When Fu Ciyi left the east wing, Li Xinheng returned with Fu Beimo and Ali.
The three of them dragged back a lot of bamboo.
"What are these bamboos for?" Fu Ciyi asked.
Fu Beimo rushed to say: "Sister-in-law wants to dry the medicinal herbs, and Brother Li can weave bamboo plaques."
Fu Ciyi nodded and went back to his room to copy.

Night deepens.
After dinner, Fu Nanyao said to Ali, "Please come back later. The clothes have been sewn. I will go to the room and get them for you."
Ali said yes in surprise.
Fu Beimo shouted, "Where are my clothes? Weren't they sewn long ago?"
Fu Nanyao glanced at his brother and said, "I'll take them all."
After a while, Fu Nanyao brought a sewing frame, took out two sets of ultramarine robes, and gave them to the two young men respectively.
"Bei Mo's is slightly larger, Ali's is slightly smaller."
The two teenagers took it and gestured to themselves happily while Ali was trying it out. Fu Beimo was very dissatisfied: "What's going on?"
Fu Nanyao gave him a sharp look: "What's going on?"
"I want clothes of this color because my brother and sister-in-law have them, and Ali's clothes are also this color now."
Fu Beimo's fair face puffed up and he sat down on the stool, not wanting to try on his clothes at all.
Fu Nanyao ignored him and picked up a new skirt from the frame to show Yan Funing: "Sister-in-law, look, this is a new skirt I made for myself. It's made of lotus root powder and ultramarine blue. It looks very nice."
Yan Funing nodded: "It looks good."
Fu Beimo was even more depressed: "Why are everyone's clothes ultramarine?"
Yan Funing patted his shoulder and said, "Hurry up and show me how to do it."
Fu Beimo blinked his dark eyes and looked at Yan Funing: "Sister-in-law, please make clothes for me next time. I want water green."
My sister-in-law's dress is basically aqua green, with ultramarine blue being just an intermediate color.
Now that they all have ultramarine.
He wants to wear the same color as his sister-in-law.
Fu Ciyi suddenly understood his brother's purpose.
However, he couldn't get angry, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you, a man, wearing aqua?"
"Of course you can. I can wear lotus root powder if I want." Fu Beimo wrinkled his nose at his brother, turned his head to look at Yan Funing, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, please sew it for me."
Yan Funing smiled and said, "I don't know how to cut yet. Ask Nan Yao to cut it and I can help you sew it."
Fu Beimo became happy.
Fu Ciyi lowered his eyes.
A certain young lady has never sewn clothes for him, so do I have to sew clothes for Fu Beimo first?
Wan Niang shook her head. They were just children, arguing endlessly about even the clothes they wore.
She stood up and said, "Fu Ning, come with me to the east wing."
Yan Funing responded, held her mother-in-law's arm, and the two of them left the main room.
When they arrived at the east wing, Wan Niang took out a small wooden box from the bedside.
"Fu Ning, I have a pearl hairpin here. Do you like it?"
Yan Funing opened the box and what came into view was an exquisite hairpin.
The royal blue pearl flowers with kingfisher feathers and tassels made of small pearls are exquisitely designed and pleasing to the eye.
"Mom, the pearl hairpin is beautiful. I like it."
"As long as you like it." Wan Niang took out the pearl hairpin and groped to put it in Yan Funing's hair. "Mother can't see it, please ask Ci Yi and the others to go and take a look."
Yan Funing raised her hand and touched it: "Mother gave me such a beautiful pearl hairpin, then Nan Yao..."
Before she could finish her words, Wan Niang interrupted her: "Nan Yao has no shortage of jewelry to wear, so you can wear it with peace of mind."
"Thank you, mother!"
When Yan Funing came out of the east wing, the lights in the main room had already gone out. Fu Nanyao and Fu Beimo were walking towards the east wing, while Ali was going back to his home.
She went straight back to the west wing.
In the room, Fu Ciyi lit candles and oil lamps.
Yan Funing placed the wooden box on the bedside on her side, making a slight noise.
Fu Ciyi looked up when he heard the voice, and saw that she was wearing the pearl hairpin he bought on her hair, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Yan Funing noticed that he was looking at her and couldn't help but touch the pearl hairpin: "Does it look bad when I wear it?"
Fu Ciyi said softly, "It looks good."
"My mother gave it to me." Yan Funing felt that the pearl hairpin was loose, so she reached into her hair again.
Fu Ciyi saw this and said, "Don't move."
He walked quickly to her and extended his hand.
Yan Funing withdrew her hand in time.
Fu Ciyi re-pinned the pearl hairpin, then took a step back and looked at it for a moment: "It suits you very well."
Yan Funing then remembered the mirror he had given her, so she opened the drawer at the head of the bed and took out the mirror.
After traveling here, she looked in the mirror on her wedding night and early the morning of the next day. She hadn't looked in the mirror again in so many days.
Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, she adjusted the pearl tassels on her hairpin and smiled.
"Do all women like this kind of jewelry?" he asked.
"That's not the case. Those Yan family jewels don't belong to me. No matter how beautiful they are, I don't like them." She smiled again, her eyes gleaming with a tiny light. "But I really like this one on my head because it was given to me by my mother."
Fu Ciyi didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He just stood in front of her calmly, his clear eyes gradually becoming deeper.

For the next three days, Li Xinheng drove in the morning and came to the Fu family to weave bamboo plaques in the afternoon.
The bamboo plaques were woven quickly and well.
Not only that, he also helped to make several racks out of bamboo, which were just right for holding the bamboo plaques.
Yan Funing was very satisfied and said to him, "I plan to go into the mountains tomorrow. If Brother Li wants to take a car, then come with me tomorrow afternoon."
Li Xinheng carefully used a knife to remove the burrs from the bamboo frame and said, "I'll go into the mountains with you tomorrow morning."
Fu Nanyao asked, "Are you not driving the car anymore?"
