The Red Chamber Collection

Daiyu had two things in mind, one of which was Zijuan's marriage.

Zicuckoo has no parents, who will call the shots for her now?And although I can make the decision, I am perseveringly unmarried.How can a girl officiate a wedding for another girl?Let people listen to it, wouldn't they laugh out loud!Daiyu is in trouble for this matter.

One day, she saw Li Xiao carrying a bucket of water into the door.He said: "Li Xiao, come here, I have something to ask you!"

Seeing Daiyu calling him, Li Xiao felt her heart pounding.Ever since I came here to help Zicuckoo, I have never spoken a word to Daiyu.He didn't even see Daiyu's face clearly.He walked with his head down, blushing and said: "Miss, what's the matter, just tell me!"

"I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do!" Hearing that Daiyu called Li Xiao, Zijuan came out of the room and interjected.

"It has something to do with you, go to your room, you shouldn't listen to what I said to Li Xiao!" Daiyu took out the young lady's money, but looked at Zijuan mischievously.

Only Zicuckoo was so ashamed that her face burned, and she hurried to the house, afraid that it would be too late, and Daiyu would say something that would make her even more ashamed.I thought to myself, Miss, she won't...

Zijuan covered her face with her hands, but eavesdropped on Daiyu and Li Xiao's conversation under the window.

"You're 23, why don't you get married?" Daiyu sat on the rattan chair sent by the shopkeeper.In order to please Daiyu and win the business, the shopkeeper put in all his effort.Seeing Daiyu sitting on the pier, he sent a pair of wicker chairs from the city.

"Miss Hui, the family is poor and can't afford the dowry. Besides, who would want to marry someone like us?"

"Poor, why don't you try to make money?"

"Here, we can't compare with the things we do in the city. Although we country people have a lot of strength, we can only serve two or three acres of Susukida."

"Then why not rent some to plant?"

"This kind of family's land not only requires someone to intercede, but also a gift. Our small family, how can we afford such a gift?"

Daiyu changed the topic, "Didn't you have an errand to deliver goods in the city? After that, you will have money. What kind of girl do you want?"

"We country people, what can we look for?" Li Xiaohan came down. He was talking to the lady for the first time, and he was nervous, afraid of saying the wrong thing. "As long as you don't dislike this family, it's fine!"

"What do you think of my Zicuckoo?"

At this moment in the room, Zicuckoo's heart jumped out of her throat.Where does the lady have the guts, is she supposed to ask this?She also thought that she had no father and no mother, and no one made decisions for her.Now that the lady sees her thoughts, she dares to do so.Zijuan couldn't help crying, she was surprised and happy at the moment.She put her hands on her chest to calm down her excited heart.

"Zicuckoo?" Li Xiao rubbed his head. He was really like a piece of wood. He didn't know what Daiyu meant. The Venerable Master praised her!"

"Then you think Zicuckoo is good, why don't you ask someone to propose marriage?" Daiyu is so smart, it's a waste of her thoughts to go around with him, it's better to say it directly.

Hearing this, Li Xiao knelt down in a panic, "The young one has no place to be overly polite, and I don't even dare to move my mind. I don't know how the young lady said this? I won't come here after this, this, after this. I know , I shouldn't have come here! I beg your lady to be magnanimous."

Daiyu was very angry and funny, and when she told him something serious, he was so frightened that he knelt down.It can be seen that the heart is still solid. After living with Zijuan, don't you have to listen to Zijuan? !Such an honest person should live with someone like Zijuan.

"Aren't you coming? Will Zicuckoo spare you? You've said it all, and you've taken care of the water in the future, but now you want to go back on your word?"

"Then, I'll leave after carrying water every day!" Li Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"I've been paying attention to you for a long time. Didn't you pick up water one day and leave? Zicuckoo asks you, you answer, and doesn't ask you, but refuses to say a word. Is your words so precious?" Daiyu She became more and more mischievous, she knew that Zijuan was eavesdropping in the room at the moment, and she thought to herself, I will come to torment your sweetheart.

