Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Shen Lingzhu immediately offered to give him a pair of solid wooden rocking chairs as a thank you, and asked him to take his uncle with him when he returned to Beijing.

Finally, she added, "This way, my uncle won't have to waste time queuing for a medical examination, and you'll have one more gift for your mother-in-law."

"You save not only time, but also the city entrance fee and food and lodging fees. I'm only giving you two rocking chairs, but I'll give you two more." Zhuang Baibu didn't ask for too much. He had encountered such things before, and he didn't ask for much from them.

Shen Lingzhu was about to agree when he was stopped by his uncle. He said frankly that he needed to think about it. Zhuang Baibu did not force him and let them do as they pleased.

After the three of them left, the senior sister asked, "Do you think four handfuls of four ounces of silver are expensive?"

Huang Zongqi nodded repeatedly and said, "Four pieces means four taels, which is not cheap.

Normally, it’s more than enough for your seventh uncle and I to make a round trip.”

Fortunately, I didn’t bring the newly made Huanghuali wood chair made by Lu Ji with me, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money if I exchanged it with someone else.

He said, "Dazhuzi, don't talk about borrowing his connections after you come to Beijing. Even if you drop a tile, you can hit the land of several royal relatives. Hundreds and thousands of households are not enough.

The only advantage of following him is that I don't have to show my pass every time I enter a city, which reduces the risk of being caught, but what about when I come back?"

"Have you ever thought about asking him to help you get a pass to the government office as a guarantor?" There are always hidden dangers in buying fake passes, and Shen Miaozhu would of course like to get the real one if there is a chance.

Shen Lingzhu also hoped that her uncle would be safe with Zhuang Baibu. "Will he be willing to guarantee it?"

Shen Miaozhu: "Add two bellows made of high-quality wood for his family and his father-in-law's use.

If two are not enough, add two more.”

"If I were him, I would ask for two more chairs." Huang Zongqi thought it would be easier to buy a pass and go himself.

His two nieces tried to persuade him, but he insisted that there were only four chairs at most and that there was no need to add any more. He also said that one should not trust too much the people he knew through just a few transactions.

He said, "Xiao Zhuzi, ask him if he is willing."

Shen Lingzhu agreed: "Okay, uncle and second sister will pick things first, I may come back to you later."

"Forget it, I'll talk to him." Huang Zongqi only asked her to pass on a message, but he would not let her leave his sight for too long.

But he never expected that Zhuang Baisui agreed to be a guarantor without raising the price, and was willing to wait for Shen He to arrive and go to the government office together to handle the matter.

What was even more unexpected was that even though someone had already helped him to get a pass from the government office, his two nieces still insisted on buying a few tickets at the pawnshop.

"Buy one for Shen He and me just in case. Why do you two have to buy one too?" Maybe he is still planning to go to Beijing.

Shen Miaozhu: "Uncle, take a look at these two. I'm from Hejian and I'm going to Beijing to visit my relatives."

“When you and Uncle Qi come back, we can go to Zhending from the capital.

Passes with people close to our age are hard to come by." Shen Lingzhu pointed to the ages and names listed. There were two girls, one fifteen and one ten, so it wouldn't seem out of place for her and her senior sister to use them.

Huang Zongqi was worried about the two of them keeping the gifts, so when he took away the pass, Zhuang Baibu had already returned to Chen Ru's private residence with the gifts he had chosen.

While he was still thinking proudly about his wife's smile when she saw the gift, he noticed that his brothers were walking lighter than usual.

After asking, I found out that the sour air of a scholar in the boss had come up again.

He had no choice but to take out half a bottle of golden basin dew from his treasured collection to comfort his boss.

"When did you hide this?" Jinpen Lu Shui is a famous wine in Chuzhou. It has the effect of both medicinal wine and food. It is very expensive and its price can be increased several times when it is transported to Baozhou.

Chen Ru himself had the opportunity to drink it a few years ago when he visited his uncle in the south.

"Hey. I bought this secretly when I accompanied you to the south a long time ago." Zhuang Baibu filled his glass with wine. "I heard that you were feeling unwell after seeing the Shen brothers today. Drink two glasses to invigorate your blood.

It’s been a few years, you have to move on.”

Chen Ru picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp: "Tsk, you know what I'm thinking? I didn't persuade him to do anything."

"Hey, isn't it just a woman?" Zhuang Baibu remembered that his leader was a member of the young and successful team, and his fiancée died of illness.

Her younger sister, Xiao Xue, was unwilling to marry into the Chen family on her sister's behalf. She deliberately used the guards around her to mock the boss, saying that he had a good career as a scholar but chose to be a warrior and had no ambition.

A young man who had won several battles was in high spirits, but when someone pointed at his nose and belittled him, he couldn't help but draw his sword.

Then, before anything could be done, little Xue's loud cry for help caused relatives and friends to misunderstand the boss, which resulted in the boss still not getting married.

And since then, whenever his boss saw a woman coming in or out with guards, he would look unhappy.

Zhuang Baibu himself would not mention these old events clearly, he just said: "I met the Shen brothers at the pawnshop.

And they promised their uncle to bring him to Beijing."

Chen Ru frowned slightly: "Two little girls are going too?

They are really too arrogant. With their small bodies, they are going to Beijing to do business. I don’t know if they can withstand the harassment from the Duke of Zhongguo and his men."

"They won't go. After their uncle leaves, they will be escorted home by their relatives and friends." Zhuang Baibu poured him another glass of wine.

Chen Ru raised his hand to block his movement, "You want to tell me that the people around them are not guards, right?"

"Boss is indeed a scholar, his guesses are always correct."

“Why should I help others clarify?”

"For your sake, Boss, you're already twenty-one, it's time for you to get married.

I think Miss Shen is a good girl. Although she is still young, she is calm and steady. She can cook and do business.

The most important thing is that he comes from a farming and scholarly family, which suits your taste..."

"It's a random matchmaking. I am ten years older than her." Each family knows its own business. Chen Ru inherited his father's position and did not take the imperial examination again because he knew that the best he could do in the imperial examination was to become a scholar.

But he and his father didn't want their descendants to become soldiers and go to the battlefield, so his father carefully selected a daughter of a civil servant for him.

Unfortunately, the other party died early and they were not destined to be together.

"No, the age difference is less than nine years. We can get engaged first and get married in three years." Zhuang Baibu said the same thing as Shen Bagu.

Chen Ru shook his head: "Just now you said that I should get married at the age of twenty-one, and now I have to wait for another three years, and I will be twenty-four by then."

"Two years is fine." Zhuang Baibu felt that his boss had come to the Shen family several times to buy things, probably because he liked the cool and bookish air of Miss Shen.

Chen Ru snatched the bottle and said, "You're getting more and more ridiculous. To put it nicely, it's as if I value a little girl so much.

To put it bluntly, I'm a pedophile... Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore.

As for you bringing people to the capital, as long as you don't show off on the road, it's up to you. Now go and receive the Ten Military Sticks."

"Ah? Why?"

"Make up all this nonsense about me."

"How can matchmaking be called choreography? And it's true that you frequently visit the Shen family."

Chen Ru: "Add two more sticks."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Zhuang Baibu ran to receive the punishment, muttering that it was a pity for Miss Shen.

Shen Miaozhu, whom he had taken a fancy to, was now heading to the carpenter's house introduced by Taoist Chen with her junior sister.
