Half a month later, Ge Kaiwen came back from the capital, his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide, and he was teased by his family.

Ge Kailin took the opportunity to blackmail: "Second brother, I said a lot of good things about you in front of Xinyu, you can get engaged to Xinyu Shun, but my credit is indispensable, how can you reward me?" ”

Ge Kaiwen didn't eat her: "You are my sister, and you have the best relationship with Xinyu, shouldn't you deserve to say good things for me?" ”

Ge Kailin was bored: "Hey, the second brother is not interesting." ”

Ge Kaiwen laughed and pointed to a large box brought in by Liu Mo and a sergeant: "Tease you, these are all yours." ”

Gordon leaned over: "What is it?" ”

"Miss Six, there are a lot of things, you have time to take your time." Liu Mo and the sergeant carried the box straight to Caixing Courtyard.

Ge Kailin's eyes, which were almost glued to the box, amused everyone.

Tan Liu'er teased her: "People are here, their hearts are not here, if you want to see it, you can see enough." ”

"Hehe, then I'll go." A trot out of the house.

Everyone was about to run to the gate of Diecui Courtyard, and they heard Ge Zhonghei shouting: "Kailin's in-laws have to be well picked, and they can't marry someone with strict rules in the family, otherwise they will not be able to suffocate a villain to death." “

"You still need to say this, Kailin is the youngest granddaughter in our family, if anyone dares to give her grievances, see if I don't abolish him." It has always been a woman who sings with her husband, but this time it has come upside down.

Out of the Diecui Courtyard, Ge Kailin's steps slowed down.

She couldn't tell what was going on with her, she just felt empty in her heart, and she was anxious to see the gifts, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to come out, so as not to be seen by everyone that she was absent-minded.

When he returned to his house, he saw that Shui Cress was cleaning up the big box sent by Liu Mo, and asked casually, "What are they?" ”

Shui Qin said: "Most of them are books, and what other slaves and maids can see are the gadgets in the capital and the snacks that Miss Six loves to eat." ”

These are all customary gifts given by the second young master to the sixth young lady, and there are several exquisite boxes in the box. She didn't dare open it.

Please instruct: "Miss Six, the bookshelves are full, is there a special study?" ”

The furnishings of Ger Kailin's bedroom are very simple, except for the wardrobe is a bookcase. The wardrobe is placed in an inconspicuous corner, and almost all of it is books, and people who are not familiar with it come in and think they have entered a bookstore.

"You can discuss this matter with Shui Jue, as long as you don't break my book." Gordon took out a wooden box from the large box.

The lid of the wooden box is engraved with colorful stars. The fine leaves, the cumbersome and small flowers, the colorful colors, the carving is no worse than Ge Tianbiao, and Ge Kaiwu is not the same style.

She was curious who sent it, Ge Kaiwen didn't have this ability, and Ge Kaifu was even more impatient to do this.

I wanted to open it to see what it contained, but I found a small lock hanging on the box, and I searched the box but didn't find a key.

It's strange that the gift is locked. If she doesn't give the key yet, it's hard for the second brother to play some tricks with her.

For the time being, she put the wooden box in the drawer, and she and the cress packed the big box together.

There were nothing new in the other boxes, nothing more than some jewelry and toys, which were given to her by the second aunt, eldest cousin, eldest cousin, eldest sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, and Wu Yinhua.

Wu Yinrong and Ge Kaiwen are in the same capital, and the two only say hello when they meet occasionally at Wu Ziyi's house, and generally do not interact with each other.

It was Wu Yinhua who asked her husband to send Ge Kaiwen some food and clothing from time to time, and every time Ge Kaiwen returned to Ge Town. Wu Yinhua will ask Ge Kaiwen to have some things, and gifts are indispensable from old to young.

Ge Kailin pulled the knife and gun in the box, very speechless.

Big brother, sister-in-law is pregnant. You don't have to give me a toy for your nephew or niece, I'm not a child.

As soon as the things were packed, Kevin Ge came to look for her, and she teased again.

Kevin Ge asked her, "Did you see a wooden box with a lock on it?" ”

"It's kind of mysterious." Gordon took out a wooden box engraved with colorful stars from a drawer.

"Brother Xiang can't come back to attend my marriage ceremony because of something." Ge Kevin handed over a small copper key: "Open it and take a look." ”

"What?" Ge Kailin felt flustered inexplicably.

"Now that it's locked, see for yourself." After saying that, Kevin went out, and by the way, he pushed everyone else in the room away.

Press the inexplicable love in my heart. Ge Kailin opened the lock with the key, hesitated for a moment, and then lifted the lid of the wooden box, and immediately froze after seeing the contents of the box.

There are two rows of wood carvings neatly arranged in the box, from the ugly baby full of hematomas to the delicate and bright young age, each wood carving is her appearance, from the time she is less than one year old, to the time she turns fifteen this year, a full sixteen.

What does it mean that Gordon's brain circuits are insufficient?

