Su Ying's hand flickered, and some tea spilled out.

Qi Yating hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and also took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Shen's business is doing big, and Master Shen Mo's homework is good, so my father is also very optimistic about this family business, and I just invited Uncle Shen to talk about it today."

Su Ying quickly regained her composure, and responded with a smile: "Shen Mo is both talented and good-looking, and his family background is solid, and it is true that there are many people who have come to Uncle Shen to talk about matchmaking recently, and the county magistrate has a discerning eye, so it is natural for him to take a fancy to him." It's just that I don't know if Miss Qi is willing to do this family business? ”

"Of course I do!" As soon as Qi Yating was excited, her mouth became faster, and after speaking, she realized that she was too composed, and said in a gentle voice: "How can I not listen to the words of my parents?" Sister Su, you say, isn't it? ”

Su Ying nodded and said, "It's indeed as Miss Qi said." However, did the prefectural magistrate ask the meaning of silence? ”

Qi Yating was waiting for this sentence.

"I think he must have been willing. After all, Shen Gongzi is now studying hard day and night, dedicated to the imperial examination, if I have my father's help, his road will be easier, won't it? ”

This time she learned to be well-behaved, and she spoke more tactfully than last time.

But how could Su Ying not hear the threat in it?

"According to Miss Qi's meaning, if the Shen family does not agree to this family business, the road to the silent imperial examination will be difficult?"

"Sister doesn't mean that, Sister Su, don't think about it."

At this point, it's time for the maid to appear.

"Miss, it's not early, we should go back, Mrs. invited the most famous embroiderer in the county today, and she has to come to make a wedding dress for Miss."

Qi Yating's little face was flushed, and she squirmed and got up to say goodbye.

"I'm very happy to see Sister Su today, but I have to go home, and I will come to the shop next time to buy a few things."

Another maid helped her young lady and said with a smile: "Next time I come to the shop, the young lady may marry Shen Gongzi and become the owner of this shop." When the time comes, you can take what you like directly, how can you still say that you will buy it. ”

"You girl, you're really poor."

The three masters and servants left in a fluttering manner.

Su Ying was left alone, alone and melancholy.

Qi County Ling personally came out to propose marriage to the Shen family, which can be said to have given the Shen family enough face.

She has already broken off the marriage contract with Shen Mo, and it is understandable that the Shen family will marry another family.

But how could she be sour in her heart?

Touching his forehead, it seems that the feeling of being kissed just now is still there.

Crispy, numb, itchy.

It's also very sweet.

She really wanted to slap Qi Yating just now, but Shen Mo liked herself, not her.

But she held back.

Because of the silence and hard study day and night, it is indeed for the imperial examination.

But if you offend the Qi County Order, then the first step towards the imperial examination, the county test, and the Qi County Order can make all the efforts of Shen Mo go to waste.

If the Qi County Order does a little more desperately, he can even find an excuse or directly frame it, which can make Shen Mo bear a stain and forever cut off his qualifications for the imperial examination.

She couldn't hurt the silence.

Su Ying buried herself in the desk, trying to numb herself with her work, and she didn't even pay attention to when Shen Jinbao came in.

Shen Jinbao looked tired, and he was much more serious, and he didn't feel as relaxed as before going out.

I sat for a while before I coughed twice.

Su Ying's heart was shocked.

"Uncle Shen, when did you come back? I'm sorry I didn't see you come back. ”

Shen Jinbao waved his hand.

"It's okay, I just came back too, you're busy with yours."

There are some things that Su Ying wants to ask to understand.

But in the end, I want to stop talking.

In the end, he only said, "Shen Mo has already returned to the village, saying that the exam is imminent, and he can't delay his homework." ”

"Okay, okay." Shen Jinbao paced back and forth, thinking about looking at the account book, but he didn't have the heart at all, for fear that it would be more troublesome to get the wrong account, so he said: "I think I have to go back to deal with the wasteland today, so I won't live in the store today, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning." ”

Su Ying reluctantly smiled and responded, "Okay, Uncle Shen is slower on the road." ”

When the others left, Su Ying closed the door of the workshop and locked himself in a daze.

Finally, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, the whole store has two days off.

Su Ying paid everyone and went back to the village with everyone.

Zhang Dayong couldn't move yet, so he slept in the same room with Su Wenhai.

Su Ying went back, and he couldn't let him move out, so he acquiesced to his existence.

The Su family has a simple population, several generations of single transmission, and there are no relatives, so the food for the New Year's hospitality can be made at that time, and there is no need to work in advance.

Su Wenhai's cooking skills have improved a lot, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he had to show his hands.

Su Ying couldn't intervene, so she was talking to her father in the kitchen.

"Why is Dad so happy? What, am I about to have a stepmother? ”

Su Wenhai's old face turned red.

"Stinky girl, she is talking more and more presumptuously, daring to make such jokes with her father."

"Okay, no kidding, just look at my father's jubilant appearance, it's usually rare."

"Of course Daddy is happy." Su Wenhai clumsily chose to wash the spinach, preparing to make a hot spinach egg drop soup for his daughter, "Dad is happy that your relatives are happy." ”

"Huh?"

Su Ying thought of silence again, and didn't know how to answer her father's words.

Su Wen Haishen mysteriously revealed the news to his daughter.

"A few days ago, your Uncle Shen told me that he was going to find a matchmaker to propose marriage as soon as possible, and my father has been happy because of this for the past few days."

Su Ying's heart sank.

Listening to Su Wenhai talking to himself, he wondered:

"But it's twenty-nine, and I haven't seen the matchmaker come to the door, so I can't wait until tomorrow, the Chinese New Year's Eve, to propose relatives, right?"

Or do you have to wait until the first day of the new year?

But it's also strange that I haven't heard him mention it when I see you Uncle Shen in the past two days.

Are you going to surprise us then?

Hey, let my dad say, just come and propose marriage directly, we are so familiar with each other, and it's not the first time to propose, why do you want to do these mysterious things?

You say yes, girl? ”

Su Ying guessed that Shen Jinbao's abnormality in the past few days should also be related to the Qi County Order.

She really wanted to tell her father that she should not worry about this family matter.

But tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and she doesn't want to say it to make her father sad for the New Year.

So, it's better to finish this year and tell him again.

Thinking like this, Su Ying deliberately diverted the topic.

"Is Brother Da Yong's health better? Grandpa Li himself is still lying on the bed and can't move, and he can't come over to help Brother Dayong treat, I don't know if it will affect his recovery. ”

Su Wenhai really diverted his attention.

Although Uncle Li couldn't come over to see him, the apprentice he had just accepted came over every day for the past two days, and he changed the dressing and acupuncture, all of which Uncle Li taught him and repeatedly confirmed that it was correct before letting him come over for treatment. Don't worry, Dayong is fine. ”

"That's good." Su Ying saw that his father was cooking decently, so he got up and said, "Then I'll go see Brother Dayong." ”
