I fought back after reselling my engagement

She stood up suddenly: "Sister, I have something else to do in my room, I'll go first!"

Before Zhen Su could speak, Su Qinnan had already fled.

Xie Si Niang bowed and saluted, "Princess, I'll take my leave!"

Zhen Su called out "Spring Rain".

Chunyu came closer: "I'm here."

Zhen Su whispered, "Ask someone to check what did the Seventh Miss and Mao Yuanniang say and do today?"

The spring rain left immediately.

At noon, Zhen Su took a nap and sorted out the small notebook she wrote based on her modern memory in the room. The notebook contained a modern account book using the balanced accounting method.

A few months ago she taught this method of accounting to the bookkeepers, the managers and the shopkeepers on the farm.

Now she is drawing a Si Nan, hoping to make a more accurate compass. With a compass, she can navigate.

When she came of age, the Xie family gave her a cargo ship, which was a watercraft built with all the money of the Xie family in Luoyang. She was planning to do overseas business.

Both the Sinan and the compass can point out directions. If there is a more accurate compass, it can be used for navigation. She can draw maps of several foods such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and then ask people who go out to sea to bring them back from overseas.

In the capital, you can see people from the Western Regions, with blond hair and blue eyes. They crossed the desert and came to the Great Qi Dynasty.

But on the other side of the sea, there are other countries and new continents.

After drawing the compass, he also drew the telescope. The lens can be made of polished crystal. Although it is not as accurate as modern ones, it can also see farther by combining wood and crystal.

After Zhen Su finished drawing, he handed several blueprints to Chunyue and said, "Let the craftsmen in the mansion's workshop make them according to the blueprints."

"Yes, county lord."

Chunyue held up the design drawings.

Last time the princess went to the workshop, she saw the looms for weaving Hunan satin and the spinning machines. After she came back, she drew a blueprint for improvements. Several workers in the workshop are now improving the looms according to the blueprints.

Chunyu came in from outside and bowed.

When Zhen Su raised his hand, the little girl serving beside him retreated back to the room.

Chunyu stood by with her hands down, "I've asked someone to check. This morning, Miss Seven was at Mingzhu Pavilion in Yaxian Manor watching the competitions of the miscellaneous subjects group and the needlework group. She was sitting with the girls and wives of the Mao family."

After sitting for more than half an hour, Su Qinniang said she wanted to go to the toilet, so Mao Yuanniang went with her. The red jade hairpin was not there before she left, but appeared on her head when she came back.

The girl from the Mao family didn't find out the reason.

The maidservant beside Su Qiniang said, "The red jade hairpin was given to the seventh lady by Miss Mao. Miss Mao asked the seventh lady to bring Princess Jiarou to Mingzhu Pavilion tomorrow."

"The princess has always loved quietness and doesn't like to mingle with others."

"Miss Mao said that once the princess passes away, the red jade hairpin will be given to Miss Seven as a thank you gift."

"Why does the princess need to go?"

The maid next to Su Qinnan shook her head and said she didn't know.

Chunyu sent someone to investigate. It was found that the former fiancée of the eldest son of the Mao family had jumped into the river and disappeared after encountering bandits on the Yueyang. The Hu family intended to let his sister take her place, but the eldest son Mao somehow found out everything about Miss Hu.

From the mouths of people who were on the Yueyang at the time, it was learned that Miss Hu fell in love with Su Mo at first sight on the ship and pestered him all the way. After the pirates boarded the ship, in order to protect themselves, they sneaked into the guest room of Master Su Mo. After being rejected by Master Su Mo, they actually told the pirates that Princess Jiarou was a beauty who looked like Chang'e.

In order to protect her reputation, Princess Jiarou was forced to jump from the Yueyang into the canal.

Miss Hu thought she could protect herself, but she was raped by the three leaders of the pirates that night, and even her maid did not escape. Later, after dawn, she was rescued by the mighty General Lu Yan who was drunk, but she knew she had no face to live anymore, so she jumped into the canal.

Jumping into a river to protect one's innocence and jumping into a river out of shame and anger are completely different concepts.

After investigating the matter, the Mao family refused to marry into the Hu family again, saying that the girls from the Hu family were despicable and unworthy of being human beings.

Mao Dalang has not yet been engaged, but he confessed to his parents that he has someone in his heart.

After hearing this, Zhen Su's mind turned around, "Is it me that Master Mao loves?"

Chun Jiang was startled and said hurriedly: "This is the wishful thinking of the Mao family."

Although Miss Hu has a bad character, she is the fiancée of Mr. Mao. Now that her life or death is uncertain, the Mao family insisted on canceling the engagement.

"Miss Hu jumped into the river. Have you found her?"

"The maid has found her and bought a coffin nearby for burial. It is unknown whether Miss Hu is alive or dead."

No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.

The originally agreed marriage between Mao and Hu was for Miss Hu to return to her ancestral home to get married, but now the marriage between Mao and Hu has come to an end.

Zhen Su had some impression of the sarcastic and mean Miss Hu, and the most profound impression was her infatuation when she looked at Su Mo. She was obviously engaged, but she was sincere to another man and boldly approached and confessed her love.

Mao Yuanniang bribed Su Qinniang with a red jade hairpin and wanted to invite her to watch the Mingzhu Pavilion's admission competition tomorrow. Nothing happens without a reason in the world. Does Master Mao like her?

Zhen Su didn't even have any impression of whether Young Master Mao was tall or short, fat or thin.

For the sake of a red jade hairpin, Su Qinnan would not care about good or evil and let outsiders tell her what to do. Even though she is young now, if she does not change her temper, she will get into trouble sooner or later.

Cui was not good at teaching children, but she would spoil them. There were three children, Su Wulang, Su Qillang and Su Balang. After Su Wulang was three years old, he was taught by his maternal grandfather and uncle; Su Qillang and Su Balang were both moved to the front yard at the age of five and taught by their maternal grandfather and uncle.

As Su Qinnan was the only girl in the family, her aunt was very doting on her.

Zhen Su felt that it was necessary to discuss this matter with his grandfather and uncle.

*

That night, the bright moon was like ice and jade, and the moonlight was like water.

Zhen Su prepared the health-preserving soup, and took Chunyue and two maids to the study to deliver the soup to her grandfather.

In the study, one can see the figures of men from three generations of the Su family. The candlelight is flickering. The grandfather is instructing Su Wulang on calligraphy, the uncle is holding a book, Su Qilang is reciting an article, and Su Balang is holding a book and reading in a low voice.

It was a rare time for reading, and Zhen Su stood outside the study, feeling reluctant to disturb him.

After a long while, Su Jingzhai looked outside and asked, "Is that Wen Jiang outside the door?"

"Grandma, it's me. Tonight's health-preserving soup is ready. Eat it while it's hot." She pushed open the door of the study and said to the maid behind her, "You wait outside."

"Here——"

Zhen Su walked into the study room carrying a lunch box. He glanced at Su Qilang and Su Balang who were sitting at the desk, then looked at Su Wulang who was standing at the desk on the other side practicing calligraphy. He walked to the main desk, opened the lunch box, and scooped a bowl of health-preserving soup from the ceramic pot inside.

"This morning, Sister Seven and Sister Xie Four passed the assessment of the Pearl Society and received their membership cards. I sent them a gift, but I didn't expect someone else to send a generous gift to Sister Seven before me."

She smiled, as if to say that the two of them had passed the test.
