Chapter 714: Be open and honest if you like it
Jiayin took her veil and ran to show off to her elder brother.
“Brother, look, my sister Wan’er’s craftsmanship is so good!”
Jiaren's face turned slightly red, he looked at it carefully, and finally laughed.
They say words are like people, but in fact, a lot of things can be seen in a woman's needlework.
For example, a person with an impatient personality cannot sew such a smooth and fine stitch...
Seeing this, Wan'er couldn't help but blush even more and lowered her head slightly.
Mrs. Li planned to strike while the iron was hot and quickly winked at her little granddaughter.
I understood the good news instantly and started organizing immediately.
“Sister Wan’er, all the flowers are blooming in my greenhouse, and there are a lot of fruits. Come and have a look with me, okay?”
After saying that, she took Wan'er and stood up.
Brother Li and Brother Cat also jumped up and pulled Xing Ning.
“Let’s go, brother, when my fourth uncle was killing barbarians in the north, he captured a pony for my sister. It’s very beautiful!”
“Yes, let’s go, let’s take you to see it! You can try riding it twice!”
As long as you are a kid, there is no one who doesn’t like riding horses.
Xing Ning had no time to think about her sister, so she was dragged away by them in a daze.
So, Jiayin took her brother with one hand and Xing Waner with the other, and happily went to the greenhouse.
The Li family doesn't have many servants, and the backyard is even quieter.
Go through the corner door and enter the greenhouse behind Ye's house.
The cold wind is howling outside, but inside the greenhouse it is as warm as spring, with the fragrance of flowers everywhere and abundant fruits.
Wan'er was still a little shy, but she was also attracted by these flowers and fruits, and couldn't help being surprised and happy.
Jiayin released the little fox from the space, pushed his brother, and pretended to run to catch the little fox.
The little fox was jumping and biting grapes when it was suddenly being chased around by its owner. It was still a little dazed.
It blinked its small black bean-like eyes, not understanding what was happening...
On the other side, Jiaren, holding back his panic, was explaining the origins of those flowers and fruits to Wan'er in a gentle voice.
Among them, some were found by family members from Quanzhou.
This topic naturally gradually transitioned to the customs and customs in Quanzhou and the vastness of the sea.
Although Wan'er is a woman, she is also well-read on weekdays, and her favorite is the travel notes on mountains and rivers.
For a moment, she was fascinated by what she heard and couldn't help but say, "It would be great if I could go and see it with my own eyes."
Jiaren responded smoothly: "Okay, I will take you there later!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and both blushed.
Jiaren is a man after all. He coughed twice, straightened his face, and bravely said what he wanted to say.
“Miss Wan’er, I know that our family intends to marry your family, and my elders also like you very much.
"But I went to Quanzhou to study before, and I didn't have the chance to get to know you, and you didn't have the chance to see me twice. It would be too hasty to get engaged and get married like this."
“If you find that we are not suitable for each other in the future, but we still have to be tied together for the rest of our lives and become a couple, it will ruin your life and mine.
"So, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you what you think. Can we move around more and get along more in the name of family for half a year?"
“If we feel that we have the same interests, then it’s our destiny.
“If we are not suitable for each other, half a year will not delay each other in continuing to find marriage, what do you think?”
Wan'er was a little surprised when she heard that. She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were clear and his expression was very magnanimous and solemn.
She felt at ease in her heart, and there was a bit of novelty in her heart.
As a woman, she obeys her father at home, her husband when married, and her son after her husband's death.
It seems like you have to obey arrangements all your life and have no right to choose. But the man in front of her gave her the respect she had never had before, and gave her the right to test him, observe him, and choose him...
“Okay!” She responded immediately and laughed sincerely.
Jiaren was dazzled by this smile and started laughing too.
He thought for a while, took off the glove on his right hand, showed Wan'er his injured hand, briefly talked about the time when his fingers were bitten off by a wolf when he was escaping from famine, and then said: "I am practicing calligraphy on my left hand now. An injured hand will not delay the scientific examination, but I still want you to know.
“Besides, I am the grandson of the Li family, and I will support the Li family in the future. The girl who marries me will be the director of the family, and she will have to be filial to her elders and protect her younger siblings with me. It will definitely be very tiring..."
Wan'er didn't know whether she was stunned by Jiaren's injured hand, or she was too satisfied with Jiaren, so she blurted out, "I am also the director of the family at home, I am used to it..."
After saying that, she remembered that she seemed to be in a hurry to enter Li's house, so her face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly pretended to appreciate the flowers, refusing to raise her head.
Jiayin hugged the little fox and eavesdropped on the side, laughing so hard that his stomach knotted up.
At this moment, she hurriedly came to the rescue.
Otherwise, she is really afraid that her eldest brother and future sister-in-law will blush so much that they will steam themselves!
“Sister Wan’er, do you have any flowers you like? I’ll give you two pots and take them home to display, so that the New Year will be lively and joyful.”
After saying that, she stuffed another basket to her eldest brother, "Brother, Sister Wan'er likes to eat grapes. You go pick a basket and bring it back to Sister Wan'er later."
Jiaren rubbed his sister's hair and turned to pick grapes.
After the grapes were picked, Xing Waner also chose two pots of azaleas in full bloom, which were lively and festive, not expensive and easy to take care of.
Jiaren glanced at her and became even more fond of this girl.
Know how to advance and retreat, know how to measure!
These two points alone are already commendable!
Soon, the three of them returned to the front yard.
Wan'er chatted with Mrs. Li and Zhao Yuru for a while, then went to Wen's house to sit and give New Year's gifts.
At this time, Xing Ning's face was flushed with excitement, and she followed Brother Li and Brother Cat back.
Just now, he not only helped brush and feed the horse, but also rode the pony for a few laps. He was so happy that he went crazy.
Xing Waner then said goodbye and took the car to go home.
As soon as the carriage left the village entrance, Brother Li and Brother Cat hugged the eldest brother's arm, urging him to ask questions like monkeys.
“Brother, how are you? What did you say to Sister Wan’er? Do you want to get engaged?”
“Will she be our sister-in-law from now on?”
Jiaren knocked two chestnuts from his brother, then went back to the house with a blushing face.
Brother Li and Brother Cat were disappointed, but when they saw their sister, their eyes lit up again...
Jiayin sat on the sedan carried by his two brothers and returned to the main room proudly. Then he vividly talked about the conversation between his eldest brother and his sister Wan'er.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they thought about the shy appearance of the two young children.
Old Mrs. Li agreed with her eldest grandson's approach and said: "It's best for Jiaren to be upright and aboveboard. Although his hand injury will not delay his life and scientific examination, he must always tell the girl in advance.
“Also, he is the eldest brother. There are so many younger brothers and sisters. Whoever marries him will have to worry about following him in the future.”
Brother Cat quickly said: "We don't let the elder brother and sister-in-law worry. We can also help the elder sister-in-law keep an eye on the elder brother and prevent him from being seduced by the vixen."
"Oh, this kid is looking for a fight! Why did he come back after learning such words after going out for a trip!" Zhao Yuru raised her hand to scare her nephew, causing the cat brother to rush over and hug her like a baby.
Brother Cat is the youngest, and when his mother left, he was still ignorant.
In the past few years, Zhao Yuru, the third aunt, has taken care of him by eating, drinking, dressing and loving him in every way.
He treats his third aunt as if he were his own mother. He is really better than his younger sister in the ability to act coquettishly and make trouble.
Everyone couldn't help laughing, said a few words and then went about their business.
