"Master!"
When Old Man Li heard Li Yuan's voice, he looked at her and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother Yuan is here!"
Li Yuan inexplicably felt that the old man did not have the above spirit, and thought that maybe her grandma had told him about her father, which shocked her.
In a peasant family, it is not easy to raise a child with a good reputation.
Usually the whole family contributes to the sacrifice.
Her father was the one the whole family had worked hard to support, and he was expected to pass the exam and embark on an official career.
However, just because you may have heard something you shouldn’t have heard, it’s gone forever.
In other words, the family's hopes were dashed in that instant.
In addition, they also have to bear the pain caused by the loss of a son, a husband, and a father.
If this was really the work of bandits, no matter how unwilling they were, they would still think that the bandits had been eliminated, which was equivalent to revenge.
But now I tell them that everything that happened before was false. The mastermind has not only survived for so many years, but has also lived so well. How can we make them willing to do so?
Li Yuan can understand, but she can't do anything now.
Her father was probably like her mother, and what he wanted most was to see the culprit beheaded in public.
But this is not possible at the moment, and it is not something she can control!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan just nodded towards the old man and then entered the kitchen.
From that day on, and for the next two days, the old house lost its usual joy, and the atmosphere was always depressed.
Until the tenth day of the lunar month, sisters Li Shu and Li Lin came back with their men and children.
After the two greeted the elders at the old house, they joined hands to find Li Yuan.
When she saw the person, she saw Li Shu taking out a handkerchief from her arms with an awkward look on her face. She didn't know what was wrapped in it, and stuffed it directly into Li Yuan's arms.
"Now, this is the makeup gift we both give you together."
Li Yuan is sitting in her room, making shoes for Xie Yanzhi.
Her grandmother said that originally this was to be given to the groom's elders on the second day of the wedding.
But because the Xie family had no elders, they gave up.
But as a man, Xie Yanzhi must have a pair of shoes made by her.
No, after she made a pair with extra processing, she said that good things come in pairs, so there was no reason to only give one pair.
There was no choice, she could only continue to make a pair.
No, when sisters Li Shu came over, she had just put the soles on her shoes.
At this time, Wang Can was sitting next to Li Yuan. She watched Li Yuan make shoes for Xie Yanzhi. For the wedding, the elders did not need her to do the work, so they followed suit and made shoes for Li Jun.
When she saw what Li Shu had stuffed over her, she looked at it curiously.
When Li Yuan opened it and saw a pair of plum blossom white earrings inside, she heard Li Lin say: "When I was a girl, you always said that plum blossoms complement you. You also said that you would collect all kinds of plum blossom jewelry in the future. My second sister and I I can't take charge of my husband's family, and the money on hand is limited. I didn't want to care about you at first, but later I saw that you still have a conscience and know that you are wrong. You also prepared red envelopes for the children early. After thinking about it, I let it go. There is no need for sisters to stay apart from each other forever, so a few days ago the silver shop in the county opened, so we bought a pair of these earrings together."
Li Yuan felt warm in her heart after hearing this. Although she didn't know what the red seals were for the children, she could probably guess from Wang Can's expression that she was trying to ease the relationship between sisters for them.
"It's very beautiful, I like it very much! Thank you, second sister and third sister, I hope you still remember my preferences."
She said, got up and walked towards the dowry placed not far from the bedside.
When she put the earrings into the wooden box on the dowry, she also took out the jewelry she had prepared for the sisters.
"Second sister and third sister, I bought this for you in Fucheng. I hope you like it!"
When Li Shu and Li Lin saw the pair of peony silver hairpins, their eyes lit up and they waved their hands repeatedly.
"No, as long as you have this intention, we accept it and take it back quickly. You are marrying a scholar, and you may even be admitted to the imperial examination. I have given you such a large dowry, but your dowry will be too small and you will be punished by others. Don't take it lightly. You can keep this pair of jewelry for yourself. Whatever we want, we will buy it ourselves in the future."
"Yes, sister, keep it for yourself, we don't want it!"
Seeing that their refusal was not a false rejection, Li Yuan stuffed one into each of their hands.
"I bought everything, what do I keep for myself? Brother Xie knows that these are specially bought for you. Also, the outside world only knows that I will keep my bride price when I go to the capital to buy a house, so you guys Keep it and don't spread it to others. I really don't lack jewelry. You gave me earrings, and I also gave me the companionship I prepared before. My aunt, Sister Su, also gave me some. I am really There’s nothing missing from these, so just take it with confidence.”
As she spoke, she took out a wooden box from the dowry.
"I bought the hair flowers here in Fucheng. You can give each of the children two bright ones. See if there are any suitable for your own use. If you have them, just take them. In addition, Caiwei can also do hairdressing now. She made a lot of flowers and silk flowers when she came back, and said she had prepared them for her cousins, and she should also give them to the children."
As she said that, she glanced at Wang Can, then stood up and took out a few red envelopes for the children from the space while going to the dowry.
"Can Niang gave it to me before, and I didn't pack much. Now what's here is given by Brother Xie and I as aunt and uncle. Originally, these were supposed to be home gifts, but I guess you will all return them by then. I’m home, so I’ll give it to you in advance.”
Sisters Li Shu and Li Lin never thought that they just came in advance to add makeup, but what they gave away was far from what they took back.
They looked at the brand-new peony silver hairpin and the tassels embellished underneath, and their hearts felt hot.
This silver hairpin, with its workmanship, costs several taels of silver for one piece.
It can be said that this is the most precious thing they have received in their lives, bar none.
The dowry given to them before they were born together would be more valuable than this, but not separately.
So the eldest sister is really thinking about it and really wants to reconcile with them.
Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to please them.
Thinking like this, the two of them asked in unison: "Brother-in-law really knows? Don't lie to me!"
"I know, so just take it with confidence!"
When the two sisters heard what she said, they accepted the silver hairpin with confidence. After receiving the red seal of "acknowledgment of relatives" from the children, they rejected other things by the way.
"Sister, you won't need the rest. This flower is not cheap. Since you said Caiwei made it for the children, you can keep these. If you give them away later, you can get them. We can I have accepted these shamelessly and cannot ask for anything else. If our mother finds out about this, she will definitely scold us to death!"
