The universal system is a bit cute

Chapter 288
Akita was in a hurry all the way, and Cui Zhi hadn't arrived at this time, so she just had time to sort out her thoughts.

She had already changed her clothes, and at this moment, she was dressed like a young man.

As long as she didn't meet Qiu Gaoyuan and others face to face, she shouldn't be recognized by them.

Not long after, Cui Zhi was seen walking towards this side.

Behind him were two followers, each holding a gift box.

Come, Akita cheers up.

While drinking tea, she watched Cui Zhi standing outside the gate of Qiu's house with two followers.

Cui Zhi didn't go in right away, but fell into deep thought as he faced the door of Qiu's house.Not long after, he said something softly.

The teahouse is diagonally opposite Qiu's house, separated by a certain distance, even if Qiu Tiantian is not an ordinary person with sensitive ears, it is impossible to hear what Cui Zhi is saying.

But how could she not hear what Cui Zhi was saying after she had learned the art of controlling beasts?
After a while, Cui Zhihui entered Qiu's house, and she would definitely have to follow him to see what happened inside so that she could take timely measures.

Akita heard Cui Zhi whisper: "Why is Miao Miao's family so dilapidated? Her father is a minor official after all. He can't even afford a better house, right?"

He didn't know much about the Qiu family's situation. He only heard Qiu Miaomiao briefly mention that her family's original house was sold to pay off her cousin Qiu Zhanpeng's gambling debts, and now they rented in another place.

Since the Qiu family lost their original property, he didn't have many ideas.

He knew how the Qiu family treated their own daughter. They didn't take good care of their daughter, but used this kind of virtue to their nephew. They were forced to sell the house, and it was their own fault.

Cui Zhi, who knew Qiu's family well, didn't sympathize with Qiu Gaoyuan at all.

But he didn't expect that Qiu Gaoyuan would live in such a place.

He is a man on a salary, and even if he rents a house, it is enough to rent a better house.

Little did he know that this house was rented by Akita for Qiu Gaoyuan's family.

Now her status is very unusual, she is the third young wife of the Zuo Mansion, where does she let them live, can they live there?

Qiu Gaoyuan has now received his salary, and it is said that he can barely afford to rent a better house, but without Akita's permission, how can they move out?
Of course, this is only one aspect of the reason.

The most important thing is that Qiu Gaoyuan still has some thoughts, that is, sell badly.

He didn't have high hopes for Akita's misfortune.

He can see that this daughter has changed, she doesn't miss her family at all, and her heart is too cruel.

The target of his misfortune is more likely to be Zuo Muchen, or someone else from the Zuo family.If you're lucky, you can sell it to Zuo Qingmo.

He didn't care about the impact his misery would have on Akita, no, he just wanted to let people know how cruel Akita was, and how indifferent he was to his biological parents who raised him.

Qiu Gaoyuan is even thinking about whether he should spread some rumors first.

Since I can't meet the people in power of the Zuo family, it is also a way to spread the word through the mouths of ordinary people.

Well, the power of the masses is very strong, and he can use the mouths of the crowd to force the Zuo Mansion to improve the situation of the Qiu family.

When Qiu Gaoyuan was planning how to act, he suddenly heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Soon, the servant led a heroic man in.

Although the house is dilapidated now, there are still two homeless old servants staying here to serve them.

As for the other servants of the Qiu family, who didn't want to live in a place like this?Naturally, they all found a way to leave.

Qiu Gaoyuan stood up, walked to the front door, and looked at the man curiously.

He knew this man, very young, in his early twenties, and a very heroic man.

Qiu Gaoyuan's nerves tensed up immediately, but his expression didn't change much, and he didn't come out to greet him, he just stood there, waiting for the young man to come.

This young man had been to Qiu's house before, and went with Zuo Muchen and Qiu Tiantian. He knew his name was Cui Zhi, and he was Zuo Muchen's most trusted bodyguard.

Did he come here on Akita's orders?

Immediately, Qiu Gaoyuan saw the two followers following Cui Zhi, both holding gift boxes in their hands.

