Chapter Ninety-Two: New Boots for the New Year
He Yao pondered the wording, "But Lord Xiao Gu, I still plan to recuperate for a while......"
"Every inch of time is an inch of gold, you are young now, you should hurry up and work hard." Gu Zhuzhou couldn't refute, "Go back and prepare, and enter the Guo Mansion in three days." β
He Yao really wanted to give him a mallet.
Judged from Tiansi, He Yao carried the reward silver and bought rouge gouache and a few silk flowers on Tongtuo Street, she should be sixteen years old after the New Year, and it is time to learn to dress herself well.
She also bought a new pair of boots for Yuan Yu, thick-soled boots made of cowhide, which is a newly popular style among Luo Jing's Xiaolangjun, not to mention how energetic she is when she wears them.
She wore a red jacket and skirt, holding the things she bought, and walked happily through the alleys to the house.
Turning the corner, she saw a group of children gathered under the old plane tree, shaking their heads and reading in a milky voice: "At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"
They were too young to understand what they were reading, and they just read them one by one.
The patience was exhausted, so under the cover of books, they secretly squeezed their eyebrows and laughed with each other.
The autumn wind is blowing, and the golden sycamore leaves are fluttering.
He Yao doesn't like to read, but she is inexplicably happy when she watches others reading and doing homework, so she watched it for a while before she staggered back home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Steward Liu greeted him in a panic, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him, and lowered his voice in horror: "Second girl, my cousin is here, sitting in the main hall!" β
He Yao's apricot eyes instantly opened and chirped.
He Yao is the most stubborn girl in the He family in Luojing, and the cousin girl of the He family is the most stubborn girl in the He family in Ningzhou, Northwest China.
She is one year younger than He Yao, and she is the youngest granddaughter of He Yao's grandfather's brother, because her mother hopes that she is beautiful, and her father hopes that she will be strong and strong, so she is named a word, plus a surname, and together she is called He Meixiong.
He Meixiong loves the excitement of Luojing's New Year, and runs alone from Ningzhou to Luojing every winter, and wants to taste whatever delicious and delicious food she sees, and He Yao's wardrobe is even more suffering, and she almost wears a better dress.
is still very capable of fighting, often pestering He Yao to make moves, and can fight from early morning to dusk.
He Yao hurriedly stuffed the newly bought things in his arms to Steward Liu, "Help me hide it-"
"What to hide?"
A crisp voice suddenly came.
At the end of the corridor, a girl in a gray plain skirt came straight like a free sparrow.
The girl has no hairpin ornaments from head to toe, the only precious thing is a lily silver hairpin on the bun, because she runs under the sun in the northwest all the year round, her skin is slightly dark, but her facial features are refreshing and beautiful, and when she laughs, it is sweet and wild, like a sour wild fruit growing in the desert border city.
She hugged He Yao, "Second cousin, I miss you this year!" By the way, what do you say to hide? β
She let go of He Yao and took the things in Steward Liu's hand by herself, "Yo, rouge gouache!" There are also silk flowers, which are really beautiful, we don't have such a style in Ningzhou. Did these buy me anything? Thank you second cousin! β
The little girl was so happy that she picked up the silk flower and put it on her head.
He Yao sneered, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." β
"Boots ......" He Meixiong touched the delicate upper of the boots again, "Second cousin, I heard that your fiancΓ© came to Luojing from Liangzhou, did you buy it for him?" Second cousin, I haven't seen him yet, is he good at kung fu? How does it compare to my brother? Second cousin, he'd better not be a scholar, otherwise I'm not welcome. I'm going to talk to him, if he can't beat me, then he doesn't deserve to be my brother-in-law! β
The little girl turned around and walked away.
He Yao was not lightly frightened, the little marquis was powerless, didn't he look for death against He Meixiong?
She hurriedly grabbed He Meixiong, "Wait! β
He Meixiong was puzzled, "Second cousin, I haven't seen you for a year, where has your boldness gone?" It's not the daughter of our He family! β
He Yao had to say sincerely: "The little marquis is indeed a scholar, and he is not proficient in riding and archery kung fu. You go to him for advice, isn't this bullying? Why don't I talk to you? β
He Meixiong's face was suddenly full of disgust, and he hugged his arms and spit on him, "Phew, the dignified uncle of the He family doesn't know how to ride and shoot kung fu!" Even our daughter's family can't conquer it, how will we conquer the barbarians in the future?! I don't want it, I don't want such a brother-in-law! β
She was very willful, and after losing her temper, she threw the new boots on the ground, stepped on them, and ran away with a puff of smoke.
He Yao bent down to pick up the boots and wiped the shoe prints on them distressedly.
Steward Liu haha, "Miss Cousin has such a temperament, and when she grows up in the future, it would be good to say that she would marry someone." She came to Luojing alone for the New Year, and the second girl took care of it. β
"I'm already a big girl, so I won't take her childishness to heart."
He Yao wiped off his new boots and continued to look for Yuan Yu happily.
Yuan Yu was looking at the accounts in the study.
The ledger of Mantou Cave was lucky enough to survive the fire.
Now that he has obtained the token, the power of Mantou Cave belongs to him, and he has ordered people to rebuild Mantou Cave.
The original name was unlucky, so in order to celebrate the New Year, he specially renamed the Mantou Cave as the New Year's Building, and also reached an agreement with Gu Zhizhou that he would no longer do anything illegal and unruly to disregard people's lives in the future, and take out 20% of the profits every year to honor the court.
It's just that in private, he plans to continue to sell weapons and armor to the family, which is a good business for the daily income.
"Little Marquis?"
There was a polite knock on the door outside.
Yuan Yu hid the account book and pretended to open a book of poems, "Please come in." β
He Yao came in with new boots, and when he saw him reading, he couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, "Little Hou Ye, am I disturbing you?" β
Yuan Yu noticed that she was wearing a new jacket and skirt.
The brand-new red jacket skirt, although there is still no gorgeous and complicated embroidery, is well-cut, lining the slender and straight posture of the Chinese New Year, and the ruddy face is delicate, like a pretty bird on the branch of the plum in winter.
He felt that their relationship should go further, so he said: "I always call my little marquis strange, why don't you change your name?" β
He Yao's face was red, and he said shyly: "That...... Then I'll call you Brother Yuan, okay? β
The little lady whispered softly, exuding a warm and soft smell in the study on a winter afternoon, like a drunken jujube that would be sweet to the heart when she took a bite.
Outside the study, He Meixiong, who came to eavesdrop, rolled his eyes to the sky, imitating He Yao's tone, and said in a strange manner: "'Brother Yuan', 'Brother Yuan', it's not disgusting!" Hmph, as soon as you leave, I'll go in and beat him up!" β
In the room, He Yao offered new boots like a baby, "I recently got a sum of money by chance, well, I specially bought new boots for Brother Yuan, you can see if you like it or not." β
Yuan Yu was stunned.
He touched his new boots, which were made of cowhide and inlaid with a thick and fine layer of cashmere fur, so that he would not freeze his feet in the cold winter.
He naturally loved the things he gave during the Chinese New Year, but he just ......
