Song Si took Song Wanyue and Gu Yi downstairs, and after inquiring about the shopkeeper, he took a carriage and headed straight to the nearby jewelry shop.
Song Wanyue then asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
Song Si didn't hide in front of them, and his mouth was about to go to the back of his head, "What else can happen? You will have a sister-in-law soon!"
Song Wanyue's eyes widened, "Did you mean that Duke Ding betrothed your granddaughter?"
Song Si nodded with a grin, "Duke Dingguo originally wanted Mr. Xu to testify and asked me to ask a matchmaker to decide the marriage. I don't want to be so wronged. Miss Xiao said that she would talk about it after the results of the test come out. Duke Dingguo would ask me to leave a token of love."
"Okay, brother..." Song Wanyue was deeply impressed, "You have a sister-in-law who has come out of the West Market. You are very capable."
Song Si's mouth became even bigger, "You can help me pick it carefully later. You must choose the most unique one that represents my wish."
“Back to us.”
The carriage stopped in front of the jewelry shop door, and several people got off the carriage and headed straight inside. Song Wanyue and Gu Yi were in front and Song Si were in the back. After entering, they looked at the counters one by one. Gu Yi pointed to a golden hairpin of a magnolia, "That's good."
Song Si also thought it was good. Not only was it symbolic, but it was also in line with Miss Xiao's nature. She immediately asked the client to take it out and ask for the price.
"One thousand taels."
Without saying a word, Song Si took out the silver notes and bought them, and asked the guy to help him put them in the jewelry box, and walked out without looking back. "You two go back to the inn and wait for me, and I will go back soon."
After the words came, the person had already left the jewelry store.
Song Wanyue was also about to go out, but was pulled by Gu Yi and asked the guy to take out a butterfly golden hairpin at the counter. This golden hairpin is even more delicate than the one seen in the mansion. Not only is the butterfly's wings thin as cicada's wings, but even their eyes are extremely beautiful.
Gu Yi asked Song Wanyue to stand up and took a golden hairpin and put it on her head. The golden hairpin emitted a golden light under the sunlight, making Song Wanyue's little face look whiter and pinker.
"nice."
The guy was also a little stunned. He had never seen a girl of eight or nine years old who could wear a golden hairpin so beautifully, just as if the golden hairpin was tailor-made for Song Wanyue.
“It’s too heavy.”
Song Wanyue reached out to pick it. Gu Yi grabbed her hand and helped her pick it off and put it back in the jewelry box. "If you buy it, keep it first. You won't feel heavy after you wear it in a few years."
"Then let's buy it in a few years."
Song Wanyue really doesn't want Gu Yi to buy her jewelry anymore. Not to mention the ones he gave during the engagement, I don't know when the several boxes of beads in the house will be worn.
"It may not be so beautiful in a few years."
Gu Yi asked the guy to pretend for him.
"Young Master, this golden hairpin costs three thousand taels."
The guy thought about it and said the price first. Both of them still looked like they were children, and three thousand taels were not a small amount.
Gu Yi took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels and put it on the counter. The guy stared at him in an instant. After a while, he quickly accepted the bill and handed it over to the shopkeeper. He asked the shopkeeper to confirm the authenticity again and again. He took another one of five thousand taels and one of two thousand taels and handed it to Gu Yi respectfully together with the jewelry box.
Gu Yi casually collected the silver notes, held the jewelry box in his hand, and walked out with Song Wanyue's hand. When they left the door, the shop exploded.
...
When he got off the carriage at the gate of Duke Dingguo, Song Si calmed down, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the door with his jewelry with steady steps.
The housekeeper was waiting at the door, and when he saw him get off the carriage, he came up, "Prince Song, please."
"It's been a labor."
The housekeeper took him back to the living room. Duke Ding Guo and Mr. Xu were having an issue and stopped talking when he saw him coming back.
After Song Si gave the gift, he respectfully opened the jewelry box, "I came from a farmer and I don't have any special things on me. This golden hairpin I bought at the jewelry shop just now and gave it to Miss Xiao as a token of love."
Duke Ding took it with great joy, and even took it to Mr. Xu for him to look at it. Then he handed it over to the butler, "Go and send it to Yao'er."
The butler should have carefully taken the jewelry box and held it in his palm, and delivered it to Xiao Yao.
Song Si's eyes followed him until he could not see him, and then he took them back. Seeing that Duke Ding and Mr. Xu were looking at him, his face turned red.
Duke Ding laughed happily, "Old sir, today is a good day. You have to stay in the mansion for a drink."
"I'm afraid it won't work today. Let's go another day. When Song Si gets engaged with Miss Xiao, I will definitely come to ask for a glass of wine."
"That's all. If the old man doesn't come, I will come to invite you in person."
...
Duke Ding personally sent the two out. Before he could reach the gate, the housekeeper hurriedly chased after him, "Mr. Song, Miss Yaoer said that you would give you this veil and let you use it first. When her arm is ready, she will embroider a few more pieces for Mr. Song."
The handkerchief is white, with a delicate Yao character embroidered on one corner.
Song Si took it and recited it silently several times in his heart, and couldn't help but smile silly on his face.
Duke Ding saw it and burst into laughter again, "Now you have recognized the door, if you have anything to do, come straight."
"Thank you, Duke."
"You are so kind, you are my prospective grandson-in-law now. The family doesn't speak two families."
"Yes, Song Si, since you have become a relative, don't be polite. Just come to the Duke directly if you have any questions."
Mr. Xu had some ideas. The person behind Zhang Huai did not hurt Song Si today, so he would definitely not give up. If there were people from the Duke's Mansion to support him, the person behind Zhang Huai should have considered it.
"Students remember."
...
"Great-grandfather..."
Xu Ling'er walked anxiously in front of Mr. Xu's courtyard gate. When she saw him coming from afar, she immediately trotted forward to support him, "I have been waiting for you for a long time wherever you are going."
"Is there something wrong?"
"I heard something when I went out today. The student named Song Si got into trouble. I hurriedly ran back to tell you, but I didn't expect you were not in the mansion."
“It has been resolved.”
Mr. Xu was happy, and his voice was a little brisk, "Not only was Song Si fine, he also made a marriage with Miss Xiao from the Duke Dingguo Mansion."
"What?"
Xu Ling'er's voice couldn't help but suddenly raised, "He, is he engaged?"
Mr. Xu once thought about giving Xu Ling'er to Song Si, but he didn't say it out.
Judging from this girl's reaction, she wouldn't she be so thoughtful about Song Si, right?
Thinking of this, the voice sank slightly, "Ling'er, what's your reaction?"
