Chapter 63: Black clothes also look good
Gu Yuexuan, filled with gratitude, was about to head to the fabric store when she saw Tu Subo tying the rope he had untied. She couldn't help but suggest, "The fabric store is just across the street. Why don't you wait a moment and I'll walk over..."
"No."
Tu Subo's fingers, which were knotting, suddenly stopped. He lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness that had not yet completely dissipated, and whispered, "Xuanxuan, you can't leave my sight."
Even across the street, he still felt uneasy.
Gu Yuexuan did not explain in detail what had just happened, and Tu Subo wisely did not pursue the matter.
However, he heard those dirty words clearly, and those who were chasing Gu Yuexuan were defeated by him personally.
He was silently thankful in his heart, but more than that, he felt a deep worry that he could not express in words.
What if he was late?
What if we fail to arrive in time?
Tu Subo took a deep breath and suppressed the rage that almost made him turn back and kill the man. When he let go of his hand, his face had returned to its calm expression.
"Now that you've finished your shopping, it's heavy and hard to carry. I'll go and help you carry it."
Gu Yuexuan nodded in agreement, and when he approached, she said, "What color do you prefer? Pick one you like."
Tu Subo's eyes flickered with a hint of fluctuation, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why, you plan to tailor clothes for me yourself?"
Gu Yuexuan was instantly caught in a dilemma.
She said sincerely but helplessly, "Can I honestly say that I know nothing about this craft?"
She could manage to patch holes in clothes and hammer in a few nails, but when it came to making an entire garment, she was completely helpless.
She had never been exposed to this skill since she was a child.
Tu Subo couldn't help but smile playfully when he heard this: "Needlework is both harmful to the eyes and exhausting to the mind. It's actually a good thing if you can't do it."
"I have plenty of clothes, so you don't need to worry about it."
He himself didn't care much about it, but Gu Yuexuan took it very seriously.
She was deeply soothed by Tu Subo's sudden heroic act and felt it necessary to buy herself a new dress as a reward.
In the cloth shop, Gu Yuexuan's eyes lingered on the ready-made clothes hanging on the wall. She pointed at Tu Subo, who was waiting at the door, and asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, do you have the size he's wearing?"
The shopkeeper's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He only needed one glance to make a judgment on Tu Subo: "Of course there is!"
"Please wait a moment. I will search for you immediately."
Spread out before my eyes were three pieces of cloth of different colors, namely deep raven blue, quiet ink blue, and classic black. Each piece was cut simply yet elegantly.
Noticing the satisfaction in Gu Yuexuan's eyes, the shopkeeper spared no effort to promote the product: "Miss, this young man has a handsome face and a strong figure. He will definitely look more handsome and elegant in this simple style of clothes. You can't go wrong with it."
"Would you like your husband to come in and try it on? If there's anything wrong, we'll make alterations within two days and personally deliver it to your door."
Gu Yuexuan was quite satisfied with each piece of cloth, so she waved to Tu Subo and said, "Come in, come in and take a look."
It was the first time in Tu Subo's life that he stepped into the threshold of the cloth shop. As soon as he stood firm, he saw Gu Yuexuan holding a piece of clothing and trying it on him.
"Xuanxuan..."
Gu Yuexuan spoke before he could, "Just say I made it myself when you buy it, okay?"
She said firmly, "It's impossible to make it, so I'll buy you a ready-made one for now. Don't tell anyone the truth."
In order to make the scene more realistic, she specifically asked the shopkeeper to find fabric of the same color and style to ensure that every step was done to perfection.
At that time, when she inherited the exquisite fabrics from her elders, she couldn't wait to replace Tu Subo with the newly purchased clothes a few days later, as if completing a ritual.
This action was just to prevent the old lady from paying too much attention to the private money she had accumulated.
Tu Subo only raised his eyes slightly at her cleverly concealed intention and said casually under her anxious gaze: "Then choose black."
Black is both wear-resistant and stain-resistant, and is extremely practical.
Gu Yuexuan put down the dark blue dress with a hint of regret and consoled herself: "Well, you look handsome in black too."
Although she seemed to have never seen Tu Subo wearing clothes of other colors these days.
Tu Subo suddenly felt like teasing her, and asked with a smile in his eyes, "So, who else do you think would look better in black?"
"ah?"
Gu Yuexuan answered without hesitation: "Besides you and Tu Su Minfei, who else in the family can wear black? Is there anyone more suitable than you two?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the image of Tu Suminfei in black and his elegant demeanor emerged in her mind. She couldn't help but shake her head slightly, with an indescribable feeling: "He's not good enough, let's just forget it."
Even though his appearance is outstanding, his temperament does not match.
He didn't have that unique aura of power at all.
Her disgust was so sincere, but Tu Subo just raised the corner of his mouth silently and turned his face away quietly.
After changing her clothes, Gu Yuexuan asked the store owner to pack a pair of new shoes for her.
Originally, she wanted to buy some clothes for Tu Su Minxu and Tu Su Yunxi, but when she thought of the sharp and concerned eyes at home, she finally suppressed her inner impulse and buried this idea deep in her heart.
Tu Subo once revealed that Xi Lanfang was highly praised for her needlework skills. Once she had the right fabric, Xi Lanfang would personally sew new clothes for them.
The items on the shopping list were finally all available, and after many twists and turns, I was finally able to set off and return home.
The mule cart slowly drove to the door of the house. Tu Subo got off first and unloaded the items on the cart one by one with his own hands. Then, carrying the carefully prepared rice wine, he hurried to the old village chief's house.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Yuexuan secretly took back Tu Subo's new clothes, gently put them back in their original place, then turned around, bent down and began to tidy up the clutter in the house.
At this moment, the old lady heard the noise and hurried out, asking bluntly, "Why did you take so long to come back? Didn't you leave early in the morning to catch the carriage?"
Leaving home early in the morning and returning in the evening, this journey takes too long.
Gu Yuexuan had already prepared a set of excuses for this. She calmly explained: "The price of charcoal in the town is low, so I had to go around and finally went to the county town to sell it at a good price."
"What a coincidence! I happened to come across a cloth shop in the county town having a sale on fabric. I used the money my grandmother gave me to buy two and a half bolts of fabric. So, even though it took some time, overall, I still gained something today."
Upon hearing this, the old lady couldn't hide her joy and hurried out to check: "Where is it? Let me see."
