Summary of the previous chapter: Li Yao is still alive and was rescued by Shui Ling'er and Bei Mingshuang...
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know what House said to Lisa, but seeing Lisa's unnatural expression, Ma Xiaoquan knew that House definitely didn't say anything nice.
Sure enough, after a brief conversation with his sister, House suddenly turned his head and said loudly to Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, if you want my sister, according to your Han rules, do you have to pay a betrothal gift?"
Ma Xiaoquan was slightly stunned, smiled and nodded: "There is such a tradition, but..."
Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, House stepped forward rudely, stretched out his hand in front of Ma Xiaoquan, and said, "Then give me some money, not much, just 10,000 taels!"
"One million taels?" Li Yao spoke first, "House, why don't you go and grab it?"
House snorted coldly and ignored Li Yao.
"Ma Xiaoquan, just tell me, will you give me this 10,000 tael betrothal gift or not?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and said nothing.
At this moment, Lisa's father walked out while coughing.
House turned his head and looked, smiled and hurriedly stepped forward and said to his father: "Father, Ma Xiaoquan has promised to give us 10,000 taels."
Lisa's father was shocked and asked: "One thousand taels? What 10,000 taels?"
House rubbed his hands and said, "Because of Lisa, Ma Xiaoquan married Lisa, so he can't give us money?"
"This, this is not good, Mr. Ma saved us, and we still..."
House laughed and spoke the clan language again.
Li Yao came over and whispered to Ma Xiaoquan: "Brother Ma, I hate that house..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, 10,000 taels is just 10,000 taels."
...
House came over again, as if he was very familiar with Ma Xiaoquan, put his arms around Ma Xiaoquan's neck, and said: "Well, according to you Han people, you are my brother-in-law. Then, my brother-in-law, I will give you all the money I want."
It’s cash silver.”
"What, cash?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Haos, I have the banknote, you can exchange it yourself, but if you ask me to take so much cash, I don't have it yet."
"No? Won't you change it if you don't?" House said with a commanding tone.
"Presumptuous!" Li Yao couldn't help it anymore and roared.
House raised his head, looking like he wasn't afraid of Li Yao.
Li Yao was very angry, braided his sleeves, clenched his fists and prepared to hit House.
House was a thief and hurriedly hid behind Ma Xiaoquan and said: "Li Yao, don't be so presumptuous. I tell you, I am Ma Xiaoquan's brother-in-law now. If you lay a finger on me, I will let Ma Xiaoquan do it."
Hit you!"
Li Yao frowned and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, but he still didn't put down his clenched fist.
Ma Xiaoquan gave Li Yao an imperceptible wink. Li Yao was briefly stunned when he saw it. He immediately put down his fist and turned and walked away as if he was afraid of House's words.
After getting a bargain, House was very proud. Like Ma Xiaoquan's eldest brother, he reached out and patted Ma Xiaoquan's head and said: "Well, you did a good job. By the way, when can I get the money?"
?”
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have ten taels of silver here, you can take it first."
When House heard that there was cash, his eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles. Before Ma Xiaoquan could take it out, his hands were already empty in front of Ma Xiaoquan.
"Ahem!" Lisa couldn't stand it any longer, and coughed twice to remind her brother. Unexpectedly, House was not only uninterested, but also said carelessly: "Lisa, wait until I disguise myself before I go out, um, I'll give it to you later."
Buy a nice dress."
...
After beating House away, Ma Xiaoquan came to the study. Li Yao was standing upright at the door of the study, looking up at the sky without saying a word.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and patted Li Yao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Li Yao, I kept you waiting for a long time."
Li Yao came back to his senses and shook his head: "It didn't take long, but that House really made me want to beat him!"
Lisa and her father were following behind Ma Xiaoquan. When they heard Li Yao say that he wanted to beat House, Lisa's father quickly stepped forward and begged: "No, please don't do that to House. He has no ill intentions, and now
He has also lost the most precious thing, so please show mercy to him, please!"
On the left side of Ma Xiao's body, Shui Ling'er said: "House said that Captain Ma Xiaoquan will first need 10,000 taels of cash to marry Lisa. Is it true?"
"No, no, no, you must not take this seriously, House is just talking."
Hua Yue said: "Since we are just talking, elder, let me ask you, House has been following you for so long, how much has he learned about your skills?"
"this......."
Hua Yue said again: "Doesn't it sound like you haven't learned much?"
"No, no, no, House learned it, learned it"
"Okay, if that's the case, we can agree to the 10,000 taels of cash for marrying Lisa, but if you want to get this batch of cash, you must pass our test, otherwise..." Hua
After Yue finished speaking, she looked at Ma Xiaoquan, who gave her an affirmative nod. Hua Yue continued with a smile, "Otherwise, these 10,000 taels will be reduced to 1 tael."
"One tael? Isn't this...the shrinkage too big?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's not a big deal. To be honest, I saved you and I should be your savior. Not only did you not repay me, you also asked for a large sum of money from me. I don't know what to say about this deal."
We need to find fairness, don’t we?”
"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Ma, for saving our family. Well, this matter is settled. I wonder how Mr. Ma will test it?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Hua Yue, who nodded, understood what Ma Xiaoquan meant, and stepped forward and said: "It's very simple. I'll give you ten taels of money for a period of one month and see how much money you can make. Of course, I want you to...
....Money makes money, do you understand?”
"Making money?" Lisa and her father looked at each other. The father and daughter seemed very happy with Hua Yue's suggestion.
"good!"
Hua Yue looked at Ma Xiaoquan again. Ma Xiaoquan hummed and said, "Fangfang, go to the accounting room and get ten taels of cash."
"Yeah! I'll go right away!" The little girl from the Fang family nodded, turned and left.
"Okay, Lisa, take your father down to rest. I still have something to discuss with Yue'er and Li Yao!" Ma Xiaoquan said to Lisa with a smile.
Lisa looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and the worry in her heart suddenly stabilized. Looking at Ma Xiaoquan's expression, she didn't seem to care much about her brother's rudeness to him just now. Well, this man is really a rare and good man.
