Rebirth: Perfect Rural Life - Chapter 291
“Alas, Bai blinded me.” Fang ruxiu said with some frustration after Li Yulian left.
“Don’t be discouraged. Miss Li is a young lady. She must have prepared these things. The things she uses must be better than ours,” Fang Yizheng said.
“Impossible!” Fang ruxiu said, “I don’t believe she can buy more beautiful jewelry in the world than I do.”
“There are people outside, there are days outside!”
“You want to argue with me?”
“No, I’m just telling the truth.”
When Fang ruxiu heard Fang Yizheng’s words, she took an eye knife and dumped him, but he didn’t respond at all. Fang ruxiu could only sit on a stool and said stuffy, “anyway, she doesn’t use my jewelry. It’s her loss.”
“Maybe she just couldn’t bear it. You see what you’ve done is so beautiful. She’s not willing to use it.” Fang Yizheng finally comforted her when he saw that she was a little unhappy.
“Well, that’s reasonable. You said a human word.” Fang ruxiu smiled, and the sadness disappeared in an instant.
“Let’s go. Don’t be stunned in the flower hall. Go to practice martial arts and I’ll walk around the shop.” Fang ruxiu said and went outside. Fang Yizheng also stood up.
Just about to go to the front yard, Yu Shi, Ye Shi and Yin Yin came face to face. It turned out that they went to the street today. Unfortunately, Fang ruxiu had been busy with clothes today, so they didn’t call her when they went out.
After saying hello to the three, Fang ruxiu asked, “milk, mother, Yinyin, did you have fun going out today?”
“Happy.” Yinyin answered first.
“By the way, ruxiu, don’t you make clothes at home? How’s it going?” ye asked.
“Finished, but it has been given to her.” Fang ruxiu replied.
“Oh, you child, why don’t you show us.” Yu Shi also said angrily. Then they entered the house. Yinyin followed Fang ruxiu and played with her in the shop. Along the way, she chattered with Fang ruxiu and said a lot of things, some small things. She said them and even felt very interesting in Fang ruxiu’s ears.
Fang ruxiu listened with great interest. When she arrived at the shop, she still talked endlessly. She didn’t pause for a while because of politeness until the shopkeeper and staff in the shop greeted Fang ruxiu. However, when Fang ruxiu was alone, she talked endlessly again.
“Well, Yinyin, you’ve been talking for so long. It’s time to take a break?” went up the second floor. Fang ruxiu finally couldn’t help but let her sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
After drinking tea, Yinyin began to chatter again. She told Fang ruxiu everything she saw and heard on the street today. Fang ruxiu heard that although she wanted her to shut up, she finally endured it.
“Yinyin, I think…” Fang ruxiu finally couldn’t help but stop. At this time, Yinyin said, “I’m finished.”
Fang ruxiu breathed a sigh of relief and finally finished, “finished. Well, it’s wonderful. It’s hard for you.”
“It’s not hard, sister. It’s really a pity that you don’t have time to play in the street today, but it doesn’t matter. Yinyin told you what she saw today, which is equivalent to you having seen it.” Yinyin said seriously and drank a large cup of tea.
Er… After Fang ruxiu heard this, she was moved and a little embarrassed. Isn’t this what she said when she coaxed Yinyin to stay at home every time she went out on weekdays? I didn’t expect that in the end, it should work on myself. It’s really a mouthful of old blood. On the importance of example, however, she is a bad example.
After listening to a pile of trivial nonsense, Fang ruxiu said gratefully, “thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome.” Yin Yin smiled, revealing a line of white shell teeth, but unfortunately, there was a leak in the middle. It’s time for her to change her teeth. She refused to laugh and speak before. However, Fang ruxiu said that she was a fairy who changed her teeth, so she didn’t mind these. She was happy and didn’t care any more. What’s more, she studied medicine and knew that there was no need for Fang ruxiu to cheat more about the change of children’s teeth.
“By the way, Yinyin, go. You choose the same jewelry you like. Tomorrow we’ll wear it to Sister Li’s birthday party.”
“No, I have a lot to clean up.” Yinyin shook her head and said, “but you all gave gifts to Sister Li, but I didn’t.”
“Then think about what you’re going to give Sister Li.” Fang ruxiu said.
“I don’t know.” Yinyin couldn’t think of it. “I have too many toys. I like them. I don’t know which one to give her.”
Fang ruxiu said, “let me help you think about it. Didn’t you learn to weave the grass grasshopper with your grandmother before? Why don’t you make one for Sister Li as a gift? You made it yourself. The gift is light and the affection is heavy. It’s your intention.”
Yin Yin thought for a moment and said, “that’s a good suggestion. I’ll find some grass to weave now.” she said, and she went out in a hurry.
“Hey, be careful, don’t scratch your hand.” Fang ruxiu warned behind her.
“I see.” Yin Yin turned back to her and ran downstairs.
