Chapter 168: Five Years Later

"Master Hou's kindness, we understand it." Shi Jin smiled and spoke, politely rejecting Meng Chang's proposal.

In fact, when Meng Chang said it, he already thought that he would be rejected, but he still opened his mouth.

Now that he has been rejected, he can't force it.

Two days later, Meng Chang's team was the first to leave and return to Kyoto.

Shi Jin led the two little girls to stay here for another two days, and also left for the next destination.

is different from when she came to Yan's hometown, but now she will live for a period of time wherever she goes.

Sometimes I just rent a small yard to live in for a while, and sometimes I go out to find something to do.

Over the years, Shi Jin has accumulated a lot of silver, which is enough for them to spend even if they don't do things.

The reason why I went out to find things to do was to be idle, and the other was to train the sisters.

They can't always follow Shi Jin, and Shi Jin won't always accompany them, they need to exercise.

But fortunately, the sisters were with her, and she had been teaching them all these years, so even if they were to go out and find things to do on their own, they would still do well.

What no one knew was that when he was separated from Meng Chang at the beginning, Shi Jin was a little unaccustomed to it.

Meng Chang actually has such an unaccustomed attitude, but the two of them are in different directions, so they don't know.

For example, when it was time to eat, after Meng Chang sat down, he would always order someone to find Shi Jin and the two little girls.

It was only then that he realized once again that they had separated from each other and went to where they were going.

With time, unaccustomed gradually became a habit, but in my heart, there seemed to be some vacancy.

——

Five years later.

"Mother, I'm back!" Erya came in from outside the house and put away the umbrella.

Shi Jin was leaning on the couch to read, half a year ago, the mother came here and bought a small courtyard, which was considered to be settled.

"Sister hasn't come back yet?" After taking a sip of water, Er Ya looked left and right, but didn't see the eldest girl, so he said again.

"I came back and went out again." The two little girls have become big girls, and after settling here, matchmakers often come to the door.

Not only the local area, but also the places they passed by at the beginning, and some people invited matchmakers to come to the door to propose marriage.

It's just that for the marriage of the two of them, Shi Jin is only responsible for the final check, and doesn't care about anything else.

To be precise, gatekeeping is just a meeting for a meal, going through the motions, the children are older, they have their own ideas, and they can also bear the consequences of their own choices.

"It won't be ......" After Shi Jin's words were finished, Er Ya suddenly laughed.

Recently, the eldest girl seems to have a sweetheart, and she often goes out.

You must know that in the past, the second girl was more willing to go out, and the eldest girl was at home most of the time, or at the home of a teacher who could teach her.

Nowadays, the eldest girl and the second girl are both famous, one of the sisters is good at business, and the other is good at female celebrity, and the embroidered things can be sent to the palace.

As for Shi Jin, because he is the mother of the sisters, he is even more known.

After settling here, Shi Jin asked someone to help carry a letter to inform Yun Niang where he was now.

A year ago, Yun Niang's family left Kyoto and settled in Haicheng.

Although the distance is long, they have been in touch all these years.

"Mother, Sister's marriage, is it about to ......" Erya sat next to Shi Jin with a smile and asked her.

"It's up to your sister to do this, if she wants to, we'll take care of it." Over the years, Shi Jin has saved a lot of dowries for the sisters, and the sisters themselves have saved a lot.

Because he is often outside, for the sake of safety, most of the things saved by Shi Jin are sent to Wanjia's stores for preservation, and it is safer to ask them to help deliver them when needed.

In addition to having contact with Yun Niang, Shi Jin also has a relationship with Miss Wan.

Half a year ago, Miss Wan added a child to her family, and as for the child's father, Shi Jin didn't know much.

Anyway, Miss Wan herself is very happy, this is her child, and she will become the heir of the Wan family in the future.

"You just talk about your sister, what about you?" In addition to the matchmakers, there are also people who go directly to Erya and hope that she can marry her.

"Mother, I don't want to get married." In the past, Erya didn't think about this, but as she grew up, she understood more and more things, saw more and more, and gradually had her own ideas.

She didn't want to get married and have children, and she thought it was good now.

"I don't know if it will change in the future, but that's what I think now. Mother, you won't be angry, will you? ”

Of course Shi Jin will not be angry, she has already told the sisters that no matter what their choice is in the future, as long as they think about all the consequences and can bear them, they can do it.

If she succeeds, it is naturally good, even if she fails, it doesn't matter, she will be the most stable backer behind the sisters.

"What's there to be angry about, my mother believes that all the choices you make are the result of your careful consideration."

Towards the end of the evening, the eldest girl came back from outside, and looking at her appearance, it seemed that she had decided something.

Sure enough, during the meal, she also told Erya her thoughts.

"Tomorrow, the matchmaker will come to the door to propose, and my mother will also help me take a look at it at that time."

Unlike Erya, the eldest girl has always preferred stability, although she has been walking everywhere with Shi Jin over the years, but in the end, she will be stable here, and it is also because of her.

"Got it figured?" Shi Jinxiao looked at her, the little girl has always been assertive, since she opened her mouth, she must have decided.

The eldest girl nodded, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, when the time comes, my mother and Erya will help you look at each other." In fact, Shi Jin knows the person chosen by the eldest girl.

——

The carriage came in from outside the city, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard, and the curtain was lifted, and a man came out of the carriage and looked around.

"Master, it's around here." The little guy replied to the man.

The man answered, and entered the house with an umbrella.

The house is not very big, but if you want to live in a few families, it is enough, the most important thing is that the house is very well arranged, and it is a good yard known to the local people.

It's just that such a yard has already had an owner, and others can only look at it when they pass outside.

After turning the house around, the man went into the house and sat down, his face was not very good, and the little servant followed him, with a worried face on his face.

The master of the little guy is not someone else, it is Meng Chang.

After separating from Shi Jin a few years ago, he went back to Kyoto, and everything went well, but he was secretly injured two years ago and almost died.

I've been raising it for the past two years, and I'm finally able to go out.

He didn't tell Shi Jin about the injury, Shi Jin didn't know, he came here, and Shi Jin didn't know.

The specific address was sent by Meng Chang to ask Yun Niang, he was not in Kyoto for a long time, and some of Shi Jin's letters were lost due to an accident before.

"Ask someone to prepare some gifts, and go back to visit Jinniang's house."
