Chapter 69 Governor's Requirements

Lin Wan'er nodded, and said, "She wishes I could marry an official! Only then can my two older brothers follow suit."

……

Zhao Linger was speechless.

"2000 taels is 2000 taels. As long as you marry Zhou You, you will only live your life in the future, regardless of your mother."

"But where do we have 2000 taels now!"

Zhao Linger thought about it, and she had 1000 taels. However, what they needed was not only 2000 taels. In addition to the dowry, there were also weddings, furniture, and houses. It was estimated that with her mother's personality, they would need at least another 1000 taels.

Instead of being stretched, it is better to make money quickly!
Zhao Linger said: "This matter can't be rushed. You delay it first, and I will think about whether there is a way to make money. Instead of fighting against your mother, it's better to impress her. Let her believe that as long as you can marry Zhou You, she can also marry Zhou You in the future. Follow and enjoy."

Lin Wan'er curled her lips and said, "I'd rather not have this mother!"

Seeing Su Yining and Zhao Linger come back, Li Heng, who was squatting at the door, immediately stood up.

"Li Heng? Why are you here?" Zhao Ling'er saw her and hurried forward to ask.

"You go to the governor's house to have a look! Ruoxi and I went to set up a stall today, but she was taken away!"

"what?"

Su Yi Ning said: "I'll go and have a look."

"I'll go too!" Li Heng followed him into the carriage.

Zhao Ling'er returned to the house, anxious.

She knew that this matter would not pass so easily, and that was fine, the window paper would always be torn.

Seeing Master Wang, Su Yining and Li Heng immediately knelt down.

"Su Yi Ning, I handed over my daughter to you, look at you, what have you done?"

Governor Wang pointed at Su Yining angrily.

Su Yi Ning knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "I'm sorry Governor, it's really because Ruoxi and I have our own interests and cannot be married."

"nonsense!"

The governor knew that his daughter insisted on marrying someone else, but Su Yining also fell in love with someone else, which made him feel guilty and angry.

"Governor, since the matter has come to this point, I think we should find an amicable solution and try to make both parties..."

"Stop talking! My daughter is in charge! I said that if I don't let her marry him, she can't marry him!" The governor pointed at Li Heng.

"Li Heng, you are so courageous! You have no orders from your parents or words from a matchmaker! Do you think you are married if you bring my daughter home? Impossible! Not only are you not a husband and wife, but I also want to treat her Your crime! Come on! Take him to the prison and give him seventy punishments first!"

"Father!" Wang Ruoxi broke out from the back room, crying and shouting: "Father, my daughter knows that you are doing it for my own good, but have you ever thought that if you force me to marry a man I don't love, it won't hurt me?" ?”

"At a young age, what do you mean by love or not? Love can be cultivated. Your mother and I have never even met each other before we got married. Haven't we been together for a lifetime!"

"But Li Heng and I, we really love each other, why can't father help us? Does father care about money more than me?"

Governor Wang glanced at Wang Ruoxi, slapped her, sighed, sat down on the stool, and said: "I have raised your daughter for nothing all these years! Whether you are poor or poor has nothing to do with me! You Let's go! From now on, if you have him without me, if you don't want to marry him, don't recognize me as your father anymore. You can go."

"Master..." Mrs. Wang cried and supported Governor Wang.

"You go." The governor waved at Wang Ruoxi.

"Father!"

Li Heng pulled Wang Ruoxi to stand up.

Wang Ruoxi cried bitterly.

Su Yining said: "Governor Wang, I know that there is still a gap between Li Heng and your ideal son-in-law, but Li Heng is by no means content to be mediocre, you can give him some time, and he will definitely prove to you that if Ruoxi married He was the right choice."

The governor looked at Li Heng and said, "Li Heng, kneel down."

Li Heng hurriedly knelt down.

The governor said: "Let me ask you, are you willing to be responsible to Ruoxi?"

"I am willing." Li Heng replied firmly.

"Well, if you pass the exam next year, I will marry my daughter to you. If you fail the exam, Ruoxi will make peace with you. Do you have any objections?"

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I have no objection."

"Let's go, I want to be quiet."

Su Yining left with Li Heng and Wang Ruoxi.

When Su Yi Ning returned home, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly asked: "How is it? Have you seen Ruoxi?"

Su Yining then recounted what happened just now.

Hey, is it so important to get fame?

The next day, Zhao Linger copied down the poems and songs she wrote silently yesterday and gave a copy to Li Heng.

Wang Ruoxi was very happy to see her, and said: "I heard from my father that there was a poet who locked himself at home and wrote 75 policy topics. Later, he made a small collection of these topics and answers and gave them to his friends. In the imperial examination, he was first and his friend was second. If we can also find this small collection, then the hope of the two of them passing the exam will be even greater!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ling'er felt that if she could get this small collection, it would definitely help Su Yining.

Zhao Linger was thinking, how about going to the bookstore to inquire about it.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any books on policy theory here?"

The shopkeeper took out a pile and piled them on the table.

Zhao Ling'er checked them all, but they were all wrong.

This clue is too slim, is it fabricated by someone?

Zhao Linger went home and asked Su Yining: "Where is the biggest library in your place?"

"Of course it is in the capital. I heard that the emperor ordered the ministers to build a Spring and Autumn Building. The upper and lower ten floors are all books from all dynasties."

"Oh." Zhao Linger was a little disappointed, if only there was Baidu.

Su Yi Ning took the poems and songs written by Zhao Ling'er and asked, "Did you write these?"

Zhao Linger shook her head and said, "I didn't write it."

Su Yi Ning asked: "Who wrote that?"

"Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Li Qingzhao, Su Shi..."

"Strange, I haven't heard of any of them."

"Have you heard of the Four Great Masterpieces?"

"The Four Great Masterpieces?" Su Yining asked in confusion.

"Yes!" Zhao Linger suddenly thought of a good idea.

Still have to find Zhou You first.

Seeing that it was already dark, if the old lady bumped into me again at night, she would blame me again.Zhao Linger thought, forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

Zhou You has been very distressed since he came out of Lin Wan'er's house.

The dowry price increased from 50 taels to 2000 taels!
If her mother doesn't want Wan'er to marry me at all, no matter how much money I earn, I won't be able to meet her requirements.

What exactly should I do?
Do you keep working hard to make money or...

He shook his head, it was impossible for him to give up Lin Wan'er.

He can only continue to work hard to make money.

But 2000 taels!
It's still 1000 taels short!

I don't know when I will earn 1000 taels of silver.

Zhao Linger!
It would have been nice if she hadn't married, and she would have brought me to make a fortune together, but now, she has no shortage of money to spend, so she definitely won't think about getting rich anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhou You let out a long sigh. Tomorrow, I'd better ask other inns if they want shopkeepers. I'll try it out.
