Chapter 17 Busy Daily Life
With a carriage, it would be much faster to get back to the village. The two parked the carriage at the foot of the mountain and walked back to the mountain together under the moonlight. The air was good in ancient times, and the moonlight was as bright as daylight, so there was no need to worry about visibility when walking at night.
Jiang Yuyan is now in a relaxed mood. She has a house and has reached a business agreement with Qin Shangyu. If nothing unexpected happens, she will have a stable source of income in the future and will not live off her savings.
She held Xiao Yuanyan's hand, humming a song, occasionally rubbing against him, not walking properly, like a child, deliberately bumping into him with her body. Unfortunately, Xiao Yuanyan didn't move at all every time. She staggered here and there, laughing with joy.
Xiao Yuanyan looked at her naughty appearance and shook his head helplessly, pinching her hand and touching her hair from time to time.
The mountain path was a bit cold in early winter, but at this time the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, the bamboos and pines were lush, and the two of them snuggled up to each other, strolling in the garden, which was a special experience.
In a few days, the mountain will be even colder and people can no longer live there. It just so happens that a new yard has been bought in town. I can move in after replacing some furniture and finding someone to tidy up and repair it.
Thinking of the new home, Xiao Yuanyan felt warm in his heart. He would finally have a home with Wanwan!
The next day, Xiao Yuanyan sent Jiang Yuyan to the foot of the mountain and asked Zhou Yuanshan to take care of her. He went to the town to complete the transfer of the house and bought some new furniture to replace it. He also found a few assistants to clean and repair it.
By this time, Xiao Yuanyan's purse was empty. He had also spent all the money he had saved for his younger brother's wedding. Zhou Yuanshan even paid for a few gifts for him.
Xiao Yuanyan was ashamed for a moment. Now that the wedding date was approaching, he had not prepared enough betrothal gifts. The betrothal gifts for marriage in the village were as high as 16 loads. He did not want to let Jiang Yuyan down. If others gave 16 loads, he would give 32 loads so that she could marry in style.
So I have to go hunting in Yunmeng Mountain recently to earn more money! Xiao Yuanyan sighed and decided to go into the mountain the next day.
Jiang Yuyan also officially started her plan to make money, and spent the whole day in the house drawing and revising. After all, once Qin Shangyu's shop was tidied up, she would have to come up with enough styles for men and women.
As the wedding date was approaching, Jiang Yuyan was still thinking about designing wedding dresses for herself and Xiao Yuanyan, with matching pajamas and undergarments of the same color.
Speaking of underwear, Jiang Yuyan gestured with the modern bra she brought, drew a semicircle of the same size, and asked Zhou Yuanshan to find a fine craftsman in the town to make some "silver support". This can barely be made to be 70% similar to the modern bra.
Jiang Yuyan still relies on modern tools and sewing machines to make clothes in the modern times, and her needlework is only average. And now she doesn't know how to embroider. After thinking about it, she decided to give the design of the wedding dress to Qin Shangyu and ask his shop assistant to make it for her.
A few days later, Jiang Yuyan met Qin Shangyu again accompanied by Zhou Yuanshan and Zhou Yuanchun. This time, the design drawings also included her own wedding dress series.
"This is my private matter, and I must pay for it." Jiang Yuyan took a few banknotes and pushed them in front of Qin Shangyu.
Qin Shangyu just smiled slightly and said, "Consider it a wedding gift. Why not treat me to a drink at the wedding?" After saying that, he gently pushed the banknote back.
Jiang Yuyan blushed, and it was really inappropriate to pull and tug, so she thanked him sincerely. "Then on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, please come to watch the ceremony!"
Qin Shangyu felt bitter in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. "Then I would like to congratulate Miss Jiang and Mr. Xiao first!"
Jiang Yuyan glanced at him and felt that he had a subtle sadness, and her heart was thumping with panic. But when she looked more closely, there was no trace of sadness.
Before leaving, Jiang Yuyan had just got on the carriage when a servant came running over, stuffed a bundle into her hand, and said with a smile, "Miss, the boss said that these dresses have not been sold in the store. You can try them on." After saying that, he ran away.
“…”
Jiang Yuyan looked at these brand new white, pink, light blue, and light green dresses, some thick, some thin, all made of good fabrics, and perfectly matched to her from inside to outside. She stood there hesitating and blushing. Anyone who couldn't tell that these were specially prepared would be a fool.
Maybe it was because she saw that she always had two sets of clothes to change. Qin Shangyu's thoughtfulness was rare in the world and disturbed her heart.
On the way back, Jiang Yuyan didn't say a word in the carriage. In the end, she just let out a long sigh.
When Jiang Yuyan returned to Qingxi Village, she found a person standing at the door of her house as soon as she got off the carriage.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a crimson purple brocade robe with gold cloud pattern, and a belt of the same color embroidered with gold thread. A jade pendant carved with a plum blossom hung quietly on one side. His long hair flowed like a waterfall, half-tied up with a white jade hairpin. His whole demeanor was elegant and noble.
It was Xie Jingyu from Yunzhou City!
