The next morning, Xianjin took Baozhu and Huahua to practice Ba Duan Jin in Yiyuan.

After playing for a while, Xianjin turned around and saw Baozhu Panghua wearing a brown top and a dark brown pleated skirt. She looked... like a chubby little dung beetle.

Xianjin put his hands behind his back and frowned, "Why are you wearing clothes of this color? It's so gray and doesn't look good."

Baozhu looked at the brown color that looked golden, then looked at herself in brown, and pouted, "Aren't you wearing the same color?"

"I'm sixteen, and brown makes me look old. How old are you now?" Xianjin said.

Baozhu curled her lips.

Xianjin twisted his wrists, sipped warm water after exercise, and casually asked Zhang's mother, "Which cloth shop and tailor in the city is better?"

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "The Yixiangfang in the north of the city has the most complete materials. Tailor Hu in the east corner has improved his craftsmanship since his husband passed away."

Xianjin nodded, "Then please come today."

Xianjin turned around and looked at Baozhu again. Tsk, why does this little girl have nothing on her hands or head? She looks so bald!

Then he asked, "Where's the jewelry store?"

Mother Zhang thought hard: according to her spending level, she could only recommend Fan the silversmith at the night market, who probably couldn't meet her own Jin Jie'er's standards of extravagant and dazzling jewels.

Xianjin waved his hand and said, "Let the clothing shop find a match for them and bring a complete set of jewelry to match the clothes and materials they brought. Just tell them, they will understand."

Mother Zhang nodded and asked, "Budget..."

Xianjin waved his hand and said, "There is no budget."

"Children grow fast, so make three or four sets of clothes for all four seasons. Make them fit well. Don't make them too big just to wear them for two more years. It will make them look sloppy and ugly."

Mother Zhang: What qualifications do you have to say that others dress ugly? You dress like a big mud ball every day, and you look very fertile.

"How about I make two sets for you?" asked Aunt Zhang.

Xianjin waved his hand and said, "Why would I do this? There is no place to use it!"

Xianjin has never cared much about clothing. She believes that anyone who wears too many hospital gowns would be willing to run naked as long as she can have a healthy appearance.

Baozhu muttered, "I have nowhere to use it..."

Xianjin reached out and flicked Baozhu's head, "Wait until I'm done with my work and slowly find a way, then you can go to the girls' school by yourself!"

Director Qiao has not been convicted yet!

Qiao Fangzhi is such a handsome man with great academic achievements, so how can he be with an illiterate girl?

Xianjin reached out and rubbed Baozhu's head again, "Be good, wait for your sister to come back, and wear new clothes to perform miracles for your sister."

Seeing the little girl dressed up beautifully is also a very fulfilling thing!

Baozhu lowered her head and obediently handed the top of her furry head to Xianjin's hand. She squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth of Xianjin's palm, and felt very at ease.

......

Such a big thing happened last night. In the morning, all the Chen family members gathered in the small hall without any prior arrangement. When Xianjin arrived, everyone except Madam Qu was already there.

Even Chen Cai rushed back from Jing County overnight.

"What happened last night? How come I heard that Fifth Grandpa is seriously ill?" Chen Cai asked around but couldn't get the answer, so he turned to Xian Jin and asked anxiously, "When I left, Fifth Grandpa was still fine..."

The third wife, Mrs. Sun, also looked up at Xianjin with a sly look, appearing to be very concerned.

Chen Fu frowned, "That must be because you left. The Fifth Master missed you so much that he got sick."

Xianjin: .....

For a moment she couldn't tell whether this was her stepfather's relaxed and frank stupidity or his weird happiness.

Chen Cai thought seriously about Chen Fu's words.

His wife, Xu, stretched out her arm and nudged Chen Cai, her eyes wide open: "Don't muddy the water! It will bring disaster to you!"

Chen Cai didn't understand and was about to speak when he heard the rustling of the pearl curtain in the inner room and Old Madam Qu came out with a sullen face.

Sun came over with a smile and supported Madam Qu, her expression exaggerated, "...Why do you look so pale?! My parents sent some fish maw, I'll ask someone to bring it to you later!"

Sun's eyes rolled around, "Did you not sleep well last night? There were several loud thunders yesterday evening, and I heard that the doctor came to our Chen family at night..."

Sun leaned out half of her body and looked back, "Why can't I see Fifth Grandpa?"

The acting... the acting is terrible...

Xianjin rolled his eyes silently: You have to act with an actor's sense of belief and perform well, only then can you find out the latest gossip!

Madam Qu removed her hand from Sun's arm, stretched it out to Xianjin, and motioned for him to sit next to her.

Xianjin bowed and helped Madam Qu to sit down - the leader asked you to serve him, this is giving you face.

Madam Qu turned around and told Aunt Qu, "Serve the meal. Make a bowl of mushroom and egg noodles for Jin Jie'er. It's a good day to eat wild mushrooms. The kitchen only picked one basket yesterday. The noodles are very fresh."

Xianjin continued respectfully, "Let's change it to salty soy milk noodles. I'm a bit picky about food and don't really like to eat things out of the wild." - Sometimes, you can also choose not to accept the face given by your leader.

Aunt Qu was in a difficult situation.

Mrs. Qu half-closed her eyes for a moment, then nodded imperceptibly - of course, the prerequisite is that you have to be awesome, and so awesome that you are irreplaceable, so that the leader will flatter and obey you.

Madam Qu took her seat, and everyone took their seats. Chen Fu sat at the table where the dishes were served, forming a sharp contrast with Xianjin who was sitting firmly on Madam Qu's left.

Madam Qu didn't say anything, and everyone was as silent as geese with their vocal cords cut.

After Madam Qu slowly scooped a spoonful of preserved egg and minced meat porridge and ate it with stone seeds, chewed it and swallowed it, she spoke, "Yesterday, the fifth master suffered a stroke and fell to the ground in the middle of the night. He was given medicine and acupuncture, but it didn't work."
