Mi Fang held her head high and said stubbornly: "Brother, our Mi family is a merchant, and the master is from a famous family. With his status, it is not a loss for my little sister to marry him. Do you want to make my little sister feel wronged?"
"As my little sister, and with the status of our Mi family, there are only two possibilities for you to marry your little sister to someone else."
"First, find someone from a lower-ranking family. The problem is, you don't look down on such a person and won't agree. Second, find someone from a truly famous family. But in such a family, people don't look down on the younger sister, so they can't. Look down on the Mi family."
"When my little sister gets married, she can only marry her as a second wife, or marry a bad old man."
"We are businessmen, and many people just look down upon us. Even though they are greedy for our money, they still look down on us from the bottom of their hearts."
Mi Fang's eyes were stubborn and she said: "My Lord recognizes and respects the Mi family. What's wrong with my little sister marrying the Lord? They say it's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Even the phoenix tail here of my Lord is far away." Extraordinary chicken head, this is for my little sister’s consideration.”
Mi Zhu scratched his head and calmed down.
He sat down and thought about it.
After a long while, Mi Zhu sighed: "That's all, you have said this, what else can I say? Your decision is not wrong. Now the Mi family is in an embarrassing situation after all, and they need a new backer, and Lu Xuan is good .I agree to my little sister’s marriage.”
Mi Fang's chubby face showed a bright smile and said: "Since eldest brother agrees, let's make arrangements."
Mi Zhu stood up and said, "I'm going to see my little sister."
He stood up and walked toward the backyard.
Not long after, Mi Zhu came to a courtyard.
A young woman, wearing a long skirt, was sitting in the pavilion, looking down at the account books. Her appearance is very cold, her expression is focused, and her big black eyes are full of wisdom, giving people a cold and stern feeling.
This woman is clearly Mi Huan.
She is the apple of the Mi family's eye.
Mi Huan's skin is very white, with a crystal luster like mutton fat and white jade. The oval face is thin, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the body is graceful and graceful. If you add one point, you are too fat, if you lose one point, you are too thin. It is an extremely rare beauty.
At home, Mi Huan also met many people who came to propose marriage, but Mi Zhu rejected them all.
The pearl of the Mi family will not marry a vulgar person.
While Mi Huan was busy, Mi Zhu came over, sat down opposite Mi Huan, and said with a smile, "Little sister."
Mi Huan didn't even raise his head and said, "Brother, wait a moment, I will calculate this month's income."
The voice is cold.
Like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.
Mi Zhu shook his head and smiled, and reminded: "I told you that you don't need to take care of the business affairs at home, just leave it to your second brother. You are a woman, what you need to learn is chess, calligraphy and painting, and what you need to know is embroidery. Hong. You are busy doing business, and you will have no use for it in the future."
When Mi Huan heard Mi Zhu's words, he stopped calculating the accounts.
She raised her head, with a serious expression on her delicate and graceful face, and said slowly: "Brother, I completely disagree with your point of view."
"First, the second brother is in charge of the family's business these days. The monthly income is decreasing, but the expenses are increasing significantly. If this continues, even if the Mi family has money, it will sooner or later come to nothing."
"If I don't keep an eye on it, many people will take advantage of it. How can I leave it to my second brother?"
"Secondly, piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting are only for cultivating sentiments. You only need to understand them a little bit. There is no need to go into details. As for embroidery, the same principle applies. On the contrary, it is a matter of business and cannot be ignored."
"why?"
"Because when you get married, you have to manage everything in your husband's family and take care of the family's finances."
"If you don't understand business at all, you will be easily deceived, and you will have nothing to do. Even if there is a dowry, even if your husband's family is rich, they will run out of money sooner or later, so you must make money in a wise way to ensure the running of the family."
"The romance is only temporary."
"Peerless beauty will eventually pass away."
"However, the methods of managing the family business will not change with the passage of time. On the contrary, they will become more and more skillful. I don't want to be a vassal. I would rather be someone who my husband's family can't live without."
Mi Huan's eyes were bright and he said, "As long as I can manage the family business, make money properly, and know how to deal with interpersonal relationships, there will be no problems. This is my opinion."
Mi Zhu was stunned for a while after hearing this.
This sister of his is a bit arrogant and unconventional. Instead of being a good lady, we are willing to deal with these cold account books.
Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "At such a young age, there are a lot of crooked ways."
Mi Huan smiled sweetly and said, "Is what I said wrong? When my sister-in-law was young, she was a famous beauty in Xuzhou. Because she was not good at handling housework and could not manage business, she has been ignored by her elder brother."
"You girl..."
Mi Zhu was immediately speechless.
He was a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said, "I'm here today to talk about your marriage."
Mi Huan gouged out Mi Zhu and said: "Brother, the person I want to marry must be a hero. I won't marry an ordinary person, and I don't want to wrong myself. I would rather be a hero's concubine than a mortal wife, because I am poor and humble. Husband and wife will be sad for all things, and they will fly away when disaster strikes. I don't want this. What I need is that you are like a rock, and my concubine is like a willow. The rock will never fall, and the willow will be as tough as silk."
She held her head high and looked determined.
Mi Huan has been exposed to a lot of business matters in the Mi family since he was a child. He has seen too much intrigue and all kinds of people. She is young, has a more mature mind, and has her own judgment and planning.
Mi's cheeks twitched.
Little sister, this is really a headache.
It's full of nonsense and extremely tough, which makes people very helpless.
Well, it would be better to marry earlier.
Mi Zhu said: "The one my eldest brother has chosen for you this time is Lu Xuan from the Lu family in Yangzhou. He is the son of Lu Kang. He is about 20 years old and has great literary talent. Now, he has taken over as the prefect of Lujiang, and Lu Xuan has brewed Feixian wine. He also led troops to defeat Yuan Shu, both civil and military. The Lu family is a truly famous and prominent family, and I will not wrong you. The only drawback is that Lu Xuan has already married a wife, so you can only be a concubine."
After hearing this, Mi Huan pondered for a while, then laughed dumbly and said, "Eldest brother has agreed, so I have no objection. It's useless to think that I have an objection. In short, I am willing to marry Lu Xuan."
Mi Zhu nodded and said: "Since you agree, the eldest brother will arrange for someone to prepare the dowry. When the time comes, your second brother will send you to Lujiang County."
"Thank you, brother."
Mi Huan nodded in reply.
Seeing Mi Huan's easy and direct answers, Mi Zhu always felt unreal. This sister of his has always been very opinionated. She is neither a Xiaojiabiyu nor a person without opinions.
Mi Zhu didn't say anything more, nodded and said: "You should be busy, I still have to go to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion."
"Brother, walk slowly."
Mi Huan smiled and nodded.
She watched Mi Zhu leave, the smile on her face disappeared, and she murmured: "Lu Xuan, I know you. But I, Mi Huan, still have the final say in my own marriage. I will go to Lujiang Shu County first to see who you are. What kind of person."
Mi Huan's bright eyes turned and she had a plan.
She quickly finished handling the account books in her hands, tidied them up, left a letter, and quietly left the Mi family with her maid, disguised as a man. She could go out at any time, but this time she left and never came back.
Anyway, I left a letter telling my eldest brother that he would go to Lujiang first and meet his second brother in Shu County.
