The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 46 (Part 5)
Chapter 46: Betrothed (5) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
After speaking, he quickly lifted the door curtain, put the jade pendant hidden in his sleeve on the heated-brick bed, and then took a quick look at the person who was stunned there. He turned his eyes to her slightly open red lips and raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
“Ah Wan, you look so good today!” After speaking, he ran out like a cloud of smoke.
It wasn’t until the sound of horse hooves came from outside the door that Shu Wan recovered from the surprise just now. What was astonishing was Cheng Qingran’s bold words and actions, and what was astonishing was the peerless style of his bright eyes smiling.
Such a person actually really liked her? To marry her?
Her face was so hot and her heart was beating so fast. Shu Wan patted her face, forcing herself to forget the scene of Cheng Qingran blinking and smiling just now. She reached out to pick up the jade pendant he placed on the heated-brick bed.
There was still the temperature on his body and Shu Wan seemed to be scalded. She didn’t dare to look anymore. She wanted to hide it somewhere when she heard light footsteps outside the door. She felt anxious and put the jade pendant around her neck and hid it in the shirt.
The warm jade stick against her rapidly undulating chest made her feel strange.
“Older sister, what did you give big brother?” Shu Lan opened the curtain and trotted in. She hid under the eaves with Xiao Lang just now and heard the two of them whispering, but she didn’t pay attention to them mentioning her. In that part, she only knew that her older sister gave the big brother something good, otherwise, how could the big brother get on his horse and run away as if he was afraid of being snatched by someone?!
Xiao Lang followed Shu Lan in and saw Shu Wan glaring at them with a blushing face. He was thoughtful, but he touched his head unnaturally, and said very embarrassedly: “Sister Wan, we are not deliberately eavesdropping but the brother-in-law’s voice was too loud...” He quietly looked at Shu Wan’s expression.
Hearing Xiao Lang call Cheng Qingran’s brother-in-law, Shu Wan’s face suddenly burned, and she said angrily, “What brother-in-law? Ah Lang, you are not allowed to call him that again!” After a second thought, the two children listened to what they had just said, and facing the two pairs of eyes that seemed to be ignorant and smiling, she turned around angrily, turning her back to the two of them: “Older sister still has things to do. You two go out to play. By the way, you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened just now!” Glancing at both of them as a warning.
A discerning person could tell at a glance whether she was really angry or not.
Xiao Lang took Shu Lan and walked out, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. Sister Wan’s attitude had obviously changed... If Cheng Qingran was telling the truth, it didn’t seem bad.
By the way, did the man have to give the woman a family heirloom when they get married? There didn’t seem to be any such thing in his house!
Xiao Lang looked down at Shu Lan. What should he give the lazy girl?
Shu Wan’s wedding date was set for May 18 of the following year, which Cheng Qingran deliberately singled out on the three auspicious days. The other two were in November and March of the following year. Qin-shi was very satisfied with Cheng Qingran’s choice of days. She was really reluctant to let her daughter get married. If she could stay for a few more days, she would just stay for a few more days! Of course, if she knew what Cheng Qingran had in mind, her impression of this filial and good son-in-law would definitely change greatly. Fortunately, she had no chance to know.
After concluding the marriage and sending away her son who went to the prefectural city for the exam and Qin Ming who accompanied him, Qin-shi started to prepare her daughter’s dowry. Shu Wan also did embroidery work by herself, sitting on the heated-brick bed almost every day.
When Qin-shi was free, she would sigh at Shu Lan: “Ah Lan, when someone’s sisters marry, their younger sisters have to help embroider with the dowry. Look at how busy your sister is, don’t you feel distressed?”
The first two times she said this, Shu Lan would just nod her head to show her distress. Later, when Shu Wan was stabbed by a needle, Shu Lan’s tears fell: “Mother, teach me to embroider. I want to help my older sister!”
Qin-shi was just waiting for her to say this. Naturally, she could not ask for it. She specially prepared a small needle and thread basket for Shu Lan, starting with the simplest teaching.
At the end of August, when Shu Zhan returned from the prefectural city, he lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was good.
When the list was released in September, Shu Zhan didn’t win Juren.
His prospective brother-in-law specially came to comfort him: “You are still young now, not passing the exam is rather a good deed. Wait for me to find you a good teacher. It won’t be too late to take the exam in three years.”
The 14-year-old Shu Zhan wasn’t grateful and squinted at him: “My sister hasn’t married you yet!” He ran to his house all day long as if he had nothing to do. He really didn’t consider himself an outsider!
Shu Maoting, who was listening on the side, remembered something and secretly persuaded Xiao Lang to pay respect to Xun Mu to be his teacher. Unfortunately, Xiao Lang was unwilling. Shu Maoting had no choice but to sigh.
When people were busy, they felt like life went by very fast.
Shu Wan’s dowry was gradually prepared, and even Shu Lan had embroidered the first purse in her life. Don’t look at her usual laziness and stupidity. This embroidery work was quite impressive. Shu Wan treasured the purse under the box, and Xiao Lang began to think of a way to let the lazy girl make something for him, which inevitably was the same idea as Shu Zhan.
As if in the blink of an eye, the winter snow melted, and spring returned to the earth. When the Dragon Boat Festival was over, Shu Wan’s wedding date was approaching soon.
