"Let's wait until she comes back to the academy with you to talk about Hyun-zhi's apprenticeship ceremony." Cui Taigong said with a smile.
"good."
In Huo Qubing's confused expression, Xie Yuan was the first disciple in his life who wanted to accept him seriously.
Taigong Cui was not in good health and soon left the courtyard, leaving Cui Xun alone.
"Cui Xunzhi... it sounds a bit like the name of a boy. May I ask which Xunzhi the girl is?" Xie Yuan asked with a smile.
Cui Xunzhi made a gesture, and seeing that Xie Yuan couldn't understand sign language, he looked left and right, walked to the table, dipped some tea in it and wrote two words on the table.
"Fei Fei Qi curtains Xiu, and Hyun and Hyun are full of dew. It's a good name." Xie Yuan looked at the Hyun, thought of a poem, and read it out.
Cui Xunzhi's ears turned red, and after bowing politely, he left with the maid who arrived.
"Master, is it true that he wants to accept Cui's daughter as his disciple?" Huo Qubing, who recovered from the shock, asked quickly after the little girl left.
"receive."
"My lord, doesn't he only accept children from poor families?"
"The Cui family has tens of thousands of books. I can just recruit one of Cui's daughters to teach her the six arts. The ten thousand volumes of books will benefit those poor people who want to read." Xie Yuan touched his nose.
He admitted that he was interested in Cui's collection of thousands of books.
He didn't have any other hobbies in ancient times, he just liked these ancient books that have been lost in the 21st century.
Huo Qubing: "..."
People outside who wanted to marry the Cui family were all competing against each other. Only the Lord accepted Cui's daughter as his disciple in order to collect tens of thousands of books.
It has to be him.
…
A secluded place outside the courtyard.
Lu Zhong lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see the look in his eyes.
"Tai Gong Cui has no children. He only has one daughter. By marrying her, he can control the entire Cui family. Shaohan, you have to think about the future of the Lu family." The head of the Lu family, standing opposite the young man, advised earnestly.
"The Xie family of Chen County also intends to marry Cui's daughter. My father can just let them marry them. I also want to continue studying ancient books, and I have no intention of loving children for the time being." Lu Zhong buried his head lower.
"You're such a bastard! Let me marry you not for romance, but for profit! The Cui family has a century-old family fortune and a profound foundation. If you marry a daughter of the Cui family and become an official in the future, Taigong Cui will definitely use all the strength of the family to support you." Lu
The head of the family glared at Lu Zhong with hatred.
He, Mr. Lu, has been shrewd for most of his life, so why did he end up with such a arrogant personality?
It makes him angry.
Lu Zhong responded vaguely, not wanting to talk to the head of the Lu family anymore, so he found an excuse to leave.
When the young man left, the confidant of the head of the Lu family came out.
"How?" The head of the Lu family pressed his temples and suppressed the irritation in his eyes.
"Just now, I went to listen to the question. Grand Duke Cui intends to betroth Cui's daughter to Xie Yuan." His confidants bowed their heads.
The head of the Lu family was stunned.
Betrothed to Xie Yuan?
Cui Taigong is out of his mind. He ignored so many children from aristocratic families and chose such a rubbish boy from a humble family?
Wait, he doesn't want to support Xie Yuan and support poor families so that more children from poor families can join the officialdom.
"How did Xie Yuan respond?" the head of the Lu family asked quickly.
"Xie Yuan refused."
"Oh." The head of the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief.
"but……"
"Huh? He was forced to agree?"
"Never."
"Oh." The head of the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief again.
"but……"
"But what?" The head of the Lu family frowned.
"Cui Taigong promised Xie Yuan 10,000 copies of Cui's collection of books and asked Xie Yuan to accept his daughter as a disciple. Xie Yuan agreed."
The head of the Lu family: "..."
What did he think? He was shocked.
Damn it, will you lose two kilograms of meat by saying it all at once?
No matter what, as long as Cui's daughter is not married, she will have a chance.
As long as she enters the family of the Lu family and dies of illness due to frailty two years later, the Lu family will be able to think of ways to embezzle the Cui family's property bit by bit.
The head of the Lu family rubbed his chin and slowly narrowed his eyes. This chapter has been completed!
