Mingxiu shrank her neck, smiled flatteringly at Ming's mother, and prepared to leave, "I'm a little tired and want to take a nap. Mother, please go back first."

I made up my mind to teach her a lesson, how could Ming's mother leave so easily?

I pulled Mingxiu and planned to talk about it later.

But at this time, Mingxiu had already disappeared. He quickly lay down and wrapped himself in the quilt. He looked like he was exhausted and wanted to sleep for a while, which made him lose his temper.

Pointing at her back, Ming's mother was so angry that she couldn't say anything, but she felt sorry that her daughter was really tired.

After all, he didn't pull her up and beat her hard. He rolled his eyes and went back to rest.

She really needed to have a good rest. Being treated like this by Mingxiu every day made her feel like her life would be shortened by a few years.

Within seven days, the betrothal gift was ready.

When the appointment was made, all the villagers in Mudan Village came out to watch.

This was the first time for them to see such a grand appointment.

Just the betrothal gift displayed outside has already made them extremely jealous.

But there were some who said sarcastic words secretly, but at this time, no one dared to make trouble in front of the Ming family.

Father Ming felt very aggrieved, but he still invited Xie Zhan in with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the flowing water table outside the courtyard was also opened, and all the Peony villagers participated in the meal and came to eat in a lively manner.

Of course, the Ming family was not easy to offend, so everyone who came brought more or less some gifts.

They said they were giving Mingxiu makeup, but most of the gifts were food, cloth and the like.

Only the village chief and his family gave him a pair of thick silver bracelets.

This is already a very precious gift in Peony Village.

All the dowries taken by some daughters' families when they get married are not as valuable as this silver bracelet.

Last time, Ms. Li had some trouble with Mingxiu because of Miao Zhuang's incident, but now she had to give such a generous gift, and her face was still dark.

Although these things will definitely not appear in Mingxiu's dowry in the end, they are more or less the wishes of the villagers.

Ming's father came out and thanked the villagers. Ming's mother was also helping to entertain the guests. Naturally, Xie Zhan couldn't be idle.

Only Mingxiu, in order to maintain the restraint of a newlywed, stayed in the house and did not come out.

Logically speaking, Xie Zhan should not meet her at this time.

But after coming, Xie Zhan would never be willing to leave without seeing Mingxiu.

So when no one was paying attention, he immediately rubbed oil on his soles and went to the backyard.

When he turned around and saw no one, he knew what Xie Zhan had done without even thinking.

Ming's mother twitched her lips and pretended not to notice, while Ming's father gritted his teeth in hatred, but what could he do?

In the backyard, Mingxiu was idly playing backgammon with the egret.

"I've been so busy ahead of time, but you're so leisurely."

Xie Zhan walked slowly into the yard and saw Mingxiu playing chess, and Xie Zhan's eyes lit up.

He didn't think Mingxiu could play chess before, and Mingxiu never mentioned it, so he thought she couldn't.

After walking in, I realized that Mingxiu was not playing chess, but seemed to be playing with the egret.

In an instant, Xie Zhan lost his mind.

Holding her chin, Mingxiu shook her head and said: "I don't understand the joys and sorrows of people. I just think they are noisy."

He didn't expect Mingxiu to say such words. Xie Zhan was startled. These words... the more he tastes, the more meaningful they become.

He looked at Mingxiu passionately, and every time he thought he knew her well enough, she would reveal another side that was different and unpredictable.

Mingxiu seems to have no rules, is careless and does not know the importance of things, but in fact she never loses her temper at critical moments.

At the same time, whenever he thought that Mingxiu had not read many books and only read account books, he would hear her words that seemed crude but were actually memorable.

Even an old fox who has read thousands of sails may not be able to say such a thing.

She is transparent and kind to people's hearts but never looks down on human nature.

Xie Zhan felt that he liked her more and more.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Like a gangster.

Mingxiu frowned and faced his gaze, unable to play chess anymore.

Throwing the chess pieces into the box, he turned to look at Oriole and said, "Go get me a cup of herbal tea. I'm very thirsty."

"Are you angry in this autumn day?"

Looking at Mingxiu with concern on his face, Xie Zhan was a little anxious.

It's not good to get angry at this time. What if you get pimples on your face before marriage?

He didn't care about Mingxiu's appearance, but everyone said that getting married was the most important day in a woman's life. If she faced it with a flawed appearance, he was worried that Mingxiu would be sad.

and……

Getting angry is not good for Mingxiu's health.

"...Nothing."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Mingxiu did not explain much.

Oriole came up with tea and placed his hands in front of Mingxiu. When he saw her drinking, he served tea to Xie Zhan.

After he took it, Oriole skillfully refilled Mingxiu's glass.

"Herbal tea quenches thirst. If you drink hot tea when you are thirsty, you have to worry about burning it."

At this time, people all drank hot water, and only some families with poor conditions drank cold water.

Logically speaking, Mingxiu should always have hot water in front of her, and replace it when it gets cold.

But who makes Mingxiu not like hot water that much?

If it weren't for the difficulty of getting ice at this time, she would still want to drink ice water.

After seeing her drink two cups, Xie Zhan realized that the herbal tea in her mouth was different from what he had remembered.

Looking at Mingxiu with disapproval, Xie Zhan said: "Drinking cold tea is not good for the spleen and stomach. It is better to drink less in the future. If you don't like boiling water, the same goes for warm water."

Not wanting to argue with Xie Zhan about this, Mingxiu pouted and said nothing, seeming to acquiesce.

Xie Zhan only regarded her as acquiescing.

While the two were chatting, a little girl came outside and whispered into the egret's ear. The egret then informed Mingxiu.

"Miss Shu is here."

He looked at Xie Zhan meaningfully, his bright eyes full of narrowness.

but……

No matter how you look at it, you don't look happy.

Even Xie Zhan, a rough-and-tumble man, couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Mingxiu's face.

"I don't know why she came here. Your family won't send her a message, right?"

"My house only has a flowing table and no posts." Mingxiu lowered his eyes and put the teacup in Oriole's hand, "Since everyone is here, there is no reason for us to avoid them, so let's go."

With that said, she stood up, took the coat handed over by Oriole and put it on.

There were a lot of people outside, and Mingxiu couldn't always look slovenly when meeting people. With the help of Oriole, she put on a slightly more formal coat and added some jewelry on her head.

It won't be over until a quarter of an hour passes.

Ignoring Xie Zhan's obstruction, Mingxiu followed Egret directly to the main courtyard.

"What kind of wind brought Miss Shu here?"
