"Duoduo likes Jinzhi the most!"
Hearing this, Cao Canjun was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. He glanced cautiously at Jin Jinzhi and Yun Duoduo, and saw that the two of them looked normal.
Am I overthinking things?
Military Advisor Cao shook his head, somewhat confused.
Yun Duoduo swayed happily back and forth on the horse's back, while Jin Jinzhi gripped the reins tightly and said softly, "Sit still."
The clouds immediately became still and obedient.
Smiling as I watch the prosperity along the way.
...
The following day at noon, on Chang'an Street in the capital, Chu Dunshi invited several shopkeepers who had previously cooperated with Jinxiu Silk Company to have a meal at Pinxiangzhai.
The group went upstairs and sat in a private room to chat. Although they didn't know why Chu Dunshi would invite them to dinner, they all had a vague feeling that something good was about to happen.
"Thank you all for gracing us with your presence."
Chu Dunshi poured tea for the display cases.
"Come, try these Miyun golden silk dates. They were sent by a regular customer today; you can't buy them in the capital."
"Haha, Chu Dunshi, with such a good customer, you'd better take good care of him."
"Of course!"
"Mmm, these jujubes are so sweet!" Shopkeeper Wen ate several in a row.
"Brother Chu, is there some joyous occasion that you've invited us to this meal today?" Manager Fan asked.
"Uh, how about we eat first, everyone!" Chu Dunshi's face turned red instantly.
"Oh, Brother Chu, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly!" Pei Xiuer asked anxiously, very curious about what it was all about.
"I plan to propose marriage to Ziwan."
After saying that, Chu Dunshi lowered his head.
"Congratulations!" Manager Fan cupped his hands in greeting.
"Oh, congratulations! No wonder I didn't see Manager Liao at lunch today!"
"That's great news! Come on, let's drink!"
The shopkeepers kept pouring Chu Dun Stone Wine into his cups, congratulating him on winning the heart of his beautiful wife.
...
Meanwhile, at Yun Yishu's behest, Zhao Pin'er arrived at the Brocade Silk Shop.
Yun Yishu felt that it would be more appropriate to have a woman act as a mediator for the marriage between the two. Therefore, he briefly explained the situation to Zhao Pin'er and asked her to come and act as the mediator.
Zhao Pin'er and Liao Ziwan were sitting in the inner room drinking tea. She gently patted Liao Ziwan's hand and said, "Ziwan, Chu Dunshi plans to go to Jiangnan to propose marriage and meet your father and mother."
Ziwan looked at Zhao Pin'er with slight surprise, but quickly calmed down. "You mean, Brother Chu is planning to go to Jiangnan?"
"right."
"Then, how about I go back with him? It'll be a good opportunity to see my parents too."
Zhao Pin'er smiled at Zi Wan, "That would be excellent. You two can go back together and discuss what to prepare and how to arrange the wedding, so that you won't dislike anything Chu Dunshi has prepared."
"You only get one chance at this in your life, so you have to take it seriously and handle it properly."
“Pin’er is right.”
As they were talking, Chu Dunshi walked in.
"Brother Chu, you've arrived!"
Zhao Pin'er moved to the side, making room for Chu Dunshi.
A shop assistant from the silk shop came in carrying a white porcelain teapot. "Hot tea is here!"
"Here, have some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Chu Dunshi poured Zhao Pin'er and Ziwan a cup of hot tea.
Ziwan lowered her head to drink tea, while Zhao Pin'er smiled and nodded to Chu Dunshi. Upon seeing this, Chu Dunshi grinned from ear to ear.
"Ziwan, will you come to Jiangnan with me then?"
"Mm." Ziwan nodded slightly.
"good."
After chatting for a while, Zhao Pin'er took out a box and placed it on the table: "Ziwan, this is a set of mutton fat jade jewelry. I know you don't like those colorful pieces, so I chose this set for you. I hope you like it."
Ziwan opened the gold-inlaid sandalwood jewelry box inlaid with cicadas and jade beads. Inside were exquisite kingfisher-feather inlaid silver hairpins with grass-head insects and pearls, mutton fat jade filigree hairpins, mutton fat jade vine pendants, cloud-foot pearl and tendril hairpins, white jade and gemstone rings, silver filigree double-clasp bracelets, and gold filigree earrings inlaid with rubies.
It looks very valuable.
Ziwan put down the box with some surprise, closed the lid, and put the box back into Zhao Pin'er's hands. "Pin'er, I appreciate your kindness, but this set of jewelry is too valuable. I can't accept it."
"Ziwan, don't be so formal with me. Take this. You'll only get married once in your life. This is the master's idea."
Zhao Pin'er placed the jewelry box into Zi Wan's hands.
"Ziwan, keep it."
Chu Dunshi tried to persuade him from the side, as Yun Yishu had told him about this matter before.
"Ziwan, try it on and see, it must be extremely beautiful."
Chu Dunshi stood up, picked up the earrings from the jewelry box, and helped Ziwan put them on.
Zhao Pin'er, who was listening to the mushy talk, turned around and went out, closing the door behind her. "I'm going to see if Shi Tou has come over."
Zhao Pin'er came out and saw Shi Tou carrying a food box upstairs. "You're back."
"Sister Ping'er, I bought some of their signature dishes."
"There is Dongpo tofu, osmanthus fish strips, eight-treasure rabbit meat, and bamboo shoots and bracken."
"Oh, I also bought sweet porridge, steamed buns, and fried rice."
"Haha, this style is quite complete."
Zhao Pin'er smiled.
A moment later, Zhao Pin'er looked at Liao Ziwan who came out. A pair of jade earrings were worn on her thick earlobes, making her face look even whiter.
The gold bracelet and gemstone ring on her wrist made her look very wealthy.
This pretty, delicate-looking girl from a small town, with the help of jewelry, exudes a certain elegance and nobility.
