Chapter 53: Li Xiaofang gets married
The days were dull and busy, and in a blink of an eye, it was October 15. The store closed relatively early on this day, and Li Miaomiao went home early.
Since the horse-drawn carriage has been introduced, the way back has been much easier. As soon as she walked to the door of her house, she saw Aunt Zhang waiting outside the door.
Li Miaomiao hurriedly opened the door of the house and invited someone in, "Why is my aunt waiting outside the door, I've been waiting for a long time, come into the house."
Aunt Zhang waved her hand with joy on her face and said, "It didn't take long for me to come out to try my luck, but I didn't expect to come back just in time for you." ”
"Is there something wrong with my aunt?" Li Miaomiao asked.
Hearing her ask, the smile on Aunt Zhang's face became a little more, "It's really something, your sister Xiaofang got married on the twenty-first of this month, and my aunt came to talk to you, don't forget to come and join in the fun when the time comes." ”
After listening to Aunt Zhang's words, a smile also appeared on Li Miaomiao's face, "This is a good thing, I will definitely go over early that day, and my aunt can just open his mouth if he needs help."
"Hey, my aunt won't be polite to you if there's something."
informed Li Miaomiao, Aunt Zhang also said goodbye and left, she has been very busy these days, and she has to go home to prepare things.
After Aunt Zhang left, Li Miaomiao began to think about what makeup was appropriate, but she was not familiar with ancient jewelry or anything at all.
Speaking of which, she has never been to the Silver Building since she came here. The only jewelry was the hairpin given by Gu Xingyun, thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch the white hosta on my head.
The next day, it was still early, so I went to Aunt Xie's shop to pick out a good fabric. The peach-colored jacquard satin, the color is not exaggerated but festive, and it will be more refreshing to make clothes and wear them on Li Xiaofang.
Rao is Aunt Xie gave the lowest price and spent five taels of silver, and after she wrapped the fabric, Li Miaomiao asked what jewelry was suitable to buy.
Aunt Xie saw that she was so generous, so she suggested, "Just spend two or three taels of silver to buy a silver bracelet and silver hairpin." ”
"Wouldn't this be a little less", Li Miaomiao felt a little stingy about sending these to friends.
Hearing her words, Aunt Xie couldn't help laughing, "This is a lot, these seven or eight taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to chew for a year." Besides, the dowry cost only fifteen taels, and you can still get past the husband's family. ”
Li Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and felt that what Aunt Xie said was very right, and she only thought about being good to her friends, so much so that she forgot about etiquette.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many customers, Aunt Xie simply went to the silver building with her.
Jin Yu Zhai is the only silver building in the town, and the scale is not small. As soon as they entered the door, they were greeted by the little two, which can be said to be the best of customer first.
Li Miaomiao was treated like a guest, and she couldn't help but arouse her desire to shop.
Under the introduction of Xiao Er, I first bought makeup for Li Xiaofang, a carved silver bracelet, and a delicate plum hairpin, all of which are brought by young girls nowadays, which look very pleasing and sufficient.
Li Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh that this ancient silver jewelry was really cheap, and these two things only cost three taels of silver.
She didn't like to wear jewelry very much, so she bought a small silver bracelet and a small silver lock for Yanyan, the little girl was young, but she didn't need a hairpin, so Li Miaomiao picked a few beaded flowers.
Thinking that the people in the old house have been doing well recently, especially in the two months since she opened the store, not only did she often come to help, but sometimes when the weather was bad, the two children could not follow to the store, and they were not at ease when they stayed at home, so they arranged to go to the old house.
And not only Yanyan, but even Xinxin praised himself for the kindness of the people in the old house.
Li Miaomiao is like this, others treat her with three points, and she will want to return seven points.
So, I picked out gifts for everyone in the old house. Grandma Yang is two silver bracelets full of weight, and two aunts each have a silver hairpin, the style may be average, but the weight is absolutely sufficient. Li Cun Tao's is the popular hairpin and a few beaded flowers.
It cost fifteen taels, and the shopkeeper saw that she was so generous, and sent a few beaded flowers and red silk tied to her hair, Li Miaomiao specially picked the little girl to bring, and prepared to go back to give it to the little girl of Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang's family.
In the end, she was forced to be taken away by Aunt Xie, and Aunt Xie was really helpless about her, and spit out as she walked, "You girl, you can't control yourself when you buy it." ”
Li Miaomiao smiled embarrassedly, she couldn't tell her that shopping was a woman's nature.
"You are also a kind person, the people of the old house have done so many wrong things to your brothers and sisters in the past, don't you complain in your heart, and prepare gifts for them." Aunt Xie couldn't help but sigh when she saw that she had bought a few people from the old house.
"Resentful, I used to want to have no contact with them. But after so long, the resentment in my heart has long disappeared with time. Li Miaomiao replied.
Looking at Aunt Xie's concerned eyes, he took her arm affectionately and said, "I believe that God will not treat kind people badly." Besides, they were punished too. My grandmother is so old, three sons, only one by my side, and two daughters are also unreliable, I saw them a few days ago and felt a lot older. ”
Li Miaomiao thought about it, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart. But he still held up the smile on his face and said, "People are not saints and sages, who can do nothing, they can change, I naturally won't hold on to it." In the end, they are all people who are related by blood, and I can't accompany a few children for a lifetime. In the future, one more family member will also have one more protection."
Aunt Xie felt that what she said was very right, and agreed, "You think about it, you are right, whether it is you and Yanyan or Lei Lei in the future, it will be much better to have a family to rely on." ”
The two hurried back to the cloth village while talking, and Li Miaomiao asked Aunt Xie to pick two pieces of fabric for men, one dark one for Li Dazhuang and Li Qingshan, and one for a few boys in the family.
When she returned to the village, she first went to Li Xiaofang's house to deliver gifts. Seeing what she took out, the eyes of the two mothers and daughters were red, and Li Miaomiao, who was upside down, was a little overwhelmed.
"Auntie, what's wrong with my sister, I'm not happy to give a gift."
Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, Miao Miao, it's your gift that is too valuable, how can my aunt accept it." To be honest, she is not unmoved when she sees these things, these days, she is worried about the dowry, Li Miaomiao These things are undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow. But she can't take it, or she will have a bad conscience.
Hearing her words, Li Miaomiao couldn't help laughing, and persuaded her, "Auntie and I are polite, I treat you as family, Sister Xiaofang is not only my family, but also my only friend, I just sent some of my heart, you shirk it like this, it makes me feel uncomfortable." ”
The two of them were very eager to hear her words, so they no longer refused.
Li Xiaofang held Li Miaomiao's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Miaomiao, I keep in mind your kindness to me, and if there is a place where my sister can help in the future, you can just speak."
Li Miaomiao naturally responded again and again, and was not good at dealing with this situation, so she hurriedly left after a few words of greeting.
When I returned home, I took the two children and brought gifts back to the old house.
Everyone in the old house was very enthusiastic when they saw the three sisters and brothers, and when they saw the gift Li Miaomiao took out, they were even more mixed, happy, moved, and remorseful.
Li Miaomiao automatically ignored the expressions on their faces and took a few children to play. Naturally, I had dinner at the old house in the evening.
After returning home, Li Miaomiao gave the gift she bought to Yanyan and brought it, which made the little girl jump up with joy.
took out four beaded flowers and a few pieces of red silk and asked her to send them to Erya and Xiaowei, and the little girl was naturally very happy.
Soon it was the day of Li Xiaofang's wedding, Li Miaomiao went over early in the morning, helped with the preparations, and was busy going to Zhang's house to pick people up before stopping, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this ancient marriage is really tiring.
