Seeing the door closed, Gu Rongyu glanced at the person on the beam. The dark figure consciously covered his ears with his hands to ensure that he would not eavesdrop.
He opened the protective film and took out the money he had earned from copying books over the past few days, which was not much, about one and a half taels, and handed it to Chang Xixi, along with a cloth bag.
Chang Xixi opened it curiously and took a look. It turned out to be a gorgeous hairpin with a blooming peony carved on it, and then a calyx that was about to bloom.
"That must be a lot of money, right? Where do you get the money to buy it?"
Gu Rongyu glanced at the tea that had been brewed long ago on the table. "That's gold-plated and not worth much. I bought it at a small stall. I think it suits you very well. I spent half a tael on it."
"Next time, don't buy something so expensive. It's not easy for you to make money by copying books."
Chang Xixi felt sorry for this man for a moment, as he had no money at home yet he was still engaging in such romantic affairs. However, she liked it very much and put it in her hair in front of the mirror. It really suited her.

Gu Rongyu nodded: "As long as you like it."

"Mom, what is this?"
"Your second brother's throat gets sore every year around this time of year. I went to the next village to get some honey and picked a few pears from the tree, all for this bowl of sugar water. It's such a waste of time."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Chang Xixi put on an apron, held the bowl and knocked on the door. After receiving the answer from inside, she walked in. Her second brother was sitting on the bed, looking at his sister holding the sugar water, feeling very grateful.
Chang Xixi put down the bowl and helped her second brother sit down. "Second brother, mother asked me to bring it to you. Drink it quickly."
"It's all your fault that your second brother is useless and made you suffer a few days ago."
