Three days later, Yan Xixia took Xiao Lian to Jinyi Pavilion in the south of the city to order a wedding dress. Jinyi Pavilion is the most famous clothing store in Huaihe City, with a wide variety of cloth embroidery thread and clothing styles.

Xiao Lian was measuring the size inside, thinking that he had never done anything or given anything to Yan Xixia, and the only handkerchief he had never given away. This time he came to Jinyi Pavilion, maybe he could buy some cloth and go back to make a cover with his own hands. clothing.

A buddy of the same size as Xiao Lian inquired about the price of the best cloth in Jinyi Pavilion. The buddy said the number, and he was already prepared in his heart, but he was still shocked.Xiao Lian was thinking about his own money, the profit of the embroidery workshop in the past two years is estimated to be only enough to buy the cloth for making a suit, not counting the remuneration for the embroidery thread and the finished clothes.Fortunately, Xiao Lian wanted to make a set of clothes for Yan Xixia by himself, and he owns an embroidery workshop, and there are also good embroidery thread shops, so the money can be saved.

Sitting in the carriage going back, Xiao Lian was still thinking about the cloth in the Jinyi Pavilion, when Yan Xixia suddenly asked, "What are you thinking, madam?"

Xiao Lian replied subconsciously: "The cloth from Jinyi Pavilion."

Yan Xixia knew that Xiao Lian had never worn clothes of this material since she was a child, and thought that Xiao Lian felt that the money was too much: "Madam really don't need to care about those external things, although the Yan family is not as good as before, there is still no need to worry about money. of."

After Yan Xixia finished speaking, she chuckled again: "I remember Madam has a small embroidery workshop. If the Yan Mansion really goes down one day, Madam will have 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 luxury, but it can also guarantee food and clothing. Don't worry."

After hearing Xiao Lian's serious answer, Yan Xixia let out low laughs, her voice was low and gentle, filled with affection: "Madam is so cute."

Xiao Lian heard Yan Xixia's voice praising him with a smile, the deer in his heart seemed to be jumping wildly, and said a little shyly: "I am a man."

Hearing Xiao Lian's words, Yan Xixia recalled that when she first met Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian was scolded by Xiao Xin for embroidering like a woman all day long, fearing that her unintentional words would hurt Xiao Lian's heart, she explained: "Woman You can learn martial arts, and men can also embroider. No one can stipulate that everyone has the same appearance. If my words offend Madam, I apologize first, but I hope Madam can understand that women can be praised for being cool, 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 I care about it, it will be messed up. Madam will laugh at me." Yan Xixia groped for Xiao Lian's hand and held it. "I know Madam's handkerchief is the best embroidered one. I wonder when Madam would like to embroider a handkerchief for me?"

Xiao Lian thought of the handkerchief he hadn't given away: "Actually, I embroidered a handkerchief for you before."

"Huh? Why don't I have an impression?"

"I didn't send it out."

"Does the lady still have that handkerchief?"

"It's still there."

"Then I will have the cheek to ask my wife for it."

"It was originally embroidered for you, and I'll bring it to you when I return home." 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 in Xiao Lian's hands at that time, but it was not as good as the fabric of Jinyi Pavilion.

Yan Xixia smiled and said: "The handkerchief embroidered by Madam herself is not comparable to that of Jinyi Pavilion."

Obviously there was a breeze coming in from the window from time to time in the carriage, but Xiao Lian felt a little hot and dry.

After returning to Yan's mansion, Xiao Lian took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yan Xixia. Yan Xixia felt it carefully with her hand. An animal and five characters were embroidered on the handkerchief. Yan Xixia touched the word and felt the embroidery thread. The protruding track, after figuring out what the word is, suddenly smiled: "Madam embroidered 'horse to success' and a horse? There is also a word 'pity'."

Xiao Lian's voice was imperceptible: "Yes."

Yan Xixia thought of Xiao Lian hiding on his way to the country test that day: "Did you want to give me this handkerchief that day?"

