She stroked the hairpin carefully, and suddenly felt that there was a roughness in the sound of the hairpin, as if there were words engraved on it.
Xiao Lanlan quickly found this place and moved closer to the candlelight. Only then could she see clearly the word engraved on it. It was actually the word "Lan".
Her name is Lanlan, so the meaning of this hairpin is self-evident.
For a moment, Xiao Lanlan's heart beat like a drum and couldn't stop for a long time. She was surprised and uneasy, but the surprise was greater than the uneasiness.
Is Mr. Su II expressing his feelings to her?
The man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, but he gave her a hairpin for no reason and even engraved his name on it. It was hard not to think too much.
However, at this time, the depression that Xiao Lanlan felt because she was annoyed by Wang Po was indeed dispelled a lot.
Su Yanqing was equally uneasy. He was very nervous along the way. After returning to Zeng's house and lying on the bed, he was still tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
It was presumptuous of him to give the hairpin today. He didn't know what Miss Xiao was thinking. Would she think he was frivolous?
The main thing is that he took it upon himself to carve someone else's name on the hairpin. If Miss Xiao got the wrong idea, it would really damage his image in her heart.
It was destined that two people would remain sleepless tonight.
…
The next morning, Xiao Lanlan got up very early, but she was humming a song and looked very happy. It seemed that the unpleasantness of yesterday had disappeared.
But apart from Xiao Yi, no one knew that Xiao Lanlan had received the hairpin from Su Yanqing.
Originally, it was Xiao's mother's turn to go to town today, but Xiao Lanlan insisted on going first. She asked Xiao's mother to continue resting at home while she would go to the town to set up the stall.
It just so happened that Xiao's mother had to deal with the newly harvested sweet potatoes at home. Since Xiao Lanlan wanted to go, then let her go.
In the end, Xiao Lanlan got what she wanted. She and Jiang Sui sat on the ox cart and he told her the story quietly.
She now regards Jiang Sui as her good sister, not just her sister-in-law, and she only tells her little secrets.
When Jiang Sui learned about this, he looked surprised and shocked.
She could see that the two of them were in love, but she didn't expect that the Second Young Master Su would be such a proactive person. Not only did he give her the hairpin, he also engraved his name on it to express his love. Isn't that too brave?
Seeing Jiang Sui's expression, Xiao Lanlan covered her face in embarrassment:
"Hey, don't look at me like that. It's embarrassing."
Jiang Sui gently pinched her waist, causing Xiao Lanlan to laugh:
"Sister-in-law, stop making trouble."
"I was wondering why you have been crying and laughing these past two days. So you are a young girl who has just begun to fall in love. Do you have a lover? There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, Mr. Su is handsome and gentle, and he is easy to attract the hearts of girls. You are no exception.
Besides, you two have a mutual affection for each other, and it's not a one-sided love. Our Lanlan is beautiful, virtuous and capable, so it's no wonder that Mr. Su is attracted to her."
Jiang Sui's words were so blunt that Xiao Lanlan's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
"Fourth sister-in-law, please don't say that."
Seeing her so embarrassed, Jiang Sui was so happy.
"But, my fate is to bring bad luck to my husband, and our two families are not well matched, so I dare not have any extravagant demands on him."
She didn't let Jiang Sui say it, but she couldn't help but bring it up. It was really a contradiction.
Jiang Sui doesn't believe in fate, let alone the theory of destiny or supernatural powers, which are all nonsense.
But in the feudal ancient times, people were particularly concerned about this issue, and it would indeed become a gap that was difficult to cross, including within the family.
The Xiao family is now incomparable to the Su family, but it is only temporary. If Xiao Hechuan soars to the sky in the future, the gap in family background will not be a problem. But can their relationship stand the test of time? After all, there are still three years before the next imperial examination.
"That's all fake, don't listen to it, don't believe it. If someone misses you, it's someone else's loss. Why confine yourself to a prison and add unnecessary troubles to yourself?"
Jiang Sui doesn’t know how to comfort him? No matter how nice the words are, they are not as practical as direct actions. Just take it one step at a time. Every difficulty will be overcome.
Xiao Hechuan, who was driving with Xiao Yi in front, suddenly turned around. He saw his wife and Lan Lan, their heads close together, whispering something to each other.
He frowned unhappily and complained in his heart.
My wife is really something. She never tells me her secrets and only talks to Lanlan every time.
When they arrived in the town, Xiao Lanlan and Jiang Sui were preparing to open the market, but Lanlan's eyes were always looking towards the street intersection, as if she was waiting for someone.
At the town gate, Su Yanqing was already sitting in the carriage, and there were special coachmen and servants to see him off.
Mr. Zeng did not follow him on this trip to Jeju Prefecture, but only accompanied him to the town gate.
"Are you really not going to take another look? Maybe Miss Xiao is there!"
Mr. Zeng could see Su Yanqing's hesitation, but he didn't know what was wrong with this guy.
Su Yanqing still didn't admit it:
"Uncle Master, please don't make random assumptions. Why did you mention Miss Xiao for no reason?" He avoided her gaze.
"Okay, if you don't admit it, it's no wonder you don't have a wife. Never mind, just go away. I can finally have some peace and quiet." Mr. Zeng put his hands behind his back and yawned.
I have been taking care of his daily life for the past two months and haven't had a good night's sleep. Now I can finally go back and take a nap.
Su Yanqing glanced at the gate of Baima Town, and finally told the coachman to drive away.
He didn't dare to think about how he would be viewed if his actions offended others when they met again.
Until noon, Xiao Lanlan still hadn't waited for the person she wanted to wait for. She couldn't help feeling disappointed, but life had to go on.
…
In the following days, the Xiao family's business was stable, and no one dared to have any thoughts or targets against them. Xiao's hot and sour noodles had become the most popular stall in Baima Town.
Five days later, Boss He was released and finally behaved himself.
This prison in Baima Town is really not a place for people to stay. The weather is hot and stuffy, and the food is terrible. During these five days, he got a lot of prickly heat, lice, and lost weight.
If he had known that scheming against others would have to pay such a heavy price, he would never have done it even if he was beaten to death.
He really believed in this nonsense. The Xiao Ji just had a conflict with him.
The weather was really terrible. There was no sign of rain at all. The crops in the fields were dying of thirst. The water was almost dry. The ground was cracked. Many village chiefs came to the pavilion chief and asked him to organize some rain-praying activities.
At that time, every household donated some money, bought offerings to the sky, and everyone beat drums together to pray to the gods for rain.
I still remember that the last time it didn’t rain for several months in a row was more than ten years ago. Whenever there was a severe drought, every town would hold rain-praying activities to pray for rain from heaven to moisten all things on earth.
