Chapter 372 Extra Chapter: Song Erniang (14)
Song Erniang finally nodded.
For no other reason than that she also thought Long Hanshi was a good person. Song Erniang wouldn't dare say that Long Hanshi was the best person, but he was the kindest person she had ever met.
He has a scale in his heart, a scale that he controls himself.
In addition, a few words from Sister Long Hanshi also touched Song Erniang.
"Han Shi and I depended on each other for survival. Although Han Shi left many years later, I still know my brother very well."
He said a good person can't be a bad person, and that you've all had tough lives, and he wants to spend his life with you.
Song Erniang didn't know what to say.
While Long Hanshi's sister and Song Erniang were talking, Long Hanshi had already gone to the yard to tidy up.
And so, Song Erniang decided to live with Long Hanshi.
...
"My sister has contacted the official media, and everything is being arranged according to their instructions. Everything that needs to be arranged must be arranged."
Oh, my sister has already spoken with the silk shop in the city about the wedding dress. They have some ready-made ones, so she'll have them send over a set. You can just adjust the size and stitches a couple of times.
My sister has also prepared a bride price.
It's those wild geese... they're not easy to hunt, but don't worry, I'm sure I can get them.
Oh, and there's also the banquet. I spoke with the chef at the estate, and he said to just let him know once the date is set, and he'll definitely give us time!
We'll invite everyone from the village to a feast then, so everyone can have a good time.
Everyone here is a good person and has taken good care of us. This is also a good opportunity to let everyone know that we are living together now.
My sister has already prepared the betrothal gifts for you.
I told her I'd make you two more pairs of gold bracelets and two gold hairpins, so you'd look good wearing them.
"Oh, and there's more..." Long Hanshi looked very excited.
Song Erniang was a little confused!
She thought that living together as a couple was just about the two families getting together for a meal, without needing to make a big fuss.
But now, all Long Hanshi is doing is going through the entire wedding process.
“Han Shi, no need, this is too wasteful of money. You don’t earn money easily these days, you can’t do this…” Song Erniang wanted to persuade Long Han Shi not to make such a big deal out of it.
Long Hanshi waved his hand.
"Don't worry about the money, you've forgotten! I made two hundred taels of silver selling two old pumpkins!"
Song Erniang...
She almost forgot that Long Hanshi was a fool with good fortune; he actually managed to sell two old gourds that nobody would want even if they were left on the roadside for two hundred taels of silver.
"Oh, my sister said that when she got married, in addition to preparing a dowry for my sister, my mother also secretly slipped two silver notes into her hand."
I gave my sister a fifty-tael note to keep for me.
My sister said that back then, my mother could guess that my relatives were all ruthless and heartless, and that after she passed away, I definitely wouldn't be able to keep the family business.
She prepared some things in advance and asked my sister to keep them.
When I get married in the future, they will all be given to me.
My sister told me all that day that I shouldn't worry about the money, because she said Mother had left me some.
As for the land and property in my hometown... well, I'll just leave them be.
"My sister wants us to have a grand wedding," Long Hanshi told Song Erniang.
Song Erniang wanted to persuade him further, but Long Hanshi simply took his machete and went up the mountain. He needed to chop firewood; otherwise, what firewood would Song Erniang use to sell wontons tomorrow?
Song Erniang could only watch helplessly as one item after another was moved into her courtyard.
...
With only two days left until their wedding, Song Erniang temporarily stopped selling wontons.
Everyone who sets up a stall outside the city knows that Song Erniang is getting married, and her husband is the honest young man Long Hanshi.
No one was surprised at all.
Song Erniang is quite beautiful, so it's perfectly normal that someone would be interested in her.
Long Hanshi... is also a good person who can manage a household well, and it seems like the two of them getting together is a natural progression.
Everyone offered their blessings.
The old woman selling tea assured Song Erniang that she would definitely help Song Erniang watch over the shed and prevent others from using it.
Once Song Erniang has finished preparing for her wedding, she can return to her stall and continue selling wontons.
...
Song Erniang finished sewing the last stitch on the wedding dress in her hand, and then looked at the wedding dress in her hand again.
Unlike the expensive wedding dress she wore at her last wedding, this one seems a bit shabby.
However... Song Erniang felt very at ease holding this wedding dress.
She even looked forward to that day.
The last time she rode in a bridal sedan chair, she was heartbroken and despondent. I wonder what she will feel this time...
Gently touching the wedding dress in her hands, Song Erniang carefully placed it into the chest.
She looked around the room; it was already filled with quite a few things.
Long Hanshi told her that he would come and take her to his courtyard when they got married, and afterwards... Song Erniang could live in whichever courtyard she wanted.
In short, he followed Song Erniang wherever she lived.
Thinking of what Long Hanshi had said to her, Song Erniang suddenly felt her cheeks burning.
Perhaps... life won't be too difficult for two people!
The two supported each other and slowly walked forward; they should be able to walk smoothly...
"Song Erniang? Song Erniang? Are you home?"
As Song Erniang was deep in thought, the voice of the village head's wife rang out from outside the courtyard.
Song Erniang hurried to open the courtyard gate.
"Auntie, is there something you need from me?" Song Erniang looked at the woman who had come with the village head's wife in surprise.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a beautiful face and a polite smile.
“You are…” Song Erniang sized up the woman.
"You're Song Erniang, right? I'm Lianniang, the owner of Gusu Chunbuwan! I've come to see you today because I have something to discuss with you."
A merchant caravan from Lingnan is a long-time customer of our Chunbuwan restaurant; he used to love your wontons the most.
He felt it was a bit of a pity that you hadn't set up your stall these past two days.
He stayed in the city today and kept talking about this dish. I was thinking of bringing my cook to learn how to make it so I could make it for that traveling merchant when I got back.
"Don't worry, I've brought the reward. It will definitely satisfy you!" Lian Niang said, taking a box from the maid who had come with her and looking at Song Er Niang.
Song Erniang...
"Song Erniang, you go and greet our distinguished guests! I'm just here to show you the way!" The village head's wife left at the opportune moment.
"Shall we go inside and talk?" Lianniang looked at Song Erniang with a smile.
Song Erniang had no choice but to lead Lianniang into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Lianniang handed the box in her hand to Song Erniang.
"This is a dowry for you, sent all the way from the capital. Take a look!"
Song Erniang had already figured out who had sent the dowry.
Her elder sister! Song Zhimian, the former empress's personal maid who just married the regent!
