Su Mingshan looked at her carefully and suddenly said: "Su Jin, you are not young anymore. Ordinary people at your age should be ready to get married."
Su Jin's face turned pale and her mouth trembled slightly. She knew what her young lady meant.
"Miss, I'm not in a hurry, I have no such idea at the moment."
Su Mingshan ignored her and said to herself: "If you are interested in someone, just tell me. As long as the other person's character is not bad, I will do what you wish and give you a decent dowry."
Su Jin was silent. She was actually not willing to get married now.
The Su family is wealthy, and she is the eldest girl next to the young lady. She earns six coins a month, and there are additional rewards during the New Year.
As the eldest girl, she and Suyun share a room together and don't have to sleep in the Datong bunk with other girls.
Moreover, her food and clothing are better than those of girls from ordinary families.
In addition, her young lady is generous, and when she goes out, she usually dresses like a rich lady.
Sometimes if things are done beautifully, the lady will give some rewards casually.
These rewards include jewelry, silver, cloth, and of course, fresh food.
And because there are few masters in the house, the young lady is being groomed as an heir, so the girls and boys below, as well as the stewards of the shops outside, are all very attentive to them.
Those who want to show their face in front of young ladies will hope that they will help and say a few good words, so they will also send some things to them.
So, regardless of the fact that it is only six dollars a month, as long as they save a little, spend money from time to time to buy banquets in the kitchen, and treat the little sisters in the house to drinks, they can save about twenty taels in a year.
Not to mention, by following the young lady, they can learn to read and calculate accounts, and they can also see a lot of the world.
This was also the main reason why Suyun's mother dared to ask for thirty taels.
Suyun is a stupid person. If he gets any benefits every month, he will find ways to give away more than half of his money.
And she has a good mouth, so although she hasn't sent much money home these years, most of her money has been spent on treating her sisters to food and drinks.
She thought that in such a life, she would be at least eighteen or twenty years old, but unexpectedly, this trip made the young lady angry, and she wanted to marry herself!
Seeing her lowering her head and saying nothing, Su Mingshan said: "I think you are very fond of Jiang Ping'an. So, I will ask someone to ask later. If he also means that, then I will betroth you to him. Don't worry, you and I After being by my side for so many years, I will return my body deed to you and allow you to get married in a good position."
Su Jin's eyes were filled with tears. She shook her head after hearing this and said with a choked voice: "Miss, I will not marry! Su Yun has already done that. If I marry again, there will be someone around you..."
Su Mingshan interrupted her directly: "You don't have to worry about this! I can raise Suxue and Sulan from the second-class girls. They were also trained as first-class girls. I want to wait until you and Suyun get married. superior.
It's okay now. Although he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is still smart. Just wait until you know how to do it. "
Anyway, most of what they do is to patrol the branches for her when they go out, and occasionally check the accounts and so on.
After all, she is the only daughter of her father. The Su family has so many business shops that she can't take care of them by herself, so she can only ask the girl to help.
It's just that this kind of thing is not irreplaceable, so as a girl, don't take yourself too seriously and think that the master must be her!
Obviously, Su Jin has committed this taboo again.
Even if she doesn't get married, there will be no room for her by her side!
Su Jin lowered his head, tears dripping down.
After hearing her young lady's resolute words, she knew that the matter was irreversible, and she was secretly annoyed at herself.
She understood where she was wrong, but she felt that she was doing it for the good of the young lady. Why didn't the young lady understand?
Su Mingshan ignored her. When the carriage arrived at the door of Li Jun's house in Lijiaao, she was greatly relieved when she saw Li Yuan.
"Didn't you go back?"
When Li Yuan saw Su Mingshan, she was full of doubts.
She heard Wang Can say that Su Mingshan went back on the afternoon of the 15th, so she shouldn't be here now.
Also, even if the other party couldn't go back because of the snow, he should still be in the inn in Liufeng County at this time.
Even if she returned to Liuyun County, it was such a cold day. If she couldn't just stay indoors, why would she be here?
What to do if something goes wrong due to the cold along the way?
Su Mingshan looked shy, but her tone was calm and generous as she said: "Sister Li, I originally rushed to Fucheng the afternoon before yesterday, but it started to snow in the evening, and I was forced to come back before I reached Liufeng County.
But after I came back, many inns had been closed, so I had no choice but to smash the door of Xie's house and stay in.
I have to apologize for this, because when I talked to Xie Xiucai and Jiang Pingan, it was in the name of you and Wang Can allowing me to live there. "
Li Yuan was surprised when she heard this, "You broke down the door and moved in?"
When did this girl become so violent? But as long as the person is fine, just smash it.
Thanks brother, let her explain!
Su Mingshan was afraid of misunderstanding, so she hurriedly explained: "Sister Li, I'm really sorry. I wanted to stay in an inn, but it's not very open now. And I was delayed at Jiang's house yesterday. I moved out of Jiang's house temporarily at night and couldn't find it. It was really a helpless move to reach our final destination.
I know it's not good to use your name when talking to Xie Xiucai. I apologize to you, and I also ask you not to be angry and ask Xie Xiucai and I to apologize solemnly. "
Having said this, she paused and continued: "Mr. Li is the benefactor of my family. He and Miss Wang are about to get engaged. We, the Su family, should give him a generous gift because of our feelings and reasons.
I came here today because I wanted to live here. After all, there is no way to stay in the inn now. Xie's family, it's not appropriate for Su Jin and I to continue living there.
Of course, your home is not spacious, and Brother Li and the others are not married, so it is not suitable for me to live there. See if you can find me a home with an extra room, and I'll pay for room and board. "
As she spoke, she handed the wooden box she had prepared on the way to Li Yuan: "This is my gift to your house. I hope you like it!"
Li Yuan saw the carved sandalwood box and the apology in Su Mingshan's words. She noticed Xie Yanzhi coming and said.
"Brother Xie, I'm sorry, I didn't know Miss Su would break down the door of your house. Their master and servant couldn't go back in time because of me. If your door is broken or something, I'll find a carpenter to open it again later. ."
Then he looked at Su Mingshan: "The owner of the house is here, you can just say sorry to him. In addition, if you are looking for a place to live before the snow stops, my grandma's house has a vacant room. If you If you don't mind, I'll ask about my breasts.
They say you are a guest when you come to your door, so don't talk about paying. Furthermore, you can’t go back because of me. If you want to apologize, that means I am saying sorry to you! "
She would make an agreement with the old house, and even if she had to subsidize the old house, she would do it herself.
After all, the reason why Su Mingshan stayed here and did not go back was because of her.
The two children were able to change their surnames because they accepted her love.
In addition, people came to her house and sent congratulatory gifts. Even without opening the wooden box, she knew that the items inside were expensive, so it made no sense for them to continue to pay for living here.
Su Mingshan also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't let her go and instead arranged to go to the old house.
"Xie Xiucai, I'm sorry for breaking down your door. No matter what the reason was this time, what I did was wrong. Please don't be angry.
In addition, one person is responsible for the work. I will compensate you for what you have to pay, and I will change the door lock for you before I go back. If you don't mind if you get married to Sister Li in the future, just send a post to my house.
Even if I can't come over later, I will definitely send you a congratulatory gift. If you want to continue the scientific examination and participate in Qiuwei, I can arrange a quiet place for you! "
