Chapter 30: Pisces
"Grandfather!"
"What's wrong?"
After dinner, Su Zijin thought about it again and again, but gritted his teeth and prepared to tell Qin Jingming about his visit tomorrow.
"Someone will come to visit you tomorrow, so don't arrange anything else."
Changqingzhou has always liked to rub hemp, and often goes to the teahouse in the city to rub two handfuls when he has nothing to do, Su Zijin said hello to his grandfather in advance.
Chang Qingzhou looked at his wife, the two looked at each other, and Tao looked at Su Zijin, "Zijin'er, who is coming to our house?" Should we prepare in advance? ”
Although the Chang family is rich, it is an indifferent and casual style. There is no pomp and circumstance of ordinary rich and noble families, eating and drinking are mainly homely, and there is not much attention to the New Year's Festival, and comfort is the mainstay.
But the first time Zi Jin'er opened her mouth to invite people into the mansion as guests, they naturally thought about whether they should prepare in advance to show their grandeur.
Su Zijin endured the shyness in his heart, and tried his best to say expressionlessly, "It is the person who His Majesty opened his mouth to give marriage, he came to Shu County, and wanted to come over to meet your second elder." ”
Chang Qingzhou was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly woke up, "Your father said that you were trying to avoid marrying the four princes, so you avoided Shu County, you said so, is the fourth prince coming?" ”
In the end, Old Man Chang unconsciously lowered his voice.
Facing the gaze of the second elder, Su Zijin nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”
"Today in Xue's Mansion, I met the four princes who came to pick up Mocui Peony, and he wanted to come to visit tomorrow."
"Don't you want to marry the royal family? Why did you let him come over? ”
Tao asked a little puzzled, and Chang Qingzhou also looked at his granddaughter.
Su Zijin was even more embarrassed at this time. She deliberately hid in Shu County, but was easily shaken by the words of the fourth prince.
Facing the eyes of the second elder, Su Zijin thought about it, or told the truth, Su Zijin told the ancestors the words of the four princes today, and then said, "I think the words of the four princes also make sense." Instead of stumbling, give it a try with the right people. ”
Old Man Chang listened to his granddaughter's words and couldn't help but complain, "This kid is really clever, but he can be regarded as sincere." ”
Su Zijin nodded, "I also nodded and agreed when I saw his sincerity." Just like choosing a shopkeeper, we must first see sincerity, then character, and finally ability. Now that the sincerity of the four princes is there, next, I will examine his character and ability, which are qualified, and then make further contact. ”
Tao Shi glanced at his master, "Zijin'er, do you think so?" ”
"Hmm." Su Zijin nodded, "It feels too ethereal, I must give him an assessment standard, it just so happens that the standard when I chose the shopkeeper last year was very good, so I will use it." In this way, at the very least, a suitable and good person is selected. As for the rest, it is by providence. ”
In her previous life, she was too mediocre and busy with her life, and in this life, she was loved by her parents, and even had her grandparents as a backing, so she didn't hesitate about her possible injuries and wanted to give it a try. What about royalty? She dared to pick it up and put it down.
The next day, Qin Jing came to visit, and Mrs. Chang and his wife met Qin Jing, the fourth son of the emperor who had been famous for a long time, in the lobby.
"Zijin came back to me yesterday and told me, you young people get along, as long as you juniors work hard, our elders are happy to see it. We have only one son in two generations of the Chang family, and we don't want her to be rich and rich, we just want her to have a smooth ride for the rest of her life. ”
Qin Jing solemnly clenched his fists and bent down to salute, "Don't worry, I'm not a frivolous person, everything I do is a well-thought-out idea, I won't change it easily, and I won't hurt Zijin." ”
Chang Qingzhou nodded, and in the face of the promise of the four princes, he listened to it in his heart, and that's it. At his age, he has experienced too much betrayal and the world, and he will not believe in delivery because of a promise, but will do it and see.
Tao greeted Qin Jing and Su Zijin with a kind face, and took out a delicate wooden box from the maid behind him, and after opening it, there was a pair of warm and delicate mutton fat white jade inside.
The old lady looked at the two of them with a smile, "This is what I prepared for Zijin's mother back then, but then the war was chaotic and I never had a chance to send it out, and the same is true for you." ”
Qin Jing stretched out his hand, took the jade pendant and looked at it in his hand, it was a pair of oval Pisces jade pendants, the carving was simple, and it was rare that the material was oily and shiny.
Qin Jing handed one of them to Su Zijin, and the other directly replaced the dragon pendant on his body.
Su Zijin looked at Qin Jing's movements, then looked at his grandfather with a smile, and tied Pisces to the waist of his skirt a little uncomfortably.
She has never loved these things, but now she suddenly wears a pair of jade pendants with Qin Jing, and for some reason, she feels a little different.
"Okay, Zijin, you take the four princes and them around our mansion, take a look, our Changfu is in these mansions in Jinguan City, and the scenery is not bad."
"Yes, grandfather."
…
"The scenery in this house is ordinary, only this attic can be regarded as open, let's go up and have a cup of tea."
Su Zijin took Qin Jing to the top of the second-floor attic of the Chang family. It is close to the North Mountain, and from the attic, you can see the green hills, which makes you feel open.
Qin Jing looked at it from afar, and was really attracted by the scenery, and casually praised it, "Not bad." ”
Su Zijin nodded heavily, "Of course, I am in Changfu, and my favorite thing is to come here every day to sit for a while, look at the distance, and feel a lot more comfortable." ”
Qin Jing sat down next to Su Zijin, took the teapot prepared by the people on the table and poured a cup of tea for each of them, and said pity, "You can take a look at it more in the next few days, there are few places in Kyoto that are so magnificent, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see this scenery when I return to Kyoto." ”
Su Zijin shook his head, "Why do you want to take a look at it more these days, I still have to stay in Shu County for a little more time, don't worry." ”
Qin Jing put down the teacup that was brought to his mouth, "What do you mean by this?" Yesterday you agreed to my marriage contract, and you just met your grandfather again, and Pisces is still on you, so you have gone back on your word? ”
Facing Qin Jing's questioning, Su Zijin was a little inexplicable, and said strangely, "Should I go back to Beijing if I have a marriage contract?" I still have things to deal with in Shu County, and I won't go back for the time being. ”
Facing Qin Jing's suddenly sinking face, Su Zijin scratched his head.
"I thought we had a consensus."
Qin Jing said in a deep voice.
Su Zijin nodded cooperatively, "It is indeed a consensus to make a marriage contract." But if I have a marriage contract, can I only go back to Beijing? As I said, I still want to spend more time in Shu County. If the marriage contract you are talking about means that after the engagement, I will be under your control and cannot go out at will, then forget it, I misunderstood, please ask Qin Gongzi to return the Pisces to me, I have to think about it again. ”
Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Qin Jing was silent.
