To be honest, the skirt was only stained with a small piece of sugar painting, which was not serious.
Just wash it and it will be clean.
But in public, I can't ask the girl to wash her skirt... Maybe paying compensation is the best option.
Lihua, with a look of apology on her face, invited the girl to go to a nearby teahouse to rest and change her skirt. While apologizing, she took out a small ingot of silver and sincerely apologized to the girl:
"I'm so sorry. Miss, would you mind coming with us to a nearby teahouse to rest and change clothes?"
The girl seemed a little surprised, and her expression changed for a moment, but she quickly returned to her friendly smile.
"Oh, how can I feel so embarrassed? Although this skirt is newly made, it is only made of cotton and silk, and is not worth much."
Although the girl spoke modestly and politely, with a shy smile on her face, her hands did not slow down at all. She grabbed the silver ingot and stuffed it into her sleeve.
Although her expression changed quickly, it did not escape Xia Daohua's eyes.
In addition, before, she suddenly rushed out from the side, but afterwards she was able to wait quietly for Xia Daohua to coax the child before speaking. Xia Daohua always felt that there was something strange about this encounter.
Both sides expressed their courtesy and said goodbye.
But the girl had already introduced herself to the Xia family in a straightforward manner. She said her name was Caique, and she was the daughter of a farmer's family who originally lived in the suburbs of Jixiang County.
I recently moved to the county to live with relatives.
This skirt was made by a relative, and today was the first time she wore it. If it got stained the first time she wore it, she would not want to make her relative worried... Otherwise, she would not want compensation from the Xia family.
As she spoke, her eyes moved from Lihua, Wulang, Xia Daohua, and Linghua to each one. Xia Daohua always felt that there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Her gaze stayed on Wulang the longest and was the most charming.
Soon, Caique said she had something else to do and hurriedly left. Before leaving, she gave Wulang a handful of autumn spinach.
Xia Daohua looked at Wulang carefully.
He's still a teenager, a young boy, but he's already having romantic affairs so early?
Well, he was neatly dressed, looked energetic, and was a young scholar. No wonder the girl's burning eyes kept wandering towards him.
Xia Daohua smiled and treated this as just an isolated incident, not taking it seriously.
But in the following days, Xia Daohua no longer dared to think so.
Wulang discovered that he always met this colorful girl by chance for unknown reasons.
Even though he spent most of his time studying in the Enlightenment School, he rarely went out except on the way to and from school and on days off.
At first, the colorful girl only greeted him indifferently, maintaining the politeness of a stranger who had only met once.
Later, because they met so many times, she began to smile shyly at Wulang, and would chat with him, saying things like "What a coincidence, we meet again."
Later, whenever she saw Wulang from afar, she would smile broadly, pure and dazzling.
Several of Goro's classmates have been teasing him.
There was a classmate named Lu Guanchao, who was one year older than Wulang. He liked to get close to Wulang and loved to joke.
Ever since he met this colorful girl, Lu Guanchao always made eyes at Wu Lang:
"Xia Xiaolangjun, your Red Luan star is moving!"
Wu Lang frowned, looked stern, and stopped him solemnly:
"Don't talk nonsense. If any rumors get out, it might ruin the young lady's reputation."
Seeing that Wu Lang was speaking seriously, the classmates calmed down a little.
But the chance encounters between this colorful girl and Goro happened too frequently.
Although I always have an excuse, which seems perfectly natural at first glance, it also seems that something is wrong. But when I think about it carefully, it turns out that those excuses are not worth investigating.
Anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong.
It felt as if this colorful bird girl was really a colorful bird.
It usually builds its nest on the eaves of the Enlightenment Academy. When it sees Wulang appear, it flaps its wings and flies around Wulang.
At first, Wu Lang didn't take it seriously. He couldn't control who he met on the road or who he didn't meet.
But this happened too frequently, and his classmates couldn't help but tease him from time to time, and even his teacher heard about it. Wu Lang felt that he could no longer turn a blind eye and let it go.
Wu Lang told Lihua and Xia Daohua about this. Although he felt that he could handle it, for some reason, he just didn't want to hide anything from his elder sister Lihua and his younger sister Xia Daohua.
After hearing Wu Lang's words, Xia Daohua realized that something was wrong.
When the colorful girl and Linghua bumped into each other, it might have been intentional.
It is even possible that the person she wanted to bump into in the first place was Goro.
However, children like Linghua are always jumping and running around excitedly, and there is no clear direction they run in every time, so it is really hard to guard against them!
Miss Caique had also returned to the Xie family at this time. She was respectfully reporting to Xie Fanglan on the progress of her work during this period:
"That young master from the Xia family is very serious and old-fashioned. He was not polite to me. I feel..."
Xie Fanglan raised her eyelids and looked at her.
Cai Que faced Xie Fanglan's gaze and gritted her teeth as she spoke her own conclusion:
"I think... he might not have figured it out yet!"
Cai Que, who was in charge of seducing Wu Lang, was a little worried because her work had not made any progress. This time she came to report to Xie Fanglan, firstly to report on her work, and secondly to ask for some advice.
Xie Fanglan nodded, indicating that she understood, but did not say what to do next, and let the uneasy Caique go down.
Xie Fanglan was wondering whether to let Hui'er appear or let Caique change her target and focus on Xia Youtian?
The best solution, of course, is to let Cai Que marry into the Xia family and openly uncover the secret behind this store.
Since Xia Wulang is the only male in the fourth branch of the Xia family, it is only natural to hand over this profitable shop to his wife.
But if Xia Wulang is really a greenhorn as Caique said, then it would take years of hard work to learn the ropes!
Even if Caique can wait, the Xie family cannot.
Or maybe, there was no need to actually seduce Xia Wulang, let alone let Cai Que marry into the Xia family...
It would be enough if Wulang and Caique could get acquainted with each other, set up a trap for him, and recruit some outsiders as witnesses.