Qiu Gaoyuan's heart felt hot. Akita finally didn't forget him. Did he give him a gift?

What would she give him?
Cui Zhi walked up to Qiu Gaoyuan, bowed to him, and said, "Master Qiu, Cui Zhi is here because he has something to discuss with Master Qiu."

Qiu Gaoyuan greeted him calmly and said, "Guard Cui, please come inside."

When he got inside, Cui Zhi saw the dilapidated walls and furniture, and it was even more difficult for him to understand why Qiu Gaoyuan lived in such a place.

He was too curious, and for a while he relieved his original nervousness a bit.

After the two parties sat down, Cui Zhi couldn't help asking: "I heard from Miao Miao that the original house of the Qiu family was sold, but I didn't expect that Master Qiu lived here. Master Qiu, why don't you live in a better house? Didn’t find the right one? I can look for it for you.”

Qiu Gaoyuan was full of anger and worried that he had nowhere to vent. Hearing this, how could he bear it.

"You said I don't want to live in a better place? It's not all that little bitch Akita who caused her fault. By the way, who did you just talk about? Miaomiao? Is that what you called Miaomiao?"

He belatedly thought of Cui Zhi's name for Qiu Miaomiao, and suddenly felt strange.

Cui Zhi was a little curious about the residence Qiu Gaoyuan chose, but also felt a little desolate, thinking that he was saving money to pay off his nephew's debts.

Because Qiu Zhanpeng may still owe debts that have not yet been repaid.

He even thought that if he had the ability, he might be able to bear part of the debt for Qiu Gaoyuan.

Although he was dissatisfied with Qiu Gaoyuan's attitude towards the four sisters of the Qiu family, no matter what, Qiu Gaoyuan was also Qiu Miaomiao's father, and it was he who raised this girl.

A man who gave his wife life should respect her and ignore past grudges.

But when Qiu Gaoyuan talked about Akita in a very vicious tone, the sympathy and respect in Cui Zhi's heart disappeared all of a sudden.

Qiu Gaoyuan called Akita Tian the little bitch?He really never repents.

After suffering such a big loss from my nephew, without reflecting on my own behavior, I even blamed my daughter.

Who made him homeless?Is it Akita Tin or Akimiao Miao?
Although Cui Zhi was dissatisfied, for Qiu Miaomiao's sake, he held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and said in a calm tone: "Master Qiu, I am here today to propose marriage to Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu, Please allow me to marry Miao Miao."

After that, he ordered his two followers to present the gift box.

He was originally very nervous. It was his first time to propose marriage.

Logically speaking, a matchmaker should be invited to propose marriage, but he couldn't wait any longer and ran over first.

I thought about talking to Qiu Gaoyuan first, and it doesn't hurt to make up these procedures later.

Neither he nor Qiu Miaomiao were people who were too rigid about these etiquettes, so they didn't think too much about it.

Qiu Gaoyuan never expected that Cui Zhi came here for this matter.

He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and said, "What did you say? Mr. Cui, you said you wanted to marry Miaomiao?"

"Yes," Cui Zhi replied very positively, "Master Qiu, you can call me by my name directly, you are welcome."

"No," Qiu Gaoyuan slammed the table, "Cui Huwei, if you're here for this, please come back."

Cui Zhiwan didn't expect to encounter such a hard nail when he came here, and he forgot the speech he had planned before.

He asked in a daze: "Why? Master Qiu, Miao Miao and I are in love with each other. She is willing to marry me, and I also want to marry her very much. I will treat her well."

When Akita Tian heard what Cui Zhi said, he couldn't help but touch his forehead.

She secretly complained in her heart, Cui Zhi, Cui Zhi, aren't you usually a very smart person?Why do you become stupid when it comes to love now?Did you expose your trump card like this?

If it were an ordinary person, Cui Zhi's remarks would naturally be touching.

Everyone can see that he is showing his true feelings now.

As a parent, who doesn't want their children to be happy?When you meet a man who truly loves your daughter and know that this man can bring happiness to your daughter, how can you not be moved?

