Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Chance Encounter
The sisters walked a short distance and saw a ready-to-wear shop, Han Qi pulled Han Man over, and when they arrived at the door, they turned their heads to Luo Yingdao,
"There are a lot of people in this shop, and there will be more people when you go in, so you just stand guard in front of the door, and wait for me and my fifth sister to go in!" Luo Ying nodded and guarded the door with the two mothers-in-law.
The two sisters walked into the shop hand in hand, the business in the shop was just right, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er were a little overwhelmed, and when they saw another guest entering the store, they had to say hello and let the guests choose by themselves.
Han Qi's gaze swept over several men's ready-to-wear clothes, and he thought secretly,
"He is riding a horse, thinking that the cold wind must be very cold, if it is rainy and snowy, it is even more difficult, always choose some thick and wearable clothes!"
I picked some left and right that were not satisfactory, and at this time, the shopkeeper finally had to come over, and when he saw Han Qi's eyes lingering on the men's clothes, he smiled and said,
"Miss, but you choose clothes for your father and brother at home?"
Han Qi glanced at Han Man, who was attracted by the flowers, and nodded,
"Exactly, I don't know that the shopkeeper has thicker clothes for people to hurry?"
The shopkeeper smiled,
"It turned out that Miss's father and brother were going to go far away, although the clothes outside were good-looking, but after all, the cold was worse, if Miss was not in a hurry, she could customize a ......"
Han Qi responded,
"If it can be done within three days, it will be too late, if it is a long time, it will be too late!"
The answer of the shopkeeper,
"This is easy to do, our clothes here are cut and shaped by the garment masters in the garment workshop according to the style, and they only need to be sewn, and if the young lady wants to add some silver urgently, they will receive it within three days!"
Han Qi said happily when he heard this,
"That's great!"
At the moment, four sets of men's clothes were ordered, and one set was set for Han Shifeng, one set for Han Jinyue, who was going home during the New Year's Festival, and two sets for Wei Wu.
Because it is a set thick winter coat, the size does not have to be too close, just tell the shopkeeper about the height, shortness, fat and shortness, and the master in the garment workshop will naturally scale the size according to the rules, but there has always been no difference.
Han Qi ordered the clothes, paid the money, and chose a ready-made winter coat for Han Man, paid the silver before coming out, and carefully put away the voucher for taking the clothes, and prepared to pick it up three days later.
Seeing that he had finished his clothes and turned around a few shops, he arrived in front of Biyan Zhai, Han Qi just stepped forward and wanted to go inside, but he heard someone shouting behind him,
"Sister Qi!"
The voice was very familiar, and when she looked back, it was Xia Xiaomei with a smile on her face, Xia Xiaomei saw Sister Han Qi, and came over with a smile and hugged her arm.
"Today I was lucky to stay at home, and suddenly my mind moved and I wanted to go out and go around, and I met you...... This must be something we have in mind! ”
No matter how Han Qi answered, he bent down and pinched Han Man's little face,
"Little Fifth Sister, it seems that she has grown taller again recently!"
Han Man knew this interesting sister and smiled sweetly at her, Xia Xiaomei saw that she didn't like it, bent down to pick her up, kissed her on the cheek and said,
"What does Little Fifth Sister want to eat? What do you want to play? Today, your sister Xia is all covered! ”
Han Man was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged her neck and called her sister, coaxing Xia Xiaomei to smile and squint, and said to Han Qi,
"It's already a holiday, why don't you go to my house tonight, and the three of us will sleep together!"
Han Man nodded again and again, how dare Han Qi spend the night outside, shook his head and smiled,
"Now that the family is busy preparing the second sister's dowry, I am also busy sneaking out for a walk, but I don't dare to spend the night outside!"
Xia Xiaomei laughed again when she heard it,
"I said why didn't I see the eldest sister and the second sister going out today, it turned out that I was preparing a dowry at home......"
turned around and kissed Han Man again, and said to her,
"Little Fifth Sister went back and told your second sister that she didn't send the same dowry, and our Xia family welcomed her in as usual!"
Han Man seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and nodded solemnly after listening to her advice,
"Good!"
Seeing this, Han Qi smiled dumbly and said,
"Don't really let the second sister hear this, now that she is embroidering the dowry at home, she can't help but not embroider after listening to your words!"
Han Jun's idea of craftsmanship, do some threads, lock the edge of the corner of the craft is good, really let her embroider the whole pattern, but the things taken out are a little miserable, Wang for his daughter to go to her mother-in-law's house in the future will not be laughed at, this time is a black face day by day supervising the embroidery of the second daughter, now Han embroidery is married, will not go to the academy again, before she gets married, she will also stare at Han Jun with Wang.
Now Han Jun's life can be called dire and dire, with her temperament, if she listens to Xia Xiaomei's words, I'm afraid that she will really pick on her son and quit!
Xia Xiaomei listened to it and was very much in agreement,
"Who stipulates that the daughter's family needs to be able to needlework, and I won't either, the dowry embroidery work in the future can be sold outside, so why embarrass yourself!"
