    After hugging Brother Chun and teasing him for a while, grandma seemed a lot happy.

    Jin Chao looked on, but felt a little emotional in his heart.  Ji Yao is almost eighteen, and he doesn't even have a roommate, let alone a child.  Usually at his age, those who are lucky enough to have several children.  Grandma could have held her great-grandson in her arms

    She felt that she should think about this matter carefully.  Ji Yao didn't like her, and she was even less willing to let others marry her reluctantly.  And her marriage is still a problem after all. After all, she will be sixteen after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    If she wants to stay in the Gu family without marrying, she must have capital, but her mother¡¯s dowry does not count. As long as she does not marry, the dowry cannot really belong to her.  She also needed someone she could rely on. It was impossible for her father not to marry his step-in-law for the rest of his life. When his step-in-law got married and had children, she might not be as carefree as she is today.  If she relied on Gu Jinrong, she felt that he was really unreliable

    ¡°And her reputation is really not very good in Yanjing.

    Jin Chao feels a headache when he thinks about these problems, and now he can only take one step at a time.  At least I have taken care of my mother's dowry first, put the proceeds into my own private treasury, and saved up money, so I don't have to worry about so much.

    After talking to my grandmother for a while, the two went to Xikuoyuan together.  Grandma wanted to take her to meet Mrs. Xu.

    Jin Chao was impressed by Mrs. Xu, not because she was the wife of General Xu, but because of her daughter.

    "After she married into the Chen family, there was the Luo family in Luo Xian Hutong across an alley from the Chen family. In his early years, the Luo family's grandfather was an imperial merchant and a silk dealer. Every year, he imported Sichuan brocade and Hangzhou silk to the palace.  When the Luo family passed into the hands of his son, it began to decline gradually, and the imperial merchants could not succeed and became ordinary big merchants.  The grandfather's grandson was even more incompetent. He liked to hang out in the fireworks alley and ended up dying on a woman's belly. He had to be carried back from Chunyi Tower. It was extremely ugly.

    "And Mrs. Xu's daughter married this grandson of the Luo family.

    Mrs. Xu is a shrewd and capable person, and her daughter is certainly not bad either.  It's just that she has an ordinary appearance, but also tends to be arrogant. She was not satisfied with the choice for many years and refused to marry. When she was nineteen years old, she realized that she was anxious, but no one came forward to propose marriage.  The Xu family had no choice but to let her marry the grandson of the Luo family. After all, the Luo family had been an imperial merchant in the early years, and some of their descendants were officials, so it should be good. Who knew the grandson of the Luo family would be such a person.

    When the grandson of the Luo family died, the neighbors would always burn incense. Jin Chao just saw Mrs. Xu¡¯s daughter. She only remembered her red eyes and extremely calm expression. The Luo family¡¯s funeral was well organized.  Very safe.  Only then did she lament that it was a pity to lose such a person.

    Dongkuoyuan heard that Mrs. Ji Wu had come with Jin Chao, and her eldest aunt, second uncle, second aunt and others came to greet her.  Everyone went to sit in the main hall first. Ji Can had just got engaged. Ji Wu's face turned red with embarrassment when he asked about it.  Jin Chao remembered that he and Chen Xuan were also very harmonious and smiled at him.

    It took Ji Yao a while before he entered the main hall.  He was wearing an azure-colored Hangzhou silk jacket, with a pair of white jade pendants hanging from his waist. His handsome face had no expression at all.  Ji Wu called him over and asked him what he was doing.

    Ji Yao replied: "I just talked to the shopkeeper of Xianggui Building for a while." He then smiled at Jin Chao and said, "My cousin is here too."

    Ji Wu frowned. Judging from Ji Yao's appearance, it seemed that he was neither salty nor indifferent to Jin Chao.

    She took Jin Chao's hand and said to her: "Your second cousin is now learning management from me. If you don't understand something about business, just ask him. He just went to the farm in Tongyi two months ago.  After staying for a month, I asked him to learn how to serve a farmer. Do you think he has become a lot darker?"

    Jin Chao could only smile. She didn¡¯t remember whether Ji Yao was black or white, and there seemed to be no difference.

    Hearing Ji Wu¡¯s words, Ji Yao pursed his lips.  My eldest aunt Song saw it from the side, and she felt even more sorry for her son, so she smiled and said, "I guess our cousin can't remember clearly Mrs. Xu is still in the wing, why don't we go and take a look first."

    After hearing this, Jin Chao understood in her heart that her aunt did not want her son to be wronged and marry her.

    Why not become an adult?  Jin Chao thought for a while and said to his grandmother: "You can't get rid of me. Tomorrow you go to Shexian Tower and I will go too. Cousin Ji Yao learned management from you, but you won't teach me."  Sister Chao? Sister Chao is not much stupider than cousin Ji Yao" After saying that, he looked at Ji Wu very pitifully, which actually made Ji Wu laugh.

    Ji Yao was relieved after hearing this.

    Mrs. Xu was drinking tea in her eldest aunt's side room, and her eldest aunt and second aunt accompanied them there.

    The eldest aunt said to Jin Chao on the road: "Your third cousin Ji Yun went to Wanping.I won't be back until a few days, otherwise I can see you again.  "

    Jin Chao asked: "What are you doing in Wanping, third cousin?" Shouldn't he be studying in the Imperial College?

    The eldest aunt smiled and said: "He is a prisoner now and does not need to stay in the Imperial College all the time. The teacher he taught said that he would read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, so he asked him to travel and come back. He had a classmate in the Imperial College. This provincial examination  He got third place in the examination in Beizhili, and he is studying with others!"

