"Walking to my house, my grandmother has been talking about you. It's a good opportunity. Tell me what happened just now. Didn't Jinzhi say that you encountered a thief? Why didn't you see the thief?"

The eldest and second brothers who were following behind also pricked up their ears.

Shen Yunjin had no choice but to talk about the important points.

"You said those kneeling people were all thieves? Why did the King of Qi recruit them? Doesn't that mean they are corrupt?"

"Don't you allow others to mend their ways?" Shen Yunjin rolled his eyes in an inelegant manner.

"That person wouldn't have any improper thoughts about you, right? Jin'er!"

Thinking of this, Wang Zhaozhao looked at her best friend worriedly. Could the King of Qi swallow this?

"The prince is not an ordinary person, you don't have to worry." Shen Yunjin patted her best friend's hand.

"Miss, are you okay?" Jinzhi, who was standing at the gate of the mansion, ran over and pulled Shen Yunjin to look left and right.

"It's okay, it's okay, your young lady is fine, stop crying, it makes your young lady feel distressed seeing her in tears."

Seeing that the young lady was still in the mood to tease her, Jinzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"By the way, is grandma feeling better?" Shen Yunjin asked, holding Wang Zhaozhao's hand.

"Much better now, thanks to the doctor introduced by the King of Qi. Grandmother has been talking about thanking you!"

"Why thank you? Your family is my family. Look, when I was in danger today, you and your brothers came right over."

The two brothers following behind her couldn't help but laugh. This girl is really cute.

Shen Yunjin and a few others went to the courtyard where Wang Zhaozhao's grandmother lived. Coincidentally, Mrs. Wang was there too.

"Yun Jin has met grandmother and aunt."

"Hey, come sit next to grandma and let grandma take a closer look."

Shen Yunjin walked over obediently and sat down next to her.

"Grandma is partial. Once she sees the pretty young wife, she no longer loves Zhaozhao. But Zhaozhao won't agree."

Wang Zhaozhao sat on the other side of his grandmother like a playful kid, holding her hand like twisting candy and acting coquettishly.

"It hurts, it hurts all of them, they are all good children." Grandma laughed happily.

"You are so grown up, yet you still act like a spoiled child. As a mother, I will feel relieved if you could be like Jin'er." Mrs. Wang looked at her daughter with disdain.

"Grandma, Zhaozhao doesn't want to not get married." Wang Zhaozhao blushed.

"Why wouldn't a woman marry? Come on, tell grandma what kind of man Zhao Zhao wants to marry?"

"Your aunt wrote to me a few days ago saying that her father has a very good deputy general under him. Don't you dislike those red tape? I heard that the general was promoted to deputy general in just half a year. He is very capable and her father is very optimistic about him."

This candidate is the one that Mrs. Wang is most satisfied with at the moment.

Her second daughter has always hated evil and spoken bluntly since she was young. She didn't know how much she had worried about him.

Given my daughter's personality, marrying into a wealthy and powerful family would mean she would be making an enemy instead of a relative.

If her daughter married into an ordinary family, she would feel that she was being unfair to her daughter.

Although the candidate introduced by the eldest sister-in-law is not as good as the wealthy families in Beijing, if the deputy general makes meritorious service in the future, his future will be no worse than that of the wealthy families.

Moreover, the daughter is marrying down, and her husband's family will treat her well for this reason.

Shen Yunjin's heart skipped a beat.

It turns out that nothing has changed, it's just a different way of doing things.

No, she must find a way to stop this marriage.

"Now that auntie has mentioned this, even I feel he is a good person. I don't know his name, I will ask my prince to help me find out what his character is like."

"I think his name is Cao Meng. Yes, that's the name, Cao Meng!"

"Okay, Jin'er has made a note of it. I heard from my prince that the border has been unstable recently. Will there be another war? At that time, will Cao Meng go to the battlefield? What if, I mean, what if something happens? After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield."

Shen Yunjin's words made everyone present ponder.

"Zhao Zhao is in her prime, and a daughter is wanted by many families. There is no need to rush. We can take our time to find one. Aunt, have you ever thought of marrying Zhao Zhao to the capital so that she can be taken care of?"

Mrs. Wang sighed. Shen Yunjin was the same age as Wang Zhaozhao and was already married.

She actually thought about leaving her daughter in Beijing, but when she thought about her daughter's personality, she felt really embarrassed.

"Oh, aunt, I inspected the shop today and found that there are many excellent candidates for this year's autumn exam. How about finding one among them? At least, I don't have to worry about my son-in-law losing his life."

"What Yunjin said is true. You should choose again. I don't want my granddaughter to become a widow after marrying him."

"Mother, I don't want to either. I'll write back to my sister-in-law and tell her I'll think about it."

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she turned her head and said, "Yunjin, if you find a suitable candidate, please remember to tell your aunt."

"Aunt, this is for sure. Zhao Zhao is my best friend."

After having lunch at Wang Zhaozhao's house, Shen Yunjin prepared to go back.

There was a shop she hadn't visited today, and she was thinking about when to go and see it.

"Come on, I'll go with you. I know a little bit of self-defense and I can protect you."

Wang Zhaozhao knew about Shen Yunjin's dilemma and immediately offered to accompany her.

Wang Zhaozhao had a dream of becoming a martial arts hero since he was young, so he had been clamoring to learn martial arts since he was a child.

Later, Wang's father could no longer persuade the master, so he found a martial arts master to teach his sons martial arts, and Wang Zhaozhao was an auditor.

Shen Yunjin immediately stopped being shy. She had arranged a schedule and would feel uncomfortable if she didn't finish it today.

Shen Yunjin's bookstore was not far from Wang Zhaozhao's home, and Mrs. Wang also arranged for servants from the mansion to follow her.

It was quiet inside the "Shede" bookstore, with only a few people choosing books inside.

There was a scholar sitting upright copying a book, turning the pages very carefully.

Shen Yunjin took Wang Zhaozhao inside. The bookstore was very large, about 80 to 90 square meters.

The shelves were filled with books from top to bottom. Shen Yunjin flipped through them and found they were handwritten copies.

"Where is the shopkeeper?" Wang Zhaozhao asked puzzledly.

"The shopkeeper has something to do at home, so I'm going back. If there is any book you like, please tell me."

The scholar who was copying the book did not turn around, but kept writing while he replied.

Shen Yunjin found some books on astronomy and geography, while Wang Zhaozhao found some storybooks.

"Excuse me, how much are these books worth?" Wang Zhaozhao asked with a red face.

"Please wait a moment." As he said this, the scholar finished writing the last word on his hand.

Then, he carefully pressed the book with a paperweight and placed the brush on the pen holder next to him. Then he lowered his sleeves and walked over.

Shen Yunjin took a look and found that it was an acquaintance!
