Xu Linyue, who transmigrated from the 21st century, crossed over with a heaven-defying spatial ability, possessing the body of a five-year-old farm girl. She originally thought of just accepting he...
Wang said, "No one can predict matters of the heart. They are both good children. It depends on them."
The next day, Mrs. Qian specially gave the village maids a day off. Early in the morning, they took Kuiwu's carriage to the town, and Zhang also went with them.
Qibao did not get up early in the morning. Fuqiu brought her water for washing as usual, but she sent her away because she said she wanted to make a pair of jewelry with diamonds as a betrothal gift to Sister Dier, and she wanted to take advantage of her good mood.
Qibao flashed into the space, took out a piece of paper and began to draw. She planned to make a set of three pieces of jewelry: a diamond hairpin, a pair of diamond earrings, and a diamond bracelet.
This is also the first time that Qibao has used diamonds to make jewelry. The ones that come with the space are not suitable to be taken outside. After all, the workmanship is very fine and not something that people in this place can make. Taking them out might even arouse suspicion.
Qibao simply outlined the style he planned to make. Because diamonds are relatively dense and a little hard, but fortunately he had the dagger that could cut through iron like mud, so it was relatively easy to cut.
Qibao took a diamond and marked it with a pen, then began to work carefully with the dagger. After all, making jewelry was not her strong point, but when she thought about modern jewelry and combined it with her own ideas, she was able to make it look pretty good.
The more facets a diamond has, the better it looks and the more sparkly it is. However, this is impossible to do by hand, so Qibao can only produce a diamond with four facets at most.
They are all in the shape of butterflies, which fits the name Wendie very well.
Big Bear and Little Bear each held a handful of fruit and sat next to Qibao, chewing them with a crunching sound.
Ever since Xiong Er was frightened by Qibao last time, every time Qibao entered the space, he would follow Qibao happily, showing his teeth and acting cute.
Suddenly an apple appeared in front of Qibao. Qibao looked up and saw that it was Xiong Er, who gestured for Qibao to eat the apple.
Qibao was holding tools with both hands, so it was inconvenient for him to eat. So he took a bite of the apple with Xiong Er's bear paw.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Er clapped his hands on the ground with joy, and threw the apple that Qibao had bitten into his own mouth. He ate it even sweeter than before, as if the apple that Qibao had bitten was more delicious.
Qibao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then continued to cut carefully with his head down.
"Flatterer!" Xiao Ling curled her lips and lay there with her hind legs crossed, shaking them from time to time. She ate grapes and squinted her eyes, enjoying it.
Qibao didn’t know how long it took her to finally make this set of diamond jewelry, and she was very satisfied with it.
Especially the hairpin, which uses silver wire as a matching tassel style. There is a larger butterfly at one end, and three tassels hanging below. Under each tassel is a small butterfly with its wings spread out, ready to fly. The butterfly wings have four petals, and each petal has four facets, shining with dazzling light. It is rare to make it like this.
Qibao breathed a sigh of satisfaction, found a box to pack the finished diamond jewelry, and didn't know what time it was outside. He said hello to Xiaoling and left the space.
"Qibao, there's breakfast left for you in the pot, go and eat it quickly! We just had our meal not long ago, so you can't go hungry in the morning." Wang said with concern when she saw Qibao walking out of the room.
When Qibao saw this, he knew that not much time had passed. It felt so awesome to have a golden finger!
It was almost noon when Mrs. Qian and Zhang rushed back from the town.
"Qibao, I bought a lot of embroidery cloth when I went to town this time. I thought about it and decided to convert two rooms in the school into embroidery workshops?" asked Mrs. Qian.
Qibao agreed, "Okay, there's no suitable place to use as an embroidery workshop right now. The village school still has a few empty rooms. We can connect them together and make the place look bigger."
Madam Qian thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's no need to open a connection. The space is already sufficient. I'll send the embroidery cloth I bought today over, and I'll have the maids start work tomorrow."
Qibao didn't say anything else and just nodded.
So Zhang took the things she bought from the carriage, and Kuiwu took the remaining embroidery cloth, silk thread, etc. to the school in the carriage.
Zhang smiled and said, "Qibao, I bought some wedding candies and cakes. I'll share them with the villagers so they can share in the joy."
Qibao smiled and said, "Aunt, my brother hasn't gotten married yet! Aren't you buying it too early?"
Zhang waved her hand and said, "Now that the engagement has been made, Die'er has one foot in our family. Moreover, when your eldest brother passed the exam, because of the village, the villagers all came to congratulate us. We haven't had a banquet to entertain everyone yet, so these wedding candies and cakes can be regarded as a way for everyone to share in the joy."
Qibao smiled and said, "Aunt is really thoughtful."
…
These days, Mrs. Qian goes to school early every day and comes back with the children in the afternoon. She is busy every day, but it can be seen that she enjoys it.
Zhier has been in the Xu family for a long time and no longer needs Mrs. Qian all the time. He can also play well with the little girl Yaya, who is watched by Mei Niang.
Soon, the day when the Xu family would go to the Wen family to propose marriage was getting closer, and the Xu family members were a little anxious. After all, the betrothal gifts had not been delivered yet, and they were afraid of missing the auspicious day.
Finally, the items were delivered the day before the auspicious day.
The Xu family finally felt relieved.
They carried all the things into the house one by one. There were so many things! Each box was tied with a red silk ball, which showed the care taken.
The old man said: "Jingchen, thank you so much!"
Zhang also expressed her gratitude: "Yes! This is such a generous gift!"
Jing Chen said, "Grandpa Xu, Auntie, you don't have to be polite. These are also prepared according to the betrothal gifts of the wealthy families in the capital. I don't understand them, and I don't know if there are any shortcomings."
Zhang smiled and said, "No, no, that's fine. I'm really sorry to bother you and Chenyu."
The old man said: "We will prepare to set off tomorrow, and I will arrange for those people to go to Qingyun City together.
First of all, my wife and I must go. The eldest brother and his wife, as well as the aunts from the second and third brothers' families, must also be present. We must let the Wen family feel how seriously we take this marriage."
Wang nodded and said, "In addition, you need to give a red envelope of 10,010 taels, which means one in a million. Although the money is not much, it has a good meaning."
Li smiled and said, "Mother, I see that you are very satisfied with Die'er as your granddaughter-in-law. You usually don't want to spend money on others. Now you say that ten thousand taels of silver is not too much?"
Wang smiled and said, "This is a big happy event, marrying a daughter-in-law. The family will have more people. How can I not be happy? You and Honglian, don't worry. In the future, when the boys in the family marry and hold weddings, I will do the same. I will not be biased."
Li said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Wenwu is the eldest grandson, so his responsibilities are greater than his younger brothers. Moreover, as the eldest brother, Wenwu has always been very caring towards his younger brothers. He always puts himself first in everything, which is only natural."
