Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 15 Drawing
Juanjuan frowned: "Second uncle's feet also need to take bitter medicine?"
When a group of people heard this, they laughed so hard that tears came out.
Juanjuan was confused and didn't know why they were laughing.
Madam Si wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "That's not about taking medicine, it's about helping your second uncle recover."
"So that's how it is!" Juanjuan nodded, not quite understanding.
The Liu family's driver has come to pick up Doctor Huai.
Madam Si escorted him out and said, "Doctor Huai, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
"Okay." Doctor Huai waved to the two children and followed the driver out of the Si family.
Siming asked someone to find a crutch for Sitian to practice walking.
Si Tian leaned on a crutch and tried to move his legs.
He has been in a wheelchair for a long time. Although someone helps him massage his legs regularly, it has been too long since he moved, so it is not easy for him to recover now.
It was a miracle that he was still conscious. He slowly took a step forward, feeling a little weak when stepping on the ground.
Juanjuan followed him closely, taking every step he took, like a strict little supervisor.
"Second Uncle, come on!" She would cheer him up from time to time.
Si Tian looked at her serious little expression and suddenly wanted to get married. He would be very happy if he had such a lovely daughter.
Why do I feel a little envious of my elder brother?
"Uncle, are you tired?" Juanjuan saw that he didn't move and looked up at him.
"No, Second Uncle was just thinking about something." Si Tian moved forward another step.
"Second Master, the owner of the New Clothing Shop is here." The housekeeper came in and said.
"Let him in." Si Tian took another step forward and asked his personal servant to help him sit down in the wheelchair.
The fact that he has feeling in his legs is still kept secret.
Juanjuan turned around and ran to get him another blanket, covering his legs: "This way you won't be cold."
Si Tian's smile became even gentler: "Thank you, Juanjuan."
Shopkeeper Lu came in and bowed respectfully: "Second Master."
"Did something happen in the store?" The smile on Si Tian's face had faded.
"Business has been down a lot lately. The Liu family and several other families have opened new tailor shops with much more modern styles. Many of our old customers have gone to their shops."
Shopkeeper Lu answered honestly.
Si Tian narrowed his eyes: "Targeting the Si family?"
Shopkeeper Lu nodded and said, "Now the old tailors in the shop are a little anxious. They don't know what to do. There are still some backlogs of clothes that they can't deal with."
"Let's go to the store and have a look." Si Tian said and looked at Juanjuan beside him.
"Juanjuan and Achen, do you want to go to the store with your uncle?" He looked at the two children.
"Go." Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen and walked to his side.
When Mrs. Si heard that they were going to the store, she remembered that she had to make clothes for her two children, so she followed them to the store.
The Si family's new clothing store is located in a relatively good location in the city. The store is spacious and bright, and you can see the clothes displayed inside through the window outside.
Juanjuan turned around curiously and looked around, and saw quite a few tailor shops not far away.
"Juanjuan, what are you looking at?" Si Jinchen looked in the direction she was looking.
"Brother, there are so many shops selling clothes on this street!" Juanjuan said, pointing at several shops with her little hand.
Old Madam Si knew that the Liu family and several other families had opened tailor shops, and she pretended to be affectionate and told her that the younger generation was running them for fun.
This is clearly targeting the Si family's business. Not only the tailor shop, but also other shops have begun to intervene to get a piece of the pie.
As soon as Si Tian entered the shop, he went to find the shop assistant and asked Madam Si and the others to take a look at the fabrics they liked. If they liked any fabrics, they could take note of them and ask the tailor to make them for them later.
This is Juanjuan’s second time coming to Xinyizhuang, but last time she left shortly after coming in.
This time she could look around, looking here and there out of curiosity.
Madam Si and her two children went to a reception room. There were some uncollected chalk and clothes on the table. "Juanjuan, grandma will take your brother to get measured first, and then you will go later. Be good and don't run around here."
Juanjuan nodded obediently. After they left, she took some chalk and started drawing patterns on the clothes that had not been taken away.
Si Jinchen was dragged away to choose fabrics, and when he turned around and came back to look for her, he felt like he was going to be scolded.
His boy Juanjuan painted all the clothes in the store.
I just hope that when my second uncle comes out later he won’t be so angry.
Old Madam Si came over to find Juanjuan and took her to measure her size. She also felt a headache, wondering why this child drew on her clothes.
"Juanjuan, what are you doing?"
Juanjuan's hands are now covered with powder, and his face is also covered with quite a bit, making him look like a little cat.
She turned to look at the two of them: "Drawing!"
Si Jinchen walked over to her and squatted down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "These are the clothes that are still for sale in the store."
Juanjuan's eyes widened immediately, a little scared: "Brother, has Juanjuan gotten into trouble?"
Si Tian and the others heard the noise outside and came out, and saw that his lovely little niece had painted on all the clothes in the store.
Shopkeeper Lu felt his vision go dark: "Second Master, this..."
Si Tian raised his hand to stop him from speaking any further, because his eyes were now focused on the painted clothes that Juanjuan had placed on the ground.
"Achen, bring Juanjuanhua's clothes to Second Uncle."
Si Jinchen's face was wrinkled into a bun. He thought that if his second uncle got angry, he would say that he drew it himself.
He took a piece of clothing and handed it to him: "Second Uncle, I drew this, don't blame Juanjuan."
Si Tian didn't hear what he said at all, but took the clothes and looked at them carefully. The more he looked, the more the smile on his face became.
"Shopkeeper Lu, look at this dress."
Shopkeeper Lu also noticed the difference in the clothes. Although they seemed to be scribbled on randomly, the changes in the style of the clothes made them eye-catching.
This is simply incredible!
The clothes that were originally a bit old-fashioned look trendy and fashionable after this painting.
"Second Master, can this dress be altered?"
"Change it immediately according to the drawing above." Si Tian looked at the little calico cat sitting on the ground with a silly look on its face.
He pushed his wheelchair to Juanjuan, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face: "You are really my lucky star."
Juanjuan tilted her head and looked at him: "Second uncle, aren't you angry?"
"Why would you be angry? Juanjuan can draw whatever you want on the clothes here." Si Tian asked someone to take down all the clothes and spread them on the ground for her.
Juanjuan smiled happily, showing his little white teeth, stuck out his little butt, and lay on the ground to start doodling.
Madam Si and Si Jinchen were confused: "What is this?"
"Mom, Achen, you will know soon." Sitian looked at Juanjuan who was doodling seriously.
This child is really a treasure!
When Juanjuan got tired of drawing, she threw away the chalk and ran over to hold Si Jinchen's hand: "Brother."
Si Jinchen took out a handkerchief and wiped the powder off her face and hands: "Don't you want to paint anymore?"
"I'm tired." Juanjuan had enough fun, so she pulled him to explore other places.
Madam Si took her to choose some fabrics and asked the tailor to measure her size.
