Chapter 88: Not Beautiful, But Beautiful Dreams
Xu Chun didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued the previous topic, "In terms of money, our family is not short of it now. However, our family must change its status. Your sister is the hope of our family's change. You two should wake up. You should know what to do and what not to do. "
After Xu Chun finished speaking, his eyes swept over his three children.
Finally, it fell on Xu Ling'er, and then he showed a satisfied look.
Xu Ling'er is Xu Chun's daughter who comes later in life. Since she was born, Xu Chun knew that this daughter could bring him great benefits.
There is no other reason, it's just because Xu Ling'er has been very beautiful since she was a child.
In the entire Xiaowangzhuang, and even in the nearby villages, his daughter is definitely the best one.
As a man, he knew very well what a beautiful woman meant.
If a beautiful girl is used well, the benefit she can bring to the entire family is beyond the reach of an ordinary man.
Therefore, Xu Chun taught his daughter carefully from a young age and hired many of the best teachers he could find for her, even the girl Hong from the building.
This was also his own experience. In bed, women can easily control men. Her daughter learned this, which would be of great help in the future.
Of course it is best if you can have both face and benefits. But if you can only choose one, then benefits are definitely more important.
He did all these things so that one day his daughter could become his ladder to success.
Xu Linger did live up to expectations and grew up exactly as Xu Chun had imagined. Although her appearance was not that of a top beauty that could overwhelm a country, the skills she had learned over the years had indeed helped her to enhance her appearance.
Now when I stand out, people will call me a beautiful lady.
Xu Ling'er is already seventeen years old this year. Logically speaking, it is a bit late for a seventeen-year-old girl to not be engaged.
Many noble ladies from wealthy families had already started looking for men when they were thirteen or fourteen years old.
Look for someone in a year or two, settle down when you are fifteen or sixteen, then prepare for another half a year or a year, and you can get married properly when you are seventeen or eighteen.
Some families can even get married when they are fourteen or fifteen years old. So Xu Linger must get married today, otherwise it will be too late.
In fact, there is a reason why Xu Linger has been delayed until now.
From the very beginning, Xu Chun's target for Xu Ling'er was Shan Li, the eldest son of the General's Mansion.
Shan Li is the eldest son of the eldest son's family. He will definitely inherit the family business of the General's Mansion in the future. If Ling'er can be his concubine, then their family's goal of changing their status will be half achieved.
When Ling'er gives birth to a boy who can inherit the family business, then half of the work will be done.
He knew that in the General's Mansion, as long as the concubine's son was able to make progress, he would not be suppressed by the family, and would even be given a certain degree of support.
As long as he trains his grandson well, when the time is right, it is not impossible for an accident to happen to a legitimate son or daughter. Not everyone can live to a ripe old age.
Most people will have their share of disasters and misfortunes. Who can tell for sure?
By then, the eldest son of the eldest house will only have his grandson as his bloodline, and then the change of their family's status will be accomplished.
When that time really came, he would no longer be a servant who came with the dowry. He would become the grandfather of the heir to the General's Mansion.
At that time, who would mention his past? Who would dare to mention his past? At that time, he could return to his real surname, Tian, and no longer have to follow the master's surname, Xu.
He even thought about where to rebuild the ancestral temple after changing his surname.
However, the Battle of Yicheng three years ago made the General's Mansion seem to be in jeopardy all of a sudden.
The bright future he had planned seemed to turn to ashes in an instant.
Can the General's Mansion, which is despised by the current emperor, really be prosperous? He was not sure in his heart, and he did not dare to gamble. If the General's Mansion could never rise again, then wouldn't his carefully trained daughter be in vain?
He had already started looking for the next suitable mansion, but he didn't expect that at the end of last year, with Shan Li's great victory, the situation changed again.
The General's Mansion seemed to be stable again. Everything was moving in a good direction.
Now, Xu Chun stopped thinking about looking for other families. He didn't know much about other families, and didn't know their attitudes towards illegitimate children. If it was a family where illegitimate children would be exiled and the clan didn't recognize them, then his plan would be useless.
Therefore, he thought about it and decided that the General's Mansion was the most suitable. He knew the masters in the General's Mansion. Among the noble families in the city, they were considered very kind.
Therefore, he started to think about taking over the General’s Mansion.
And this was originally planned. Now it’s just a matter of getting the plan back on track. It won’t be a problem.
Song Qingci, who was lying on the roof, felt disgusted as he listened to the conversation between the toads below.
It's really like a toad wants to marry a frog. It's ugly but very playful.
This Xu Chun is really bold. From his words and combining them with the current situation, Song Qingci easily deduced Xu Chun's unspoken plan.
Oh my god, this General Zhenguo Mansion must have dug up his family’s ancestral grave to make him plot like this.
And Shan Li, a good young man with a successful career, ended up being plotted against by a group of people. It was really disgusting and made him cry with disgust - it was so disgusting.
Song Qingci decided that she must teach these toads a lesson. Otherwise, she would not be able to swallow this breath. What the hell, she is not dead yet, so they just don't take her, the young lady, seriously? !
I want to be Shan Li's concubine, have you asked her? !
Xu Bowen and Xu Zhongwu had heard their father say this more than once, and they understood the meaning of it very well.
Therefore, although they disliked each other and even sometimes hindered each other, they were still very good to this sister.
Especially Xu Zhongwu, he could get angry at anyone, but not at his sister.
Just as his father thought, if their family wants to get out of their current situation, they still have to rely on this sister and future nephew.
Although their family had no shortage of money, they were still considered slaves in the government documents. Therefore, even if they had more money, they could not leave Xiaowangzhuang because they had no proper household registration.