    Grandma smiled and said to Jin Chao: "he is the seventh son of the Chen family. When your grandfather was still alive, he and Mr. Chen were sworn friends. Like your grandfather, their family started in Baoding Prefecture. Baoding is now building roads.  We and the Chen family donated money to build the temple. Therefore, the relationship is particularly good. The marriage between your fourth cousin and the second lady of the Chen family has been discussed long ago. Otherwise, with the current prominence of the Chen family, you  How did the fourth cousin get the second lady of the Chen family?"

    Jin Chao could not help but be silent for a moment after hearing this.  She naturally knows the origin of the Chen family and the Ji family.

    She was just a little emotional. In this life, Chen Xuanqing still ranked third in the imperial examination. When he takes part in the autumn imperial examination the next year, he will be selected by the emperor to be the best, awarded the rank of Jinshi, and be awarded the Imperial Academy's compilation title.  Although there must be influence from the Chen family, Chen Xuanqing himself is also extremely smart.  He was born in Tanhua, and had the support of Master Chen San. Later, his official career went smoothly. In the year of Jin Chao's death, Chen Xuanqing was already a bachelor of Dongge University and a third-rank minister of household affairs.

    Jin Chao sighed. She didn't want to have anything to do with Chen Xuanqing in this life anyway, so why should she care what happens to him in the future.

    The little girl sent the message, and Mrs. Xu came out to greet them in person. Behind her stood a woman wearing a silver-red flowered gown and eight dark green moonlight skirts. She could only be considered delicate in appearance, with a bun and a hairpin.  Pair of gilt hairpins inlaid with yellow tourmalines.  The man smiled slightly and bowed to Mrs. Ji Wu.

    Ji Wu smiled and pulled Gu Jinchao over and introduced to Mrs. Xu: "she is my granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Shi'an Gu family."

    Mrs. Xu smiled and praised Jin Chao: " He is really as beautiful as a flower. I liked him when I saw him."

    Ji Wu introduced Mrs. Xu again, and Jin bowed down to greet her.  Ji Wu introduced the woman behind Mrs. Xu, "she is the second young lady of the Xu family." The Xu family had a concubine before her.

    Jin Chao smiled at her and called "Sister".  She naturally knew Xu Jingyi, the second young lady of the Xu family, and had dealt with her in her previous life.

    Xu Jingyi also called her sister, and several people entered the room to talk.

    Jin Chao thought to himself that it seemed that Mrs. Xu was really desperate.  Now he is taking his daughter with him to the banquet, presumably because he wants to seize the opportunity to talk about the marriage to his daughter.  Also, Xu Jingyi is nineteen years old this year.

    When Mrs. Xu was talking to her grandmother, she kept asking about Ji Yao, whether he had an early engagement, or what he was doing now.  Even though Xu Jingyi was calm, her face turned red with embarrassment and she pulled her mother's sleeves.  Mrs. Xu turned a blind eye.

    ¡­This question was too obvious, and Jin Chao felt uncomfortable for Xu Jingyi while listening.

    Mrs. Ji Wu smiled slightly, but answered Mrs. Xu's questions without missing a beat: "Although he hasn't been engaged yet, I think he is interested, but the child is embarrassed to say it. I'm afraid if it's convenient then, I'll ask you to be a matchmaker."  "She has already thought about letting Ji Yao marry Jin Chao, and she will definitely not let other women take advantage of it.  And even if she doesn't marry Jin Chao, it won't be Xu Jingyi's turn She is two years older than Ji Yao, and she doesn't know if she has some hidden illness that keeps her from getting married.  Naturally, Ji Wu didn't want her direct grandson to be left behind.

    Mrs. Xu was a little disappointed. She came to help Ji Can as a matchmaker because she wanted to have a good relationship with the Ji family. She had already set her sights on Ji Yao.  It is rare for a disciple of an aristocratic family to be so calm, and even now, none of them has a common room

    She smiled and stopped mentioning Ji Yao. Seeing that Gu Jinchao was sewing linen on his chest, she couldn't help but ask some questions.  I heard that Mr. Ji was going to die, and I felt very sorry.

    Gu Jinchao and his grandmother came back after having dinner in Xikuoyuan.  Grandma told Jin Chao about Xu Jingyi: "it's not good for a girl to be too arrogant. It's hard to get married until you're old enough."

    Jin Chao thought about it, Xu Jingyi was not arrogant, she was just stubborn. She was also a strong-willed person.  When her husband passed away in her previous life, the Luo family was not yet under her control, although the widow had a bad reputation due to her exposure to the public with her young son.  But Mr. Luo didn't say anything, and others at most whispered behind his back, never daring to say it in front of Xu Jingyi.

    The next day Jinchao got up early and went to Shexian Tower.  Grandma was already taking care of things.  Nowadays, my eldest aunt is in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard, and the people my grandmother meets are all respectable farm stewards and shopkeepers.  After all, the Ji family is a large merchant family. The stewards and shopkeepers came in quickly. Mr. Zeng was standing by with an abacus, and there were several accountants nearby who were keeping books.

    Jin Chao liked to see her grandmother busy with these things. The girl brought her a brocade tea and sat behind the curtain. She listened to how her grandmother explained to the shopkeeper.

    "The Lu Silk Village in Xianghe is a good place, but there are also ready-made clothes, estimated clothes, and Hangzhou silk shops nearby. It is really not prosperous enough, and such a good village is wasted." Grandma told the big shopkeeper, she thought  He thought again, "Why don't we move Lu Silk Shop to the shop across the street and build a restaurant there? The Xianghe area is going to have its embankments repaired. Once the canal is connected, business will definitely be good" (Remember this site)  Website: www.hlnovel.com)Come, Mr. Zeng is standing by with an abacus, and there are several accountants nearby who are keeping books.
