Xiaozhen went downstairs to look for mulberry branches, she was sitting on the edge of the bed doing work.Sangzhi is slightly older than Xiaozhen by less than two years. He is tall and tall. Because he is not yet married, he has never put up a bun, and there is a big shiny braid behind his head, which is tied with a bright moon ribbon. The shiny silk ribbon was originally tied on a box of creamy pastries brought back by my aunt. The mulberry branches looked pretty in color, so Miss Guan Huanzhu asked for it and tied some beautiful knots for her. The girls wear braids.She was wearing a moon-white bamboo jacket, which was clean and unembroidered, but the neckline and cuffs were rolled with silver thread to create a desired hem.

Xiaozhen often came and went to Sangzhi, but Sangzhi didn't stand up to greet her, she took the work from Sangzhi's hand and saw that it was a small sachet, she turned her face and joked: "Oh, this is embroidered Who do you want to make a token of love for?" Sang Zhi bluffed: "You are an aunt, you are half a master anyway, how can you talk to a girl like that. It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, so I have to make it for the young lady and the young master. Some sachets. In the past few days, I don’t know what kind of bugs got into the window and bit the young master Lianzhou’s arm. I got a sachet and put it next to the pillow, so I can avoid it.” Xiaozhen Picking up another half-embroidered flower in the needlework frame, it turned out that there was a green bamboo on a milky white background. I thought it was for Huanzhu, so I picked up needlework and embroidered it.While embroidering, she raised her eyes and looked at Sangzhi with a half-smile.Sangzhi felt uncomfortable when she saw her and dropped the work in her hand: "Auntie, sit somewhere else, you always look at me like this, I can't stay in this room anymore." Xiaozhen laughed, "Don't go , I came here with the imperial decree, and I want you to kneel down to receive the decree." Sang Zhi also smiled: "The emperor has ordered people to be locked up in the Forbidden City, so who is going to deliver the decree now?" Xiaozhen said: "I Who else can pass the decree for. You sit down quickly, you really have something good to say."

Sangzhi sat down suspiciously, and Xiaozhen told her about Jingxian finding a marriage for her.When Sangzhi heard this, her face flushed, and she couldn't chase Xiaozhen away, but she didn't know what to do for a while.Xiaozhen took her hand and said: "There is no one else in this room now, but I would like to ask you something important. What do you think? If you don't want to, tell Grandma and she will definitely do something else for you." Plan." Sang Zhi shook his head: "I don't know who I am willing or not, but Grandma will definitely help me find a good person for my own good. He has become the second shopkeeper at such a young age. You are smart and capable." Xiaozhen asked: "You don't have any ideas?" Sang Zhi asked in puzzlement: "Thoughts? What ideas can I have? My mother said that according to the old saying, our family belongs to the Gu family. I was born a servant, and I was married to the Shen family with the eldest lady since I was a child. Now it is the Republic of China, and there is no such thing as a master and a servant, and they all earn money on a monthly basis. If you want to leave, you can walk. But , my parents are also in their hometown in Ningbo, and I am alone in Shanghai, where can I go? Even if I go back to Ningbo, it’s just a way of getting married, and my parents can’t help me Let's pick and choose. Besides, the young lady is kind and gentle, and now the businesses outside and at home are all busy. She is still following the old etiquette and worrying about my affairs. How can I give it to her again? What is she uncomfortable with?" Xiao Zhen said sullenly: "Oh, I always think that if there is a chance, I should find someone I know who is willing to marry. I have never seen this person before. I don’t know if I’m tall, short, fat or thin, and I’m going to live with him for the rest of my life. It’s okay to have a good temperament, but if it’s not good, it won’t be ruined.” Sang Zhi smiled: “You married into this family, could it be that you knew our uncle a long time ago?” After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up to find a teapot, and wanted to pour water for Xiaozhen to drink.

