"Mother found it for you, can you be wrong? Come and sit down and listen to mother." The magistrate's wife dragged her son to sit down with a happy smile, "I inquired very clearly, and I have seen the portrait. He is the richest man in the county. , called Li Anqing. There is a daughter who looks very juicy, but she can't speak..."
Before Madam Zhixian finished speaking, the son of Zhixian stood up and shouted: "Mute? Mother, are you crazy? You find me a mute? I have played dumb before, and I can't bark. What's the point?"
"Listen to me first." Madam Zhixian was not annoyed, and motioned her son to sit down.
The magistrate's son sat down with a face of reluctance.
"This mute is not simple, she is the daughter of the richest man here." Madam Zhixian said.
"So what? It's not like I can't find you, the squire's daughter. There are plenty of people with a little money." The magistrate's son snorted.
"Do you know how his family became the richest man?" Madam Zhixian asked mysteriously.
"How would I know?" The county magistrate's son became more and more impatient, "Mother, don't be a fool, just say it's okay?"
"The key to becoming the richest man is this dumb daughter. This dumb is not simple. She knew how to pick pearls when she was a child. You know that this county was only a small fishing village before. It was this dumb who taught those fishermen how to pick pearls after she knew how to pick pearls. Later, the people in this village became rich, and the fishing village gradually developed into the prosperous look you see now." Madam Zhixian said with bright eyes.
"You mean, this dumb man is very good at picking pearls. If you marry her, you will marry a cash cow?" At this time, the magistrate's son understood the meaning behind what his mother said.
"Yes, she is the best pearl hunter among the pearl hunters. It is said that she hasn't fished much pearls in recent years, but as long as she goes to pearl hunting, the pearls she brings back must be the best. Those merchants are rushing to buy them, Some people bought gifts and paid tribute to the emperor in the end. The concubines in the harem liked it very much. You said, if you marry such a woman, our family will still have to worry about it in the future? The prosperity is just around the corner. Besides, dumb The advantage of being dumb, at least she won't talk back to you. Even if you scold her or beat her, she won't say a word, isn't that good? When you get married and get tired of playing, you can play other things, and she won't. There's no way to stop it." Madam Zhixian's little triangular eyes were filled with a sinister smile.
"Hey? It's really a great thing to hear what mother said." The county magistrate's son also became excited, "Mother, do you think that dumb water spirit is real? Don't lie to me. If it looks too ugly, I don't want to."
"We'll talk about it when we get married. It's just marrying a cash cow, and I don't really want you to live happily ever after." Mrs. Zhixian patted the back of her son's hand, "Besides, I saw the portrait, and it's really juicy. Mother will not lie to you if she deceives anyone."
"That's okay, that's okay, mother, hurry up and propose marriage. Let me say yes first, if I see it and don't like it, I won't care about her. If there is someone I like in the future, let her make way." Son of magistrate Said.
"Okay, it's not a big deal to give up. Anyway, I can't take a break. This is a cash cow. When she gets married, we will let her pick pearls every day! When we pick good pearls, we will get rich. Your father's official career It will be smoother and smoother. Maybe I can sit in the position of a first-rank official in the future." The magistrate's wife became more and more beautiful the more she thought about it.