It's a pity that Qiu Gaoyuan is not an ordinary father, and he will not consider Qiu Miaomiao's happiness.

His first consideration is his own interests.

Since Cui Zhi likes Qiu Miaomiao so much, it's a good time to blackmail her.

Qiu Gaoyuan looked at Cui Zhi, who was anxiously confessing his love, with a sinister and teasing look in his eyes.

He scolded with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense. Guard Cui, I am polite to you because you are my third son-in-law's guard. Don't force me to kick you out."

At this moment, Cui Zhi seemed to have lost his wits, and argued: "I'm not talking nonsense. Mr. Qiu, what I said was from the bottom of my heart. Miao Miao and I really hit it off, we..."

"Shut up," Qiu Gaoyuan interrupted Cui Zhi sternly, "Did you call me Miao Miao? My daughter's maiden name is not something that just any stinky man can call her. Please pay more attention to me in the future."

Cui Zhi murmured: "If you're not happy, I won't call it that now. But Master Qiu, Miao, Miss Qiu Si is really willing to marry me, please help us."

Qiu Gaoyuan sneered and said, "You, a little guard, also want to marry my daughter? Do you know how precious my daughter is? If nothing else, just talk about my third daughter Tiantian, she is the third wife of Zuofu. And you? You are just a servant of Zuofu, if my daughter marries you, wouldn't she become her sister's servant? How can you marry her? You don't even look in the mirror yourself."

This was too much, Cui Zhi was so impatient that his face flushed.

Although he was Zuo Muchen's guard, Zuo Muchen never treated him as a servant.

Not only Zuo Muchen, no one would think so.

How can the guards be compared with the servants in the mansion?
What's more, Cui Zhi is still such a man with personality, besides Zuo Qingmo, who else did he put in his eyes?
Of course, he is convinced by Akita now.

But this kind of service is based on Akita's talent and temperament, as well as her support for his and Akita Miaomiao's feelings, rather than status or anything else.

If anyone else had said this, Cui Zhi would probably have punched him.

Even if you don't fight, it's impossible to give people a good look.

But this person in front of him is different, he is Qiu Miaomiao's father, Cui Zhi has only Ren besides Ren.

Cui Zhi endured it for a long time, and finally managed to hold back his temper, and said: "I am not a servant of Zuofu. Guarding is my official position. It is an official position given to me by the Xueluo clan. Just like Master Qiu, it is also an official position. I am serving the Xueluo Clan. If Lord Qiu doesn’t like me to continue to serve as the Third Young Master’s guard, I can be transferred to another position, or I can quit officialdom and engage in other professions.”

Cui Zhi didn't say this casually, Akita Tian had mentioned this matter implicitly.

He himself had thought about it, and felt that if he married Qiu Miaomiao, it would not be very good for him to be Zuo Muchen's personal bodyguard.

It's better to keep a little distance between him and Zuo Muchen.

After all, Akita and Akimiamiao are sisters, biological sisters.

After hearing Cui Zhi's words, Akita began to seriously consider Cui Zhi's identity.

It turned out that he was not a retainer of the Zuo Mansion, his position was granted by the Xueluo clan, no wonder he has such a temper.

At the same time, she was sighing in her heart that Cui Zhi was very considerate and forbearing for Qiu Miaomiao.

Qiu Miaomiao was very happy to meet such a man who treated her sincerely, and she was sincerely happy for her sister.

Qiu Miaomiao has been living in misfortune since she was born, just like the original owner she was attached to.

Until now, she has finally come to an end. So many years of suffering and torture are finally coming to an end, as long as this so-called father stops interfering.

Akita made up her mind, no matter what, she would get rid of this obstacle for Qiu Miaomiao.

Hearing what Cui Zhi said, Qiu Gaoyuan didn't speak for a while, but looked at Cui Zhi with strange eyes.

Cui Zhi thought he was moved by his persuasion, and looked at him hopefully.

