A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous
Chapter 224 The words do not convey the meaning
He pressed his heart unconsciously, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he restrained his smile, looked into the distance, and tried hard to calm his mind.
This sudden silence made Wen Meijiu feel confused. Was it because his greed was despised?
This is clearly what Lao Li said just now, and she was just repeating it. If you are willing to give it, then give it. If you don’t want to give it, just say it clearly. What is her intention in keeping silent?
Feeling uneasy, Wen Meijiu admitted that he was greedy and still wanted that prosperous shop. He wanted to wait and see what he would say, so he did not ask again immediately.
After a while, Prince Wang adjusted his mood, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand something, so he deliberately slowed down his speech and said with a cold look:
“That’s okay.
But although a prosperous shop is good, your family has no business strategy. If you do well, you may make a little money to support your family, but if you do not, you may lose all your money.
Or if it is rented out to others, the income will only be 20 to 30 taels a year, which is not worth much use.
I think the girl has some clever ideas. If she is willing to work for your mansion, if she can make some achievements during this period, she can earn more than that prosperous shop."
When Wen Meijiu heard what he said, alarm bells started ringing in her heart. She had just come out of his house and couldn't go in again.
Also, why did he bring anything into the house for no reason? Could it be that he was still thinking about her pistol?
Well, that's how it should be.
An annual income of twenty or thirty taels may not be a big deal for him, but for Wen Meijiu's family, it is not a small amount and is enough for them to live and work in peace and contentment.
If she could come up with some good business ideas and have her own prosperous shop, the cost of trial and error would be much lower.
With a private chuckle, Wen Meijiu rejected him seriously.
"You are a noble young master, so you naturally don't know the sufferings of the world. Let alone twenty or thirty taels, even if you earn five taels a year, it is enough for our family to have enough food and clothing.
The relationships in this mansion are complicated, and as a commoner, I dare not pursue such pursuits. It is better for me to stay with my parents and fulfill my filial duties.
As the saying goes, "When your parents are still alive, you won't travel far away." I really like to be with my family, even if we have to eat coarse food. "
Having guessed Prince Wang's intention, Wen Meijiu rejected his kindness in a roundabout way.
Prince Wang was not annoyed after hearing this. He was silent for a while, as if he had thought of something, and said quietly:
“What a noble identity, it’s all fake.
If you are dead, what good is it even if you have a mountain of gold and silver?"
Hearing this, Prince Wang felt a little depressed, as if this was related to his current situation.
He was being chased all the way, fleeing alone, hiding from place to place. Even though he was rich and powerful, he had to hide here with her and pretend to be stupid.
By making a comparison like this, Wen Meijiu is indeed better off than him because he has his family by his side and villagers following him.
"When you feel sad, you can think of your family, and your heart will feel much warmer."
Although this young master coveted her pistol and his motives were somewhat impure, his words still touched Wen Meijiu's heart.
I have experienced those days of being alone, loneliness, despair, and warm wine.
Now that she has a family, everything is different.
She has a lamp of her own and she always wants to light it for others.
"I have no family."
He spoke in a decisive tone, even with a hint of indignation. His already deep pupils became even darker at this moment, which was a little scary.
This was something Wen Meijiu had not expected. No wonder he had such a cold and hard temperament. It turned out he was an orphan.
She felt a little awkward for a moment and began to regret having said those inappropriate words just now, touching other people's pain points without realizing it.
She knew best that the more a person lacked something, the more he or she would be afraid of others mentioning it, as this would be like rubbing salt into someone else's wounds.
Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the expression underneath. Wen Meijiu thought again and again, and finally came up with a reason to comfort him.
"How old are you, sir?"
Although Wen Meijiu knew that Prince Wang was older than him, he was still not sure how much older he was.
"Twenty-one."
He seemed to be still immersed in his own emotions and couldn't extricate himself. His answers were simple and there was no unnecessary doubt.
"It's a good age to get married and have children. As long as you are sincere, you won't have to worry about not having a family."
This world is not the 23rd century. There is neither monogamy nor restrictions on your fertility.
As long as you have money and can afford it, no one will care even if you marry thirty or fifty wives and have a hundred children.
Wen Meijiu thought her statement was great. It helped his dull mind open up a new line of thought, leading directly to hope and the future.
His thoughts were immediately brought back to reality by this strange remark. He looked at Wen Meijiu with some uncertainty and stared at her for a long time.
"Am I wrong?"
Feeling uncomfortable all over by his stare, Wen Meijiu spread his hands and asked him back with confidence, his expression calm, but he was panicking inside.
"Easier said than done?"
After examining the warm wine for a long time, Prince Wang finally retracted his gaze and looked at the place under his feet.
"What's so difficult about this? Don't you have a house and money?
You are not bad looking, and there must be many maids in your family. If you don’t like her, just go out and look around. There will always be a suitable one, right?"
No matter how excited Wen Meijiu was, Prince Wang was still dead silent. What was not a problem for her seemed to be a difficult problem for him.
"Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. Do you have someone you like?"
I don’t know if Young Master Wang was annoyed by her noise and deliberately changed the subject, bringing the matter back to Wen Meijiu.
Wen Meijiu smiled. Because of her status in her previous life, she had never had a boyfriend until she was twenty-five or twenty-six. How could she know what kind of man would suit her taste?
It was the same in this life. When she arrived here, there was chaos and war, and she had a family to support, so she had never thought about this problem.
"I'm still young."
This is an excuse for warming the wine, and it is also true.
In her opinion, what's the point of doing something when you're fifteen and haven't even graduated from junior high school?
"You are already of marriageable age, how can you say you are still young?"
Wen Meijiu was a maid bought by Prince Wang. Knowing her date of birth, he naturally knew her age.
Wen Meijiu was embarrassed by Prince Wang's words. Her cheeks flushed with dissatisfaction. She held on and said confidently:
"I have my family with me, so I don't need to get married."
He seemed to see through her embarrassment. Not only did he not sympathize with her, but he also said sharply:
"There's no reason for a woman not to get married. Do you want to stay at home as an old maid?"
"I'll just be an old maid, what can anyone do to me?"
Wen Meijiu became anxious and decided not to talk to him any more. This was her own decision and it didn't affect anyone else.
"Our dynasty follows the old laws of previous dynasties. Men aged 15 and women aged 13 and above are allowed to marry. If anyone disobeys, the tax will be doubled.
Your father is a scholar, and he should be familiar with these etiquette and laws. He is currently fleeing from famine, and once he settles down, he must arrange a marriage for you."
How abominable. It's just a chat, is it necessary for him to take it so seriously?
Before Wen Meijiu was mentally prepared, he started to pester her with some bullshit etiquette, trying to tie her down in the vicious circle of feudal ethics.
