After lunch, Zhang Shuhua sent silver taels and cloth.

Chen Wen had just finished washing the dishes, stood up and shook off his hands, and when he glanced at it, he was frightened by Zhang Shuhua standing by the door frame.

patted his frightened chest, "Sister Shuhua, you scared me, why is it silent, why did you come so soon?" ”

"Yes, but you didn't hear it." Zhang Shuhua smiled brightly, "It's okay to be idle, so I'll send it to you early." ”

Then he stuffed the copper plate for her first, and the cloth was wrapped in some weight, and Chen Wen didn't look at it or count it, so he stuffed it into the small pocket of his clothes.

She was more interested in the red cloth. Reaching out to take the cloth that Zhang Shuhua was holding, it was a finger thick, Chen Wen touched its material with his hand, and opened it again to look at it.

There are no dark lines, the pure red is very white, and the material is coarse cloth, but compared to her body, Zhang Shuhua does not grind her hands, the material is better, and the cotton is not mixed with other fabrics.

"My mother pulled three meters six, is it enough to make clothes?"

"There will be a surplus."

Visually inspect Zhang Shuhua, about three meters is enough.

As soon as Chen Wen touched this cloth, he had the rudiments of clothes in his head, and Zhang Shuhua must be very beautiful after wearing it.

"Will there be a surplus? Then you have to cut my hijab for the extra part? ”

"Okay."

Chen Wen readily agreed, took out the string that tied the burlap bag just now from his sleeve, and asked Zhang Shuhua to turn around.

"I'll measure you."

Zhang Shuhua turned around and stood and stretched out her hands, because there was no soft ruler at home, Chen Wen used a thin rope and made a mark on it after measuring it.

Zhang Shuhua was much taller than Chen Wen, Chen Wen stood on tiptoe slightly, and finally measured the width of her shoulders.

"Sister Shuhua, what do you want to embroider on your wedding dress?"

"Ask me? Don't you embroider mandarin ducks? ”

Mandarin duck? Chen Wen thought about it carefully, it is not impossible to embroider mandarin ducks, it is quite pleasing, "I'm just afraid that you will not be satisfied with the patterns I embroidered, but mandarin ducks can." ”

"Ah......" Zhang Shuhua waved her hand, "I didn't mean that, I thought you were going to embroider mandarin ducks." ”

"Huh?"

"The wedding dresses I've seen are usually embroidered with two mandarin ducks, or nothing at all." Marriage in the countryside is like this.

Chen Wen raised her eyebrows and was speechless, she tried to imagine that the clothes that were all red or only had two mandarin ducks were too monotonous.

My parents used to make Chinese-style wedding dresses, and they were all embroidered with gold threads, such as auspicious clouds and phoenixes, etc., and the embroidery was full of pieces, which was called good-looking.

It's just that her ability is limited now and she can't afford to use gold thread, but it's still okay to use cotton thread, but it's time-consuming and eye-consuming.

Thankfully, there are still two months to go.

"Then what does Sister Shuhua's wedding dress look like, how about embroidered auspicious clouds? What about goldfish? As long as I can. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

Zhang Shuhua thought about it carefully, remembering that a few years ago, she followed her father to the county seat to deliver rice, and met the bride who came out of the sedan chair with lotus flowers embroidered on her hijab.

There are two lotus flowers, but they are embroidered on the same stem, she asked her father what kind of flower it was, and her father didn't know, or the person next to her explained, saying that it was a lotus, and it meant to be forever tied together.

This is what she remembers to this day.

"Speaking of which, I really wanted, I have seen the bride's hijab embroidered with Tilian, and I thought it was beautiful, if only I could have it on my wedding dress."

She still thinks that the bride's wedding dress and hijab are beautiful.

"And Tillian?"

"That's right, two lotus flowers grow on the same stem, have you ever seen a real lotus?"

"Yes."

And Tilian is not common in modern times, and it was still before she crossed over, and she saw that rare thing when she took her children to the park to sketch.

"You've seen it?" Zhang Shuhua was surprised, she heard that this flower is not good to grow, or it grows in the back garden of the noble, she has only seen it on other people's clothes, and she has never seen a real flower!

Hey, this little girl is not very old, she has seen a lot, and she can make clothes and embroidery, if she wasn't thin when she first came, and her clothes were not good, the village chief also said that she was from Chenqiao Village, and she would think that this was the daughter of a family.

However, look at it this way, the conditions at home should be good before the disaster.

Seeing Zhang Shuhua's surprised reaction, Chen Wen instantly understood, it seems that this flower was not common in ancient times.

Chen Wen patted his head, annoyed that he couldn't speak enough.

In fact, after Zhang Shuhua expressed her surprise, she thought about it again, afraid that Chen Wen would remember what she was sad about before, so she skipped this topic.

She took out the purse in her arms, held it in her hand, checked it up and down, slightly cramped, and put the purse in Chen Wen's hand.

"What is this?" Chen Wen was puzzled, didn't he give money.

"This is my little heart, I really like the clothes you make, I also know that it is not easy to get a stitch and a thread, and sixty copper plates are too little, this is a little pocket money I saved, not much, for you."

The purse is the size of Chen Wen's palm, a little weight, and there should be a lot of copper plates inside.

The edge of the purse is a little off the line, it can be seen that the craftsmanship of the person who made it is not good, and then look at the degree of damage to the opening of the purse, Zhang Shuhua should usually open it very often.

How could Chen Wen accept it, the price had already been set, how could he 'teach and receive it privately'.

Chen Wen stuffed it back into her hand and righteously refused, "I don't want it." ”

"Why?" Zhang Shuhua was a little surprised, the first time she saw that a child would refuse Xiao Linghua, it was not for nothing, it was she who asked her.

"We've already negotiated the price, and I'm not going to take it. This looks like you've been saving for a long time, and besides, in the future, if you marry into a neighboring village, you'll have to have some money, and you'll keep it, it's always good. ”

Zhang Shuhua was stunned by what she said, and after a while, she felt funny and rubbed the top of her soft hair, "What's the matter, you are only a few years old, and you are so good at reasoning." ”

"I'm not too small." Chen Wen turned his head to dodge her hand.

Being touched by a girl who was only nineteen years old, this was the first time in his life, Chen Wen felt aggrieved.

Don't think that if you call you sister, you are really a sister, do you know how old I am, a few years older than you, just rushing through this matter, life experience is definitely richer than you.

You're a stinking little girl in my eyes!

Ah, though the little girl is taller than she is now, and will be married soon.

"It's not small, and in a few years, I should get married and have children." Li Suniang came out of the house and happened to hear Chen Wen's words, so she responded to her.

"......" Chen Wen thought that in ancient times, when she was married at a young age, she would never marry and have children in her teens!

Zhang Shuhua shouted Grandma Li.

"Shuhua also grew up watching me, and she is going to get married so soon, but the young man who married you is good, and he looks honest."

"Grandma Li has seen it?"

"Seen from afar."

"Let's take a closer look next time."

"Okay!"

Zhang Shuhua completed the task, and didn't stay long, so she said to Chen Wen, "When will I come to pick up the clothes?" ”

"Within a month." Chen Wen thought about it, hand embroidery, it might be very difficult, and then said, "If I finish it, I will send it to your house when the time comes." ”

Zhang Shuhua thought about it, anyway, the two families were not far apart, so she agreed.
