In their view, the things in the mine were just fossils and amber, nothing special. But for people of this era, they probably regarded them as sacred objects.
"Qiao'er, come and meet Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou."
As soon as Su Qiao entered the main room, Mr. Zhou greeted her while winking at her.
Su Qiao glanced at the seat of honor and bowed perfunctorily: "Greetings, Mr. Zhou, Madam Zhou."
"No need to be so polite, just get up." County Magistrate Zhou stroked his beard with a smile and looked at Su Qiao.
She looks dignified and graceful, and is not as timid as other women who would shrink back when seeing him. No wonder the lady insisted on her son marrying this girl.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said politely, "Is this Qiao'er? She is indeed gentle and dignified."
"Thank you, Madam Zhou." Su Qiao said indifferently, then walked aside and sat down.
County Magistrate Zhou nodded approvingly.
It’s really good.
"Manager Su, what do you think about the marriage between these two families?"
Originally, County Magistrate Zhou was a little reluctant about this marriage, but now he thinks that it would be nice to have such a daughter-in-law.
He is smart, capable, knows how to make money, is literate and can do accounting. He is also good-looking, generous and decent, and can control himself in a situation.
In addition, the Su family is close to the adult above.
In the past, he was in full charge of the affairs on Coal Hill, but now it has been given to Grandpa Su. This shows that the person above wants to make use of Grandpa Su.
There are only benefits and no disadvantages for him if the two families get married.
Old Master Su quickly said modestly: "Master Zhou, my Su family is just an ordinary family. My granddaughter is also a rough girl. She has been a wild girl in the mountains since she was a child. I am afraid she is not used to the life in the county town."
County Magistrate Zhou did not expect that Mr. Su would not approve of this marriage and was somewhat surprised.
"Manager Su, what do you mean by ordinary people or not? I am just an official of little importance, and I am no different from Manager Su."
"Besides, your granddaughter looks very decent to me. The county town is close here, and the round trip by carriage only takes more than an hour. If anything happens, we can look after each other. What do you think?"
"This matter..."
Old Master Su looked embarrassed and turned to look at his granddaughter who was sitting quietly drinking tea below.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My granddaughter has always been opinionated since she was young. She makes all the decisions on her own. Even the shop in town was built by her on her own. I promised her before that she would make her own decision on her marriage."
"I see."
It's all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I've never heard of a girl being allowed to decide her own marriage.
County Magistrate Zhou knew that Mr. Su did not agree with this marriage.
His eyes flashed, and he looked at Su Qiao with a smile, pointing in the direction of his son.
"Miss Su, what do you think of this boy of mine?"
Mr. Su's face looked a little gloomy.
He had already made it so clear, yet County Magistrate Zhou still acted like this.
Do you really want to bully others by taking advantage of your power
Just as the old man was about to speak, Su Qiao gave him a look, telling him to be patient.
Putting down the teacup, she glanced at Zhou Tianyou across from her: "He's a good guy, but we're not suitable."
The male protagonist of this dimension is still very young and does not have too many bad intentions. He is also good in appearance, family background, and talents. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a real son-in-law.
Overall, it’s pretty good.
Mrs. Zhou's expression froze and she felt a little annoyed.
Just as the matchmaker said, this little girl really doesn't like her son.
