1703 Hypocritical Scholar Please Go Away 1
Seeing Li Fugui admitting that it was Mu Qing who knocked him down, Jiujiu frowned slightly and whispered: "Father, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Li Fugui looked up and saw Jiujiu's hesitant look, frowned and said, "I am your father. Is there anything I can't tell me, but it's okay to say it?"
Jiujiu blinked her eyes, and her eyes instantly turned red and a layer of mist floated. Jiujiu pursed her lips and whispered: "Father, after my daughter fell into the water yesterday, she felt her body light and unknowingly dreamed that I got married with Mr. Mu."
Jiujiu raised his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes and said in a sad voice: "My daughter dreamed that Mr. Mu didn't like her daughter, but she was greedy for the dowry given to her daughter and reluctantly agreed to the marriage. However, after he got married with her, he did not touch her daughter a finger. She even sold all the dowry maids you gave to her daughter, and asked her daughter to wash clothes and cook every day. Finally, she said that her daughter was a hen that did not lay eggs, so that his old mother would rub her daughter."
Jiujiu originally wanted to tell the story of ** concubine, but if she said too much at once, it would inevitably lead to Li Fugui's suspicion, so she only said the first half.
When Li Fugui heard Jiujiu say that Mu Qing was greedy for her dowry, he frowned.
It was because after Mu Qing passed the exam for a scholar, Li Fugui fell in love with Mu Qing. He knew Mu Qing's family situation the best.
Mu Qing's father died early. He relied on his mother to buy embroidery to study in school. If he had not been admitted to the scholar, it would be particularly difficult to get a wife. However, even if he was admitted to the scholar, the better person still looked down on him, and he would not look down on him who was worse than her. It was only merchants like Li Fugui who wanted to marry his daughter.
Although scholars often say that they don’t bow their backs for five dou of rice, these are farts in Li Fugui’s eyes.
People cannot survive without grains and grains. Don’t bow down for five dou of rice, but because you have rice to eat now. When you don’t have a single grain of rice, you will see whether you will bow down or not.
Originally, Li Fugui didn't expect Mu Qing to be greedy for Jiujiu's dowry. After all, he was just a girl like Jiujiu. When he and his wife died, his family property would naturally belong to Jiujiu.
But when Jiujiu said this, thinking about the poor life Mu Qing lived before, even if Mu Qing didn't, his philandering old mother might instruct him to do this.
Li Fugui did not feel that his thoughts were dark and defiled scholars, but because he started from scratch and has seen too many things, and there are not too many examples of people dying for money and birds dying for food.
Originally, I thought Mu Qing was a son-in-law, but now, Li Fugui felt that he had to think about it carefully.
Seeing Li Fugui hesitating, Jiujiu knew that his words had touched Li Fugui, and said softly: "My daughter knows that her father is for my own good, but when she met for the first time yesterday, he knocked me into the water and almost killed me. My daughter is really worried."
