Chapter 125: Red Envelopes in the Comments Section

Luo Haoran is not dead; he is still eating coarse food in the dungeon of the mansion.

Wei Li was busy supporting her family and only remembered him after a while. By the time she decided to go see him, it was already early spring in March.

Swallows flew in pairs across the branches and treetops from the eaves. Wei Li was captivated by them, watched for a while, and then suddenly turned back.

"My lord, aren't you going to the dungeon?" Chen Ruojiang called out to Wei Li as he chased after him.

"Wait for me to change my clothes." Wei Li rushed into the yard like an arrow. Zhao Xiheng and Zhizhi were teasing the deer in front of the fence when they suddenly saw him go into the house.

A short while later, he emerged again.

"Zhao Xiheng, don't you have any clothes like that this spring?" Wei Li rummaged through his chests and cabinets, finding all the new clothes made this spring, but it seemed he couldn't find anything he liked, and he even looked at last year's clothes.

He ran out, gestured with his hands, and asked Zhao Xiheng.

"What kind of?" Zhao Xiheng tilted her head. "Tell me in detail."

"Ah!" Zhizhi leaned on Zhao Xiheng's shoulder and waved to Wei Li in greeting.

"It's...it's like that..." Wei Li hesitated, her face flushing slightly as she continued gesturing. After gesturing, she gestured to her, "You know what I mean? It's the kind that looks like a matching set..."

"Aren't clothes usually sold as sets?" He spoke haltingly and indistinctly, only mentioning this and that. She wasn't a mind reader; how could she know what kind of clothes he wanted?

"Explain yourself clearly. Why are you acting so effeminate these days?"

Wei Li pouted. He was a little angry, but he was too embarrassed to describe what he wanted, so he just said stiffly, "It's okay, you two go play first." Then he crawled back inside.

He always throws little tantrums. Zhao Xiheng gave him a disdainful look and continued feeding the deer with Zhizhi.

Roe deer usually give birth in June. Wei Li searched for two months, November and December, but couldn't find any roe deer that violated the normal reproductive pattern. Later, he accidentally bought a pregnant female roe deer at the foot of the mountain. The roe deer will not be born for another three months.

Every day when Zhizhi wakes up, she goes to see the silly dog ​​that she keeps in the circle, and then she goes to see Gou Dan'er's family of three.

Seeing that she was engrossed in her work and had no intention of coming in, Wei Li quietly opened her wardrobe, picked out a garment, packed it into his bundle, and went down the mountain to find a clothing shop.

He was a little sullen. If Zhao Xiheng didn't know how to make it for him, couldn't he just make it himself?

The clothes were ordered urgently. When the shop owner brought the finished clothes up, Wei Li was not at home. She figured it didn't matter who she gave the clothes to, so she gave them to Zhao Xiheng.

"These are clothes that our lord ordered from our house a few days ago. The deposit of one tael has already been paid, and the remaining amount is one tael of silver."

Zhao Xiheng found it unbelievable. Wei Li was so stingy now, how could he have another set of clothes made right after finishing the first?

"Bring it here so I can take a look."

"This is the one that my lord used to make a sample for me." The proprietress showed Zhao Xiheng both the new dress and the sample dress.

Zhao Xiheng felt that the sample clothes looked very familiar. They were indigo blue, covered with a layer of smoky white gauze, with gold thread embroidery on the gauze. The white was faintly tinged with a calm and elegant blue, and there was a layer of gold thread embroidery on top, making it look understated and gorgeous.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed her own clothes. Was Wei Li using her clothes as a model?

She stared wide-eyed at the proprietress with a questioning look, then quickly unfolded the new clothes.

Also indigo blue, but made to Wei Li's measurements, it was a narrow-sleeved, turned-down collar robe with gold accents at the collar. The whole garment was covered in a layer of white gauze, but it was ironed perfectly, with only the gauze puffing up at the cuffs. Although it wasn't a wide-sleeved robe, its dignified and elegant color gave it a beauty that combined strength and gentleness.

Zhao Xiheng looked at her own clothes, then at Wei Li's.

The proprietress, fearing that she would be dissatisfied and unwilling to pay, could only smile apologetically and say, "It was the master who came down the mountain to place the order that day. He wanted me to make one for him based on your style and fabric. The design was completed that day, and the master was satisfied. Because it was made in a hurry and there were other requirements, it was a bit expensive."

Zhao Xiheng stroked her chin, realizing that her expression might have been misunderstood, and quickly gestured to Xiao Tao, "Give me the money, give me the money."

The proprietress happily accepted the money, saying, "If you need anything in the future, just come to me." Before leaving, she added a compliment, "Madam and Master have such a good relationship. When you go out dressed like this, you look like a match made in heaven."

She practically had the words "May you have a long and happy marriage" written all over her face, making Zhao Xiheng blush with embarrassment.

"Then I'll be going now." The proprietress prepared to leave with a smug look on her face.

Zhizhi is a little over six months old, but she is growing well and has a strong physique. She is developing faster than other children and can already crawl slowly.

She reached out to grab the clothes that were placed to the side.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xiheng suddenly called out to the proprietress, picked up Zhizhi, and said, "Wait a moment, let's make one for her too." Her face turned even redder.

Although there's a strange sense of shame about wearing these clothes out, there's also a novelty to it. She and Wei Li both have them, so of course Zhi Zhi can't be left out.

