: Have gains and give ups

First, they sat together and talked for a while, and then gave the things to Zhou Ruoyi.

Zhou Ruoyi got something and thanked happily, "Thank you, Sister Su, I will wear this safety lock every day."

After saying that, he put the safety lock around his neck, and then looked at He Yanxiu with a smile.

"Thank you, too, for my second cousin. I will definitely study hard and live up to my second cousin's expectations."

He Yanxiu, “…”

If I had known that the four treasures of the study should have been kept for Su Yujin to buy, and it would not have been like this now.

However, Zhou Ruoyi was a young man now, and he spoke in a straight voice, and he looked like a little adult. He was indeed very pleasing.

He Yanxiu suddenly understood why Su Yujin's smile on her face was softer when she looked at Zhou Ruoyi.

"It's right, I'm quite ambitious." He Yanxiu nodded in praise, "In the future, I will be a great person."

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Li looked at each other and smiled.

The Zhou family has been merchants throughout the ages and seems to have no fate in studying.

Although this dynasty did not have much strictness towards merchants, and had no lower status, because of the customs and concepts of all dynasties, it is more willing that someone in his family could stand out and become an official.

Although Zhou Ruoyi is not old now, he is diligent in studying and is quite talented. If this continues, he may not necessarily be able to pass the imperial examination. However, if he can pass the imperial examination, he will be considered as a glorious ancestor.

At this time, Mr. He gave the four treasures of the study, and said this...

Su Yujin's second cousin had vaguely heard some of it before, saying that he was an official in the capital.

A young talent has a more limitless future and has a very good vision. With his words like this, it can be considered a good fortune and a good start.

"Second Master He praised it."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and called on the people below to send some new refreshments.

After saying something for a while, having some refreshments, the person below sent a message saying that lunch was ready.

Crystal shrimp dumplings, sweet and sour fish, roasted lamb, secret Dongpo elbow, cabbage Ruyi roll, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, ham and winter bamboo shoots, fried lettuce, eight-treasure rice, and hibiscus tofu soup.

After dinner, I served red date and pear soup.

Several people spoke as the sun set. Seeing that the old lady Zhou was feeling a little tired, Su Yujin and He Yanxiu stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing off the two, Mrs. Zhou returned to the yard to rest. Li accompanied Zhou Ruoyi to count the gifts he received today.

In addition to Su Yujin and He Yanxiu, there are also the filial piety of some shopkeepers below, the intentions of the housekeeper and the personal servants at home, as well as brushes, rice paper, paperweights, shoes and socks, clothes, snacks, and gadgets...

More or less, expensive or cheap, it is always something to think.

Zhou Ruoyi was a child after all. After all, he received so many birthday gifts. Now he looked at this and took that one and couldn't let go of it.

Li's face was full of love and doting, and helped to classify and subscribe.

Mrs. Li opened a brocade box, and there was a gold-inlaid jade Ruyi inside.

"This is..."

"I heard from the butler that this was given by the shopkeeper Yun of Yunzhizhai." Zhou Ruoyi smiled.

Sent by Yun Yongnian.

No wonder I give such a valuable item.

No wonder I would give you a wish...

Seeing Li's silence, Zhou Ruoyi blinked, "What's wrong with mother, but what's wrong with this Ruyi?"

"There's nothing wrong." Li came to his senses, touched Zhou Ruoyi's face, and smiled, "I just thought that the wishful wish of gold and jade is to pray for good luck and good luck. I think I'm thinking about you going back.

You can have a smooth life and everything goes well."

"It's not just that I want everything to go well, my mother, grandmother, sister Su, cousin He Er, and everyone, everything to go well." Zhou Ruoyi smiled and two small ones appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Tiger teeth.

"Yes." Li replied with a smile.

But my eyes were full of obscureness that could not be dissolved.

Everything goes well, how can everything go well in this world be?

Things you want are always hard to come by, and if you get something, you must give up something in the end.

Li took a deep breath, pushed the mist rising in his eyes, and then looked at the sky outside, "It's getting late, please tell me to arrange my meal."

"Eat early like this?"

After lunch, Zhou Ruoyi felt that he had not digested it in his stomach.

"If you are not hungry, eat less. I specially ordered the kitchen to cook some light and easy-to-digestible meals." Li smiled, "It's your birthday today, so of course I have to have dinner earlier and then early

Go and put the Kongming lantern.”

According to local custom, children before the age of twelve must put Kongming lanterns on their birthdays, and the Kongming lanterns must be filled with blessings from their elders. They are lit by the children, and the higher the higher the better.

This is the most joyful thing for children during their birthdays, and it is also the concern of elders.

Zhou Ruoyi hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes, mother."

The mother and son talked and laughed, and they came out of Zhou Ruoyi's study together.

——

He Yanxiu stayed in Qinghe for a few more days.

Seeing that it was almost Laba, He Yanxiu was worried that he could not take leave at the palace banquet, so he wanted to take Xing'an back to Beijing together.

Before leaving, he gave Su Yujin a silver note of 500 taels.

"The end of the year is approaching, so you can buy some New Year's goods. If I get free time, I will come to see you again. I will also see if I can get some rewards from the palace. If there is any good one, I will bring them to you."

"Xie Er Master." Su Yujin was not polite and put it away all, but raised her eyebrows.

This money is the money for buying New Year’s goods, not the money for buying jade pendants last time?

Then should she vaguely eliminate the account, or should she continue to remember the account?

Touching the thick silver notes and thinking that He Yanxiu had bought her a lot of high-quality fabrics, vases and ornaments in the past few days, Su Yujin felt that it was better to choose the former one.

After all, He Yanxiu was generous and generous, and she could not learn to be petty. She could only collect money from others and not pay any money for herself, as if she was not a rooster.

Su Yujin thought so and locked the silver note into the small box first and put it in a proper place to hide it.

Just after finishing all this, Zhao and Yu Yongye came to the door.

Today is here, I'm asking for an appointment.

Based on the horoscope of the man and woman, the man takes a good day and then prepares a generous gift to the woman's house and asks the woman to agree to the date of marriage.

The day is set on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, which is a zodiac auspicious day that suits everything.

It is a ritual to ask for an appointment. Unless the family is particularly particular, most women will not refute it.

Su Yujin and Shuangye discussed for a while, and felt that there was no problem with this day, so they agreed.

After the marriage date is set, the next step is to prepare for marriage.

The man is preparing to welcome all kinds of etiquettes on the day, and to entertain guests, and to arrange a wedding room. The woman is also preparing etiquettes, but more of the dowry to prepare for the daughter's marriage.
