Chapter 79 : Girl’s First Love
She stroked the hairpin carefully, and suddenly felt that there was something rough about it, as if it had words engraved on it.
Xiao Lanlan quickly found this place and moved closer to the candlelight. Only then could she see the word engraved on it clearly. It turned out to be the word “Lan.”
Her name is Lanlan, so the meaning of this hairpin is self-evident.
In an instant, Xiao Lanlan’s heart beat like a drum, and it couldn’t stop for a long time. She was surprised and uneasy, but the surprise was greater than the uneasiness.
Is Mr. Su expressing his feelings to her?
The man was unmarried, and the woman was unmarried, but he gave her a hairpin for no reason and even engraved her name on it. It was hard not to think too much.
However, at this time, Xiao Lanlan’s depression caused by being annoyed by Old Lady Wang was indeed dispelled a lot.
Su Yanqing was equally uneasy. He was very nervous all the way. After returning to Zeng’s house, he was already lying on the bed, but he was still tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
He was being presumptuous in giving this hairpin today, and he didn’t know what Miss Xiao was thinking. Would she think he was being frivolous?
The main reason was that he had engraved someone else’s name on the hairpin on his own initiative. If Miss Xiao got it wrong, it would really damage his image in her heart.
There are two people who can’t sleep tonight, that’s destined.

The next morning, Xiao Lanlan got up very early, but she was humming a song and looked very happy. It seemed that the unhappiness of yesterday had disappeared.
But apart from Xiao Yi, no one knew that Xiao Lanlan had received Su Yanqing’s hairpin.
Originally, it was Mother Xiao’s turn to go to town today, but Xiao Lanlan insisted on going first. She asked Mother Xiao to continue to rest at home while she would go to town to set up the stall.
It just so happened that Mother Xiao had to deal with the newly harvested sweet potatoes at home. Since Xiao Lanlan wanted to go, she could go.
Finally, Xiao Lanlan got what she wanted. She sat on the ox cart with Jiang Sui and told her the story quietly.
She now regards Jiang Sui as her best friend, not just her sister-in-law, and only tells her any little secrets.
When Jiang Sui learned about this, she showed a look of surprise and excitement.
She could see that the two of them were in love, but she didn’t expect that Master Su would be so proactive. Not only did he give her the hairpin, he also engraved her name on it to express his love. Isn’t that too brave?
Seeing Jiang Sui’s expression, Xiao Lanlan covered her face in embarrassment.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that. It’s embarrassing.”
Jiang Sui gently pinched her waist, causing Xiao Lanlan to laugh.
“Sister-in-law, stop making trouble.”
“I was wondering why you have been crying and laughing these past two days. It turns out that you have fallen in love for the first time and have a lover? There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, Master Su is handsome and gentle, and he is easy to attract girls. You are no exception. Besides, you two have a mutual affection for each other, and it’s not a one-sided love. Our Lanlan is beautiful, virtuous, and capable, so it’s no wonder that Mr. Su is attracted to you.”
Jiang Sui’s words were so blunt that Xiao Lanlan’s face turned red.
“Fourth sister-in-law, please don’t say that.”
Seeing her so embarrassed, Jiang Sui was so happy.
“But, my fate is to bring bad luck to my husband, and our two families are not well matched, so I dare not have any extravagant demands on him.”
She didn’t let Jiang Sui say it, but she couldn’t help but bring it up. It was really contradictory.
Jiang Sui does not believe in fate, let alone the theory of fate, strange powers, or gods, which are all nonsense.
But in the feudal ancient times, people were particularly concerned about this, and this would indeed become a gap that was difficult to cross, including within the family.
The Xiao family is now incomparable to the Su family, but this is only temporary. If Xiao Hechuan soars to the sky in the future, the gap in family background will not be a problem. But can their relationship stand the test of time? After all, there are still three years before the next imperial examination.
“That’s all fake, don’t listen to it, don’t believe it. If someone misses you, it’s someone else’s loss. Why confine yourself to a prison and add unnecessary troubles?”
Jiang Sui doesn’t know how to comfort her, no matter how nice the words are, they are not as practical as the actions. Just take it one step at a time, and you will get through every difficulty.
Xiao Hechuan, who was driving with Xiao Yi in front, suddenly turned around. He saw his wife and Lan Lan were whispering to each other with their heads close together.
He frowned unhappily and complained in his heart.
My wife is such a badass. She never tells me anything she has to say, and only tells Lanlan every time.
Arriving in the town, Xiao Lanlan and Jiang Sui were preparing to open the market, but Lanlan’s eyes were always looking towards the street corner, as if she was waiting for someone.
At the town gate, Su Yanqing was already sitting in a carriage, with a special servants to see him off.
Mr. Zeng did not follow him to Jeju Prefecture this time, but only accompanied him to the town gate.
“Are you really not going to take another look? Maybe Miss Xiao is there!”
Mr. Zeng could see Su Yanqing’s hesitation, but he didn’t know what was wrong with this guy.
Su Yanqing still didn’t admit it:
“Uncle , please don’t speculate. Why did you mention Miss Xiao for no reason?” He looked away.
“Okay, if you don’t admit it, it’s no wonder you don’t have a wife. Never mind, just leave now. I can finally have some peace and quiet.” Mr. Zeng put his hands behind his back and yawned.
‘I have been taking care of his daily life for the past two months and I haven’t had a good sleep. Now I can finally go back to sleep.’
Su Yanqing glanced at the gate of Baima Town, and finally told the coachman to drive away.
He didn’t dare to think about how he would look at others if his actions offended them when they met again.
Until the sun was high in the sky, Xiao Lanlan still hadn’t waited for the person she wanted to wait for. It was inevitable that she felt disappointed, but life had to go on.
—
In the following days, the Xiao family’s business was doing steadily, and no one dared to have any ideas or targets against them. Xiao’s hot and sour noodles had become the most popular stall in Baima Town.
Five days later, Boss He was released and finally behaved himself.
This prison in Baima Town is really not a place for people to stay. The weather is hot and stuffy, and the food is terrible. In the past five days, he has developed prickly heat, lice, and lost weight.
If he had known that scheming against others would cost so much, he would never have done it even if he was beaten to death.
He really believed in this bullshit. This Xiao’s just conflicts with him.
The weather was terrible, with no sign of rain. The crops in the fields were dying of thirst, the water was almost dry, and the ground was cracking. Many village chiefs came to the pavilion chief one after another, asking him to organize a rain-praying event.
At that time, every household donated some money, bought offerings for the heaven, and everyone beat drums together to pray to the gods for rain.
They still remember that the last time it didn’t rain for several months in a row was more than ten years ago. Whenever there was a severe drought, every town would hold rain-praying activities to pray for rain from heaven to moisten all things on earth.
