Magistrate Wang looked at Liu Zijin, staring into Liu Zijin's eyes without letting go for a moment.
People's words can deceive, their actions can deceive, and even their emotions can deceive, but only a pair of eyes will always reveal some emotions that are more or less difficult to control.
Liu Zijin said so much, his eyes were firm and unwavering.
Magistrate Wang was already a little convinced.
After a while, he looked away and said: "I can't help but feel moved by everything you said. So, you stay here first and wait for the results to be released."
"You are right. People are not just grass and trees, but they can be ruthless. In the past few days, you can meet and get to know my daughter. If you still haven't changed your mind after the results are released, then you can get married to my daughter on July 7th.
I will do my best to help you with your scientific examination."
Magistrate Wang has made a decision. Liu Zijin has good looks and a smart mind. His children will also be good in the future. He is a good choice both emotionally and rationally.
He wants to find a son-in-law, but not just anyone wants him.
Many people just want this and that just because they have some culture, as if becoming a son-in-law is the honor of the Wang family. They don't look at people with their nostrils before they even have a glance at their horoscopes, let alone after they are really prosperous.
Liu Zijin is ambitious and has deep thoughts, but fortunately he is honest enough, at least he is sincere now.
The Wang family may not be able to keep Liu Zijin, a wild horse, but as long as his daughter gives birth to a son and a half in the past few years, it will be enough.
In the future, when Liu Zijin comes into his own, the worst that will happen is that the couple will divorce and he will marry someone else.
Magistrate Wang thought about it a lot and finally made a decision.
"good."
Liu Zijin nodded respectfully and stayed in the palace.
Let the servants settle down Liu Zijin.
Magistrate Wang went to see his daughter Wang Huilan.
Wang Huilan saluted respectfully: "Daddy is well."
Magistrate Wang looked at Wang Huilan gently and said, "Huilan, dad has found a good man for you."
Wang Huilan showed a bitter look: "Dad..."
County Magistrate Wang took Wang Huilan's chubby hand and patted it gently and said: "My good daughter, you believe in daddy, he will not harm you. As a woman, you have to get married no matter what, and you have to give birth to a child no matter what.
Son and half a daughter, otherwise, who will take care of you when your father passes away?"
"You will meet tomorrow. We will treat others sincerely. After we get married, we will give birth to a son and a half daughter. In the future, there will be successors in the family. You will always have someone to rely on, and dad will be relieved."
Magistrate Wang looked at Wang Huilan gently, with loving eyes and a hint of guilt.
"Don't worry, dad, my daughter knows what to do."
Wang Huilan has a gentle temperament, perhaps because she has experienced too many strange eyes, but she also has a strong heart and likes to read and write.
She has a longing for the relationship between men and women, but she also knows that men in the world care about appearance, and if she doesn't, she will always be rejected.
The most important thing in life is to rely on oneself.
Magistrate Wang looked a little distressed and sighed: "My son has worked hard."
Because there is only one woman, all expectations and responsibilities are placed on her. At the age when love should have just begun, she seems to have seen through the world of mortals.
Wang Huilan smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Dad, my daughter is not working hard."
As the only daughter in the family, she is actually the son of the Wang family.
Regardless of whether she is beautiful or ugly, it is her responsibility to find a son-in-law.
As long as the candidate is chosen by Dad and has passed the test, she will do what she wants to do.
"Have a good rest. It's getting late. Dad is back."
Magistrate Wang patted Wang Huilan's hand and gave instructions before going out.
Wang Huilan nodded.
It's getting late, and Wang Huilan has to rest.
The maid helped her to sleep, smiled sweetly at Wang Huilan and said, "Miss, I'm in the outer room. There's porridge on the stove. If you're hungry in the middle of the night, just call me."
Wang Huilan nodded.
She has a fat body and gets hungry easily. She tries to eat as little as possible every time, but she is still very hungry. When she is hungry, her stomach feels like there are insects crawling around, and she feels very uncomfortable.
She is not a beauty, she is just an ordinary woman, so she is even more uglier when she is thick and fat.
In the middle of the night, Wang Huilan got up, drank two bowls of porridge, washed herself before going back to sleep.
This way you won't feel any pain when you wake up the next morning.
After getting up in the morning and washing up, thinking that she was going to meet Liu Zijin today, Wang Huilan asked her maid to dress her up.
After breakfast, I went to see Liu Zijin.
The courtyard where Liu Zijin lived was very simple and elegant, and so were the others. He, who was thin, and she, who was thick, felt shy when they met Wang Huilan.
"Hello, I am Wang Huilan."
Wang Huilan lowered her eyes and said nervously.
Liu Zijin was good-looking and well-educated. Marrying herself would be a injustice to him.
In fact, Wang Huilan doesn't mind who she marries. She is looking for a son-in-law, and the child must bear Wang's surname.
But Magistrate Wang wanted to find a scholar, because scholars are always smarter.
"Hello, I am Liu Zijin. From now on, you can call me Zijin and I will call you Huilan."
Liu Zijin was already prepared, so when he saw Wang Huilan, he was not surprised and felt calm.
The maid had already retreated in a wise manner.
Being Wang Huilan's maid is not a brainless person. A maid who is more beautiful than a young lady wants to humiliate her in front of her uncle. What kind of intention does she have?
In the palace, the discipline of servants is very good.
Liu Zijin knew it well.
With a gentle look on his face, he naturally took Wang Huilan's hand and walked into the house. As he walked, he asked, "What do you usually like to do?"
Wang Huilan replied in a low voice: "I like reading and writing."
"Where's the painting?"
Liu Zijin asked.
"I don't look good at painting and I don't want to learn."
Wang Huilan replied calmly that Liu Zijin was approachable, which made her feel good about him, and she was not so repelled by him.
Thinking of painting, Wang Huilan frowned slightly. She didn't like painting because the teacher who taught her painting laughed at her.
But she would not tell Liu Zijin these things.
The two of them arrived at the study. Liu Zijin pressed the rice paper and said, "Let me teach you how to paint. I only know some simple things. Simple things are easy to learn."
Wang Huilan wanted to refuse, but she held back, knowing that this was an opportunity for the two of them to get along.
Maybe Liu Zijin will become her husband in a few days. In order to avoid embarrassment during the wedding, it would be better to get to know each other now.
Liu Zijin was knowledgeable and good at calligraphy. He was not as good at painting as others, but his skills were not bad. He could teach Wang Huilan simply enough.
Writing, drawing, and reading are all very relaxing ways to get along with people.
Liu Zijin only treated Wang Huilan as an ordinary person, which made Wang Huilan feel very comfortable.
The maid also reported the movement to Magistrate Wang.
County Magistrate Wang was happy to hear this, so he released the rankings on the fourth day of July. When his servants came back and said that Liu Zijin ranked second, he asked his servants to find Liu Zijin.
Liu Zijin put down his pen and said gently to Wang Huilan: "I'll go over first and you write first."
