Chapter 3: The Betrothal (6)

Because of the time of the voyage, Qing Qian must leave for the country before the end of the month, just in time for the opening of the school there. According to Yan Yezheng's intentions, the engagement ceremony between He Shiyi and Qingqian was scheduled for July 20. He Shiyi's body has just recovered, and the affairs in the army are complicated, and the trivial matters of engagement are handed over to Qing Qian.

"Who are you going to invite over there?" On this day, Qing Qian was drawing up a list of invited guests at home, and casually asked He Wet Clothes.

"There is no one at home, just a few colleagues in the military department, I will greet you when the time comes." He Shiyi casually took the list of guests agreed upon by Qing Qian.

"Hey, we're all about to get engaged, and I don't know who your family is?" Qing Qian suddenly realized that he actually knew nothing about this prospective husband. What is the family background of He Wet Clothes, Qing Qian doesn't care. However, in my selfish heart, Qingqian still wants to know more about He Wet Clothes. The engagement came in such a hurry that it seemed that everything was in time.

"There is only one mother in the family, and my hometown is far away from Jinyuan, so let's make plans when we get married!" He Shiyi smiled lightly, and during this time, he seemed to have returned to his former gentleness and politeness.

"That's it! Where is your hometown? In fact, if there is a car passing, you can ...... "I don't know why, Qingqian wants to meet his future mother-in-law, He Shiyi said that his father died early, and it must be not easy for his mother to bring him up."

"No need, the old man is old, and it is not suitable to travel and travel." He Shiyi's expression was flat, and he did not accept the shallow suggestion.

"Well, then you write a letter to your aunt and tell ......your aunt about our affairs." Qing Qian said without realizing that his face was flushed. Although I feel shy, these words are to be said.

"Okay." He Shiyi saw that he was so shallow, but he rarely showed a warm smile.

"Don't talk about this, you must be very tired of being alone these days! I'll go out for a walk with you. He Shiyi put the list in his hand on the table, and pulled up his hands lightly.

"Yikes! My father custom-made jewelry on Convergence Road, and I calculated that today was the day to pick up the goods, and I was too busy to forget. Qing Qian suddenly remembered that his father had said that he had customized a few pieces of jewelry in the convergence road "Heng Man Pearl", and asked Qing Qian to pick it up in person, if he was not satisfied, he could let the master change the style. Think that today is the day to pick up your order.

"Then we'll go to the convergence road." He wet clothes aloud.

Huiju Road is one of the most prosperous markets in Jinyuan, and it is always so lively all year round. The 'Hengman Pearl' of custom-made jewelry is very famous in Jinyuan, which is a time-honored brand for some years, and the jewelry made is known for its exquisiteness. Most stores have a custom of home delivery, but this one does not have such an example, which is evident from this.

Although Qing Qian had heard of the reputation of this store for a long time, because he didn't like to wear jewelry, he had never been here. After looking for a long time on Huiju Road, I finally found a very small storefront among the many shops with gorgeous decorations. It's really a very small façade, and the shop door is also very small, with a few simple wooden door panels, and still standing in the inner corner of the door. Outside the main entrance of the store, a couplet, 'Four o'clock constant full of gold and silverware, a room often condensed the light of jewels', horizontal batch of 'constant pearls', the words are clever. The pair of big red is the base, because the color has faded a little because of the age.

Qing Qian and He Shiyi walked into the small shop, only to see a guy leaning against the counter dozing, looking very lonely. I was surprised that the vision was very different from what I thought. When I think of the couplet I just saw, I smile slightly. I think that this 'constant pearl' is no longer the scenery of the past.

The two walked into the store to explain their intentions, and the guy hurriedly led the two to the side hall, served tea and poured water, and was very attentive. Then, another guy from the store brought the good jewelry to show them.