Qiu Tiantian sighed secretly, Qiu Gaoyuan had seen Cui Zhi's determination to marry Qiu Miaomiao, and was looking at this big fat sheep that would be slaughtered by him.

Qiu Gaoyuan looked at it for a while, snorted through his nostrils, and said, "Aren't you a guard? It's up to you, what can you do if you're not a guard? My family Miao Miao wants to enjoy life, not just any man can marry her .She can't suffer with you."

Cui Zhi heard that he was still sarcastic to himself, and it was sarcastic for no reason, finally he couldn't hold back his temper.

I think he has accumulated a lot of family property over the years as a guard.

The guard's salary is not too high, but he has some family property left by the Lord.In addition, he has a good vision, some talents in investment, and a lot of land for shops at home. Even if he doesn't do anything from now on, he just stays at home and doesn't have to worry about food and drink.

What's more, he doesn't think that he can only protect people.

His talent is much higher than Qiu Gaoyuan's.

Why did Qiu Miaomiao feel wronged when she married him?
What did Qiu Gaoyuan give Qiu Miaomiao?How did he treat his daughter?
Who are Qiu Miaomiao's eldest and second sisters married to?

Even if Akita Tian was said to be the third young lady of Zuofu, how many people wanted to be this third young lady at the beginning?
Marrying a fool, is Qiu's family beautiful?

Cui Zhi couldn't control his brain all of a sudden, and blurted out: "Master Qiu, I call you Sir because I respect you for Miaomiao's sake. I know exactly what kind of situation Qiu's family is in. You are just Do you really feel sorry for Miao Miao if you want to treat her as a cash cow? Why can’t I let Miao Miao enjoy life? At least, I won’t let her live in such a dilapidated house, at least, I will let her dress comfortably and decently, I can eat whatever I want. I will not beat her or scold her, I will love her, and I will not discriminate against her."

His words hit Qiu Gaoyuan's pain point.

Qiu Gaoyuan's face suddenly became ugly.

He suddenly stood up, pointed at Cui Zhi's nose and said, "You said you are rich, well, how much do you want as a betrothal gift? Show it to me to see if you are worthy of marrying my daughter."

Without saying a word, Cui Zhi presented the gift he had brought.

He had just lost his temper, and he felt a little better, and his mind became calmer.

Thinking that Qiu Gaoyuan was also Qiu Miaomiao's father, he had no choice but to restrain the unknown anger in his heart and be more polite to him.

Politeness is politeness, but warm words can't be uttered.

Qiu Gaoyuan opened the gift box and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw what was inside.

The gift box contains antiques, precious medicinal materials, and some high-end silk, satin and jade accessories.

Cui Zhi didn't know what he needed for a job, so he just bought some expensive things that his future parents-in-law might need.

Of course, today is not considered an appointment. I am just here to stand up and get Qiu Gaoyuan's consent.

When Qiu Gaoyuan agrees to their marriage, he will find a matchmaker to go through the procedures.

Qiu Gaoyuan is a person who knows the value of these things, and he is even more impressed by Cui Zhi.

Of course, this admiration is not because he appreciates Cui Zhi and is willing to marry his daughter to him, but because he sees that Cui Zhi is fatter than he imagined.

How can we not slaughter this super fat sheep?
Qiu Gaoyuan looked at the gift box with burning eyes, but he pretended to have a straight face, closed the gift box heavily, and said: "You want to marry my daughter with this little thing? Do you know that I raised my daughter like this?" How much did you spend on her?"

"Miaomiao has done a lot to repay the family. She has made a lot of money for the family by doing embroidery work." Cui Zhi argued unconvinced.

He was very aware of Qiu Miaomiao's situation at home. When he first saw her at Qiu's house, he felt sympathy for this girl from the bottom of his heart.

At that time, he was even impulsive and wanted to rescue the girl.

It's just that he was just a stranger, and he didn't have any reason to take that girl away.

Fortunately, Akita Tian forcibly took Qiu Miaomiao away and brought him into Zuofu.

He could tell that Akita Tian really felt sorry for his sister, and took her to Zuofu because he was afraid that her sister would suffer at home.

