Chapter 2 Change
She could see how much the girl liked Shen Yan.
The girl fell in love with Shen Yan at first sight and would not marry him other than Shen Yan.
Shen Yan came to propose marriage, but was rejected by his master.
The girl even cried, made trouble, and hung herself before the master agreed to the marriage and even sponsored Shen Yan to go to Beijing to take the exam.
Who would have imagined that Shen Yan would want to break off the engagement after winning the lottery?
Jiang Youning: "...such a happy day makes your girl cry?"
Chuntao suddenly understood: "Did Shen Tanhua not break off the engagement again?"
Jiang Youning: "..."
"Ning'er."
Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at the door, and saw Jiang Xubai and his wife He walking in with smiles.
Jiang Xubai is forty-five years old this year. His face and eyes reveal the shrewdness of a businessman, and he has gained some weight due to socializing.
He is the daughter of a merchant. She is forty years old and still has charm. From her facial features, you can see that she looks very handsome when she is young.
Jiang Xubai had four sons and two daughters. The eldest son, the youngest son and the original owner were born to the He family, while the second son and the youngest daughter were born to two aunts.
The original owner's clumsy personality did not please Jiang Xubai.
The smile on Jiang Xubai's lips has not disappeared since he sent Xue Yi away. His future son-in-law will be a general, which is something he has never dared to think about in his life.
He happily sat next to Jiang Youning, held her daughter's hand, and said sincerely: "Ning'er, my mother knows that you like Shen Tanhua, but you and Shen Tanhua are not destined to be together, so don't be sad."
Jiang Youning: "..." It's too late for her to be happy, so why would she waste time and energy feeling sad? Is it because there is too much water in her body and she needs to rely on her tear glands to drain it out?
Jiang Xubai felt good when he thought that his future son-in-law was General Xie, and that he would be taken care of in business in the future because of General Xie's reputation.
"Ning'er being able to marry Xie Dajun is also a blessing she earned in her previous life. As for Shen Tanhua, our Jiang family doesn't care about him as a son-in-law."
Seeing that his daughter was silent, he said again: "Ning'er, don't look at General Xie as a warrior. When you marry into the general's mansion, you will become the general's wife, and you will also be named the royal wife. What kind of daughter-in-law is this? A marriage that no one can ask for."
"The master is right." He continued to persuade: "I heard that General Xie is tall and handsome. Didn't Ning'er see him yesterday? Isn't he even more handsome than Shen Tanhua?"
Jiang Youning met General Xie last night, but at night in ancient times, how could those few candlelights compare with modern lights?
The candlelight was dim, so it was really difficult to see what they looked like.
She didn't know whether she was handsome or not, but General Xie was worthy of being a military general. His figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and he was estimated to be about 190cm. She looked very petite and delicate in front of others.
It is said that General Xie is brave and good at fighting and has great strength. She also experienced it personally last night, feeling that one hand could break her waist.
If she hadn't spoken out quickly, she would have either curled up her hair or collapsed on the bed waiting to die.
Mrs. He tried her best to persuade her, but when she saw that her daughter, who was always crying, did not shed a single tear, she thought that her daughter must be moved by her words.
Who wouldn't be tempted to marry General Xie and become his wife?
"Go back to the accounting room to get some silver and buy some more beautiful clothes. Girls look delicate and pretty in pink."
As a man, Jiang Xubai naturally understands men, so he gave a few words to help his daughter dress up carefully and marry into the general's palace smoothly.
At this moment, Jiang Youning was wearing green clothes, a hairpin with red beads, and some heavy makeup. She was obviously only fourteen years old, but because of her clothes, she looked old-fashioned and tacky, and her appearance was greatly reduced.
Of course Jiang Youning knew that pink was delicate and beautiful, but she did not deliberately change her dress in order to break off the engagement smoothly, but continued to maintain the original makeup.
Another reason is that sudden changes will make people suspicious.
He's chattering made Jiang Youning feel a little drowsy. When he heard the word "yin liang", he suddenly woke up a little.
Who would refuse to receive pocket money?
I thought that the Jiang family was engaged in tea business and would have at least dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver as pocket money. When I went to the cashier's office to withdraw money the next day, the cashier only gave me eight taels of silver.
The value of silver coins in different dynasties is also different. According to the price here, it is equivalent to about 3,000 yuan in modern times.
When she saw Chuntao with a face full of surprise, she said, "The master's move was really generous this time. He took eight taels of silver in one go."
"..." Jiang Xubai was so happy that he gave him eight taels of silver. If he was unhappy, he wouldn't even have three taels of silver, right?
With pocket money, she naturally went to the street to buy two new sets of clothes to wear. She really didn't dare to compliment the original owner's clothes.
There was no need to walk when going out. There were carriages and sedan chairs as means of transportation. Jiang Youning chose to travel by carriage.
Nishang Pavilion is also quite famous in Jinling. You can buy fabrics and customize clothes.
Jiang Youning bought two colors of cloth, pink and lake green, and then Master Li measured her measurements before customizing the clothes.
Chuntao's eyes filled with excitement. The girl's vision finally became normal. The pink lake green color suited the girl very well.
Later, Jiang Youning went to Baohua Hall to look at jewelry.
After shopping around, the cheap ones are not good-looking, the better-looking ones cost more than one tael, and the high-end jewelry costs 1,200 taels.
Of course, gold jewelry and jewelry-encrusted hairpins are more expensive.
It's so expensive, why not do it yourself.
After making up her mind, Jiang Youning bought some materials and picked the best Su embroidery thread, so that the velvet flowers made would be more delicate.
As for how much money it didn't cost to make the tools, after all, it was more than half the money spent on buying hairpins.
There are still some gold and silver jewelry at home. If she changes the style, she can save a lot of silver. The remaining silver belongs to her pocket money.
After returning, Jiang Youning opened the makeup package and took out the jewelry inside one by one.
Half of the jewelry was bought by the original owner, and the other half was given to me by my parents during birthdays and festivals.
She is good at jewelry making and design.
After spending two days, the jewelry that was originally a bit tacky has become brand new.
Chuntao picked up the modified pearl and jasper hairpin. Before the modification, the jasper hairpin had colorful feathers. It was the style favored by the girls in the Golan Courtyard. After changing the pearls, it immediately made people's eyes brighter.
She looked at Jiang Youning with admiration, "Not only has the girl's vision become normal, she also has such exquisite craftsmanship."
Ever since she broke off her engagement, Jiang Youning has been dressing up according to her own aesthetics.
Chuntao happily looked at Jiang Youning in the mirror. Her little face without makeup was like a peach blossom in March, and her watery almond eyes were full of aura.
"Girls should have dressed up like this a long time ago to look good."
Jiang Youning looked at herself in the mirror. She was very satisfied with her appearance. She wore a hairpin with beaded flowers that she had modified, and it matched well with her pink clothes.
Chuntao wanted to hear rumors about General Xie today and felt it necessary to gossip with the girl.
"Girl, this slave has heard some rumors about General Xie in the past two days. Do you want to listen?"
