Chapter 139

I live here in Yunyang County, and former students of Du Youzhong also came to visit, and Jin Shan, the young owner of Hang Seng Jewelry Store, also came here. This Jin Shan is no longer studying at Jinxi Academy, but is studying business with his father.

Because he failed to study well, his father saw that he had almost learned, and he was old enough to start a business, so he let him go home and followed him to learn experience.

After Jinshan came to visit as a student, Jinshan's mother also came to the door with gifts. Mrs. Jin was a shrewd person at first glance, and the jewelry on her hand was not ordinary. When she saw Du Yu, she had to give one of her jade rings to Du Yu. Du Yu, Du Yu hastily declined. She won't be paid for nothing. This thing is worth a lot of money at first glance, so she can't accept it.

Even Mrs. Hu refused to accept it. Mrs. Jin just said to Mrs. Hu, "I don't have a daughter myself, and I fell in love with Miss Du when I saw her. Mrs. Du, please don't laugh at me."

Hu hurriedly said: "You are too polite, she is just a silly girl. Sometimes it is a headache."

"You are being modest. If I had such a girl, I would definitely have nothing else to ask for."

Because the two wanted to talk about adults, Mrs. Hu asked Du Yu to leave first. Mrs. Jin watched Du Yu leave before she turned her eyes and started chatting with Mrs. Hu again.

Mrs. Hu was curious about Mrs. Jin's attitude. When they met for the first time, she was too friendly. Although her man was Jin Shan's husband, he had only been teaching for a little over a year, and Jin Shan hadn't read it. The attitude was too strange, and Hu felt a little uncomfortable.

"She probably wants Yu'er to be her daughter-in-law." Hu said to Du Youzhong.

Mrs. Hu really guessed right this time, Mrs. Jin really has this plan, her family is not short of money at all, can a jewelry store be short of money?
Every item at home is worth tens of taels of silver.

But being rich is nothing, everyone always talks about them as merchants, so what if they are merchants?
Still better than your life, more comfortable than your life.You two are poor, haha, and you are very arrogant.

Since you look down on merchants so much, she just wants to tell her son a girl from a scholar's family.Mrs. Jin thinks this way. Now that Jinshan has grown up, she can choose slowly. There are many scholars in Yunyang County, but those who can really get married with them are those who have settled down and are waiting for their money. Well, she still doesn't like such a family.

But like the Chu family, they have money and a shop, so naturally they won't betroth their daughters because of money.

Mrs. Jin looked left and right, but she didn't see a good family. No, it just happened that the Chu family and the Du family were married. I see, that Du Juren is still his son's husband, and he is also related to the Chu family by marriage, and he happens to have a suitable daughter, isn't this a match made in heaven?
So she couldn't hold back, so she went to visit Du's house by herself. Anyway, her son is Du Juren's student, which is not considered rude.

When I arrived at Du's house, I saw that there was a yard here, that the Du family's clothes were not shabby, and there were servants serving them, so I knew that this Du's house was not a shabby household, which reassured Mrs. Jin.

Then seeing that little girl from Du's family, who was not bad looking and worthy of his son, his thoughts became even stronger.

When Master Jin came home, he couldn't wait to tell Master Jin about his plan.

Master Jin shook his head, "Du Juren will go to Beijing to take the exam in the spring of next year. Although we have two dollars, we are a real merchant's family. Scholars like them will not be in-laws with merchants."

Mrs. Jin said: "It is precisely because he is going to Beijing to rush for the exam. Doesn't he have to take care of all aspects? Otherwise, it will not be easy to pass the exam. If he does, he will have to find an errand to be a superior, so it is even more difficult to take care of it? Otherwise, he will directly I'll get you to that bitter cold place in the northwest, so that you won't be able to come back for more than ten years, that's all right? Why don't you need to take care of your official career? We don't lack anything else, and we don't lack money. He will marry a daughter. The money That’s it, who wouldn’t do such a good deal.”

As expected of a family business, this counts as a business.

Mr. Jin was a little moved by what was said. Seeing this, Mrs. Jin immediately added fire, "Besides, our Jinshan is a student of Du Juren, so we know everything about it. What worries him? Jinshan has a good temper, yes. His daughter will definitely be fine, as for me, I am not a bad mother-in-law, I will be comfortable and rich after marrying, so I can kill multiple birds with one stone."

When Mr. Jin was persuaded, Jin Shan heard a lot, so he came out and said, "Father and mother, this matter is not going to work, so don't think about it in the future, I don't agree, and my husband won't agree either. "

Mrs. Jin immediately said: "You child, what are you talking about? Aren't we doing it for your own good? What's the matter, can't our children from merchants marry a girl from a scholar's family?"

