Chapter 85

As soon as Xu Jie returned home, he heard his wife Liang say that her daughter was so anxious.

"She thought she could marry her, and she didn't know whether she wanted it or not." Xu Jie said with a wry smile after hearing this.

"Just don't want it, save this girl from worrying!" Liang relaxed immediately when he heard this.

"What do you know about women?" Xu Jie glared at Liang when he heard this, then walked towards Xu Shiyun's study and saw Xu Shiyun's paintings sitting there angry.

"Daughter?" Xu Jie smiled and said.

"Dad, I don't want to marry that Zhang Manzi. He is a fool. Dad, you are the Minister of Rites. You must have a way, right?" Xu Shiyun saw Xu Jie coming back, immediately went over and hugged Xu Jie's arm and said coquettishly.

"Girl, do you think you can get married if you want to. How many people are thinking about it? Do you think you have an advantage?" Xu Jie said with a smile as he looked at Xu Shiyun.

"If they want to marry, they will marry. I won't marry anyway. Dad, don't deceive me. Zhang Manzi is a fool. Everyone in the capital knows that who wants to marry him?" Xu Shiyun didn't believe what Xu Jie said at all, and quickly spoke.

"Dad lied to you? Don't believe it? Zhang Hao is not really stupid. He can make out the soap you like. Also, now he is Lu Anbo, and he will have his own mansion, Lu Anbo's salary, and thousands of acres of fertile land. He is deeply trusted by the emperor.

His father is the British Duke, and his eldest brother will also be the British Duke in the future. If his eldest brother does not have a son, then the British Duke's title will be his. Do you know? He will marry him and he will be the countess, and he may be the Duke's wife! Do you think you can do it? Do you have such a good life?" Xu Jie said to his daughter with despises.

When Xu Shiyun heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't want to be the Duke's wife. I won't marry a fool. Dad, think of a way, but don't let the emperor choose me!"

"Girl, if you have the will to marry, do you know how good? Lu Anbo's mansion, you have the final say. Zhang Hao is a fool, and he must have listened to you. His parents-in-law are still young, his father-in-law is the British father-in-law, and his mother-in-law's house is also the Duke's mansion.

You said, it would be better to live a life with such a family. Zhang Hao's money is yours. You are the ones in Lu Anbo's house. You think beautifully. If you marry an ordinary family, you will have to do things according to your parents-in-law's face!" Xu Jie continued to say to Xu Shiyun.

Liang, who was standing beside him, was also moved. She didn't think about this before. Now she heard that it was true. If she could marry her, her daughter would be happy, she would not suffer any grievances, and her status was also high.

"Girl, what your father said is really right!" Liang immediately said to Xu Shiyun.

"You lied to me, and everyone outside said that no one would want to marry my daughter. You, you even advised me to marry me, that's true!" Xu Shiyun looked at the two of them angrily and said.

"Damn girl, you are still young, don't believe it. Tomorrow, you will take an ordinary carriage with your mother to go outside the Duke of England's mansion. You can go there to see how many acquaintances you can meet. I don't know who wants to marry me. This is called clinging, and it doesn't sound nice.

But in secret, I went to inquire about the news and Zhang Hao’s hobbies. I was so damn girl, and I said you are smart. I won’t even think about such conditions?

You think about it, you like to draw. If you marry an ordinary family, they will allow you to draw like this every day, but if you marry Zhang Hao, it will be different. He is a fool. He doesn't care about your affairs. You don't want to draw and play the piano. You have the final say in the whole mansion!" Xu Jie was very tempted to Xu Shiyun, hoping that his daughter would agree.

As long as she agrees, she is the Minister of Rites. She is in charge of this matter now, so there will be much greater opportunities. In addition, if she can reach the British Duke's family, she will have a backer, instead of being wary of Yan Song framing himself every day.

Although the civil officials wanted to frame the British Duke in the last battle, they were still unable to succeed. Moreover, this incident made the nobles very dissatisfied. Now they are seeking revenge. At that time, Yan Song can drink a pot of money.

When the incident just started, the princes and nobles had not yet reacted. Now they reacted. Yan Song actually wanted to kill Zhang Rong, and the nobles were quit. Xu Jie had heard some news. Maybe Yan Song was in trouble.

"Yes, girl, you have to think clearly. If you marry someone like this, you won't suffer any loss. Of course, Zhang Hao is a little stupid!" Liang said this and felt a little regretful. It would be great if he wasn't stupid.

"Silly?" Xu Jie turned his head and looked at Liang and said dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't it?" Xu Shiyun asked at Xu Jie.

