In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Lian gave Yan Xixia the clothes she made, and Yan Xixia asked, "So the lady was so busy a few days ago that she was making clothes for me?"
Xiao Lian was a little embarrassed: "Well, I want to give you a surprise."
"Thank you madam, I'm very happy, but if madam surprises me again in the future, don't make yourself tired, or I will feel distressed."
Xiao Lian assured: "Well, I will pay attention in the future."
Yan Xixia touched the fabric carefully: "Is this from Jinyi Pavilion?"
"Well, the fabric is from Jinyi Pavilion, but my craftsmanship is definitely not as good as theirs, so you can do it."
"Madam, don't belittle yourself." Yan Xixia touched the embroidery pattern on the clothes, "Madam's embroidery is very good."
Xiao Lian was in a good mood: "Would you like to try to fit?"
"Then I'll trouble the lady."
Xiao Lian helped Yan Xixia get dressed. Xiao Lian did not measure the size of Yan Xixia's body, she just relied on visual inspection, but it fit very well. The light blue clothes were elegant and dusty, Xiao Lian sorted out Yan Xixia's clothes: "It fits very well. ."
Yan Xixia thought to himself that the price of the fabrics of Jinyi Pavilion was extremely high. He also knew Xiao Lian's situation, and he didn't know how much savings Xiao Lian had left: "Madam, did you spend most of your savings?"
Xiao Lian was more afraid that Yan Xixia would feel that she had little money, and that she would be burdened by collecting clothes: "Nothing, I can earn it back without the money. Besides, you also gave me a wedding dress, which is much more expensive than the clothes I made. Don't take it to heart."
Yan Xixia held Xiao Lian's hand: "Madam, although the wedding dress I gave you cost more than two silver coins, it is nothing in the eyes of Yan's house, but the clothes you gave me are more than me. This is much more valuable. I hope that Madam really wants to give me away, not to return my love. I am good to Madam, and Madam can accept it with peace of mind. There is no need to do the same thing for me. Even if Madam returns me a handkerchief, I am also very happy."
Xiao Lian has never been treated like this by others since he was a child. He can't accept others' goodness with peace of mind. If someone else gave it to him, he must return it. Therefore, when Yan Xixia gave him a wedding dress, he gave him the clothes, although it was better to marry him. clothes, but at least a little peace of mind.
Xiao Lian listened to Yan Xixia's words, did anyone other than her mother really treat her well without asking for anything in return? If this person is Yan Xixia, he seems to believe it in his heart, but he still asks: "What if one day you feel that you have paid too much for me and it is not worth it?"
"If there is such a day, you must be one step ahead of me and go to Elysium, and I will complain to you when I am old, 'I am so good to you, but you left me alone'. Besides, is it worth it? After all, it doesn't matter what Mrs. said."
Xiao Lian leaned against Yan Xixia's arms: "I never had any confidence in myself."
Yan Xixia hugged Xiao Lian and chuckled: "Does that lady have confidence in me?"
"Yeah, there is."
"The lady just has to believe me."
"it is good."
"If you are short of silver taels in the future, you can go directly to the accounting room. You are the master of Yan's residence," Yan Xixia laughed and joked.
Xiao Lian only hugged Yan Xixia harder and buried her face in his arms: "Well, I remember."
Yan Xixia continued to tease: "Does Madam remember that she was short of silver taels to go to the account, or did she remember to empty Yan's house?"
Xiao Lian countered: "Empty Yan Mansion."
Yan Xixia laughed out loud: "Then I will have to rely on my wife to support me."
Xiao Lian was also infected by Yan Xixia's laughter, and also laughed: "Well."
Now that Xiao Lian's clothes for Yan Xixia are ready, the handkerchief can be brought back to Yan's house for embroidery. Xiao Lian is going to go to the embroidery workshop to get her own small box. Lian felt a little familiar, but without thinking too much, Xiao Lian nodded with butler Yan: "Uncle Yan."
"But going out?"
"Well, go to the embroidery workshop to get something. Uncle Yan has guests, so I won't bother."
