Half a month later, Ge Kaiwen came back from the capital, his face full of joy, and he was laughed at by his family.
Ge Kailin took the opportunity to blackmail: "Second brother, I said a lot of good things about you in front of Xin Yu.
You can successfully get engaged to Xin Yu because of my contribution.
How should you reward me?"
Ge Kaiwen didn't agree with her: "You are my sister and have the best relationship with Xin Yu.
It is not your duty to say nice things for me."
Ge Kailin felt bored: "Hey, second brother is not interested yet."
Ge Kaiwen laughed loudly and pointed at a large box brought in by Liu Mo and a sergeant: "I'm kidding you, these are all yours."
Ge Kailin leaned over and said, "What is it?"
"Sixth Miss, there are a lot of things.
Take your time and take a look when you have time."
Liu Mo and the sergeant carried the box directly to Caixingyuan.
The look in Ge Kailin's eyes that almost stuck to the box made everyone laugh.
Tan Liuer chased her away: "When people are here, their hearts are not here.
You can go and see as much as you want."
"Hey, I'm going then."
He trotted out of the house.
People were almost running to the gate of Diecui Courtyard, and they heard Ge Zhongsi shouting: "Kailin's husband must be carefully selected.
She cannot marry someone with strict family rules, otherwise she will be suffocated to death."
"You don't have to say this, Kailin is the youngest granddaughter of our family.
If anyone dares to wrong her, I will see if I don't destroy him."
It has always been the wife who follows the husband, but this time it's the other way around.
After leaving Pincui Courtyard, Ge Kailin's pace slowed down.
She couldn't tell what was wrong with her, she just felt empty in her heart and was eager to see the gifts.
She also wanted to take the opportunity to come out, so as not to let everyone see that she was absent-minded.
Go back to your house.
Seeing Shuiqin cleaning the big box Liu Mo sent, she casually asked: "What's in it?"
Shuiqin said: "Most of them are books.
What other slaves can see are the gadgets from the capital and the snacks that Miss Sixth loves to eat."
These are what the second young master usually gives to the sixth lady.
There are also several exquisite boxes in the box, but she dare not open them.
Asking for instructions: "Miss Sixth, the bookshelves are full.
Do you want to set up a special study room?"
The decoration of Ge Kailin's bedroom is very simple.
In addition to the wardrobe, it is also a bookcase.
The wardrobe is placed in an inconspicuous corner, and almost everything that catches the eye is books.
When unfamiliar people come in, they think they are entering a bookstore.
"You can discuss this with Shui Jue, as long as you don't damage my books."
Ge Kailin took out a wooden box from the big box.
The lid of the wooden box is engraved with colorful stars and fine leaves.
Tiny flowers in colorful colors.
The carving skill is no worse than that of Ge Tianbiao, and his style is not the same as that of Ge Kaiwu.
She was curious about who gave it to her.
Ge Kaiwen didn't have the ability, and Ge Kaifu was even more impatient to do it.
I want to open it and see what's inside.

I found a small lock hanging on the box.
I searched the box but couldn't find a key.
This is strange, giving gifts but locking them.
If she didn't give her the key, it's possible that the second brother was playing tricks with her again.
Put the wooden box in the drawer for now.
She and Cress packed the big box together.
There was nothing new in the other boxes, just some jewelry and toys, which were given to her by her second aunt, eldest cousin, eldest cousin, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, and Wu Yinhua.
Wu Yinrong and Ge Kaiwen were in the same capital.
They only said hello when they occasionally met at Wu Ziyi's house, and generally did not interact with each other.
Wu Yinhua, on the other hand, asked her husband to bring food and clothing to Ge Kaiwen from time to time.
Every time Ge Kaiwen returned to Ge Zhen, Wu Yinhua would ask Ge Kaiwen to bring something.
Gifts were indispensable for everyone from old to young.
Ge Kailin was speechless as she picked up the knife and gun in the box.
Brother, my sister-in-law is pregnant.
There is no need for you to give me the toys for your nephew or niece as a gift.
I am not a child.
As soon as she finished packing her things, Ge Kaiwen came to see her and was teased by her again.
Ge Kaiwen asked her: "Did you see a locked wooden box?"
"It's quite mysterious."
Ge Kailin took out the wooden box with colorful stars engraved on it from the drawer.
"Brother Xiang has something to do and he can't come back to attend my engagement ceremony."
Ge Kaiwen handed over a small copper key: "Open it and take a look."
"What?"
Ge Kailin felt flustered inexplicably.
"Since it's locked, you can see for yourself."
After Ge Kaiwen finished speaking, he went out and ordered everyone else in the room to get out of the way.
Holding back the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Ge Kailin opened the lock with the key, hesitated for a moment, then opened the lid of the wooden box, and immediately froze after seeing the contents of the box.
There are two rows of wood carvings neatly arranged in the box.
From the ugly baby covered with hematomas to the delicate and beautiful young woman, each wood carving is her appearance, starting from when she was less than one year old to when she turned fifteen this year.
Sixteen.
Ge Kailin's brain circuit is not enough.
What does this mean?
