six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 104 Intersection
"It's a good saying to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself." Along with the applause, a man's voice came into the room.

Both Su Liu were taken aback, and turned their heads, only to see a middle-aged man with a beard and wearing a long robe walking in.

"Father." Cao Mingzhu stood up and asked hastily, "Could it be that the ring is over?"

Her voice was a little anxious, even flustered, and she bit her magnificent red lips lightly.

When the man saw it, pity rose in his heart, and he said softly: "Zhu Er, don't worry, the ring suddenly collapsed, I'm afraid I won't be able to compete tonight."

"Collapsed?" Cao Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, but her whole body relaxed, and she was even a little happy.

The man nodded. Seeing her relieved look, he couldn't help feeling even more guilty.

The person who came was Cao Kui, the patriarch of the Cao family. He was wearing a dark green robe with a white jade belt around his waist.But such a person has nothing to do with the family behind him.

Cao Kui looked at Su Liu, sized her up with a pair of eyes that were exactly like Cao Mingzhu, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Who is this girl?"

"Father, this is Su Liu, my daughter's friend." Cao Mingzhu hurriedly said, well, this is a friend.

"It's the girl who said that the customer is everything?" Cao Kui raised his eyebrows, obviously knowing about Bazhentang.

"Su Liu met Patriarch Cao." Su Liu saluted Cao Kui lightly.

Cao Kui raised his hand and asked, "I heard what you said just now. I never thought that you would be so decisive and cruel at such a young age."

These words seem to be blaming, but there is no tone of blame, Su Liu is not afraid, looking at him and said: "Su Liu only knows that when it is time to be ruthless, you must be ruthless, and Patriarch Cao is willing to sacrifice his only daughter, just for that The so-called family?"

Cao Mingzhu lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

The beauty was crying, not to mention the man, even Su Liu felt pity in his heart, and he became even more impolite when speaking, saying: "Let's not talk about it, let's take the arena tonight as an example, if the arena didn't collapse, the old man with the white beard If he really wins the battle, Patriarch Cao will regard him as Dongchuang's best son-in-law? That old man can be Patriarch Cao's father. If Patriarch Cao betrothed Ruhua's daughter to such a bad old man, he wouldn't be afraid of resentment. "

She speaks bluntly, does not beat around the bush, and is not afraid of offending others. When she thinks of Cao Mingzhu's situation, she feels somewhat similar to herself, and her words are a little offensive.

Cao Mingzhu tugged at her sleeve, Su Liu came back to his senses, and then realized that he was a bit rushed, he uttered, and said: "Su Liu is from a farming family and doesn't understand etiquette. I hope Patriarch Cao will not be surprised." After a pause, he continued: "But now that the arena has collapsed, it's God's will. Patriarch Cao still needs to think carefully. Don't waste Miss Cao's life."

"Daddy, Su Liu didn't do it on purpose." Cao Mingzhu said hastily, "Don't blame her, my daughter and she are very close."

Cao Kui looked at Su Liu intently, suddenly laughed, and said, "You girl is really interesting, sit down and talk."

Cao Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Su Liu to sit down.

"Thinking that I, Cao Kui, earned millions of dollars, but only had Mingzhu as a daughter, how could I want her to suffer? I thought in my heart that if I marry the magistrate, I might as well find a son-in-law by myself, which would be better than being a concubine, but I didn't expect that the person who came would be That's it..." Cao Kui sighed, looked at his daughter apologetically, and said, "It was because I didn't think carefully enough that I almost made a big mistake, Pearl, do you blame Daddy?"

"Father, my daughter doesn't blame you, I just hate that my daughter is not a man, so I can't share my father's worries." Cao Mingzhu said with tears in her eyelashes, choked up.

"I've heard what you girl said, and it's true. I got into a dead end." Cao Kui looked at Su Liu again and said, "I only thought that everything would be fine as long as I recruited a son-in-law, but I never thought about me, Zhuer." Like it or not. What you said is also true, death is like a lamp being extinguished, and it will be the same when buried a hundred years later. How do you know if you have any children or not? "

Seeing him admitting his mistake like this, Su Liu didn't know what to say.

"It's just that the people don't fight with the officials. The magistrate of the county is a county magistrate after all. I'm just a businessman. How can I fight him?" Cao Kui sighed and said, "My Cao family's water transportation is mainly in Changping County, and I don't know how many snowflakes are worshiped every year." Yin, the magistrate of Tang County still thinks about my Zhu'er, it's really deceiving."

Cao Kui slammed the table next to him hard, his eyes lit up with anger.

Su Liu silently pursed her lips and said, "Patriarch Cao, who is not flattering to flatter? What you don't lack is money, what you lack is contacts. If you find a safe backer, what else can he do to you?"

"It's easy to say." Cao Kui snorted, and said, "Our Cao family has only been in Changping for only two years. Although the magistrate of Tang County is only a county magistrate, it's not that he has no connections. It's just that I want to get involved, but I haven't gotten involved yet." Above, then..."

Su Liuming is just a child younger than his own daughter, but Cao Kui still told her his scruples, always feeling that the girl in front of him is small, but she has ideas.

Su Liu also understands the meaning of what he said, and knows that in this era, imperial power is supreme, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are at the bottom. Some people, who have lost tens of millions of wealth, also want to find an official position so that they can leave their business status, that's how it is .