"You are a fool. Zhang Hao relies on his merits to be the Count. Now he relies on his own ability to make soap and make a lot of money. This morning, the emperor took out another 250,000 taels of silver. Everyone knows that it must have been brought from Zhang Hao. Is this stupid? This is the wise man who is foolish, do you understand?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Shiyun and said,

Xu Shiyun was also stunned. Don’t they all say she is a fool? Why did her father say that he is so good?

"Girl, don't worry about refusing. Tomorrow, follow your mother to the outside of the Duke of England's mansion and hide to see how many people will visit the Duke of England's wife. Then you will know whether it is true or false when your father says it is true! Besides, people don't have to ask you, they are still aloof there!" Xu Jie smiled and patted Xu Shiyun's head and said.

"Me, what's wrong with me? I'm so tall. Most men are not as tall as me. I'm still well-read in poetry and books. I know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting! He doesn't like me, that's because he's blind!" Xu Shiyun was dissatisfied and shouted at Xu Jie.

"Yes, yes, haven't you gotten married yet?" Xu Jie said with a smile.

When Xu Shiyun heard this, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. This father was so annoying.

"Okay, go to eat, it's not so good, it's still beautiful. Is it so easy to become a countess?" Xu Jie said to Xu Shiyun.

Xu Shiyun nodded at this moment, thinking to herself, too, so many girls may not necessarily choose her, right? Soon, Xu Jie and Liang came out.

"Master, do you really want to marry your daughter?" Liang asked in a low voice at Xu Jie.

"I think, but I don't know if it can be done? How many people are thinking about this matter. This afternoon, I don't know how many people are going to inquire about Zhang Hao's birth date. Madam, you have to inquire too. If it is together, it is the best. I will also arrange it.

However, it is difficult. Yan Song also has granddaughters, Lu Ben also has girls in the other Shangshu family. Our daughters really have no advantages. No one of the girls from those wealthy families is bad!" Xu Jie said to Liang.

"This is the same, that's true. I'll go and inquire tomorrow!" Liang said when he heard this.

"In addition, don't look down on Zhang Hao. He is not a fool, at least, not the kind of fool you have ever seen. This kid is capable!" Xu Jie continued to remind Liang and said,

When Liang heard this, he nodded. Since the master said so, it means that Zhang Hao is still capable.

The next morning, Zhang Hao went back to the training brother. After the training, he went to Zhang Li's courtyard for dinner.

"Uncle Second, you are so popular now. Many people are asking about your birth date!" Ding Yu said to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Ah? Why? Do you want to tell me fortune?" Zhang Hao looked at Ding Yu in surprise and asked.

"Boy, who else cares about you and helps you tell fortunes? It's a blind date. You have to secretly calculate that it's not a match. Everyone knows that the emperor chooses a wife for you. They all want to get together in advance to see if it's a match!" Zhang Li scolded Zhang Hao.

"Oh, then I'm very popular?" Zhang Hao said proudly at Zhang Li.

"Boy!" Zhang Li smiled and scolded Zhang Hao, and admitted that Zhang Hao's words were indeed very popular. Of course, they were not as popular as themselves. However, when he was still very young, his parents got engaged to him, so he decided to Ding Yu.

"Okay, then I have to pick it carefully, but I have spent money! No, I want to tell the emperor that I want to pick two more!" Zhang Hao said happily.

When Zhang Li heard this, he immediately looked at Zhang Hao: "Spend money?"

"The emperor said that it costs money to do this. I asked for 50,000 taels of silver!" Zhang Hao said and then ate.

"Ah?" Ding Yu was surprised. He just said ah, and was stopped by Zhang Li. He knew about Zhang Hao's soap workshop.

He also knew about his father's intentions. Now that he heard that the emperor had taken 50,000 taels of silver from him, he knew what was going on. Ding Yu looked at Zhang Li in confusion.

"It's just that I need to spend money. So many girls need to register. Can you do it without spending money?" Zhang Li said to Zhang Hao. Ding Yu didn't understand what Zhang Li meant at all. Doing such a thing still requires money?

"Well, it's just that I spend a lot of money, but my mother is not willing to find a village girl for me. Forget it, I'll spend it if I spend it!" Zhang Hao said helplessly.

"Well, it's time to flower!" Zhang Li nodded to Zhang Hao and said,

After dinner, Zhang Hao went directly to the palace.

Zhang Hao's mother, Xu, also went to Zhang Li's yard. She originally wanted to ask Zhang Hao whose daughter Zhang Hao liked. There were more than 20 families here to ask about Zhang Hao's situation. Of course Xu was happy. She didn't expect that Zhang Hao was so popular.

After Zhang Hao arrived at the palace, he saw Jiajing listening to the memorial, so he walked over and said, "Your Majesty, I think something is wrong. I have spent so much money. Can you choose two more?"

When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Hao in confusion. Why did this suddenly come out of the question?
