Chapter 103 Guarding your heart for the king, not marrying in this life.
In the past few years, the business of Allure has been very hot, it is the first in Suzhou City, Xia Jingyu began to plan to develop some branches outside, there are not many places like Suzhou, her vision is aimed at the capital.
Wang Liuqing's father and brother are in the capital, if Wang Liuqing is willing to help, with his father and brother's favor for her, there is no problem with this matter, although their official eunuch family may not be able to look at the side door of doing business, but the style of business in Suzhou prevails, Wang Liuqing himself has lived in Suzhou for many years, and her husband is also a businessman, if she comes forward to discuss with her father and brother, there must be no reason not to agree.
The relationship between Xia Jingyu and Wang Liuqing has always been good, and it is difficult for ordinary people to invite Song Yi, but Xia Jingyu treats Wang Liuqing very preferentially, using Song Yi's medicinal diet, wearing Xia Jingyu's special clothes, and other novelties, all give her a copy first. So they forgot to make friends for the year, and slowly the relationship became deeper.
Before Wang Liuqing's daughter got married, Xia Jingyu created a set of all kinds of things in the store according to the girl's wishes, and Wang Liuqing himself teased: "With these things, no matter how wooden a man is, he shouldn't be able to escape." ”
Xia Jingyu told Wang Liuqing about the idea of opening a store in Beijing, Wang Liuqing agreed at the moment, and the matter was roughly finalized, Xia Jingyu asked Su Xiuxiu to deal with this matter, Wang Liuqing looked at this girl who was younger than her daughter, and her expression was a little displeased:
"I really helped you, even my father and brother said hello, what do you mean by this?"
Xia Jingyu beckoned Su Xiuxiu to her side: "Don't look at her young age, she has been with me for so many years, but she has done everything." ”
Wang Liuqing thought of the surprises and surprises that Xia Jingyu had given him over the years, and after thinking about it, he stopped dwelling on this issue, changed the topic, and stared at Xia Jingyu for a long time:
"I said that you are also twenty-three or four this year, why are you not in a hurry to get married? If you are surrounded by young talents, you can't look at them. It's better to go to Beijing with you, and I'll introduce you to it. ”
Xia Jingyu hurriedly shook his hand: "No need, I don't have any plans for this." ”
"I'm not going to do anything yet, I said you're a successful career now. In fact, a woman's family doesn't need to earn so much money, it is good to have a good home, and to be able to watch and raise her children. ”
Xia Jingyu didn't say anything to her anymore, you can never experience other people's experiences. So, those words that are spoken with your values are meaningless.
Sending Su Xiuxiu away, Xia Jingyu fell into a person's life, too boring, she began to copy books every day, from early morning to evening, she felt that her routine was as regular as the elderly.
A Dream of Red Mansions, she spent a few months. Copying it in the Da Zhou script, she wanted to find a place to print this and publish it, and when she saw this dense word, she was the first to frown, this era is still modulated printing, and it is a waste of time and money to print the whole book.
Xia Jingyu, who was rejected, was not discouraged, she turned out Shen Kuo's Mengxi pen talk. I read the places about movable type printing again, found someone to carve the mold, and found a few idle people from the factory and asked them to do the printing.
Dream of Red Mansions has just been printed. It caused a sensation in the whole city of Suzhou, and when the supply exceeded demand, the printing plant worked overtime every day and printed all night, so that when the door opened the next day. It was still sold out.
The sales are hot, but Xia Jingyu doesn't care about the specific affairs, she is too lazy to pay attention to these above things now, and began to continue to copy the second book, Su Xiuxiu went out this time, and it took half a month to come back, after she came back, Xia Jingyu's Romance of the Three Kingdoms was also copied, and when she came back, there was still a month before the end of the year, Xia Jingyu estimated that Su Cheng and Sansui should also come back.
Within two or three days, Sucheng Sansui returned to Suzhou City with three or four of his subordinates, opened the door, and the courtyard was pasted with red letters everywhere, and lanterns were hung, and the smell of the New Year was strong. A large drawer of buns was steamed in the steamer, and the sausages and bacon were skewered one by one, Su Cheng took the lead in pushing the door in, and rushed in with a happy face.
"Jingyu, I'm back."
"Welcome home!" Xia Jingyu spread his arms wide and made a hugging posture, but he didn't hug him, just stood like that.