Tan Liuer announced that although Xu Xinyu is not the daughter of the Ge family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Ge family, and she grew up in the Ge family, so she will follow the rules and regulations, and she can only get married at the age of eighteen.

Xu Xinyu is not yet fifteen years old, she and Ge Kaiwen can only make a small ceremony first, and wait for Xu Xinyu to turn sixteen years old, and then make a big ceremony.

Ge Kaiwen's face immediately put a wry smile on his face, and the rest of the people laughed in their own way, and Ge Zhongji even laughed.

There are large and small orders in this dynasty.

Small order means that men and women only exchange tokens with each other, and the relationship between the two parties is determined first.

The main reason for the big order is that the man sends the bride price to the woman's family, and the woman's family then gives the dowry list to the man.

The big engagement ceremony in Yuncheng County is similar to other places, and the small engagement is a bit of a toss-up, in addition to exchanging tokens, the man must also drink a small bowl of bitter meat juice squeezed by the future father-in-law.

On the way to Wu Licui's house when Ge Kailin was a child, Wu Limei and Wu Licui taught her and Wu Yinwei to recognize bitter meat, saying that although bitter meat tastes extremely bitter, it is the most pure-hearted and defeated, and it is the best to eat in summer, and it is also a good antidote.

At that time, just listening to Wu Limei, Ge Kailin felt bitter water under her tongue.

Wu Yinwei asked Wu Limei, is the bitter meat still bitter after boiling water, Wu Limei replied, it is cool and slightly bitter, but it has no medicinal value.

In other words, no matter how this bitter meat is handled, it is bitter, and drinking bitter meat juice is no different from being tortured.

What's worse is that if it's bitter, it's bitter, and you have to pick it up and give it to the other party to abuse yourself.

Just looking at Ge Kaiwen's handsome face and wrinkled bitter gourd face, Ge Kailin could imagine Ge Kaiwen's expression when he drank the bitter meat juice.

Ge Kailin concluded that Tan Liu'er definitely did this on purpose.

Other people's girls get married when they are fifteen years old, and some get married before they are fifteen years old, and then have a round house when they are fifteen years old.

And the imperial court did not stipulate that if you are too young, you can only make a small order, and whether it is a small order or a big decision is your own decision.

But no one interceded for Kevin Ge. Who made Kevin Ge look like a nerd all day long, but in fact, he was extremely black.

In the words of Ge Kailin, it is full of bad water and putting on a serious face to play tricks on people.

It's easy to be able to hug a beauty. No matter how hard it is, tomorrow is an auspicious day for a small engagement, and Ge Kaiwen hurried to act.

When Gezhen was still Gejiazhuang, there was wasteland everywhere and wild vegetables everywhere. Half a basket can be picked in a quarter of an hour, and now that the land is being used, it takes a lot of effort to get enough juice for the bitter meat to be picked on flat land.

At the request of tourists, the mountain has undergone some renovation in recent years, but most of the places still remain in their original appearance, and it is easier to find enough bitter meat than at the bottom of the mountain, when the sun sets. Ge Kaiwen picked a basket full of backs.

The next day, the day of the small feast.

The father-in-law smiled kindly, and the vegetable juice in the tray and bowl in his father-in-law's hand was beautiful, and the thick liquid glowed green.

Ge Kaiwen gently saluted Master Xu, calmly picked up the bowl on the tray, slowly brought the bowl to his mouth, tilted his head, opened his mouth, and held his breath, like pouring water. A bowl of green juice quickly poured into the mouth.

After drinking the bitter meat juice in one go, Ge Kevin bent over and wanted to vomit, but he still held back, and his body almost shrunk into a ball.

"Good. Bring the sugar. ”

The witness shouted, and a small hand reached out to Ge Kaiwen's eyes, and on the open palm, a few pieces of candy lay quietly on it.

Xu Xinyu's little face was flushed, she was distressed and didn't dare to look directly at Ge Kaiwen's expression, and she saw that Ge Kaiwen forgot her bitterness for a while.

"First bitter and then sweet. In distress, good luck and good luck. The Witness sang.

Ge Kaiwen woke up, picked up the candy in Xu Xinyu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Xinyu was so anxious that she snatched the sugar from his hand: "Alas, I haven't peeled it yet." ”

Not only did he not peel off the outer layer of paper, but he stuffed a few pieces of candy in at once, and he couldn't choke.

The people who watched the ceremony burst into laughter.

Someone coaxed: "Hey, this is not in accordance with the rules, you can't eat sugar immediately after drinking the bitter juice, otherwise where will you experience the bitterness." ”

Someone agreed: "It is this statement that not only can you not eat sugar immediately, but you can't eat sugar quickly, you have to let the sugar slowly and naturally dissolve in your mouth, otherwise you won't be able to experience the benefits of bitterness first and then sweetness." ”

"Eat candy, Licheng, please take a seat."

"Hahahaha......"

As soon as Master Xu's voice fell, the relatives and friends who watched the ceremony burst into laughter.

