The job of measuring the size is very intimate, especially when Su Xiaoman is more than half a head shorter than the man, when he measures the width of his shoulders, Lu Li stands straight and refuses to cooperate, Xiaoman has to stretch his arms on tiptoe.

Shoulder width, arm length, plus waist circumference, Xiaoman's face became redder and redder every time, and finally the measurement was finished, she breathed a sigh of relief, took the brush on the side and recorded the data on the paper.

"Xiaoman, didn't you buy a few other colors last time, you don't make clothes yourself?" Lu Li put on a padded jacket and asked while buttoning it.

Xiaoman lowered his head to write, and said without raising his head: "I still have a padded jacket that I just made last year, and I won't make it this year." ”

She has already planned to buy some cotton by the way when she goes to the city to deliver embroidery tomorrow, and then make two padded jackets for Lu Li and two padded jackets for her father, so that they can also have a good change of clothes, and when spring comes, she will make cotton clothes for her father.

Anyway, there are still a lot of fabrics at home, so it should be enough for two people.

By the way, Xiao Man suddenly thought of something, she raised her head to look at Lu Li, and asked carefully: "I make clothes for my father and use our fabrics, is it okay?" ”

"It's all something you buy with money, and it's naturally at your disposal." Lu Li frowned, "It's just Xiaoman, you really don't make clothes for yourself?" Wouldn't it be a pity to buy the fabric? ”

Xiaoman smiled and didn't care: "It's okay, it doesn't matter what I wear, just wear something." ”

That being said, Xiaoman is a girl after all, although she looks good in whatever she wears, but if she doesn't care about dressing up because she follows herself, then Lu Li still has some regrets in her heart.

However, looking at Xiaoman's appearance, it seems that he has really made up his mind not to make clothes for himself, and Lu Li is still a little pity.

Early the next morning, the husband and wife went directly to the city after breakfast, because they had been there many times, the two were already familiar with the road, and there were few people who went out in winter, so the two soon arrived at Tianyi Pavilion.

As usual, he handed the handkerchief to the shopkeeper Zhao, and the shopkeeper went to the back to settle the silver taels, and Xiaoman and Lu Li were waiting on the side.

"Miss Su, this is the silver money from last time, you have taken it." Shopkeeper Zhao wrapped the silver in a cloth bag and sent it to Xiao Man's hand as usual, smiling.

Xiao Man took the money, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhao, then since there is nothing else, we will go first." ”

With that, the two turned around and were about to leave.

"Miss Su, wait a minute." Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly stopped, and then he walked up to the two of them and bowed a little embarrassedly, "Miss Su, I don't know if you can make a tiger head hat?" It's the kind of little hat that children wear. ”

Su Xiaoman frowned, "Yes, yes, it's just that it's not popular to wear a tiger head hat on our side, and it takes a long time to make a tiger head hat, plus tiger head shoes, the two things add up, and it will take at least seven or eight days to do it." ”

The old palace maid in the palace will do this, and naturally she has also taught Xiaoman, but few children here in Taoyuan County wear tiger head hats, and the family does not value these, so Xiaoman only made a few when he was learning embroidery, and then never did it again.

Hearing her say that she would do it, Shopkeeper Zhao was relieved, and he looked at Xiaoman with a smile: "Miss Su, don't worry, time is not a problem, and price is not a problem, as long as you can do it." ”

It turned out that a few days ago, two couples from other places came to the store to do business, and they searched the entire county but did not find a store that could make tiger head hats.

But then, Shopkeeper Zhao regretted it a little, in case Xiaoman didn't do it, wouldn't it be shameful and dishonest?

But fortunately, Su Xiaoman really learned.

"The customer paid a very high price, a tiger head hat and a pair of tiger head shoes a total of eighty-eight taels of silver, this time I promised a little abrupt, so this time the division is according to you nine and I one, Miss Su, what do you think?" Zhao's shopkeeper can be regarded as full of sincerity.

Eighty-eight taels of silver, Su Xiaoman was indeed moved.

As long as you are busy for seven or eight days, you can get more than seventy taels of silver, which is much more profitable than just embroidering a handkerchief.

Su Xiaoman bit his lip and looked at Lu Li again, the man looked like you are in charge, Xiaoman weighed it again and again in his heart, and decided to accept it.

"That's great, Miss Su..... It's amazing! Shopkeeper Zhao was excited for a while and didn't know how to praise Su Xiaoman, he praised Su Xiaoman while asking the guy to bring the size, "This is the child's size, please refer to Miss Su." ”

As he spoke, he took a money bag from the side, "This is a deposit, and I ask Miss Su to accept it first, so that I can buy some fine cloth and embroidery thread." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper Zhao, then I'll come back in eight days, and I won't come to hand over embroidery during this time." Su Xiaoman took the money bag and put it in, pursed his lips and smiled.

After greeting the shopkeeper Zhao again, the husband and wife left Tianyi Pavilion and simply went to buy cotton, so it was better to buy cotton and embroidery thread for tiger hats together.

