Chapter 770 Private decision for life?
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already dark. Meng Bujiu was worried about her, so he personally sent her back.
Two yellow lanterns were hung on the Jiang family's carriage, swaying back and forth in the dark night, gradually moving away.
Meng Bujiu followed on horseback, and Jiang Fubao would be able to see him as long as he lifted the curtain.
After returning to Lianshan Town, Meng Bujiu did not go back, but slept at Dong's house for one night.
Because Jiang Fubao was worried about him riding alone at night.
Both of them were worried about each other.
"Crackling"
"Bang bang bang-"
Soon, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, the new year arrived again.
New Year’s Eve is always the day with the strongest festive atmosphere. Everyone gets up early in the morning, cleans the house, puts on new clothes, posts spring couplets, hangs up red cloth and red lanterns, etc. Everyone is busy.
In the morning, I simply eat a bowl of rice dumplings with some vegetarian eight-treasure dish, and that's it for the meal.
This meal is not the most important thing, as long as it can fill my stomach.
The New Year’s Eve dinner in Lianshan Town can also be called the New Year’s lunch. It is eaten from noon to afternoon, so there is no need to have another meal at noon.
Most families eat from noon until dark, and then get together to chat and play games.
The Jiang family does the same thing every year.
The aroma of food from the backyard wafted to the front, making Jiang Fubao's nose almost fall asleep.
She was sitting with her eldest and third sisters, and a maid was behind them, combing their hair.
Today, Jiang Wangyou was wearing tender yellow. Jiang Ruyi was cooking in the backyard. She hadn't changed into her new clothes yet, but Jiang Fubao picked out a lake green color for her, which suited her temperament very well. In Jiang Ruyi's words, she looked like a leaf that had become a spirit.
Jiang Huanyu was wearing a silver-colored outfit. She originally wanted to wear plain white, but was reprimanded by Zhang Jinlan.
Who wears white clothes during Chinese New Year?
How unlucky.
In the past, Jiang Huanyu loved wearing bright colors.
Ever since Baixingtang opened a branch, her reputation has spread, and many people, when they see her, would call her "Mr. Jiang".
Flattered by these people, Jiang Huanyu became completely fascinated by the fairy-like attire and loved to wear plain colors.
With a beautiful yet sophisticated silver hairpin, she thought she was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy from heaven.
Of course, it does look good.
None of the girls in the Jiang family are ugly.
When she saw Jiang Fubao, she only wanted to say five words: It feels good to pretend to be cool.
"Fubao, you are wearing such red today. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are getting married." Jiang Huanyu teased Jiang Fubao.
This is how sisters always talk to each other, and Jiang Fubao has long been used to it.
She rolled her eyes at Jiang Huanyue and replied, "If anyone is going to get married, it should be my third sister. When will my third sister find a brother-in-law for me?"
"It's almost there." I thought Jiang Huanyu was going to push it onto Jiang Ruyi.
Who knew she would say that? Jiang Wangyou and Jiang Fubao were both stunned and looked at her together.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Jiang Huanyu touched his face and asked blankly.
"What do you think? What do you mean by soon? What did you do outside? Or do you have a lover? Otherwise, why do you say that?" Jiang Wangyou looked at her worriedly.
Could it be that my sister has secretly married someone?
That’s not possible either.
If my family knew about this, there would be some trouble this year and I wouldn't have any peace.
After all, she is his biological sister, so Jiang Wangyou is obviously more worried about this matter than Jiang Fubao.
"What, um, what do you want to say? I didn't do anything." Jiang Huanyu quickly shook her head.
I was afraid that my sister would think too much.
"Then what do you mean by 'soon'?" Jiang Fubao asked immediately.
"Oh, I've fallen in love with this guy. After the New Year, I plan to mention him to my grandma and mom and ask him to come to my house and see my grandma and mom so that they can help me check him out. If he's okay, we'll get married." Jiang Huanyu talked about her marriage as easily as she was talking about what to eat next.
Jiang Wangyou was so angry that he almost slammed the table.
Her curved willow-leaf eyebrows stood up, and her eyes no longer had any gentleness.
"Nonsense, although our family is not so strict about marriage and can let you find your own partner, you can't be so careless. What do you mean by bringing someone home if you see someone you like? How long have you known each other? Where is he from? How many people are there in his family? How old is he? What does he do? Have you asked clearly?"
Jiang Wangyou didn't even comb his hair, grabbed Jiang Huanyu and asked sternly.
It was the first time she got angry, and Jiang Huanyu was so scared that she shrank her neck.
"Sister, don't get excited. Sit down and listen to me. I haven't made up my mind yet. He looks good and is okay to me. I'm not bad at all. I thought that I couldn't find anyone suitable, so I might as well go with him. I really want to have a daughter.
How can you have a baby without getting married? Although I didn’t like getting married before, my mind has changed now. I think getting married is also good. My brothers are all living well. And you, my eldest sister, look at you, you are so happy. I also want to be like you. Getting married is not that scary.”
Jiang Huanyu saw how Kong Mingxue treated her elder sister.
After saying that, she pushed her sister back to the chair, and then signaled the maid to continue combing her hair. Then she drank a sip of water, suppressed her nervousness, and continued: "His name is Zhang Zhijian, not from Zhangjia Village outside the city, but from Yunyou County next door. There is only a widowed mother in the family, no brothers or sisters, and he is about the same age as me.
Previously, I went to Yunyou to do some work and encountered some bad guys. He saved me. Although I didn’t need his help, he thought I was a weak woman, so I considered him kind-hearted. Anyway, he chased those people away. Later, he went to Lianshan Town to visit his relatives and met me on the road. In order to repay him, I treated him to a meal, but he secretly paid the bill…”
Jiang Huanyu carefully recounted how she got to know this person.
The man's family and household registration were also clearly described.
He even told me his height, preferences, and daily attire.
Jiang Fubao frowned, thinking that this person was definitely not simple.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Oh, I just happened to run into a bad guy, and I just happened to be saved by him, and I just happened to meet him on the road, and I agreed to have dinner with him but paid the bill. Does this mean I still want to have a chance to get along with him next time? Could it be love at first sight?
That's too sentimental.
Jiang Fubao never believed in love at first sight. Falling in love at first sight is just about looks.
But she didn't say that out loud.
The third sister was in a very high mood, so she wanted to wait until the man came to her house before making any final decision.
Maybe she was wrong.
It just happened.
Jiang Fubao remained silent and let his elder sister talk.
"Miss, I have finished combing your hair. Take a look. Are you satisfied? Do you want to put another pearl flower in it?" At this moment, Xue Huan brought a bronze mirror and asked Jiang Fubao to look at it. She also took out a silver pearl flower from the jewelry box and gestured on Jiang Fubao's head.
