Nan family.

"What are you embroidering?"

Nan Jiamu walked behind Nan Yuan, looked at the embroidery in Nan Yuan's hand, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Nan Yuan looked back and saw Nan Jiamu staring at the veil in her hand. She replied, "Embroidering the veil."

"Originally, I should have made the wedding dress myself, but I'm not good at embroidery, so my mother and Yue Ran helped me embroider it. Only the veil is left."

"After all, it's me getting married, so I still have to do something."

After Nan Yuan finished speaking, she lowered her head and began to embroider stitch by stitch according to the pattern her mother had given her.

It is said that the veil embroidered by the newlyweds themselves will bless them with a happy life. Nan Yuan didn't believe it at first, but she couldn't resist her mother's request to let her embroider it. She couldn't persuade her mother and had to do it herself.

"Are you planning to go out wearing this in three days?" Nan Jiamu sat aside and took the veil from Nan Yuan's hand. His expression became more and more complicated the more he looked at it.

Nan Yuan took the veil back and said, "It's just a formality. I won't be in public for a long time, so it doesn't matter what I wear."

"Besides, isn't it because of you that my embroidery skills are so bad now?"

"Who told you to take me out to play every day when my mother was teaching me embroidery? My embroidery skills are not good now, and you have to bear most of the responsibility."

Nan Jiamu raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you blame me for this?"

"Shouldn't I be blamed?"

“It’s right, it’s right.” Nan Jiamu had no choice but to admit it.

Seeing this, Nan Yuan smiled and continued embroidering.

But when my eyes fell on this exquisite red veil, I felt mixed emotions.

Nan Jiamu keenly noticed Nan Yuan's emotional changes and said, "It's not too late to regret now."

Regret?

That won’t happen.

Nan Yuan never regrets the decisions she makes.

"I'm not regretting anything. I just suddenly feel reluctant to leave home." Nan Yuan lowered her head to embroider the veil. In a moment of carelessness, the needle pierced her flesh, and blood fell on the veil, leaving a dark mark.

"Why are you so careless?" Nan Jiamu frowned, looking at the blood beads on Nan Yuan's fingers, feeling a little annoyed.

Nan Yuan wiped the blood off her hands, adjusted her mood, and said, "It's just a prick, it's not a big deal."

"It's a pity about this veil. I had embroidered half of it, and now it's dirty and completely ruined."

"And it seems that there is only this little bit of cloth left. I have to buy more cloth." Nan Yuan sighed.

Suddenly, Nan Yuan's eyes lit up and she looked at Nan Jiamu.

Nan Jiamu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Brother, you helped me get by when I couldn't finish my embroidery before. Now you should also help me. Anyway, my embroidery is not good and mother can't see it. Okay, brother?"

"I remember that your embroidery when you were a child was much more beautiful than mine!"

Nan Jiamu's face flashed with a strange expression, and then he said, "It's been so many years, how could I still remember it?"

"Besides, I have been holding swords and guns for so many years, how can I hold an embroidery needle?"

Nan Jiamu pushed away the veil that Nan Yuan handed over and refused with a cold face.

Nan Yuan sighed again, but did not force him, and said, "Fine, forget it if you don't want to help. It's still early, and I can embroider it myself."

Nan Yuan stood up and walked outside.

"What are you going to do?"

"Buy needles and thread and cloth. We don't have any extra of these."

Looking at Nan Yuan's receding back, Nan Jiamu's gaze fell on the veil again. He looked at it for a long time, exhaled, and seemed to have made a decision.

He reached out to take it, and pretended to embroider the veil.

"It's just embroidering a veil, how difficult can it be?"

As he spoke, he began to embroider.

However, it didn't take long before his hands were pierced with several holes, and when he looked at the veil again, the crooked patterns were unbearable to look at.

on the street.

"Miss, the place in front is the Jinxiu Shop where Madam often goes. There are all kinds of fabrics and silk threads there." Yue Ran introduced to Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan nodded: "Then let's go directly to Jinxiufang."

The master and his two servants were walking towards Jinxiufang when suddenly a thin man rushed out from the crowd, bumped into Nan Yuan, pulled out the hairpin on her head and ran away.

"girl!"

"Miss, are you okay?" Yue Ran supported Nan Yuan, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Nan Yuan steadied herself, looked at the little thief, and felt something was wrong.

But at this time, Bai Zhi shouted: "Catch the thief!"

"Don't run!"

She reacted quickly and chased after him immediately.

"Bai Zhi, come back!" Nan Yuan shouted from behind, but Bai Zhi had already run away.

It was obvious that this man had a purpose, otherwise why would he just snatch a hairpin instead of the purses in their hands?

Nan Yuan didn’t know what the little thief’s purpose was, but she definitely wanted to lure them to chase him.

It was just a hairpin, Nan Yuan didn’t care. It didn’t matter whether she could get it back or not.

But now that Bai Zhi has gone after her, she can no longer sit idly by and let Bai Zhi fall into danger alone.

"Yueran, you go home to find my brother, and I'll go find Baizhi."

Nan Yuan patted Yue Ran's hand and chased after her.

Yue Ran stood there in a daze, then realized what Nan Yuan meant and ran back.

Nan Yuan followed Bai Zhi inside, turned into several alleys, and suddenly heard a loud noise.

"Add money!"

"Calling the price!"

There were few people on the whole street, except for one store which was bustling with people.

Nan Yuan looked up and saw the words "Zuiyunfang" written on the plaque.

After a little thought, and considering the expressions of the people around her, Nan Yuan roughly knew where this place was.

She had no intention of lingering in such a place. She just looked around, searching for Bai Zhi in the crowd.

"girl!"

A voice came from the side and behind. Nan Yuan turned around and saw Bai Zhi walking towards her.

"Miss, why did you come to a place like this?" Bai Zhi looked around, and then realized that she was a little scared. She hugged Nan Yuan's arm and said, "I followed her and lost her. I didn't get the hairpin back."

"I came to find you." Nan Yuan was relieved after seeing Bai Zhi. "It's just a hairpin. If it's lost, it's lost. Don't chase after it if you encounter this kind of thing in the future. Do you understand?"

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Then let's go."

"it is good."

When Nan Yuan was about to leave with Bai Zhi, the atmosphere in the workshop suddenly became heated. She followed the crowd's gaze and saw that on the auction stage, the courtesan was like a lotus emerging from water, wearing a thin gauze skirt, graceful and charming.

The courtesan's eyes were moist and her lips were smiling, as if a bright moon illuminated the entire brothel. Her appearance immediately set off the atmosphere in the venue, and the young men competed to bid, and the voices rose and fell, making it very lively.

"Five hundred taels!" a young man shouted loudly, waving the golden fan in his hand with great heroism.

"Six hundred taels!" The other young man was not willing to be outdone and directly raised the price, obviously determined to win the courtesan.

Everyone was talking about the beauty's rising price. Some young men blushed and were very excited, while others were calm and confident.

The courtesan was on the stage, her eyes moving around, as if she was already accustomed to all this. She suddenly locked onto Nan Yuan's position and smiled gently at her, like a spring breeze.

Nan Yuan frowned, looked away, and was about to leave with Bai Zhi.

"Girl, please stay!"

The Oiran shouted loudly.
