There are beautiful girls in the hunter's house

Chapter 44
After lunch, it was still early, and the sun was high at this moment, so Zhou didn't let Lin Hongyuan and his daughter go home in a hurry. There were still vacant rooms in the left and right houses, and it was more than enough for Lin Hongyuan to sleep.

When they woke up from the afternoon nap, although the sun was still hot, it was not as bad as the afternoon sun. Lin Hongyuan and Lin Xiu, father and daughter, packed up their things, said goodbye to the Guo family, and left the gate of the Guo family.

The sun was still hot at the moment, and the father and daughter had not left for a long time, and their foreheads were covered with sweat. As soon as they got home, Lin Hongyuan fetched water and poured it into two basins.After washing his face well with cold water, Lin Hongyuan sighed comfortably.

He didn't wipe his face either, but wiped his face with his sleeve, "You stay at home, I'll go to the fields to do some work."

Lin Xiu responded, sent Lin Hongyuan out, closed the door, and then sat down under the tree, and continued to embroider the wedding dress with needles and threads.

After working for a while, Lin Wenhan came back with the bookcase on his back in the evening. Seeing that Lin Xiu was at home, he said happily, "Sister, why are you back? Didn't you say you want to stay for a few more days?"

Lin Xiu got up and took out a clean bowl, poured tea for him and said with a smile: "Today, the Xiong's family came to hire, and Father asked me to come back. How are you doing in the school? Can you still keep up?"

Lin Wenhan drank the herbal tea in one gulp, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and then said: "I can keep up. The Xiong family is here to hire you? Have you seen the bride price, sister? What's there?"

Lin Wenhan was very curious. Although he had seen the betrothal gifts of the two cousins, they were sent to others, not from others.

Lin Xiu said helplessly: "I haven't seen you yet, go and wash your face quickly, then change into clean clothes, and see if you sweat."

Lin Wenhan was wearing a light blue gown, and Lin Xiu had seen him wear it before. When he first put it on, he was still a young and handsome young man, but now he was sweating profusely, and his sleeves were high. The hair was pulled up to the elbows, and the well-combed bun was also a little messy. No matter how you look at it, it looks sloppy and messy. Just looking at the appearance, how can you believe that this is actually a scholar.

Lin Wenhan chuckled twice, and trotted back to his room to change clothes.

……

After changing clothes and coming out, Lin Wenhan washed and dried the clothes he had taken off, took a book and sat in the yard to read, and when the light dimmed, he helped Lin Xiu make dinner together.

After Lin Hongyuan came back, he washed his face first, and the siblings set out the dinner, and the family ate dinner in the yard.

After dinner, Lin Wenhan couldn't wait to see the dowry gift. Lin Hongyuan asked Lin Xiu, and seeing that she wanted to see it too, he led the two of them to look at the two small boxes containing the dowry gift.

By candlelight, the contents of the box can be seen at a glance.

Their place has been relatively poor since ancient times, so the betrothal gift is naturally not as generous as that of rich and noble families, usually it is just a few feet of cloth and some money.

But in the two small boxes that Sun Daniu picked up, there are three feet of cloth in six colors, two pairs of carved combs, a pair of small abacus, a pair of scissors, a wishful scale, a ruler, a mirror, and two copper coins. The two boxes are full of money.

Seeing the contents of the box clearly, the Lin family were all silent.

These betrothal gifts may not be as good as a piece of jewelry compared to a big family, but what kind of conditions they have, and what are their conditions, Xiong Qingshan is just a hunter, and he is willing to buy such a decent betrothal gift, even if he has always been concerned about this matter. Lin Wenhan, who was dissatisfied with his marriage, could not find anything wrong.

"Is this decent?" Lin Wenhan insisted.

Lin Hongyuan rubbed his hair with a smile, and said, "Now we are really short-handed."

With such a generous betrothal gift, who can have any opinion?This time, Lin Hongyuan was no longer dissatisfied with Xiong Qingshan.

——It wasn't that he was blinded by Qian Qian, but from the betrothal gift, he felt that Xiong Qingshan valued this marriage.

He was dissatisfied before, but he was only worried that he would wrong Lin Xiu after he got married. Although he didn't say he was completely relieved now, the dowry gift could reflect the man's view on the marriage.The betrothal gift is generous, so they are naturally very satisfied with this marriage. A husband's family who is willing to give the betrothal gift is more reassuring than a family who is not even willing to give the betrothal gift.

After reading the betrothal gift, Lin Hongyuan locked the box again, and went out of the house with his two sons and daughters.

Shocked by the betrothal gift, Lin Wenhan said nothing. He silently helped Lin Xiu clean up the dishes and went back to his room. Not long after, the father and daughter in the courtyard saw from the window that the lights Look at Lin Wenhan studying hard.

"You should also go to bed early, and embroider the wedding dress during the day, so as not to damage your eyes."

Lin Xiu nodded, said hello to Lin Hongyuan, and went back to her room.

Lin Hongyuan sat in the yard for a while, sighed facing the vast night, got up and went back to his room.

……

On the second day, Lin Xiu got up early to cook as usual. After dinner, Lin Wenhan went to school with his bookcase on his back, Lin Hongyuan went to work in the field, Lin Xiu hung his clothes to dry, then came out with a needlework dowry and sat under a tree Continue to embroider the wedding dress.

When she was young, she had heard that the wedding gowns worn by young ladies from rich families were all embroidered with phoenixes, and that wedding gown was embroidered by many embroiderers. Even if she wanted to, she would like to make one for herself Yes, but I don't have that time, so I have to make it simpler.

She also told Mrs. Zhou that peonies would be embroidered on the wedding dress, and cloud patterns would be embroidered on the cuffs and skirts.

She has only finished embroidering two peonies, and now she will continue to embroider peonies.

The area around Lin's house was relatively quiet, and no one passed by outside. Apart from the occasional sound of Lin Xiu cutting the embroidery thread with scissors, the only sound in the yard was the chirping of cicadas in the treetops.A gust of wind blew by, gently caressing the broken hair on Lin Xiu's cheeks. She sat under the tree, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, looking intently at the embroidery frame in her hand. With that gentle and virtuous look, she looked beyond the fence. His heart of stone also moved slightly.

Not far from the fence of the Lin family, Xiong Qingshan, who was wearing an indigo bunt, stood still.

Yesterday when Jinhua came back, he said to him: "Qingshan, don't worry, it's a good thing that you went to hunt this pair of geese on purpose. The Lin family was very satisfied when they saw the geese. It's a pity that Xiu'er is not at home. I don't know how she will react when she sees it."

Her words were filled with unconcealable regret, and Xiong Qingshan couldn't help but wonder, if he saw the pair of wild geese he was hunting, what expression would Lin Xiu have?Will he be proud, proud that she is the only little lady in the village who received wild geese as a dowry, or amazed, because he was able to hunt a pair of wild geese, and worship him for such a skill?
Xiong Qingshan couldn't help thinking about it for a day. At night, he was lying on the bed, but he still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He made a decision to go to the Lin's house to take a look at it tomorrow. He had to know Lin Xiu's reaction before he could sleep. Tangle again.
