I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice
Chapter 22 Miss Crumb And The Stupid Maid
Zhao Hu Fen Cao is gambling.
In "Strangers in a Foreign Land," there are many capable people, and many have achieved great success. Seeing Chu Shen's business booming, he doesn't think he's a waste and decides to place a bet.
Zhao Chu Lu knows that her grandfather's decision has been made, and she has no choice left. No matter how angry she is, it won't help.
Can she run away from marriage and leave the protection of her family?
She's not that foolish.
If she runs away, she will be facing the dangers of the whole world alone. At that time, she might not just become a concubine for a businessman, but who knows where she will be sold and how many people will abuse her.
In the official records, there are already too many tragic cases of foolish women like her!
...
In this situation where everyone has their own thoughts, the ceremony for the Chu family to take in another concubine begins.
This time, the scene is grand. Not only are the Chu family, Hu family, and Zhao family present, but also neighbors, some good business partners, customers, and others. This once again confirms Chu Shen's idea: this courtyard, which combines residential and commercial purposes, is too small for the Chu family.
In addition, the west side of the city is where the market is located, and there are already many people. Many people are willing to join in the fun, making the whole Yangliu Lane bustling with noise. It even attracts many small merchants and vendors who take the opportunity to sell snacks and the like.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Lord Chu for another achievement!"
"Thank you, thank you. I apologize for the inadequate hospitality."
"......"
Chu Shen's face was about to freeze from smiling. He didn't expect there would be so many people coming this time. It seems that the Hu family and the Zhao family have strong connections.
He looked behind him at the three pregnant concubines and the three young girls who were temporarily serving as maids. They were already his entire family, and it was truly a small and weak household.
He still had to work hard.
He turned his gaze to the crowd congested in Yangliu Lane, watching the excitement.
Since his family was weak, he could only rely on external help. He waved to Yu Yazhi, who came to help, and instructed him to set up another twenty tables for a banquet.
Sure enough, a large group of people who didn't expect to have a free meal suddenly cheered, giving the Chu family a boost.
This sound reached the courtyard next to the Chu family, where a young girl with a childish face and a bear-like figure was leaning against the window frame, watching the excitement. She spat out a melon seed shell and said, "This playboy really knows how to win people over."
Next to her was a maid named Xiaoli who was also eating melon seeds. "Miss, this young master of the Chu family may be a bit promiscuous. He already has three concubines and wants to marry two more. But inviting everyone to eat, shouldn't that make him a good person?"
The young girl scoffed, "You silly girl, if you were outside, you would definitely be deceived miserably. Just because someone invites you to eat doesn't mean they're a good person. How do you know they won't put drugs in the food and sell you to a brothel?"
Xiaoli's face turned red immediately. "Oh, Miss, what have you been reading? How can you say such vulgar words? Drugs and brothels..."
The young girl sneered, "What do you mean by vulgar? Aren't these things a reality? Let me tell you, there's a flower thief in 'Knife Without an Umbrella on a Rainy Night' who likes to do these things. Many naive female characters like you have been deceived and sold to brothels after being tricked out of their money and virtue..."
"Don't listen, don't listen, Miss, you should be ashamed! How can a girl like you read such obscene books? If Madam finds out, she will beat your butt until it's bruised!" Xiao Li raised her hands and covered her ears, looking disgusted.
But Miss stood with her hands on her hips, laughing heartily, teasing the foolish maid, "My mother is too busy to bother with me now. My father has really messed up this time, and it seems like the tyrant emperor is really going to punish him. My mother doesn't even have time to clean up the mess!"
Xiao Li tried hard to make the young lady feel a sense of urgency instead of being like a salted fish in this situation, "Don't you worry about your father's safety, Miss? With things like this, how can you still have the leisure to read those obscene books?"
Miss shrugged, "But I can't do anything else. Reading books helps me relieve stress. Besides, we still have my mother, right? With her around, everything will be fine. Let's just hide and not cause her any trouble."
Xiao Li couldn't do anything about this indifferent young lady, so she vented her anger on the melon seeds.
Bite them!
But soon, she saw the young lady suddenly hide behind the wall and pull her over.
"Miss..."
"Don't make a sound, trouble is coming."
At this moment, the young lady no longer looked like a salted fish, but rather alert, like a female leopard.
...
On the other side, the Chu family.
As Chu Shen listened to the loud cheers and words of gratitude from the guests outside, such as "Thank you, Lord Chu, for your generosity" and "Lord Chu, you are righteous and kind," he had already entered the banquet hall and sat in the main seat. Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family squinted his eyes slightly.
This "foreigner" son-in-law is quite capable. It seems that my father's judgment is sharp and accurate. The alliance between the Zhao family and this person should bring considerable gains.
On the other hand, Hu Lao Ye, who was sitting as the father of the bride, frowned slightly, feeling a bit sorry for the expenses incurred by the son-in-law. He couldn't help but be meticulous and calculating, saying, "Feasting those commoners with lavish banquets is too extravagant, too extravagant."
Zhao Lao Ye pinched his beard and said lightly, "The world has been difficult in recent years, and there is always a layer of gloom hanging over the city. It's good to have some liveliness brought by the talented son-in-law from Chu. It adds some joy."
Although Hu Lao Ye was not afraid of the Zhao family, he didn't want to offend them either. Being tactful and versatile was the attitude of doing business. Upon hearing this, he immediately changed his expression and agreed, "Zhao Ye is right. The talented son-in-law from Chu is generous in his actions, which is also a blessing for our daughters."
Zhao Lao Ye nodded and pretended to sigh, "As a father, I only hope that my daughter will marry into a good family. The talented son-in-law from Chu is indeed a good person. My girl probably won't suffer."
Hu Lao Ye echoed a few times, but in his heart, he thought, "Your fourth Miss Zhao is fortunate, but my third daughter is unlucky to have to be with her."
It turned out that Miss Zhao, the fourth daughter of the Zhao family, still had some reputation in the upper-class circles of Nanping City, but it wasn't a good reputation. Mainly because her behavior did not conform to the current expectations for women, she was not virtuous and well-behaved, but rather went against the norms.
People were not interested in understanding the Zhao family's inheritance and nurturing of their descendants. They only knew that Miss Zhao was always busy and appeared in public, busy with visits, statistics, coordinating various matters, and resolving disputes... What kind of things should a daughter of a family be doing? Did she still want to inherit the position of the Zhao family's inheritance and nurturing?
Anyway, she was quite unconventional, which made people not like her so much.
Zhao Lao Ye also knew how others would think, which was one of the reasons why he didn't like Miss Zhao. After saying this sentence, he stopped mentioning it and turned to talk to Hu Lao Ye about business matters, and they ended up having a pleasant conversation.
Just at this moment, Yu Yazhi, the known guest brought by Yu Zi, loudly announced, "The second young master of the Zhou family in the capital, with a Yin Yang fish jade pendant, congratulates the newlyweds!"
