The woman stood tall and graceful on the stage, her every frown and smile were just right, but there was a hint of helplessness and sadness hidden deep in her beautiful eyes, which made people even more heartbroken.
Yes, this is Cao Mingzhu, the beauty Su Liu met at Bazhentang during the day.
Cao Mingzhu blessed everyone, then covered her veil again, returned to her position on the stage and sat upright. As if she noticed Su Liu's gaze, she looked over with a pair of beautiful eyes from a distance, was stunned for a moment, and slowly
Jaw head.
Su Liu smiled back and said to Ning Guang: "What a pity for such a beauty."
"What's the pity?" Song Xiao asked, tilting his head.
"According to her family background, it shouldn't be difficult to choose a well-matched husband. I just don't know why she chose this method. If an old man comes and wins this arena match, wouldn't it be a loss?
"Su Liu said very disapprovingly.
"Perhaps the head of the Cao family has also thought about it."
"No matter how hard you think about it, you won't be so unreliable. Putting your own destiny in this unknown arena is irresponsible to yourself. This will last a lifetime." Su Liu sneered lightly and said: "What if?
If an old man comes, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
"You're right." Ning Guang suddenly spoke and pursed his lips on the stage.
Su Liu and others looked over and immediately twitched their lips.
There were two people standing on the stage, one was extremely rugged, the other was in white clothes with white hair and a white beard. They looked very immortal, but judging from his age, he was at least sixty or seventy. This old man was older than the head of the Cao family.
Older.
Su Liu looked at Cao Mingzhu. She was also stunned, her eyes full of anxiety. Su Liu could almost see her biting her red lips, and couldn't help but sympathize.
Seemingly unable to watch any longer, Cao Mingzhu got up and went into the house, never coming out again.
"Let's go, there's nothing good to see." Su Liu said without interest.
Naturally, Ning Guang had no objection, but Song Xiao wanted to ask Wu Gang to come up, but it was obvious that Su Liu had to leave, so there was nothing he could do.
"Girl, my young lady is here to invite you." After a few people took a few steps, a crisp voice rang out from behind them.
Su Liu turned around, but it was the girl who had called her during the day. She must have been Cao Mingzhu's personal maid.
Su Liu and Ning Guang looked at each other and said, "I'm not familiar with your lady, so..."
"Girl, my young lady just wants to invite you to talk." The maid said with a hint of pleading in her tone.
Su Liu pursed her lips, as if hesitating.
"If you have nothing to do, I might as well go have some tea." Ning Guang said he had an idea for her.
Su Liu thought for a moment and then agreed. The maid was overjoyed and hurriedly led them into Cao's house.
It is said that the Cao Mansion occupies a very large area. If it were not for the etiquette and the financial resources of the Cao family, it would probably be built into a magnificent place. However, even so, Su Liu was secretly speechless along the way.
Because of the wedding ceremony, the Cao Mansion was brightly lit, and the maids, servants, and ladies who came and went were all guarding their posts. Although it was night, there were lights in the pavilions and pavilions in the garden, and they could be seen very clearly.
"These young masters..." Arriving at the second gate, the maid looked at Song Xiao and the others with a troubled expression.
"When I came here, there was a pavilion next to the rockery and the scenery was not bad." Song Xiao opened his fan and said with a smile.
Su Liu clicked her tongue in disdain. It was already late autumn, and she even grabbed a fan to pretend to be cool. She felt cold.
The maid quickly called a girl over to lead Song Xiao and the others over. Before leaving, Ning Guang frowned and winked at Su Liu.
Su Liu nodded slightly, feeling warm in her heart. This person was worried about her.
Following the maid into a room, Su Liu took a quick look and was secretly speechless. Sure enough, his family was rich.
The room is lit with glazed palace lanterns, illuminating the whole room as bright as day. All the furnishings are extremely luxurious. The tables and chairs are all made of fine pear wood. There is a white jade screen with hundreds of flowers in the middle of the room. As for the flower-glazed lanterns placed on both sides.
, Su Liu couldn’t tell clearly what quality it was, but with the Cao family’s family background, it couldn’t be a low-quality fake.
There was a beauty couch set up by the window, and Cao Mingzhu sat on it leaning forward, slightly pursed her lips, and unconsciously played with the chess pieces on it with her fingers, her face looking gloomy.
"Miss, the girl is here." The maid stepped forward and said softly.
Cao Mingzhu came back to her senses and smiled at Su Liu. She didn't get up, but said lazily: "You're here, come and sit."
Su Liu raised his eyebrows as if he was talking to someone he had known for a long time.
Su Liu sat opposite her, glanced at the chessboard on the table, and said, "I wonder why Miss Cao called Su Liu here?"
"Your name is Su Liu." Cao Mingzhu answered the question and smiled again: "I don't know why I called you here, I just wanted to find someone to talk to."
When Su Liu heard this, he sighed and said, "If Miss Cao doesn't want to, why don't you explain it to the head of the Cao family?"
Cao Mingzhu was stunned, as if she didn't expect Su Liu to express the bitterness in her heart, and said with a wry smile, "You can see that I don't want to."
