Hearing this, Xiao Le hurriedly looked away, lowered his head with flushed cheeks, "I, I didn't mean that."

"I know," Second Brother Xiao lowered his voice, "But what if someone misunderstood it? Right?"

Xiao Le nodded, raised his eyes and looked back, "I think the bead flowers on their heads are pretty, but I can make better ones."

"Pfft... what, what?"

Brother Xiao, who was drinking tea, almost choked to death.

"Well," Xiao Le nodded, "but I need something."

"Third brother," Brother Xiao's expression was a little subtle, "When did you learn all this?"

"You don't need to learn," Xiao Le pointed to his own brain, "I've had this idea since I was a child, and even secretly made it with bamboo sticks, but Xue Silang found out later and laughed at me, so he stopped touching it."

Xue Silang can't blame too much.

"But seeing my mother wearing the dress I wanted, I was so happy, and I felt that I was right. If it can make my mother happy, I can make more."

Xiao Le looked at Second Brother Xiao eagerly.

Brother Xiao rubbed his nose, "Let's go to the place that sells bead flowers and have a look after we're done."

"Good Le!"

Xiao Le immediately let out a big laugh.

Brother Xiao couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

If it hadn't been for what Second Aunt Xiao said, if Second Brother Xiao knew that Xiao Le had these hobbies, he would only be like most people, thinking that he was obscene and lustful.

Now I feel like I'm thinking too much.

The business of the garment store is good, and the store often makes clothes for the family members of the staff.

And when Second Brother Xiao was talking with his friend, Xiao Le discovered that there was a special pattern on the bottom right of the signboard of the tailor shop.

He asked, "Do you have a shop elsewhere?"

The shopkeeper of the clothing store was surnamed Zhao, and the shopkeeper Zhao replied, "There are also cloth shops in Fucheng, and there are also several cloth shops in the towns around us."

"I remember your eldest brother is in Fucheng," Second Brother Xiao remembered.

"That's right," Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm still in favor of my elder brother. His clothing store in Fucheng has a good business, which happens to be here." He pointed to the opposite street, "The business is not very good, I Well, I’m alone, I can’t bear the love of my good wife at home, so I took over the top shop.”

Ranking shop means opening a branch.

The main store is in Fucheng.

"The surrounding towns were opened by our tribe. I just guarded this shop and saw that the business was doing well, but you also know that I got married last year, so there are too many places to use money."

Plus he is a cockfighter.

A lot of money was spent here.

Brother Xiao nodded. The two have known each other for several years, so they naturally know some preferences of each other.

"I'll give you the manuscript paper," Xiao Le turned around, "You have ready-made embroiderers and cloth, you just need to make the first garment and manuscript paper."

Shopkeeper Zhao really had this idea.

Even if the draft paper was good, he was worried that Mrs. Xiao would not be able to make such a dress by herself.

"How much do you want?"

Xiao Le pursed his lips, exchanged a glance with Second Brother Xiao, and stepped forward to speak.

"I just want the manuscript paper silver, for example, how much silver do you think the manuscript paper my second brother showed you last time is worth?"

Shopkeeper Zhao narrowed his eyes, and immediately understood what he meant, "It's novel, if it were me, I would pay 20 taels."

Not only can he sell it himself, but he can also resell it to his elder brother, and then ask for a sum of money. The consumption power in Fucheng is much better than that in this county.

Left and right are blood earned.

"Okay," Xiao Le nodded, "This first manuscript paper, I will give it to you."

Shopkeeper Zhao was taken aback.

"Every season, I will give you five manuscript papers, one for young men, one for girls, one for young ladies, and two for old people. I will ask my second sister-in-law and mother to help make each piece of ready-made clothes and send them to you. After that, you can sell the clothes if you have clothes here."

"As for the price of each manuscript paper," Xiao Le said with a smile, "You are my second brother's friend, I trust you, so you read the manuscript paper and ready-made clothes before giving."

"Perhaps what I said was a little arrogant," Xiao Le said again seeing that shopkeeper Zhao was silent, "but I hope that after you try out the first draft paper, you can decide whether what I just said is feasible or not after seeing the results."

Brother Xiao nodded, "We brought the ready-made clothes."

As he spoke, he opened the bag, and inside was the dress newly made by Mrs. Xiao Er.

When Second Brother Xiao unfolded the dress, shopkeeper Zhao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to touch it, "This is the cloth you bought from me."

"Yes," Second Brother Xiao nodded.

"This one is suitable for the headed wife," Xiao Le said.

"Indeed," shopkeeper Zhao nodded. Although the fabric is not as good as those of the ladies, he can ask the embroiderer to redo it, "Okay, okay! Then we will do what you just said, at most one month, and I will reply to you .”

"Row."

Xiao Le nodded.

Shopkeeper Zhao asked the embroiderer to take it down for a closer look, and began to choose the cloth by himself.

Xiao Le and the two stopped disturbing, and they went to the silver shop selling pearl and flower jewelry.

"When the time comes to open a bead shop, you and the second sister-in-law will be the shopkeepers, and I will collect bonuses at home every month."

Speaking of this, Xiao Le beamed.

I heard Brother Xiao laugh.

The name of this silver building is quite ordinary, it is called Wantong Baolou.

"Second brother, don't care what the guys inside tell you, you can't buy it," Xiao Le reminded Xiao Second before entering, "We bought the materials, and I'll make them for you. What kind of materials do you want to make? It can be done, and then give it to the second sister-in-law and mother, what a great thing."

