The family had settled down in all aspects. On this day, Butler Nie sent a letter saying that County Magistrate Qi had found a private school for Lin Sihu. Ye Chuqiu took Lin Sihu to the county seat.
She asked Lin Erhu to go to the city with her and buy a carriage for her family. In order to create a chance for him to get along with Wantong, she went to find Wantong and said, "Wantong, we are going to the county seat today, you come with us
Let’s go together and buy you something by the way.”
"Auntie, you have been good enough to me. I don't need anything here." Wantong said quickly.
"I'm going to go shopping in the city and there are some things I need. Let's go." Ye Chuqiu invited again, but Wantong didn't refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.
She followed Ye Chuqiu out and when she saw Lin Erhu waiting there, she blushed again.
She still doesn't know that this taciturn and honest man is Ye Chuqiu's second son and most likely her future husband.
Although she had admitted the wrong person before, she was a very traditional person. In fact, there was no need for Ye Chuqiu to think about so many twists and turns to match them up. In her opinion, she had already lived in the Lin family, and she would not be able to marry her in the future.
Even if you don’t marry him, who can you marry?
Although Wantong has lived in the Lin family for a few days, in the past few days, except for doing housework with Zhao Hehua in the morning and helping to take care of Qiaoer, she spent the rest of the time quietly in the study.
Reading, so she didn't spend much time meeting Lin Erhu.
Therefore, when the two of them were walking together, the atmosphere was really awkward.
But what was even more embarrassing was yet to come. After entering the city, Ye Chuqiu wanted to take Lin Sihu to the county government office to find Qi Chongjin, so he asked Lin Erhu to take Wantong alone to go shopping on the street.
"Erhu, mother will give you an extra ten taels of silver. You can use this money to buy something for Wantong." Before leaving, Ye Chuqiu not only handed him the money, but also warned: "Mother is not with you, but you must
You need to take good care of Wantong and don't bully her, you know?"
"I got it, mother." Lin Erhu responded, his face became hot and his ears were red.
The same goes for Wantong on the side. Although it was a bit awkward along the way, at least Ye Chuqiu and Lin Sihu were still there. Now they are left alone, which is...
Her face was full of shame and embarrassment, but the one who was more embarrassed than her was Lin Erhu. He looked at Wantong and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
He glanced at her several times and murmured for a long time, but he didn't say a word. In the end, Wantong said, "Second brother, where should we go now?"
"You can go wherever you want." Lin Erhu blurted out.
"I don't have anywhere I want to go."
"Then let's go shopping on this street. Mom said she wanted to buy you something. What do you like?" Lin Erhu glanced at her secretly, and then quickly looked ahead again.
"I don't have anything to buy." Wan Tong shook his head and said, "I told my aunt a long time ago that everything is fine in the Lin family and I don't lack anything."
"But mother told me, I want to buy you something." Lin Erhu turned his head, looked at her pretending to be generous, and said: "I see you have such a plain head, otherwise I will buy you a hairpin."
?”
"No, no, no, that's too expensive." Wantong shook his head quickly.
"It's okay. Mom already gave me the money. If I don't buy it, she will definitely scold me when we meet later." Lin Erhu said this, but he didn't hear Wantong's reply, so he decided happily.
The two of them went to the Silver Building together. The store clerk was used to seeing such young people. As soon as Lin Erhu explained his purpose, he immediately brought out things for the two of them to choose from. Lin Erhu turned to look at Wantong and said, "See if there is anything you like here."
Is it? If not, let’s look at something else.”
"Yes, girl, we have a lot of hairpins. If you don't like this one, I'll get you another one." The shop assistant on the side also said something clever.
"That's it."
Wantong chose a hairpin that she thought was the plainest. It was a silver plain hairpin with only a slight moire pattern on it. It was not like other hairpins that were gilded with blue dots and inlaid with jade. This hairpin looked like
It's very simple and should be cheap.
"Okay, let's take this one. How much does it cost?"
Lin Erhu was also stupid. He just thought that Wantong had already chosen the hairpin and didn't ask any more questions.
"This girl has good taste. This hairpin is very simple and elegant. It will look very good when it is inserted on the girl's head." The waiter in the shop said as he took a small scale to weigh the hairpin. "The hairpin weighs one, two or six yuan, and the craftsmanship fee is
Four coins, you can just give me two taels of silver."
"Second brother, this is too expensive."
Wantong said quickly, she didn't expect a random hairpin to be so expensive.
"It's not expensive. This silver hairpin can be used as silver tweed. Our shop will only charge some crafting fees." The waiter said quickly.
"Here, here you go."
Lin Erhu paid the money happily, and the shop clerk handed the hairpin to Wantong, and took out a butterfly-shaped tie from in front of him, "Here, I give this tie to you, and I wish you a long life together."
After hearing this, Lin Erhu's face became hot again, but he said, "You man, don't talk nonsense, don't ruin my sister's reputation, we are not married yet."
"Yes, yes, the little one said the wrong thing."
The shop assistant smiled and apologized, but Wan Tong's face was already red. What nonsense was he talking about? What did he mean by not getting married yet? Could it be that she had to get married to him?
Thinking like this, Wantong glanced at Lin Erhu angrily. Lin Erhu couldn't help being fascinated by her when he saw her look in her eyes. This girl's eyes were full of autumn water at the moment, and her cheeks were as bright as clouds. She seemed angry but not angry.
The look made him forget everything at once, and even his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
"Gone."
Seeing his stupid look, Wan Tong was ashamed and annoyed, so she couldn't help but remind him loudly. Only then did Lin Erhu come to his senses and said, "Okay."
Next, they went to a clothing store. Although Wantong was thin, she was still beautiful. She entered the store and fell in love with a set of goose-yellow dresses. After putting them on, she really looked like an oriole fairy in the mountains.
, it became even more difficult for Lin Erhu to take his eyes away.
"That's it." He couldn't help but say, helping her decide on this set.
If it were before this, he would definitely not go overboard, but he thought this set of clothes looked really good on her, and he felt a little ashamed next to her.
"Okay, let's do this then."
Wan Tong obviously liked this too. After hearing Lin Erhu's words, she also nodded with the waiter. When she was changing her clothes, Lin Erhu couldn't help but think of the pork seller's daughter who had briefly made his heart flutter.
, thinking about it now, her appearance was completely blurred, and was replaced by this Wantong whom she had just met not long ago.
She didn't talk much, but her every move and smile was so charming, and even her voice sounded like the sound of nature to his ears.
It's really strange. I didn't feel this way before, but why do I feel everything is different after I went out with her today?
Seeing her open the curtain and come out, smiling at him, he subconsciously smiled honestly, but in an instant, he heard his own heartbeat.
