Embroidering the wedding dress is a big thing, and there is a small thing, that is, the two sides have to exchange tokens on the day of Nacai, mostly with jade pendants as letters, or what is the token handed down.

In addition to tokens, the woman also has to send small things such as shoes or socks.

It is also a kind of token.

In fact, embroidery girls and maids can do it, but Yan Mingqiao wants to come by herself, the shoes are more difficult, the socks are simple, and it is enough to make two pairs.

As for the size, that side will naturally tell.

Yan Mingqiao can't remember what the second sister and the third sister did when they got married. But at that time, she was still studying, and she only went to the wedding banquet, and she didn't know that there were any other things, even if she gave something, she didn't know.

Since Gu Yan is willing to pinch snowballs and peel chestnuts for her, she is also willing to make two pairs of socks.

Just like she made socks for her mother, grandmother, and two sisters, it was for those close to her.

Yan Mingqiao remembered that Gu Yan likes pines and cypresses, so there are exactly two pairs of socks, a pair of embroidered pine branches and a pair of embroidered cypress branches, there are still more than two months before the sixth day of the first lunar month, and Yan Mingqiao has time to do these.

Gu Yan should like it.

For Gu Yan, let alone something that Yan Mingqiao made herself, even if she said it casually, she would take it to heart.

Gu Yan was in the academy, except for a period of time every day when he would look out the window in a daze, most of the time he was endorsed by Wen Shu.

It's cold in winter, and the students don't want to go outside, and these people who are preparing to take the exam are all studying in the school, and at this time the gentleman doesn't know how to lecture, and he doesn't know how to ask himself.

The students are of different ages, Gu Yan is sixteen years old in this house, the youngest is him, and there are all ages in the other rooms, and they have all passed the exam, such as Yan Mingze and others.

Gu Yan can't be regarded as ignoring things outside the window now, because he will be distracted, he will think of the half hour he walked in the snow that day, think about the clothes Yan Mingqiao wore that day, hide in his hat, and look into his eyes from time to time, when he thinks about this, his heart will be flustered, and he doesn't know what to do.

Read a few pages to calm down.

Occasionally, I think about silver catkins, and then I think that the name given by Ming Buckwheat is really good.

Thinking about Yinqiao having a horse brother, I think that Ming Qiao is so cute, and he even has to give a name, and it is also Ming Qiao who reads a lot and can give such a name.

He can only come up with the big white.

I don't know when the rabbit will be able to meet the horse of Yinsu, they are brothers, and they are probably waiting for him to marry Ming Qiao.

The house sent a message to him, saying that it was the sixth day of the first month, and the proposal would have to wait for the examination after the examination, and if it was successful, it was estimated that it would have to wait for the palace examination, which was late April.

It's been a slow day.

Gu Yan looked at the snow slowly melting outside the window, even if it couldn't be two years after the marriage, at least it would be the end of the month. As long as there is a holiday, Ming Qiao will come to see the rabbit, and he will be able to take the opportunity to see Ming Qiao.

Gu Yan counted the days, today is the twenty-two, the twenty-eighth holiday, and Ming Qiao doesn't know when it will come, and there are five or six days.

I don't know if Gu Mian helped him speak......

As long as he doesn't study, Gu Yan has these things in his head, and these words can only be thought about, not said to others, but for him, thinking about it is enough to be happy.

Get what you want, no wonder there will be four happy events in life.

Really, it's nice just to think about it, and if that day comes, I'll be happy.

But the days go by day by day.

Finally, at the end of the month, there were still people in the academy who did not go home and were ready to leave Wen Shu. And Gu Yan packed up early in the morning, and as soon as it was time for class to get out of class at noon, he immediately put on his back, went out of the academy, and looked for the carriage of the Taifu Mansion.

The way back is also very slow, the cold wind is whistling outside, but when you get home, you have to go to the main courtyard to greet Chen's after you go home, and then follow the family to have lunch.

After eating, my sister-in-law took my nephew and little niece back to the yard, Gu Yan hadn't left yet, he wanted to ask his sister something, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

He wanted to ask Ming Qiao if he was coming in the past two days, if not, let Gu Mian give the next post. I also want to ask if Ming Qiao has come to see Yinwu this time, but have you ever mentioned him.

Gu Mian could also see it, but she didn't say it, she made her brother anxious, and seeing Gu Yan anxious, she felt particularly interesting. I can't wait to draw it down, and then show it to Ming Qiao.

Gu Mian said deliberately: "Third brother, you just came back from the academy, and you have eaten and drunk water, why don't you go back to the courtyard to read your books?" ”

Gu Yan: "I ......"

