Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 109, I'll be eighteen after the Chinese New Year
Xiahetun Village, Changli County, Yongping Prefecture.

Liu Jin watched carefully in his new house. When he went to the capital, he just wanted to go to the capital to have fun and see the Beijing city in this era.

Unexpectedly, it would take more than 2 months to go to the capital, and now the Chinese New Year is coming soon. At that time, the house was still under construction, and now it has been built when I come back.

"Zhao Heishan's work is really reassuring. Not only has the snow salt business not been put down, but the house is also beautifully built, almost no different from what I designed."

After carefully visiting the inside and outside of his new house, Liu Jin is also very satisfied.

The new house is built on the mountain, facing the sea, covering a very large area, using high-quality bricks and tiles, and building a standard big house with three entrances and three exits. At the same time, there is a snow house designed and planned by Liu Jin at the beginning. Salt water workshop.

The construction of this house did not have any problems because of the absence of our own people. People in this era are still very simple. As long as they take money, this thing must be done beautifully.

Liu Jin paid for people from the village to come and do things. This winter, he not only gave high wages, but also food. Such a good thing is rare in a thousand years.

So everything in the village is very serious. Even though Liu Jin is not at home, under the supervision of the village chief, Uncle Zhou and Zhao Heishan, the house is still very well built.

"Originally, I wanted to make a lot of money by relying on this snow salt, but now Xishan is busy, and after the new year, I have to go to Tianjin to work on the fleet. It seems that the business of this snow salt can be handed over to Zhao Heishan Come and do it."

Looking at the assembly line workshop that he designed, Liu Jin also slightly lamented that this plan is not as good as changing, and so many things happened just after a trip to the capital.

The snow salt business is very profitable, so it is impossible for Liu Jin to just let it go, not to mention that the newly built assembly line workshop is to expand the production and scale of snow salt, so there is no reason to abandon it.

"My lord, the old lady welcomes you~"

Just as Liu Jin was thinking about Xueyan, a person in Xishan costume came over and said.

This time Liu Jin brought back eight horse-drawn carriages, and also brought more than a dozen people from Xishan to act as bodyguards for him, and to do other things by the way.

Each of the dozen or so people is tall, strong and strong. The man in front of him named Zhang Hu used to be a practicing family and had good kung fu, but his family was also poor, and he didn't want to use martial arts to do illegal things. , so he also drifted to the capital and was recruited into Xishan, and now he is also Liu Jin's personal bodyguard.

"Good~"

Liu Jin nodded, and then said to Zhang Hu: "Brother Hu, it's cold, let the brothers rest inside the house, don't freeze."

"Young master treats us like brothers. This food is delicious, and our hearts are warm. It's not cold at all."

Zhang Hu is also a person who is not very good at words, and he feels stiff when he smiles.

"I'm already home, and there is no danger. Everyone treats it as their own home. Don't be too strict with your requirements. Let the brothers go to rest."

Liu Jin smiled. In fact, he brought Zhang Hu and the others back just in case. If Tang Hu came to make trouble for him, he would be worthwhile.

"Good~"

Zhang Hu nodded and said.

Soon, Liu Jin came to his mother Wang's room. Now Wang's hardships are coming, and mothers are more expensive than their children. Not only do they no longer have to work in the fields, do housework and other things, Liu Jin also wrote letters when he was in the capital. When he came back, he asked Zhao Heishan to buy some maids and slaves to serve Wang.

So now the Wang family is also wearing splendid silk, no longer has to worry about life, and every day his thoughts are all on his son Liu Jin.

"Mom~ are you looking for me?"

Liu Jin came to Wang's room and looked at the current Wang. Although he still looked a bit vicissitudes, his complexion was much better than before.

"Jin'er, how old are you this year?"

Wang looked at her son. Although her face was still childish, she knew clearly through letters that Liu Jin was doing important things here in the capital. She was very relieved to know that her son was capable.

No matter how many years I have endured, now I can be regarded as having survived, and I can enjoy the blessings.

However, Liu Jin hasn't married yet, and she hasn't decided on a marriage, which makes her very anxious. You must know that Liu Jin is already seventeen years old now, and he will be eighteen years old after the new year.

This age is of course still a child in later generations, but in this era, marriage is generally very early, and many people are already married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, have children and become fathers.

Liu Jin is still a bachelor at the age of seventeen. In this era, he is considered an older unmarried youth.

There was nothing before, Liu's family was poor, and no one in Hetun is willing to marry here. Even though Liu Jin has a reputation as a scholar, he still can't marry any good girls.

It is different now, Liu Jin is already famous in the capital, and this reputation has already spread to Changli County. Everyone knows that Changli County has a great Mr. Liu, and now he is a celebrity in the capital.

That is to say, Liu Jin is now a famous person, plus he is a scholar. If he is in Qiuwei High School next year, and if he is admitted to the General Examination and Palace Examination the year after next, it will be a big deal, and his prosperity will be just around the corner.

What's more, the current Liu family has also made a fortune. Not only did they build a mansion here in Xiahetun, but Liu Jin also started a business of briquettes with people in the capital, which was very profitable. Liu Jin also bought it in the capital. The house, this can be regarded as a city dweller.

With such conditions, the matchmaker in Xiahetun used to not even come to visit, but would come to Liu Jin's house every now and then to find Liu Jin's mother to pass on messages to others. Now there are many people who have their eyes on Liu Jin.

Among them, there are many big families, gentry, officials and eunuchs in Changli County, who more or less revealed this meaning, waiting for Liu Jin to come back, meet and chat, and then the matter can be settled.

Mrs. Wang is naturally very happy about this, and she is also very concerned about it. It is indeed time for her son to get married.

"Mom, I'm seventeen years old, have you forgotten this?"

Liu Jin obviously didn't think about this aspect. Liu Jin's ideas from later generations still haven't changed. This seventeen-year-old is still a child, so naturally he doesn't think about getting married.

"In a blink of an eye, you are seventeen years old, and you will be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year. You are not too young, should you make an appointment so that I can hold my grandson earlier?"

Wang looked at Liu Jin, shook his head slightly and said.

　What do you want from a heroine?
