After the Republic of China

This day, the sky is clear and sunny.

Luo Congbai got the good life planned by the Lu family's elders, and he had another excuse to come to Shao Yunshi.

In the green courtyard, Shao Yunshi and Ximei sat under the wisteria flowers.

The two little sisters were holding picture albums in their hands and discussing in whispers.

Luo Congbai looked at this scene from a distance and felt that the years were peaceful.

His steps gradually slowed down because of emotion.

Shao Yunshi had sharp ears and heard the difference. He quickly raised his head and looked over, "Why are you stopping there? Come here quickly. There is freshly poured herbal tea here."

When Ximei heard this, she quickly raised her head. When she saw it was Master Luo, she asked happily: "How did the young lady know that Master Luo was here?"

Luo Congbai had already come to his senses and walked over quickly, "Your young lady has different ears than yours. Sister Ximei, don't you also exercise your body? Why don't you imitate Xiaodong?"

In fact, Luo Congbai wanted to say that he and Shao Yunshi had a close connection, but it was difficult for him to say this. Thinking about it if he said it in front of Ximei, he would feel ashamed.

Shao Yunshi didn't think much and said directly: "I recognized the sound of wooden footsteps as soon as I heard it. Even if Ximei is as good as Xiaodong, she may not be able to do it."

Luo Congbai, who was seated a few steps away, felt very sweet after hearing Shao Yunshi's casual words.

He knew that Gu Gu could definitely hear his footsteps, just like he could.

Ximei doesn’t understand these dog foods yet.

She consciously poured tea for Luo Congbai and said with a smile: "I can't keep up with that Nizi Xiaodong, but I am still very experienced in guarding the door. Miss, Master, I'm going to the door."

Looking at Ximei who ran away after saying that, Shao Yunshi glanced at Luo Congbai, "I blame you. Now even this girl Ximei has become bolder."

Now everyone in the Lu family who knows about the relationship between Luo Congbai and Shao Yunshi has congratulated in front of Shao Yunshi, and even Caihua and Mao Ya made fun of them.

As for Lingzhu, she didn't make fun of her, but once Luo Congbai came, she would push Shao Yunshi back to the courtyard, or she would find excuses to avoid it.

Luo Congbai can also feel the changes in the Lu family. He, the servants, the servants, the mother, the stewards, are all very polite when they see him now.

Knowing that his aunt was thin-skinned, even if Luo Congbai was happy, he only said "hey" twice, then changed the subject and said: "The date has been set, do you understand?"

Shao Yunshi endured the shame and nodded: "Well, it was grandma and mother who went to find the master in the temple to calculate the date."

Luo Congbai counted the days and felt that it would be better for him to have an adult come to his house, so he discussed: "Gu Gu, do you want to send a telegram to ask my father to come?"

Hearing this, Shao Yunshi was still a little moved. After all, when a man and a woman get married, how can the man's parents not be present?

But after thinking about it, she shook her head sensibly and said, "No need, isn't your classmate here? Just ask him to take the man's place."

Luo Congbai felt that this was not serious enough and was quite difficult.

Shao Yunshi knew what the wood was for, and she was sweet and distressed in her heart. She advised: "Don't think too much. For your work, it is not appropriate for our engagement ceremony to be held here or back to Yangzhou." Make it public. Therefore, there is no need for uncle to come."

This is true. Luo Congbai also understood Shao Yunshi's consideration, but he was still afraid of neglecting the Lu family, so he said uncertainly: "Should I ask the elders?"

"It's okay. Mom and grandma are busy buying things for the engagement. They don't expect uncle and the others to come." Shao Yunshi said hurriedly. Seeing that Shao Yunshi used the title of Suzhou freely, Luo Congbai knew that this matter was indeed not regrettable in her heart, and she felt much better.

Now that the matter was settled, he didn't mention it anymore. He just asked: "What should I prepare for the engagement? No, that's not it. What I want to say is, should the engagement form follow our Yangzhou rules, or Qingdao's? What are the rules?"

Shao Yunshi thought that they were doing it in a hurry this time, but it didn't need to be grand and would save someone trouble, so she said: "Now is a new era. There is no need to prepare anything, let alone follow any rules. When the time comes, we will just give each other a gift." Just a token.”

It's that simple? Luo Congbai shook his head hesitantly, "Don't say that the elders will be unhappy, even I can't treat you like this."

Shao Yunshi said cheerfully: "This is something we can't do in Qingdao. Besides, haven't we left it to our elders a long time ago such as Geng Tie?"

The most important thing in getting engaged is the exchange of Geng Tie. With this, everything will fall into place.

Luo Congbai laughed a little when he thought about their unusual engagement, "The Lu family left a copy of the Geng Tie, the Shao family also left a copy, and my parents also got a copy. We have to make three copies this time. If others have one more share, then they will have one more share of blessing, right?"

Seeing his silly look, Shao Yunshi rarely rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement.

The two decided on a plan. Luo Congbai didn't have time to spend at home anymore. He had to find a token for Shao Yunshi and talk to the bearded saint.

In one, if the matter here can be settled in time, he and Hu Hu must act separately.

Thinking about it this way, there are still many things to do.

Luo Congbai stood up hurriedly and said: "I have to go out for a while beforehand, so don't be too busy. Just embroider one of the earlier veils as a token of engagement. Don't be tired."

Speaking of tokens, Shao Yunshi hurriedly pulled out the red rope around her neck and took out the jade whistle that Luo Congbai had given her earlier.

This kind of behavior is actually indecent for a lady.

No, Luo Congbai blushed at her bold action and looked away.

His actions reminded Shao Yunshi, making her pretty face turn red.

However, knowing that someone was pressed for time, Shao Yunshi still held back her blush and pretended not to care: "Stop looking for tokens, just use this."

Luo Congbai looked at the jade whistle she brought up, suppressed the itching in his throat, and said with a smile: "How can we use this? This is our love token. Don't bother. I have already thought about the engagement token." ”

Seeing his certainty, Shao Yunshi asked curiously: "Is there any family heirloom that you haven't told me?"

Where is it? Luo Congbai glanced at her funny, "I picked up a piece of red sandalwood wood when I was on a mission earlier. That one is the best for carving things. I plan to get you a hairpin. What do you think?"

"You carve it yourself?"

"Of course." Luo Congbai said proudly.

Seeing his proud prototype, Shao Yunshi became more energetic, and pulled the person directly to the table. As he walked, he said: "Let's draw a picture, but don't break it for me, or I won't be able to spare you."

Luo Congbai still wanted to go out to do errands, but when she said it so arrogantly, he had no choice but to follow her.

Fortunately, Shao Yunshi suddenly remembered how someone was about to leave just now, and hurriedly stopped, "Are you in a hurry? If the task is urgent, let's discuss it later."

Luo Congbai thought that it wouldn't be too much trouble to draw a picture, so he couldn't bear to let the Master be disappointed and said hurriedly: "It's okay, I still have time to draw a picture."
