Chapter 748 - 749: Li Shan’s Visit
"Madam, how about wearing this hairpin?"
"A pomegranate flower? It does suit the season, but it’s too heavy and tiring to wear. Choose a simpler one." This pomegranate flower hairpin was part of the dowry Ms.Wang had prepared for her. She had bought it two years ago in town. She remembered buying two sets, one for her and one for Yunyun. The people at the shop, upon hearing that Ms.Wang was preparing dowries for her daughters, suggested they get solid ones.
They said, in case something happened in the future, the solid hairpins could be used as silver. Upon hearing this, Ms. Wang agreed and had an entire set of pomegranate flower accessories made solid. They were beautiful, but not very practical.
"What about this one?" It was a jade hairpin. She didn’t like wearing jade jewelry; being in the countryside, there were many chances it could be damaged. If it broke, it would be a waste of money, which would be a pity.
"No, just choose a plain silver one. Don’t we have some plain silver ones with pearls?"
As she spoke, Xiu’er was about to bring over her large jewelry box. Ye Zi’an, who was watching, said, "Wait, no need for that."
He then instructed Mingcui, who had just arrived at the door, "Go find Li Wen and ask him to bring up the box I’ve brought back."
"You brought me something?"
Ye Zi’an nodded with a smile, "Yes, the things in the prefecture are much nicer than those in our county town."
In a short while, Li Wen brought up the box, and Ye Zi’an opened it to reveal two smaller boxes within.
"This would suit Madam’s hairstyle much better today." Yang Chuxia saw that he held two silver hairpins with coral flowers, with small coral blossoms above silver tassels.
When tucked into her hair, the long tassels hung down to her ears, swaying gracefully and looking delicate and refined.
There were also matching coral earrings with silver chains; the touch of red above her earlobes made her look playful and bright.
"Madam looks so beautiful!"
"Our young master really knows what suits Madam best."
"Madam indeed looks beautiful"
The maids each praised her, and Yang Chuxia also loved the set of accessories, smiling and saying, "Your young master knows me best."
After the maids left, Yang Chuxia hugged Ye Zi’an’s neck and lightly pecked his handsome face, "Thank you, my lord!"
Ye Zi’an, however, was slightly unhappy, "Madam’s enthusiasm is poorly timed. If you had shown it a few moments earlier, it would have been like adding fuel to the fire."
"Hahaha" Knowing he was referring to the incident just now, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud, pinching Ye Zi’an’s handsome face, "My lord, you’re so cute."
Seeing her laugh made the tassels on her head sway non-stop, making her face even more radiant. A smile also appeared at the corner of Ye Zi’an’s mouth.
"Let’s go, we’ll go to my mother’s and have breakfast." As they descended the stairs, Yang Chuxia added, "You haven’t met my parents yet, let’s go there first."
"I actually came from there last night. Mother said you were at home." Ye Zi’an smiled, "But she also said that we should all go there for a meal today."
"What are we waiting for? Let’s go."
When they arrived at the Yang Family residence, Ms.Wang had personally prepared breakfast, and was delighted to see the couple. Yang Dachuan pulled Ye Zi’an aside to ask about his exams, as he hadn’t had a chance to ask last night.
Old Yang listened attentively on the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
After breakfast, Yang Dachuan wanted to ask Yang Chuxia about the sugarcane at home, but a servant came to report that Young Master Li Li Shan was visiting.
"What on earth does he want?"
"Why don’t we go find out?"
