Chapter 75: Handmade Vestments

Ting He pulled Yue Shu and asked again:
"How many spirit stones do you still need? I'll see if I can make up for it for you."

"It's not that bad, it's okay."

Yue Shu knew that Ting He was just a third-rank palace maid and was not very favored by the old lady, so it was very difficult for her to save up spiritual stones.

She also doesn't want to make things difficult for her sisters.

She thanked Sheng Yanqing again:

"Then such a good Yuanzi is really thanks to you, Brother Sheng."

"Please tell that old scholar that I want that garden."

"When you need to deliver the spirit stones, let me know so I can prepare."

She felt that young men like Sheng Yanqing were extremely rare.

Be grateful, be kind, and treat others sincerely.

At the time, she only considered that he must be very thirsty and tired, so she handed him the water gourd.

Unexpectedly, he still remembered it. Every time she came to Tinghe's house, she could always eat the spiritual animals he hunted.

By now, he had opened the yard to her attention. Such a good yard must be very popular. It was really rare that he could ask the old scholar to keep it for her for some time.

This kind of gratitude is rare in the world.

She was also quite touched.

Sheng Yanqing looked at her with a smile and said:
"No need to thank me."

"Don't worry about the spirit stones. Didn't you say you would get busy once you got back to the Crystal Palace?"

"You take care of your own things first. When the old scholar is about to leave, I will buy it for you first. You can give it to me when you are free."

Yue Shu was also happy in her heart. In such a different world, she would also become a homeowner.

He spent four hundred mid-grade spirit stones in one go. He had never spent so many spirit stones in his life!

Such a major decision, such a big yard that she had always dreamed of, which made her feel safe and secure, her heart suddenly settled down as if she had settled down here.

Yue Shu said to Sheng Yanqing sincerely and seriously:

"Brother Sheng, no matter what, I have to thank you."

"If you really feel guilty about this..."

Sheng Yanqing looked at Yue Shu, a faint smile on his handsome face. He paused and said:
"Before, the Imperial Concubine gave me several pieces of fabric as a reward, but I don't know how to make them. I don't want such good fabrics to be wasted by other shops."

"I've heard that your spiritual embroidery is good, so if you really feel bad about it, can you..."

"Could you please make me two sets of robes? I can pay with spiritual stones..."

Yue Shu said quickly:
"Don't talk about the spirit stones, just give them to me, Brother Sheng!"

"I'm afraid you have too much to do. Sorry to bother you."

Yue Shu smiled and said:
"It's okay. I still have two or three days of vacation left. I'll help you solve it in these few days. You don't have to be afraid."

After all, practice makes perfect. With Yue Shu's current speed, she can make two sets of robes in two days.

Although it was still a bit rushed, after all, Sheng Yanqing's robes did not require as much refinement and ingenuity as the old lady's robes, so she could still make them if she hurried.

Ting He's face was full of anxiety, and he said:
"Can it be completed in just a few days? Don't overwork yourself!" "Not to mention your eyes..."

Yue Shu has always attached great importance to her eyes. Even if she is more dexterous, she would not be so stubborn and stick to her own way.

I still take breaks from time to time, for fear that my eyesight will deteriorate due to working for too long. After all, this is not my previous life and I still have glasses to wear.

Sheng Yanqing looked at Yue Shu without showing any expression, but the hand that was hidden by his sleeve was clenched tightly.

He still said expressionlessly:
"Why don't you just make one first? Two sets are too many. I have another set of vestments here, which is more than enough."

Yue Shu smiled and shook her head, saying gently:

"How can you make just one? You must make two. It's so hot and you have to go out frequently to do errands. That's not a good idea."

Then he pulled Tinghe and comforted her:

"It's okay, it's just two sets, I can accept this workload."

Seeing Yue Shu being so considerate and kind-hearted, Sheng Yanqing felt so silent deep in his heart that he could hardly control himself, like a dormant volcano about to erupt.

He said to Yue Shu with a somewhat apologetic tone:
"I didn't expect that things would become so troublesome for you. My original intention was just..."

Yue Shu quickly interrupted his apology and said to Sheng Yanqing with a smile:
"Okay, stop wasting time. I know what Brother Sheng means, and I don't feel embarrassed."

The three of them sat in the yard, drank spiritual tea, took a moonlight bath, absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and talked for a while before Sheng Yanqing went home.

At this time, Zhang Wei had just come back from bathing and saw the two little girls still whispering. He was very curious and asked:
"What interesting things are you two still sitting here talking about?"

Seeing that the whole family was sitting in the yard, Zhang came over to chat with them, enjoy the cool breeze and cool off.

"Brother Sheng said that the old scholar who wanted to return to his hometown was going to sell his house, so he came to ask if I wanted to buy it."

Yue Shu would have nothing to hide from this elder who was like a father to her. After all, buying a house was such a big deal, and he had been in Crystal City for so many years, so she could ask for his opinion.

"He told me that the house is called Lingzhuyuan, and because the house is urgently sold, it can be bought for only 400 mid-grade spirit stones."

"So I was also very tempted. After all, such a good location near the Crystal Palace is already quite cheap."

"Do you have any comments?"

Zhang Wei thought about it after hearing her words, nodded, and said to Yue Shu:
"It's a nice place. Go take a look at the house on the day it's delivered. If you like it, you can buy it. It's really a good deal."

"Besides, with Sheng Yanqing living next to you, you two will have someone to take care of you, and I will feel much more at ease. And you are just a little girl, so you don't have to worry too much about your safety."

Zhang Wei suddenly thought of something and asked again:

"Do you have enough spirit stones? If not, Uncle Zhang will give them to you first."

"I can get the things I have here and there, and the old lady also gave me a lot of rewards some time ago."

Yue Shu didn't want to tell Zhang Wei and Zhang about the fact that the eldest princess asked her to buy a house. After all, she didn't want to cause trouble, and it would be better if fewer people knew about it.

She also didn't want to tell Zhang that Long Jun gave her and Tinghe a big box each.

Although she wanted to thank Zhang Wei and ask him to speak well of her in front of Long Jun, Zhang was biased towards Tingyu after all.

If she told this matter, it would definitely be a loss to Tinghe.

She and Tinghe treasured those precious jewelry and magic weapons so much, how could they give them to the person who always bullies them!
