Three Marriages

Chapter 10: Talk about marriage together (1)

Views:

Long Er thinks he has seen quite a few women, with various looks, temperaments, backgrounds, and ages. Among them, there are quite a few who expressed interest in him, some who gave gifts, some who gave poems, some who secretly flirted with him, some who flirted with him, some who hinted at themselves, and some who sent others to convey...

However, no one has said to him so bravely, "I want the second master to marry me".

Long Er had seen the most daring person before, but he asked him why he didn't marry a wife in a secretive way. Humph, it's really boring.

But now this is not boring, this is very surprising and shocking. Its extent completely exceeded Long Er's imagination and expectations. What kind of woman would directly say "marry me" to a man who can't be called too familiar

Well, actually, Long Er felt that he and Ju Muer were quite familiar.

However, she said as she said, but with a tired face, she was haggard like a ghost, her head was wrapped with a cloth towel soaked in medicine and blood, and she was wearing clothes that didn't fit well and were obviously borrowed from others. Shi Fendai didn't show her hairstyle, and then she was holding a broken bamboo stick...

Just come and talk to him like this

Really, really, he didn't even have the heart to scold her.

With such a disheveled appearance, he simply didn't pay attention to him!

Long Er stared at the blind girl who was biting her lip after begging for a kiss, and hummed in his heart: Do you also know that you are uneasy? I thought you were as brave as an armored stone shield.

He stared at her, coughed twice for a while, and asked, "Why?"

"Ah?" Ju Muer was stunned.

Long Er felt very unhappy, would he be stupid after begging for a kiss? He snorted slightly and asked again, "Why should I marry you?"

"Because..." Ju Muer hesitated a little, and then seemed to have made up her mind, "You said that the money shopkeeper Lu earned for you in a year is enough to buy more than twenty tea shops, but I'm afraid I can't eat half a tea shop in ten years." The second master is the most meticulous in calculating, and he must be able to figure it out. Adding me is much more cost-effective than losing a shopkeeper Lu."

The reason is really—

Let him Long Er quite appreciate it.

But how could he fall behind

"How much dowry do you have?"

This time Ju Mu'er was calm and calm, and answered smoothly: "If I marry here, the second master can earn at least 20 more tea shops in a year, 200 in ten years, and 400 in twenty years. The second master must know better than me how much a tea shop is worth. I believe that this dowry is by no means less than that of any big family."

Long Er choked for a moment, but she took his word for it, and kept reminding him how much he would earn less without shopkeeper Lu.

Hmph, is he someone who values money so much

Well, he is very important. But is he the kind of person who would just marry a wife for money

If it was for money, the female city lord who was willing to give him half of the city's property at the beginning just to marry him, he would have married sooner, and it would be the turn of this skinny blind girl with few eyesight

So Long Er changed the question again: "Can you read the account book? Can you make plans? Are you capable of handling the affairs of the house?"

Ju Muer pursed her lips tightly, feeling a little unhappy in her heart. She was blind, did he deliberately humiliate her

"Second Master has never been married, did he fall in love with the accountant and the steward in the mansion?"

Ouch, talk back!

Long Er smiled instead of anger, and said: "You suddenly came here and begged me to marry you, shouldn't you think of some good reasons to convince me?"

Ju Mu'er replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Second Master made a mistake, I didn't come here to ask for it, in fact, I think my exchange terms, Second Master made a lot of money."

"Could it be that I'm the one who should ask for it?" Long Er frowned, the words of this blind girl really made people angry.

"Second Master doesn't need to ask. If Second Master says he wants to marry me at this moment, I will definitely not refuse. Not only will I not refuse, I will also help Second Master to clear up the injustice of shopkeeper Lu."

Long Er choked. He has negotiated many times in the business field, and he has seen even the toughest ones, but he has never seen someone like her who is so obedient when she gets a bargain, who wants to save face but really has a way to stop you.

Long Er was very unhappy: "Miss Ju, you think too beautifully. I don't want to marry you, and I don't need your help. What kind of power is my Dragon Mansion, and how can the mansion be put on a show? The truth of the case will soon come to light." Then the truth will come to light. So, Miss Ju, you have wishful thinking, and your wishful thinking has gone wrong."

Long Er said this in a very bad tone. He saw Ju Muer's expression gradually stiffen, and saw that her fingers holding the bamboo stick turned white due to the force, she pursed her lips tightly and blinked her eyes vigorously. Long Er wasn't sure if she was going to cry.

The defensiveness and embarrassment she set up made Long Er somewhat regretful, he wondered if what he said just now was too harsh

Both fell silent.

After a while, Ju Muer said "Excuse me" with a choked voice, then got up and walked out.

Now Long Er was a little anxious, the sadness in her voice made him very uncomfortable. She just left and stopped bickering with him? Don't fight back

Ju Muer walked much faster than when she came, and in a blink of an eye, she had already left the house and walked onto the path. Long Er looked at her through the window and found that no one was leading her, yet she could still recognize the way.

Seeing her go further and further away, Long Er couldn't sit still. He jumped up, ran two quick steps, and caught up with her in twos and threes.

"Miss Ju." He called her.

