My Entire Family's Gone Haywire Novel! - Chapter 240

240 She’s not worthy of you

“Niannian is a good girl, but Rui ‘er, she’s not worthy of you!” In the past two months, Mrs. Cheng had also seen through Cheng Rui’s thoughts and said bluntly.

Rui ‘er, you’re the eldest son of the family and the one with the most hope of becoming successful in the Cheng family. Your father has placed all his hopes on you. You will never allow yourself to marry a merchant’s daughter. Mrs. Cheng explained.

“Second uncle Gu is also participating in the imperial examination.” Cheng Rui frowned.

“Rui ‘er, you’re a scholar yourself, so you know it’s not easy to get a good rank. Your father has done his research. After he got married, he no longer touched any books and was addicted to gambling and even drinking.” Mrs. Cheng shook her head with a smile and said, ” when it comes to wine, drinking a little is good for the mood, but drinking too much is bad for the body. A person who has been drinking for more than ten years, do you expect him to be able to get a good position?”

Cheng Rui frowned and did not say anything.

“Alright, since you only admire him now, you should stop thinking about him. Marriage, parents “words, matchmaker’s agreement. You clearly know that your father doesn’t allow it, so why do you have to fall in love with her? Come on, let’s go back!” Mrs. Cheng sighed, patted Cheng Rui, and got into the carriage first.

Cheng Rui followed behind him silently.

After getting into the carriage, Cheng Rui said, ” mother, niannian’s facial and wash clothes will definitely be popular in the entire great Zhou in the future. Niannian is not an ordinary woman. The last time I went to her house, I observed her small workshop. I’ve never seen those things before. Even though I’ve seen them and heard her explanation, I can’t make them myself.”

“You’re a scholar, of course you don’t know the craftsmanship of a craftsman,” Madam Cheng said with a smile. Let’s not think about her prescription. The Gu family is still very good people. We work together to earn money, and everyone is good to each other! If you show your true feelings to your father, he might not allow us to have any contact with their family. So, you should know what to do!”

Cheng Rui was silent for a while, but he still did not give up. “What if I take her in after I get married?”

Mrs. Cheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Rui in surprise.

“Mother, although I haven’t had much contact with her in the past two months, I still like niannian very much. With her looks and her ability to earn money, she’s qualified to be my concubine. I won’t let her suffer in the future.” Cheng Rui explained.

“As for taking in concubines, as long as their family is willing, your father will definitely be willing as well. However, Rui ‘er, in my opinion, their family will never let their daughter be a concubine. You should give up on this idea!” Madam Cheng advised.

Cheng Rui shook his head and smiled,”I will.” Mother, give niannian two years and she would be able to earn the money of most of the rich families in the great Zhou. Two years later, if I get the first rank, grandfather will definitely arrange a good marriage for me. He would first marry a wife, then take in a concubine. The wife will help me in my career, and the concubines will provide me with money. Mother, in the future you will not have to work hard to do business.”

Madam Cheng smiled with relief. Rui ‘er is really the best gift from the heavens. To have such a filial son like Rui’ er, it’s worth it even if I have to deal with a merchant woman every day. Mother believes that one day my son will be able to bring me into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.”

Madam Cheng was the concubine’s daughter of the capital’s Minister of Revenue. When she had married Lord Cheng, she had also married in place of her elder sister.

The Cheng family and the sun family had an engagement, and when Lord Cheng became a Jinshi, he came to ask for a marriage.

All these years, Madam Cheng had been following master Cheng abroad. Although she could not be the head of the family without her mother-in-law, her life was different from what she had dreamed of before she was married.