Gu Mian couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you have something to ask your mother, don't worry, your mother will definitely agree to you." ”

Gu Yan couldn't say anything now, took a deep breath and said, "I forgot what it was, I'll ask you when I think about it." Mother and sister, I'll go back first. ”

Seeing her son like this, Chen covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, and she said to her daughter, "Okay, don't tease your brother." ”

Gu Mian said: "Oh, I suddenly wanted to come, tomorrow morning, Mingqiao said to come here to see rabbits, she hasn't been here for half a month, it's really a coincidence." ”

Gu Yan coughed, "Thank you, sister." ”

Gu Mian snorted, Ming Qiao came, she was also happy.

Chen said: "You haven't decided on a marriage yet, you should all get along as usual." But after all, this is the first time Ming Qiao has come to Taifu's Mansion after we met, and the house should also be cleaned up, at least let Ming Qiao see that we pay attention to it. By the way, isn't Brother Yuan a little naughty? ”

Brother Yuan is the eldest son of the eldest son of the Gu family, named Gu Yuan, when he was born, the fortune teller said that he was short of water, so he gave this name. I'm eight years old this year, and I'm on vacation from the academy, so it's time to be naughty.

Chen thought that if he went out, he would give some silver, and if he didn't go out, he would take a good bath and change into festive clothes, so as to save himself from seeing inappropriateness.

Yun's Chen was still relieved, and also told her about the dowry.

There is more silver on the dowry mansion, and that is also because life has been better than before in the past few years, and Gu Yan has also helped the family, so the Yun family has no opinion.

But for the Yun family, there is a brother and daughter-in-law who can handle everything, if she doesn't mind at all, it is impossible, the mother-in-law is satisfied with Ming Qiao everywhere, and the sister-in-law is too, if she really marries in the future, she, as a sister-in-law, will bow her head in everything.

But life is always for herself, she has also seen Ming Qiao, not an eventful person, just looking at the sister-in-law, she has made a lot of money over the years, and everyone is looking forward, so the Yun family is willing to make concessions on this.

Friendship and friendship, natural choice friendship.

Gu Yan nodded, "Just clean up my yard by myself." ”

Gu Mian said: "Then my yard also has to be cleaned up, my house has already seen it." ”

Chen said: "It's because I have seen it that I have to clean it up, and those messy gadgets should be received in the cabinet as soon as possible." Choose Wuxiangju for dim sum, Yufangzhai's dim sum Ming buckwheat always goes to us to take it, and I guess I have eaten it. Let's eat with Mianmian at noon, so as to save her embarrassment. Come back after the marriage, and let's have a formal meal. ”

Gu Yan was a little disappointed, but his mother was more thoughtful, and he was even more afraid that Mingqiao would not come in the future.

This is winter, if it is summer, Chen will definitely let the stall maid wash the horse too, and the rabbit, Ming Qiao will always hug it for a while, and he has to scrub his four paws clean.

In this way, the Taifu Mansion has been busy all afternoon, and the house has finally taken on a new look, especially Gu Mian's house, she has a lot of things, there are many dolls on the bed and table, and many things are placed very casually, this time everything that should be put away is put away, this house, as if no one has lived there,

Gu Mian stayed inside, a little scared, this was too unlike her house.

Yan Mingqiao didn't think that the Gu family would be like this, she felt that she hadn't decided on a marriage yet, but she just went to the Taifu Mansion to have a look, and it was the same as usual, after all, she had been there many times before, and she had also been there when Gu Yan was on vacation.

The Shen family who should have told him had already told him, and he hadn't been empty-handed when Yan Mingqiao went before, and this time he brought two boxes of Yufangzhai's snacks as usual.

She actually wanted to see Gu Yan a little, the rabbit she pinched was already out of shape, it was hard to see that it was a rabbit, but it was still in the yard, and she would go to see it every day.

Shen felt that it was not rude to bring snacks, so he prepared a beautiful dress for his daughter, and the next morning, Yan Mingqiao took a carriage to Taifu's mansion.

The car is squeaking, the snow that fell half a month ago has melted away, and the street is not deserted, but it is far less lively than when autumn first begins.

On the way to Taifu's Mansion, Yan Mingqiao also saw the shop that sold fried chestnuts with sugar, but she didn't stop to buy it, she just thought that Taifu's Mansion would prepare.

