Three days later, Yan Xixia took Xiao Lian to the Jinyi Pavilion in the south of the city to customize a wedding dress. Jinyi Pavilion is the most famous clothing store in Huaihe City. There are many kinds of cloth embroidery threads and clothing styles.
Xiao Lian measured the size inside, thinking that she had never done anything for Yan Xixia or given anything, and the only handkerchief she had never given away. This time I came to Jinyi Pavilion, maybe I could buy some cloth to go back and make a cover with my own hands. clothing.
Xiao Lian's man of the same size inquired about the price of the best cloth in Jinyi Pavilion. Xiao Lian calculated his own money, and the profit of the embroidery workshop in the past two years was estimated to be only enough to buy the cloth for making a suit, not counting the embroidery thread and the payment for making ready-made clothes. Fortunately, Xiao Lian wanted to make a set of clothes for Yan Xixia himself. He was also an embroidery workshop, and there were also good embroidery shops, so the money could be saved.
Sitting on the carriage back, Xiao Lian was still thinking about the cloth of the Jinyi Pavilion when Yan Xixia suddenly asked, "What is Madam thinking?"
Xiao Lian replied subconsciously, "The cloth of Jinyi Pavilion."
Yan Xixia knew that Xiao Lian had never worn this kind of material since she was a child, and thought that Xiao Lian felt that she spent too much money: "Madam really doesn't need to care about those external things, although the Yan family is not as good as before, but there is still no need to worry about money. of."
After Yan Xixia finished speaking, she chuckled again: "I remember that Madam has a small embroidery workshop. If the Yan Mansion really declines one day, it will depend on Madam to support me."
Xiao Lian knew that Yan Xixia was joking with him, but his sense of responsibility as a man made him feel a little subtle: "My craftsmanship is good, although I can't let you live a life of brocade clothes and jade food, but I can also guarantee food and clothing. Don't worry."
After Yan Xixia listened to Xiao Lian's serious answer, she let out bursts of low laughs, her voice was low and gentle, with lingering love: "Madam is really cute."
Xiao Lian listened to Yan Xixia's voice praising him with a smile, the little deer in her heart seemed to be jumping around, and she said shyly, "I'm a man."
When Yan Xixia heard Xiao Lian's words, she thought that the first time she saw Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian was scolded by Xiao Xin for embroidering like a woman all day long. She was afraid that her unintentional words would hurt Xiao Lian's heart, and explained: "Woman You can learn martial arts, and men can embroider. No one can rule that everyone looks the same. If I offended the lady just now, I apologize first, but I hope the lady can understand that women can be praised, and men can also be praised. cute."
Xiao Lian hurriedly said: "I know you are praising me, not laughing at me, I understand, you don't have to apologize to me, I don't care about that, you don't have to be so careful with me."
"If it's me who cares, it's messed up and makes Madam laugh." Yan Xixia groped and touched Xiao Lian's hand and held it. "I know Madam's handkerchief is best embroidered. I wonder when Madam will embroider a handkerchief and give it to me?"
Xiao Lian thought of the handkerchief she hadn't given out: "Actually, I embroidered a handkerchief for you before."
"Huh? Why am I not impressed?"
"I didn't send it out."
"Does that lady still keep that square handkerchief?"
"Still."
"Then I will have the cheek to ask the lady for it."
"It was originally embroidered for you, but I'll give it to you when I return to the mansion," Xiao Lian shook Yan Xixia's hand slightly and added, "It's just the same material, I hope you don't dislike it."
The fabric used for that handkerchief was already the best fabric in Xiao Lian's hands at the time, but it couldn't compare to the fabric of Jinyi Pavilion.
Yan Xixia said with a smile: "The handkerchief embroidered by Madam is something that Jinyi Pavilion can compare to."
It was obvious that a breeze slipped in through the window from time to time in the carriage, but Xiao Lian felt a little hot.
After returning to Yan's house, Xiao Lian took out the handkerchief and handed it to Yan Xixia. Yan Xixia felt it carefully with his hand. An animal and five characters were embroidered on the handkerchief. Yan Xixia felt the embroidery thread while touching the word. The raised trajectory, after figuring out what the word is, suddenly smiled: "The madam embroidered 'Horse is successful' and a horse? There is also a word 'Pity'."
Xiao Lian's voice was indistinct: "Well."
Yan Xixia thought that Xiao Lian hid on her way to the village exam that day: "Did you want to give me this handkerchief that day?"
