The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 309 Inside Story
Everyone was so happy to hear that she agreed to meet him. But this was a scholar, and if she refused without even meeting him, Old Man Li really couldn't accept it.

Just agree to meet each other!

Tian Li was so happy that she could not sit still. She immediately rushed back to inform the Tong family to get ready. She was busy running around like this, not for any benefit to the Tong family, but mainly for her niece!
No matter how big your business is, it won't work without someone's support. If you marry a juren and become an official's wife in the future, no one will dare to bully you, and your business will last long.

It was almost dark, so Old Yuan asked her to go back early tomorrow morning, but Tian Li waved her hand and said, "It's not far. I'll go back now."

Seeing this, the Song family couldn't keep her any longer, so they asked someone to use a mule cart to send her back, which would be faster.

Shi Liu asked Zuo Cheng, who had just returned, to deliver the pomegranate personally.

After seeing Tian Li off, the family couldn't help but talk about the marriage again. They also talked about the meeting tomorrow, and they were also very concerned about it.

After dinner, Song took Li Xiangli and the others into Shiliu's room again to help her choose clothes for the next day.

Shi Liu let them do what they wanted and sat at the desk beside her, drawing on a piece of paper by the light of a lamp.

"It's getting cold, and it's windy in the mountains, so you need to wear a cloak."

"Then how about wearing this aquamarine dress and this blue cape?"

"Isn't this a bit too plain? It's better for a little girl to wear something festive. I think she should wear this rose-red dress. Your sister is fair-skinned, and she looks good in this bright color!"

"My sister is pretty. She looks good in whatever she wears."

"."

After some trouble, Song finally picked the ones she was satisfied with and called Shi Liu over to try it out.

Shi Liu said, "Big sister has already said that I look good in anything. No need to try it on. I'm busy now and don't have time. I'll just wear whatever you pick tomorrow."

Seeing that Shi Liu didn't seem to be paying attention, Song felt a headache, but when she heard that her daughter was busy, she thought that she had been running around all day and would not be free at night, so she couldn't help feeling distressed. So she gave up and let Shi Liu rest early so as not to tire herself out.

After leaving the house, Song went to the kitchen, intending to cook a pot of bird's nest porridge herself, so that she could fill her stomach after her daughter finished her work.

Before, the Liu family sent bird's nest as a gift, but she didn't know how to make it. Later, Xichun stewed it and they tasted it. They all thought it was delicious. Seeing that they liked it, Shi Liu often bought some for reserve.

At first, Mrs. Song knew it was a good thing, but she didn't know the exact price. Later, when she found out, she refused to eat it often. The same was true for Mrs. Yuan.

Now that Mrs. Lin is in confinement after giving birth, we stew this for her every other day.

But as for the pomegranates, Song was not reluctant at all. Her daughter bought them and she could eat as much as she wanted.

Shi Liu put down his pen, turned his neck, looked at the finished drawing, and nodded with satisfaction.

It’s time for Tongwanzhai to have new products. This time, she plans to have educational and brain-stimulating toys, building block houses with mortise and tenon structures for children. Relying on the mortise and tenon structure, children can assemble a small house step by step by assembling the building blocks.

It requires both the brain and the hands, and is very interesting. I believe there is no child who would not like it.

Thinking that the previous chess games were loved by many adults, and that Liu Dongjia often asked the adults to come and ask if there were any new fun things, Shi Liu thought about it and decided to come up with some new educational toys that require the brain this time.

The Kongming lock, which also has a mortise and tenon structure, is easy and difficult. You'll have to rack your brains to figure it out. It's not easy to draw the blueprint, and it's not easy to make. Shi Liu estimates that it will be ready in the spring of next year, but Liu Dongjia can do it earlier, after all, he has enough people.

After putting the finished drawing into the box on the table, Pomegranate stood up.

Fu Dong from the outer room heard the noise and walked in. "Miss, are you done with your work? Madam has cooked bird's nest porridge. I'll serve you a bowl."

After racking his brains and feeling a little hungry, Shi Liu nodded, "Is Zuo Cheng back?"

"He's already back. He just came back from dinner. Do you want me to call him over?"

Pomegranate nodded.

Not long after, Fu Dong came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge, followed by Zuo Cheng.

"girl."

Shi Liu took a bite of the bird's nest porridge and asked, "How is it?"

Zuo Cheng said: "After I sent the old lady back, I pretended to leave and then sneaked back. I followed the old lady all the way to Mr. Tong's house. When Mr. Tong's family heard that Ming'er had come to see them, they were very happy, but there was nothing special. I stayed for a while after the old lady left, and heard some of the inside story."

"Oh?" She was a little puzzled by the Tong family's sudden visit to propose marriage, so she asked Zuo Cheng to find out.

Zuo Cheng recalled what he had heard.

At that time, after the Tong family sent Tian Li away and closed the door, the family sat together, unable to contain their joy. Tong's mother said, "The Li family agreed to meet us, which is a very good sign. You know, the Fan family refused without even meeting us. It's really because my son, a juren, has a good reputation.

When we meet tomorrow, Liang'er, you must perform well and make Miss Li fall in love with you at first sight. Then we will have a deal. When she marries you, you can coax her into giving you money to pave the way for you. Just like Mr. Fan, it will not be a problem for you to get a position as a county magistrate.

This girl is well-known. If you marry her, your career in the government will be smooth."

Tong Liang also had a determined look on his face, "Don't worry, mother. I'm going to marry Miss Li! I originally wanted to wait until I passed the imperial examination, and then marry a daughter of a wealthy family to add to my happiness. Alas, it's a pity that the imperial examination is not that easy to pass. I have spent a lot of effort to get the title of Juren. I know it's impossible for me to pass the imperial examination. With my title of Juren, how can a daughter of a wealthy family be willing to marry me?

That's the only way. Fortunately, I heard that Miss Li is pretty and a cash cow. If I marry her and make some arrangements, I can still become an official. By then, as long as I have enough money and arrange things well, I may be able to move up to the position of county magistrate, and then step by step."

Tong Liang spoke excitedly, his face full of excitement, as if he had already seen his lovely wife in his arms, and this lovely wife was holding countless money and sending him straight to the top step by step -

Shi Liu listened calmly, and scooped the last mouthful of porridge from the bowl into her mouth. She swallowed it slowly and twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, "Heh."

Fu Dong's face was filled with indignation, and he spit out a sound of anger, "What a beautiful dream! He wants to marry the girl and use the money she has worked hard to earn to pave the way for him to become an official. What a beautiful dream!"

She really thought that the best scholar had chosen the girl and wanted to marry her, but she didn't expect that there was such a conspiracy behind it.

"Girl, you have to tell the madam and the others that we can't go to the wedding tomorrow!"

Pomegranate smiled, "Go, why not?"

She wanted to see with her own eyes how big the faces of the mother and son were. They were so exquisite and rare to see, she had to go and see them.
