A woman's marriage is decided by her parents, and outsiders cannot interfere.
Besides, Chu Chu is not young and it is indeed time for marriage.
"Please, can I go talk to his master?" Yingbao gave her an idea.
In my opinion, Mrs. Wen is a female elder with a certain prestige here who is best suited to discuss this matter with Sister Chu Chu's biological father.
"Bu Nao, Sister Chu Chu, I guess his master will help me get away with it for at least half a year. After the autumn harvest, I won't ask to go home with my father." That's not true.
Chu Chu will be sixteen next year, and will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. In the countryside, there are really not many unmarried girls over sixteen or seventeen.
Chu Chu nodded with a grimace, and immediately took Ying Bao to find Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen was also open-minded. Seeing that Chu Chu had made up her mind, she nodded and agreed to help her.
When Chuchu happily ran to help the nanny in the work, Mrs. Wen pointed at Yingbao with her leg and said angrily: "My little girl will cause trouble for him as soon as he comes back. I will go over Luodong's homework soon."
."
"No." Ying Bao giggled and read with Wen Shuzao.
During the break, Wen Shu told Ying Bao, "In a few months, he and his mother will go back to Yuzhou."
Ying Bao frowned: "Why?"
Wen Shu whispered: "Father and grandmother asked him to go back." She was embarrassed to tell Ying Bao because she was already eleven years old and had to go back to her family to see her.
In fact, it is not true that Chu Chu is the only one who has troubles about getting married, she also has the same problem, so A Niang agreed to help Chu Chu.
But a woman is not born to ask for marriage. Although she resisted, she had to compromise.
Ying Bao had known that one day she would have to say goodbye to Sister Wen and the others, and she also expected that their separation would last forever.
He hugged Wen Shu in front of him, put his face against her chest, and said softly: "Then I will definitely remember him when I go back. I really want to write to him often, and I don't want to be like when I write back, and there will be no news as soon as I leave."
Wen Shu didn't expect Ying Bao to say that, so he smiled and said, "He really thought that I would be reluctant to let him go."
"If you don't want to let me go, I won't leave." Ying Bao sighed: "There is no such thing as a banquet in this world, so just ask him to keep him in mind."
Wen Shu touched her head and hummed softly, "He will always think about me and write to me often. Yingbao, I beg you to be kind. If you have any difficulties, just send him a letter. His home is at
There is a drugstore in Fucheng called Kang'an Medicine Hall, and his father is temporarily doing clinics there."
Yingbao nodded: "Okay, he understands."
Wen Shu added: "Yuzhou is very good at arranging for someone to come over. If I send a letter, I will ask him to take it."
"Um."
A few months later, Chu Chu's own father came to pick up Chu Chu, but as expected, Mrs. Wen sent her away and never came again.
After another ten days, Yan Ru had used up all the icing sugar and made more than a hundred kilograms of preserved apricots and peaches, as well as some preserved pears.
All the preserved fruits had been dried and put on jars, and some of them were taken to the county town by Jiang Quan to sell some.
The preserved fruits in Bu Nao are not very popular now, and no fresh fruits are popular.
During the confinement period, Jiang Quan and his eldest brother Jiang Cheng picked ripe apricots and peaches from the east, transported them to the county town by horse-drawn carriage, and set up a fruit stall in front of Yingbao's shop. It turned out that the business was very prosperous.
During this period, Jiang Sanlang also went there once, spending money to hire people to repair the house and shops, and asked his nephew Dacheng to take care of them there.
The money for repairing the house was given by my daughter, more than one hundred taels, but Mrs. Wen advanced Jin Er's money, and all was used up in the end.
Seeing that the grapes and peppers were also ripe, Yingbao decided to pick some and give them to Wu Daozi to taste. By the way, she took her eldest brother Jiang Jie to visit Mr. Wu.
The carriage came to the shop first. Jiang Quan and his elder brother who came with him moved three baskets of grapes from the carriage to the east, leaving one basket of grapes in the carriage to give to Mr. Wu in the bright moon.
Yingbao put some grapes in a basket and put them together with the cart.
Afterwards, Jiang Sanlao drove a carriage to his new home on Plum Blossom Lane. He asked to clean up and check on the progress of the carpenters.
Ying Bao took her younger brother Jiang Jie to check outside the store.
The shop floor has been cleaned, and some brand new bamboo baskets are piled inside.
The damaged areas of the house have also been repaired, and even the three huts at the back have been renovated, but there is nothing inside.
Jiang Quan followed his little cousin and said with a smile: "From now on, he will be the shopkeeper of that shop."
Yingbao said seriously: "Second brother, I will be a merchant after I become the shopkeeper."
"A merchant is a merchant." Jiang Quan said nonchalantly.
Jiang Cheng glanced at his younger brother: "I don't want to be tight as a merchant, so don't burden Yuan Bao."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Quan frowned: "He is his merchant, what does it have to do with Yuanbao?"
Ying Bao: "Because the Ming Dynasty said that the whole family only needs one person to do business, and that is not a merchant."
Jiang Quan scratched his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Then he can be separated by himself. He has his own household and has nothing to do with them."
Jiang Cheng sneered: "How old am I? I'm still a teenager, and I haven't started a family yet. How can I get married?"
"Then..." Jiang Quan was at a loss.
Jiang Cheng continued: "He will become a teenager next year." He glanced at his little cousin and said, "So he can be the shopkeeper of that shop."
When Jiang Quan heard this, he became angry: "No! He, he..." He stuttered for a long time and couldn't think of anything to refute.
Indeed, the eldest brother is already a grown man. If he proposes to do business with a boat, his parents will definitely not go wrong.
Jiang Jie raised his head and looked at his eldest brother and then his second brother and said, "The eldest brother is very unmarried." If you don't get married, you won't have a family and a career. Jiang Jie understands.
Jiang Cheng pinched his little cousin's cheek and threatened in a low voice: "Don't buy me mutton skewers later!"
Jiang Quan, who was standing by, chuckled and said, "Xiaojie from the Meiji family, my second brother will buy it for me later."
Ying Bao on the side:······
At that time, someone walked into the shop, two servants in black clothes.
"Eh? Our family sells grapes from the Western Regions a lot?" One person saw two baskets of purple grapes in the shop. He stretched out his legs to pick some grapes and stuffed them into his mouth. He said vaguely: "Not bad, not bad, how much does it cost per pound?"
Jiang Quan ran over and said, "Fifty cents per catty. Since Mingyue is the first customer, I think you'll get a discount, so I'll give you thirty-five cents per catty."
Is that customer a regular customer? He has bought fruits from his legs several times.
The servant in black curled his lips, picked a few more grapes and stuffed them into his mouth, and muttered: "Okay, okay, just thirty cents per catty, and weigh him ten catties." He took it out from the bag on his waist.
Three hundred copper coins.
While complaining about the loss, Jiang Quan weighed ten kilograms of grapes for him. Since he had nothing to put them in, he gave him a small bamboo basket as a gift.
The person who came with the servant also weighed the five pounds, paid one hundred and fifty coins, and took away a basket to fill it up without ceremony.
After the two left, Jiang Quan put all the copper coins in a wooden box and muttered: "Another loss of ten coins."
He bought those bamboo baskets from the legs of a bearer for five cents each, and reserved them for customers who bought a lot to hold fruits.
Yingbao: "Very good, not a loss."
Although grapes sell for thirty cents per catty, they are not cheap, but they are not cheap. The advantage is that these grapes are grown at home, so there is no cost. If you buy them from the county fruit shop and then sell them, you will lose money.
At that moment, Yingbao felt that her second cousin might be more suitable to be a buddy.