"It would be foolish not to do business," the proprietress slapped her thigh and quickly agreed, "Alright!"

After the proprietress left, Zhao Xiheng blushed as she looked at the clothes, saying, "Put them away, put them away."

She urged him on.

Wei Li asked her a few days ago if she had those kinds of clothes. So that's what she was asking about? Isn't it enough to just have clothes to wear? Why bother with all this?

Xiao Tao took the clothes away.

"Never mind, just leave it here." Zhao Xiheng called out to her again, saying it would be more convenient for Wei Li to try it out when he came back later.

"Ahem." Xiao Tao coughed twice, seemingly casually mentioning, "My lord only has so little pocket money a month, yet he dares to have clothes made for two taels of silver."

She desperately tried to subtly influence Wei Li's feelings.

Zhao Xiheng counted on her fingers. She knew he used to have some savings and spent money like water outside. Later, he stopped and became more frugal after he ran out of his savings.

With only one tael of silver for pocket money each month, I certainly can't afford clothes worth two taels of silver.

No wonder they didn't give us the money directly this time, but had it delivered up the mountain.

…………

Yang Zeli retorted to Chen Ruojiang, "Go ahead."

"I'm not going, you go."

"I dare not. You have been with the lord for a long time. You go."

The two of them kept pushing and shoving each other, which Wei Li noticed. "You two, shut up already!"

Taking the opportunity, Chen Ruojiang pushed Yang Zeli out. Yang Zeli turned around and glared at Chen Ruojiang, scratching his head and hurriedly explaining to Wei Li, "Well, it's nothing. The brothers are going to a party tonight and wanted to ask you, my lord..."

Drinking? Wei Li didn't really care whether he went or not. He subconsciously touched his empty pockets. If he went drinking and didn't treat anyone, wouldn't he seem a bit stingy? That wouldn't be good, so he decided not to go.

"I don't want to go, you guys can drink by yourselves."

Yang Zeli wanted to persuade him further, but Wei Li strode away without turning his head.

Chen Ruojiang scratched his head.

In the first year after our lord took over Pingzhou, he had a fearsome reputation. It wasn't that his generals didn't go out to parties and drinks, but none of them would tell him. In the last two years, things have been much better. People invite our lord to their parties and drinks, but he doesn't go often.

These were all such great opportunities for communication.

Zhizhi pressed her face against the glass window, her chubby little face squished flat. When she saw Wei Li come in from outside, she banged on the window and made strange noises like "Ya, ya~", her eyebrows raised, looking very anxious, as if she wanted to go through the window to find him.

She's teething lately, and her drool is dripping out in strands. Zhao Xiheng wipes it clean with a handkerchief and holds her in her arms.

Zhizhi's attitude towards Wei Li is complicated.

When she can't see him, she always babbles and moans. She gets excited when she sees him from afar, but she won't let him hold her when he does, and keeps looking for her mother.

It's probably a case of "familiarity breeds contempt, proximity breeds contempt."

Wei Li rushed in, cupped Zhao Xiheng's face and kissed her, then picked up his chubby little daughter, Zhizhi, who struggled to find Zhao Xiheng.

She wouldn't let him hug her, but Wei Li wouldn't listen and insisted on hugging her, holding her tightly in his arms. He watched as she reached out her hands to Zhao Xiheng with red eyes, then whimpered and pouted, about to cry.

"Go ahead and run, go ahead and run! You'll still have to stay in my arms, you little ingrate!" Wei Li weighed her up, refusing to let go no matter what.

Zhizhi burst into tears, crying very hard. Zhao Xiheng quickly took her and comforted her, glaring at Wei Li, "All you do all day is tease your daughter."

After crying her fill, Zhizhi hugged Zhao Xiheng's neck and burped, looking like she was about to go to sleep.

The box containing the clothes was just sitting to one side, but Wei Li acted as if she hadn't seen it. Zhao Xiheng coughed and pushed the box over to remind her, "The clothes you ordered have arrived. Want to try them on?"

Wei Li's face flushed red instantly, almost to the point of burning.

Didn't he tell the landlady to deliver it to the doorman and give her the money saved next month? How did it end up in Zhao Xiheng's hands?

Does he even care about his reputation?

"You saw everything?" He tugged at the hem of his shirt, looking a little uncomfortable.

"You've already finished making all your spring clothes, why are you making more?" Zhao Xiheng asked him.

Wei Li gave her a mournful look.

Even the couple, Yanzi and her husband, knew to wear the same black and white clothes. When Zhao Xiheng was ordering clothes, why didn't she think to get some clothes made of the same material and color?

Aren't they the best in the world? If they go out dressed like this, it'll be obvious they're a couple. He wants to wear it to show Luo Haoran after he's done.

His attempt to sow discord was futile; he and his wife have a great relationship.

Zhao Xiheng tapped the table, pretending to be serious, "You're quite something, aren't you? You even dared to secretly make clothes behind my back."

"I did it, what are you going to do about it?" Wei Li said, her face flushed, her neck stiff with arrogance.

"What else can I do?" Zhao Xiheng hooked his belt and pulled him closer to her.

Wei Li clutched her waist and walked over, saying, "Pull gently, or it'll fall off."

Zhao Xiheng touched his waist, making him blush, his heart race, and his blood run cold.

She pulled out a money pouch, which was empty.

When I opened it, there was indeed not a single penny inside.
