The other party came to seek advice in the name of seeking advice, but after seeing Xie Xiu and asking the prepared questions, he deliberately talked about the interesting story of his younger sister who loved poetry, calligraphy and painting.
Finally, she said, "If I could find a husband like Mr. Xie, I would be very happy."
Xie Xiu said with a fake smile: "A husband like me, whose biological mother died tragically, whose stepmother is vicious, and whose biological father was tattooed and exiled, is probably hard to find in this world.
It’s better to change it so as not to delay the flowering period of my daughter’s house.
As for husbands who can write poetry and paint, there are too many in this world. You can find any academy and choose one."
Xie Xiu's words clearly expressed his rejection and also saved the other party's face.
If you are sensible, you should stop while you are ahead and save face.
Unfortunately, this person obviously has no intention of saving face.
He said bluntly, "My younger sister admires Mr. Xie's talent very much and has said that she will not marry anyone but him."
Xie Xiu's face darkened. "I swore that I would only have my wife for my whole life. Are you asking me to break my oath and betray my trust?"
That's a serious statement.
You know, people in the world attach great importance to reputation and integrity. For some people, integrity is even more important than their own lives!
To make someone betray their trust is like creating a mortal enemy for those who value trust and integrity, and the relationship will never end!
This man's expression changed completely. Seeing that Xie Xiu's face turned ashen and he was obviously really angry, how could he dare to continue to pester him?
So he quickly bowed and apologized, asked Xie Xiu not to take it to heart, and left in disgrace.
Unexpectedly, not long after he walked out, he met Tu Jiaojiao holding a mace.
He was stunned at first, then he saw Tu Jiaojiao walking towards him, swinging the mace in her hand vigorously, and said to him with a smile: "I heard that you have a younger sister at home who also likes to dance with maces. You can bring her to visit me in the future and let me spar with her."
The man was so frightened that his face turned green, and he could only laugh dryly: "My sister-in-law must have heard it wrong. My younger sister only likes to play with words and ink, not swords and sticks.
Besides, her family has already arranged a marriage for her, and she will be married soon. I don’t know if she will have the chance to come to the capital in the future.”
Tu Jiaojiao immediately burst into laughter, but said disappointedly, "Really? That's such a pity."
man:"……"
He gave a dry laugh, quickly said goodbye, and then fled as if there was a ghost chasing him.
Tu Jiaojiao curled her lips in disdain: "With such little courage, you dare to come and plot against me? Do you think I'm too easy to talk to, or do you think I can't wield a knife anymore?"
Soon after this man returned, the news that there was a rouge tiger in Xie Xiu's house spread quickly.
The other families who wanted to send women to Xie Xiu immediately became discouraged.
Which delicate girl can withstand the mace?
But there are always those cruel families who don't care about the lives of their girls and just want to marry Xie Xiu, a rich son-in-law.
Xie Ying would not tolerate them. Anyone who dared to come to propose marriage or send a woman would be haunted by nightmares every day.
Dig up some more negative information and spread it.
So, when these people woke up from their nightmares, they learned that the family scandal had spread.
Not only did the whole family get into a tizzy, but even the police came to the door!
Now, everyone was obedient.
However, another even more terrifying conspiracy is quietly brewing.
Time quickly came to the day before the Lantern Festival.
The mine announced that day that employees can choose to take a day off or go to work on the Lantern Festival tomorrow.
There is no pay during holidays, but double pay when working.
So no one wanted to take a holiday. The employees all wanted to earn double wages and hoped that they would be rated as excellent in the future and get a bonus of ten taels of silver.
Time soon came to night.
Because there were no electrical wires or lights, the miners did not have to work at night, and only patrol teams needed to patrol and guard the mines.
The oil lamps they were holding were produced by the glass factory. Their shapes were somewhat similar to the portable kerosene lamps of later generations. However, since kerosene was not available at that time, they still used ordinary lamp oil.
