Chapter 26 Marriage
"Zijin, don't look at the account book. You have never had a good time since you came to Shu County. It will be the Shangsi Festival in a few days. There is a rare pot of green peonies blooming in Xue's greenhouse. Please go and enjoy the flowers. Today Grandmother will take you out to buy some clothes and jewelry. On that day, dress up Su and go to Xue's house to play for a day. There are some young ladies in Xue's house. You can talk to them. If you have similar interests, you can also make a sister friend. "

Early in the morning, grandmother Tao said this to Su Zijin who came to pay her respects.

Su Zijin is not a workaholic. She has met the shopkeepers of various villages and shops in the past few months. It may be that what happened to Shen Shixi made them vigilant. These shopkeepers are very polite and admit their mistakes to their grandfather Chang Qingzhou He is also very sincere to Su Zijin. Su Zijin has successfully taken over the Chang family's business right now, and it is time to frantically look at the account books and statistics. At this time, his grandmother asked him to go play for a day. .

The Chang family's carriage is the simplest green leather carriage, and it is very low-key on the road. Su Zijin looked at the beautiful carriages coming and going on the road, and then remembered something.

"Grandmother, my mother married to the capital, so not many people in Jinguan City seem to know about it."

Su Zijin wanted to ask a long time ago, but today is the chance.

Although the Chang family was wealthy, the carriage they drove out was very low-key. Coupled with Shopkeeper Shen's resistance a while ago, Su Zijin realized that her mother seemed to have a low sense of existence in the eyes of the Chang family's relatives in Jinguan City. .

Grandmother Tao still smiled, as if Su Zijin had finally discovered the matter, and said, "Back then, your mother was stubborn, and your grandfather was even more stubborn. No one would accept anyone. So no one dared to be with your grandfather. The premise is your mother. After a long time, we don’t mention it, and others don’t mention it. Not many people know the inside story, and they don’t mention it on purpose. Naturally, your mother has become a taboo. Shopkeeper Shen came to our house later to be the shopkeeper. He is always high-minded and self-reliant, and he doesn't like to curry favor with the servants in the mansion, he doesn't know it's normal."

Grandmother seemed to know where Su Zijin's question came from, so she specifically mentioned shopkeeper Shen.

"I'll just say it." Su Zijin understood, "If shopkeeper Shen knew the identity of my mother, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

The identities of the shopkeeper of a merchant and the shopkeeper of Mrs. Chaopin's house are very different.As a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, if shopkeeper Shen knew his family status, he probably wouldn't blame his grandfather for not giving him the opportunity to become an official, but wished to hold the plaque of the Chang family and swear allegiance to the death.

"Let's not mention the careless one, let's go to the Nishang Pavilion today and make you some nice clothes."

Grandmother Tao Shi brought Su Zijin to a two-story wooden building. When she got off the carriage, a woman came to greet her, "Greetings to Mrs. Chang! You can make clothes, just call us into the house, what use is yours?" come in person?"

The grandmother was held by the shopkeeper, and she said proudly, "Hey, isn't this my granddaughter? Make some clothes for her. I can't wait to call you into the mansion. Let me make some clothes for her first. After that, I will wear clothes for the four seasons." Clothes, wait until you enter the mansion to measure the size!"

The female shopkeeper was amazed, "Hey, forgive me for my poor eyesight, I didn't recognize this daughter. Doesn't she look very similar to you, when you were young, you must have been like this young lady, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a natural beauty!"

The grandmother was coaxed to smile, and followed the female shopkeeper to the second floor.

"Madam Chang, sister Zijin!"

Xue Baozhu was pleasantly surprised to see the two of them and greeted them.

Only then did Su Zijin realize that the private room on the second floor was a spacious garment-making department, and someone was responsible for measuring and selecting fabrics for distinguished guests.Right now, Xue Baozhu, her elder brother Xue Zhaofeng and classmate Wang Chujun are drinking tea together, waiting for Xue Baozhu's body.

Su Zijin couldn't help sighing, after all, Jinguan City is small, and you can always come across it.

"Baozhu is here too, are you making clothes for the Shangsi Festival in a few days?"

Mrs. Chang warmly greeted Baozhu, and Baozhu also put down the material, and walked in front of Su Zijin and the old lady.

"Sister Zijin, how are you doing these days? The last time I went out alone, I guess I was scared by the shopkeeper. I haven't seen Zijin go out in the past few months."

"She's a child, isn't she scared? I also want to thank you for fighting righteously with your brother, and this prince, is he the son of the Tongpan family? I heard that she is successful in her studies and will go to Chunwei next year. How many people's wishes will be fulfilled by going to high school in one fell swoop!"

Mrs. Chang grabbed Xue Baozhu's hand, patted and said something, and successfully made Xue Baozhu and Wang Gongzi shy together.

"Madam Chang, Miss Su, are you also here to choose the ingredients? The orb has just been chosen, and we have to go to Xiuzhitang to get the prepared pills, so excuse me."

Xue Zhaofeng, the only one with a normal face on the field, said.

"Okay, go on your own, we still have to choose materials."

Watching the three of them go downstairs, Mrs. Chang pulled Lu Weimang to the material cabinet and asked the shopkeeper to choose suitable materials for Su Zijin.

"This light blue dress with hundreds of flowers and butterflies is beautiful, elegant and lively, old lady, what do you think?"

Mrs. Chang held the teacup and looked at her granddaughter with a smile, "It looks good, choose a few more, cut three sets of single clothes, six sets of gauze summer clothes, anyway, I am here today, just choose the materials, shopkeeper Li, Bring any good materials for the bottom of the box."

Shopkeeper Li smiled brightly on his shrewd and thin face, and put down the material that is full of flowers and butterflies in his hand. Brilliant."

After finishing speaking, he quickly went downstairs and went to the warehouse in the backyard to get things.

Su Zijin sat with his grandmother, and through the window, watched the brothers and sisters of the Xue family downstairs and the carriage of Prince Wang going away together into the distance.

"You don't often go to various government gatherings, and you may not know that Miss Xue's family is already engaged."

"Ah? Not the prince?"

Mrs. Chang glanced at her granddaughter, "As long as you are smart, you are indeed not a prince."

"Isn't that obvious? If you were a prince, you wouldn't speak like this."

Mrs. Chang nodded, "The Xue family is an upstart, serving as the county guard in Shu County. Miss Xue's marriage contract is to join the army in Shu County, the Jiang family. Although the Jiang family is not high-ranking, they have the title of guerrilla general. In Kyoto, there are also some foundations.”

"Wow, Ms. Xue really doesn't like riches and scholars. But Mr. Wang is a man of talent, so it's normal for Ms. Xue to be tempted."

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, holding a title was definitely in the upper class of society, even if it was a middle title.

Mrs. Chang put down the teacup, "If you say you are stupid, you are still a little clever. If you say you are smart, you are confused again. The daughter of the county guard's family, how can she let her have sex, but first look at the family status and then the people. The Xue family is Qingliu, and Gao Pan was engaged to the Jiang family back then, who knows that the Patriarch of the Xue family is now on the rise, so he wants to stand firm and go further, and doesn't want to have anything to do with Xungui, that's why Miss Xue is taken for granted."

Su Zijin nodded half-understanding, "Oh."

Mrs. Chang knew that her granddaughter's mind was clear, and to put it bluntly, she was not sensitive enough to these ditches, "Forget it, you just remember, do you know how careful you are with Baozhu in the future?"

"Ah."