Han Qi laughed and said nothing,
At this time, I am a delicate girl at home, my parents connived and couldn't bear to be harsh, and when I married into someone else's house, I just treated you well and separated by a layer of belly, but where there are some small flaws, it is also regarded as a big mistake, in order for my daughter to live a better life in her mother-in-law's house in the future, before her daughter gets married, she must always teach her some skills such as tea and rice or female celebrity or bookkeeping and so on, so as not to be disgusted by her mother-in-law in the future, and be idle!
Women like them from official families, although there are slaves and maids waiting for them, they will not be like the daughters-in-law of the common people, who have to serve food in the stove and make clothes, shoes and socks for the whole family, but they still have to have something to take out their hands and fool the scene.
Xia Xiaomei has this remark, and she wants to be pampered by her parents at home!
Xia Xiaomei saw that she couldn't drag the Han sisters to her home, but she wasn't annoyed, she just said,
"If your sisters meet me today, they won't be able to run away, and if they don't accompany me until dark, I will never let them go!"
As he spoke, he handed Han Man in his hand into Luo Ying's hand, and pointed to a little girl behind him,
"Qingyan, you and this sister are taking good care of my little fifth sister!"
The little girl named Qingyan hurriedly answered and followed Luo Ying's side, Xia Xiaomei turned around and took Han Qi's arm, the two of them walked ahead first, and asked,
"Where are you going?"
Han Qi responded,
"But feel free to wander around anywhere!"
Xia Xiaomei smiled,
"Even if you just go shopping, I will arrange it, I have grown up on this Fuqing Street since I was a child, and I know best which restaurant is delicious, where the juggling is good, and where the troupe is good, and I will arrange it today!"
After that, he pulled Han Qi and left......
On this day, Han Qi really stayed until dark before returning home, it was already more than half of the unitary hour, and the family was waiting for her to come back for dinner, Han Qi stepped forward to salute the Wang family with a face full of shame,
"Mother, my daughter is late!"
Wang smiled,
"It's okay, you're rarely loose, but you're having fun today?"
Han Qi nodded and said,
"I met the sister of the Xia family outside, and I missed the time when I was playing......"
Han Jun was extremely envious when he heard this,
"You're all right now, and you can go out if you want, but ...... Second sister, I am sitting in the city of sorrow, and I am going to be aggrieved and sick! ”
Hearing this, Wang glared at her,
"If you still can't get a decent embroidery job, even if you are sick in bed, you have to embroider for me!"
Han Jun pouted, quietly made a grimace at Han Man, made Han Man giggle, and said,
"Mother is really eccentric!"
Wang Shi didn't respond angrily,
"I treat you all the same, how can my daughter's family marry without being a woman, I don't have to make my mother-in-law's family laugh, and I will take care of your third sister when she marries in the future!"
Han Qi is honest, obedient and obedient, not like the second child who is angry with her when she has nothing to do, her heart has been faintly hurting these days!
Turning his head and ignoring Han Jun again, he instructed his mother-in-law to invite the master in the study to come out for dinner, Han Shifeng was invited out, and asked about Han Qi's outside today, I heard that he met someone from the Xia family, so he remembered to say to Wang,
"I'm not at home tomorrow for dinner......"
Han Shifeng is often socialized in officialdom, but Wang didn't care, and asked casually,
"Which colleague invited the master to drink?"
Han Shifeng responded,
"It's Xia Sicheng who invited me to drink!"
Wang raised his eyebrows,
"It turned out that the future in-laws invited the master to eat and drink, but there is something to discuss?"
Is it because of the changes in the affairs of the children's families?
Han Shifeng Dao,
"I don't know, I don't know if I want to chat about nothing, I used to have some contacts, but now that I am an in-law, I naturally have to be closer!"
Wang nodded,
"That's the case, the master needs to remember to drink less and eat more vegetables, be careful!"
Han Shifeng nodded yes, such a family had nothing to say, bowed their heads to eat.
It wasn't until the night of the second day that Han Shifeng pushed the door with a body of alcohol, and Wang woke up from his sleep, and while getting up and instructing his mother-in-law to prepare hot water, he met Han Shifeng, who was flushed.
"Master, how did you get here today?"
Today should be to rest at Miao's place, if Han Shifeng returns late, he will not alarm the Wang family, and go straight to Miao's room, Han Shifeng opened his arms and let her untie her clothes, and responded,
"Xia Hong invited to eat and drink today, it is true that there is something to discuss, I didn't answer him at the time, come back and talk to you!"
Wang Shi replied,
"What is the matter? But because of the marriage of the children? ”
But something else has changed, right?
Han Shifeng shook his head and said,
"It's not because of the marriage of their children, but because of their little daughter!"
Wang Shiqidao,
"What's the matter with the third lady of the Xia family?"
Han Shifeng Dao,
"It's not very difficult to say, but I have to come back and talk to you about it!"
It's not difficult, but Xia Xiaomei's age is not young, the first two brothers became relatives, and it should be the sister's turn to get married, but Xia Xiaomei's temperament is even more jumpy than Han Jun, and she is a family spoiled, Mrs. Xia can't take her, so she wants to send her to the academy to accept her temperament!
Wang frowned when he heard this,
"The Xia family, this is ...... Do you want to send the third lady to Chengsheng Academy? ”
Han Shifeng nodded and said,
"Exactly!"