Tan Liuer announced that although Xu Xinyu was not the daughter of the Ge family, she was the daughter-in-law of the Ge family, and she grew up in the Ge family.
According to the prescribed rules, she could not get married until she was eighteen years old.
Xu Xinyu was not yet fifteen years old, so she and Ge Kaiwen could only perform a small wedding ceremony first, and then wait until Xu Xinyu reached sixteen years old to perform a big wedding ceremony.
Ge Kaiwen's face immediately put on a wry smile, while the others laughed, and Ge Zhongsi even laughed.
In this dynasty, betrothals can be divided into large betrothals and small betrothals.
A small order is when a man and a woman only exchange tokens with each other, and first confirm the relationship between the two parties.
The main purpose of making a big bet is that the man sends the bride price to the woman’s family, and the woman’s family then shows the man the dowry list for review.
The large betrothal gifts in Yuncheng County are similar to those in other places, while the small betrothal gifts are a bit torturous.
In addition to exchanging tokens, the man must also drink a small bowl of bitter gravy hand-pressed by his future father-in-law.
When Ge Kailin was a child, on the way to Wu Licui's house, Wu Limei and Wu Licui taught her and Wu Yinwei how to recognize bitter meat.
They said that although bitter meat tastes extremely bitter, it is the best to eat in the summer, and it is also a good detoxification medicine.
At that time, just hearing Wu Limei talking about it, Ge Kailin felt bitterness under her tongue.
Wu Yinwei asked Wu Limei if the bitter meat was still bitter after being boiled in boiling water.

Wu Limei replied that it was cool and slightly bitter, but had no medicinal value.
In other words, no matter how you process the bitter meat, it will still be bitter.
Drinking the bitter meat juice is no different from being tortured.
The terrible thing is, it’s hard, it’s hard, you have to pick it yourself and give it to the other person to abuse yourself.
Just look at Ge Kaiwen's handsome face that turned into a wrinkled face.
Ge Kailin could imagine Ge Kaiwen's expression when he drank the bitter gravy.
Ge Kailin concluded that Tan Liuer definitely did this on purpose.
Girls from other families get married when they reach fifteen years old.
Some girls get married before they reach fifteen years old, and then consummate the marriage after they are fifteen years old.
Moreover, the imperial court did not stipulate that those who are too young can only make small orders.
Whether it is a small order or a large order is up to the family.
However, no one interceded for Ge Kaiwen.
Who made Ge Kaiwen look like a nerd all day long, but in fact he was extremely sinister.
In the words of Ge Kailin.
Just full of bad water.
Put on a serious face and tease people.
It's so easy to hold a beautiful woman back, and you have to endure it no matter how hard it is.
Tomorrow is an auspicious day for making a small gift.
Ge Kaiwen acted quickly.
When Ge Town was still Gejiazhuang, there were wastelands everywhere, wild vegetables were everywhere, and it was easy to collect bitter meat.
Half a basket can be harvested in a quarter of an hour, and now every corner of the land is being used.
It takes a lot of effort to collect enough bitter meat juice from flat ground.
At the request of tourists, the mountain has undergone some renovations in recent years, but most places still maintain their original appearance.
It is easier to find enough bitter meat than at the bottom of the mountain when the sun sets.
Ge Kaiwen picked up a basket full.
The next day was the wedding day.
My father-in-law smiled kindly.
The vegetable juice in the tray bowl in the father-in-law's hand was very beautiful, and the thick liquid was glowing green.
Ge Kaiwen saluted Mr.
Xu gently, calmly picked up the bowl on the tray, slowly brought the bowl to his mouth, raised his head, opened his mouth, held his breath, and quickly poured a bowl of green juice into his mouth like pouring water.
After drinking the bitter gravy in one breath, Ge Kaiwen bent over and wanted to vomit, but he resisted and almost shrank into a ball.
"Okay, bring the candy."
The witness shouted, and stretched out a small hand in front of Ge Kaiwen.
On the open palm, a few candies lay quietly on it.
Xu Xinyu's little face was flushed, feeling distressed but not daring to look directly at Ge Kaiwen's expression, which made Ge Kaiwen forget his pain for a moment.
"Bitterness first, then sweetness, good luck in times of trouble, good luck and good fortune, everything goes well," the witness sang.
Ge Kaiwen woke up, picked up the candy in Xu Xinyu's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xu Xinyu was so anxious that she snatched the candy from his hand: "Oh, it hasn't been peeled yet."
Not only did the outer paper layer not be peeled off, but a few pieces of candy were stuffed in at once without choking.
The spectators burst into laughter.
Someone booed: "Hey, this is against the rules.
You can't eat sugar immediately after drinking the bitter gravy, otherwise you won't feel the pain."
Someone echoed: "This is exactly the saying.
Not only can't you eat sugar immediately, but you can't eat sugar too quickly.
You have to let the sugar melt slowly and naturally in your mouth, otherwise you won't be able to appreciate the benefits of first bitterness and then sweetness."

"Eat some sweets, the ceremony is completed, please take your seats."
"Ha ha ha ha" As soon as Mr.
Xu finished speaking, the relatives and friends watching the ceremony burst into laughter again.
A man who was about the same age as Mr.