The Cao family is so rich, so why doesn't the county magistrate want it?Naturally, he held it tightly, which would give him a chance to get in touch with other adults.

"Even so, Patriarch Cao shouldn't bet on Miss Cao's marriage." Su Liu complained.

"This is also a helpless way." Cao Kui smiled wryly.

Su Liu saw how guilty he was looking at Cao Mingzhu, and knew that he really loved Cao Mingzhu, and was a little envious in her heart. This is his biological father, not like that scumbag Su Changsheng.

"But since the arena has collapsed, it's God's will. Don't worry, Mingzhu. It's because Dad didn't think carefully. Even if Dad leaves the Cao family, he will not wrong you." Cao Kui held his daughter's hand and said: "Liu Yatou said Yes, they eat my clothes and wear my flowers, why should we look at their faces? It’s amazing that our father and daughter left this family and went to another country.”

"Father..." Cao Mingzhu was moved to tears.

"You guys hit it off, so be stubborn, I'll take care of some things." Cao Kui stood up and said with a smile, "Pearl, treat me well."

"Ok."

Su Liu sighed, this Cao Kui also really loves his daughter, thought for a while and asked: "This ring is open, although it collapsed, I don't know how Patriarch Cao will deal with this matter?"

Cao Kui frowned.

"The collapse of the ring means that it is God's will. After calculating, it is not suitable for Miss Cao's family to get married within this year, otherwise the married person will either die or be injured." Su Liu looked at Cao Kui lightly and said.

Cao Kui was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right, it's God's will, let's talk about it in two years."

Cao Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Su Liu with gratitude.

Su Liu said again: "Patriarch Cao, I have some friends in the garden of your mansion. Among them is a son, the fifth son of the prefect. I hope Patriarch Cao will send someone careful to take care of him."

Cao Kui was startled, and looked at Su Liu with some astonishment in his eyes: "Master Zhifu's son?"

Su Liu smiled and nodded, Cao Kui restrained his excitement, cupped his hands to Su Liu and said: "Miss Su is so kind, Cao Kui remembered it, since the Fifth Young Master came to our house, how can I neglect this old man, I'll go and ask for it. "

Since Cao Kui was able to make such a big business, how could Su Liu know that she intends to connect him?How could he not be better than the magistrate's son when he got on board with the magistrate's son?So, nothing but gratitude is a surprise.

Su Liu avoided it and said, "I just fell in love with Miss Cao's family."

Cao Kui couldn't bear it, and repeatedly asked Cao Mingzhu to accompany Su Liu, while he hurried out.

There were only two girls left in the room, Cao Mingzhu stepped forward and grabbed Su Liu's hand, and said sincerely: "Today, I am really thankful to Sister Su."

"Miss Cao, I just don't want to see the ugly faces of those individuals. To tell you the truth, I broke up with my family for the same reason as Miss." Su Liu smiled wryly.

Cao Mingzhu was a little surprised, and said: "What are you talking about, miss, since I call you younger sister, wouldn't my younger sister want to call me older sister?"

"Sister Cao." Su Liu was stunned for a while before smiling happily.

Cao Mingzhu couldn't help being overjoyed, and pulled her to sit down again. After what happened just now, her affection became even stronger, and she asked, "You said you broke up with your family, what's going on?"

Su Liu had nothing to shame, and she really fell in love with her, so she told her about herself, Cao Mingzhu sighed, and took her hand and said, "I'm a motherless, you have no father." , we are really hard-working people, no wonder we can make friends with you."

Su Liu chuckled and said, "This may be fate."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the distance suddenly drew closer.

As the night deepened, Cao Mingzhu still wanted to keep Su Liu to live in the Cao Mansion, but Su Liu refused in every possible way, and there was also a message from Ning Guang saying that it was time to return, so Cao Mingzhu reluctantly sent Su Liu out, and said Agreed to see you the next day.

After leaving Cao's mansion, Su Liu saw that Song Xiao couldn't stop looking at her, she was a little guilty, coughed, and called: "Fifth Lord..."

Song Xiao snorted, and said: "Su Liu, you've grown quite a bit, and in just a short while, you sold the young master."

Su Liu felt guilty after all, and flattered her: "I, I also can't bear to see a beauty fall into the hands of a bad old man, and I also feel sorry for that Patriarch Cao's love for daughters." She also knew that she was reckless, so she said softly: "Today It was me who was reckless, you, just look at Patriarch Cao's love for his daughter, so just give it a go."

Song Xiao snorted, but before he opened his mouth, Ning Guang said in an orderly manner: "The Song family has long wanted to make a living in water transportation, but now it's just a matter of going with the flow, why do you want to buy and sell it?" explain."

Song Xiao was startled, and stared blankly at Ning Guang. The Song family really wanted to make a living, and they also thought about taking Cao Kui's path. After all, he was the boss of Changping Water Transport, but he and Cao Kui didn't talk much about each other. , Ning Guang actually saw it.

Song Xiao's heart trembled, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't speak. If anyone said that Ning Guang was just a mountain hunter, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

Ning Guang ignored him, just gave him a cold look, and pulled Su Liu away.

Wu Gang looked at their backs and stepped forward: "Fifth Young Master."

Song Xiao waved his hand and said, "Third brother, haven't you found out the identity of this person?" Who is this Ning Guang, and what's the purpose of hiding in Da'ao Village?
