Yiluo nodded and took Qingshan away. When he went out and saw the dowry gifts brought by the Luo family in the courtyard, Yiluo was a little curious. Didn't the sister-in-law say that the Luo family's life was not very good? Now this dowry gift is not bad at all.

ah.

What Iroh didn't know was that her eldest brother and second brother had each sent twenty taels of silver to the Qingshan family a few days ago, asking him to repair the house and buy some betrothal gifts, and also warned him not to wrong his sister.

.

Iroh led Qingshan to his room and took a stool for him to sit on. When he saw the messy dishes on the round table, Iroh quickly put them in the basket.

At this time, Qingshan felt a little regretful. When Yiluo's two brothers gave him some silver, he was very unwilling to accept it. He couldn't stand what the Li family did. But now he saw the furnishings in Yiluo's room.

, looking at her clothes. Qingshan couldn't help but worry that his engagement ceremony would make her angry and wronged her?

If Iroh still treated him with the same attitude as before, he wouldn't be so uneasy. But now that Iroh is polite and smiling, Qingshan is really embarrassed to take out his gift.

The situation between the two of them was a little awkward now. Iroh looked at Qingshan who had his eyes elsewhere and thought to himself, why don't you say something? Do you want me, a girl, to be in charge of enlivening the scene? After hesitating, Iroh asked softly: "Luo

Brother, how far is your village from here?"

Qingshan seemed to have suddenly woken up and said quickly: "It's about four or five miles away, and he collapsed in less than half an hour's walk." Iroh looked at him and although he was complaining about the man's absence, he still nodded on his face.

.

When Qingshan finally mustered up the courage to give the gift to Iroh, he was interrupted by Shuang'er who ran in. Shuang'er entered the room and saw the uncle he had only met once, and he slowed down again.

He walked slowly to Yi Luo's side, but it was quiet.

Yiluo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Shuang'er, you came at the right time. Then Yiluo asked Shuang'er: "Where is Tao'er?" Shuang'er said tenderly: "Tao'er has returned to her home." Although she was answering her aunt.

As for the question, Shuang'er kept staring at the green mountain opposite with his big eyes.

Qingshan was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Shuang'er. After being silent for a while, he smiled and asked: "What's your name?" Qingshan smiled very warmly. At that moment, Shuang'er left Yiluo and walked to Qingshan and whispered: "I am Shuang'er.

Son, this is for you to eat." After saying that, he raised a piece of pastry in his small black hand and handed it to Qingshan.

This made Qingshan either pick up or not. Iluo laughed heartlessly next to him, but decided to rescue Qingshan. Iluo said to Shuang'er: "Shuang'er, come here quickly, why is it so dirty?"

?" After saying that, he got up and took Shuang'er, put the cakes on the table, walked to the wooden basin aside and bent down to wash Shuang'er's hands.

Looking at the woman who was lowering her head to wash the little girl's hands, Qingshan was in a trance. She seemed to be a completely different person after a few months.

When Iluo and Shuang'er sat down at the table again, Qingshan took out the wooden hairpin from his front, handed it to Luo'er and whispered, "This is for you." Iluo took it curiously and asked:

"What's this?"

Qingshan was a little uncomfortable and said: "This is a hairpin carved by me. Don't dislike it." Yiluo took the hairpin in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was a hairpin carved from ebony wood. The body of the hairpin has some

The light pattern and the tail of the hairpin are decorated with two lilies that bloom side by side. It is very delicate and smells fragrant.

Iroh raised his head and said to Qingshan: "How can you dislike it? I like it very much. Thank you." Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as you like it." Such Iroh really made him feel very happy.

nervous.

Qingshan felt a little sad when he saw Yiluo accepting the hairpin but not giving him a gift in return. He thought she would treat him differently now.

Seeing that Qingshan looked a little unhappy, Iroh was curious, but it was hard to ask. On the other hand, Shuang'er raised a smile and asked Iroh: "Aunt, my uncle gave you something, why don't you give it to him?"

Shuang'er's uncle's call made both of them blush.

However, Yiluo somewhat understood the reason for his unhappiness, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, and my mother didn't tell me, so..."

Although Qingshan was a little disappointed, he still nodded and said: "It doesn't matter." Iroh, on the other hand, calmly looked around his room to see if there was anything he could give as a return gift. The one hanging by the bedside

The sachet made Yiluo's eyes light up, and he thought that this should be qualified.

At that moment, Yiluo went to the bedside and took out the sachet, handed it to Qingshan and said: "I sewed this some time ago, and it has been hanging here unused. Here it is for you. You can make it into a sachet or a purse."

of."

Qingshan raised his hand to take it, and felt a little warm in his heart. He suddenly felt that it would be good to have such a woman as a companion in his future life. Afterwards, the two of them chatted happily under the lubrication of Shuang'er. Iroh felt very fond of Qingshan in his heart.

The feeling was unexpectedly good, and I couldn't help but think to myself that there was nothing wrong with this arranged marriage.

The Luo family returned before noon. This is the custom here. The parents of both parties just talked for a while, and the man usually left before lunch. Yiluo and his family sent them out of the door and returned, and then came to help.

Some people ate and drank.

Ever since the decision was made that day, Iroh occasionally thought of getting married soon, and a sense of expectation arose in his heart.

It is already July, but the heat in the afternoon has not diminished at all. The eldest and second brothers also sold out their tofu early and went home. Now that the days are long and the nights are short, and it is the off-season for tofu, my father and the others are often there.

Take a break for an hour or two in the afternoon.

Yiluo occasionally took a nap at noon, but my mother and sister-in-law never took a nap. Every day at noon, they often found a shady place in the courtyard to chat and do needlework.

At noon that day, when Iroh was half asleep, he heard his mother's slightly surprised voice outside: "Qingshan, why are you here at this time?"

After hearing this, Yiluo was so excited that all the sleepyheads ran away. He vaguely heard the man's reply. Then the sister-in-law called outside: "Luo'er, come out quickly, Qingshan is here." Yiluo responded.

With a cry, he put on his shoes and got out of bed, but he was wondering what was wrong with him coming here at this time.

After leaving the house, Yiluo saw Qingshan sitting under the peach tree. The second sister-in-law went to the kitchen to make tea. However, his father had already come out when he heard the commotion and was talking to Qingshan there.

Seeing Yiluo come out, Qingshan quickly stood up and said as if to explain: "I went into the mountain yesterday to collect some prey. Grandma asked me to bring it to you to try today."

Li's mother said aside: "I'm sorry for you." Maybe she could see that Qingshan was a little shy in front of his family. Li's mother then said: "Luo'er, you and Qingshan go to the pond at the entrance of the village for a walk."

Iluo said hello and walked in front of Qingshan and went out. In fact, the mountain prey that Qingshan came to deliver this time was not the main purpose. Iluo nodded and took Qingshan away. When he went out, he saw those in the courtyard.

Yiluo was a little curious about the betrothal gift brought by the Luo family. Didn't the sister-in-law say that the Luo family's life was not very good? Now it seems that the betrothal gift is not bad at all.

What Iroh didn't know was that her eldest brother and second brother had each sent twenty taels of silver to the Qingshan family a few days ago, asking him to repair the house and buy some betrothal gifts, and also warned him not to wrong his sister.
