Chapter 110: Town Endorsement
Su Hengji looked at his sister's unstoppable smile and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Sixth sister, why do you seem so happy to see this happen?"
Su Shengsheng smiled. "Just because Young Master Ji is kindhearted, do we have to make him keep his engagement? If we truly believe he's a good person, shouldn't we let him soar high? Madam Ji's words are true. How can we resist hearing the truth?"
Although her words were blunt, every word touched the hearts of the Su family.
The Su family’s current situation is no longer as good as before, which is an undeniable fact.
They really shouldn't have pretended to be ignorant and kept delaying the matter, thus drawing the ridicule of Mrs. Ji.
Although Su Jingshan did not get a clear answer from his daughter, he already knew her intentions.
Seeing this, Old Master Su no longer hesitated, "I will personally write a letter to inform my brother that his family cannot be disturbed by this marriage."
"It's just..." He was about to stand up, but then stopped, "Yan Li is still..."
Su Shengsheng immediately said, "Grandfather, I have a way to help the young master of the Ji family catch up with the imperial examination. The imperial examination is the most important thing right now."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Su sighed, turned around and left without saying anything else.
Seeing that the marriage was over, Su Shengsheng stood up with a sense of relief and said with a smile, "There are still many matters to be dealt with on the mountain. Sheng'er will take his leave first."
Mrs. Li looked at her daughter's smiling face. Although she felt powerless, she could only let her go.
…
On the day Tangquan Tea House opened, even the Ningguo Mansion sent a small and exquisite citrine lucky cat.
This is not artificial glass, but a very precious yellow gemstone, called water crystal, also known as water jade.
Its color is as warm as jade, and it emits a golden luster. It flows as delicately as a thousand-year-old ice soul, which is breathtaking.
"What a pity!" Su Shengsheng circled around the golden lucky cat twice, muttering to herself.
At this moment, Duke Ningguo, his wife, and the Crown Prince's wife were all seated in the tea room, and only Ning Jie was with her.
Ning Jie's eyes had sparkled when he first saw her, but now he saw her frowning. He couldn't help but ask, "What's so regrettable? Is this statue not well carved?"
Su Shengsheng shook her head and said, "If you have this money, you might as well just change it into silver for me."
Now she has many people to support, and although she seems to be doing well, she is actually short of money.
Ning Jie snorted upon hearing this, "Who told you to expand your business so much? How much money are you short of?"
Su Shengsheng glanced at him and saw that he was becoming more and more arrogant. She couldn't help but say, "You kid, you haven't given me your apprenticeship gift yet!"
Ning Jie didn't care at all: "You are only five years older than me, and you want me to become your disciple?"
The sound of singing came from outside. Su Shengsheng didn't want to argue with him about the big or small issues, so she got up and left.
Outside, almost half of the merchants from various shops in Tianqianguan Town came to show their support.
Not only did the Duke and his wife come in person to express their gratitude to Su Shengsheng for teaching Young Master Ning, but even the county magistrate and Lord Guo came to congratulate them.
The son of Guardian Guo was also studying at Yuebi Book House.
Everyone heard that his youngest son had had some ridiculous conversation with this lady earlier, saying that he wanted to cover the entire Tianqian Pass with a quilt.
Unexpectedly, in just less than a few months, she actually fulfilled her big talk.
The youngest son of Guardian Guo was self-aware, so he specially dragged his father to come and show his support.
When Cheng Ruicheng saw Su Shengsheng come out, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money every day!"
"Thank you, Captain Cheng, and thank you, Young Master Cheng." Su Shengsheng took the heavy gift box with both hands and handed it to Zai Qing beside her.
As she turned around, she did not forget to glance at Ning Jie who was doing nothing.
That look seemed to say: Look at me~
Ning Jie just casually threw a grape into his mouth without any reaction.
"My child has made great progress under the guidance of the teacher. I have brought him here today to express my gratitude."
Cheng Shoubei's voice was loud and sincere, attracting the attention of the spectators who were watching the layout of the building.
Not to mention that the son of Cheng Shoubei was once a naughty boy who gave many teachers a headache. They would rather return the tuition than teach him anymore.
