Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

On the ox cart, many people's eyes were on Xie Jiaojiao's backpack, but Xie Jiaojiao covered it tightly and did not let them see anything!

When we get to the town, we will definitely go straight to Qingfeng Tower.

Shopkeeper Chen is counting the accounts at the desk.

As soon as he saw her coming, he immediately walked over respectfully. He had heard a few days ago that this was the day to announce the good news. Xie Jiaojiao was now the eldest lady of his family and would not be able to escape!

"Miss Xie, are you here again today?" Shopkeeper Chen asked as he took her backpack.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled brightly: "Shopkeeper Chen, I'm here to do another food business with you!"

As long as Xie Jiaojiao said she wanted to do food business, Manager Chen would definitely be happy.

But when Xie Jiaojiao took out the mountain crabs, Shopkeeper Chen was a little confused again.

"Thank you, Miss. Can this be eaten?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Why not? The turtle has a shell, so we still eat it as usual, don't we?"

After hearing her analogy, Shopkeeper Chen was immediately speechless.

Xie Jiaojiao didn't hesitate: "Manager Chen, can you lend me the kitchen? I'll show you my skills."

"I dare not, I dare not!" Shopkeeper Chen said he dared not and made a gesture of invitation with one hand.

Xie Jiaojiao picked up the backpack and followed.

When we arrived at the kitchen, the cooks were busy working.

When they saw Xie Jiaojiao come in, they all looked at them.

Shopkeeper Chen asked all the cooks to leave.

Only Xie Jiaojiao was left inside, and after a while, bursts of fragrance came from inside.

Everyone is greedy.

Xie Jiaojiao opened the door and said with a smile: "Everyone come and try it!"

A large pot of spicy crabs was placed on the stove.

Shopkeeper Chen is quite knowledgeable when it comes to eating. You can tell how delicious this thing is the moment you take a bite.

He didn't have time to eat the rest, so he immediately asked Xie Jiaojiao how she made this thing? He paid for it!

Xie Jiaojiao didn't ask for much: "Shopkeeper Chen, if you really want this recipe, I'll sell it to you for five taels of silver. But if you want mountain crabs, can you buy them from me first?"

The two hit it off immediately!

The crabs were brought by Xie Jiaojiao at eight cents a pound, and Shopkeeper Chen took them all. Xie Jiaojiao told Shopkeeper Chen how to make them, took the money, and left with the basket on her back.

Shopkeeper Chen walked her to the door, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My young master is still a man of vision!"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Weinan arrived. Shopkeeper Chen immediately said, "Young Master, we have some new food in our store today. Would you like to try it?"

"Hey, you old man, can you come up with something new?"

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "It was made by Miss Xie. It's delicious..."

When Jiang Weinan heard that Xie Jiaojiao was coming, he left immediately!

Shopkeeper Chen pointed at his back and said to the waiter, "Look, the young master is chasing Miss Xie again. It really feels like a long time since we last met!"

Just as he finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao came back.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the direction where his young master disappeared, then glanced at the direction where Miss Xie came back, and sighed. This young master...

"Thank you for coming back, what else?"

Miss Xie looked at Shopkeeper Chen and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, do you know the Jiang family in the county?"

Shopkeeper Chen and the waiter looked at each other, then looked at Xie Jiaojiao and asked, "Miss Xie, what is the matter that you are asking about?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Just ask around!"

"Oh? Ask around. The Jiang family is a big family in our county. The Jiang family's business is spread all over the country..."

"So powerful?" Xie Jiaojiao murmured.

Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "That's right!"

Xie Jiaojiao tried hard to force a smile: "Thank you, Manager Chen."

Seeing Xie Jiaojiao leave, the waiter asked Shopkeeper Chen: "Shopkeeper, don't you tell Miss Xie that our restaurant and part of the business in the town are all owned by the Jiang family?"

Shopkeeper Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't say anything. The young master hasn't said anything yet, so what should we say?"

"Oh!"

Xie Jiaojiao carried a basket on her back and went to the town to buy some meat and flour. She also bought two sets of clothes for Xie Zhiyi, as she had promised him last time.

