Chapter 909 Gift
Gu Jinli smiled when he heard the chirping of birds, opened the window, looked at him with the cat under the window, and said, "What are you doing here so early? The hair ceremony will not start until Chenzheng, there is still an hour."
The Hairpin Ceremony and the Crowning Ceremony of Da Chu are usually held in the morning, and they should be held at the right time. Because her haircut ceremony was simple, and most of the people watching the ceremony lived in this house, she decided to do it at the right time.
Qin Sanlang stood up and looked at Gu Jinli, who was wearing an undershirt and with long hair. His face was a little red: "...I'm here to give you a gift."
"A gift?" Gu Jinli looked at his hand and saw that he was holding a long small box in his hand. He asked curiously: "What gift do you want to give me? Do you want to give it to me now? I thought you would wait until night to give it to me." Give me a gift."
Qin Sanlang held the box tightly and replied, "There will be gifts tonight, but I have to give this to you first."
Gu Jinli became even more curious after hearing this, so he took the box directly without giving it away, opened it and saw inside was a pearl hairpin wrapped with gold wire.
There are two pearls, and the color is very special, with a hint of red. This is: "Drunk Beauty."
Zui Meiren, the elegant name of red pearls, is the best among pearls.
Gu Jinli was shocked: "Where did you find it? You are so lucky. No one else can get one of these two finger-sized beauties with the same color in their lifetime."
Qin Sanlang was very happy when he saw that she liked it: "I picked more than a dozen of them last year. I chose the two best and roundest ones to make hairpins for you."
At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing: "I made the hairpin myself, and I also engraved it."
Although the work is not as exquisite as that of the Yinlou master, it is still done with his heart.
"Is it engraved?" Hearing this, Gu Jinli picked up the hairpin, then took the oil lamp in the room and looked at the pearl hairpin. After Qin Sanlang's prompt, he finally saw the engraved words on the pearl holder.
There are two characters for , one is the li character in her name, and the other is: "What's your name?"
Qin Sanlang nodded: "Yes."
His meaning was already obvious, so he became even more nervous and said to her cautiously: "Xiaoyu, use this hairpin as your hairpin, okay?"
Gu Jinli looked at him and smiled: "But my mother has already prepared the hairpin."
Qin Sanlang's heart skipped a beat. Did she...reject him?
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Ji shouted outside the house: "Xiao Boss, get up and take a shower quickly. You can't sleep in late today."
"I know, I'm getting dressed and will be out in a moment." Gu Jinli responded to Xiao Ji and looked back at Qin Sanlang: "You should go quickly, I have to make preparations."
Qin Sanlang stood still and looked at her like this, the pain in his eyes gathering together: "Xiaoyu..."
It was the first time Gu Jinli saw him like this, and he suddenly felt distressed. He quickly stood up on tiptoes, grabbed his clothes and said, "What are you thinking about? I accepted the hairpin, and there is also a gift for the evening. Remember to give it to me." .
After speaking, he loosened his clothes and closed the window with a bang.
Qin Sanlang did not leave immediately, but thought about what she had just said... He guessed correctly, she had no intention of letting him go, and she also promised to meet him in the evening.
The corners of his mouth slowly raised, a smile spread on his face, and he said to her through the window: "Get ready. I'll leave first and come back in the evening."
Gu Jinli wanted to cover his face and urged him: "Go quickly, my mother will be here soon."
After hearing this, Qin Sanlang said yes and left quickly without staying any longer.
Not long after he left, Ms. Cui came over with Gu Jinxiu and helped her burn incense and bathe.
This was the most serious bath Gu Jinli had ever taken. All the steps had strict requirements. If it weren't for the screen that prevented Ms. Cui and Gu Jinxiu from coming in, she would have lost her temper.
After taking a shower and washing her hair, she was almost starving and asked Cui, "Mom, where is my breakfast? I'm hungry."
Give it to the one who stutters. For this haircut ceremony, she started to eat vegetarian food three days ago, and she doesnt even know what meat tastes like. However, todays breakfast was even more serious. It was just a bowl of water with a piece of caramel in it.
Gu Jinli blinked and stared at the bowl of water as if he were glaring at an enemy: "Mom, our family isn't bankrupt, is it? Is there still food?"
Added another sentence: "It was wrong of me to complain about not having meat to eat two days ago. I was wrong. Now I feel that being vegetarian is not bad."
So give me a vegetarian diet, I dont mind it anymore, dont give me water for breakfast!
Mrs. Cui said: "No, before the ceremony is over, the hairpinner cannot eat and must drink sweet water. This is the rule."
Gu Jinli had no choice but to drink the water. It was better to have some water than none.
Muttered something in her heart: If she had known she was drinking water today, she should have asked Brother Qin to sneak something for her to eat.
Mrs. Cui waited for her to finish drinking the water, then took the bowl away, while Gu Jinxiu brought a futon, placed it on the ground to the east, and greeted her: "Xiaoyu, come here and sit down on your knees. You can get up when the guests of honor arrive."
Gu Jinli was reluctant, and was urged by Mrs. Cui: "Don't be angry, hurry up and kneel down, mother is going to welcome the guests."
After saying that, she was still not at ease, so she asked Xiaoji to keep an eye on her and not allow her to get up halfway, and she had to kneel down.
Gu Jinli took the opportunity to "threaten": "You can kneel down, but you have to use this hairpin."
She gave Cui the pearl hairpin that Qin Sanlang gave her.
Mrs. Cui was shocked when she saw it: "Here, where did you get such an expensive hairpin?"
This is a pearl hairpin, or a red pearl. Such a good thing cannot be obtained casually.
Gu Jinli: "Brother Qin gave it to me."
With one sentence, Ms. Cui was overjoyed and immediately agreed: "If it's done, use this hairpin to make a hairpin. This kid, Sanlang, is really kind to you, so you should cherish the blessing."
Gu Jinli was unconvinced: "I'm also very good to Brother Qin. I don't know how much I love him."
"Just make a grilled fish for someone, how good can it be?" Ms. Cui laughed at her and said, "Okay, you can kneel down. Mom and your sister are leaving first, but you must not get up. This is a major event that affects the rest of your life."
Gu Jinli knew that Dachu people believed this, so in order to reassure Cui, she could only agree: "I understand, mother, please leave quickly."
After Mrs. Cui and the others left, she knelt in the room for most of an hour until Mrs. Jiang came.
Then came the very complicated process of hair-raising ceremony. Gu Jinli was so confused by the various etiquettes of hair-raising ceremony that his previous curiosity turned into anger!
It was obviously her birthday, why was she so tired?
Fortunately, whenever she was almost unable to bear it any longer, Qin Sanlang would gesture to her to ask her to continue to endure it.
The moment the pearl hairpin was placed on her bun, she turned to look at Qin Sanlang who was watching the ceremony, and saw the joyful and dazzling smile on his face.
Perhaps he smiled so well that she couldn't help but smile back at him. He was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and his smile became brighter.
In the years when she was walking in the snow and welcoming the flowers, he was by her side in every transformation she made. This feeling... was so good.
The ceremony is completed!
With the ceremony, Gu Jinli changed from a girl with a bun to a real young girl.
She was very happy, finally... she could go to eat, she was so hungry!
Qin Sanlang was even happier than she was, because his little fish finally grew up.