"Okay, okay, listen to you."

The second brother Xiao saw Xiao Le's lack of stage fright at Shopkeeper Zhao, and he suddenly felt that he should reflect on himself. The third brother was not as lazy as he remembered.

After hearing that they were buying materials, the staff of Wantong Baolou took them to the small room next to the stairs, took out many small boxes, and let Xiao Le choose after opening them.

Xiao Le fell silent after reading it.

The last choice is silver thread and silver hairpin.

When giving the money, Xiao Le looked at Second Brother Xiao.

Brother Xiao's mouth twitched, and he took out the money bag. After spending two taels of silver, there was only one tael of silver left in it.

"It's the second brother's entry fee."

Xiao Le chuckled, and dragged him to shopkeeper Zhao to buy silk cloth and gauze.

I went to buy a pot of wine and a roast chicken, and then drove back to the town in a bullock cart to Sister Xiao's house.

When they arrived at Chen's house, they saw the eldest brother-in-law standing at the gate of the courtyard with a cold face.

Seeing the two of them coming over with wine, the eldest brother-in-law was taken aback.

He looked at Second Brother Xiao.

Brother Xiao shook the wine in his hand, "Looking for a place to have a drink or two?"

The eldest brother-in-law did not speak.

"You don't need to be at home, any other place is fine. We mainly come to drink with you."

Xiao Le smiled.

After the elder brother-in-law was silent for a while, he took them to the Chen family's old house.

The old house was uninhabitable, and a lot of firewood was put in, but the yard was quite clean. The three of them randomly pulled up wooden boards to use as a table, and found lumps of wood as stools.

Xiao Le took out the roast chicken from the basket, while Second Brother Xiao opened the wine, but then the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because there is no bowl.

"Ahem, big brother-in-law, why don't you go back and get three bowls?"

Xiao Le said.

"it is good."

The eldest brother-in-law came over with the bowls and chopsticks. Xiao Le was the youngest, so he filled the wine for the two of them first, and he was the last one.

"Brother-in-law," Second Brother Xiao picked up the wine bowl and looked at him, "It was my fault that I didn't figure out the whole thing before and rushed at you rashly. Here, I offer you a bowl."

After speaking, Second Brother Xiao drank it all in one gulp.

"I would like to respect my elder brother-in-law too," Xiao Le drank it down in one gulp.

After the elder brother-in-law finished drinking, he looked at the two of them silently, "Is this what you guys want to talk about when you come to see me?"

"Brother-in-law," Xiao Le put down the bowl, got a chicken leg for the brother-in-law, and gave the other chicken leg to Brother Xiao, "Our eldest sister has become more and more serious in the past two years, and she doesn't want to listen to some things we say, It's the same when I want to come to you."

Second brother Xiao put the chicken leg back into Xiao Le's bowl, and followed his words, "Yes, there is no doubt about your relationship, but no matter how good the relationship is, it can't stand the torture of suspicion. Brother-in-law, we After thinking about it, I can only look for you first, what happened to you, let the eldest sister keep digging into the horns."

It was almost evening at this time, looking at the sunset on the horizon, the elder brother-in-law picked up the wine bowl and wanted to drink, but saw that there was a chicken leg in it, so he had to put it down, looked at the two brothers and said in a deep voice.

"I know she is worried about the child, and I know what my parents said about her when I was not at home," the eldest brother-in-law sighed, "At first she was willing to tell me, but later even if I stood On her side, she was not happy to refute my parents' words, and then accused me."

"Seeing her like that made me feel uncomfortable," the eldest brother-in-law said of the source of the cold war between the two. "Two months ago, when I just came home, I heard my mother scold her very badly, so I stepped forward to protect her." she……"

Who knew that Sister Xiao didn't appreciate it, and instead accused her brother-in-law of not wanting to have a child with her, otherwise why didn't she worry about it together.

"No matter how I explain it, she feels that I don't think the same way as hers, but I just changed my mind."

The eldest brother-in-law saw that she couldn't listen to her, so he thought about ignoring her for two days, and it happened that there was a need for an accountant in the town. He planned to go there and try. It might be better to live separately.

"I had already lived in the town, but I was always worried about her, so I went back in the evening."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Chen's mother deliberately said that there was a reason why he didn't go home, and told Sister Xiao not to look for anyone.

"I wanted to go in, but do you know what your elder sister said?"

Xiao Le and Second Brother Xiao looked at each other and shook their heads.

The eldest brother-in-law gave Xiao Le the chicken legs, poured himself wine, and said bitterly, "She asked mother to rest early, and said that she would not come to look for me. If I could bring a woman back, she would also be willing to serve her husband together." .”

After hearing this, the eldest brother-in-law was stunned on the spot.

He didn't believe that Sister Xiao was so generous, so he stood outside the courtyard all night.

Just wait for Miss Xiao to go out.

But the other party didn't.

"As soon as it was dawn, I went back to the town."

So much so that it was the mother-in-law's birthday that day, so I forgot.

"I didn't go home, so she came to look for me. I was really happy," the eldest brother-in-law pulled the corner of her mouth, "but she dragged me to my cousin's house, and said that I don't want to live outside, and live with my cousin. so that she can take care of me."

At that time, the eldest brother-in-law was in a hurry, which happened to be the time when Second Brother Xiao met him.