Li Xiao is an honest person, he didn't know how to answer, but just wiped his sweat.Where has he seen such a battle? !All he knew was that everyone in Wangjiazhuang was in awe of her, because she was not only a young lady, but also a princess whom she called elder sister.

Seeing his distressed appearance, Daiyu couldn't bear it, "Just tell me, if Zijuan betrothed to you, would you be willing?"

Li Xiao quickly kowtowed, and said: "Miss forgive me, you can be happy with the little ones, but don't tarnish the reputation of Zijuan sister, the little ones can't afford it! My sister is someone who has seen the big world, how can we... ..."

Daiyu looked at Li Xiao who was kneeling in front of him, seeing his simple and honest appearance, she was happy for Zijuan, and said: "Okay, don't kneel down, get up quickly." Daiyu stood up and shouted into the room, " Zicuckoo, come out!"

Zijuan was in the room, and when Daiyu called her, she quickly lay down on the bed and covered her face with the quilt, she was so ashamed!Fortunately, she can speak out.

Seeing that Zijuan hadn't responded for a long time in the room, Daiyu knew that she was shy, so she raised her voice and took out her master's money and said, "I don't think you will come out for the rest of your life. That's when I admire you. You're talking about serious things. Why are you ashamed?! It's settled like this, I'm in charge!" After finishing speaking, Daiyu covered her mouth and snickered.

Seeing that Li Xiao didn't get up and was still wiping away his sweat, Daiyu sternly said, "Tomorrow, you go to the city to deliver goods, and buy a handkerchief for Zijuan along the way."

When Li Xiao heard about it, he said, "Miss?"

"I don't want you to buy it for me. I have a lot here." Daiyu joked again: "I don't have any loose silver here, and this handkerchief is not worth much. You put it on first, and then give the handkerchief to Zijuan, and follow me." That’s all for Zicuckoo! Get up, look at the land in front of you, you’ve already watered it, and I’m not planting crops in the yard.”

Li Xiao was relieved, thinking that the lady's teasing was finally over, and said: "Miss is bored, and it is right to use a small one to relieve the boredom, but it hurts sister Zijuan. This handkerchief is definitely not for money, it is for Zijuan My sister can't afford it!"

"You're finally right!" Daiyu said.

The next day, when Li Xiao came back from the city, he respectfully took a handkerchief with azalea on it and gave it to Zijuan.

"I didn't ask you to buy a handkerchief, why did you give it to me?" Zijuan didn't answer, but teased him.

"This..." Li Xiao didn't know how to answer, thought for a while, and said, "Miss asked me to buy it for you!"

"Miss is coaxing you, do you really believe it?! I have it, no need, you can give it to someone else!"

"Sister, I bought this. I ran for several streets before I fell in love with this one. I don't know if you like it. If you don't like it, I'll buy another one for you next time!"

Zicuckoo looked at it with a handkerchief and teased him, "What's all this? It's gaudy! You men just don't know how to buy things."

"Then I'll take it back and change it!" Li Xiao said, wanting to take it back.

"Now go change?"

"Ok!"

"Are you stupid?!" Zijuan looked at Li Xiao in front of her, she really wanted to nod his forehead with her finger.

Li Xiao was called stupid by Zijuan, so he lowered his head, hating himself for not being able to buy things.

"I fell asleep last night, and the lady came to talk to you. What did I tell you?" Zijuan looked at the handkerchief and asked casually.

"Miss is bored and panicked, making fun of me!"

"What are you joking about?"

"This..." Li Xiao stammered: "No, it's not, what kind of good words! It's just, it's just a joke!"

"What a joke, tell me to listen?!"

"I, I..." Li Xiaozheng stammered, when Daiyu came out of the room.

"You two, what are you doing here?"

"No, it's nothing." Zijuan lowered her head, afraid that Daiyu would make fun of her, so she hurried away.
