Yang Xue looked at her angry father, but she was not afraid. On the contrary, she looked at her father with resentment and said: "If my father had agreed to my being with Brother Cao, how could we have these jokes now? Why can't my father give me to Brother Cao?"
a chance?"
Yang Qing replied: "Give him a chance? If he is really capable, there is no need for me to give him a chance. With his ambitious mentality, only a silly girl like you will believe his worthless promise."
Hearing his father scolding his sweetheart, Yang Xue's face became even more unhappy: "Don't allow father to talk about him like that. He is talented. It's obviously his father who is biased against him, so he doesn't want to see his excellence."
"Okay? Then tell me, what's so good about him? You said he's talented, but he failed to pass the examination for three consecutive years. He's like this. How can you tell me, as a father, to spend your whole life?
Bet with him?"
"Brother Cao said that it was because he was unwell during the exam. He will continue to take the exam next year. Then he will definitely prove to you that you were wrong about him."
"What if he fails?"
"It doesn't matter if he fails. He's still young, so just keep taking the exam. Anyway, I believe in him."
"Nonsense." Yang Qing was so angry with her daughter that she almost couldn't breathe.
Seeing this, Yang Ziyan on the side quickly pulled his sister to persuade him: "Silly Xue'er, it is important for a man to obtain fame, but have you ever thought about it, given his conditions, if he fails to get a scholar after four years of examination, what do you think?
How confident is he that he can take the exam again?"
Yang Xue looked at her eldest brother and replied: "Then I can stand behind him to encourage him and give him the confidence to continue."
Yang Ziyan was not angry after listening to his sister's words, but patiently advised: "Yes, yes, you can be his strong backing, comfort him, and give him strength, but the premise is that he must really have that real talent and learning. Not only him
He must have real talent and learning, and he must have a rich family background to continue his studies.”
"I can support him."
Yang Ziyan nodded: "Yes, I almost forgot, my silly sister is the second daughter of the prefect's family, and I can still get the money for him to attend a private school. Then have you ever thought about it, if you really marry him,
How will you spend your days in the future?"
Yang Xue had actually thought about Yang Ziyan's problem, but she thought that she still had her mother's family to back her up, so she didn't care at all.
Yang Ziyan looked at his sister's expression and naturally understood what she was thinking, so he shook his head and replied: "Don't think about it, your parents can rely on you, but in the end you have to rely on yourselves to go far. Just think about it, even if he is
He takes the exam for three to five years, and finally works hard to become a scholar. What happens next? With his ability, how many years does he need to take the exam to become a scholar?"
"Can……"
"I know what you want to say. You can succeed or fail in the exam, and it doesn't matter if you fail. But do you know him? He went to a private school, or he is a scholar. Can he put this aside and go out to make money to support his family? Or do you think
You will say that you don’t care. How will you support him in the future? Rely on your mother’s family? That’s what the eldest brother has to say today. If you insist on not marrying him, if you can’t live in the future, I can help you.
You take him back to the Yang family and raise you, after all you are my biological sister, but he, sorry, I will not raise a useless person with hands and feet."
"Brother, why don't you believe him? Why do you think so badly of him? You never thought that he would come back as the top pick in the end? Then don't you think it's very honorable? A brother-in-law who is the top pick."
"Brother-in-law of the number one scholar? I don't dare to dream. This is not because my father and eldest brother are prejudiced, but because he really can't make us believe it. Okay, this time you just listen to your father and eldest brother and don't go to meet him secretly. Wait.
After a while, you slowly let it go, and my elder brother will find a good one for you. I won’t tell you what will happen in the future, but at least you are the right match now, so you don’t have to endure hardships to get married.”
After Yang Ziyan finished speaking, he gave instructions to the housekeeper: "Mother Wu, take the second young lady back and keep an eye on her."
"Yes, eldest son." Aunt Wu agreed and led Yang Xue out of Mrs. Yang's yard.
Even though she was dissatisfied, she knew that she would not be able to convince her eldest brother and father now. She could only wait and let time prove it.
****
Here, after Tao Qiqi and the others returned from Mrs. Yang's yard, the first thing Tao Qiqi did was to ask Jiang Ye, "Has there been any result about what I asked you to investigate before?"
"I was just going to tell you about this." Jiang Ye replied, and then after everyone sat down in the pavilion, he began to speak slowly:
"Qiqi felt right before. Miss Yang Er just wants to use you. Of course, her purpose is not to get close to me. She wants to use you to get Mr. Yang to agree to marry her to a poor scholar."
After hearing this, Zhao Hu was a little confused: "I don't understand, she likes a poor scholar, how can she achieve her goal by using Qiqi?"
Fang Yu rolled her eyes at Zhao Hu: "You are stupid. She likes a poor scholar. Her father does not agree. After all, it is not right for her to be from a poor family. Now that we are here, she comes to provoke Qiqi, but Qiqi has someone around her.
Me, if she comes to provoke me, or she is attracted by Qiqi, Qiqi can let her be my concubine at most.
She is a dignified daughter of a magistrate, so how can she be laughed at if she becomes a concubine? Either Qiqi despises her or even annoys her. In this way, she thought that her father would do it to prevent his daughter from becoming a concubine, or not to offend her.
Qiqi and Third Brother will finally compromise and marry her to that poor scholar. Marrying a poor scholar will at least mean that you are the main wife and you will have a promising future."
"My Xiaoyu must be the smart one." Tao Qiqi gave Fang Yu a thumbs up without hesitation.
But Zhao Hu still had something unclear, so he asked again: "If you are not in the right family, it is only temporary. If a scholar is talented, it will be a matter of time for him to get ahead. Why should Mr. Yang stop him? What if the scholar becomes the top scorer in high school?
But what a face."
Jiang Ye replied: "That's right. But the problem is that this scholar is not only a poor scholar, but also a poor scholar who has high ambitions but low abilities, and is very ambitious. This is the root of Mr. Yang's objection."
When Tao Qiqi heard this, she couldn't help complaining: "So, this book is probably not taking advantage of Miss Yang Er, right? Become Mr. Yang's son-in-law, and then use this relationship, no matter what happens, you can finally get a job. In this way, the country
As long as I have enough food to eat, I can still get some monthly salary. When I get the chance, I can become a county magistrate again, haha..."
When it comes to the back part, even if Tao Qiqi doesn’t explain it clearly, everyone can understand it.
Jiang Ye didn't expect Tao Qiqi to know the truth directly, so he nodded and replied: "Qiqi is right. It is obvious that this poor scholar wants to take advantage of Miss Yang Er. Master Yang can see it, and so does Mr. Yang."
It can be seen, but Miss Yang Er cannot."
"This is why the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers." Fang Yu agreed.
