The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 239 Quilt
The middle-aged man did not answer right away, but picked up a handful of cotton and tore it carefully, feeling that he was not sure about it.

"Master Xie, how about it? Can it be done?" Han Qianluo asked quickly, feeling a little worried. If it couldn't be done, it would be troublesome.

The man surnamed Xie hesitated for a while, and then said unsurely: "I can try, but I don't guarantee what it will look like."

"Okay then, let's try it." Han Qianluo said, this is the only way to do it now, so he left the things here and went back, and made an appointment to pick them up in two days.

Two days later, Han Qianluo came to the house of the man surnamed Xie as scheduled. When he got there, the man surnamed Xie was at home. The man brought Han Qianluo into the house and showed her the quilt he had made: "Ma'am , This is the finished quilt, can you take a look at it?"

Han Qianluo looked at the freshly baked quilt in front of her. It was really better than she expected, so she nodded repeatedly and said happily, "It's pretty good, it's really good."

"As long as Ma'am is satisfied." The man surnamed Xie also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the middle-aged woman standing next to him, Xie Shi, the wife of the man surnamed Xie, said: "Madam, you don't know that in order to make this quilt well, we really couldn't eat well or sleep well these two days. It took a lot of money." Lots of brains."

"It's really troublesome, Master Xie." Han Qianluo said as he took out fifty coins from his body, "This is a reward for Master Xie."

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Mrs. Xie beside him had already taken the copper coins with a smile on his face.Said: "Madam is really generous, if you want to make a quilt in the future, just come to us."

"That's for sure. I really need to make a few more quilts like this." Han Qianluo said.

"No problem, no problem, ma'am, just take it." Mrs. Xie quickly replied.

After Han Qianluo took the quilt back, he immediately took some other cotton to the home of the man surnamed Xie, handed the cotton to them and said, "This is 48 catties of cotton, and it will be made into three quilts, [-] catties per bed." Shi happily agreed and asked her to pick it up in nine days.

For the past few days, Han Qianluo has been holding back and did not tell Liu Linchu about making the quilt. Now that the quilt is ready, she can't wait to share the news with Liu Linchu, so when Liu Linchu came back from the city, She ran out quickly, took Liu Linchu's hand excitedly and said, "Brother Linchu, I'll show you something."

Because Han Qianluo put the finished quilt in the bedroom, he dragged Liu Linchu into the bedroom.Although Liu Linchu didn't understand why, he still let her lead him forward.

Han Qianluo pulled Liu Linchu into the bedroom, pointed to the quilt on the bed, and said proudly, "This is a quilt made of cotton. Take a look at it."

Liu Linchu stretched out his hand to touch the quilt, felt it carefully, and then replied: "It feels good when I touch it with my hand, but I don't know if it keeps warm. I can only draw conclusions after I use it."

Although Han Qianluo really wanted to say that she had tried it and it was absolutely warm, her reason still existed, so she swallowed her words and said, "I have already sent other cotton to make a quilt, just It will take a few more days for us to be able to cover this quilt."

The quilt that is now made is just a trial, so it is very thin. When the weather is warm, it is almost the same, but if it is covered now, it will feel a little cold.

"By the way, what happened to your second sister?" Liu Linchu asked while sitting on the bed.

Han Qianluo also settled down next to him, leaning on him: "It's going well, I'm going to discuss marriage tomorrow."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Linchu asked in surprise.

"Isn't the fifth young master very ill, so his mother wanted to find him a wife to celebrate, so she was naturally anxious, and she probably couldn't do it." Han Qianluo said gloatingly.

Liu Linchu noticed her tone, put one arm around her waist, turned his head and said, "Xiaoluo, do you hate your second sister?"

"Of course, she is really terrible. You don't even know. Two days ago, I went back to get a drying mat to dry the cotton. I thought it was because my elder brother was not at home. What did you say?" Han Qianluo thought of this This thing is still a little pissed off.

Liu Linchu followed her words and asked, "What did she say?"

Han Qianluo just wanted to confide in her now, so she started to say in a crackling voice: "She said that I am already married, so I am no longer a member of that family, and I can no longer take things from that family casually. It really pissed me off. I just borrowed it and returned it after I used it up, but she didn't care about it at all, just said that I wanted to get something from home, and then so what."

"Angry?" Liu Linchu asked.

