pampering wife

Chapter 14

Qingmei was a little disappointed, but she wasn't discouraged——Wei Li also said that it would take a month!It must have been delayed on the way, or Yu Yanlei is too rare, so it takes time.

Hey, no!Qing Mei suddenly came to her senses, what was she looking forward to for Wei Li to come back?He came to Wancheng only for the painting of Jiangshan, and he would naturally go back to the capital after the matter was completed, so what's the point of coming?
She and him just met by chance, like a dragonfly on water, they parted at the first touch, except for the fading ripples, there was no intersection.

What's more, he is a wealthy man in the capital, and she is just the daughter of a criminal official who hides her name. If Mrs. Gu fulfills the marriage contract, she will become the wife of a cousin she has never met.If Mrs. Gu had other plans, she was just an ordinary weak girl in the market, so what could she have to do with him?

Qing Mei threw the book in her hand on the table with a pout, and walked out of the room a little annoyed, only to see Xu with a bundle hanging in her arms, walking towards her with a smile: "Qing Mei, come and try this set." clothes."

Qingmei and Mrs. Xu walked into the house. Inside the bundle was a cross-neck half-arm made of white brocade, neatly embroidered with begonia red florals on the edge, and the other was a waist-length skirt of rain-coloured sky blue with sporadic spots on it. It is sprinkled with fine white jasmine flowers, and there is a circle of lovely green and green plums embroidered under the soft waistband.

Xu looked at Qingmei wearing this dress, her eyes under her bangs were clear, her cheeks were pink and slightly fleshy, she was so in love with her when she smiled.

Looking down, the milky white brocade dress set off the tender skin, and the slight bulges and depressions outlined a slender figure. The skirt she wore was elegant and elegant.

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the woman she had served many years ago—gentle and elegant, beautiful and pleasant, wearing a skirt like a blue spring.

Qingmei wore this dress, which was six or seven points similar to her.But that person was beautiful and silent, but Qingmei was used to playing around since she was a child, even when she was standing quietly, she still had a playful face, very cute, like a clear stream dancing with ding dong.

How many years has it been... Mrs. Xu was suddenly fascinated, that slim girl married Ruyi husband but suffered great changes, and then entrusted her to her.Now that orphan has grown into a slim girl, how about her, can she marry a good husband?

Qingmei looked at the bronze mirror happily, and found that the cutting, color and even the subtle embroidery were all to her liking, so she turned around and smiled sweetly at Mrs. Xu: "Mother, this dress is so beautiful! Did you choose it?" ?”

"It's a gift from Mrs. He. Her vision is really good." Xu came back to his senses.

Gift?Qingmei lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled gently, suddenly said: "By the way, tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of April, and the day after tomorrow will be my and Huaiyuan's birthday!" The siblings are of different ages, but their birthdays are on the same day. Tie it to the side, but forget about it.

"That's right, our little Qingmei is about to reach the age of Ji." Xu said with emotion, "You have something to do with your aunt these two days, so you sent the gift in advance. Mother has already made a house for you." Shan, will you wear this dress then?"

Qingmei was naturally happy, so she said happily: "Mother, tomorrow is the Buddha's Day, shall we go to Biyun Temple outside the city to offer incense?"

"I'm afraid that there will be many people in Biyun Temple tomorrow. Why don't you go to pray on your birthdays. There will also be a meeting in Chang'an Temple tomorrow, and it will be more lively."

Qingmei tilted her head and thought for a while, then she agreed: "I'll listen to you! Ah, I'm going to prepare a gift for Huaiyuan." Then she changed the suit of clothes.Because it will be very lively tomorrow, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming to buy wine, so Qingmei and Changsheng put some wine gourds in advance, so as not to be too busy when they get it.

Changsheng and Yingzi came over early the next morning to make preparations. From Sishi, the streets gradually became lively. Mrs. Xu went to Chang'an Temple early to offer incense, then sat at the counter, and Changsheng and Yingzi came to greet the guests.

Mrs. Xu looked gentle and kind, but she was capable of raising the two children independently after living in a foreign country.

She was originally Qingmei's mother-in-law Xu Zhu's personal maid. After Xu Zhu got married, Xu was released from the house and married a fur businessman.The merchant's house was at the border, and the Xu family followed him to live there, but it was not far from Xu Zhu's residence in the frontier.Later, the merchant was killed by horse bandits on the way of transporting furs from the Northern Territory, leaving only a posthumous son to Xu.

When Xu Zhu narrowly escaped death and brought Qingmei, who was not yet three years old, to the door, it was the most embarrassing time for Xu to become pregnant and lose her husband.However, Mrs. Xu resolutely accepted Xu Zhu's request, disbanded the shop, and only brought some pocket money with her. She took Qingmei with her child and traveled southward for thousands of miles, and she settled down in Dongnan County.

Tired from traveling on the way, Mrs. Xu had to take care of Qingmei as well as take care of her body, and slowly spent all her money and silver.She was not discouraged either, she sold her embroidery by hand, and gradually saved her capital to start a small business to make a living.But at that time, the child was still young, and she had no helpers around her, so she could only barely make ends meet. It was not until Qingmei grew up that she became more affluent.

Xu learned about accounting after she got married, and Qingmei's ability to settle accounts was enlightened by her.In the past few years, Mrs. Xu only managed the wine cellar in the backyard, and only came to the shop when the business was particularly busy—such as temple fairs held by Chang'an Temple, or grand festivals when there were many customers.

As for Qingmei, it happened that on the day of Buddha Bathing Day, the female school had a rest, and Bai Haitang had nothing to do, so Xu asked her to invite Bai Haitang to go out and have fun for a day.
