After Qi Mao left, Du Yu and Xue Bufang coaxed people, but Hu Miaomiao was still listless and wanted to go back immediately.
"Miss Hu, please wait a moment, I owe you ten taels of silver."
Hu Miaomiao took the silver and said with a pale expression, "Ah! I didn't bring out the jade pendant!"
So, Hu Miaomiao asked the two of them to wait for a while, and then he went home to get the jade pendant.
Du Yu smiled slightly and told her not to worry, "Miss Hu, I have a lot of jade pendants, and I don't need any of them. And my friend likes Longquan Sword very much, so the jade pendant should be considered as extra money."
"How about that?" Hu Miaomiao didn't want to take other people's things for no reason.
"It doesn't matter. If we meet again by chance, you can just return it to me."
At this time, Xue Bufang agreed: "Yes, we have other things to do, and it's really not convenient to wait."
Hu Miaomiao felt sorry and returned the ten taels of silver to Du Yu.
This time, Du Yu did not delay, and accepted it calmly, saying with a smile: "Miss Hu, see you soon."
"Oh, okay..."
Hu Miaomiao waved to them and left.
After she left, Xue Bufang looked at his friend teasingly and asked, "Have you fallen in love with her?"
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so brave!"
"Yes, that little girl is indeed beautiful and has a good temperament. I'm very moved."
Du Yu rolled her eyes at him and joked: "What, you want to steal someone from me?"
Xue Bufang smiled, hiding all those romantic thoughts in his heart, "That won't happen, how can I dare to be an enemy of Brother Du?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, still looking like good brothers.
Du Yu said: "Let's go, I'm going to visit my aunt's house later."
On the other side, after Hu Miaomiao returned home, she was still in a very low mood and completely lost her mind.
When Mrs. Hu saw her, she asked confusedly: "Miaomiao, what's wrong with you? Have you cried?"
"No……"
Hu Miaomiao lowered her head, looking unhappy.
"Did you and Brother Mao quarrel?" Mrs. Hu guessed right and sighed: "You are not young anymore. You are about to get married, so stop being so petty."
When Hu Miaomiao heard this, she felt even more aggrieved. She wanted to say that she didn't want to get married, but she didn't know how to say it, so she responded dully.
"Mom, I'm going to make a purse, so I won't tell you anymore."
"Okay, then you go." Just as Mrs. Hu asked her to leave, she suddenly stopped, "Miaomiao, a cousin of yours will come to visit later, you should meet him too."
Hu Miaomiao agreed and went back listlessly.
In the room, she looked at the purse that had not been sewn, and felt so wronged that she couldn't help crying.
She is really useless, she can't even sew a purse, and she is completely incomparable with Li Waner's female celebrity.
Thinking so, Hu Miaomiao silently sewed her purse. After all, if she didn't find something to do, she would have random thoughts and drive herself crazy sooner or later.
Half an hour passed, and Hu Miaomiao had stopped crying. Perhaps her tears had dried up long ago.
Looking at the sewn but still ugly purse, Hu Miaomiao was even more sad, but this time she didn't want to dismantle it and redo it. Anyway, no matter how much she sewed, she couldn't compare to Li Waner.
Moreover, Qi Mao may not like it, and maybe she won't wear it. After all, she doesn't even like it, let alone others.
"Miss, madam is here," the maid said.
"What's up?"
"He said that one of your cousins is here and wants you to meet him too."
Hu Miaomiao remembered that her mother had said such a thing, so she put down her purse, and when she just went out, she met someone head-on.
"Master Du?"
"Miss Hu?"
The two looked at each other, both stunned.
Mrs. Hu looked at the two of them and asked with a smile: "Have you met them before?"
"Mom, he is the one who bought the Longquan Sword."
"Oh? What a coincidence!" Mrs. Hu smiled gently, feeling that they were quite destined, and immediately introduced the two of them.
It turned out that Du Yu was from Fuzhou and was Hu Miaomiao's cousin, but he had been studying abroad since he was a child, and this was his first visit.
However, he was also here at the request of his mother, so it was an unexpected surprise to meet Hu Miaomiao.
Seeing that they were able to chat, Mrs. Hu was very happy and said, "Miaomiao, please talk to your cousin."
In fact, Mrs. Hu had other ideas. Her nephew was very talented and well-read poetry. He had a bright future. It would be great if he could see eye-to-eye with her daughter.
Of course, she also likes Qi Mao very much and thinks that he is down-to-earth and hard-working, but his background is a bit low and his appearance is not good.
Mrs. Hu also knew that emotional matters should not be forced, but it was not impossible to try, so she left first and let them talk for a while.
Hu Miaomiao was a little confused. She didn't expect Du Yu to be her cousin, and she cried in front of him. It was embarrassing to think about it.
"Cousin, you are polite."
Du Yu smiled softly, not expecting Hu Miaomiao to be his cousin, and felt that the whole world was helping him.
"Cousin, you are polite too." Hu Miaomiao hurriedly returned the greeting, her face turned red, she really is more delicate than a flower.
Immediately, Du Yu presented a few books and said with a smile: "I heard that my cousin loves to read. I have a few treasured story books, so I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha."
Hu Miaomiao really liked the storybook, so she took it happily, with a smile as bright as a flower, "Cousin, thank you, I like reading the storybook the most."
"Oh? I also like to read story books, why don't we read them together?"
"ah……"
