Wear It with Space

When Shen Ling visited the house for the third time, he brought some special products from Jincheng, and he revealed in words that he wanted to open a store in Liangzhou. Originally, she didn't plan to open any more shops earlier, but later saw the situation in the prefectural government, and wanted to sell it to Mrs. Liu by way of a shop buying shares, so she moved this thought again.

Madam Liu gave her a surprised look, "I don't think your house looks like someone short of money. Why do you think of opening a shop?"

Shen Ling said: "It's not to make money, but to pass the time. What's more, if you have a shop, you can take it directly at the shop and save a lot of money if you have anything to use at home." After that, she asked Mrs. Liu if she wanted it. By investing in shares, you can also earn private money.

Mrs. Liu was moved by what she said, but she was still uncertain whether this matter would affect her husband's career, so she said she should think about it.

After Master Zhizhou came back that night, Mrs. Liu asked him what Bai Lang was like. Master Zhizhou said, "What did you ask him to do?"

Mrs. Liu told her husband that Shen Ling was going to open a shop and asked her to buy shares. Master Zhizhou said in deep thought: "I think Bai Lang is quite ambitious in his career, not like the kind of profit-seeking person. But people's hearts are changeable. We can't be careless about this kind of thing. It's not anxious anyway, let's look at it again!"

Although Mrs. Liu said no two at home, she would still obey her husband when she encountered this kind of official affairs. Now that the husband said to wait, Mrs. Liu temporarily suppressed her temper and waited patiently.

Shen Ling still opened a grocery store this time, because the cost is sufficient and there is space for aquatic products, so there are plenty of items in the store. It's just that there are fewer wealthy people here in Liangzhou, and because the new store is not well known, the business is far inferior to the grocery store opened in the capital.

Shen Ling wanted to use this shop to close the relationship with the prefectural government, and he was naturally very concerned about this matter. After a lot of thought, the shop gradually gained some fame in Liangzhou, and the business was getting better and better.

When the Dragon Boat Festival was over, when Shen Ling gave a festive gift to the prefectural government, he mentioned the shop with Mrs. Liu again.

Madam Liu didn't use Bai Lang's name or entangled with the merchants in Liangzhou during the few months she opened the shop. Only then did she believe that she was really trying to pass the time. When Shen Ling mentioned it, Mrs. Liu happily agreed, and took out half of her family's savings to invest in the store.

Since then, the relationship between the two has been much closer than before. The two of them have gotten closer, and the relationship between Bai Lang and Lord Zhizhou has become much better than usual.

After three years of success in Liangzhou, Bai Lang was subsequently transferred to Shandong as the magistrate.

Over the next ten years, Bai Lang was transferred from the prefecture to the presidency, and then he was transferred back to the capital this year.

At this time, the eldest son, A Xu, had already won the move and was looking at someone. The second son, Atong, has just entered school and is learning to write eight-legged essays with his husband. The youngest daughter, Amei, has just turned ten years old and is studying female red with Shen Ling.

Amei's temperament is the same as that of Atong, who has followed Bai Lang, and can sit quietly at home all afternoon without feeling bored. Shen Ling taught her daughter a little bit of the embroidery skills she had learned when she was in the Hou Mansion. She didn't expect her embroidery skills to be outstanding in the future, as long as she was able to live well.

The mother and daughter stitched for a while, and the maid Rushui came over with a greeting note: "Madam, this is from the porter. It is said that the person here is from Jincheng."

Shen Ling put down the work in his hand, took it and watched it again, and hurriedly asked Rushui to invite people in first, changed his clothes and took Amei to the three flower halls for the guests.

Sitting in the flower hall was a woman in her forties, and there were two daughters who looked like jade flowers beside her.

Shen Ling greeted him with a smile on his face, "Why don't you say anything in advance when you cousin will arrive in the capital?"

A smile appeared on Lin Baozhu's face: "We arrived yesterday. After Heng'er entered school, your cousin did not want him to stay in Jincheng for fear of delaying him, so our family moved to Beijing. Once we arrived in Beijing, you When my cousin heard that my cousin had been transferred back from the place, he asked me to send you invitations and invite you to gather together in the new house."

Shen Ling responded with a smile, and looked closely at Lin Baozhu's two daughters, and one of them gave a meeting gift. After the two narrated their farewell gossip, Shen Ling couldn't help but shed a few tears when he mentioned the deceased old lady in Zhao's Mansion.

When the old lady passed away, Shen Ling was in office with Bai Lang and could not go back to see her for the last time. Later, in the year that Mrs. Bai died, Bai Lang made a mistake, and the family returned to Jincheng for a year. In that year, Shen Ling had the opportunity to go back and kowtow to the old lady's grave.

Thinking that the old lady was kind to her, Shen Ling not only went to the Zhao family banquet, but also helped Heng'er, the only son of Zhao Bingzhang, find a good college.

After Zhao Bingzhang and Bai Lang were promoted together that year, he hadn't obtained the fame of Jinshi for so many years, and later placed his hopes on his son. Now seeing that his son had entered the academy as he wished, he brought a few colored gifts to the White House to pay his respects.

