He had done so many things to deserve the money, but she still felt that the payment was too little. There was really no one else who could do what she had done with such a hands-off shopkeeper.
Basically, she didn't worry about Bingjitang, and she only took a look at the workshop. Anyway, everything was in good order, much neater than her Yuyantang. Su Wan had to learn these things from her.
"Then I won't be polite to you. I don't mind the money!" Qiuniang has a very unassuming personality, and Su Wan likes to deal with her.
The matter of opening a semicolon has been decided. It should be enough to go to Suzhou and Yanzhou first and give her 10,000 taels of silver as a start-up capital.
…
Unknowingly, Su Wan and Jiang Yu had been separated for more than three months, and finally received a letter from the border.
Jiang Yu wrote that a war had broken out on the border. He found Su Chen in the new military camp and transferred him to Jiang Guogong to work with him.
Su Chen was fine, so his family didn't have to worry. He said that the knee pads made by Wan Wan were really useful and helped a lot. In the cold border, everyone had knee pain from the cold, but he was the only one who was safe and sound.
Both of them are now soldiers at the lowest level. Even with Jiang Yu's status, he still has to squeeze into Datongbu with a group of soldiers.
It was still snowing in the north, and even though Jiang Yu was wearing the most ordinary soldier's armor, it couldn't stop his innate nobility.
He and Su Chen stayed together, staying warm and eating around the campfire.
The two of them watched the fine snow in the sky evaporate when they got close to the fire. Su Chen stared at the fire in a daze, taking a sip of hot water from time to time, and sighed:
"It should have gradually warmed up in Xiangzhou now, and the flowers are blooming in spring. It's not like this border area, where everything is desolate."
It is not difficult to tell from the lines in his words that he is homesick. For more than half a year on the border, the two sides have been testing each other. He did not have the opportunity to go directly to the front line in the recruit camp.
"What, are you homesick?" Jiang Yuxiao asked.
"Think about it, how can you not think about it? Which brother here doesn't want to go home? I don't know how long it will take to finish this battle."
Su Chen sighed. They, the soldiers on the expedition, all missed home.
"It can take as long as three to five years, or as low as one or two years. It depends on how our coach arranges his troops!"
Jiang Yu was not polite at all when he commented on his father.
It is true that if these soldiers lead well and fight well, they will naturally be able to go home as soon as possible.
"Yes, it's no use just being brave. Our coach must be able to lead troops." Su Chen agreed very much with Jiang Yu's statement.
He still doesn't know that their coach is Jiang Yu's biological father!
It can only be said that Jiang Yu is too down-to-earth. Even in the noisy soldier camp, he can live calmly without any airs of a nobleman.
"Jiang Yu, come with me!"
While the two were talking, the deputy general next to the coach came over and called Jiang Yu directly by name.
It had happened several times, and now the soldiers below were all doubting Jiang Yu's identity.
This time, Duke Jiang Guo led the expedition and brought a son with him, Jiang Yu's half-brother Jiang Yan.
This Jiang Yan is also in the soldier camp, but he is not a low-key person. He publicizes his identity everywhere. Before the battle officially starts, everyone in the army camp knows that he is the son of the coach, and they all fawn over him.
Jiang Yu's surname was Jiang, and he was always summoned by the deputy general from time to time. It was difficult for everyone not to suspect that he was also a noble son who came in through the back door.
In the eyes of everyone, these children of aristocratic families are all worthless, so when they look at Jiang Yu, their eyes are not eyes, and their noses are not noses. Su Chen, who was close to Jiang Yu, was also isolated.
Jiang Yu and Su Chen looked at each other, then stood up and followed the deputy general away, to the commander's camp...
…
At the end of April, Yang Qingqing and Ye Runze held their wedding. The Ye family had a small house with two rooms in Xiangzhou City. Uncle Ye's father had already hired someone to renovate the yard and make it a wedding room for the young couple.
Their betrothal gift was not much, two hundred and eighty taels of silver, and there were some things that must be met as a betrothal gift, including a brand new set of mahogany furniture and three-gold jewelry, and there were quite a few of them.
The main reason is that they spent a sum of money to renovate their new house, and they will also need money to hold a wedding banquet later. The uncle and aunt did not ask for too much. In their opinion, as long as their daughter lives well, it will be fine.
But after more than half a year, Yang Qingqing worked as the shopkeeper of Yuyantang. She had saved more than one hundred taels of personal money, and the jewelry Su Wan had given her before and after added up to a lot of money.
She took it all as her own dowry, and her uncle even paid an additional two hundred and eighty taels for the dowry. He spent almost all his own money on it to give to his daughter as a dowry, which shows how much he values his daughter.
When Yang Qingqing got married, Su Wan used his own money to give her a headdress made of gold, which was very honorable.
Her wedding dress was also made of good material that Su's mother specially asked her aunt to pull out and sewed it herself.
Of course, she sewed the hijab herself, in the style of a mandarin duck playing in the water.
Yang Qingqing married an ordinary person, so her wedding dress was red. Unless she married into a wealthy merchant family, or was a high-ranking official, she could wear red and green wedding dresses.
When you marry, the more respectable you are, the better. If you bring a large dowry, you can hold your head high in your husband's family.
Comparing the two families, Yang Qingqing's dowry was particularly large, so she was more respectable in the eyes of her relatives in the Ye family.
It was also on the wedding day that Su Wan met Uncle Ye for the first time.
In terms of appearance, he is not extremely handsome, but he is somewhat handsome. He is about 1.8 meters tall and belongs to the young cream boy from Yushu Linfeng.
He rode a tall horse, wore a red wedding dress, and hung big red flowers and came to pick Yang Qingqing out. The two said goodbye to their uncle and aunt, and her aunt cried like a tearful person.
Su Wan still has a few steps to go out. She is a cousin and has to follow to the Ye family to accompany the bride.
The Ye family is a true native of Xiangzhou City, and the ancestral home is not too shabby after renovation. Everything in Yang Qingqing's wedding room is new.
Cousin Qingqing today is extremely beautiful. After her wedding, she sat nervously in her new house. The bed was covered with peanuts, longans and red dates, which symbolized the early birth of a child.
However, Su Wan added all those complicated jewelry to her head, which made her neck hurt.
She got up early in the morning and didn't eat much. By noon, she was starving.
Su Wan could only go out and find a few plates of snacks to prepare for her stomach.
But she didn't expect it. When she came back, she found that her cousin-in-law was there. He deliberately found an excuse to go to the latrine, and then ran to the kitchen to cook a bowl of chicken noodle soup and brought it to Yang Qingqing.
Because I was worried that she would be hungry if she didn't eat all morning.
As soon as Su Wan came in, she felt very embarrassed and quickly left.
The cousin's husband didn't stay in for long before he came out. When he saw her at the door, he nodded politely to her.
Seeing Yang Qingqing eating noodles with a happy face, Su Wan knew that she was marrying the right person. A man would always care about you and care about you. Even if the family was not so prominent, life would be easy.