Xiao Lian knew what Yan Xixia meant, blushed and agreed: "Well."
"The word 'pity' embroidered by that lady, does it represent the embroidery workshop's pity, or Xiao Lian's pity?"
Xiao Lian's answer was soft and firm: "Xiao Lian's pity."
Yan Xixia clenched the handkerchief tightly, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hug Xiao Lian tightly in her arms, touched Xiao Lian's hair with one hand, lowered her head and said in Xiao Lian's ear, "Should I be glad that I was blind before getting married, otherwise what would happen? I can marry you."
Xiao Lian hugged Yan Xixia back, and rubbed her face lightly in Yan Xixia's arms: "I should hope that your eyes are good, and you continue to take the imperial examination and honor the lintel. But deep down, there is a despicable villain who is for you again. Blind and cheering, I'm such a selfish person."
Yan Xixia lightly kissed Xiao Lian's ear: "I am very happy with your 'selfishness'."
Yan Xixia followed Xiao Lian's ear and kissed her lips closely and tightly, gently and gently pecked. Yan Xixia's kiss was just like his own, gentle and restrained with wind and drizzle.
The next day Xiao Lian said that he was going to the embroidery workshop. This was the first time he went out to the embroidery workshop in the past few days since he got married to the Yan residence. Of course, Yan Xixia did not refuse.
In fact, Xiao Lian brought all his money and was going to Jinyi Pavilion. Jinyi Pavilion was far away in the south of the city. Xiao Lian also didn't want to use the carriage of Yan's house, but if he used the carriage of Yan's house, Yan Xixia must have known that he went to the Jinyi Pavilion.
Yan Xixia's brain is bright, and Xiao Lian is not good at lying, so she will definitely be exposed at that time. So Xiao Lian went to the market, where there were donkey carts pulling goods to the south of the city every day, just give some money.
Xiao Lian found a donkey cart that was pulling goods to the south of the city. After explaining his purpose, the owner of the donkey cart asked for a price: "One thousand six hundred wen, if you take a round trip, you will need two hundred less and only three taels of silver."
"Isn't the market price 600 wen a single time? Why did it go up a tael or two for nothing?" Xiao Lian also knows this, a single 600 wen, back and forth a tael of silver.
"I don't even want to look at other people's donkey carts and mine." The owner of the donkey cart pointed to his own donkey cart that was not bad, and sneered, "If you like to sit or not, let me remind you that recently only I'm pulling goods in the south of this city."
Xiao Lian was afraid that he would not receive any business, so he would save some money to pay for the Xunqiu couple in the embroidery workshop. Originally, Xiao Lian was a little reluctant to go back and forth for a tael of silver, not to mention three taels, if you can save a little bit.
It took two hours to walk from Yan's Mansion to Jinyi Pavilion, and it took almost a day to go back and forth. Xiao Lian was afraid of wasting time, so she wanted to follow the truck that was pulling the goods. Now she thought that it would be more cost-effective to go anyway. Xiao Lian bowed to the owner of the donkey cart: "No need."
The owner of the donkey cart looked at Xiao Lian's appearance and thought it was a little herd, and spat: "I can't afford three taels of silver."
Xiao Lian was not annoyed, and turned around and left.
Xiao Lian didn't go to Jinyi Pavilion until noon, went in and picked out the cloth, and paid the money readily, only twenty-five taels of silver remained in the purse. Some people are glad that they didn't ride the donkey cart, otherwise the wages for this month would not be paid.
Xiao Lian went out with the cloth he bought, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. His mother had raised him for so many years, and he had never spent so much money for his mother. He also thought that when Yu Fu got the handkerchief next month and paid off the balance, he would have money again, and then he could buy something else for his mother.
The only thing I didn't think about was myself.
Xiao Lian bought two biscuits to satisfy his hunger. After eating, he hurried back. The cloth was placed in the embroidery workshop and was not brought back to the Yan residence.
Xu was walking too much during the day, lying in bed at night, talking to Yan Xixia, and fell asleep without saying a few words.
Yan Xixia listened to Xiao Lian's sleepy voice: "Are you tired today?"
Xiao Lian's thoughts were blurred, but he still remembered that he was talking to Yan Xixia and replied, "Well, I'm a little tired."
Yan Xixia stroked Xiao Lian's cheek: "Then go to bed earlier."
Xiao Lian just heard Yan Xixia's voice saying to let him sleep, but before he responded, his brain immediately went to sleep.
