Chapter 208: Rite of Passage
"Big sister, what are you bringing your mother here for? My mother is old, so I don't buy these things." On this day, Liu Yiyu brought Liu Li to the old auspicious silver building, thinking that the eldest sister wanted to buy silverware for herself, Liu Li hurriedly said.
After Liu Yiyu heard Liu Li's words, he looked at Liu Li in a daze.
Liu Li is now less than forty years old, there are already a lot of fine wrinkles on his face, three thousand green silk, a lot of gray hair, and a hairpin with a bun on his head, or the first pot of gold that Liu Yiyu earned when he lived in a cave before, and bought a wooden hairpin for Liu Li's family.
But now that his own life is slowly getting better, Liu Li is still worrying about this and that, from being cowardly and scared at the beginning, confused about life, to now being a mother and being strong, Liu Li has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now that his life is better, Liu Yiyu has worried a lot about his younger siblings, and has thought a lot about his younger siblings, but he is much less interested in Liu Li than his younger siblings.
"Eldest sister, my mother is not bitter, my mother is willing to do whatever you want as long as your sisters and brothers are good, let my mother do anything, my mother doesn't buy these, let's go back!" As a mother, for her children, she is willing to give everything she has unconditionally.
"Mother, in a few days, but the second sister and the third sister will have their fifteenth birthdays, and my daughter is thinking about this, fifteenth birthday, but it is a coming-of-age ceremony, we also have to give them a birthday gift, which can be regarded as the dowry given to them by our family after the two of them get married in the future."
"Mother is busy and forgetting? Three days later, it will be the fifteenth birthday of the second and third sisters, and we should also buy one or two pieces of silverware for the two sisters to marry, and then the two sisters will marry together, and it will be beautiful." The day before yesterday, the Liu family's ten acres of land and the house in front of them had just been completed, plus Zhou Hao. Zhang Cheng and Huang Qing had to help, the family had to cook for them, and the village had partnered to pick honeysuckle, and the Liu sisters and the Liu Li family were also busy one by one.
"This aunt and girl, what do you want to buy, I'll show you, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not?" After Liu Yiyu and Liu Li walked into the old auspicious silver building, they ushered in a maid, and the maid did not look down on Liu Yiyu and Liu Li's clothes, and greeted Liu Yiyu and Liu Li with a smile and asked.
Liu Li, who came into the Silver Building, was a little cramped, and after hearing the words of the maid of the Silver Building, he slowly relaxed, and looked around.
"I'll take a look with my mother at will, and I'll talk about what I like later." Liu Yiyu replied with a smile.
"That's it, the two guests will look at it at will, and if they like something later, they will call me again." After the maid heard Liu Yiyu's words, she didn't follow Liu Yiyu and Liu Li, but stood a little farther away, paying attention to Liu Yiyu and her mother out of the corner of her eyes.
Liu Yiyu nodded, and pulled Liu Li to the place where hairpins, bracelets, and pendants were sold.
I saw a variety of silver hairpins displayed at the counters. Bracelets, pendants, earrings, and the weight and price of the silverware are also marked.
Suddenly, after Liu Yiyu saw a set of silverware on the counter, Liu Yiyu's eyes lit up.
That set of silverware is a heart-shaped pendant, the pendant is tattooed with lotus-shaped white clouds, a set of ten, one large and nine small, nine small heart-shaped pendants around the big heart-shaped pendant, like the stars holding the moon.
This set of pendants is exactly ten, and the Liu family has a few sisters and brothers, plus Liu Li and Xun'er, isn't it just ten people? .
This is simply tailor-made for the Liu family.
This set of silver jewelry weighs only three taels of silver, and the selling price is five taels of silver, which is much more expensive than other silverware.
Liu Li also saw the set of silverware, and his heart was also very moved, Liu Li pulled the hem of Liu Yiyu's clothes, and motioned Liu Yiyu to buy the set of silverware.
In the end, Liu Yiyu bought the set of silverware, bought a one-tael bracelet for the second sister, the price was one or two-five, and the second sister and the third sister bought another one-tael hairpin for three taels of silver.
After that, Liu Yiyu took a fancy to a plum blossom silver hairpin, which weighed two taels and asked for three taels, which Liu Yiyu bought for Liu Li's family.
In the end, Liu Yiyu spent twelve or two-five.
However, Liu Li saw that the eldest sister spent so much silver after buying so much silverware, although Liu Li was distressed, but this was bought for his own children, and Liu Li didn't say much.
Three days later, it was the birthday of the second and third sisters.
On this day, on a sunny day, it actually rained drizzly, and when the rain stopped, it was hazy after the rain, the air was refreshing, and a rainbow hung in the air.
There are several sisters in the Liu family, except for the fifth brother and the seventh brother, their sisters and the Liu Li family are all in the embroidery building.
The second sister and the third sister sat in front of the bronze mirror, Liu Li held a comb in his hand, with a smile on his face, and combed the second and third sisters with tears in his eyes.
"You two sisters from such a young age, your mother began to bring up, and now unconsciously, in the blink of an eye, your sisters have reached the age of marriage, your mother is very happy, you have finally grown up." Liu Li combed the hair buns of the second sister and the third sister, as long as they brought hairpins, this was a ritual ceremony.
After Liu Yiyu saw this, he handed the hairpin he bought for the two sisters to Liu Li.
Liu Li interjected the two sisters one by one and said, "This is the dowry that your eldest sister bought for you, and the silverware for your sisters to marry, even if the two of you sisters marry out in the future, you have to remember in your heart that your eldest sister is good to you, this family, if there is no eldest sister, what is our family still going to be?" But it's definitely not going to be as good as it is now."
"Big sister, what a .....".
"We are all sisters, needless to say about the rest, in the future, when the two of you sisters get married, the eldest sister naturally wants to marry the two of you in a beautiful way, eldest sister, not only for your sisters to prepare this, but also others, today, take advantage of the day of your sisters and Lu, all bring them, so festive and festive." Liu Yiyu said, took out a box, and then brought the silver hairpins they had bought, a pair of silver earrings, a silver bracelet, and one of the heart-shaped pendants to hang around the necks of the two sisters.
However, the second sister and the third sister saw that their eldest sister was like a trick, and after bringing silver hairpins, earrings, bracelets and small silver pendants around their necks one after another, their sisters were a little dumbfounded.
There was no such silver in the original dowry, and both of them knew that it was a dowry that the eldest sister had bought for the two of them with her own money.
When the sisters reacted, their hearts were full of emotion, their eyes were full of tears, their lips moved, and they didn't know what to say.
"Big sister ......".
It's all in plain sight.