In comparison, Sansui was behind, walking much slower, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was reluctant, Xia Jingyu felt that something must have happened, she asked Su Cheng, Su Cheng smiled incomprehensibly, and pointed at Sansui with his mouth: "Let's talk about it when he is willing to say it." ”
So Xia Jingyu didn't ask, and told the maids last time, after a while, a table full of delicacies was put on the table, Sansui is a person who is not easy to hide things in his heart, eating and eating, Sansui put down his chopsticks and smiled bitterly: "I'm getting married." ”
Xia Jingyu's surprised hand hung in the air, during this time Sansui had been running outside, and even let him run back to a daughter-in-law, she immediately smiled and was very happy: "It's finally over." ”
Her previous wish, watching Sansui and Su Cheng marry wives, and watching Xiuxiu get married, has already achieved one-third, but she didn't expect that only this one-third will be realized.
Her gossip soul was ignited, and she stepped forward, her big eyes sparkling: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
The wry smile on the corner of Sansui's mouth deepened.
After Xia Jingyu listened to the ins and outs, he couldn't help but be speechless. Sansui looks quite delicate, and was taken by a girl in Suzhou City, the girl in order to marry Sansui, but also made a bloody capital, and even tossed out the bridge section of jumping into Sansui's arms, unfortunately, it was also seen by the surrounding neighbors, and the girl's parents also felt that this matter affected the girl's reputation, and they looked at Sansui's character and appearance in the past, so they made trouble for Sansui to take the girl.
"What does she look like?" Xia Jingyu asked.
"How can I be, two eyes, a nose and a mouth." Sansui said lazily.
Seeing that he was so distracted, Xia Jingyu also slowed down his tone: "If you really don't want to marry her, forget it, she tossed this matter out of herself, even if we don't marry her, we can't blame me." Don't push yourself. ”
Sansui shook his head: "I have promised her parents that I will marry her." ”
Xia Jingyu put down the bowl heavily: "What do you mean by this?" Marriage is child's play, if you don't like her, you won't be happy in the future! ”
Sansui didn't look over: "It's okay, it won't, who to marry isn't the same." The voice behind him was very small, Xia Jingyu didn't hear it, she just kept sighing, the people around her, the bell is too much to pursue her own love, Sansui is too indifferent to her own love, these two people, if they can neutralize it, how good it would be.
Xia Jingyu thought again, maybe Sansui liked this young lady in her heart, but she was just angry with her behavior, or she was suddenly going to get married, and she couldn't let go of it, so her temper was a little awkward at the moment, and she felt that her guess was very reasonable, so she didn't continue to worry about this issue.
She turned around and looked at Su Cheng: "You and Sansui are one year old, you look at Sansui, and then look at you, don't delay the marriage for business." ”
"Yes, I'll think about it." Su Cheng nodded lightly, but it was obviously a very perfunctory attitude.
This little episode passed quickly, after the New Year, Sansui and the young lady got engaged, and the wedding was finally set for half a year later, Xia Jingyu saw the girl, only sixteen years old, her appearance is delicate, and her temperament is very jumpy, but this is normal, otherwise it would not have happened that the two of them finally got married, thinking about such a character, and Sansui should be a good match.
Xia Jingyu bought a small yard for Sansui very close to her house, Sansui now has money on hand, but Xia Jingyu insisted on buying it for him, as a wedding gift, Xia Jingyu and Su Cheng stood at the door, watching the bride's sedan chair being carried in, Sansui sat on the horse, the sun shone on his face, looking even more handsome and extraordinary. When the naughty bride got off the sedan chair, she couldn't help but secretly lift her hijab, and the bride on the side was so frightened that her face turned white, looking left and right, thinking that no one had seen it, so she breathed a long sigh of relief.
In the culture of the Great Zhou, the bride lifts the hijab herself, which means that she will not be liked by her husband......
Su Cheng stood beside Xia Jingyu, and suddenly she felt a warmth in her hands, and inadvertently, she was held up by a pair of big hands, those hands were a little calloused, but they were so reassuring, Su Cheng put her hand in her palm and looked at her eyes seriously:
"Jingyu, marry me."
Xia Jingyu withdrew her hand from him, took a step back without a trace, and widened the distance between the two, the smile on her face remained the same, and she still maintained the joyful expression when she looked at the bride when she entered the door, but her eyes dimmed, "Su Cheng, you and Sansui are both my younger brothers." ”
Her steps pulled away, and she walked inward:
"For so many years, I have recognized you as my younger brother, not because you are younger than me, nor because I want to mess up anything in terms of seniority, but I hope that our relationship will end here." She gestured with her hand to stop her, and then walked away: "The bride's maiden is almost here, and I will go in to entertain them." ”
Su Cheng stumbled a few steps, the melodious joy in the room was so piercing in his ears that he almost stood unsteadily, and finally leaned on the pillar with one hand, looking up to the sky and smiling.
"For so many years, you have been so stubborn, but don't forget, but I am also so stubborn......"
I don't know if she said this sentence or did he say it. (To be continued.) )