"Of course she was angry. How could she be like this? She probably forgot what she looked like when she was driven back. She was cautious a few days ago, but now she is showing her true colors." Han Qian Luo said angrily.

"Okay, don't be angry, people are doing what the sky is watching." Liu Linchu comforted.

"But I'm just very angry. She's always like this. When she was at home before, she cooperated with outsiders to steal her family's prescriptions, then sold them for a small amount of money, and shared them with outsiders. I don't know what's going on in her mind." What, how can you be so stupid to do such a thing." Han Qianluo said angrily, although it has been two years, she has never thought about it clearly.

Liu Linchu persuaded, "If you think differently, you will naturally do different things. You and your second sister are obviously not the same people."

"I also think that sometimes I wonder if Han Shui'er is not related to us by blood, so that's why it happened." Han Qianluo said solemnly.

After hearing this, Liu Linchu laughed and couldn't help but said, "Xiao Luo, how much do you wish you had nothing to do with her?" Said.

"But it's clear that you really are sisters."

"why?"

"Because you two look so much alike."

……

The next morning was the day for Han Shuier to discuss marriage, but Han Qianluo was a little embarrassed. She felt that such a big family must have a lot of rules. If she went to negotiate marriage with the other party, maybe the other party would think they were The people in the family don't understand the rules, and then they are dissatisfied with Han Shui'er and withdraw the marriage, then it will be troublesome.

But if it wasn't for Han Qianluo to go, then only the elder brother Han Qingquan would go to discuss the marriage, but Han Qingquan had to discuss business with someone tomorrow, so he didn't have time to discuss the marriage, so now she was entangled.

Han Qianluo was confused and didn't know what to do, so she could only go over to discuss with her elder brother. It happened that when she passed by, she saw her elder brother at the door, so she didn't have to go in and meet Han Shuier, so she hurried over: "Brother."

"Xiaoluo." Han Qingquan stopped and said.

Han Qianluo hurriedly trotted to him and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Han Qingquan asked.

"Tomorrow is the day to discuss marriage with Han Shui'er. I think that such a big family must pay attention to rules, so it is not suitable for us to go there. But if we don't go, there will be no suitable people in the family." Han Qianluo Said with some annoyance.

Han Qingquan said without even thinking about it: "Didn't we also go last time? You can go there tomorrow without worry, and nothing will happen. Besides, since they are willing to marry Shui'er, it explains a lot of problems, so Go tomorrow at ease."

Now that the eldest brother said so, Han Qianluo didn't get entangled anymore, so she went to discuss marriage alone the next day. The place where the marriage was discussed was still the teahouse last time. The matchmaker went with her, but she was taken to the same room by the waiter as soon as she entered the door to wait.

Same as last time, Han Qianluo and the others waited in the room for almost two quarters of an hour before someone from the Qin Mansion who was married to Han Shui'er came over, and the person who came was the old woman who followed the old woman last time.

This elderly woman seemed to be a very easy-going person, with a smile on her face all the time, and she said loudly as soon as she walked in: "I'm really sorry, something is delayed, so I'm late." Qian Luo sat down opposite.

"It's okay, we just arrived." Han Qianluo said politely.

"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is also Qin, and I am the nanny of the Fifth Young Master, so the old lady asked me to talk about this matter." Qin Nanny said.

Han Qianluo smiled and said, "Then let's start quickly, otherwise it will be late in a while."

"Yes, yes, the old lady has already decided on the dowry gift before it comes, and it's all on it, you can take a look." Nanny Qin said as she took out a few pieces of paper from her body and handed them over.

Han Qianluo picked up these pieces of paper, all of which were written on this betrothal gift, she glanced at it hastily, this betrothal gift seemed a bit inappropriate and shabby for the status of the Qin family, but she He didn't think so much about Han Shui'er's affairs, so he said without hesitation after reading it: "No problem, let's make the dowry according to this list."

It was the mother Qin who was shocked, she was obviously taken aback, but then she resumed her smiling face and said, "It's no problem, that's great, it seems that our two families are really suitable, There's no disagreement even on these little things."

"Indeed." Han Qianluo nodded in agreement with Nanny Qin's words, but both of them knew in their hearts that these words were false.

"Since the dowry has been discussed, let's discuss the date of marriage." Nanny Qin said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Han Qianluo asked.

　Three more these days...
