Chapter 109: Great Victory at the Border
When Madam Su heard this, she glared at Su Shengsheng helplessly, "Grandma, why did you say that?"
Her granddaughter had invented a horseless carriage, claiming it could carry people a thousand miles a day. She had also heard this from the servants.
He also gave the young master of the Ji family, who was unable to walk, an explanatory booklet and told him that he must take the exam.
He also asked Zaiqing to learn how to drive the car for long distances, saying that he would send Master Ji to Shangdu after his leg injury healed.
She had heard all these things.
Originally, because the young master of the Ji family was injured while saving his granddaughter, delaying the imperial examination, they felt a little guilty, so they let their granddaughter suffer.
Unexpectedly, the car caused a huge sensation when it was first tested in the small town.
If this thing is really as useful as an excavator, it would not be difficult to travel up and down.
In this way, the young master of the Ji family might still be able to catch up with the imperial examination, and they can rest assured.
But unexpectedly, Mrs. Ji chose to write to me at this time.
Now that the Su family has overcome the difficulties, if the Ji family only cares about this matter and their granddaughter is unwilling to return to the Li family, they can also give up their business.
The Su family has already bought several shops, from which they can collect rent or farm in the future to make a living without having to drag down the Ji family.
But for this marriage, if I want to meet a good son-in-law, I'm afraid it will be difficult...
After all, the Su family is known as a criminal family. Which good family would be willing to marry into the Su family?
The first and second wives secretly looked for suitable marriages for several younger generations. Either the Su family looked down on them, or they looked down on the Su family.
Old Madam Su knew that nothing had been decided yet.
Su Shengsheng smiled brightly and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, with the talent of the young master of the Ji family, it would be a shame if he didn't become an official. And what about me~"
She deliberately prolonged her voice, which really aroused her grandmother's curiosity. "What's wrong with you?"
"If my granddaughter really wants to find a husband, she should find someone who can earn more than me. Otherwise, what kind of man is he if he spends my granddaughter's money?"
Mrs. Su was ashamed of her saying such nonsense, "This little girl really has her eyes looking up to the sky."
With so many obstacles in the world now, who can earn more money than her?
You can't just stay single for your whole life, right?
In fact, Su Shengsheng really thought so in her heart, but this kind of thinking was non-mainstream even in her previous life, and not many people could accept it.
She knew that she had to eat one bite at a time, so she didn't say too much.
Now, as long as we can cancel this marriage, everything will be easy in the future.
"Grandma, I'm glad you're smiling." Su Shengsheng took advantage of the opportunity to continue, "My granddaughter and the young master of the Ji family are indeed not suitable. He is an excellent person. If his career goes smoothly in the future, he will also benefit the people."
Not to mention the long-standing friendship between the two families, even if it was Ji Yanli's kindness in saving her from the fire, the two families would not turn against each other because of the marriage.
Madam Su also knew that her granddaughter was trying to make her happy, so she just sighed and said, "Young Master Ji is indeed a good boy with noble character."
She didn't say anything further, but she knew that if she continued with this marriage without thinking, it would be unfair to her granddaughter.
In the past, when the Ji family didn’t say it explicitly, they could pretend not to know, just to give their granddaughter a good place to go.
But now, Mrs. Ji has made her attitude clear. If they still want to pretend that nothing happened, they will not be able to get away with it.
This marriage still needs the consent of my parents...
Seeing that Old Lady Su hadn't said anything else after she finished speaking, Li couldn't help but get anxious: "My daughter, I see that the young master of the Ji family has you in his heart. Please don't be confused."
"Mother," Su Shengsheng said somewhat helplessly, "Even if it wasn't me today and it was Fourth Sister who was betrothed to Master Ji, he would still save her. And if the Su family fell into trouble, he would definitely not regret the engagement."
Everyone in the Su family believed this.
Although this matter still needs to be discussed in detail with the old man, Mrs. Su knows very well that once the Ji family mentions the burden, the old man will definitely give up this marriage.
However, this matter still needs the return of the Su family man before a decision can be made.
She patted the back of Su Shengsheng's hand and sighed, "I really wronged you."
