Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

She also wanted to say a few more words, but was afraid that if she said too much, they would misinterpret it.

In line with the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, it’s better to keep it to yourself.

Meng Bailu asked again, "What do you want from your future husband?"

"Speak up, and your father and I will keep an eye on it for you."

Ai Shutong smacked her lips twice and said, "I was still young and didn't think about these things."

Meng Bailu and Jin Hengsu looked at each other.

Jin Hengshu said directly: "You are not young anymore. Many young ladies get engaged when they are young."

"I thought that in two years, all the good men of your age would be picked up, so I wanted to find a good family for you to settle down."

Ai Shutong finally understood what these two people were up to.

But I didn't expect that they were so nice.

She thought that when Jin Hengsu wanted to sell her, he would just tie her up and send her to bed!

I have already planned how to escape, and before that, I must not make any mistakes.

If Jin Hengsu finds out anything wrong, he might be put under control.

By then, no one will be able to help you by crying out to heaven or earth, and you will be doomed.

So be sure to handle it with caution.

"Since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmaker's words have been important, and the father and mother have to pay more attention to their daughter's marriage."

Ai Shutong performed the whole act.

After she finished speaking, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and bowed to Jin Hengsu.

Jin Hengshu was very pleased and kept saying, "Good daughter, get up quickly!"

"Don't worry, your father will definitely find you a good one."

Meng Bailu said, "Master, I heard that the president has a little son who has not yet married and is very handsome. What do you think?"

Jin Hengshu agreed: "Doesn't that match our Shutong?!"

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Ai Shutong, "What do you think, Shutong?"

Ai Shutong couldn't help but sneer in her heart, haha...

It turns out he was waiting for her here!

She lowered her head, held her breath, and her face turned red. Her voice was as weak as a mosquito, "It's all up to the master."

Meng Bailu burst out laughing, "Oh my! Shutong is shy!"

Ai Shutong stamped her feet pretentiously, "Second Madam——"

The elongated tone expresses the girl's embarrassment.

Meng Bailu raised her hands in surrender, "Okay, I won't say anything more, Shutong, don't be angry."

After saying that, he turned sideways, covered his face with a handkerchief, and shook his shoulders up and down.

Ai Shutong pretended to shout, "Master, she bullied me."

Jin Hengshu pretended to be angry and patted Meng Bailu's shoulder, "Okay, as an elder, give the younger generation some face."

Only then did Meng Bailu stop.

"Master, Shutong is so polite and sensible, you can't let her down."

This is about dowry.

Ai Shutong thought the two of them were really amazing.

She had long guessed that if she was sent there, she would only be a nameless and statusless lover, not even a concubine.

Because shortly after the new government was established, it issued a ban on concubines, although many political and military figures had concubines.

But the current president is a very careful person and would never allow his son to blatantly violate the ban he issued, so she can only be his lover who lives in secrecy.

Since they are lovers, there is no need for a dowry. They can just enter the house in a sedan chair.

Since they insist on putting on a show, just accept it!

The two of them discussed and decided to use Kim Min-jeong's dowry first. It had already been carried to Chunyi Pavilion anyway, so they could just take it away when they left the house.

Ai Shutong took the opportunity to say, "The rooms in Chunyi Pavilion are filled with furniture and large items like porcelain vases!"

"I don't have any clothes or jewelry!"

"I'm going to marry into the President's family. How can I go about socializing without some clothes and jewelry?!"

"You'll be laughed at!"

After thinking for a while, he added, "By then, there will definitely be people who will misunderstand that my family is not good enough, and that will ruin the reputation of the Jin family, right?"

Jin Hengsu really didn't think of this.

He also knew that once Ai Shutong entered Liu Shunyu's backyard, she would probably never have the chance to go out again.

But what if?

What if I could go out with Liu Shunyu for social events? !

In today's society, there is no longer any distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Many officials go out for social events with their female confidantes.

What's more, this daughter is not only beautiful, but also smart.

If you think about it carefully, it is possible that Liu Shunyu could be taken down by her.

Do you want to take a gamble?

Meng Bailu saw that Jin Hengsu didn't say anything.

And Ai Shutong kept looking at him.

He quickly pushed Jin Heng's comb.

Jin Hengshu collected his thoughts and said with a smile: "Shutong is right, you don't have to go to school these days. I will ask the tailor to come to your house and make more clothes for you."

"As for the jewelry..."

"Just ask Lanting Gold Shop to send two sets of new styles."

"There are not many good things in gold shops nowadays. If there are good things, they have to be old items from the past."

"Your mother and the old lady have a lot of fine jewelry in their dowry. Ask them to prepare more for you."

Ai Shutong nodded submissively, "I'll listen to you, Master."

"But on November 9th, I want to go to the school banquet."

"That day was Christmas, the most important holiday in Western countries."

"Beman Girls' High School will hold a grand banquet, and students and parents can attend."

"It will be a very lively day. We students will exchange gifts!"

Ai Shutong acted like a naive little girl wanting a gift.

Without waiting for Jin Hengsu to nod, Meng Bailu couldn't wait to ask, "Can we go too?"

Ai Shutong nodded, "Of course."

Meng Bailu was very happy and she was trying hard to integrate into the upper class circle.

To this end, she gave away a lot of benefits.

But most of those who responded were wives of minor officials, and of course there were also some concubines from the same family as Jin Hengsu.

But she claimed to be the future mistress of the Jin Mansion, so how could she lower herself to associating with those concubines?

Once you fall into the circle of concubines, it is difficult to get out.

Of course, Jin Hengsu also wanted to take this opportunity to make more connections.

"That day, let's go and have some fun together!"

The next day, the tailor came to the door. Ai Shutong took the measurements and asked casually, "How many days will it take to get our clothes?"

The long-faced female tailor smiled and said, "Miss, you have ordered a lot of clothes. The fastest it will take is 20 days."

Ai Shutong thought, two decades is twenty days, it seems like she won’t be able to see him again before she escapes.

She nodded to the other person and thanked him with a smile.

November 2nd, cloudy.

A clerk from Lanting Gold Shop brought a box of jewelry, including gold, jade and gemstones, for Ai Shutong to choose from.

Ai Shutong looked carefully and found in the box a ruby ​​ring, a diamond ring of almost two carats, a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of gold bracelets, a pearl necklace, a gold collar, two gold hairpins, and eight pairs of gold, silver, pearl and gemstone earrings of various sizes.
