Chapter 683: Brother's Promise
"Since she doesn't want money, you have to take the jewelry. Besides, if we gave it to her and not to you, wouldn't you be angry? Why don't we just buy bracelets for all four of you sisters? You can forget your worries and have fun.
The two of them are mother-of-pearl bracelets. Wangyou and I went to buy them together. She also picked them out for you. I won’t tell you. You can choose them yourselves. Let me see if Wangyou’s guess is right.”
Wan Xian smiled gently, and when she looked at Jiang Ruyi, her eyes were full of gratitude, and when she looked at Jiang Fubao, her eyes turned into doting.
"Second sister, you have made the greatest contribution, so you choose first." Jiang Fubao took a step back and put his hands on Jiang Ruyi's waist.
Jiang Ruyi walked up to Wan Xian involuntarily.
She simply picked up the gold bracelet and put it on her hand.
The remaining pink jade bracelet naturally belongs to Jiang Fubao.
"Hahaha, Wangyou's guess was right. She knows you two sisters very well. Come on, Fubao, put on the jade bracelet. It's hot, so jade bracelets are the most suitable. This gold bracelet is also very suitable for Ruyi. The gems on it have six colors. The shopkeeper also gave it a nice name, called the Six Treasures Exquisite Bracelet."
Wan Xian personally put the bracelet on Jiang Fubao, then took Jiang Ruyi's hand and spoke slowly.
"Yeah, it sounds nice. I like it very much. Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Ruyi smiled sweetly.
She likes gorgeous things, especially gold and gems. This bracelet combines the two, and she can't refuse it at all. My elder sister really understands her.
"Fubao, you have fair skin. Wearing this bracelet doesn't make you look darker at all. On the contrary, it really suits you."
While praising Jiang Ruyi, we must not forget our goddaughter.
Wan Xian's left and right hands are always busy.
The two sisters stood on the left and right like her daughters.
The three of them talked a lot about personal matters as the sun completely set.
The couple stayed here for dinner.
The two of them were very thoughtful and only gave the gifts to the four sisters. What about the rest of the Jiang family?
So they came with a lot of gifts.
It’s just that the gifts for the four sisters were more expensive, especially Jiang Ruyi’s. Her bracelets were enough to buy all the bracelets for the three sisters.
Who asked her to change the recipe? The couple gave her the gift just for her.
It was getting late, and after finishing his meal and seeing his godfather and godmother off, Jiang Fubao returned to the second courtyard.
It was a hot day, and even though there was ice in the clinic, I still felt a little hot and was sweating to some extent.
After taking a bath, she changed into a transparent gauze pajamas, sat by the dressing table, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
Xue Huan was combing her hair behind her.
"Miss, you can't get up until you comb your hair three hundred times." Xue Huan's soft and cute voice penetrated Jiang Fubao's ears.
"Okay." She replied, took off the pink jade bracelet on her wrist and wanted to put it in the jewelry box.
This jewelry box was given to her by her elder brother Jiang Tongji.
I still remember that my eldest brother said that when he grows up, he will help her fill this jewelry box.
My eldest brother is now a scholar, and even though the family is not short of money, he often takes on some copying jobs, saying that he can practice calligraphy and earn money at the same time.
All the money earned and pocket money were used to buy jewelry for Jiang Fubao.
The box was already full and the jade bracelet couldn't fit in, so she simply put it on the table.
I plan to wear it again tomorrow morning. Jiang Fubao has a habit of not wearing any jewelry when sleeping.
Next to the jewelry box is a makeup box, which contains rouge, powder, black ink for drawing eyebrows, and cream for applying on the face and hands in winter.
This powder box was given to me by Jiang Tongxiang.
Compared to Jiang Tongji, although the two are not much different in age, their knowledge is very different.
The eldest brother is about to pass away, while the second oldest brother is just preparing for the county exam.
"Xue Huan, tell the cook to roast some chicken and pork jerky. Follow the method I taught them earlier. Big Brother is leaving soon. Eating some meat jerky on the way is better than eating dry food. This stuff is spicy and flavorful, unlike dry food which is hard to swallow. Even in summer, it can be kept for a while."
Thinking that his elder brother was about to leave, Jiang Fubao gave instructions to Xue Huan.
"Okay, I'll come and talk to you after I finish combing the young lady's hair." Xue Huan combed her hair again and again, counting in her mind while speaking.
Only after she had combed her hair three hundred times did she put down the comb, go downstairs and go to the backyard.
The time of the autumn examination varies every year.
This year's is a little later, so Jiang Tongji hasn't left yet.
When the lights in the Jiang family's courtyard were turned off, Jiang Tongji's room was still brightly lit.
He held the book in his hands, reading it intently, until the moon turned from left to right, and then he realized that it was getting late.
He extinguished the candle, put down the book, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in just a few breaths.
As for Jiang Tongxiang in the next room, he had already started having sweet dreams and was smacking his lips, as if he was eating delicious food in his dream.
At that time, the medicinal seeds in Zhoujia Village had already been planted.
Therefore, the villagers were very busy, not only having to take care of the crops, but also tending to the medicinal fields.
When September came, the chestnuts began to ripen, but they had no time to pick them.
It's a good deal for Sun Xiaotao.
After finishing her farm work every day, she would carry a bamboo basket up the mountain. Then, during the hottest time, she would stay in the mountain to escape the heat and pick up a whole basket full of chestnuts.
Chestnuts can be harvested in many places. She picked them for five days and filled two bamboo baskets before she planned to go to the town to sell them.
The two bamboo baskets were connected with a shoulder pole. After working on the farm for most of half a year, Sun Xiaotao had gained a lot of strength. Although he had to take a break after walking for a while, he finally reached the town in the morning.
She first went to Caishi Street, paid a deposit, and prepared to set up the stall. However, after an hour, she had only sold 10% of her goods. If she continued at this rate, she might not be able to sell out even by the evening.
Across from her was a woman who was also selling chestnuts. The two of them got together and prepared to go to the roasted chestnut shop on the street to sell them.
You know what, even though the price was a bit low, they bought it all.
The last two baskets of chestnuts were sold for a total of 120 coins, which made Sun Xiaotao very happy.
Fortunately, no one competed with her for the goods, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pick up so much.
After spending twenty coins to buy some necessary items and cutting off a finger-sized piece of flesh, Sun Xiaotao left the city and returned.
When she got home in the evening, it was already half dark. She fried some wild vegetables with meat, and it tasted so delicious.
When she woke up the next day, she continued to repeat the life of the previous few days, doing farm work, watering, weeding, going up the mountain, picking chestnuts, chopping some firewood and digging some wild vegetables.
Saved for five days.
She went to town again.
But halfway through, I met someone who was once the most familiar to me.
"Pillar--"
Sun Xiaotao called out to the people in front.
Jiang Zhuzi was stunned and turned his head to look.
But he looked away the next moment and continued walking forward with a stern face.
"Zhu Zi, wait for me, I have something to tell you." Sun Xiaotao couldn't walk fast because the bamboo basket on her was too heavy.
Seeing that Jiang Zhuzi refused to wait for her and even walked faster and faster, Sun Xiaotao was furious.
