Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 255 I like you

Because he spent a lot of time in the space, when Song Chunlin came out, someone was already busy in the yard.

It was just daybreak, but smoke was already rising from the kitchen. Aunt Song and Qin were making breakfast for the workers. The two Wang brothers were responsible for carrying firewood and fetching water. The finished buns were placed in a large basin, covered with a clean cloth, and carried to the main room by the two brothers.

Song Qinshi was the first to see Song Chunlin wake up: "Are you awake? Have you finished washing up? Dinner will be served soon. Although it's not a wedding today, there are still many things to do. Go take a shower after breakfast, do you hear me?"

"I know, mom. I'm done washing up and I want to eat corn."

"You only know how to eat. Look, the pot is full of it. Be careful of the burns."

"Hehe, I knew that mother loves me the most." Song Chunlin went out with corn in his arms, smiling. Song Qin looked at his back as he left and shook her head helplessly.

"Still a bunch of childishness."

The Wang brothers comforted her: "Aunt Chunlin is only thirteen, isn't she just a child?"

"That's right, if you ask me, that guy surnamed Gu is much older than Chunlin."

Song Qin sighed: "No matter how big it is, Chunlin likes it."

Hearing that the Song family was having a wedding, many families in the village came uninvited shortly after breakfast early in the morning.

It happened to be the Lantern Festival, and everyone brought over the rice dumplings they had made at home. Some also brought vegetables they had grown at home. It wasn’t a lot, but it was just a token of their thoughtfulness.

Grandpa Song and Grandma Song were responsible for welcoming the villagers at the door. The fire in the workshop had been lit early, and the charcoal was burning red. The fat sheep were waiting to be roasted, and the several stoves that were added temporarily were also filled with ducks and meat. As the sun shone high, waves of meaty aroma wafted over, and the greedy children drooled.

Gu Fengyue arrived at this time, along with Gu Fengyun and the matchmaker they hired.

This marriage was arranged by the emperor, so the matchmaker invited was also of noble status. She was the aunt of the late emperor and the only eldest princess of the Great Jing Dynasty - Baohua.

Although Baohua was the aunt of the late emperor and the great-aunt of the emperor, she was actually only in her fifties. She was the posthumous child of Emperor Shengzu and was born on the same day as her brother ascended the throne. It is said that the sky over the capital was bright with rays of light that day, which was regarded as a good omen by the people. The late emperor, who was the crown prince at that time, was already fourteen years old. She was raised and doted on by two emperors in succession, and her husband was carefully selected. After marriage, the couple lived in harmony and had both a son and a daughter.

It was precisely because her life was smooth and happy that Gu Fengyun specially invited her to come out and act as a matchmaker, hoping that his brother and Chunlin would have a happy future like the Grand Princess Baohua.

The villagers were quite excited when they saw Gu Fengyun coming, but then they saw the canopy-covered scented carriage behind it, as well as the guards and palace maids surrounding the carriage, and they were so frightened that they became speechless.

As the carriage approached, the chief eunuch stepped forward and shouted in a sharp voice: "Grand Princess Baohua has arrived, everyone else please get out of the way!"

"The Grand Princess?"

"Is it really a princess?"

"Stop talking and kneel down!"

The people below knelt down one after another, but they began to wonder in their hearts why the eldest princess came here instead of staying in her own princess residence.

Seeing that all the common people had knelt down, the eunuch nodded with satisfaction. The carriage behind him stopped, and several people filed in and helped the people in the carriage get off.

Princess Baohua looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said to the eunuch in a calm tone, "Let them all stand up. Today is a good day for the Gu and Song families to conclude a happy marriage. Don't use the tricks that are used in the palace."

Princess Baohua said so, and the eunuch naturally did as he was told. At his command, everyone stood up tremblingly, but their heads were still lowered, for fear that if they looked at him any longer, the nobleman would chop off their heads.

The Song family also heard about Princess Baohua's coming, and they had been kneeling at the door since a while ago. Princess Baohua walked up to them, glanced at them lightly, and quickly locked onto today's protagonist.

"You must be Chunlin, right? I've heard Fengyun mention you a long time ago. Good boy, take me in."

Upon hearing this, Song Chunlin stepped forward, held the eldest princess' wrist, and led her into the main hall. Zhou Ning hurriedly made some new hot tea, and Princess Baohua praised her again.

"This tea is good. Although it has no spices, it has a unique fragrance."

Grandpa Song said hurriedly: "If the princess likes it, take some back and drink it slowly later."

Princess Baohua's eyes lit up: "Really? That's a real expense."

Song Chunlin now realized that this person had a relatively mild temper and was easy to get along with.

After taking a few sips of tea, Princess Baohua finally got to the point. Gu Fengyun, on behalf of the Gu family, and Grandpa Song, on behalf of the Song family, exchanged engagement letters for the two. Because Song Chunlin was still young, both families planned to wait two years before deciding on the wedding date.

The engagement went smoothly. Song Chunlin thought it would take a long time. When the two sides were exchanging gifts, Song Chunlin hurriedly asked everyone to wait.

So a group of people looked at him in confusion as he hurriedly ran out, and then ran back, but when he came back, he was holding a long stick covered with red cloth?

Grandpa Song's eyes went dark, and he was about to remind Song Chunlin that sticks should not be given as gifts, but the next moment the red cloth was lifted, revealing the purple bamboo inside.

The purple bamboo was purple all over, but the edges were slightly transparent, just like the finest jade, emitting a faint fluorescence. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this thing was priceless. Even the knowledgeable Princess Baohua was stunned when she saw it.

"What a beautiful stick... No, Bamboo, Chunlin, is this the gift you want to give to Fengyue?"

Song Chunlin nodded vigorously and handed the bamboo to Gu Fengyue: "This bamboo is the most beautiful and straightest one I have picked. I will find you some good materials to make a gun head next time I have the chance."

Gu Fengyue took the purple bamboo in a daze. The purple bamboo was about nine feet long and as thick as two of his fingers. It felt special in his hand. Gu Fengyue liked this gift very much, not only because it was valuable, but also because it was a token of Song Chunlin's love.

"Thank you Chunlin, I like this gift very much." In comparison, what he gave were just worldly gold and silver items, which were incomparable to the precious purple bamboo.

But Song Chunlin was still very happy. It turned out that this was what it felt like to give someone you loved something he liked. I was happy when he was happy, and I was happy when he was happy.

What should I do, Gu Fengyue, I think I really like you a little bit.