How could she not see her granddaughter's good intentions?
These two children are both excellent, but they have been implicated...
After Old Master Su returned from Ji Yanli's place, Old Madam Su thought about it for a while and finally handed the letter to him.
This marriage was originally arranged by Old Master Su and Old Master Ji. If you want to cancel the engagement, you need a thorough reason.
Old Master Su took the letter and understood what was going on: "My brother must have been disturbed by this incident."
With Ji Yanli's talent, it is indeed a waste of his talent to live in this barren border area.
How could parents in the world not plan for their children's careers when they have such outstanding children?
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Su couldn't help but sigh, "Sheng's point is that even if we cancel the engagement, we shouldn't let the two families lose face. The Ji family's young master is recuperating here, so he probably doesn't know about it. Sheng's thought is that if we want to cancel the engagement, we only need to write a letter from the elders and give it to the Ji family, without disturbing the Ji family's young master."
Hearing his granddaughter's thorough considerations, Old Master Su couldn't help but sigh, "I'm a burden to you..."
Madam Su held Old Master Su's hand tightly and said, "We are all family. We share happiness and difficulties together. How can we not share them?"
Now that the Su family has established a foothold, even though Old Master Su still has some regrets, he soon feels relieved.
Just as the family was waiting for the male member of the Su family to come home from work, they heard a lot of hustle and bustle on the street.
"A great victory at the border! General Xie led an army of 60,000 and completely wiped out the traitor Heng Hongbo and his gang!"
A man and a horse galloped all the way from the city gate.
The people rushed forward and asked, "Didn't they say that the emperor sent troops to help the ruler of Baishang Kingdom quell the rebellion?"
The messenger, holding the victory report high, heard the people's confusion and shouted from his horse, "Heng Hongbo has two minds. He took advantage of Nanling's expedition to divide the world with Queen Mother Xia. He is truly a traitor!"
When the people heard this, they all applauded.
Nanling is already in a turbulent time, and it is unreasonable to interfere in Baishangguo's internal affairs.
But General Xie took this opportunity to behead the traitor Heng Hongbo, which really made people happy!
As the saying goes, the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Heng Hongbo's request to borrow troops from Nanling to create chaos was also to help him fight against Queen Mother Xia.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan ignored the imperial order and only wanted to take his life.
Upon hearing the news that Heng Hongbo had been eliminated, the people of Tianqian Pass were relieved and couldn't wait to celebrate that night.
Even the male member of the Su family who had just returned home was in high spirits.
Nanling Kingdom hasn't had a satisfying battle for a long time.
Even when Su Jingshan learned that Mrs. Ji intended to cancel the engagement, the sadness in his heart was somewhat alleviated by this good news.
Now that Sheng's business has grown so big, even if he wants his daughter to stop, he is afraid that she will not be able to do so.
"I think this matter, no matter what the outcome, should not be hidden from the young master of the Ji family." Su Ruilin said in a deep voice.
Although his family had suffered misfortune and his daughter's husband's family's behavior made him extremely disappointed, there was nothing to fault about the young master of the Ji family.
Su Ruilin didn't want Su Shengsheng to miss this great marriage because of a letter, so he interrupted.
Jiao thought the same thing.
However, if she put herself in his shoes, she might not necessarily marry her daughter to the Ji family if their family was in trouble.
She understood Mrs. Ji's difficulties by putting herself in his shoes.
The Zhong family also remained silent.
In fact, it is because the Su family's current situation has improved that they are no longer obsessed with letting Su Shengsheng marry into the Ji family in order to find a place to settle down.
Women always understand the situation of women in the inner house better.
If the wife of the Ji family knew that the young master of the Ji family had missed the imperial examination because of saving the girl Sheng, who knows how much trouble would arise.
Besides, if Su Shengsheng is forced to marry into the Ji family at this moment, and Sheng is unwilling to return to the Li family, the mother and son will be separated in the Ji family, which is ultimately not a happy ending.
Finally, Su Jingshan looked at Su Shengsheng beside him and asked, "Daughter, have you really thought it through?"
