The sky was dark and heavy snow came again.
After eating her dumplings, Xia Qianqian curled up on the bed and told Qin and Xia Yunyun about the town’s sacrificial ceremony and how she defeated Han Yuqing.
Xia Yunyun had never seen a sacrifice before, so she listened with great interest. Qin, on the other hand, was in a trance. Every time Xia Qianqian talked about something, a corresponding scene would appear in front of her eyes, as if she was at the sacrifice site and had experienced it herself.
"Sister, who is Jintong? Is he good-looking?" Xia Yunyun asked.
"Girl, you're only a few years old and you've become obsessed with faces." Xia Qianqian pinched Xia Yunyun's nose with amusement.
Xia Yunyun said confidently: "My elder sister is so beautiful, Jin Tong must also be good-looking, otherwise how can he be worthy of my elder sister?"
"Pfft! This is a sacrifice, not a wedding." Xia Qianqian was amused.
"Qianqian, who is this year's Golden Boy?" Qin was also curious. In previous years, the Golden Boy was always a son of a wealthy family in the town. If he could be a good match for her daughter, she wouldn't have to worry about her daughter's marriage. With her daughter's ability and her family's current conditions, she could find a well-off family to marry into.
"Gu Changsheng." Xia Qianqian said.
Qin's heart immediately turned cold. They couldn't afford to marry the idiot young master of the landlord Gu's family, nor did they want to marry him! It was because Qianqian refused to marry that idiot as a concubine that the three of them were kicked out of the old Xia family.
When mentioning Gu Changsheng, Xia Qianqian thought of chocolate and Gu Yanjing, and her mood became extremely complicated.
The more they get along, the more they feel that Gu Changsheng is very similar to Gu Yanjing. When they smile, the left side of their lips is stretched wide. When they are in a good mood, their eyes are gentle, and when they are in a bad mood, they are cold... They are indeed of the same lineage, even their habits are the same.
Fortunately, she was smart and quick-witted, and she had preconceivedly put a label of "ancestor" on Gu Changsheng's forehead so that she would not make a mistake in identifying him.
"How could it be him?" Qin was shocked, "He is a fool!"
Xia Qianqian smiled: "Mom, he's not stupid."
"Not stupid?"
"Well, not only is he not stupid, he's also very smart! He even treated me to chocolate today." Xia Qianqian kept swallowing her saliva as she savored the taste of the nut chocolate.
Things that you didn’t cherish before have now become treasures!
I really want another piece of tortoise chocolate...
"Sister, what is chocolate?" Seeing Xia Qianqian's unsatisfied look, Xia Yunyun also became greedy.
"That's a delicacy!" Xia Qianqian waved her hand, "It's very sweet, melts in your mouth, smooth as satin, and has a rich aroma..."
Xia Yunyun couldn't imagine what that delicacy was, so she just pointed at Xia Qianqian and said, "Sister, you're drooling."
"Ahem, you can't buy it here." Xia Qianqian raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth awkwardly.
Although Qin Shi had poor eyesight, she was very thoughtful. She was sensitive to the fact that her daughter's attitude towards Gu Changsheng had changed significantly from before, and she was secretly worried. The Gu family was a wealthy family, how could they afford to marry into it? Besides, she didn't want her daughter to be a concubine.
"Qianqian, what do you think of Liu Xing?" Qin asked tentatively.
Xia Qianqian immediately understood what she was thinking and said helplessly, "Mom, I will return the meat to Liu Xing tomorrow."
"No, they gave the meat out of kindness, and they did it on the orders of our elders. Mother has already accepted it, so why are you giving it back?" Qin said.
Xia Qianqian sighed. It wasn’t that she looked down on Liu Xing, but she simply had no intention of having a relationship.
"Sister, Brother Liu Xing is a good guy. I like him." Xia Yunyun said naively.
Xia Qianqian was silent for a moment and said, "I don't like him."
"Why?" Qin asked.
Xia Qianqian said: "The skin is too dark."
