The maid went in to report. Lan Shuang put down the notebook in her hand, walked out and saw Xin Wujiang dismounting from his horse with a brocade box in his hand.
"For me?" Lan Shuang leaned against the pillar and looked at him with a smile.
Xin Wujiang strode over and handed the box to her. His expression looked a little unnatural, as if he was shy.
Not sure, let’s see.
Lan Shuang took it with both hands. The box was not heavy, but looked quite delicate. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Xin Wujiang: "Can I open it?"
"Um."
Xin Wujiang nodded.
Lan Shuang didn't bother to be polite with him. After opening the lid, she saw red silk spread inside, with a gold and jade hairpin lying on it.

She handed the hairpin to Xin Wujiang and lowered her head slightly, "Put it on me."

Here we are quoting an ancient custom called blind date. Yes, it is a blind date, an ancient folk custom. The man goes to a restaurant or the woman's home to see the woman. If he likes her, he puts a gold hairpin in the woman's hair. If he doesn't like her, he gives her two pieces of colorful satin to calm her down.
So Lan Shuang didn't ask for the hairpin back before, but asked Xin Wujiang to repair it, which was actually a subtle hint.
Today, Xin Wujiang repaired the hairpin with gold, brought it back and gave it back to Lan Shuang in front of everyone, which meant he was asking for her hand in marriage.
It was easier to understand why Lan Shuang asked him to do it for her, so she agreed.
The romance of the ancients is sometimes quite interesting.
