Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

A good night's sleep.

The streets already have an atmosphere on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Merchants have hung up colorful festive decorations, and shop entrances are filled with various kinds of rice dumplings and mugwort. The fragrance hits your nostrils and makes you salivate.

Not only that, some specialty snack stalls also appeared one after another, attracting people to stop and taste.

From glutinous rice dumplings to horned millet cakes, there is a dazzling array of traditional delicacies that make people linger here.

In addition to delicious food, the streets are also filled with all kinds of holiday supplies.

There are a dazzling array of bamboo handicrafts, five-color silk threads, colorful rope straw sandals and other decorations.

Many people bought some colorful ropes and planned to weave some good-luck mascots, such as AI tigers and damselflies, for themselves and their families at home.

Su Mulan was also in a good mood and bought a few sachets, which contained some calamus, mugwort leaves, angelica dahurica, etc.

Zhou Shinian and Shopkeeper Huang had been waiting early in the morning. When they saw Su Mulan coming in, they quickly invited her into the inner room and served Mingqian tea.

If Su Mulan's estimate was good, 960 taels were settled this time.

Looking at Su Mulan's bright smiling face, Zhou Shinian also smiled: "Miss Su, it's such a pleasure to cooperate. I have prepared a small gift, hoping to make you happy."

At some point, Shopkeeper Huang and Mr. Accountant had already left.

Su Mulan saw a small brocade box on the table, and she quickly declined: "Our cooperation is cooperation, and I will make a lot of profits, so there is no need to give gifts in private."

"Why don't you take a look?" Zhou Shinian still insisted.

Su Mulan opened the small brocade box and saw an exquisite jade comb.

The texture of the jade comb was warm and moist, but Su Mulan's heart skipped a beat.

The jade comb has rich meanings and is a symbol of affection and hair knotting.

Su Mulan quickly refused: "Master Zhou, this gift is too heavy. Please forgive me for not accepting it."

"Why?"

Zhou Shinian's expression darkened, and there was a hint of surprise on his handsome face.

"Do you dislike me? Do you think I am just a businessman? I am also a scholar! Although my family has a small income, I have been studying diligently, and I also want to become a scholar and change my family."

Su Mulan waved her hands quickly: "How could I dislike you? It's not what you guessed. I just don't want to get married."

"Could it be that you want to shoulder all the responsibilities of the family on your shoulders? With all due respect, as the eldest sister, you have fulfilled your responsibilities and you must always consider your own life-long affairs."

Zhou Shinian seemed sincere, but Su Mulan was disgusted.

"Master Zhou, I think you misunderstood. I don't want to get married, and I'm not interested in you. So, maybe you understand?"

Zhou Shinian shook his head: "Miss Su, you are fourteen and I am seventeen. Even if we don't get married this year, we can do it next year. After we get married, your younger siblings will be my younger siblings, and I will be filial to your mother."

To be honest, you may not like it, but it is indeed the truth. You are very skilled and can write such a touching story, but a woman has to start a family after all, and the flowering period is only a few years...and I am not bad in this county.

Together we can make this book better and more perfect. You can earn more money. From now on, when you buy a big house, you can buy whatever you want and do whatever you want. I will also give you freedom..."

Su Mulan looked at him with a smile: "Are you done?"

It wasn't that Zhou Shinian couldn't see the sarcasm in Su Mulan's eyes, but he still said with a sincere face: "Mulan, I know you are capable and you will also rely on your righteousness, but women will eventually get married. I won't tell you if it's far away. , Speaking of which, when your younger siblings grow up, do you still plan to live alone? Until then, you won't be able to find any decent man.

Besides, I am not just a peddler, I am also a scholar! Missed it, maybe..."

"If I miss you, maybe I can't find another good one?" Su Mulan asked with a smile.

"I know that this truth will make Miss Mulan feel uncomfortable, but it is the truth. You lost your father when you were young, and your mother...and your siblings are counting on you. These are not advantages. If you want to climb to a higher branch, I’m afraid it’s not possible.”

Su Mulan stood up neatly: "Are you done?"

Zhou Shinian didn't expect her to leave immediately, and in desperation he wanted to hold her hand, but she quickly avoided him and said with a cold look on her face: "Please respect yourself."

"Sister Mulan, I have told you what I think. Let me hear what you think too."

Su Mulan sneered, her eyes showing indifference.

She stood up straight, looked directly at the person in front of her, and said with her sleeves: "Please don't call me sister Mulan yet. You and I are neither relatives nor friends, so we can't call you that. Secondly, let me reiterate again, I have nothing to do with you." Interested. As for whether I can reach the top, that's not what you should care about. Also, it seems that it will be very inconvenient for me to cooperate in the future, so let's give up."

As soon as Su Mulan finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Shopkeeper Huang was waiting outside. When he saw Su Mulan walking out quickly with air-conditioning around her body, he unconsciously followed her and said, "Miss Su."

How could Su Mulan pay attention to him? Walk directly in front of him without looking back.

Shopkeeper Huang hurried to the inner room. When he saw Zhou Shinian was slumped, he couldn't help shouting: "Master, haven't we reached an agreement yet?"

"We didn't reach an agreement, which made her angry..."

Shopkeeper Huang said "Hey": "Why are you still angry? With such a good condition from the young master, what else can Miss Su be dissatisfied with?"

Zhou Shinian was also confused: "Yes, maybe Miss Su wants to climb a higher branch. Oh no, she said just now that the cooperation is over. She doesn't really want to give up on it, right?"

Shopkeeper Huang quickly reassured him: "Don't worry, young master. Without us, what kind of people can Miss Su find to cooperate with? Can others be as skilled as us? Can they give her such a high share? Let's see. , Miss Su will definitely come back to us."

Zhou Shinian was still frowning. Shopkeeper Huang might not know Su Mulan, but he thought he did.

Su Mulan looks easy to talk to, but is actually very strong.

"Prepare some heavy gifts and send them to Miss Su's house tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Huang responded quickly.

The little girl is very angry, so if she gives some big gifts and says some kind words, she can be saved, right?

Unexpectedly, the next day, shopkeeper Huang and his waiters, carrying heavy gifts, arrived at Su Mulan's small yard, but were blocked by an iron general.

"Miss Su, Miss Su."

Even though he knew she wasn't at home, shopkeeper Huang couldn't help shouting a few times.

A woman in the yard next to her came out and responded: "This big shopkeeper, Miss Su has gone to Fucheng and won't be back until a few days later."

"what?"

Shopkeeper Huang was shocked. It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival. Why was Miss Su still running out?

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Don't you just like to watch the excitement, little girl? Miss Su took her younger siblings to Fucheng to watch the dragon boat race."
