Why do his eyebrows and eyes look so similar to the young lady's? No, I must be seeing things.
Li Jingchen noticed that the old woman had been staring at him, so he stood up and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The old woman shook her head and said, "It's my fault that I'm blurry-eyed. I'm sorry to bother you, young master."
After saying that, he left in a hurry. Li Jingchen felt puzzled, but didn't pay much attention to it and continued to drink his soup.
Because of the Shi family incident, the pearl cream made by Jiang Tuantuan became a household name. Those who had some savings at home came to buy it, so Jiang Tuantuan also made some money during the Chinese New Year.
It was not a good idea to have people come to the house all the time to order pearl cream, as it was too noisy, so Jiang Tuantuan began to think about buying a shop.
Time passed quickly, and finally it was Yubao's hundredth day. Jiang Tuantuan invited friends to gather at home to celebrate Yubao's hundredth day.
Hua He, Rou Er and Su Qing Ming all came, and everyone gave their blessings to Yu Bao. Yu Bao was not shy at all, and was happy for everyone who came.
Rou'er was very happy and held Yubao tightly in her arms, and Yubao was very considerate and didn't cry or make a fuss.
A grill was set up in the yard, and everyone sat together in the yard eating barbecue. Li Jingchen was stewing chicken soup in the kitchen, and Jiang Li was helping him.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky. This was probably the last snow this winter. The snowflakes fell slowly and there was no wind. Everyone gathered around the barbecue and it wasn't cold.
Yubao looked at the snowflakes in the sky, moving around in Rouer's arms, his round eyes constantly glancing around.
Hua He asked, "I've always heard you call him Yu Bao. Have you decided on a real name?"
"My name is Jiang Yuxin."
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the kitchen, and then they all understood. It turned out to be the son-in-law. Although he had become the deputy general, he still kept the original agreement and remembered the kindness. He was considered a good man.
In the kitchen, Jiang Li asked Li Jingchen, "What do you like about my sister Tuantuan?"
Li Jingchen knocked him on the head and said, "You're so young, and you're already thinking about love."
He said, "When I first met her, I felt that she was the one for me. She used to be gentle and considerate, but now I find that she has many more excellent qualities, such as tenacity, courage, and decisiveness. These make me even more fascinated. She is different from other women and always brings me new surprises."
"Besides, the Jiang family is also my savior. I need to repay and protect them for my entire life."
Jiang Li nodded in confusion. This was quite a lot of information. "Sister Tuantuan is still very beautiful, but she doesn't pay much attention to her appearance."
Li Jingchen burst into laughter. "So you've figured it out. Your sister Tuantuan is now completely focused on making money."
After dinner, everyone went home, and Hua He stayed until the end. Jiang Tuantuan realized that Hua He must have something important to say, so he took her hand and went back to his room.
Hua He sat on a stool, her arms resting on the table, her face propped up by her hands, and said dejectedly, "I'm getting married in June this year. I'm marrying the second son of the Pingding County Magistrate."
Jiang Tuantuan was a little shocked, but quickly calmed down, "Your parents arranged it."
Hua He: "My father arranged it. Pingding County is the upper county of Jizhou, and Fujiang County is the lower county. My father wanted to marry me off for her career."
"Have you met the second son of the Pingding County Magistrate?"
Hua He: "I met him years ago. I don't like him. I heard that he is only nineteen years old and he already has three maids at home. He is very philandering. I feel sick when I see him. I want a husband who only loves me and will marry me for the rest of his life."
Jiang Tuantuan was a little angry: "It would be hard for you to marry someone like that."
Hua He shook her head helplessly, "But it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
Hua He held Jiang Tuan Tuan's hand. "I won't marry. I'll try to get my father to reject this marriage. If that doesn't work, I'll run away. If the day ever comes for me to run away, Tuan Tuan, can you help me?"
Jiang Tuantuan was stunned for a second. It was the first time she realized that Hua He was not only white in skin and filled with black sesame, but also very brave.
"I'll help you, don't worry."
Hua He was moved and hugged Jiang Tuantuan, who gently stroked her back.
After one night, the snow had formed a thick layer, half as high as a person's arm, but it still did not stop.
Mai Feng and Madden are still learning about silver jewelry in the warehouse. They have made great progress now. After all, the knowledge in these books is something they have never learned before, and even their master doesn't know it. The jewelry drawn in the books is even more exquisite.
Jiang Tuantuan also bought some gems and a small amount of gold bars in the mall for them to use.
When the two saw the gems and gold nuggets, their eyes widened and they secretly said, "Our boss is really a hidden rich man."
Li Jingchen suddenly remembered the silver locket he had always worn around his neck. He had been wearing it since he was born and had never taken it off.
Li Jingchen asked the two if they had seen this kind of silver lock before. Mai Feng said, "The person who made this silver lock must have had great skills."
Madden shouted, "I remember now. My master once accidentally mentioned it, and I happened to overhear it. This silver lock has special craftsmanship. It must have been made by the Zhou family in Suzhou. The Zhou family were all craftsmen who specialized in silver jewelry and were very famous. The pattern on it is also unique to the Zhou family."
Li Jingchen was overjoyed. He finally had a clue about his life experience and decided to go to Suzhou one day in the future.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month had passed and everyone had started working. Jiang Tuantuan ran to the pawnshop to see if there was a suitable shop selling goods.
Jiang Tuantuan wanted a house with a small courtyard, which would be convenient for making things, and a two-story house, preferably in the most prosperous area of the main street, the street most frequented by rich ladies.
But after looking around, I found that there were only three shops that met Jiang Tuantuan's requirements, and they were all very expensive, costing over two hundred taels. Although the decoration of the shops was not very good, they had an excellent geographical location, so they were sold at very high prices.
Jiang Tuantuan's entire fortune was only forty taels of silver, which was unaffordable for him. Li Jingchen wanted to help buy it, but was rejected by Jiang Tuantuan.
The pawnbroker took the opportunity to say, "Madam, why don't you rent one and buy one when you have more money."
Jiang Tuantuan thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he went with the dentist to look at a shop.
Next to the shop is a cloth shop, and opposite is Chuanxianglou, the largest restaurant in Fujiang County.
This area is where rich ladies and gentlemen often go. Although the shop is not well decorated, it is spacious and Jiang Tuantuan fell in love with it at first sight.
The monthly rent was four taels and five hundred wen, but Jiang Tuantuan cut it down to four taels per month.
Li Jingchen was stunned watching from the side. He didn't expect that his wife had this skill. How amazing!
