"Mother found it for you, what else could be wrong? Come and sit and listen to what mother has to say." The magistrate's wife dragged her son to sit down, smiling happily, "I have inquired very clearly, and I have seen the portrait. He is the richest man in the county seat. , Li Anqing. There is a daughter who is very handsome, but she can't speak..."
Before the magistrate's wife finished speaking, the magistrate's son stood up and shouted: "Mum? Are you crazy? You can find me a mute? I've played mute before, and I can't even scream. What's the point?"
"You listen to me first." The magistrate's wife was not annoyed, and motioned her son to sit down.
The magistrate's son sat down reluctantly.
"This mute is not easy, she is the daughter of the richest man here," said Mrs. Magistrate.
"So what? You can't find the squire's daughter for me. There are many who have a little money." The magistrate's son snorted.
"Do you know how his family became the richest man?" Mrs. Magistrate asked mysteriously.
"How do I know?" The magistrate's son became more and more impatient, "Mother, don't sell your shit, just say okay?"
"The key to becoming the richest man is this mute daughter. This mute is not easy, she would pick pearls when she was a child. You know that this county used to be a small fishing village. It was this mute who taught the fishermen how to pick pearls after they knew how to pick pearls. Later, the people in this village became rich, and the fishing village gradually developed into the prosperous look you see now." Mrs. Magistrate said with bright eyes.
"You mean, this mute is very good at picking pearls. If you marry her, you will marry a cash cow?" At this time, the magistrate's son understood the meaning behind the words of the old lady.
"Yes, she is the best pearl picker among the pearl pickers. It is said that she hasn't picked pearls much in these years, but as long as she goes to pick pearls, the pearls she brings back must be of the best quality. Those merchants are rushing to buy them, Some people bought gifts and finally sent tribute to the emperor. The concubines in the harem liked it very much. You said, if you marry such a woman, our family will have to worry about it in the future? It's good to be dumb, at least she won't talk back to you. Even if you scolded her and beat her, she didn't say a word, isn't it good? After getting married and tired of playing, you can play other things, and she will also There's no way to stop it." Mrs. Zhixian's triangular eyes were full of wicked smiles.
"Hey? It's really a good thing to hear what Mother said." The magistrate's son was also excited, "Mother, are you saying that the mute and long water spirit is real? Don't lie to me. If it looks too ugly, I don't want it."
"Let's talk about getting married. It's just marrying a cash cow, not really wanting you to live with Meimei." Mrs. Zhixian patted the back of her son's hand, "Besides, I saw the portrait, it's really a long water spirit, No one will lie to you if you lie to me."
"That's okay, that's okay, mother, hurry up and propose marriage. I'll say it first, if I see that I don't like it, I won't care about her. If there is something I like in the future, let her give way." The magistrate's son said.
"Okay, it's not a big deal to give up your seat. Anyway, it's a cash cow. When she gets married, we'll let her pick pearls every day! When we get good pearls, we'll get rich. Your father's career It will become smoother and smoother. Maybe in the future, I will be able to take the position of a high-ranking officer." The more the magistrate's wife thought about it, the more beautiful she became.
