Chapter Fourteen The Sun Family Engagement
When night falls, there is a quiet and peaceful scene in Yanyang City. The streets are empty and quiet. The leaves are swaying in the breeze, and a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, making it impossible to light a candle.
The lamp added light to the poor people's homes.
The Sun Mansion, located in the east of the city, was also quiet at the moment. There was no one holding hands outside the door. Everything seemed to be very quiet now that Sun Junze was missing from the mansion.
At this time, Master Sun of the Sun Mansion was locked in the study alone, standing in front of the window, looking up at the stars in the sky, without saying a word for a long time.
In the main hall, under the shadow of the beating wick of the kerosene lamp, the voices of several people could be heard.
"Madam, when will Brother Junze come back?" Sun Yijin said with a childlike look on her face.
After hearing this, Mrs. He looked at Sun Yijin with a smile on her face and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's late March today. After March, there's still one month left before I'll be back."
"Will it take that long?" Sun Yijin couldn't wait any longer.
After hearing this, the second brother Sun Luolin said nothing and smiled slightly.
"Why is Yijin so looking forward to the return of her eldest brother?" He asked gently.
After hearing this, Sun Yijin looked at her second brother with a cute face, as if seeking his opinion. However, her second brother, Sun Luolin, remained silent for a moment and looked at her sister with a smile on her face.
Anyway, it's not a big deal. My sister Sun Yijin finally said it: "Big brother said that when he comes back, he will bring me some things that are not available over there, and he also wants to tell me about what it's like over there." While talking, he was still fantasizing.
The scene where the big brother comes back.
As a mother, Mrs. Ma felt ashamed after hearing this. She really hoped that her children could see the outside scenery, but the fact was the opposite.
"That's it. By the way, Yijin. Don't you like embroidery? Come and learn from me tomorrow. When you finish the lesson, your elder brother will be back. As for you, you can also show him your embroidery.
, okay?" Madam He said kindly.
After hearing this, Sun Yijin glanced at his mother, Mrs. Ma, and then at his wife, Mrs. He, and nodded: "Well, okay. I will show it to my eldest brother when he comes back."
Unexpectedly, Sun Yijin’s words were heard by Mr. Sun in the study.
The next day, at dawn, the ten-year-old Sun Yijin had already prepared the cloth, needles, threads and other tools for embroidery and happily went to see her eldest lady.
"Big empress! Big empress!"
Yijin was waiting outside Madam He's bedroom with various embroidery tools.
At this time, a maid dressed in light yellow came over, looked at Yijin's appearance, and persuaded her: "Miss, the eldest lady is still resting, please wait a moment."

After hearing this, the sensible Yijin glanced at the room, pouted, and said helplessly: "Okay."
Then, Yijin took her needle and thread and sat up on a stone under a nearby big tree, looking towards the room with a pair of big watery eyes.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, she saw a maid carrying a wooden basin hurriedly towards the room. Yijin guessed that the eldest lady must have gotten up. After a while, she saw the eldest lady walking out of the room.
After Yijin saw it, she hurriedly walked over with needle and thread.
"Madam, when will you teach Jin'er how to embroider?" Yijin asked.
Yijin's words seemed to melt the eldest lady's heart.
The eldest lady He smiled kindly, touched Yijin's head involuntarily, and said, "I'll teach you."
"Okay." Yijin responded happily.
Afterwards, the two taught Sun Yijin how to embroider under a pavilion in the backyard...
"Liu Xueshi, these have been written by my subordinates." Sun Zhicai handed a written document to Liu Xueshi.
"Okay." Xueshie Liu took the document.
At this time, Su Yunqi quietly asked: "I heard that the fourth young master in Liu Xueshi's family is not married yet?"
Scholar Liu was very generous and answered these questions naturally: "Yes. The four sons in the family are withdrawn and unwilling to talk to others. They are often obsessed with reading."
"There is a daughter in Xiuguan's family who is just fourteen years old. I wonder what Liu Xueshi thinks?" Sun Zhicai asked with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, Academician Liu smiled and said, "That's very good. When I go back, I'll ask the fourth son about it."
"That's fine. I'll ask you when I get back. If it's successful, I'll be willing to help Xuexi Liu more."
"good."
After the official business was over, Sun Zhicai of the Sun Mansion hurried back to his home.
Especially every time he walked through that street, people around him would always look at Sun Zhicai with strange eyes and whisper in extremely low voices about the bad things the Sun family had done.
Therefore, Sun Zhicai could only walk quickly every time he walked through this street.
"Jin'er!"
As soon as he arrived home, Sun Zhicai quickly looked for Sun Yijin.
"Jin'er!"
After several calls, Yijin was not seen coming, only Yijin's biological mother was seen walking towards this side.
"Master is back." The second lady, Ma, said with a smile on her face.
"Where is Jin'er?" Sun Zhicai asked.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Jin'er has been learning embroidery in the backyard today. Not to mention, she learned it very quickly."
Before the second lady Ma finished speaking, Sun Zhicai had already gone to the backyard.
"Look, look at it again."
"Like this."
The eldest lady He is teaching Sun Yijin carefully, and Sun Yijin is studying seriously.
Seeing this appearance, Sun Zhicai was a little reluctant to disrupt this scene.
After waiting for a long time, Madam Ma noticed the master.
"Master is back," Ma said with a smile.
After Sun Zhicai nodded slightly, he looked at Sun Yijin: "Yijin, how did you learn?"
After hearing this, Yijin hurriedly showed the half-embroidered magpie to her father Sun Zhicai.
"The embroidery is really good." Sun Zhicai praised.
After hearing this, Mrs. He praised Yijin's various good deeds.
"Jin'er, dad has something to ask, can you agree to it?" Sun Zhicai said.
At this time, He and Yijin both looked at Sun Zhicai.
"What's the matter? Dad." Yijin asked in confusion.
"You are fourteen now, and you have reached the age to get married. I talked about this with my colleagues today. If you agree, they will also agree, and we will wait to set a date." Sun Zhicai said.
After hearing what her father said, Yijin didn't know whether to agree or not, and looked at the eldest lady He.
"Sir, although Yijin is fourteen, she is still far from sixteen. Isn't this a bit too hasty?" He said.
Coincidentally, the conversation between the master and Mr. He was overheard by Mr. Ma, who was walking over, and his eyes almost turned red.
"Jin'er, if you are willing, dad will have help in official matters, so that you can successfully avenge your sister in the future." Sun Zhicai advised.
After thinking about it, Jin'er looked at Mrs. Zheng and her biological mother, Mrs. Ma, who was walking over, wanting to know their opinions, but they seemed to be waiting for her answer.
Thinking that she could avenge her dead sister, Yijin finally agreed to the matter: "I am willing."
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai hugged his filial daughter, and his eyes gradually turned red. Otherwise, it would be difficult to avenge the death of his eldest daughter.
While hugging her, Sun Zhicai kept saying in distress: "Daddy's good daughter."
Not far behind, the birth mother Ma Shi had quietly shed tears.
The next day, Sun Zhicai informed Liu Xueshi about his daughter, and the two families reached an agreement and decided to get married on May 15th.