Xiaozhen called her to stop: "You don't have to be busy, and you don't have to be uncomfortable. I came here because I couldn't help it, so I wanted to tell you, let you take the opportunity to marry someone you like." Sang Zhi looked outside the door, but no one was passing by, so he sat down and asked Xiaozhen: "We are about the same age in this house, and we can talk a few words. In a word, why did you go this way." Xiaozhen took Sangzhi's hand, "My family and grandma's natal family are distant relatives. The Gu family is also a famous family, and there are also some poor and downtrodden offshoots of such a rich family. My father used to be a teacher in the Gu family school, but he coughed up blood for some reason. Before he died, he left a sentence, saying that even if the family went bankrupt, he had to support my younger brother to go to school. But orphans and widows can take What about going to school? It just so happened that the grandma asked the family to find an aunt for the uncle, so my uncle told my mother. The bride price from the Shen family is enough for my younger brother to go to college. Anyway, you and I are in the same family, so you won't be treated too harshly. It's just that I didn't expect the uncle to be such a person."

Sangzhi sighed: "Now that I think about it, I feel so boring. My mother said that the eldest grandma liked the uncle since she was a child. This is considered to be married to her sweetheart. What will happen in the end? It's not because she is a widow with you. Bo, the eldest grandma is the eldest lady of the Gu family, who grew up like a golden branch and a jade leaf, alas!" Xiaozhen pushed her: "It was to give you the good news, why is she sighing." Sang Zhi gave her a look: "What good news is that?" , didn’t you come to vomit me.” Xiaozhen said with a smile: “Who vomited you? It’s not good. You have to sigh every day over these things, and don’t live anymore. The good things have already been told to you. How to go back to grandma, you can figure it out yourself. Everything that can be dismissed has been dispatched."

The next day, Zhaoshi accompanied his sister-in-law to the firm. In the morning, he neatly copied a stack of documents, and in the afternoon, he accompanied her to the factory and shop to inquire about the situation.In the evening, there was a charity reception for disaster relief, and I also attended it with my sister-in-law.It's okay during the day, he just needs to stand by in a respectful manner, in case someone hears that he is the second young master of the Shen family and wants to chat with him at the reception.Although Zhaoshi was young, he had to deal with it mentally in order to show his due upbringing and insight.

He diligently accompanied his sister-in-law, while acting as the second young master of the Shen family who was well-educated and well-spoken, while staring at all kinds of people at the reception, he thought wildly, "The publisher who just came to greet him looks like a book. Sun Hou’er in the movie, but the chairman of the department store behind him looks like Sun Dasheng’s second younger brother.” He was amused, and a man in a suit with golden eyes approached Zhaoshi with a glass of wine, and chatted with him Get up: "Second Master, I don't know if all the cotton in the cotton mill in your house has been harvested? The cotton production in northern Jiangsu has been reduced due to disasters. I am afraid that this year's business will not be easy." Zhaoshi also retracted those messy thoughts and said politely Nodding: "Please ask, this year's raw materials are indeed more difficult, and we have sent people to Hubei to collect cotton. But it is more freight, and the supply is still not a problem." The man asked again with concern: "Nowadays there is a lot of chaos, so be careful on the road!" Zhaoshi responded with a smile: "The family has some contacts with the military, so safety can be guaranteed. May I ask who you are?" The man smiled and said, "Oh, I am From the Commercial Savings Bank, the surname is Zhu."

Zhaoshi suddenly thought of the girl with dimples on the stage that day at the rally, her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the person in front of her, and she immediately realized that this was Chairman Zhu whom Sun Xiangli had mentioned.He stretched out his hand and shook hands with that person: "I wish the chairman, it's a pleasure to meet you, thank you for your advice." Seeing that Zhaoshi reacted so quickly, the person was surprised, and became more polite: "Don't dare to be, you grandma of the Shen family He is really a hero of the female school." Zhaoshi nodded: "Yes, our Shen family depends on my sister-in-law's hard work." Just as he was talking, Jingxian also came over, and said with a smile: "I wish the chairman don't make fun of us, the boss of your house Girls are the ones who don't give way to men." Mr. Zhu laughed loudly, "Where is that, that child is just naughty, look how stable the second young master is, she is far behind." Jingxian looked at Zhaoshi and said : "Mr. Zhu is an upstart in Shanghai's financial circle. He came back from studying abroad in the United States. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you should ask him more." Zhao Shi quickly bowed and replied: "Yes, I will definitely visit Mr. Zhu's door for advice some other day. "Mr. Zhu said politely: "Don't, don't, let's discuss together."