Now seeing him so respectful and polite, it is obvious that this female teacher is indeed worthy of her reputation.
This "silly young man" who was famous in Tianqian Pass not only spoke for the first time today, but also scolded the domineering second-generation rich man so much that he burst into tears and ran back in a panic to find his mother. The scene made the onlookers dumbfounded and they are still unforgettable.
Everyone looked sideways, curiously examining the female shopkeeper who was highly praised by the people of Tianqian Pass, to see who she was.
The famous female shopkeeper in Tianqianguan has a pair of eyebrows that look like distant mountains covered with smoke, which gently outlines her flawless jade-like facial features, adding a bit of charm to her fresh and gentle temperament.
Those lively eyes are like bright pearls.
Her every frown and smile is calm and confident, which is completely different from those common weak girls in the boudoir. Her weakness contains a strong strength.
Her kind demeanor seemed to be able to melt all the coldness outside, making people feel peaceful and warm in their hearts.
Just like this teahouse, it blends the beauty of nature, making people feel as if they are in a paradise.
"Captain Cheng, you are too kind. Please follow me inside." Su Shengsheng smiled and led him into the tea room.
Cheng Shoubei looked at the glazed floor that led from the central corridor to the outdoor carp pond, his eyes full of curiosity.
Colorful koi and goldfish swam leisurely under their feet. If they hadn't kept their feet on the ground, they would have thought they were in a dream, walking on the waves.
There is a skylight above the tea tasting area in the center of the tea room. Sunlight pours down through the transparent glass dome, bathing the entire tea room in brightness.
The bright sunshine and the green rocks and bamboos complement each other beautifully, making people feel as if they are at the turn of spring and summer.
The sandalwood carved tables and chairs and the glass lattice doors inlaid in them exude elegance and tranquility everywhere.
The sound of the gurgling spring water makes people feel relaxed and happy and indulge in it.
The most breathtaking thing is that where the front wall connects to the outside, there stands a huge fish tank that is more than ten meters high.
As the light and shadow outside change, the small fish shuttle and play among the water plants, like a vivid painting.
They were attracted by the outdoor lotus pond and the three-person-high transparent fish tank on the outer wall.
At this moment, heavy snow is falling outside, but the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming proudly and the koi are jumping happily.
The translucent lotus petals are delicate and fresh, and the fish are playing among them, which is really interesting.
As you step into this room filled with the fragrance of tea and ancient charm, a completely different and unique scenery unfolds before your eyes.
The elegant long mural and the lively koi fish complement each other, instantly dispelling the restlessness in one's heart, and making one just want to sit down and savor the overflowing tea fragrance.
In addition to the central tea tasting area, there are also separate tea rooms that are clearly layered around the entire floor.
Interspersed among them are hot spring areas with artificial hot springs, where people can wash away their fatigue and enjoy the fragrance of tea in their leisure time.
The arrangements of all these are unique, beautiful and elegant, so dazzling that I don’t know where to start praising them.
There are separate hot spring areas for men and women in the tea room. Su Shengsheng was not able to enter, so she asked Zaiqing to continue the introduction.
At this time, Duke Ningguo had changed into clothes with a strong Zen feel and walked out. Su Shengsheng called Ning Jie, who seemed a little impatient, and asked him to receive Duke Ningguo.
She set a high price for the Tangquan Tea House this time, but she didn't expect so many people to come and support it.
Seeing that six shopkeepers including Mr. Liu Sanye and Mu Zhi were also arriving, Su Shengsheng turned around to greet them, "Shopkeepers, please come in."
Shopkeeper Yu stepped on the glass floor and asked curiously, "How can this glass bear the weight of so many people?"
Su Shengsheng took the gift and heard the hidden meaning in his words, "This is tempered glass. You shopkeepers can't eat this much, so don't think about it."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yu turned around and looked at the symmetrical display cabinets and the dazzling array of glassware inside, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
Su Shengsheng carefully planned this leisure club that combines glass art with the essence of Chinese teahouse, but it is not for showing off.
Only by endorsing the town can the reputation of glass be quickly made known.
