Chapter 427: Reward for the Brave Girl

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kang Zheng and Wen Lu didn’t know many people in the village, so they only invited the few people they were familiar with.

Because they worked together often, they spoke much more casually.

After the men ate and drank, they chatted.

Because Li Xiaoqing and Zhao Sisi still had to go to the shop tomorrow, they went back early to rest.

Qin Cui and Zhao Xiu tidied up the kitchen together. The two of them were familiar with each other in the past, so they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Li Xiaoran thought of something and pulled Wen Lu to a quiet place. Then, she handed her a wooden box.

“I originally wanted to use it as your dowry, but I was too busy previously and forgot. Today, I’ll treat it as a congratulatory gift for you and Kang Zheng’s marriage!”

Wen Lu didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to give her a gift as well. One had to know that Luo Cheng had already given her a generous gift today.

“How can that be?!” Wen Luo said hesitantly, “Brother Luo Cheng just brought a bunch of congratulatory gifts over!”

“How can I accept it? He gave you and Kang Zheng a congratulatory gift, but this is my congratulatory gift to you,” Li Xiaoran explained with a smile.

Since Li Xiaoran had said so, Wen Lu accepted it generously.

“Open it and see if you like it!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile. When Wen Lu heard this, she opened the wooden box.

Wen Lu was stunned when she saw what was inside.

In the wooden box, there was a ruby necklace.

Under the light of the fire, the ruby emitted a dazzling light.

“Isn’t this too expensive?” Wen Lu asked.

“Marriage should be every girl’s happiest moment in her life. Wen Lu, although your parents have already gone to heaven, their love for you won’t disappear. Every parent wants their children to be safe and happy for the rest of their lives. I accidentally picked up this ruby necklace by the river in the deep mountains when I went out to play. Later, I handed the ruby to my mother and asked her to help me make this necklace!” Li Xiaoran explained the source of this gemstone necklace.

With that, Li Xiaoran reached out and took out the necklace from the wooden box before putting it around Wen Lu’s neck.

“Girls should be the most beautiful bride on the day of our marriage! You too! As long as you keep facing life so optimistically, you will definitely have the happiness that other girls have! Your future life will definitely be as bright as this ruby necklace. This is my blessing to you!”

When Wen Lu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her eyes turned red.

Yes, what other girls had, she might not have.

But she also had what other girls might not have.

“Thank you. At this moment, I feel lucky! The heavens gave me a lot of misfortune, but also gave me a lot of blessings! Thank you, Xiaoran!”

“Silly, what you have now is the best reward from the heavens! Therefore, after you get married, you have to be as brave as before!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Wen Lu nodded and remembered Li Xiaoran’s kindness.

No matter what happened in the future, no matter how difficult things were, as long as Wen Lu took out this ruby necklace, she would be filled with boundless courage.

Because she knew that she should be brave, because only by being brave could everything be possible!

That night, when everyone was done chatting, they helped tidy up. Then, they left Kang Zheng and Wen Lu alone in the bridal chamber.

On the way back, Luo Cheng suddenly held Li Xiaoran’s hand tightly.

“What’s wrong?” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in surprise.

“Your hands are cold, so I’ll warm them for you!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran laughed when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

If he wanted to hold her hand, just say so! But he actually found such an excuse. Her husband was really cute!

“I’m not lying to you. Feel how cold your hand is!” Luo Cheng explained seriously.

Li Xiaoran nodded with a smile. “I think so. My hands are really cold! If only they were this cold in summer. This way, I wouldn’t be afraid of the heat!”

“No, cold hands and feet is a sickness. You have to be treated! You have to soak your feet in hot water in summer as well. This will help you recuperate!” Luo Cheng said.

“I have to soak in hot water on such a hot day?! Husband, no!” With that, Li Xiaoran stopped and blinked at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng pretended that it was too dark to see Li Xiaoran’s wheedling. Then, he pretended to be calm as he said, “Be good and stop fooling around. I’ll soak with you!”

This amused Li Xiaoran.

On second thought, Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng’s actions were very heartwarming.

“Sure, you said so, so you have to stay with me!”

“Alright! I’ll accompany you for the rest of my life!” As the night wind blew, his clear voice sounded in Li Xiaoran’s ears.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran wished that time would stop!

After Kang Zheng and Wen Lu got married, Li Xiaoran gave them three days off without any salary deduction.

Therefore, the people at the shop became busier for the next few days.

Luo Cheng was preparing to go to the capital while waiting for some news.

Soon, news came from the capital.

Seeing that his brothers in the capital could barely take care of their own matters, Luo Cheng put away the note in satisfaction and placed it in the brazier to burn.

It seemed that they could enter the capital now.

At this moment, Pei Xuanxin and Li Yan, who were preparing for the exam in the capital, were not having a good time.

The scheduled Spring Meeting was delayed because of what happened next.

Just as many examinees were wondering if the Spring Meeting would be held this year, the imperial court finally gave a notice: The Spring Meeting would be held in twenty days.

The examinees heaved a sigh of relief.

Pei Xuanxin also felt much more relaxed. At this moment, he was focused on studying.

What made Pei Xuanxin feel baffled was that his wife, Li Yan, could buy some question sets for him to practice every once in a while.

It had to be said that these questions had inspired him a lot and he was full of confidence now.

Ai Mingze and Qi Fei seemed to have been studying hard recently. Other than coming over occasionally to discuss some difficult questions, they studied separately.

To be honest, this sort of interaction mode made Pei Xuanxin much more relaxed.

For some reason, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze always gave him an uncomfortable feeling.

He couldn’t explain where this discomfort came from.

Fortunately, the Spring Meeting was about to begin.. After the exam, they probably wouldn’t interact again!