The shop run by Zhao's shopkeeper is a ready-to-wear shop, although it also sells fabrics, but there is no cotton, so Su Xiaoman and Lu Li can only walk to another street to buy it.

When he arrived at the cloth shop, Xiao Man quickly began to pick cotton, while Lu Li seemed a little absent-minded.

"Xiaoman, I'll go outside and look for you later, don't walk around."

Xiao Man subconsciously turned to look at the man, "What are you going to do, is there anything else you haven't bought?" ”

Lu Li nodded his head, his eyes dodging unnaturally, "Some things for hunting, I'll just buy them myself, you are good here, don't walk around." ”

"You know, I'm not going anywhere." Xiao Man smiled sweetly at the man, and watched him leave before continuing to pick cotton.

Xiao Man naturally doesn't understand the things he uses for hunting, but he is very proficient in things like cotton, cloth and embroidery thread.

Because the customer is a generous businessman, then this tiger head hat naturally cannot be ambiguous, from the fabric to the embroidery thread, naturally to choose the best.

Xu has been picking for a long time, and the guy over there complained: "Girl, do you buy it or not, pick and choose, this cotton is about to be blackened by you, how can we sell it to others!" ”

Su Xiaoman smiled apologetically, "Do you still have better cotton and embroidery thread here?" I don't think that's good enough. ”

"Of course there are better ones, can you afford them?" The young man raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he seemed to be about to raise his tail to the sky.

The guy glanced coldly, looked at Su Xiaoman who was wearing a coarse cloth skirt and a half-worn indigo blue cotton jacket, and glanced at the wooden hairpin on her head again, and the guy let out a disdainful cold snort again.

How is it possible to afford the best cotton and embroidery threads in such a dress.

"Shopkeeper, bring out the best embroidery thread you have here!"

Xiao Man wanted to refute the guy, but before she could speak, a crisp female voice suddenly came from the door, which sounded somewhat familiar.

She turned around, but saw that the person who came was actually Mrs. Wei whom she had seen before.

Mrs. Wei was also very surprised to see Su Xiaoman, she didn't care about choosing embroidery thread, so she hurriedly broke away from the maid's support and stepped forward, with a pair of bright eyes with a surprise that could not be hidden, "Miss Xiaoman, I didn't expect to meet you here, did you come to buy embroidery thread too?" ”

Seeing such a graceful and elegant lady taking the initiative to greet Su Xiaoman, the face of the guy over there had already changed and changed, and he was ashamed of boiling red shrimp.

I originally thought that this little girl was a poor girl from the countryside, so the guy thought about sending her away as soon as possible, but he didn't want her to know such a noble lady, in case she wanted to make a fuss about it later, and she would not be scolded by the shopkeeper? Dude regretted it.

"Mrs. Wei, what a coincidence." Su Xiaoman was also very surprised, she didn't expect that a lady like Mrs. Wei would go out to buy embroidery thread in person, and she thought that the wives of such big families were all sending maids out of the house.

But thinking about it, this Mrs. Wei is different from the lady of a big family in her impression, and she goes out to buy things in person, which is understandable when she thinks about it.

While the two were talking, the guy over there removed all the things that were originally on the counter and replaced them with embroidery thread and cotton of obviously different grades, "Madam, these are all fine embroidery threads and cotton, you can choose by yourself." ”

As he spoke, the guy who was originally looking down on people also laughed twice, "Girl, this is the best cotton in our store, are you satisfied with it?" ”

Su Xiaoman stared at the guy for a while, and then told the other party to lower his head in shame and remorse.

Mrs. Wei didn't know what had happened in the store before, looking at the soft and white cotton, she smiled and beckoned Xiao Man to come over, "Miss Su, look at these cotton, if you make clothes, it will be very warm." ”

"Does Madame want to buy cotton for clothes?" Xiao Man asked curiously.

"Yes, what else am I doing here?" Mrs. Wei smiled at Xiao Man, "It's winter, I specially went out to buy some cotton to make a padded jacket for my father-in-law." ”

It turns out that such a noble lady will also make clothes for her husband herself, Xiaoman once again marveled in his heart.

Looking at Su Xiaoman's somewhat surprised eyes, Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "Do you think about it now, the wife of a rich family also has to make her own clothes, I guess right?" ”

His mind was punctured, and Su Xiaoman blushed embarrassedly.

Seeing her blushing, Mrs. Wei smiled even more at the corner of her mouth, she really didn't expect that she was still a blushing little girl, and she was already married to a woman.

Mrs. Wei touched the cotton and explained while picking the embroidery thread: "My husband and I are from other places, and there are no thick clothes at home. ”

Su Xiaoman listened carefully with a pair of big eyes, looked at the deep affection in Mrs. Wei's eyes, and thought: Mrs. Wei and her husband must be very affectionate.

"What about you? Is it also here to pick cotton to make a padded jacket for the father-in-law? Mrs. Wei asked casually.

Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
