Quick travel to save a miserable life

Lin Hui had doctor's orders not to do embroidery these days, but Mrs. Wang Liu gave her a new job, which was to make shoes for her family.

In fact, they mainly make shoes for Wang Xiuyuan and Wang Ziming.

Wang Xiuyuan's shoes were actually still wearable, but Wang Liu's mother-in-law felt that the original fine cloth uppers were not worthy of her scholar son, so she asked Lin Hui to find some scraps of satin fabric to make the uppers.

Because Wang Ziming's height and feet grew quickly, he had to make shoes frequently.

Originally, in order to buy Lin Huiniang time to do more embroidery work, Wang Liu took over the shoe making job. Now that Lin Hui's eyesight cannot do fine embroidery these days, Wang Liu will take over the shoe making job. handed it to her.

Lin Hui looked through the scraps of fabric at home. Although there were many, there were no colors or patterns suitable for adult men to make shoes.

So, after reporting it to Wang Liu, he went to a familiar cloth shop to buy some large pieces of cloth.

Although the fabric is also made of satin, it is much cheaper than large pieces of fabric. Lin Hui packed a small bundle back and it only cost [-] yuan. There are several pieces of fabric that can be used to make shoe covers, and together they can make several pairs of shoes. , other scraps of fabric can also be used in other places.

There are plenty of rags for making shoe soles at home. Now that the shoe uppers are ready, Lin Hui officially starts making shoes.

Wang Xiuyuan thought about it for half the night last night, and decided to get close to Miss Dong first and find out her intentions before making a decision.

After all, Mrs. Lin can still generate income for the family now. If she is driven away rashly, but Miss Dong has no intention of her, then she will lose both ends!

It is necessary to obtain a formal statement from the Dong family lady before any action can be taken, and it is best to obtain the approval of the head of the Dong family.

No matter how you remarry, the young lady of the Dong family is still in her natal family after all, and the person who remarries must still get the support of her natal family. Otherwise, no matter how good the two people are, it will be in vain if the Dong family father and brother do not agree.

It was rare for Wang Xiuyuan to have a free day today. There was no cultural gathering or banquet, but he still left the house early.

Wang Xiuyuan spent ten copper coins to find two little beggars on the street to keep an eye on the Dong family's gate. If he found Miss Dong going out, he would find a way to report to him, but he himself was in a hotel near the Dong family. I was reading in the bookstore and waiting for news.

According to Wang Xiuyuan's observation, Miss Dong's family does not seem to be a peaceful person. She will not be like some women who stay in the back house all day without leaving the door.

Sure enough, Wang Xiuyuan had been in the bookstore for less than half an hour, and had just read a third of a book. One of the two little beggars ran over to report that Miss Dong was going out in a sedan chair. Look in the direction. I should go to East Street.

Wang Xiuyuan confirmed the authenticity of the news to the little beggar: "How did you know that the person sitting in the sedan chair was Miss Dong?"

"Miss Dong's sedan is specially made. It is very gorgeous and easy to recognize. Moreover, she opened the curtains of the sedan and I saw her face. Miss Dong is so pretty!" the little beggar said with a smile.

Wang Xiuyuan then put down the book in his hand, counted four cents to the little beggar as a reward, and walked all the way to East Street.

East Street is the busiest street in Changyuan County, and all the shops with the best business in the county are on this street.

Wang Xiuyuan didn't know which shop Miss Dong was going to, so he carefully observed the roadside while walking.

The little beggar had just described the appearance of Miss Dong's sedan to him, and Miss Dong's sedan was really conspicuous. Therefore, Wang Xiuyuan soon saw Miss Dong's sedan on the roadside.

He looked to the left and right and saw a makeup store next to him, and he was even more convinced that Miss Dong was probably in this store.

So, Wang Xiuyuan straightened the skirt and sleeves of his robe, and walked to the makeup store with confident steps.

He entered the store and found that Miss Dong was indeed in the store, with two girls picking out rouge.

So Wang Xiuyuan walked up to Miss Dong and coughed deliberately to attract her attention.

As soon as Wang Xiuyuan made a sound, Miss Dong actually looked over and noticed him. Wang Xiuyuan also looked at Miss Dong pretending to meet him by chance, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Wang Xiuyuan was the first to salute Miss Dong: "I have met Miss Dong. I met Wang Xiuyuan at your family's banquet before. I didn't expect that only a few days ago, I would meet Miss Dong here by chance. What a fate!"

Miss Dong looked at him with a half-smile, curled her lips, and returned the gift casually: "Wang Xiucai is a good scholar. What a coincidence. This is a makeup shop. I wonder why you are here..."

"I want to buy a box of rouge. I wonder if I could help Miss Dong choose it for me." Wang Xiuyuan said calmly without changing his expression.

"Oh, I wonder who you want to give this rouge to?" Miss Dong looked at Wang Xiuyuan with a smile and looked directly into his eyes.

"Of course it's my sweetheart!" Wang Xiuyuan blurted out.

Although he prided himself on being romantic and suave, he had never seen such a woman. Her eyes seemed to have hooks, and those who looked at her were distracted.

Because Wang Xiuyuan's family was poor and he was determined to obtain fame, he had never been to such a gentle village, but come to think of it, even the girl in that building was nothing more than this!

When Miss Dong heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed. After laughing, she said: "Then I will make a good choice for your 'sweetheart'!"

After saying that, she carefully selected from the pile of rouges and tried the colors on her hands one by one.

Wang Xiuyuan was watching with a smile on his face, a gentle look on his face.

Finally, Miss Dong finally selected a box among the pile of rouge and handed it to Wang Xiuyuan.

Wang Xiuyuan handed Yanzhi to the waiter to pay the bill without even looking at it.

Sure enough, the price of what Miss Dong was looking for was not cheap, a small box of rouge cost two taels of silver.

Wang Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had just taken a few taels of silver from his mother before going out in the morning, otherwise he wouldn't have enough money to pay the bill.

At this time, the waiter also packed a bunch of powder that Miss Dong had purchased into a box and handed it to the maid next to him. Wang Xiuyuan was self-aware and did not dare to say that he wanted to discuss the accounts together, so he invited Miss Dong to the teahouse opposite to have a rest. .

Miss Dong did not refuse. Wang Xiuyuan could not sit across from Miss Dong in public, so he asked the waiter to open a private room.

Although there were two maids nearby, although they didn't talk much while drinking tea in the private room, they had fought so many lawsuits over each other that when Wang Xiuyuan left the teahouse, he felt that his legs were weak. .

Before leaving, he took out the box of rouge he had just bought at the powder store and gave it to Miss Dong: "It's a small gift for a beautiful woman. It's not disrespectful, so please accept it with a smile!"

Miss Dong didn't seem surprised when she saw this. She had seen countless men since her divorce. This Wang Xiucai was the most pleasing to her eyes. He was good-looking and could talk. It was said that he was also very talented and learned. However, he just heard that The family is a little poor, and they still have a wife.

However, this is not a problem. The Dong family has plenty of money. Her dowry is enough to support a small wealthy family. What should I be afraid of if I have a wife? Isn’t it possible to get divorced or reconcile?

So, Miss Dong accepted the box of rouge and smiled brightly at Wang Xiuyuan: "Don't always call me Miss Dong. You can call me by my name. My name is Dong Yuee!"
