first sat together and talked for a while, and then gave things to Zhou Ruoyi.

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

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

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

He Yanxiu, "......"

I knew that the four treasures of the study room should be kept for Su Yujin to buy, and it would not become what it is now.

However, this week, Ruoyi is very young, and when he speaks at this time, he is just and round, and he looks like a little adult, which is indeed very pleasing.

He Yanxiu suddenly understood why Su Yujin's smile on his face was a little softer when he faced Zhou Ruoyi.

"That's right, quite ambitious." He Yanxiu nodded approvingly, "In the future, he will be able to become a great weapon."

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

The Zhou family has been a merchant for generations, and it seems that they have no fate in reading.

Although this dynasty is not too strict with the merchants, let alone the fact that the status is even lower, because of the customs and concepts of the previous dynasties, I still prefer that someone in the family can get ahead and become an official.

At present, although Zhou Ruoyi is not very old, he is diligent in his studies, and he is quite talented, if he goes on like this, even if he may not be able to be promoted, but if he can be admitted to Xiucai, he can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

At this time, Second Master He gave the four treasures of the study, and said something like this......

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

Young talents, the future is about more limitless, and the vision is also excellent.

"Second Master He praised it falsely."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and beckoned her subordinates to send some new refreshments.

After talking for a while, eating some refreshments, the people below came to say that lunch was ready.

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

After eating***, the red date and pear soup are served.

Several people talked until the sun was sinking, and seeing that Mrs. Zhou's face was a little tired, Su Yujin and He Yanxiu got up to say goodbye.

Sent the two away, and sent Mrs. Zhou back to the courtyard to rest, and Li accompanied Zhou Ruoyi to count the congratulatory gifts received today.

In addition to Su Yujin and He Yanxiu, there are also the filial piety of some big shopkeepers at the bottom, the hearts of housekeepers and personal servants at home, what are the brushes, rice paperweights, paperweights, shoes and socks, clothes, snacks, and gadgets......

More or less, expensive or cheap, there is always some thought.

Zhou Ruoyi is a child in the end, and he has received so many birthday gifts, this son will be happy, look at this, take that, and can't put it down.

Lee's face was full of love and doting, helping to classify and place them.

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

"This is ......"

"I heard from the housekeeper that this was given by the cloud shopkeeper of Yunzhi Zhai." Zhou Ruoyi said with a smile.

Yun Yongnian sent it. ….

It's no wonder that such a valuable thing is sent.

It's no wonder that Ruyi will be sent......

Seeing that Li was stunned, Zhou Ruoyi blinked, "Mother, what's wrong, but what's wrong with this wishful thinking?"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Li came back to his senses, touched Zhou Ruoyi's face, and smiled, "I'm just thinking, this gold-inlaid jade wishful thinking has the meaning of praying for auspicious wishes, and I think that you can have a smooth life in the future, and everything will go well."

"It's not just me who wants everything to be successful, my mother, grandmother, Sister Su, Second Cousin He, and everyone else have to be all right." Zhou Ruoyi squinted his eyes with a smile, and two small tiger teeth appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"yes." Li Shi also responded with a smile.

But his eyes are full of obscurity that can't be dissolved.

Everything goes well, where can everything go well in this world.

The things you want have always been available but not sought, and if you get something, you have to give up some things in the end.

Li Shi took a deep breath, forced the fog rising from his eyes down, and then looked at the sky outside, "It's not too early, tell someone to set the meal."

"Eat so early?"

After eating at noon, Zhou Ruoyi felt that he still had not finished digesting it in his stomach.

"If you don't want to eat less, I specially ordered the kitchenette to make some light and easy to digest meals." Li said with a smile, "Today is your birthday, so naturally you have to have dinner early, and then go to put the Kong Ming lantern early."

According to local customs, children before the age of 12 must put Kong Ming lanterns on their birthdays, and Kong Ming lanterns need to be filled with the blessings of their elders, which are lit by children, and the higher the rise, the better.

This is the most joyful thing for children on their birthday, and it is also something that the elders are concerned about.

Zhou Ruoyi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, mother."

The mother and son talked and laughed, and left 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 the banquet in the palace could not be taken off, so he wanted to take Xing'an back to Beijing together.

Before leaving, he gave Su Yujin a silver ticket of five hundred taels.

"The end of the year is approaching, you can take it and buy some New Year's goods, and if I have time in the next year, I will come to see you again, and see if I can get some rewards from the palace, if there are good ones, I will bring them to you together."

"Second Master Xie." Su Yujin was not polite, and put it all away, but also raised his eyebrows.

This money is the money given to buy New Year's goods, not the money to buy jade pendants last time?

Should she vaguely eliminate this account, or should she return it to one yard and keep it in mind?

Touching the thick silver ticket, thinking that He Yanxiu had also bought her a lot of high-quality fabrics and vase ornaments in the past few days, Su Yujin felt that he should choose the former.

After all, He Yanxiu is generous and generous, and she can't learn from the little family, she is only allowed to accept the money of others, and she is not allowed to give a penny herself, and she is not allowed to pull out the iron rooster.

Thinking like this, Su Yujin locked the silver ticket in the small box and put it in a proper place to hide it.

Just finished these work, Zhao and Yu Yongye came to the door.

Come today, it's the deadline.

According to the eight characters of the man and woman, the man looks at 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 date is set on the eighth day of the fourth month, which is an auspicious day for all things.

It is a etiquette to ask for a date, unless the family is particularly particular, most women will not refute it.

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

After setting a wedding date, the next step is to prepare for marriage.

The man prepares the various etiquettes and banquet things of the day, decorates the wedding room, etc., and the woman also prepares the etiquette, but more often prepares the dowry of the daughter.
