The pearls are set so perfectly that it must have taken a lot of effort for Chang'an to achieve this.
Gu Lili had indeed guessed this. In fact, Chang'an had started making this hairpin as early as when the wheat harvest had just begun.
During this time, Chang'an must have ruined countless pieces of wood before finally finishing the hairpin.
No wonder Chang'an looked so tired; it turns out he took time out of his farm work to do this.
Gu Lili held the hairpin and examined it closely, remaining silent for a long time.
Chang'an felt a little scared for a moment. He still remembered how Gu Lili had rejected Han Mingyue so decisively that day.
Gu Lili made it clear to him that day that even if the two of them were to be together, they would have to wait until he found his family.
"Lili, don't feel guilty. Before I find my family, all the gifts I give you are from your brother to your sister," Chang'an said somewhat helplessly.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Lili burst out laughing as she held the hairpin.
"I didn't say no, so thank you, Brother Chang'an. I also have a gift for you, wait for me a moment."
Gu Lili put away the hairpin that Chang'an had given her, then turned around and went back to her room.
When she came out, she was already holding a ready-made outfit in her hand.
Gu Lili smiled and handed over the clothes, "I bought these a few days ago, one set for each person in my family."
Chang'an took the clothes with both hands; it was a moon-white robe, and he was momentarily stunned.
He had gradually gotten used to doing farm work at Gu Lili's house, and looking at such white clothes, he subconsciously felt that he was not suitable to wear them.
Gu Lili herself didn't know why she chose a white dress to give to Chang'an.
However, when Gu Lili saw this dress, she felt that white seemed to suit Chang'an better.
Seeing the hesitation in Chang'an's eyes, Gu Lili said, "My second uncle and I are going to Jiangdu in a few days. We'll take you with us. These clothes will come in handy then. There are many merchants coming and going there. Maybe they can help you find your family."
Several days ago, Gu Lili had Gu Yun Chu hand over the portrait of Chang'an to Magistrate Yang, but it was unclear when the result would be available.
This time, we might as well just take Chang'an and go to Jiangdu to try our luck.
Hearing what Gu Lili said, Chang'an nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Lili. You not only saved my life, but you've also been searching for my family."
When Chang'an woke up, he heard Gu Yun Chu say that Gu Li Li had rescued him from the sea.
Chang'an found it hard to imagine that if Gu Lili hadn't saved him, he might have already perished in the sea.
What's more, Gu Lili took in a person of unknown identity like him.
Chang'an's "thank you" came from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Lili waved her hand and said, "Chang'an, you don't need to thank me. It was just a small favor. I should be the one thanking you properly. Since you came to my house, you have helped my brother and me with so many chores."
Gu Lili's words came from the bottom of her heart; to be honest, Gu Lili felt quite guilty.
Chang'an is both literate and martial, so his status must be extraordinary, but Gu Lili treats him like a farmhand.
Perhaps Chang'an had never suffered such hardship even at home.
However, Gu Lili's home is not a place to keep idlers. She felt bad about it, but she would not keep someone who was just eating and doing nothing.
Chang'an carefully held the clothes Gu Lili had given him in his arms and said, "That's all I should do. Anyway, thank you, Lili."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands in thanks to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili waved her hand and joked, "Chang'an, I didn't realize you were so sentimental. Alright, go and rest now, I'm going to wash up and go to bed too."
Tomorrow, I'll start making soap again.
Gu Lili had to get up early to sell lard and buy mulberry seedlings; a whole host of things awaited her.
Therefore, Gu Lili must go to bed earlier.
Chang'an nodded, then took the clothes Gu Lili had given him and went back to his room.
Once inside, Chang'an carefully placed the clothes Gu Lili had given him beside his pillow; the clothes still seemed to retain Gu Lili's fragrance.
This was the first time Gu Lili had given him a gift, which made Chang'an so excited that he couldn't sleep.
After washing up, Gu Lili lay down on the bed.
She took out the hairpin that Chang'an had given her and examined it carefully. At that moment, she was actually hoping that Chang'an would find his family soon, since he was unmarried.
Lost in thought, Gu Lili unknowingly fell asleep with the hairpin in her hand.
When I opened my eyes, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
Gu Lili looked at the hairpin in her hand and chuckled, "I actually fell asleep with a hairpin in my hand last night."
It seems that Gu Lili had a dream last night.
In his dream, Chang'an found his family and then disappeared without a trace.
Thinking about this dream made Gu Lili feel somewhat unhappy.
After all, she had taken him in for so long. If he really disappeared, Gu Lili decided that she would never speak to Chang'an again.
Gu Lili changed her clothes and carefully put the hairpin that Chang'an had given her into her dressing case.
Gu Lili thought about it and decided to wait until he found his family before making a decision.
Although Gu Lili transmigrated to this era of polygamy, she still couldn't accept sharing her man with others.
Putting herself in others' shoes, Gu Lili also didn't want to be someone who shared other people's men.
Although Gu Lili was still unsure whether Chang'an really had a family.
After putting away her hairpin, Gu Lili quickly washed up and headed towards Donghai Town in her carriage.
When they returned, just like that day, the cart was full of lard.
After breakfast, Gu Lili took Sizhu's father and went to Zheng Qian's place to get mulberry seedlings.
This time, Gu Lili not only brought her father, Sizhu, but also Chang'an and Li Ershu.
After all, loading saplings onto a truck is not an easy task.
This morning, Zheng Qian was still asleep when she was woken up by Uncle Fa Cai's knocking on the door.
He got up sleepily and welcomed Uncle Facai in.
Before Zheng Qian could say more than a few words, Uncle Fa Cai gave him a few copper coins and told him to buy some steamed buns for breakfast.
By the time he bought them, the yard was already piled high with mulberry saplings.
Zheng Qian was already used to this.
At that time, Zheng Qian did not expect that Uncle Fa Cai's business was so diverse, even selling tree seedlings.
Uncle Facai took the steamed buns, gave him the usual instructions that someone would come to pick them up soon, and then hurried away as usual.
Zheng Qian's sleepiness was completely gone after being disturbed by Uncle Fa Cai.
After eating the steamed buns, I started cleaning the courtyard.
Although Uncle Fa Cai only used this small courtyard as a warehouse, Zheng Qian still took great care of it.
Every day, in addition to cleaning, they also water and fertilize the flowers and plants in the yard.
