A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

When Chen Shijun saw Yingzi, his face was also full of tenderness.

"Yingzi, I've been busy these days, so I haven't come to see you. Are you okay?"

Yingzi hurriedly said, "Master Chen, I know you are very busy. You don't have to worry about us. Business is more important."

Shen Qingqian stood up and said, "Master Chen, please come in and sit down! I'll go out and see what we're having for dinner. You guys can chat slowly."

After saying that, Shen Qingqian went out. Yingzi invited Chen Shijun in, and they sat down face to face.

Chen Shijun took out an exquisite little box, opened it, handed it to Yingzi, and said, "Yingzi, this is what I bought for you today. Do you like it?"

Yingzi looked over and saw a white jade hairpin lying in the box.

Yingzi's heart started beating wildly and her face turned red.

"Master Chen, isn't this a bit too expensive? I..."

Chen Shijun looked at her happy and shy expression, and his love for her grew stronger. He took out a hairpin and put it in her bun with his own hands.

"It looks good. It suits you very well."

Chen Shijun looked at Yingzi lovingly and said.

Yingzi lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you, Master Chen."

Chen Shijun did not stay long, and left after talking to Yingzi for a while. However, this meeting made Chen Shijun more certain that he really liked Yingzi and he must marry Yingzi, and he would not marry anyone else!

However, his beautiful ideas and determination were completely extinguished when he returned home.

As soon as he returned home, his parents told him that they had exchanged engagement letters with the Chu family today and his marriage had been settled!

His parents told him that they were just informing him and not discussing it with him.

Chen Shijun was stunned! He felt his heart sink to the bottom!

He didn't understand why his parents, who had always loved him, would ignore his feelings and insist on making their own decisions in this matter?

At this point, Chen Shijun did not argue with his parents anymore. He turned around and went back to his room without saying a word.

Here, Shen Qingqian saw the hairpin on Yingzi's head and said directly: "The hairpin is very beautiful. Is it given to you by Master Chen?"

Yingzi's face showed a secret joy, and she nodded and said, "Yes, girl."

Shen Qingqian looked at her and asked, "Yingzi, do you like Mr. Chen?"

Faced with this straightforward question, Yingzi felt a little embarrassed but still nodded seriously.

Then, she asked Shen Qingqian with hope: "Miss, what do you think of Mr. Chen?"

In Shen Qingqian's opinion, Chen Shijun was a good person, but she only knew Chen Shijun himself and knew nothing about his family or other situations.

She organized her words and said, "Master Chen is very nice. He gave you such a nice gift. It can be seen that he likes you.

But, has he ever promised you anything? For example, when will he marry you? "

"what?"

Yingzi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully. It seemed that Mr. Chen had never said these things. So she shook her head honestly and said, "No."

Shen Qingqian said earnestly: "Yingzi, since you both have each other in your hearts, you must think about this issue. If you just like each other and have no intention of getting married, it is absolutely not advisable."

When Shen Qingqian said this, Yingzi understood what she meant and said, "Miss, you are right. Next time when Mr. Chen comes, I will explain the matter to him clearly and ask him what he thinks."

Shen Qingqian was very pleased. Although Yingzi was simple, she was also clear-headed. She said, "Yingzi, if you believe me, when Master Chen comes, let me talk to him! If he really wants to marry you, I will make the decision to arrange your marriage; if he doesn't want to, you can stop the loss in time."

Yingzi said, "Miss, of course I believe you. You are right. If I cannot marry Master Chen, what we are doing now would be a secret marriage. If Grandpa knew about it, he would not agree."

Shen Qingqian was very happy that she thought so. She pinched her pretty face and teased, "Don't worry, our Yingzi is so good. Master Chen doesn't know how much he wants to marry you home!"

"girl!"

Yingzi pretended to be angry.

After talking to Yingzi for a while, Shen Qingqian went to the next room to find Zhang Sheng.

"Zhang Sheng, please go back to Ping'an Town tomorrow and tell my second brother to arrange for two trucks of vegetables to be sent over. Also, bring two trucks of coal."

"it is good!"

Zhang Sheng agreed and said, "I saw Madam Yang come here today. Is there any progress on the coal issue?"

Shen Qingqian shook her head and said, "No. This Lord Chu is deliberately keeping us hanging and refuses to meet us."

Zhang Sheng frowned, "What is the girl going to do? Is there any other plan for pulling two trucks of coal here?"

"Well! Originally, I thought that I could sell the coal directly to the court to save time and effort. Now it seems that dealing with this Lord Chu is not only not easy, but more troublesome!

In this country of Great Yue, coal is a scarce commodity. Since this Lord Chu is not sincere, I have no choice but to find another way to sell it. "

"Girl, I'm glad you have a solution. I'll go back to Ping'an Town tomorrow morning."

The next day, Chen Shijun received an imperial edict from the emperor, and he officially began to take up his post in the Hanlin Academy.

Chen's father and mother were extremely happy. They had just arranged the marriage with the Chu family yesterday, and today the emperor's appointment came down. It was truly a double happiness for their family!

Chen Shijun couldn't be happy, he didn't know how to face Yingzi next?

So much so that in the next few days, he didn't dare go to the inn to find Yingzi again.

Zhang Sheng returned to the capital on the first day of February, and he was accompanied by Shen Qingfeng and Liu Shuyao.

Shen Qingqian was very happy to see them, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Shen Qingfeng said, "I heard that things weren't going well for you, so I came here with Zhang Sheng to see if there's anything I can do to help you.

Your second sister-in-law has never been to the capital, so I want to take this opportunity to take her out for a walk."

Shen Qingqian was a little jealous of Liu Shuyao. Why did she marry such a good man like her second brother?

Shen Qingqian had been walking around the capital for a few days and had a rough idea of ​​where it was. She knew where the slums were, where the rich areas were, where the markets were, where the restaurants were, and even where the imperial palace was!

That night, she took Shen Qingfeng and his wife, Yingzi and Zhang Sheng to a restaurant called "Heguangyan".

Heguangyan is not very big in Beijing, but it has a very good reputation and is very famous.

The restaurant has two floors. The first floor is the lobby, which is beautifully decorated and has a splendid feel.

The second floor has booths separated by hollow screens and covered with gauze, which looks very elegant and has a completely different style from the first floor.

The business here is very good, and the booths on the second floor have to be reserved two days in advance.

Shen Qingqian and her friends decided to come here for dinner at the last minute, so there were no seats left on the second floor, so they sat in the lobby on the first floor.