When I arrived at Taifu's Mansion, I didn't need to be polite, Gu Mian's maid was already waiting, "Little lady Yan, my girl got up early in the morning, just waiting for you." ”

Yan Mingqiao nodded, she felt that the Taifu Mansion was a little different, and she couldn't tell what was different. first went to the main courtyard to give Chen's gift, and Yan Mingqiao went to Gu Mian's courtyard at this time.

This road was walked several times, and it was not until she entered the house that Yan Mingqiao understood, "Mianmian, what about your dolls, don't you want them?" ”

Gu Mian's room was not at all the same as usual, the dressing table was clean, and the bronze mirror seemed to have been wiped, brighter than before. The same is true on the bed, the quilt is neatly folded, placed next to the pillow against the wall, there is not a single doll on the bed, and the bed curtain is hung well.

There are snacks and fried chestnuts on the table, as well as apples and grapefruits, and even the four chairs are placed in a regular manner, and from a distance, the gap between the chairs is the same.

The floor tiles are freshly polished, and there is still water vapor, and the stove has three of them, and the charcoal inside can be seen from the hollow iron sheet that is buckled, and the windows are open with small cracks, although there is a cold wind coming in, but it is not cold, just like a spring day.

There is also a hot water basin, probably because I am afraid that the charcoal fire will roast, and the house will be too dry.

Yan Mingqiao stood at the door of the inner room, not daring to get down.

Why is it so neat?

She looked at Gu Mian and tilted her head suspiciously.

Gu Mian pushed the person in, "Don't worry, the doll is still there, and I didn't throw it away." It was my mother who said it was too messy in the house, and asked me to clean it up, how do you see it? ”

Yan Mingqiao nodded while looking at it, "It's really good." ”

The blanket on the couch was also changed, Gu Mian poured tea and handed it to Yan Mingqiao, "Hey, hey, it's good." ”

Yan Mingqiao probably understood, and for her to come, Gu Mian deliberately cleaned up the house. And when she came over, she felt that Taifu Mansion was different from usual, not because the snow had melted.

It was also deliberately cleaned up.

Yan Mingqiao felt a trace of warmth in her heart, and this kind of cautious treatment made her feel comfortable. This is not just Gu Mian's friend, is it ......

Gu Mian was praised, and he let out a breath, "It's really in vain that I started cleaning up yesterday, I took a bath last night, don't you smell fragrant." ”

Yan Mingqiao sniffed carefully, "Fragrant." ”

This should be what my aunt meant, I don't know what Gu Yan is like today. The rabbit is not here with Gu Mian, and Gu Yan should send it over in a while.

The two were thinking of going together, and Gu Mian said, "Do you want to see rabbits?" Silver floc seems to be fat again! ”

Yan Mingqiao nodded, and Gu Mian said to the maid, "You go to my brother's place and ask him to send the rabbit over." ”

Even though it's a rabbit, I won't let the little guy come.

Yan Mingqiao sighed lightly and waited for the rabbit to come over.

Gu Mian asked Yan Mingqiao to eat fruits, there were not many others in Taifu's Mansion, there were many fruits, and when Yan Mingqiao left in the afternoon, he would definitely take some with him.

After a while, before the chestnuts had eaten a few, Gu Yan came over with a rabbit cage, and looked at the cage from a distance with a little red inside, and he didn't know what it was.

Gu Yan was holding a rabbit in his left hand and a wooden box in his right hand, and when he arrived, he saluted, "Miss Yan." ”

Yan Mingqiao hurriedly got up, "I've seen Gu Gongzi." ”

Gu Mian was nervous by these two people, "What about the rabbit, show us the rabbit." ”

Gu Yan put the box on the table, the cage was placed on the ground, and as soon as the cage door opened, the rabbit was about to run out, but Gu Yan held it down with one finger.

Gu Yan said to Yan Mingqiao: "You try to shout its name." ”

Yan Mingqiao shouted Yinwu, although the rabbit didn't move, but her ears moved, she shouted again, and Yinqiao ran towards her on four legs. It looked white and pure, wearing a red robe on its body, and the piece on its back was embroidered with the word Fu, which looked extremely festive.

Gu Yan walked over and fed it with cabbage leaves, "I tried, but I only reacted to the name, but I guess I didn't know that this was its name, but I just thought that I could eat it when I heard this." ”

Yan Mingqiao reached out and hugged the silver catkins to her lap, this heavy, she still remembered that when she first saw it, she was still thin.

Gu Mian said that Yinxu was fat, which is true.

She looked at the silver eyes and claws again, and the eyes were not tear-stained, like rubies, and the four paws were clean, even the nails were cut.

Yan Mingqiao smiled, "You give me cabbage, let me try." ”
