Make a lot of money!I got rich in the year of famine

Chapter 172 It’s really hard to grasp the scale

Shen Qing turned her head and avoided his hand, "Why do you have to be obedient? Whose words should you listen to? My parents are gone, so I have to listen to you. Like other women, I obey my father at home and my husband when I get married. , after marrying you, I will take care of my husband and raise my children, and live in the backyard for the rest of my life. This is what you want, right?"

Obviously, the two wanted to talk about different things.

This question stopped Huo Yunzhou for a moment.

After a woman marries her husband, shouldn’t she take care of her husband and raise her children, shouldn’t listen to her husband’s orders, shouldn’t she enjoy peace and tranquility at home, but should also work hard outside like men?
At first, he fell in love with the girl in front of him because of her independence and self-reliance. He thought that such a woman was the perfect choice to be the mistress of the house.

But if you listen to her words, that's not the case at all.

"What do you think?" He decided to listen to her opinion.

"Hmm...I don't know, but she is definitely not a housewife like my mother, nor is she like my aunt, who spends all day wandering around the back house and fighting with my uncle's concubines. This life is not short. "It's not long, but it's just a few decades. I was ignorant when I was young, and I was powerless when I was old. Excluding the time for sleeping, how much do you think is left?"

Huo Yunzhou became more and more confused as he listened, "So? What kind of life do you want to live?"

Shen Qing still shook his head, "I don't know, at least for now, I want to be the richest man in Qingquan Town, or even the entire Jingyang Mansion. I have money, land, and people at my disposal. You know this."

Huo Yunzhou sighed helplessly, "No matter how rich a businessman is, you are still a businessman. Even if you are as rich as the enemy, you are still a businessman. There is only so much a woman can do in this world. Moreover, the north is unstable and there are riots in the south. The emperor intends to punish his relatives. If When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that the court will be wiped out with blood. Countless aristocratic families will fall. The Su family in Jingyang Mansion will be the first to bear the brunt. It is so chaotic outside, do you still want to break in?"

Shen Qing playfully stuck out his tongue at him, "Don't look down on women. Who said women are limited in what they can do? How will you know if you don't try? Oh, it's normal that you can't understand my thoughts anyway, and I don't want your understanding. , if you want to marry, have children, and live a life like ordinary people, just do it and don’t take me into consideration. Maybe I will end up alone in my life, and that’s okay. It’s not necessary to get married and have children. Everyone has Everyone’s fault.”

Huo Yunzhou must not be able to understand her idea. Not only is it incomprehensible, but it is also incredible.

"If you only make money all your life and become a wealthy businessman, won't you regret it when you are all alone when you grow old?"

Shen Qing smiled bitterly, "Maybe! Who knows!" Who knows what will happen in the future, or maybe she won't live to grow old at all.

There are too many uncertainties in the future. She is a person with only a soul. Maybe one day her soul will fly away, leaving only this body, which will soon turn into mud and merge into nature.

Huo Yunzhou felt that he needed to digest it. He originally thought that she was self-reliant, but now it seemed that she had a big heart, so big that he was not sure whether he could grasp it.

well!It is so difficult to get a wife.

Shen Qing saw his expression of lowering his head in contemplation and laughed and said: "Don't worry about it. With your conditions, it is not difficult to find a daughter-in-law who can help your children and live a stable life. How about I help you introduce her?"

She may have some affection for Huo Yunzhou, but definitely not much.

She didn't want to admit it, but she was really cold-hearted and didn't have many emotions. In this world, she probably only had the deepest feelings for her sister Shen Hui.

Governor Huo Yun let out a breath, looked at her brisk smile, and suddenly felt unhappy, and said: "No introduction is needed, I think you are very good, although your... idea is a bit difficult for me to accept now, but give me some time. , I can figure it out.”

Shen Qing waved his hand quickly, "You don't have to force it. We can get along like friends, isn't it good?"

"No, I want to marry you!" His eyes were hot and he stared at her without moving.

There seemed to be a blazing sun in the young man's eyes, so hot and sincere that it made Shen Qing's indifferent heart thump!It jumped violently. "Why do you say it so bluntly, brother, I'm only thirteen this year!" She can hardly keep her old face off. Based on her age in two lifetimes, she is considered an old cow eating young grass, right?
Huo Yunzhou knew that she was shy and couldn't help laughing, "I'll be fourteen soon. Two years is too slow. How about we get engaged first and you can think about it later?" He still wanted to catch her, always feeling that he had an aboveboard identity. To feel at ease.

"Huh?" After saying so much, she went back to the original point?Moreover, they had not discussed this topic before. He said he would wait for her for two or three years. Why did it change now?

But Huo Yunzhou obviously knows strategy better, "It doesn't matter if you get engaged first. I'll give you two or three years before we talk about getting married. If you think I'm not good or have other ideas, then How do you feel about canceling the engagement?"

Shen Qing tilted his head and thought: But why does it have to be engaged?

That's what she thought and asked.

Huo Yunzhou lowered his head and suddenly fell silent.

Shen Qing looked at him, going through all the possibilities in his mind, and then picked out the most likely reason.

"Someone wants to marry you, but you don't want to, so you have to find an excuse. It's best if you already have a fiancée at home, right?"

Huo Yunzhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise.

Shen Qing nodded. It seemed that she was right. Not only was there someone who wanted to marry him, but he was also someone he couldn't refuse. It could only be his boss. If he didn't refuse well, it would easily affect his career.

This scale is indeed difficult to grasp.

"Does it mean that if the marriage is arranged at home, the problem will be solved? If you need such an excuse, then let's get engaged."

Huo Yunzhou's expression suddenly changed, "Aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation?"

Shen Qing smiled indifferently: "Do you think I care?"

"This..." Happiness came so quickly that Huo Yunzhou couldn't believe it.

But Shen Qing was obviously much calmer than him, "Then we'll do it as soon as possible. There won't be many people to notify. My uncle and second uncle's side will have just three banquets. Anyway, I just have the manpower in the family and I'll just tell them to do it." "

Huo Yunzhou laughed silly for a while, then suddenly became serious, "I will take care of these things, you don't have to worry about it. There is also Zhu Laoer's matter, which you haven't made clear yet. Since you have an engagement with me, it is your matter." It’s my business, of course.”

"Uh..." It was a bit of a mistake. Before, her reputation was not justified and her words were not smooth. She could confidently say that you don't need to interfere with my affairs.

But with an engagement, how could she lose her right to assert herself?

Finally, she confessed honestly.

After Huo Yunzhou listened to the whole process, he almost jumped up several times. He finally suppressed his temper and sat there with his hands on his knees, gasping for air.