A person who was about the same age as Master Xu smiled and said: "Master Xu is really distressed about his son-in-law, we witnesses haven't spoken yet, you are in a hurry to announce the ceremony, is it possible that you are afraid that we will bully your son-in-law." ”

"Hahahaha, I really made you right, a son-in-law is half a son, I don't feel distressed, can I expect you to feel distressed?"

"Haha, I want to feel sorry for my son-in-law, but it's a pity that my family has a bunch of light boys, so I can only do it in a hurry."

The small ceremony is held at the woman's house, only the future son-in-law goes alone, and someone needs to witness when drinking the bitter meat juice, as for the exchange of tokens, it is a private matter between the two families, and the witnesses who watch the ceremony only need to eat and drink well.

In the afternoon, Ge Kaiwen came back, and Ge Kailin was entangled; "What the second sister-in-law gave you, let me see, I promise not to say it."

Ge Kaiwen handed over a small thing: "I don't recognize this, I asked her when Xinyu gave it to me, but she refused to say, only said that it was her baby, sister, you often play with Xinyu, have you ever seen this thing?" ”

Picking up something that was only half the size of her little finger, Ge Kailin looked at it carefully, this thing seemed similar, but it was different from what she had seen, could it be that Xu Xinyu made it herself?

Laughing: "Congratulations to the second brother, marrying a clever woman, when the two of you become relatives, the husband sings and the wife follow, and assists each other, that is really a pair made in heaven, a pair set by the earth, but not to envy others." ”

Ge Kaiwen snatched the token from Ge Kailin's hand: "Little elf, don't change the topic, you haven't answered me yet." ”

Ge Kailin is no longer playful: "This is called a tongue whistle, it is a musical instrument in the mouth, Xinyu will blow a few songs when she is bored, this is her personal thing, no one has shown it except me, she gave this to the second brother, I don't need to say what it means." ”

In the previous life, Xi Xinyu whistled and never avoided Ge Kailin, and only Ge Kailin heard her whistle.

"I naturally know what to do." Ge Kaiwen cherished and put the tongue whistle close to his body.

Ge Kailin asked him, "Second brother, how long can you stay at home this time?" ”

Ge Kaiwen touched the top of her head: "About half a month." ”

"Why can't Brother Xiang give you a few more days off in such a short time."

"There are a lot of things going on in the capital, so I can't stay too long."

"Except for the time to visit relatives and mentors, you and Xinyu don't have much time to get along at all."

"Haha, you are wrong this time, I don't have to visit relatives and friends when I come back this time, I just spend all my time with Xinyu, and others have nothing to say."

"Unless you get the holy decree, others don't dare to say anything even if they have opinions, but the emperor won't be idle enough to even take care of this matter."

"The emperor just wants to take care of such a trivial matter, and it won't be my turn, but he won't let me go when it comes to serving the emperor."

Ge Kailin was curious: "Second brother, have you really seen the emperor, what does the emperor look like?" ”

Ge Kaiwen gave her a brain on her forehead: "It's the emperor who has a task assigned to Brother Xiang, and he sent it to me." ”

"That is, you haven't seen the emperor," Ge Kailin touched his forehead, "The mission sent by the emperor can still be transferred?" ”

"The emperor didn't say let him do it himself, otherwise he wouldn't have to die of exhaustion." Kevin Ge is funny.

Raising his hand again, his fingers curled, Ge Kailin covered his forehead and dodged: "But what does this have to do with you accompanying Xinyu?" ”

Ge Kaiwen said: "Do you still remember the flood a few years ago, Yuncheng County is the main resettlement place for the victims, the emperor somehow suddenly remembered this stubble, and asked Xu Xiang to report the situation in Yuncheng County, I want to come back to engage, Xu Xiang sent me to inspect by the way." ”

"Oh, I see," Ge Kailin's hand left his forehead, "Xinyu, as a breeding official appointed by the imperial court, has the obligation to accompany you to inspect the mountains, and the two of you are together every day, but it is justifiable." ”

Yuncheng County is mountainous, and now the entire Yuncheng County is suitable for cultivating fungus on the hills, all under the jurisdiction of Xu Xinyu, which is basically natural growth plus artificial intervention, and greenhouse fungus cultivation is only in Gezhen.

"Yes, my sister deserves to be called a villain." Kevin Ge curled his fingers sharply and knocked them on Ge Kailin's forehead.

Ge Kailin was annoyed: "If you really have a daughter-in-law, you will bully your sister, you go, you go." ”

Push Kevin Ge out.

"Hahahaha." Kevin Ge laughed and walked out with her hand.

He came back this time, and he did have a heavy responsibility.

I don't know whether to say that Zhenwuhou is shrewd or stupid, Yuncheng County is mountainous, not far from the capital, and it is a good place to hide.

But he forgot that this is Xuxiang's base, and Xuxiang has personally explored and inspected the large and small mountains in Yuncheng County.

Watching Ge Kaiwen walk out of the courtyard, Ge Kailin stood quietly under the eaves for a while, went back to the house and took out the brocade box from the drawer, looking at the lifelike statues, she didn't know what to think. (To be continued.) )
