Li Fugui originally wanted to marry Jiujiu to Mu Qing because of his good looks and the fact that he passed the county examination. However, after hearing Jiujiu's words, he realized that even if Mu Qing passed the county examination, who knew if he could pass the provincial examination?
Thinking of the future, Li Fugui's thoughts of marrying Jiujiu to Mu Qing instantly faded.
Li Fugui lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. When he raised his head again, his face was full of regret.
Yesterday, when Jiujiu fell into the water, after hearing that Jiujiu was fine, he went to find Mu Qing and asked him to marry Jiujiu.
Li Fugui told Jiujiu about how he asked Mu Qing to marry Jiujiu yesterday. After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiujiu with a regretful expression. Coupled with Li Fugui's round face, he looked like a pufferfish and was quite cute.
Jiujiu had already guessed that Li Fugui was looking for Mu Qing when she asked Xiaoya to call Li Fugui over. Although Li Fugui's visit to Mu Qing was rather abrupt, it happened to reflect Li Fugui's love for his daughter.
Now that Li Fugui was being honest with her, Jiujiu only smiled slightly. "Father, why are you upset? Tomorrow, I will find Young Master Mu and make things clear. "
"You?"
This dynasty was quite tolerant. Although the status of women was not as high as in the Tang Dynasty, it was still exceptionally high. Before marriage, it was naturally possible for women to meet with outsiders.
However, because Li Fugui was the lowest merchant, he had always wanted Jiujiu to be above others. Therefore, he had always treated Jiujiu like a daughter of a noble family. Although she did not leave the house, it was not far off. When he heard that Jiujiu wanted to meet Mu Qing, Li Fugui's first reaction was whether Jiujiu had taken a fancy to Mu Qing.
Li Fugui's feelings for Mu Qing had faded a lot. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Jiujiu marry Mu Qing. Seeing that Jiujiu wanted to meet Mu Qing, he hurriedly said, "Jiu 'er, I will make things clear with Mu Qing."
"Father." Jiujiu's tone became heavy as she called out to Li Fugui. Her eyes were filled with displeasure as she said, "Father, yesterday you asked Mu Qing to marry me, and tomorrow you're telling Mu Qing not to marry me. What do you think your daughter is?"
When Jiujiu said this, Li Fugui's face instantly turned red. His lips squirmed for a moment before he said, "Father, father …"
The words' for your own good 'were stuck in Li Fugui's throat, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Seeing that Li Fugui couldn't say a word to defend himself, Jiujiu sighed softly and said, "I know that father wants to protect me, but you said this today and tomorrow. If it was something else, it would be fine, but it has to do with my marriage. If Mu Qing flew into a rage out of humiliation and spouted nonsense in front of outsiders, what would happen to my reputation?"
"He dares?" Hearing Jiujiu say that Mu Qing was spouting nonsense in front of outsiders, Li Fugui frowned and scolded fiercely.
Jiujiu chuckled and said, "Father, you may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. If he says he won't, will he really not?"
Li Fugui frowned. That was the truth, but it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that Li Fugui didn't say anything, Jiujiu said in a low voice, "I know father is worried, but this concerns my lifelong happiness. I dare not be careless. Moreover, with my talent and appearance, no matter how shallow I am, I won't take a fancy to a poor scholar like Mu Qing."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "Moreover, I dreamed of Mu Qing yesterday.
If you read for a long time, please pay attention to the rest of your eyes. Nibbling Book Network recommended reading:
His mother schemed and bullied me. Even if I knew that the dream was fake, I still made up my mind after I woke up. Even if I don't marry in this life, I will definitely not have anything to do with Mu Qing. "
Hearing Jiujiu talk about the dream last night, although Li Fugui felt that the dream might be fake, Jiujiu almost died yesterday and her weak appearance really scared him. Moreover, thinking that Mu Qing was just a poor scholar, Jiujiu was obviously marrying a lower status if she married him. When he mentioned this matter yesterday, he was still hesitating. It was not like Jiujiu couldn't get married. Why should she hang herself on Mu Qing, this crooked tree?
Thinking of this, Li Fugui naturally nodded in agreement. However, thinking that Jiujiu was a little embarrassed to talk about the matter with Mu Qing, he reminded Jiujiu to bring Xiao Ya and Xiao He along when she talked to Mu Qing tomorrow.
In response to Li Fugui's concern, Jiujiu naturally smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Jiujiu agreed and Jiujiu looked tired, Li Fugui urged Jiujiu to rest early and left quickly.
Jiujiu's high fever had just subsided. Talking to Li Fugui for a long time had taken a lot of effort. After Li Fugui left, Jiujiu asked Xiao Ya to help her to the bed to rest.
She slept until the afternoon. Jiujiu drank some medicine and ate some porridge before falling into a deep sleep again. When she woke up the next day, it was already noon.
After sleeping all day and drinking medicine yesterday, her body was obviously much better than yesterday.
Feeling the sweat on her body, Jiujiu frowned and asked Xiao Ya to help her bathe. Only then did she sit in front of the dressing mirror and let Xiao Ya dress her.
Jiuniang had not yet reached marriageable age and her appearance had not yet matured. Her face was inevitably a little young and tender. However, even if she had not yet matured, one could still see how beautiful she would be in the future.
Two curved eyebrows, a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, small and rosy lips under the bridge of her nose, and a standard oval-shaped face. Because of her illness, Jiujiu's face inevitably carried traces of illness, which made her look particularly pitiful.
Xiao Ya combed Jiujiu's hair deftly and asked in a low voice, "Young Miss, which dress do you want to wear today?"
Jiujiu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before replying, "I'll wear that red dress."
Jiujiu did not like the aesthetics here, so she did her own makeup. The ends of her eyebrows were raised, turning into sharp sword-like eyebrows. The ends of her eyes were darkened, forming an aggressive black eyeliner. She even applied bright red lipstick on her lips. Coupled with the red dress, even though Jiujiu's face was young and tender, she was full of vigor. She did not look like a delicate young miss, but like a domineering queen.
When Jiujiu was done with her makeup, Xiao Ya, who was standing behind Jiujiu, had already become Jiujiu's die-hard fan. She looked at Jiujiu with starry eyes.
Xiao Ya helped Jiujiu up and looked at Jiujiu's face. Her cheeks were red as she praised, "Young Miss, you're really beautiful."
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at Xiao Ya, whose cheeks were red. She chuckled and said, "Xiao Ya is also very beautiful."
Xiao Ya was two years older than Jiuniang and had already reached marriageable age. She had a small round face, delicate and cute. Although she was not the type that would amaze people at first glance, she was definitely the type that could be looked at for a long time.
After being praised by Jiujiu, Xiao Ya's cheeks turned red again. She held Jiujiu's arm and walked out.
Her considerate old father, Li Fugui, had already prepared the carriage.
Jiujiu sat in the carriage and ordered the coachman to go to Yunyue Restaurant.
