Inside the house, hearing Gu Yi’s words, the corners of Song Wan Yue’s mouth twitched, Gu Yi was trying to change her pair of beaded flowers a day.
“Look.”
Gu Yi entered the room and opened the box, “I had the embroiderer make you clothes to wear for the New Year, these beaded flowers and clothes are matching.”
Song Wangyue wanted to hold her forehead, in just these two months of work, Gu Yi had already had the embroiderer make her twenty to thirty sets of clothes, even the cloak had more than ten pieces.
“Young Master Gu ……”
Song Wangyue had just said half a sentence when the door was pushed open.
Song San Xiao came in with a playful smile and looked into the open box, each pair of beaded flowers was paired with something different, there were pearls, small jadeite and jade beads that glittered.
Song Sanxiao was impressed, thinking that whichever pair Qiying wore would look great.
“Third Uncle, something wrong?”
Naturally, Song Sanxiao did not dare to say that he wanted a pair of beaded flowers for Qi Ying, “No, I was just curious, what precious beaded flowers did Young Master Gu give you?”
After saying that, he took another look before turning around and going out.
Song Wangyue pointed to the two boxes on the table and continued what she had just said, “I have too many beaded flowers, you can’t stop buying them for me.”
“It’s okay, my father has plenty of silver.”
Gu Yi sat down beside her, put the boxes on the table and took out a pair of beaded flowers and compared them to her head.
“It’s not the money, it’s that I have too many beaded flowers, I change them one a day, these can’t be changed once in two months, it’s too wasteful.”
Gu Yi didn’t think anything of it, if the little girl wasn’t still young, he wouldn’t have just bought beaded flowers.
“Yi’er.”
Xu shouted from outside.
Gu Yi immediately stood up and moved to the edge of the bed to sit down, just as he sat down, Xu pushed the door in, with some robes on her arm, “Come and try on the clothes your aunt made for you, do they fit?”
“Yes, they will fit.”
Gu Yi smiled and immediately took off his own robe and put one of them on, “Auntie’s workmanship is excellent, since I’ve worn the clothes you made I don’t want to wear the ones made by the embroiderers in the house.”
Knowing that he was coaxing himself, Xu was still very happy and her words were all tinged with laughter, “I have made four pieces for you, take them back and wear them first, I will make them for you again after the New Year.”
“Thank you, auntie.”
“You’re still polite with your auntie mother.”
Said the man, placing the other three pieces on the bed, “Try them on first, and give your aunt a word later if they don’t fit.”
“Okay.”
Xu went out and Gu Yi tried the rest of the three pieces on for real, and couldn’t help but praise them again, “Auntie mother’s work is just fine, how comfortable it is to wear.”
Song Wangyue,……
When eating, Song San Xiao was unusually attentive, kept giving Gu Yi dishes, after eating, even pulled Gu Yi to his house, closed the door, lowered his voice, rubbed his hands, “Yi’er ah, third uncle begged you something.”
“Third Uncle, please speak.”
After Song San Xiao glanced outside, uneasy, he went to the door again, put his ear to the door, to make sure there was no one outside his house door, then came back, “This is something that Third Uncle will only tell you alone, you must not tell anyone, especially Yue’er, otherwise Third Uncle will not treat you well in the future.”
Gu Yi nodded solemnly, “Third Uncle rest assured.”
“I have a crush on a girl and I want to buy her a piece of jewellery to please her, but as you know, Third Uncle is poor and only has about thirty coins on him, so how can he afford to buy jewellery? I was wondering if you could quietly give me a pair of beaded flowers, and I’ll go and give them to the girl.”
“Uncle San has a girl he likes?”
Gu Yi was excited.
Song San Xiao immediately broke out in a cold sweat and panicked, going to cover his mouth, “Ancestor, keep your voice down.”
Gu Yi nodded, and only then did Song Sanxiao slowly let him go, and glanced outside to make sure no one was there, and his scared heart fell back.
“What kind of beaded flowers does third uncle want, I’ll bring them to you when I come to pay my respects.”
“Just similar to the ones in Yue’er’s box.”
“No problem, I have plenty at home, I’ll bring you a few more pairs when I come, you can choose.”
Song Sanxiao was overjoyed, “Thank you in advance, Uncle San. Remember, don’t tell anyone, not even Yue’er.”
“I know, I know. Third Uncle wants to give the family a surprise when the girl agrees.”
“Still you are smart.”
At Song San Xiao’s perverse behaviour, Song Wan Yue was aware of it, and when Gu Yi had gone to her house, she asked, “What’s up with Third Uncle?”
“Nothing, just wants to have a chat with me.”
Song Wan Yue looked at him and Gu Yi blinked, then blinked again.
Whenever he made that move, he was lying, and Song Wan Yue raised her eyebrows, “Really?”
“True, more true than the pearls on your beaded flowers.”
Thinking that it was no big deal for Song San Xiao to find him, Song Wan Yue didn’t ask again, and Gu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The following day, the New Year’s Eve, the family worked all day, and after eating dumplings in the evening, they started the vigil.
In previous years, although there were peanuts and melon seeds on the table, the family could only spare a little for the family to eat and save the rest for the New Year’s visitors. This year was different, as there was plenty to prepare, so the family could eat as much as they wanted.
The house was warmed by a charcoal pot and the family was laughing and joking, but Song Sanxiao was alone, thinking about something and giggling from time to time.
Liu Cui Lan saw it first and poked Song Shu’s arm to let him see it.
The crowd all looked over.
Song Sanxiao immediately withdrew his smile and sat up straighter, his tone sorrowful, “I don’t have anything to think about, my mother won’t even give me my New Year’s money in the morning.”
“Are you ashamed? How old are you, still thinking about the New Year’s Eve money?”
“I’m not even married yet, and if I’m not married, I’m a child, so I should get my share of the money.”
“Here are ten coins for you.”
Grandma Song said with a smile.
The crowd burst out laughing.
Song San Xiao half lay back down again, not knowing what came to mind, he suddenly sat up again, “How about we bet a few games?”
The laughter stopped instantly, and the room was silent for a while, as Grandma Song picked up the chicken feather duster on the table and hit it, “Say that again.”
“Mother, no, no, I didn’t mean that bet ……”
Song San Xiao’s hands and feet were busy dodging.
“Which bet won’t work either, I have to beat you to remember today.”
Song San Xiao received two blows and screamed, jumping off the bed without having time to put on his shoes, holding his head and running outside.
“Tidy up ruthlessly.”
Song Shu was adding fuel to the fire, “Gambling” is not something you can get involved in, if you do, you will lose your family’s money and even your life.
“Maybe Third Uncle really didn’t mean gambling, he doesn’t even go to the gambling house, so why would he think about gambling, he should have meant something else.”
Song Wangyue said.
“Is that so?”
Song Wan Yue nodded, “Why don’t we call Third Uncle in and ask him properly.”
“Old Third!”
Song San Xiao cowered as he walked to the door of the house and stood there, not daring to come in.
“Say, what do you mean by betting?”
Grandma Song asked. Inside the house, hearing Gu Yi’s words, the corners of Song Wan Yue’s mouth twitched, Gu Yi was trying to give her a pair of beaded flowers a day.
“You see.”
Gu Yi entered the room and opened the box, “I had the embroiderer make you clothes to wear for the New Year, these beaded flowers and clothes all match.”
Song Wangyue wanted to hold her forehead, in just these two months of work, Gu Yi had already had the embroiderer make her twenty to thirty sets of clothes, even the cloak had more than ten pieces.