Two pairs of earrings, two rings, two pairs of jade bracelets, two pairs of beaded hairpins...... They all come in pairs and are very colorful. It seems that the style of each piece is also delicate and chic, and Qing Qian picked up a pair of jade-inlaid bracelets at a glance, only to see that bracelet, two semi-circular jade, the joints on both sides are wrapped by gold polished into a flower shape, and then connected. White and lustrous jade, yellow and bright gold. It was the first time that Qing Asa felt that gold could be so elegant.

Qing Qian looked more and more in love, so he put it on his wrist and tried it on. But I don't want the ring to be a little big, and the belt is very loose in my hand, and I can't help but feel discouraged for a while.

"Miss, if it's out of the way, just let the master in the store tighten this bracelet." The guy saw the shallow intention at a glance and said on the side.

"Really?" Qingqian listened to it and was happy in his heart.

"But I have to trouble the two of you to sit here for a while."

"No problem." Without waiting for a shallow opening, He Wetsuit had already agreed.

The man had already taken the bracelet and went into the inner room to find the master, leaving only Qingqian and He Shiyi in the side hall.

"Are you going to be okay in the afternoon?" Qing Qian is worried about delaying the government affairs of He Wet Clothes.

"Out of the way." He Shiyi picked up the jewelry in the tray, looked at it and said again; "Uncle is really a good eye."

"Well, I'm glad I listened to my father's words and came to get ...... myself," Qing Qian also secretly sighed that his father was thoughtful.

The two waited in the side hall for the man to take the bracelet and improve it for the master. Not long after Qingqian and He Shiyi sat down, they saw a delicate woman in a dress, holding a small folding fan, and walked into the store. Behind him was a very clever little maid, who was putting away the small umbrella in her hand.

The master and servant walked around the store, looking at the tray of jewelry taken out by the guy in front of the counter, but they didn't like it.

"How is it still like this! Don't have a better look? The maid looked at some of the jewelry that the guy in front of the cabinet took out, and pouted dissatisfied.

"These are already the best in the small store, if the lady is not satisfied, you can ask the master in the store to customize." The attitude of the guy in front of the counter is very good, and he always has a smile on his face.

"I thought it was such a great time-honored brand, but it turned out to be all these goods." The maid had been very critical since she came in, and the young lady only stood aside and did not obstruct it, as if she had acquiesced. Miss Kan frowned slightly when she heard the words of the guy in front of the counter, and she became more and more like she had won an arrow, and her momentum was bi.

Looking at the few pieces of jewelry in the tray, although they are not eye-catching, they are all exquisite. Listening to the girl's tone, she frowned slightly.

While he was talking, he saw another woman walk into the store. This woman is gorgeously dressed and beautifully decorated. He looks a little old, but he walks lightly, and the gold and silver jewelry he wears makes a noise. The woman walked into the store with a smile, and her eyes were very charming. It seems to be an old acquaintance with the guy, and as soon as he walks in and leans against the counter, he greets the guy in front of the counter.

"Xiaolin, do you have any good jewelry?"

"Miss Pan hasn't seen you for a few days, and she is getting better and better?" The guy seemed to have honey in his mouth, and he praised Miss Pan. Qingguang secretly felt hard for the guy. The gray face that was robbed by the master and servant just now, but now he has to greet the guest with a smile.

"Kobayashi is getting more and more likeable. Yo, this time it's all good-looking! The woman in the groom was about to say a few words to the fellow, but her eyes were drawn away by the jewelry in the tray.

"My young lady hasn't chosen it yet?" The maid was not happy, and pulled the tray with a "hula" to prevent the woman in the bright clothes from touching the jewelry on the plate.

"Oh, this young lady is also here to buy jewelry, do you have any fancies?" The woman in the dress put down her outstretched hand and looked at the master and servant opposite, with no displeasure on her face.

"Hmm." The woman in the dress just responded inaudibly, and then casually chose to look at the jewelry on the plate, and did not pay attention to the meaning of the woman in the dress who took the initiative to talk.