"I asked someone to come to the door to pick up the goods, you go."
Xiao Lian nodded and left.
The person next to Butler Yan was the same person that Xiao Lian met at the market that day who went to the west of the city to pull goods. Because of Xiao Lian's appearance, that person regarded Xiao Lian as a clerk, and thought that this beautiful clerk was very stingy. So I remembered him and asked Butler Yan, "Who is that person in charge?"
"He?" Butler Yan saw that he was staring at his eldest young mistress, thinking that he was coveting his appearance, and said angrily, "He is our eldest young mistress of the Yan family, pay attention to your eyes."
The man couldn't believe it, and his voice was a little loud: "Is he the Xiao family newly married by Master Yan?"
"Well, if it's a fake replacement."
The man really couldn't figure it out: "Then why did he go to the market to ride a donkey cart that pulls goods? Your Yan residence obviously has a carriage."
Butler Yan didn't know this and asked, "What did you say?"
"It was a while ago. I forgot the specific days. Maybe six days? Maybe eight days? Anyway, no more than ten days."
"Talk about the point."
"The following is the key point. He went to the market that day to find a donkey cart to the south of the city, and wanted to follow him to the south of the city. As a result, I only needed three taels of silver to go back and forth. He thought it was expensive and did not want to sit, so he went by himself. I went in the afternoon. It was strange to see him walking back with something in his hand when he was pulling the second shipment."
Butler Yan glanced at the man: "Thirty taels of silver? If I remember correctly, it only costs one tael of silver?"
The man didn't expect Butler Yan to know the price of this market, so he smiled: "I was the only one who went to the south of the city during that time. Naturally, I wanted to make more money. No one follows my donkey cart, I deserve it, I know I'm wrong, don't let me pull the goods."
"Don't worry, since I'm looking for you today, I won't let you go." Butler Yan won't let him go out this time, but decides not to look for him again in the future.
The man nodded and bowed: "Hey! Thank you in charge."
Butler Yan finished the matter of pulling the goods, and after thinking about it, he still told Yan Xixia about it. Yan Xixia knew what Xiao Lian did when he went to the south of the city. No wonder he was so tired when he came back that night. So stupid: "I know what's going on, thank you Uncle Yan for letting me know."
"I don't know what he wants to do either, so I just wanted to tell you that you guys are fine." Butler Yan was about to leave when he realized that Yan Xixia's clothes were new and had never been seen before, "What are these clothes? "
Yan Xixia's expression was gentle: "Madam did it."
Butler Yan is not a stupid person either, looking at the fabric of the clothes and contacting him, he will know how it is. He is relieved that the old man and his wife can finally rest assured, and the young master is also in pain: "Okay, okay! Then I'll go down first. "
Xiao Lian took the small box and went back to Yan's house, and went directly to the backyard to find Yan Xixia, who was indeed on the second floor. Yan Xixia was studying, but Xiao Lian didn't bother, for fear of disturbing Yan Xixia's rhythm, Yan Xixia couldn't see it, and when she relocated, she made a mistake. Xiao Lian put down the small box and sat at the table to embroider a handkerchief.
After Yan Xixia finished writing, she put down her pen, walked over to Xiao Lian and sat down: "Brother Xu and Brother Wen are coming to the mansion this afternoon. I didn't have a good chance to introduce you to each other before. It just so happens that you are at home today, so you can get to know each other well."
Xiao Lian almost embroidered wrong, put down the handkerchief, looked up at Yan Xixia, and felt a little unconfident in her heart: "You are all scholars, I only learned the book of enlightenment, and there is a small embroidery workshop, will it embarrass you?"
Yan Xixia didn't answer, but asked, "Does Madam think I'm the kind of person who looks down on others?"
Xiao Lian replied: "Of course not."
Yan Xixia smiled and said, "Then neither will my friends. Don't worry, Madam. Madam is very good. Naturally, I want them to envy me for having such a good lady."
Xiao Lian felt that she was very strange. As long as she said anything from Yan Xixia's mouth, she was like a reassurance pill, as if she liked Yan Xixia more every day than the day before.
