Chapter 478: A Gentleman
Xie Qiao spoke slowly as if she was chatting. However, Xie Pinggang understood the meaning behind her words. The anger inside of him grew stronger and stronger.
“That old biddy really thinks that we are a bank! They must’ve gotten the birth details from Ms. Lu. She… is quite bold,” Xie Pinggang snorted.
However, after he cursed, he did not have any other reaction.
“The wife that she wants to give me is that…” Xie Pinggang could not remember the name of that person, so he reconstructed his sentence, “That fake cousin?”
Xie Qiao nodded.
Xie Pinggang frowned, “That old biddy doesn’t have good taste either. Since she wants to get me a wife, can’t she find a better one?”
He did not like that cousin who appeared out of nowhere.
Xie Qiao became curious when she heard that.
“Eldest Brother, in your eyes, what kind of wife… is a better wife?” Xie Qiao thought she could find a sister-in-law in the future from her brother’s opinion.
Xie Pinggang frowned and thought for a while.
A moment later, he said in all seriousness, “She would have a tender look and doesn’t look like those rough old men with a body full of hair. She has to be sensible and shouldn’t cry all the time. She doesn’t talk much and all day long… She has to be strong and healthy. Don’t be like our Mother and Lin Erniang, who entered the Gates of Hell after giving birth to a child.”
Other than those…
There was nothing else.
More or less, he just needed someone to pass time with.
Xie Qiao was stunned.
A body full of hair?!
Xie Qiao looked horrified. At that moment, she looked at her eldest brother with a complicated expression. She thought even if one day he managed to break this fate, the person that he found… would be a fair-skinned man at most!
The reputation of the Xie family… would probably be terrible in the future…
Xie Qiao gulped a mouthful of tea to calm herself down.
“I have low expectations. Unlike you, I’ve been searching for so long and still can’t find a decent person. Oh right, I will bring you to meet someone in a few days. If you think that person is suitable, we will set a date,” Xie Pinggang suddenly said.
Xie Qiao almost choked.
“Don’t worry. This time, the man that I have taken a fancy to will definitely satisfy you. He’s handsome aside, he looks flashy, and also a scholar. He’s a serious son. He’s about 20 years old now, a little older. However, he has no wife, no children, and not even a concubine,” Xie Pinggang was very proud, “This person is extremely talented and has a strong body. He is just a little pitiful without parents.”
Xie Pinggang spoke very carefully. Then, he suddenly thought of something and took out a portrait.
He was convinced that Xie Qiao would not have any negative things to say this time.
In the portrait, there was indeed a very handsome man.
Xie Qiao looked over and found that this person’s eyebrows were great. They were as delicate as a crescent moon, and he had a refined spirit.
These eyebrows were the eyes of a king, a seedling of courage, and a face of pride. This person must be intelligent, knowledgeable, and smart. If he passed the examination, he would definitely reach the moon. He would be a wise and wealthy man.
“This person is great, but he’s a little poor…” Xie Pinggang suddenly added.
Xie Qiao frowned, “He… is poor?”
It should not be?
This person had a good appearance, but he was still young. Although he did not have much land, he should be able to live comfortably with servants.
“He’s so poor that he sells his skills at a brothel. He writes good poems,” Xie Pinggang added, “Don’t underestimate him. He knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even when he’s selling his skills, he would only sell some poems to those ladies. I secretly observed him a few times. He’s a gentleman. When he entered the brothel, he didn’t let anyone get close to him. He’s a decent man.”
