Chapter 20: Sister's Wedding (Part 2)
"Add makeup?"
Su Qian thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me, I'll think of a solution."
"Hey, we've spent all our money on the journey here since we were exiled. How can we buy makeup for Ah Qing? I'm so worried!"
Su Xi muttered with a depressed look on his face.
Su Qian thought for a moment and said to her, "Stand here and wait for me!"
Then she entered the stone house and closed the wooden door.
Afterwards, she summoned the trading market in her mind and spent 1 tael of silver to buy a pearl flower of a similar style to the one her original self had bought in the capital of Dongli Kingdom.
At this moment, she still had 1009 taels of silver and 1650 copper taels in her bank account.
Carrying the pearl flower, she walked out of the stone house and quietly handed it to Su Xi, "This is the pearl flower I secretly saved. You can give it to Sister Qing!"
"Ah? Then what are you going to do?"
Looking at the brand new silver beads in her hand, Su Xi was a little dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that little Ah Qian secretly hid such a piece of jewelry.
"I have other things here, no problem!"
Su Qian waved gently.
She had hundreds of grape-sized pearls in her hands, and she could just take out any one!
"Okay, I'll lend you this pearl flower. When I have money in the future, I'll buy you another one like it and return it to you!"
Su Xi said with a firm look in her eyes.
"OK!"
Looking at her eyes, Su Qian couldn't help but laugh and agreed cheerfully.
Once people have a goal, they will work hard.
"But how can I make money?"
Su Xi fed herself a bowl of chicken soup and then lost her temper. She found a stone and sat down casually. "We are now trapped on this deserted island. We have nothing but a dilapidated stone house. How can we make money?"
"Don't worry, there will be a way!"
Su Qian thought that she would wait until she had the chance to go to Haiping Town and buy a fishing boat before deciding.
Soon it was noon.
Because today is the day when Uncle Zhong's daughter is getting married, the Du family also said that the entire Su family should go to their place for the banquet.
Therefore, no one from the Su family went to the beach to pick seafood today.
However, by noon, the beach was still full of people.
This time, they were not rushing to pick up things, but waiting for the Du family to serve the food.
Su Xi took Su Qian to House No. 1 where Uncle Zhong lived, and saw Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong wiping their tears at the door.
"Uncle Zhong, Ah Qian and I are here to help Ah Qing with her makeup. Is she in there?"
Su Xi asked the two of them with a chuckle.
"Yes, yes, come in quickly!"
Aunt Zhong quickly wiped her tears and greeted the two of them, "Your sister Qing is still in there!"
Su Qian and Su Xi bent down and entered the stone house, and found Su Qing, wearing a red cotton dress, sitting cross-legged on the soft leaves.
"Ah Qian, Ah Xi, you are here! Come and sit down!"
Su Qing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and greeted the two of them with a smile.
Su Xi handed the pearl flower in her hand to Su Qing, "Sister Qing, your marriage should be a big event, but unfortunately I don't have anything to give you. I will give you this pearl flower as a gift. I wish you a prosperous and happy life."
"Thank you, Sister Axi, you are so thoughtful!"
Su Qing thanked Su Xi and said, "It is impossible to be rich and prosperous on this isolated island. I just hope that my marriage can make my parents' lives better."
"Sister Aqing, this is my makeup, please keep it!"
Su Qian pretended to take out a pearl from his sleeve and gently handed it to her hand, "I wish you and your brother-in-law a happy marriage, and he will treat you like a treasure!"
Su Xi was dumbfounded as she looked at the pearl in her hand. "Sister Qian, how could you give me such a valuable thing so easily? Take it and keep it!"
She was about to return the pearl to Su Qian.
How could Su Qian take back something he had given away?
She shook her head and said, "I still have a lot of these things, you can keep them!"
Su Xi, who was standing by, was dumbfounded when she saw the pearls in Su Qing's hand. She asked Su Qian blankly, "Ah Qian, where did you get such big pearls?"
"Silly boy, of course I hid it myself! My father gave it to me on my birthday, and I have kept it close to me ever since."
Su Qian curled his lips and said to Su Xi with a smile, "I still have some here. When we get to Haiping Town, I will buy a fishing boat, and then we can live a good life!"
"Ah Qian, do you want to buy a fishing boat?"
Su Qing's eyes lit up, and she called her father Uncle Zhong and asked him to call her husband over.
"It's like this! Ah Qian, the Du family I'm going to marry has lived on this island for almost three years! He has opened up some connections in the past few years and can travel between this island and Haiping Town at any time. When he comes over later, I'll have him take you to Haiping Town to buy some things tomorrow."
She grabbed Su Qian's hand and said, "You gave me such a big makeup gift, so I'll take it as a return gift! I know you must still have a lot of things to buy, so you should prepare them tomorrow."
Su Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that he could go to Haiping Town in advance!
She thought she would have to wait another seven or eight days!
Soon, Su Qing's husband came over in a red dress!
Su Qian looked at him. He had a pair of clear eyes on his honest face and looked like a simple and honest person.
After hearing Su Qing's story, he nodded and said, "Okay! Since my wife has asked, I will make the contact. There will be a fishing boat coming at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. Sister Qian, you just need to get ready early!"
"Well, that's natural!"
Su Qian nodded gently, "Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome. You are Ah Qing's sister, and naturally you are also my sister, Du Changsheng! If you have any problems in the future, just come to me!"
Du Changsheng waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked at Su Qing, "My wife, are you ready? Your husband is here to take you over!"
"Um."
Su Qing nodded shyly, and let the other party carry her like a princess to the Du family's wedding room.
"Ah Xi, Ah Qian, the feast is about to begin! Go find a seat on the beach!"
Uncle Zhong spoke softly to the two people who came out of the stone house.
"good."
When they reached the beach, Su Qian saw Gu Luyun and Su's second uncle sitting together.
Then the two of them sat down together.
After all, the Du family has been on the deserted island for more than two years, and the food here is indeed different from when they first arrived.
The food at the banquet was added with a lot of condiments, as well as other pork, mutton, beef and other ingredients.
It's obvious that they went to Haiping Town to get it done!
This made the Su clan members, who had not tasted pork for a long time, eat with great delight, "Ah Qing is enjoying a good life by marrying into the Du family!"
"Yes, I heard that the Du family will be three years old in a few months. After paying the head tax, they can return to the mainland to register their household registration and settle down!"
"Really? Then Ah Qing can leave too, right?"
"That's for sure!"
