Although An Youde was extremely reluctant, he stopped at the thought of being wronged in September.
Although he was anxious to marry someone back home, he didn't want to wrong her. He could wait for as long as he wanted.
After Xia Qiyue saw off the patriarch and his wife, they began to think about it. Since they were engaged and my sister was willing, she had to start preparing for the dowry. Seeing An Youde's behavior, I really can't wait, sister.
You are now sixteen, you can get married, and it is considered a quite satisfactory age to get married here.
When a country girl marries her daughter, the most she can do as a dowry is a bunch of silver earrings, or if the conditions are better, she can buy a pair of silver bracelets or hairpins.
What's even better is that someone who loves their daughter will bring a pair of wooden boxes as a dowry, and then a handkerchief and purse embroidered by the bride herself, because when she gets married, she needs to give gifts to her husband's sisters.
She called her sister-in-law and served tea. Each person was given a purse or handkerchief, which also depended on the family. If the family was well-off, silk handkerchiefs could be used, and if the family was not well-off, it would be pure cotton handkerchiefs.
But Xia Qiyue couldn't send her sister away like this. Now that she was rich and her sister was also very good, the dowry she wanted to give couldn't be just this.
But there was no time, and she had no time to prepare anything. She was going to the capital the next day to attend the opening ceremony of Pei Heng's candy house, so Xia Qiyue locked the door early and entered the space to prepare gifts.
After looking around the warehouse, she decided on two and chose one from the two.
They are juicers and ice machines respectively.
There are several juicers and ice machines in the space, and she only uses one, so the others are placed in the space.
She chose again and again, and felt that the ice machine was a bit mysterious. When I took it out and used it, people couldn't figure out the principle, and it felt a bit magical.
Finally, I chose a juicer, a hand-cranked juicer. It can be used when taken out. It does not require electricity and is hand-cranked. She can only control it with her thoughts in space without hand-cranking. When she takes it out, she has to hand-crank it, but the squeeze
The juice is really delicious.
After everything was prepared and the juicer was packed, Xia Qiyue finished her work and took the space to go to sleep.
There were four maids around each of the two children, so she felt relieved as she no longer had to get up in the middle of the night to see them and sleep all night.
I got up early the next day and went to the capital today. It was the first time I really went to the capital after escaping from the famine, so I took the two children with me. I originally wanted to take Xia Xinghe with me, but they didn't want to go.
, it would be nice for him to read two more books during this time.
Xia Qiyue doesn't force it, it's a good thing that he likes to study, so just go with him.
So he took along his servants, two maids, two children each, and a coachman, and set off.
After leaving early to attend the opening of the candy store, I could still go shopping in the capital, just in time to show my sister her trousseau.
She had thought about buying a set of furniture for her sister, including a bed, a dressing table, and a wardrobe.
But the wood needs to be chosen well. We already have the craftsmen, but now we just need the wood.
Since Carpenter Gao finished building the children's paradise, he has not had much work to do, so he and his wife can come forward to pay for the dowry.
Next comes the fabric for the wedding dress and embroidery. It is only this time for a woman to get married, and she wants the best for her sister.
The third item is jewelry. Although I usually buy one or two for her when I have the opportunity, how can I get through it without one or two sets of trousers as a dowry?
Along the way, Ke'er was extremely excited and chattering, sometimes clinging to her mother to tell her stories, and sometimes clinging to her aunt to play with her.
Compared to Ke'er's noisiness, Xuan'er was much quieter. From time to time he would open the curtain and look outside, his little eyes barely able to see enough.
"Mom, when we arrive in the capital soon, will you take me to the largest jewelry store in the capital?" Ke'er's little head raised from her aunt's hand and looked at Xia Qiyue.
Xia Qiyue was amused that such a young child actually knew how to go to the best jewelry store. She asked curiously, "Why should Ke'er go to the biggest jewelry store?"
Kerr answered without thinking, "Keer wants to buy a gift for my aunt!"
Recently, I discovered that Ke'er can speak very fluently. Although sometimes her expressions are not good enough, there is no obstacle in speaking.
"Well...why did Ke'er buy a gift for my aunt?" Xia Qiyue continued to ask, and Xia Qiyue was already extremely moved.
Ke'er glanced at her brother, and then answered the question before Xuan'er had time to stop him.
"Because my brother is already making gifts for my aunt with his own hands, and Ke'er also wants to give her a gift. Ke'er can't lose to her brother."
Xuan'er felt frustrated. This sister was really serious. He had warned her not to say anything, but she still said it.
While making him powerless, he decided that it would be better not to let his sister know the secret, because her sister couldn't bear the secret.
Xia Jiuyue was even more moved and touched the heads of the two little guys, "My two eldest nephews are so sensible. My aunt likes you so much!"
But Ke'er frowned: "Auntie, do you like Ke'er more or do you like your brother more?"
"Of course I like both of them!" How could an adult like Xia Jiuyue fall into her trap?
But Ke'er acted like a donkey and shook his head crazily, "No, no, my aunt must like Ke'er the most, and then my brother!"
Xia Qiyue nodded Ke'er's head, "You! Don't grab everything from your brother. How can you be so stingy? You two are brothers and sisters. You should help each other and share the blessings together!"
Ke'er's little brain didn't even know what it meant to share hardships and share blessings, but she understood and pouted as they helped each other.
"It's because brothers don't help each other!"
The two sisters Xia Qiyue were confused. One of the two little guys was usually busy studying and the other was busy cooking. There should be no contradiction. How could Ke'er be so open to her brother?
After asking, I found out that Ke'er didn't want to go to the school anymore. After being caught by Xuan'er, she dragged him to the school.
Ke'er protested that her mother asked her to cultivate herself, but Xuan'er didn't listen and kept her in the school all afternoon yesterday afternoon.
Ke'er was furious. She had planned to go to the kitchen with Mei Niang in the afternoon and learn how to cook, but her brother ruined everything and made her sit in the school all afternoon. The Master also asked her
She couldn't answer the question without answering it, and she was taught by the master for a while.
"Just because of this, you hate your brother?" Xia Qiyue's expression changed, and she asked Ke'er seriously and scaryly.
"Mom, my brother is good and bad, Ke'er, stop playing with him!" Ke'er was still immersed in her own world, complaining about how bad Xuan'er's behavior was.
"An Qingke!"
But before she could finish complaining, Xia Qiyue's stern call by her first and last name reached her ears.
This kind of sound that was so cold that it made her fight was something she had never heard before. This not only scared Kerr, but also shocked Xuaner who was super innocent and reluctant to argue with her sister.