Xiao Lian knew what Yan Xixia meant, blushing and agreed: "Yeah."

"Does the word 'pity' embroidered by the lady represent the 'pity' of the embroidery workshop, or the pity of Xiao Lian?"

Xiao Lian's answer was soft but firm: "Xiao Lian's pity."

Yan Xixia clenched the handkerchief tightly, and suddenly reached out to hold Xiao Lian tightly in her arms, stroked 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 I got married, otherwise what I can marry you."

Xiao Lian hugged Yan Xixia back, and rubbed his face gently in Yan Xixia's arms: "I should hope that your eyes are in good condition, and you continue to take the imperial examination to shine on your family. But there is a despicable villain deep in my heart who is doing it for you again. Blind and cheering, what a selfish person I am."

Yan Xixia kissed Xiao Lian's ear lightly: "I am very happy about your 'selfishness'."

Yan Xixia followed Xiao Lian's ear and kissed her lips carefully and densely, pecking and pecking gently and tenderly. Yan Xixia's kiss was just like his own, gentle and restrained by wind and rain.

The next day Xiao Lian said that he would go to the embroidery workshop, this was the first time he went out to the embroidery workshop in the past few days since he married into Yan's mansion, Yan Xixia of course did not refuse.

In fact, Xiao Lian brought all his money and prepared to go to the Jinyi Pavilion, which is far away in the south of the city.Xiao Lian also didn't want to use the Yan Mansion's carriage, but Yan Xixia must have known that he went to the Jinyi Pavilion after using the Yan Mansion's carriage.

Yan Xixia's mind is bright, and Xiao Lian is not good at lying, so it will definitely be revealed by then.So Xiao Lian went to the market, where there were donkey carts pulling goods to the south of the city every day, as long as they gave some money.

Xiao Lian found a donkey cart carrying goods to the south of the city, and after explaining his purpose, the owner of the donkey cart asked for the price: "One thousand and six hundred cash for a trip, if you take a round trip, at least two hundred cash for you, and only three taels of silver."

"Isn't the market price [-] Wen at a time? Why has it increased by a tael for nothing?" Xiao Lian also knew this, six hundred Wen at a time, and a tael of silver back and forth.

"Don't you see how other people's donkey carts can compare with my donkey cart?" The donkey cart owner pointed to his pretty good donkey cart, and sneered, "Whether 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 wouldn't get any business from below, so he wanted to save some money to pay the Xunqiu couple in the embroidery workshop.Originally, Xiao Lian felt a little bit reluctant to go back and forth for a tael of silver, let alone three taels, it would be nice to save a little.

It took two hours to walk from Yan Mansion to Jinyi Pavilion, and it took almost a day to go back and forth.Originally, Xiao Lian was afraid of wasting time, so he wanted to go with the truck pulling the goods. Now that there is nothing to do, it would be more cost-effective to walk, Xiao Lian bowed his hands 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 some young man, and spat: "I can't even pay three taels of silver."

Xiao Lian was not annoyed, and turned around and left.

Xiao Lian went to the Jinyi Pavilion at noon, went in to pick out some cloth, and paid the money readily, leaving only 25 taels of silver in his purse.Some are lucky that they didn't take the donkey cart, otherwise they wouldn't be able to pay this month's wages.

Xiao Lian went out with the cloth he had bought, and suddenly felt a little guilty. His mother had raised him for so many years, and he had never spent so much money for her.He also thought that after Yufu got the handkerchief next month and paid off the balance, he would have money again, and then he could buy other things for his mother.

Only I didn't think about myself.

Xiao Lian bought two sesame seed cakes to satisfy his hunger, and rushed back after eating. The cloth was placed in the embroidery workshop, but he did not bring it back to Yan's residence.

Xu Shi walked too much during the day, lying on the bed at night, talking to Yan Xixia, fell asleep after 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 he 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 telling him to sleep, but before he could respond, his brain immediately fell asleep.