Jin Shan said: "Mr. is not the kind of person who can sell his daughter for money. Mother, you don't have to think too much. It is wrong for you to use money to impress people. I will not agree to this matter. Don't mention it to my husband, or I, a student, will have no face to see my husband!"

Mrs. Jin said to Mr. Jin: "Listen to what your good son said, how did it become like this? Loving money is not a bad thing, it is obviously a good thing for everyone. As you go, it is originally It was ordered by my parents, you say you don’t agree, what do I want you to agree to? As long as we make an agreement, you will marry me obediently, otherwise, don’t tell me.”

Jin Shan said: "If you want to talk about others, I will definitely not care, but that is my husband. I don't want to lose the right to call him Mr. in the future. If you really want to think about it, don't talk about it. Otherwise, this I won't go to the shop either, I don't care about anything else!"

"Yo, you're threatening your parents, you're really capable, you, believe it or not, I'll beat you up, brat!" Mrs. Jin rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit someone.

Master Jin persuaded: "Forget it, the cow doesn't drink water and forcefully presses the head? It will be bad if you become enemies at that time. Let's not do anything to acquaintances." Originally, his son was Du Juren's student, so with this status, That's enough. Now that my son doesn't agree with that, why force it?
At that time, things will really get worse, and it will be difficult to contact Du Juren in the future.

He was in business, and as long as cold money was involved, it was always so boring.

Money is related to interests. How is it different from asking the Du family to sell their daughter?
Seeing how Jin Shan respects his husband, he is not greedy for money, and his character is also worthy of respect. They are now throwing money at others and asking them to exchange their daughters to make it happen. This is really insulting.

Master Jin figured it out, so no matter what Mrs. Jin said, Master Jin also disagreed.

There are two objections in the family, and one agrees. Mrs. Jin has no advantage.She really didn't dare to confront her husband.

You know, on small things, my husband let me go, but on the outside things, if he said he disagreed and I agreed, then there must be no good fruit.

Master Jin saw that Mrs. Jin was listless, so he persuaded him: "When I asked Jin Shan to study in Jinxi Academy, there were other reasons besides letting him learn to read, because I know that the people who teach in Jinxi Academy are at least scholars. , This talented person also has the chance to be promoted, so there is a mentor-student relationship, and Jinshan’s luck is good, there happens to be a gentleman, and he was selected, will this be Jinshan’s connections in the future?"

Those who do business need to have backers and connections. When others make trouble for themselves, they can find someone to help them. Of course, they also have filial piety to the officials under their jurisdiction.

"We already have this relationship. When Du Juren really wins Jinshi, won't that be more at ease? Let's not say that we only pay for it after marrying his daughter. You say that, don't you mean, Let people sell their daughter for money? How ugly? Scholars care most about this. Besides, the Du family is not that kind of shabby household. We just wait for Du Juren to come to Beijing to take the exam. We will use the name of Jinshan to present the ceremony That's it, it's decent and generous, and it will be a favor at that time, isn't it much better than what you said?"

Mrs. Jin listened to it. It was not easy for them to do business, but Mrs. Jin was still a little bit reconciled, after all, how good the candidate was.

Master Jin continued to persuade: "Since Jin Shan said that, he knows what kind of temperament his husband is. We are his parents, and he must be thinking about us. Could it be that he is harming his parents' son? So let's listen to him and don't mention it." The marriage is over, and with this master-student relationship, when Jinshan really encounters difficulties, he will try his best to help. Don’t you think so?”

Mrs. Jin was discouraged, and when she went to Du Yu's house in the future, she no longer asked Du Yu's words all the time.

Mrs. Hu was confused by Mrs. Jin's attitude of being overly enthusiastic for a while, and then becoming normal for a while. What exactly do you mean?

But Mrs. Jin didn't speak up, and Mrs. Hu was just as usual.

Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Jin's words are also very interesting. When it comes to all kinds of jewelry, she is very logical. Mrs. Hu thinks that she can study hard. Even Du Yu listens to this and thinks it is very useful. Chatting with people, girls like these jewelry, clothes, rouge, etc. It is good that she has more knowledge.

In this way, everyone gets along very casually, and the relationship between the two is even better.

"Xiaoya, come back with your elder brother to buy two watermelons." Du Yu gave Xiaoya some money. Now that the weather is hot, eating watermelon can not only quench your thirst, but also relieve your fever.

Not far from where they live, they just heard calls for selling watermelons.

"Hey!" Xiaoya was very happy to be able to go shopping, after all, she was a six or seven-year-old girl.

In the county town, Du Yu also made an account book, recording all the expenses of the family.So as not to get confused when you get it.

The tofu workshop at Sanshu's side has also been built, and Sanshu and several restaurants in the town have also signed a contract to order their tofu, which means that the tofu workshop is about to get on the right track.
