Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Lu Chen's face paled, and he said: "You are not very good at arithmetic, one tael of silver a month, after three years, it will be thirty-six taels of silver.

The fifty taels of silver will take at least four years and two months. "

Qiao Jinniang smiled and said, "Okay, just four years."

Lu Chen: "..." Why did he dig a hole for himself to jump into?

Seeing Lu Chen's reluctance, Qiao Jinniang said, "You have to know that most of the guys in the restaurants in the city of Lin'an only have a monthly salary of three renminbi. If you go to find it in Lin'an, the monthly salary I give is already extremely high. .”

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Four years is four years."

Qiao Jinniang glanced at Lu Chen's slender and tender hands, and picked up his hands to take a look, "Your hands are even more slender and tender than mine."

Qiao Jinniang usually doesn't do any rough work, but she loves to learn cooking skills from her parents, so her hands are somewhat thick, and Lu Chen's hands are so tender, even tenderer than those of those embroiderers who specialize in embroidery.

"You can't do Xiao Er's work with your hands, but your arithmetic is very good, if not, help me settle the score?"

Lu Chen withdrew his hand again and again, a little blush appeared on his pale face, "Okay, it's a deal."

Just as Qiao Jinniang said, he has nowhere to go right now. He vaguely recalled his name, only remembering that there was an extremely gentle girl who called him Chen'er, and vaguely remembered his own name. The horoscope of the child's birthday.

Other than that, he was just as he knew, he was still ill and penniless, and even he could not understand the local dialect very well, so it was difficult to walk a single step.

It's better to stay in Baiweilou and sell yourself to pay off the debt.

...

Qiao Jinniang cooked a large table of medicinal meals for her parents and brought them to the room.

When the family was having dinner, Qiao Jinniang said: "Father, mother, my marriage with that young man will not be settled. Qiao Ergou found that young man and revealed that he is not a son-in-law."

Father Qiao sighed and said, "Forget it, it's not Qiao Ergou's fault. It's just that we deceived others, so I'll go and ask Matchmaker Wang to find you a better son-in-law."

Mother Qiao said: "Otherwise, we'd better sell Baiweilou, and while we're still breathing, we'll give all the money we got to Jinniang as a dowry.

Wouldn't it be better to be an official's wife if Jinniang's appearance and knowledge marry a scholar who has taken the imperial examination? Why recruit a man who is not good enough to wrong my Jinniang? "

Qiao Jinniang said: "Mother, Baiweilou is the painstaking effort of you and father for many years. You have worked hard for more than ten years and got seriously ill. How can you sell it as soon as you say it? It must not ruin the hard work of the two of you!"

Mother Qiao sighed, "But Niang Jin..."

Father Qiao said, "I'll go and talk to that young man later."

Lu Chen saw the meals brought by the housekeeper, and the Qiao family didn't treat him harshly because he didn't want to marry him. Hearing the coughing sound from outside, Lu Chen walked out of the door, and saw Father Qiao with a hunched face and a very bad expression.

Qiao's father went inside and said to Lu Chen: "Young gentleman, the matter of deceiving you into being a child's son-in-law is my own initiative, and it is really out of helplessness!

My wife and I have only one daughter. The clan relatives say that the daughter cannot inherit the family business. Before my wife and I are dead, they are eyeing them. They wanted to find a husband for Jin Niang, but it is hard to find a son-in-law these days. . "

"It just so happened that I saved you that day, so the old man lied to you. The old man really thinks that you are good-looking and a perfect match for my Jinniang.

My Jinniang's appearance and bearing are not inferior to those housekeepers' daughters. She can read, is well-behaved and sensible, and is a good wife who is hard to find with a lantern. "

Lu Chen heard the words and said: "Grandfather, I will remember your Qiao family's kindness in saving me, but I, Lu Chen, am a dignified man and absolutely cannot do anything like a family."

Father Qiao sighed, "Forget it, then you should take good care of yourself."

But on the second day, Qiao Jinniang drove Lu Chen out of the small courtyard and lived in the backyard of the restaurant, next to the woodshed.

Qiao Jinniang brought a lot of old accounts and put them in front of Lu Chen, "Hey, these are the accounts you want to settle."

"Do you remember your name?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "My name is Lu Chen."

"Which Lu and which Chen?" Qiao Jinniang asked curiously.

Lu Chen picked up a pen and wrote his name on a piece of white paper.

Qiao Jinniang glanced at her and said, "It's weird, this Lu Nai is the surname of the country, and there is also a word Chen. When your parents named you, weren't they afraid that the royal family would know your name and kill your head?

It is also fortunate that His Majesty is a Mingjun today, otherwise you will not be able to keep your head with a pretty face. "

When Lu Chen heard the word Your Majesty, he felt extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he concentrated on counting the account book that Qiao Jinniang brought over, and paid off the medicine money as soon as possible, so that he could leave here if he had some savings.

Qiao Jinniang saw that Lu Chen hardly used abacus to settle accounts, so she asked curiously, "Why don't you use abacus?"

Lu Chen said: "Do you need an abacus for these needs?"

Qiao Jinniang was doing calculations on the side, and seeing that the numbers Lu Chen wrote down were not bad, she smiled and said: "It seems that you are born to be able to manage accounts, so these accounts will be handed over to you. I'm going to see my husband."

Lu Chen concentrated on calculating the accounts. After Qiao Jinniang left, the faint scent of jasmine from her body was still left in the room.

He thought of Qiao's father's sad words. Qiao Jinniang was indeed a poor person.

Qiao Jinniang looked at the three men one after another, and couldn't help sighing. She really didn't understand where the matchmaker found these speechless men.

Back in the restaurant, Lu Chen came out with a stack of ledgers, and said to Qiao Jinniang, "The bills are all settled, and the bills are also recorded."

Qiao Jinniang flipped through it, and replied sadly, "Okay, you can put it here, and you will have meals with the guys in the restaurant in the future, and you will live in the restaurant."

Seeing Qiao Jinniang's distressed look, Lu Chen said, "Did I miscalculate?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I met a few disgusting men today, the first man was over 30 years old and entered Chang'an for the exam for ten years, and sold out his family's land.

He also kept saying that he would be an official in the future, and that he was wronged by being married, so what wronged him with that wicked look? He even planned to sell the restaurant after getting married and accompany him to Chang'an for the exam! "

Nuomi said with righteous indignation: "If it is not for the sake of the restaurant that the husband is required to marry, the young lady can be an official wife casually, and still use it to marry a man who has passed the examination for ten years?"

Lu Chen said, "It's not that I miscalculated."

Xiao Anxiang said righteously, "Then how does Matchmaker Wang introduce such a person to Master?"

Nuomi said indignantly: "That one is still good, the second one is called disgusting, it's as thin as a bamboo pole, with a black circle around it, it was brought by his mother, and his mother has to leave him for a cup of tea." Remove the tea foam...

Not only that, half of the people in the gambling shop came, it turned out that the man was originally from a small rich family. After going to a brothel, he liked to play with women and gamble. .

My lady and I were about to leave, and he also said that if he didn't owe a lot of debts, how could he agree to be the lady's son-in-law, he was so angry! "

Qiao Jinniang sighed, and said helplessly, "Oh, why is it so difficult to find a man to marry?"