Bai Lang hosted a banquet in the foreign study, and after returning to Shen Ling, Zhao Bingzhang bluntly praised him for having such a virtuous wife as Shen Ling.

Shen Ling smiled faintly, and said nothing. After Bai Lang and Zhao Bingzhang were promoted at the same time, when the two were sitting together drinking, Bai Lang accidentally revealed that Shen Ling would write stereotypes because of drunkenness. After thinking about coming to Zhao Bingzhang, he must think that Bai Lang was able to get into the ranks because of her relationship!

Even if he would regret now that he didn't listen to the old lady's words and marry her as his wife, that is all gone.

Shen Ling threw the matter to his ears after hearing this. She is now single-mindedly thinking about making A Xu a good marriage.

A Xu's temperament did not follow Bai Lang, but his appearance was more than 80%, and he was born handsome and gentle. In addition, he was already a juror at a young age. As soon as Shen Ling let out the wind, many people showed their intentions.

Shen Ling simply took advantage of his birthday to hold a banquet and posted posts to Bai Lang's colleagues and the Zhao family.

On the day of the banquet, Shen Ling specifically called A Xu back from the academy to let him see if there was a girl he liked at the banquet.

In the evening, Shen Ling called A Xu into the room and asked him straightforwardly which girl he liked. A Xu hadn't spoken yet, his face was already red. Shen Ling knew that he must have taken a fancy to a certain girl, so he slowly asked which girl he was.

Axu hesitated and said that he didn't know whose daughter the girl was. He only knew that the girl was wearing a lake-blue dress with only a few beaded flowers on her head. She looked plain and unpretentious, more than anyone else. More pleasing to the eye.

Shen Ling was stunned for a while, what A Xu said was Lin Baozhu's second daughter, right?

In Shen Ling's heart, she was reluctant to let her son marry Zhao Bingzhang's daughter. So she later tried to arrange a few visits for Asu, only to find that although her son didn't show anything on his face, he was obviously resisting in his heart.

Shen Ling had to have a good talk with his son, and after discovering that he had identified Lin Baozhu's second daughter, he compromised.

A few days later, after Shen Ling asked Bai Lang what he meant, he invited a matchmaker to Zhao Mansion to propose marriage.

Lin Baozhu couldn't think that Shen Ling could get his daughter. For a moment, he was overjoyed. Without asking Zhao Bingzhang, he agreed to the marriage.

Two years later, when the bride came in, the young couple had two pianos and ming, respecting each other as guests. Shen Ling also put aside his previous obsessions, and felt that this marriage was done well.

When Ah Tong and A Mei were about to make a marriage later, she also fully respected the opinions of these two people.

Time was like running water, and Bai Lang was promoted to be a servant of the household department ten years later, and he was already a senior second-ranking member according to his rank.

Two years after his marriage, A Xu not only gave Shen Ling a grandson but also won a Jinshi. Bai Lang cleared up the relationship for him, transferred him to another province as a county magistrate, and prepared to let him experience a few years outside.

Shen Ling did not leave his daughter-in-law and grandson behind like other mother-in-laws, and let his son take the general house to take office. She happily asked A Xu to take her daughter-in-law and grandson to the post, and when she left, she also wrapped a large package of medicinal materials for them to take away.

The second son, Atong, did not have as good luck as A Xu, and he had not passed the provincial examination twice. Shen Ling felt that there were already two Jinshi in the family, and he did not force Ah Tong to be admitted as a Jinshi in the future.

So after the interview, she asked Ah to develop in other areas. For example, she encouraged Ah Tong to open a larger bookstore. In this regard, she gave Ah Tong a lot of useful suggestions. With her support, Ah Tong later drove Baiji Shusi from the capital to other provinces.

As for the youngest daughter, Amei, although she has a quiet temperament and gentle speech, she has no small ambitions. She saw that her father had already achieved the position of the second-grade, so she wanted to marry a young and promising scholar, so that she could become a wife of the second-grade in the future.

In this regard, Shen Ling also extremely respected her wish. The couple chose for a long time, and finally selected a young Jinshi from Jincheng.

It was only after getting married that Amei realized that her husband had no ambitions. However, Ren Sheng was attentive and considerate, and cared about her. Slowly, as the child was born, Amei gradually focused on the child, and she let go of not being aggressive towards her husband.

When she brought her child back to her natal home and talked to Shen Ling about this, Shen Ling smiled and nodded and said: "You can think like this. Besides, not being enterprising is not a good thing, at least for the rest of your life."

She said this for a reason. After Bai Lang became a member of the second rank, he was inevitably involved in the fight between several princes. Both the husband and wife felt that it was best not to participate in this kind of royal infighting, so Bai Lang had already given birth to a retreat heart.

In the second year, after A Xu was transferred back to the capital, Bai Lang handed it over. A few days after the paper was handed in, it was approved. The couple packed their luggage, left the house in Beijing to the eldest son A Xu, and returned to Jincheng with the younger son Atong and his family.
