After returning to the city, Linglong asked around for instructions on how to become a disciple.
Zheng Tiansen also did not forget to ask his friends.
Everyone in the petty bureau knew that Linglong was planning to become a disciple, and some even laughed at her privately.
Some even exaggerate and say that this is feudal dregs.
Because Linglong had won the favor of Mr. Wei, she was originally considered a person who was not competitive and had good relationships with people in various departments of the Bureau of Natural Resources. However, after this incident, some people envied her.
But Linglong doesn't care about these things. The fact that she is envied by others proves that she is a talented person.
It was no small matter to become his disciple. She had mentioned it when she arrived at the compound.
Knowing that she was going to study under a famous old expert, Zeng Yu and his wife were very happy for her.
Especially Zheng Yu, he didn't care about the amount of wealth, but he cared about people who were truly knowledgeable and had status.
Linglong insisted again and again before she stopped her mother-in-law from preparing a gift for her to become a disciple.
When she was at work, she would study with Mr. Wei almost every day, but she never mentioned the idea of becoming his apprentice.
When everything was almost ready, he asked Mr. Wei nervously.
When Mr. Wei first learned of her thoughts, he was silent for a long time.
Just when Linglong thought that the plan was going to fail, she saw that Mr. Wei's eyes were red.
"Are you sure you want to take me as your master?"
"Sure." Linglong nodded firmly.
Mr. Wei smiled with relief. "Okay, I agree."
Linglong became delighted.
Mr. Wei not only agreed, but also chose the time.
As for his home.
For this apprenticeship ceremony, Mr. Wei also contacted old friends with whom he had not been in touch for a long time.
On the day of becoming a disciple, Zheng Tiansen made time to accompany his wife to Wei's hometown.
Mr. Wei knew that Linglong was married and a military wife, but he had never heard her mention her husband. When he saw Zheng Tiansen, he looked at him for a while longer.
He had no children, so when he wanted to take Linglong as his apprentice, he became more concerned about her personal happiness.
Seeing that Zheng Tiansen was tall, handsome, and had a righteous look on his face, he nodded with satisfaction.
Witnessed by a group of seniors, Linglong formally became Master Wei's only disciple.
Mr. Wei also gave her a gift as a discipleship gift, which was an ancient inkstone.
After starting to study with Mr. Wei, Linglong was no longer idle at work.
Even when Master Wei wasn't around, or when she had nothing to do, she would review silently and listen to what Master Wei was teaching her.
In the midst of her busy schedule, she finally finished decorating her new store and was ready to open for business.
After discussing with Xiao Jiang, she specially chose a day when everyone was on vacation.
When they opened a store, she and Xiao Jiang felt a little secretive and didn't even have an opening ceremony.
But they were a little bolder in this second store.
Firecrackers were set off and the entrance was very conspicuous.
Sister Luo became the manager of the new store and had three employees under her. She kept two employees from the old store and they could take turns to rest.
The two stores employ a total of six people, and including Linglong and Xiaojiang, there are no more than eight people.
Knowing that the policy has been relaxed, Linglong remains cautious.
The second store opened with such a bustling atmosphere that it also attracted the attention of passers-by.
In addition, Linglong had people post opening promotions at the door, which attracted more customers to come into the store to choose clothes.
Originally many people just wanted to join in the fun, thinking that they could just take a look and there was nothing to lose. However, after entering, few came out empty-handed.
I was originally worried that the new store was much bigger and Xiao Jiang would not be very helpful, but as the number of customers increased, he started to help out.
Linglong and her friends opened a new store, and Zheng Tianxin and Zheng Tianbao also came today to join in the fun and help.
In the Zheng family, after feeling awkward for a few days, Zheng Yu finally accepted Xiao Jiang's intention to be his son-in-law.
Since his mother agreed, Zheng Tianbao would not say anything.
But today when I came to the store, I kept staring at Xiao Jiang, especially when he was introducing clothes to female customers.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Linglong pulled her sister-in-law aside to talk.
"You and Xiao Jiang are getting married. How are you preparing?"
Linglong was not very clear about this because she had only taken her son to the compound once every few days.
"Sister-in-law, I'm still shopping, but the date is set, December."
"It's December, and it's quite cold."
"No, I'm not afraid of the cold."
Linglong laughed out loud, her heart was burning with excitement as it was obvious that her sister-in-law was getting married.
When talking about marriage, Zheng Tianxin also talked a lot.
Overall, Xiao Jiang's performance satisfied her and her parents at home.
Before Xiao Jiang came to Beijing, he didn't have much money.
That is to say, it was by doing business with Linglong that he made money.
I bought a house and a shop, so I have some money, but it's not too much.
As a betrothal gift to Zheng Tianxin, he prepared 1,888 yuan, which was quite a lot in Beijing.
In addition to the betrothal gifts, he also did not forget to buy large items of furniture.
When shopping with Zheng Tianxin, he also bought her gold rings, earrings and other jewelry.
It was precisely because of his sincerity that Zeng Yu and his wife had no objections at all.
Xiao Jiang also agreed with Zheng Tianxin that the wedding would be held in Beijing, and he would bring his mother and several relatives over.
Hearing this, Linglong couldn't help but give a few more instructions.
"Your future mother-in-law is okay, but it's not necessarily easy to get along with Xiao Jiang's brother and sister's family. You should be mentally prepared."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. He said that after the wedding, his brothers and sisters and their families will all return to Dong. I can only endure it for two days at most. I think they won't dare to go too far."
"It's good that you know what's going on, but don't get yourself into trouble. If you have any problems, just tell us. Don't let us take any losses."
"Sister-in-law, don't you understand me? I'm not the type to suffer any loss."
"That's right."
Zheng Tiansen didn't come when the store opened, but he came back early in the afternoon, took a look around the store, and picked up his wife.
Seeing that his brother loved his wife so much, Zheng Tianxin poked Xiao Jiang.
"See? Learn from my brother. If you can be as good as he is to my sister-in-law, I will be satisfied."
Xiao Jiang immediately promised, "Don't worry, Tianxin, I will definitely treat you twice as well."
After eating dog food twice in a row, Zheng Tianbao felt sympathetic. Alas, he was alone and now even his sister was getting married.
Although he felt sad, as a brother he still felt sorry for his sister.
When he got home, Zheng Tianbao told his mother one thing.
He planned to withdraw from the store he and his sister owned and use it as his sister's dowry. He had saved a lot of money from running the store and wanted to do something else on his own.
Zeng Yu and his wife were very pleased that he, as an older brother, could consider his married sister.
They had already prepared a dowry for their daughter.
Zeng Yu not only prepared a house in advance, but also gave Xiao Jiang as a betrothal gift to her daughter when she got married. She also had some valuable jewelry that she would give to her daughter when she got married.
Linglong occasionally learned about this and expressed her feelings. She used to take the dividends from her sister-in-law's store, but now she doesn't want them anymore. She regards it all as a dowry to her sister-in-law, as well as a wedding gift.
It wasn't until a few days before her wedding that Zheng Tianxin realized she had such a large dowry and was overwhelmed with emotion.