When I passed by a jewelry store, I couldn't help it and went in with my backpack to take a look.

The shop owner did not look down on her because of her simple attire, but instead introduced the jewelry in the store seriously.

Xie Jiaojiao looked around and set her eyes on a plum blossom hairpin.

Asked the price.

"This one is hollow and not expensive, only one or two taels of silver."

Xie Jiaojiao thought it was very suitable for Sun Ruhua and paid for it immediately. She also took a fancy to a small box, which was just right for using as a decoration for Sun Ruhua. Seeing her straightforwardness, the proprietress also became straightforward and told her that if she wanted it, she only had to give her five cents. Xie Jiaojiao then took it as well.

Seeing that it was getting late, he hurried towards the town entrance.

As luck would have it, she saw Jiang Weinan. This time Xie Jiaojiao did not run away, but took the initiative to walk up to him.

Jiang Weinan was very surprised...

Xie Jiaojiao looked around him and saw that the two followers had not caught up with him.

Seeing Xie Jiaojiao approaching, Jiang Weinan felt a little uneasy.

Xie Jiaojiao stood in front of Jiang Weinan: "Did you ask the matchmaker to go to my house to announce the date?"

"What? You don't want to get married? If you don't get married, my old man is very proud and will definitely not let your family have an easy life!"

Xie Jiaojiao stared at Jiang Weinan. She had previously wanted to beat him up and scare him so that he would not want to marry her, but now she had changed.

"No, I will marry you. I've thought it through. Since you want to disgust me by marrying me, then I'll marry you. I'll disgust you too! Anyway, I'll marry anyone, so I might as well marry you. At least your family is rich and you have good conditions, right?"

Jiang Weinan stared at her with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that these words could come out of her mouth.

"What? Are you so happy that you're dumb?"

"Will you really marry me?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Yes, I will marry you, but can we change the date? My mother said that next year is a widow's year and it is not suitable for marriage. Can we set it for the year after next?"

Jiang Weinan didn't know why he agreed to Xie Jiaojiao's request.

Maybe it was because she was happy in her heart, but thinking about what Xie Jiaojiao said, at least your family is rich and well-off, she felt unhappy. It turned out that she was just like other women, and she was only interested in his family's money!

Xie Jiaojiao returned home and told Sun Ruhua what she had found out.

Sun Ruhua sat down on the stool and held Xie Jiaojiao's hand: "Jiaojiao, this is all mother's fault. It's all mother's fault for making decisions for you!"

"Mom, don't blame yourself. His family conditions, and our family background, being able to marry him, in your heart is already very good. I know you just want me to marry well!"

When every mother considers her daughter's marriage, most of them care most about the conditions, fearing that their daughter will suffer after marriage!

In Sun Ruhua's eyes, aren't the Jiang family's conditions extremely good?

Xie Jiaojiao hugged Sun Ruhua's shoulders: "Okay, mother, I'm fine, and I've also told the young master of the Jiang family that I'll marry him the year after next. Who knows what will happen in the meantime!"

After saying that, he took out the box and said, "I bought this for you in town today. Take a look."

Sun Ruhua opened the box and the hairpin felt heavy in her hand: "This thing is not cheap, right? Mom is already this old, you can buy it for yourself, no need to buy it for me!"

Xie Jiaojiao took the hairpin from her hand: "I bought it for you, just take it!"

After saying that, he put it on her head.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled: "My mother is so beautiful!"

Sun Ruhua's old face turned red: "Stop talking nonsense! I'm already old, what's the big deal about me being pretty or not." While saying this, she gently raised her hand and stroked the hair on her temples.

Xie Zhiyi also came in at this time and said, "Wow, Mom, you are so beautiful!"

Looking at the son and daughter, Sun Ruhua felt very happy. This was the first time she received such a valuable gift, except for a silver-plated hairpin her husband bought her when the family was a little better off. But she was not happy for a few seconds before the voice of Xie Zhili, the unfilial son, rang out outside: "Mother! Are you there?"