When Li Yulian’s birthday party the next day, everyone in the family prepared gifts for her. It’s rare to go to dinner. Everyone is well dressed and well decorated. After breakfast, they began to walk slowly to Li Yulian’s house. Before I got to the door, I saw that there was a lot of traffic at the door of Li’s house. Fang Yizheng handed the gifts and invitations to the master of ceremonies, and then entered the gate.
Li Yulian didn’t welcome guests outside, and even the servant girls around her didn’t see them. There were some unknown boys outside. They led Fang ruxiu to sit down on an open-air mat in the backyard garden.
The open-air banquet is very large. At a glance, there are about dozens of tables, all of which are long tables. They are divided into men and women. In the middle is an aisle paved with red carpet. In front of the banquet is a vermilion building.
The position of Fang ruxiu and others is near the front. Fang ruxiu sits with Yinyin, and Yu and ye are next to Fang ruxiu.
When the banquet started, Fang ruxiu saw Li Zhaoyan come over and say a few words. She didn’t see Li Yulian. The banquet was very rich. There were many dishes. Fang ruxiu didn’t count. In short, there were no less than 18 delicacies. After dinner, there were some fruits after dinner. Then, some singers and dancers came up to dance and play the piano, Fang ruxiu listened to the song and was happy.
Ye and Yu didn’t know so much. They only felt good and enjoyed listening. As for the guests behind, they whispered there and became a little uneasy.
Fang ruxiu looked up at the male guests opposite and found that there were still a lot of people. It’s strange that a girl’s birthday wouldn’t invite so many male guests. In particular, she didn’t see Li Yulian. It’s reasonable that she should show her face on her birthday. Beckoned a servant girl to ask. The servant girl smiled but said nothing. She would know later.
After another half ring, a man appeared on the small building. She was wearing bright red clothes, which was a bit like a wedding dress. Her makeup was also bride’s makeup. Fang Ru embroidered her eyes. It wasn’t Li Yulian.
“Jade Lotus!” Fang ruxiu wondered why she was dressed like this until Li Zhaoyan stood at the top and said, “as we all know, today is my daughter’s 17th birthday. I’m glad that everyone can enjoy celebrating for my daughter.”
As soon as he said this, there were words like honor among the guests. For a moment, Li Zhaoyan stretched out his hand, motioned everyone to shut up, and then said, “I’ve always had a worry in my heart. The so-called man should marry woman, and the little girl is seventeen this year. So I’m going to leave the marriage to Yuelao to decide.”
Fang ruxiu couldn’t understand what Li Zhaoyan meant when she heard this? What does he mean, he wants to choose a son-in-law? So Li Yulian is going to choose a husband today? Looking at her bridal dress today, no wonder she said she couldn’t wear the clothes and jewelry prepared for her by herself.
While Fang ruxiu was thinking about these, the stage began to boil again. Fang ruxiu looked up and saw Li Yulian take out an hydrangea.
Throwing Hydrangea to choose a husband? She has heard of this before, but she has never seen it. It’s too unreliable to throw Hydrangea to choose a husband, isn’t it? Now, what if you are caught by some beggars?
Looking around, Fang ruxiu finally put her eyes on the male guests opposite. She found that these male guests were dressed very well. Obviously, they were carefully selected. Only male guests who received invitations could enter. It was also like that. As written in the book, throwing Hydrangea, any poor scholar could enter. How could that be possible? But in that case, the problem comes. What is Fang Yizheng doing in the male guest?
“Brother, come here quickly.” Fang ruxiu waved to Fang Yizheng. They just came to the banquet, but they had nothing to do with Li Yulian’s husband selection. In Fang ruxiu’s opinion, Fang Yi is her eldest brother and Li Yulian is her friend. She has never thought about that aspect.
Fang Yizheng looked up at Li Yulian in the small building and suddenly heard Fang ruxiu’s voice. He quickly turned his head and saw Fang ruxiu waving to him and winking. For a moment, he didn’t know how to choose.
“Elder brother, come here quickly.” Fang ruxiu waved to him again, and Fang Yizheng passed.
“Elder brother, the jade lotus chooses her husband. Let’s just watch here.” Fang ruxiu pulls Fang Yizheng and stands beside her.
At this moment, someone has moved the table further away, and all the guests have stood up. The tables and chairs of the men in the first few rows serve as a boundary, while the tables and chairs of the women in the back are arranged in an arc in a row.
When Fang Yi was standing next to Fang ruxiu, Li Yulian upstairs was worried. She took the hydrangea and didn’t know how to deal with herself.
“Hey, ruxiu, let me have a look inside and have some fun. In case Miss Li throws the hydrangea on a bad man, I can help.” Fang Yizheng found a very bad reason.
“That’s all right.” Fang ruxiu nodded and said, “just brother, you must stare carefully. It’s about Yulian’s lifelong happiness. You should show her clearly. If some people look very uncomfortable and unreliable at a glance, you can use some means to make him unable to get the hydrangea.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll pay attention.” Fang Yizheng nodded.
