Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

When Su Niang walked into the small courtyard, Yu Gen and Yu Xinger ran out after hearing the commotion and looked at her curiously.

Su Niang nodded to them gently, looked at Pomegranate and said, "The girl said that I will live in the south wing from now on."

"Oh! Come with me!"

Pomegranate led her into the only room that was still vacant.

Su Niang put down her bag and asked, "Is there any water at home? I want to take a bath."

"Yes, I'll prepare it for you."

"Thank you, I'll just come by myself."

…………

At this time, when Jiang Mingyue was sorting the cloth on the shelves, Mrs. Lin took her daughter's hand and entered Jinxiu Fang.

"How are you doing, Shopkeeper Han?"

Han Lanlan looked up and saw that Lin was laughing before she said anything.

"Why are you free to come here today? Are you busy at home?"

"You're done, come here and pick out some clothes for my son."

When Mrs. Lin was talking to Shopkeeper Han, Lin Xiaoju ran behind Jiang Mingyue and called out.

"Sister Jiang!"

Jiang Mingyue looked back and saw that Lin Xiaoju was surprised and said, "Why are you here?"

"I came here with my mother-in-law."

When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she looked up and saw Mrs. Lin walking over.

"Mingyue, please choose some decent clothes for my son."

"Okay, as for the fabric, do you want cotton or silk?"

"Cotton, but the best quality cotton."

When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she knew what was going on.

"Aunt Lin, you and Xiaoju wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Jiang Mingyue spoke to Uncle Wang, took the key to the warehouse and entered the back hall. After a while, she walked out holding four pieces of clothes.

"Aunt Lin, Xiucai Lin should be able to wear all four of these clothes. See which one you like."

Lin immediately picked two pieces.

"Please give my daughter another six feet of cloth. I plan to make her two summer clothes."

"it is good!"

Jiang Mingyue put away the remaining two pieces of clothes and asked curiously while pulling the cloth.

"Is there any happy event at Aunt Lin's house?"

Lin did not hide it.

"My son is getting engaged, so I want to buy him some decent clothes. When I go back to the girl's house to hire him, I can't wear anything too shabby."

There was perhaps a hint of cheerfulness in his tone.

"Yo! This is a great event. Congratulations."

Mrs. Lin said cheerfully: "Thank you!"

Jiang Mingyue handed the torn cloth to Lin, and she took out a few melons tied with straw ropes from her backpack and handed them to her.

"The ones grown at home are quite delicious. Miss Jiang keeps them and eats them later."

"Hey! Thank you Aunt Lin."

Jiang Mingyue had been dealing with her for so long, and the two of them were already familiar with each other. Jiang Mingyue was not polite to her.

She put the melons away, personally brought the two of them to the counter, spoke to the shopkeeper, gave Lin a discount of four cents, and pulled a red headband and gave it to Lin Xiaoju.

"Thank you Sister Jiang!"

Jiang Mingyue gently touched her head.

"You're welcome!"

She sent the two of them out of Jinxiufang and came back. Aunt He walked up to her and asked with a gossipy face: "Her son is getting engaged?"

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.

"Do you know it's that girl?"

Jiang Mingyue shook her head. Although she was extremely curious, she had the nerve to ask.

Mr. He didn't know what she was doing, and turned to look at Han Lanlan: "Shopkeeper, do you know?"

Han Lanlan closed the ledger.

"That girl is from Kyoto."

Hearing this, Mr. He exclaimed; "People from Kyoto?"

Even Jiang Mingyue was a little surprised.

"Well, that girl's father is an official in the Ministry of Rites!"

"My dear, how could such a family like Lin Xiucai?" He asked curiously.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shopkeeper Han said a few more words to them.

"It sounds nice to be an official, but in fact, they have no rank and no salary, just like those petty officials in our county."

Jiang Mingyue understood after thinking about it. There were princes and nobles everywhere in Kyoto, and there were as many dignitaries as dogs. Officials like this were the most insignificant and low-level people.

"For small officials like them, their salary from the yamen they work for is only five or six taels of silver per month.

It's not easy to live in Kyoto. With five or six taels of silver, you not only have to support your family, but you also have to deal with people. If you have a few children at home, it's okay, but if you have many children, your life will be miserable.

My third cousin-in-law is like this. On the surface, he looks very nice. In fact, the family is crowded into a small courtyard of 140 to 50 square meters. They don't eat meat once every two to three months. The clothes of several children are also all. After wearing the big one, put on the small one.

Every time my third uncle visits them, he has to bring them a lot of things, both large and small. "

Jiang Mingyue can understand it. She and her brother have monthly expenses of four or five taels. This is still in Wanping, and the expenses in Kyoto will definitely be higher.

"Oh my god! I heard you say that these officials are not as good as me." He said.

Han Lanlan smiled when he heard this and said: "Most of them are not as good as you, and those who know how to run a business are aside. Although Lin Hanshan is just a scholar now, no one knows whether he will win the imperial examination in the future, whether he will be a high school Jinshi, and what about him? He has a good character and shows his talents, and his family has bought some fertile land a few days ago. In the eyes of those small officials, he is a good match."

"You are right. Even if Lin Hanshan no longer takes the imperial examination, he can still support his family by finding a job in the county. When his wife goes out, others will respectfully call her scholar's wife."

He paused and asked again: "How did Lin Xiucai get such a marriage?"

"I really know this."

Jiang Mingyue heard that Han Lanlan's voice was a little low, so she walked a few steps towards them. There is no woman who doesn't like gossip.

"Two years ago, Lin Xiucai went to Kyoto with his classmates and rescued his father-in-law, who had a sprained leg from chasing a thief. Out of kindness, Lin Xiucai personally sent him home.

It is said that his father-in-law fell in love with Lin Xiucai at first sight, which led to the good marriage today. "

"It shows that good people are rewarded."

After Jiang Mingyue finished speaking, Aunt He and Shopkeeper Han suddenly looked at her and blinked in confusion.

"what happened?"

"We have all seen it." Aunt He looked at her with a smile and said.

"What did you see?" Jiang Mingyue asked puzzledly.

"Your fiancé."

Jiang Mingyue's face suddenly turned red.

Aunt He poked her gently.

"He is really a talented person, I wonder what we should call him?"

Jiang Mingyue lowered her head shyly.

"His last name is Xie!"

After saying that, he didn't give the two of them another chance to gossip, and walked away quickly.

Han Lanlan looked at the people leaving.

"Little girl, you are quite strict with your mouth."

He nodded in agreement, but it was a pity that they didn't ask what they wanted to know most.

Jiang Mingyue stopped in front of the last shelf and patted her hot face. It took a while before she calmed down.

While putting the clothes away, Jiang Mingyue suddenly got a headache when she thought that the matchmaker would come to her house to propose marriage on the ninth day of the lunar month.

During this period, she got along well with Shopkeeper Han and Aunt He. Jiang Mingyue knew that if she opened her mouth, they would definitely be willing to help, but bad things were bad. Before entering Jinxiufang, she told them that she was engaged. .

Jiang Mingyue didn't want them to think that she was a good liar, so she could only find someone else to act as her elder. Fortunately, she still had a few days.
