As the saying goes, there are three great joys in life: when one ranks high on the imperial examination, the first night of marriage, and meeting old friends in a foreign land.
For the first two, for the time being Shen Chuan hadn’t got the chance to experience it yet. But he did get the last one, and it would be fake if he was not happy.
He acted as host and invited Su Xiaoxiao and her group to the most famous restaurant in Fucheng, Baiyun Pavilion for a meal.
Baiyun Pavilion’s food was tasty, Shopkeeper Sun had come here several times before.
Shen Chuan had never lost when it came to spending money, so he ordered a large table full of the signature dishes.
“Is it delicious?” Shen Chuan asked.
“It’s delicious.” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Ergou thought in his heart: Obviously it was not as delicious as the ones you made.
Su Xiaoxiao was on diet, and could not eat too much. So after a while she stopped adding more dishes, and slowly nibbled on the bean sprouts in her bowl, one by one.
Shen Chuan said, “I haven’t asked you yet, what kind of business are you doing in Fucheng?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Oh, I’m making snacks for the Wang family’s Zhuazhou banquet.”
-Zhuazhou : one-year-old catch, is a Chinese ritual held at a child’s first birthday party, when the child is 1 year, typically twelve months since birth. The parents put various objects before the child that symbolize career choices or personality traits. The child’s choice is used to forecast its future.
Shen Chuan exclaimed in shock, “Wang family? The Wang family that owned the cloth business?”
Su Xiaoxiao: “En.”
Shen Chuan widened his eyes and said, “Oh my god, you’re so amazing!”
This was not only acceptable ah, it was simply incredible, alright?
Taking everything into account, she had only been doing business for two months, and she had already attracted the attention of the wealthy Wang family.
“Do they pay a lot?” Shen Chuan was not interested in other people’s affairs, but he was quite gossipy about Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “Not much, about forty or fifty taels.”
Shen Chuan was dumbfounded: forty or fifty? And it is still not much? You are crazy ah!
Shopkeeper Sun could only ‘hehe’. They smashed a whole room of furniture, paid 50 taels for compensation. They lost 5 teals instead of profiting.
Shen Chuan was deeply impressed and said, “The Wang family has a wide network, did you get other business opportunity at their banquet?”
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to keep her dignity, “Well, we’re informed that Zhao family’s daughter that had reach marriageable age*, and there are another two offers that I don’t remember.
*In ancient times, the marriageable age was a girl’s fifteenth birthday.
Shopkeeper Sun continued to add ‘hehe’, ‘yeah’, ‘yes’, but all of them were all ruined.
They still have plenty of time before sunset after they finish the meal.
Shen Chuan wanted to take her around Fucheng, but she shook her head and refused, “I need to go to Qingyun Temple to deliver something for someone.”
Having said this, Shen Chuan could not force her to stay.
However, when he went to pay the bill, he was told that the bill had already been settled.
Shen Chuan looked at the carriage that was gradually driving away, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart, “I already said that I would be the host……”
“My great aunt, creditor, boss, what should I call you to be good ah?”
On the carriage, Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said, “We have lost 5 taels, and that table of meal just now cost 5 taels, so we lost 10 taels today. If you have too much money to burn, why don’t you just let me pay you 20 taels less?”
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a faint glance and said, “I dare you to pay me back one copper less coin, You can give it a try!”
She felt that Shen Chuan’s life in Fucheng was not as comfortable as she had imagined.
——
In the afternoon, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Qingyun Temple was located halfway up the mountain, and they climbed for more than an hour before finally entering the nunnery at dusk.
Shopkeeper Sun was so tired that he gasped for breath and said, “If I had known…… If I had known it would be so tiring…… I would have stayed with Xiao Wu…… resting in the carriage…… Why should I…… join you two for the fun……”
Su Xiaoxiao also panted, but she didn’t pant as hard as he did.
The last time she fought with the tiger, it seemed that she had exceeded the limits of her physical ability, and she could feel that her physical fitness had improved.
Su Ergou was lively and hopping around, looking at their surroundings.
