After being beaten, Chen Si really didn't want to force Xu He to inquire about Xu Shaochun. He rubbed his beaten chest and gasped for air, howling in a low voice, half of it was real pain, and half of it was fake.

    Seeing the situation, the two women on the bullock cart glanced left and right at Xu He, all the meaning of the search was written in their eyes, Zhang Fangyuan ignored Chen Si, instead he frowned and gave the two women a bad look. The palm between the knees suddenly clenched into a fist again, and there was a rattling sound between the joints.

    The woman's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately retracted her scrutinizing gaze politely, not daring to vent her anger, and being careful not to look elsewhere.

    Xu He looked at Zhang Fangyuan, the two of them looked at each other, hurriedly glanced at each other without speaking, and the vest lay on his lap safely, blocking most of the cold wind.

    His hands were covered by a furry vest, and the soft and smooth touch was very obvious on the back of his hands.


    The rabbit fur was of excellent quality and kept him warm. His second sister had a scarf made of white rabbit fur. It cost 40 copper coins a piece, but it was really warm and looked good when worn around her neck. It complemented his second sister's pink face. She looked even cuter, and the second sister was usually reluctant to wear it.

    If it wasn't for being able to hunt, no ordinary family could afford such an expensive fur vest.

    There was an indescribable feeling in Xu He's heart, the care and protection that his family and relatives had never given him, he actually felt it from a poor bastard in the village.

    How could this feel good.

    The bullock cart followed the official road to the city in about an hour, and Zhang Fangyuan paid for the bullock cart master.


    Chen Si was still thinking about asking Xu He to bring pastries to Xu Shaochun, but thinking about Zhang Fangyuan's fist, he held back his words, and stood alone at a distance, waiting for Zhang Fangyuan to go into the city together.

    "thanks."After Xu He got out of the bullock cart, he took the vest and returned it to the owner, and thanked him with the money for the bullock cart.

    Zhang Fangyuan took the vest that was still warm, he casually tucked it under his arm, and asked, "Are you suffering from a cold?"

    "It's not serious."

"Did you get the cold from the rain last time?"

Xu He said: "It's been a bit cold for a long time, and the cold weather seems to be more serious recently."

Before Zhang Fangyuan could say more, Xu He directly cut off the conversation between the two: "I'm entering the city."


    Zhang Fangyuan didn't bother people, seeing the ge’er walking forward with a basket on his back, he was thoughtful.

    "When did you get so familiar with He ge’er?"

    Chen Si saw the two of them muttering something from afar, and when he saw He ge’er walked away, he looked at Zhang Fangyuan suspiciously: " Someone have walked so far and still stare at him? You are afraid that someone will be exposed to the wind and give him your vest, and you invited someone to ride in a bullock cart, don’t you?”

    Zhang Fangyuan grabbed Chen Si’s index finger that suddenly realized: “Don’t talk nonsense."


    "Who is talking nonsense, you protect He ge’er like this just to get closer to Shaochun, it's all brothers, so talk straight, anyway, there are many people staring at Shaochun in the village, you don't have to be the hidden ones, we can compete fairly."

    Zhang Fangyuan glanced sideways at Chen Si, speechless, and strode into the city.

    "But you go to another house to prepare for a meeting, and you with Shaochun will be even more hopeless?"

    Chen Si was a little confused, and hurried forward.


    Following the instructions of his fourth aunt, Zhang Fangyuan first bought a box of honey-flavored shortbread, and then pulled two pieces of cloth. In order to show his sincerity, after buying these basic gifts from the villagers he added a box of silk flowers that girls would wear at home.

    He felt that it was really troublesome. The one store in the east and the one in the west had many different styles, so he might as well just took two pieces of meat to Guang's house, and Guang's family would probably like it if he saved the trouble.

    The fourth aunt laughed and scolded him for being so unsuitable for the etiquette in the village, because people would deduct points from the begging family when they saw each other.

    Auntie had specially confessed this thing, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and find a jewelry shop that he had never stepped into before, and as soon as he inquired with Xiaoer (waiter), he immediately brought out big boxes and small boxes.

    When the box was opened, it was colorful, and there were all kinds of flowers. The price was not judged by the size, but by the degree of delicacy. The more it looked like a real flower, the more expensive it was.

    Zhang Fangyuan looked at a pile of silk flowers, frowned and fiddled with them: "It's better to wear real flowers directly, wouldn't it be more real?"


    Xiaoer said: "Look at what this guest said, the real flowers are not comparable to the silk flowers. The silk flowers will bloom for a long time."


    Zhang Fangyuan knew nothing about these things and had no interest in understanding them, so he said business likely: "Take two pairs."

    "What kind of flowers do you want?"

    "Choose two festive ones for me. That’s it, I’ll ask for a marriage.”

    Xiaoer was very eager: “Okay, I’ll choose two beautiful and festive ones for you, and I’m sure the girl will be happy when she sees them.”

    Chen Si was also eye-opening, dazzled: “Why don't I pick one for Shaochun too? I think she will like it."

As soon as the words fell, Xiaoer, who had wrapped the silk flowers in a box, smiled and said to Zhang Fangyuan: "A pair of silk flower is fifteen copper coins, two pairs are 30 copper coins, plus a gift box is 12 copper coins. Guest, check here."

    Chen Si shut his mouth immediately when he heard the words, and hurriedly put back the silk flowers he was playing and looking at it carefully. The fake flowers were too expensive. Four flowers plus a box cost forty-two copper coins, for pork you could eat two catties. Jewelry shops were really not something ordinary people could come to.


    No wonder it was said that getting married was a big hurdle, and it also cost money.