Xu smiled and said: "Master Xu really feels sorry for his son-in-law.
You are so anxious to announce the completion of the ceremony before we witnesses have even spoken.
Could it be that you are afraid that we will bully your son-in-law."
"Hahahaha, you are really right.
I don't feel sorry for a half-son-in-law.
How can I expect you to feel sorry for me?"
"Haha, I want to feel sorry for my son-in-law, but unfortunately my family is a bunch of young men, so we can only worry."
The small wedding ceremony is held at the daughter's house, and only the future son-in-law is there alone.
Someone needs to witness when drinking the bitter gravy.
As for the exchange of tokens, it is a private matter between the two families.
The witnesses who are watching the ceremony only need to eat and drink well.
In the afternoon, Ge Kaiwen came back, and Ge Kailin pestered her: "Let me see what my second sister-in-law gave you, and I promise not to tell anyone."
Ge Kaiwen handed over a small thing: "I don't recognize this either.
I asked Xin Yu when she gave it to me, but she refused to tell her.
She just said it was her baby.
Girl, you often play with Xin Yu.
Have you ever seen this?
Something?"
Taking the thing that was only half the size of her little finger, Ge Kailin looked at it carefully.
This thing seemed similar, but it was different from anything she had ever seen.
Could it be that Xu Xinyu made it herself?
He laughed: "Congratulations, second brother, for marrying a clever woman.
When you two get married, husband and wife will follow each other and help each other.
It will be a match made in heaven and a match made by earth.
You are not trying to envy others."
Ge Kaiwen snatched the token from Ge Kailin's hand: "Little man, don't change the subject.
You haven't answered me yet what this is."
Ge Kailin stopped playing: "This is called a tongue whistle.
It is an instrument held in the mouth.
Xinyu will play a few tunes when she is bored.
This is something close to her.
No one has shown it except me.
She gave this to I don’t need to tell you what it means.”
In the previous life, Xixinyu never avoided Ge Kailin when she whistled, and only Ge Kailin heard her whistle.
"Of course I know what to do."
Ge Wenwen carefully placed the whistle close to his body.
Ge Kailin asked him: "Second brother, how long can you stay at home this time?"
Ge Kaiwen touched the top of her head: "About half a month."
"Why can't Brother Xiang give you a few more days off in such a short time?"
"There are a lot of things going on in the capital, so we can't stay too long."
"Except for visiting relatives and teachers and friends, you and Xin Yu don't have much time to spend together at all."

"Haha, you were wrong this time.
I don't have to visit relatives and friends when I come back this time.
I just spend all my time with Xin Yu, and I have nothing to say to anyone else."
"Unless you get the imperial edict, others won't dare to say anything even if they have opinions, but the emperor won't be too free to even care about this matter."
"Even if the emperor wants to take care of such trivial matters, it's not my turn, but he won't let me go when it comes to serving the emperor."
Ge Kailin was curious: "Second brother, have you really seen the emperor?
What does the emperor look like?"
Ge Kaiwen gave her a slap on the forehead: "The emperor assigned a task to Brother Xiang, and he assigned it to me."
"That means you haven't met the emperor yet," Ge Kailin touched her forehead, "The tasks assigned by the emperor can still be transferred."
"The emperor didn't ask him to do it himself, otherwise he would die of exhaustion."
Ge Kaiwen said funny.
Raising her hand again and curling her fingers, Ge Kailin covered her forehead and avoided it: "But what does this have to do with you accompanying Xin Yu?"
Ge Kaiwen said: "Do you still remember the flood a few years ago?
Yuncheng County is the main resettlement place for the victims.
The emperor suddenly remembered this incident for some reason and asked Xuxiang to report the situation in Yuncheng County.
I want to come back to get engaged.
Xuxiang Just send me to inspect."
"Oh, I understand," Ge Kailin lifted her hand from her forehead, "Xin Yu, as the breeding officer appointed by the imperial court, has the obligation to accompany you on tours of the mountains.
You two are together every day, so it's just a matter of course."
Yuncheng County is mountainous, and now all the hills suitable for fungus cultivation in Yuncheng County are under the jurisdiction of Xu Xinyu.
It is basically natural growth with artificial intervention.
Fungus cultivation in greenhouses is only done in Ge Town.
"Yes, my sister is worthy of being a villain."
Ge Kaiwen suddenly curled his fingers and successfully hit Ge Kailin's forehead.
Ge Kailin was angry: "I really bully my sister now that I have a daughter-in-law.
You go away, you go away."
Push Ge Kaiwen out.
"Hahahaha."
Ge Kaiwen laughed and followed her hand and walked out.
When he came back this time, he really had a heavy responsibility.
I don't know whether to call Marquis Zhenwu smart or stupid.
Yuncheng County is mountainous and not far from the capital, so it is a good place to hide.
But he forgot that this was Xu Xiang's base, and Xu Xiang had personally explored and inspected all the mountains and hills in Yuncheng County.
After watching Ge Kaiwen leave the yard, Ge Kailin stood quietly under the eaves for a while.
After returning to the house, she took out the brocade box from the drawer and looked at the lifelike statues.
She didn't know what to think
