Chapter 89 Wedding Clothes
After Hu Yuwei came back, Huer and Baoer were happy for less than a day.

The next day, his father, a juren scholar, called him over to study.

How can these two kids read? !
They were abandoned by Tian Buli and Dou Niang early on, and no one ever expected them to study.

Hu Yuwei had not expected it at first, but after more than a year, he was in high spirits, and with his consecutive successes in imperial examinations, he felt that studying was not difficult, and he forgot about what these two good-for-nothing children were.

It was another noisy incident with chaos and kids getting beaten.

Tian Buli heard the cries of the two children in the next yard, but he could do nothing to help.

Compared to the two stupid kids, the five rabbits are considered smart.

"Okay, that's all for today." As the noise outside became unbearable, Tian Buli said to the five rabbits, "Go and have a rest. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"Thank you, master!" The rabbits quickly jumped off the desk and happily ran to the warm bed to play.

The bed is so big that you can jump on it or jump onto the beams and run around.

Tian Buli didn't care about these rabbits playing around. Just as he was bored in the house, he went to find the Li sisters to listen to some music.

As soon as I arrived at the next yard, I felt that there was an unfamiliar woman in the house.

Tian Buli walked to the door and lifted the curtain, and found five young women standing in the room.

In addition to the Li sisters and a maid, there was another master and servant.

Tian Buli also knew this master and servant. After a little surprise, he politely said, "It's Miss Zhang. Long time no see."

The woman was Zhang Hui, the daughter of Mr. Zhang, the owner of the county cloth shop, and her maid Qiaoer.

Zhang Huizheng was taking her maid Qiao'er to measure Li Hezhen's body. She was saying polite compliments, but her face turned red when she saw Tian Buli.

"Greetings, young master! You are too polite. In front of you, I am just a commoner, not a lady."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, you are too polite. I am not your husband, just a student."

Li Hezhen came over and stood beside Tian Buli, holding a red handkerchief with a mandarin duck pattern in her hand.

"Master, this is the new cloth that Miss Zhang sewed. She is going to buy some clothes for the New Year. Several tailors in the city have sent some clothes. After choosing, I am most satisfied with the craftsmanship of the Zhang family's tailor."

Tian Buli did not organize any ceremony to take a concubine. There was no wedding or any formalities. Even the bridal chamber was just a makeshift one in a carriage.

The Li sisters didn't care about what happened these days, but they also liked to wear beautiful clothes. In addition, there was no wife to supervise them, so they made some red festive clothes.

Tian Buli also liked to watch. These women dressed for him to see, so they did not have the sense of hierarchy and rules that ordinary people had.

"Okay, it does look beautiful." Tian Buli also knew that Miss Zhang had good craftsmanship and was someone he knew, so he said, "I'll make clothes for the Zhang family in the future."

"Yes!" Li Hazhen agreed with a smile.

Zhang Hui quickly lowered her head. She was happy but her face was burning.

"Thank you, my dear husband! Thank you for your appreciation!"

The relationship between Tailor Zhang and his daughter and Tian Buli could not be said to be pleasant. They knew each other and could talk to each other, but they sometimes quarreled, so they could not be said to have a good relationship.

Tian Buli does not bear grudges, but Zhang Hui feels like a clown performing on the street and making a fool of himself.

Dou Niang had arranged a marriage for her before, but was rejected. If Zhang Hui had agreed at that time, she would not be a tailor working to earn money, but Mrs. Tian standing here.

The female tailor from a small county town who thought she was beautiful, realized that she was not a beauty at all, but just an ordinary girl, after seeing several real beauties from the Tian family.

Now that her father's eyesight is getting worse, and he is reluctant to hire a tailor, Miss Zhang has to do more work to earn money for the family's livelihood. Rich people like the Li family have their own tailors, and now the majority of the income from the Zhang family's tailor shop comes from the newly wealthy Tian family.

Tian Buli thought that he had many unpleasant experiences in the past mainly with Boss Zhang. Since he had little contact with Zhang Hui, there could be no unpleasant experiences either.

"Ms. Zhang, I heard that you are good at sewing, especially making wedding dresses. Please make three sets of close-fitting red dresses for my three lovers."

Tian Buli really liked to see beautiful women wearing classical wedding gowns. He had quite a bit of money, and since it was the Chinese New Year, he ordered three sets of expensive clothes.

Zhang Hui nodded and said, "Okay, but if we make it now, it will probably take until summer to make three sets. I have two slightly smaller sets at home, which I made for fun when I had nothing to do. But I am thin, so they might be a little small for me."

Tian Buli looked at Zhang Hui, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, and then at the Li sisters who were 1.67 meters tall beside him.

"This one is fine, it's good to be tighter, and you can keep it if you can't wear it, but the other one needs to be made now, she is tall."

Zhang Hui said, "Is it Miss Lan? I have made her clothes. I have been here several times, but you were not here at that time."

He was just an ordinary tailor and there was no need to report this to Tian Buli specifically.

Tian Buli nodded, "Okay, that's good. How did Miss Zhang get here?"

Li Hezhen explained: "I asked someone to invite her here. I happened to be going to the city to buy some New Year's goods today, so I asked her to come and listen to my instructions."

After hearing this, Tian Buli said, "Then send her back in a carriage. It's cold outside and gets dark early. The carriage can go to the Hu family to rest for a night, and then buy some wine and meat tomorrow morning."

Li Hezhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. The beef, mutton, melon seeds, dried fruits and candies for the New Year are all ready. The Lan family will also send cattle and sheep tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Every New Year, the prince will give a lot of rewards to his vassals, and the Lan family is one of them."

"Okay, you guys continue chatting, I'll go out for a walk." Tian Buli saw that there were only women here, so he chatted for a few words and then left without disturbing the women's conversation.

After Tian Buli left, Li Hezhen smiled and said, "So you and the master know each other, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhang Hui blushed even more, and Qiao'er next to her was also at a loss for words.

"I only saw him a few times on the same street. He was still selling tofu at that time."

Zhang Hui did not mention anything else. She did not say that her father had quarreled with Tian Buli several times, nor did she mention that her marriage proposal was rejected, nor did she mention that she was scolded for introducing Tian Buli to a job as a nanny in the provincial capital.

Li Hazhen was smart and she sensed something was wrong just from Zhang Hui's evasive expression.

But I didn't ask any further questions and just started talking about clothes again.

After Zhang Hui left in the afternoon, Li Hezhen went to Hu's house out of boredom.

Just as Hu Yuwei came back, Dou Niang stayed in the back room all day and did not go out. When she saw Li Hezhen coming, she welcomed him with a smile.

"Sister Li is here. Come sit down and have a rest. The three of us are playing cards. Do you want to join us?"

Li Hezhen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too polite. The master is going to make fermented tofu again. I came over to sit down and ask something."

"Okay! You tell me! We know everything about your master!" Dou Niang agreed with a smile. She knew everything about Tian Buli.

Li Hezhen said quickly, "Today I asked the daughter of the Zhang family tailor in the city to come over to make clothes. When the master came back, we just happened to chat for a while. I saw that the master and the daughter of the Zhang family seemed to be familiar with each other. I couldn't ask for details."

After hearing this, Dou Niang smiled and continued playing cards, saying, "That girl is arrogant and looks down on everyone, but she is not a bad person, she just has bad taste. Don't be angry with her. She has good skills, especially in making wedding dresses, but it's a pity that she can't use them herself."

Li Hezhen smiled and said, "Okay, it's good that it's not a big deal. Then continue making clothes. After a while, when my maid has mastered her skills, she won't be needed anymore."

Li Hazhen handled the matter lightly.

Not good, but not bad.
