The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?
Chapter 75: Proposing Marriage
A county magistrate is no more than a seventh-rank official, but his master is a fifth rank official!
The daughter of the county magistrate's family can marry the son of Sima Zhou is already high.
He is still unwilling? !
What right does he have to be reluctant?
Although Su Qian's appearance is extremely beautiful, in the state of Chu, appearance cannot be used as a bargaining chip, what can be used as a bargaining chip is still the power and authority of the family.
Because appearance will continue to depreciate over time, and besides, there will be a shortage of beautiful women around the children of the family?
Obviously not!
Therefore, the aristocratic family is not stupid, and they haven't gotten too hot-headed to marry a woman who is just a very good-looking vase.
The original Xu Sima also disagreed with his son marrying a county magistrate's daughter, but helplessly, his son's reputation was really bad.
It was so bad that even the few clans who were well-matched were willing to marry their daughter to him, so there was no way for Xu Sima to agree to his son's request.
Since no one with the same status is willing to take it, let's settle for the next best thing...
But what Steward Li didn't expect was that even if they had to settle for the next best thing, they still didn't want to marry...
However, the difference is that in the past, the power of the family was similar, and coercion and bribery did not work, and it might even cause hostility.
After all, the Su family only has a small county magistrate, a small Zhima official, so it is easy to force him.
Otherwise, if Sima of Tangtang State issued a letter of appointment to a county magistrate's family, and the family refused to agree, where would he put his face in the future?
Their Xu family still wants to hang out in Yongzhou City!
Steward Li looked at Su Jiyuan and said, "Lord Su, you should know that my master is Zhou Sima. If Ling Ai gets married with my Young Master, then the Su family and the Xu family will be in-laws from now on, and my master will naturally be more in-laws." Support Master Su, Master Su, don't miss this opportunity..."
Butler Li's words are obvious. If you agree to this marriage, it will be much easier in the officialdom in the future, but if you don't agree... weigh it yourself.
The first-level of the official university can kill people, not to mention the difference between the county magistrate and Sima is not the first-level!
At this time, County Magistrate Su was a little hesitant. Of course, he was not hesitating whether to marry his daughter to the Xu family, which he would not agree to.
What he hesitated was how to tactfully refuse, at least let the Su family and the Xu family have faces...
It won't make the two troubles too ugly.
After all, he studied hard for ten years before he became a Jinshi, and he became a county magistrate in a state city like Yongzhou City, with a bright future!
He didn't want to offend the Xu family.
Otherwise, if the Xu family casually put on a small shoe for him and made a stumbling block, it is estimated that he will have to stop at the county magistrate for the rest of his life, and he might not even be able to keep the county magistrate position.
Butler Li looked at Su Jiyuan who was still silent, and said again: "Master Su, are you trying to reject the Xu family?!"
Finally, Su Jiyuan sighed and said: "It's not because I don't want to marry the little girl to the Xu family, but because Qian'er has already made a marriage contract with someone else and will get married soon, I am also very grateful to Xu Young Master." I am afraid that the great love for my little girl will disappoint Master Xu Young's kindness."
Butler Li frowned: "Your love has already made a marriage contract with someone? Which son is it? Why has my Xu family never heard of it?"
Su Jiyuan had no choice but to fool around: "This person's name is Xu Qing, and he is still a guest at the official's house at this time. If Steward Li doesn't believe it, I can take Steward Li to have a look."
So the two walked out of the house.
Butler Li saw two people talking in a small pavilion not far away. The man was wearing a white scholar's robe, and the woman was wearing a white skirt.
The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and they look like a perfect match.
There are many big families in Yongzhou City, but I have never heard of a big family with the surname Xu! This shows that their Xu family can still afford it!
If both kindness and strength are used, perhaps the person named Xu Qing can retreat in spite of difficulties.
After all, the master entrusted this matter to him, but he failed to handle it well, losing his face is a small matter, and being punished by the master is a big deal!
How long did it take him to become a housekeeper? He didn't want to be kicked down by the master because of this incident, so his good life would be over!
Thinking of this, Steward Li strode forward, Su Jiyuan saw that Steward Li didn't listen to persuasion at all, and walked forward, panicked, and hurriedly followed.
Originally, he was just thinking that this Butler Li looked at it from a distance, making him think that there was such a thing, that the Xu family would spare their own daughter, but he never expected that this Butler Li would not give up just like that!
Not only did he not give up, but he even walked in that direction!
This is the rhythm to reveal!
After all, this time, I didn't talk to Xu Qing in advance!
Moreover, these two times because of his close relationship with his daughter, I have targeted him twice, in case he takes revenge...
At this time, County Magistrate Su really felt what it means to retaliate.
Because of his daughter's willingness, County Magistrate Su took his jealousy and targeted this person twice in a row. He never thought that revenge would come so quickly...
If County Magistrate Su knew earlier that Xu Qing's existence might one day be related to his daughter's lifelong happiness, he would treat Xu Qing better!
The county magistrate Su really couldn't figure out why Xu Qing didn't make trouble at this time.
However, at this time, the arrow is on the string, so we can only gamble! Bet that he has some ideas about his own daughter, and will help smooth things over for his daughter's future.
Butler Li walked into the small pavilion, Xu Qing and Su Qian stood up, both of them were a little puzzled, who is this person?
At this time, County Magistrate Su followed closely behind and said, "I will introduce to you, this is the butler of Xu Sima's family, Steward Li."
Seeing Butler Li, Xu Qing couldn't help but said, "That's the one with kidney deficiency... cough cough... Xu Shen?"
Su Qian's face returned to the coldness of the past, she looked at Steward Li and said, "I've seen Steward Li, but I don't know why Steward Li is here?"
Butler Li looked at Xu Qing and asked, "You are Xu Qing?"
Xu Qing nodded, not knowing what Butler Li wanted to do.
At this time, County Magistrate Su hurriedly said: "That's right, this person is Xu Qing who made a marriage contract with my daughter. I'm afraid he will disappoint Master Xu Young's kindness. It's a pity that my daughter has no chance with Master Xu Young."
Su Qian and Xu Qing were taken aback when they heard the magistrate Su's remarks, and then they couldn't help but glance at each other.
They all thought of what the kid with kidney deficiency said at the end of the Qixi Festival poetry meeting that day...
It turns out...he wasn't just talking!
He already had a plan!
Su Qian heard her father say that Xu Qing had made a marriage contract with her. Although she quickly guessed that it was just a stopgap measure, her pretty face couldn't help but get hot.