Su Liu didn't say a word, and Cao Mingzhu didn't mind either. He played with a chess piece and said quietly: "Everyone sees that I was born in a golden nest and that I am rich and noble, but they don't know the pain inside. I only hate that I am not a man.
Even if I have all kinds of talents, I can't always be good at dancing and relieve my father's worries."
"Although I don't want to compete in a martial arts competition, it is better than marrying the county magistrate as a concubine." Before Su Liu could answer, Cao Mingzhu said in a loud voice, "You don't know, the county magistrate has taken a liking to me."
, and the patriarch of the Cao family, for the benefit of the Cao family... Although she is promoted as an equal wife, to put it bluntly, she is just a concubine. The county lady is a ruthless person. If I go, it will not matter how long I can live.
Just a matter." Cao Mingzhu laughed at herself: "The Cao family relies on the financial resources of my third wife, Cao family. Now, you still want to rely on me to win over the county magistrate so that I can find a scholar for the Cao family man. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Cao Mingzhu pursed her red lips and held the chess piece in her hand tightly, her tone seemed to be unwilling and a little sarcastic.
Su Liu was stunned. It turned out that there was such a thing. After thinking about it, he asked: "Does your father also agree?"
"My father loves me, how can I respond? What is hateful is that my father only has a daughter and no son. What the Cao family wants is the wealth of my third wife, and they are already looking for an heir to inherit it in my father's name.
." As Cao Mingzhu spoke, there was a bit of coldness in her eyes, and she said: "They have made a good plan, saying that my father will not be able to die without someone in the future, and he will find an heir in the clan to adopt me and marry me.
County Grand Master, I don’t know whose property belongs to my third wife in the future.”
Su Liu Moran, as expected, there are fights everywhere, and this big family is full of traps.
"It is really helpless to compete in martial arts to find a bride. My father said that I can find someone with better martial arts skills who can protect me better. If I can give birth to a son and a half, there won't be no one to inherit the family property in the future. If it is true... I deserve it.
That's it." At the end of Cao Mingzhu's words, she actually felt a little resigned to her fate.
"Is family so important?" Su Liu suddenly asked.
Cao Mingzhu was very surprised and said: "Family is a person's root and backing, so it is important."
Su Liu snorted and said: "That's a good thing, right? You said that the Cao family actually relies on the financial resources of your third family. Since they depend on your faces, why should they take charge of your family's affairs?"
?”
Cao Mingzhu was stunned, and Su Liu said again: "The one who has money is the uncle. I have never heard that this poor person who relies on charity from others lives more arrogantly than the one who gives charity. Why? Eat what I have and use me."
If you wear mine, I still have to look at your face? Why?"
"My father has no son..." Cao Mingzhu was stunned.
In this era, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, if you don't have a son, you must be a dwarf who can't hold his head up. Therefore, even if the Cao family is bullied, the Cao family and his daughter will have no choice but to bow their heads and admit their grievances.
"So what if I don't have a son? There is still you." Su Liu sneered and sneered: "Family is so important, and entering the ancestral grave after death is so important? I am using your money to eat, and I want to sell you to get rich."
Family, what are you doing here? Can't you live without family? Death is like a lamp going out, whether you are hiding in your ancestor's grave or not, it's all a ghost."
Su Liu was actually a little angry. The behavior of the head of the Cao family was, to put it bluntly, weak. Yes, the family is indeed important, but if you rely on you to make a living and sell your family, what are you doing? What can I do for you?
backing.
In fact, the Cao family's father and daughter don't have to live in such a miserable life. The head of the Cao family is also trapped by tradition. If she were her, she would never let anyone bully her. If she were the head of the Cao family, she would just scatter all her money.
Why don't you give alms to other tribesmen?
The one who has the money is the uncle. If the head of the Cao family stops spending a penny on other members of the Cao family, she won't believe it. Then it's strange that the bullshit patriarch doesn't kneel down and lick his shoes and beg him. Be more ruthless and break away from Cao family.
If the family starts a new clan, with the financial resources and brains of the Cao family, they can recruit a happy son-in-law in the future and give birth to a son and a half. How can they not pass on the family business?
Damn it, the one who gave the money was aggrieved by the one who took the money. What kind of truth is this?
"Can it still be like this?" Cao Mingzhu looked at Su Liu with wide eyes. It was obvious that Su Liu's idea scared her and was even a little deviant.
"Why can't it be done? Believe it or not, you didn't earn a cent and said you wanted to break away from the Cao family. They immediately worshiped you like a Bodhisattva. How dare you care about whether you have sons or your marriage?" Su Liu
sneer.
"Well, there are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. Isn't that too cruel?" Cao Mingzhu asked, frowning.
"Cruel?" Su Liu rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Cao, if you are kind to the enemy, you are cruel to yourself. Are you willing to sacrifice your life to give alms to a Bodhisattva, or are you ruthless and cruel to the enemy?"
Cao Mingzhu was shaken all over, as if someone had hit her in the head, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
"To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself." Suddenly there was a burst of applause outside the door, and a man's voice came over.
Why does someone leave a review for Maomu? Where is the reward? Ahhhhhhh