Ju Mu'er didn't look back, but lowered her head and whispered, "Second Master doesn't need to see you off, I know the way."

He did not doubt that she knew her way. He suddenly understood that when she came, she walked slowly because she was silently remembering the way, so when she left, she was always much more agile. But the point now is not her knowing the way, nor is he going to send her off.

"Miss Ju." Long Er took two steps forward and grabbed her bamboo stick, "Let's go after breakfast."

Ju Muer shook her head, her voice was still low: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to bother you anymore." She exerted a little strength in her hand, but she couldn't move the bamboo stick. She frowned and twitched twice more.

Seeing her angry face, Long Er wanted to laugh at the way she tried her best but couldn't pull the bamboo stick in vain. He said again: "Let's have breakfast together. I always want to see how much you eat. If you can't eat half of my shop's money in ten years."

Ju Muer froze for a moment and stood still. But Long Er pulled the bamboo stick to lead her back.

"It's the same as negotiating a business. It needs to be negotiated. If you can't agree on one thing, you can change it. Go around and go around, and you can always get to the point. How can you be like you, lose your temper after talking a few words?" Let's go, how can this work?"

Ju Muer didn't answer, she was a little confused whether Long Er wanted to continue teasing her or was really willing to talk to her again. But at the moment he was pulling her away, she was willing to go with him. No matter how harsh this man's words were and no matter how bad his behavior was, he really didn't mean to hurt her.

Good and evil, she thought she could still tell the difference.

The two returned to the original wing and had breakfast. Ju Muer didn't eat much, thanked her, and sat there sullenly without speaking.

Seeing her appearance, Long Er really wanted to hit her on the head, so he said a few unpleasant words, why is she so pitiful.

He cleared his throat and asked her: "You said that there is a way to clear shopkeeper Lu's grievances. What is the way? Let me hear."

Ju Muer didn't speak. So Long Er changed the question: "Since you haven't seen the real culprit, how can you be sure that it wasn't Shopkeeper Lu?"

This time Ju Mu'er replied: "In the Yatang, I touched the clothes on the shopkeeper Lu while I was talking to him. He was wearing silk, while the murderer was wearing ordinary clothes. Furthermore, Shopkeeper Lu smelled of burning incense, and he was reciting scriptures or playing the piano before coming here. The smell on his body is different from that of the murderer."

Long Er was surprised that she was able to write down these details when she was in a dangerous situation.

"I have other clues, I can find the real culprit."

"Since you know so much, why didn't you tell Mr. Fu Yin above the yamen hall?"

Ju Muer lowered her head and said nothing.

Long Er said again: "Do you know that if you keep this secret, shopkeeper Lu will be wronged for nothing, and how much suffering will he have to suffer for no reason when he is imprisoned in that prison?"

Ju Muer bit her lip and still didn't speak, but her fingers clenched the bamboo stick tightly to reveal her emotions.

Long Er sighed, and asked again: "If I don't want to marry you, will you really allow shopkeeper Lu to die unjustly?"

Ju Muer was shocked, raised her head, and met Long Er's eyes with those eyes that could not see anything: "If the second master does not agree, I will tell Mr. Fu Yin everything."

"If you say that, you won't have any bargaining chips for me to marry you."

"Anyway, the second master said he wouldn't marry me." Ju Muer curled her lips, showing a trace of childishness, "The second master is willing to let shopkeeper Lu know that the second master does not want to marry a wife to help him, but I don't want shopkeeper Lu to think that I If you don't achieve your goal, you will die."

Long Er smiled: "So, I'm not as good as you."

Ju Muer nodded, thinking it was funny. She used evil intentions to force him to marry her, but he didn't agree. A disagreement should have caused enmity, but why are the two of them talking happily now

This kind of joy suddenly made Ju Muer feel a little awkward. She got up to leave, but Long Er called her: "Wait."

Ju Muer froze for a moment and stopped.

"You sit down."

Ju Muer sat down.

But Long Er didn't speak again. Ju Muer was puzzled, so she had to sit and wait for words.

She didn't know that Long Er was struggling in his heart at the moment. He hesitated and hesitated, he really didn't want to marry a wife, but he also knew that Ju Muer had put all her chips on the table, and she would not beg him again. If she didn't come to beg him or argue with him, he would lose a lot of fun.

And why did she suddenly want to marry? Does she have a problem

If he doesn't agree to marry her, will she find someone else

Then if she married someone else, would it be difficult for him to see her and tease her

Long Er thought for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Miss Ju, last time at the tea house, you said that you have a way to make me earn back the money for building the eaves, what is the way?"

Ju Muer was surprised that he asked this, but she still answered: "I just think that in the capital, there are many rich and powerful families like the second master, and the money is too much to spend, so they want more money." It’s fame and power. East Street is the most important commercial market in the capital, if there is such a big move as building the street, as long as the name is cleverly used, there should be rich people who are willing to pay for it and leave their names.”

Long Er couldn't help smiling, this blind girl, I knew she was interesting, and she was exactly what he thought. Being with her is really not boring at all.

"It's not impossible to marry you as a wife." When Long Er said this, Ju Mu'er raised her head with wide eyes in surprise.