He has not forgotten how Qiu Miaomiao was insulted by Qiu Gaoyuan in order to give Akita an embroidered handkerchief. If Akita had not arrived in time, Qiu Miaomiao would have been severely beaten.

Cui Zhi never forgot all of these.

It is precisely for these reasons that he has a very good impression of Akita.

This third young lady is a responsible and kind person.

Qiu Gaoyuan was hit by Cui Zhilu again, and his face was extremely ugly.

He cursed: "How dare you say that you are nice to Miao Miao? You insulted her father like this the first time you came to the door, you, get out of here."

He pointed to the gate, wanting to drive Cui Zhi out.

However, his body was in front of the table, and he didn't have the consciousness to return the gift box at all.

Cui Zhi had no choice but to suppress his anger again, and said: "Master Qiu, I didn't mean to say these unpleasant things. Well, I made a mistake, and I apologize to you. I assure you, I will Wait until the seedlings are well."

"Who believes what you say? What do you use to guarantee that you are good to her? You said you would let her live a good life, but you showed me the proof. "

Qiu Gaoyuan continued to catch up with Cui Zhi.

In fact, on the surface, he seemed to be strictly rejecting Cui Zhi, but in his words he was urging Cui Zhi to bring something.

Although Cui Zhi has a weird temper and is dismissive of many people, he is someone who has been in the officialdom for many years and can still understand such obvious hints from Qiu Gaoyuan.

Is this extorting his bride price?
As expected, he still wanted to use Qiu Miaomiao as a cash cow.

Cui Zhi despised Qiu Gaoyuan's personality. He really couldn't understand how such parents could give birth to two outstanding girls, Akita Tian and Qiu Miaomiao.

Cui Zhi said: "Why don't Master Qiu tell me how much it takes to marry Miao Miao."

No matter how much he endured it, he still couldn't help but express his irony.

At the same time, he was thinking about how much dowry he could give to the Qiu family.

As long as he can marry Qiu Miaomiao, he doesn't care if Qiu's family beats him up a lot.

Qiu Gaoyuan jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail.

"What did you say? How much does it cost to marry Miaomiao? Who do you think my Miaomiao is? Do you think I am someone who will sell my daughter? Get out, don't come to my house again, and don't insult the Qiu family again. Get out. , you get out for me."

Cui Zhi didn't expect him to react like this.

He thought that Qiu Gaoyuan would pretend to refuse again, and then offer a sky-high price.

He was ready to bargain, but unexpectedly, Qiu Gaoyuan drove him out.

Cui Zhi was a little confused, and said, "Master Qiu..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Gaoyuan interrupted him again.

"Don't call me Master Qiu. I don't want to hear it. Get out of here."

Qiu Gaoyuan picked up a stool and threw it at Cui Zhi.

He is a civil servant, and with his skills, he cannot defeat Cui Zhi no matter what.

Cui Zhi is Zuo Muchen's personal bodyguard, and he is very skilled.

If it was normal, Qiu Gaoyuan would not dare to do anything to Cui Zhi if he gave Qiu Gaoyuan a hundred courage.

However, today, he was sure about Cui Zhi, that he liked Qiu Miaomiao and dared not do anything to him.

Cui Zhi was indeed very angry, but as Qiu Gaoyuan had judged, he did not dare to fight back.

He can be less polite to Qiu Gaoyuan, but it is absolutely impossible to do it.

Cui Zhi had no choice but to dodge, leaving Qiu Gaoyuan in the air.

"Master Qiu, please listen to my explanation."

Qiu Gaoyuan continued to greet him with a stool. He was used to beating his daughter since he was a child, and he was very easy to beat.

"Don't say any more, you go out, and if you dare to step on the ground of my Qiu family, I will go to the patriarch to judge this reason. Get out, get out."

Qiu Gaoyuan was so vicious that he drove Cui Zhi out of the house.

The two attendants were frightened and wanted to break up the fight, but they didn't dare.

They all know what Cui Zhi is here for, and they dare not offend Qiu Gaoyuan.
