After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

Zhao Susu still had a polite smile on her face, but she knew that after Cao Shuqing said this, he would tell her his real purpose.

"No need to apologize, it's all in the past!"

"Aunt Zhao is right. Aunt Zhao, I came here today for another matter!"

Cao Shuqing chose his words carefully: "My father misunderstood me earlier and said something about a child bride. That was very presumptuous."

Zhao Susu didn't like to hear those things that made her angry and hateful, but those things were done by Cao the Butcher, and she couldn't vent her anger on a child.

"Forget it, don't mention the past anymore!"

Cao Shuqing stood up, bowed respectfully, bent low, and bowed solemnly, saying sincerely: "Yufan and I are from the same village, and I liked her before. I want to get engaged to Yufan, and I will marry her when I pass the imperial examination!"

Zhao Susu couldn't help but frowned: "Do you know how heavy the rain is?"

"I know, she's five and I'm ten! We can arrange a baby marriage, it shouldn't be a problem!"

Seeing that Zhao Susu's face was not very good, he continued, "Aunt Zhao, I can now be admitted to Ziguang Academy, can enter the child prodigy class, can pass the county examination and become a student at the age of ten, and can also get good results in the academy examination in August and become a scholar. By then, I will be one of the youngest scholars! I will also become the youngest juren and jinshi!"

His confident look made Zhao Susu couldn't help but look at him.

Of course she had heard of Ziguang Academy. She was not the ignorant Zhao Susu three years ago.

Those who can enter the prodigy class of Ziguang Academy are indeed very amazing.

However, Ayu is still young, and she doesn't have an instinctive liking for people with the surname Cao.

"I didn't think of arranging a marriage for A Yu so early!" Zhao Susu sighed softly, "Scholar Cao, you have a promising future. You really don't need to think about marriage so early. When you pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, you can even marry a daughter of an official. Why do you have to narrow your own path?"

"Aunt Zhao, to be honest!" Cao Shuqing was a little embarrassed, "The reason why I want to arrange my marriage so early is because I need some money for books and tuition fees for my studies."

Zhao Susu: “…”

"You mean, I'm funding your studies now, and you're getting engaged to Ayu in return?"

Cao Shuqing said quickly, "It's just the tuition for the next few months. When I pass the examination in August and become a scholar, I will have silver and rice from the government, and then I won't need money."

Zhao Susu was speechless. In fact, if it were someone else, Zhao Susu would not mind donating. However, he was the son of Cao the Butcher. Thinking of the harm Cao the Butcher had done to her and the shadow he had left on her, she did not want to be a good person.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cao Shuqing immediately made a promise: "I will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future, Aunt Zhao, let Yufan get engaged to me, and she will become the wife of an official. You don't want Yufan to marry a businessman when she grows up, do you?"

Zhao Susu felt that the scene was a little weird.

Was she really facing a ten-year-old child?

A child, talking to her seriously about her daughter's marriage and analyzing the pros and cons with her?

She smiled and shook her head: "Mr. Cao, I believe what you said that you will pass the imperial examination in the future. However, Ah Yu is still young. Unless she is willing, I don't want to arrange a marriage for her so early! You should find someone else! You have a bright future and you are elegant and handsome. I believe many people are willing to marry you. You even have room for choice!"

Shouldn't an important matter like engagement be discussed by adults? Is it appropriate for a child like him to talk about it so seriously?

Cao Shuqing frowned slightly.

He had already shown his sincerity, but Zhao Susu refused? She was really short-sighted.

Doesn't she know that with her ability, the husband she can find for Meng Yufan in the future will at most be a businessman?

How low is the merchant society? How can it be compared with him who is at the top of the officialdom?

Although he wanted to get engaged to Meng Yufan now, it was indeed because he saw that Zhao Susu's tailor shop was making a lot of money, which would allow him to study with peace of mind, but he also wanted to continue the love he had with Meng Yufan in his previous life.

This Zhao Susu is really confused.

"Aunt Zhao, Yufan is still young, you should consider her future. We are from the same village, we know each other well. I will treat her well in the future, you should think about it carefully. Or, you can ask Yufan, what if she is willing?"

Zhao Susu became a little impatient. She admitted that the child in front of her, at such a young age, not only got admitted to Ziguang Academy after his father passed away, but was also able to discuss his own marriage like an adult. This was indeed something that other children of the same age could not achieve.

It is no exaggeration to say that the future is promising.

But Ayu is only five years old.

How scheming is this child who is so mature and steady at the age of ten? How cunning is he?

It’s not that she was reluctant to give up the funding, but she didn’t want her A Yu to face such a person.

She frowned: "I can make the decision about Ayu's affairs. Don't mention it again. I won't arrange a marriage for her so early!"

Cao Shuqing was extremely unhappy, and his tone was a little stiff: "Aunt Zhao, you should ask Yufan first! We have met before, she should be willing!"

"Bah, you are shameless. You want to get a wife at such a young age. How shameless!" Before Zhao Susu could get angry, a childish voice sounded from outside the door, with childish disgust in the tone.

Cao Shuqing hurriedly said: "Yufan, I am your brother Qing!"

Meng Yu rolled her eyes. This reborn dog never forgot to test whether she was also reborn. She spit on the ground, put her hands on her hips, and pouted: "You are so shameless, I am not like you. Mother, I don't want to get engaged, I want to stay with you forever!"

"Okay, okay, Ayu, if you say no, I definitely won't order it. We'll talk about it when you grow up." Then he said, "Ayu, don't spit. That's not good!"

Meng Yu smiled sweetly: "That's what Zhong Erniang and Aunt Wang did when they quarreled. I learned it from them!"

Zhao Susu laughed: "Don't learn this again in the future."

She turned to look at Cao Shuqing: "Scholar Cao, I believe you have a bright future and will become a high-ranking official in the future. Look at my Yufan, she only learns the movements of country folk. She is not worthy of you, you should find someone else!"

Meng Yu was even more direct, and stuffed the snack into his hand: "Take it away quickly, and don't come here again, or I'll spit on you!"

Cao Shuqing's face was gloomy. He bowed and left without saying a word.

Is Zhao Susu, who is not dead, so difficult to deal with?

Is Yufan, who has no memory of his previous life, so difficult to deal with? He even learned such a crude quarreling trick of country women as spitting.

He was a little irritable.

I was thinking that since I knew everything about him, it should go smoothly.

If he had no other choice, would he choose Meng Yufan?

Don’t know how to praise!

His tuition is due in a month, and he also needs to buy books. In addition, he has to go to the county town to take the college entrance examination in August, which requires travel expenses and money for food and accommodation, but he hasn't found any money for these yet!
