Cheng Chen lay in bed for a while, feeling sleepy again was out of the question. He then remembered that Cheng Yunfei needed to go to the academy today, so he asked, "Where's Feifei?"
"I sent him to become an apprentice this morning, and now Uncle Sun is here to pick him up for lunch." Wang Yu said as he was about to pick him up.
Cheng Chen didn't let him. He was already very embarrassed. If he was hugged, he might not be able to leave the house today. "I can get up by myself."
Wang Yu didn't force it. He turned around and went to the closet to get Cheng Chen's clothes and put them on him. Then he kissed him on the lips and said, "Rest for a while after dinner."
Cheng Chen nodded. Although he was shy, he was happier. He still felt a little uncomfortable, but it didn't affect his walking. He got up, washed up, walked to the window and stretched. He saw the sunlight coming in from outside. The weather was really nice.
Wang Yu hugged him from behind and said, "I'm going to the prefectural school in two days. I'll take you for a stroll tomorrow. Do you still want to go to the Yan Gui Tower?"
Cheng Chen nodded and said that she could go anywhere as long as she was with her husband.
At lunch, Wang's mother looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. Wang Yu had asked her to make the arrangements before, and she just remembered that when Cheng Chen got married, nothing was prepared, not even a wedding gift, she just decorated the room a little.
Wang Yu was in a coma, and no one was invited or the wedding ceremony was held. The mother just had a simple cup of tea. She really felt guilty towards him, so when Wang's mother decorated the bridal chamber yesterday, she was very attentive.
Wang Chengchen felt embarrassed to be seen by his mother, but luckily Feifei was at the dinner table. Wang Yu asked Feifei how his morning was at the academy.
Cheng Yunfei: "Very good, the teacher is very good, and the classmates are also very nice. They all like the candy I brought over this morning."
In the morning, when Wang Yu sent Feifei to the academy, he put some candies in his school basket, so that he could share them with his classmates in the classroom and build good relationships with his classmates, for fear that he would be bullied because he was new there.
Wang Yu nodded and smiled, "That's good. Study hard. If you don't understand something, you can ask the teacher or go home and ask me."
"Yeah." Cheng Yunfei nodded. He would study hard and become as good as his uncle.
After lunch, Wang Yu asked Cheng Chen to rest for a while, rubbed his waist for a while, and after coaxing him to sleep, he went to the study to read.
On the second day, the two dressed up, had breakfast, and took a carriage to the Nanjiang River. It was the end of March, late spring and early summer, but the weather was not hot, and there was still some coolness in the gentle breeze.
The cherry, peach, pear, and apricot blossoms planted along the river were all in full bloom, appearing exceptionally gorgeous. Even the weeping crabapple, known as the most beautiful of flowers, had blossomed, some with delicate, subtle, and bright petals like rouge, while others, with their petals spread out like the morning glow, were a dazzling speck of beauty.
Wang Yu broke off a kite and pinned it on Cheng Chen's head, making her look more beautiful than the flowers. There were many people enjoying the spring by the river, and some small vendors selling kites and drinks. There were also all kinds of kites flying in the sky.
"Want to fly a kite?"
Of course Cheng Chen thought that the kites he flew when he was a child were made by himself, and they were not as beautiful as these. Cheng Chen went to the stall and chose a butterfly kite, which was colorful and very beautiful.
Wang Yu held the kite from behind, while Cheng Chen ran in front, pulling the string. The kite soon flew into the sky. Wang Yu praised her husband for flying the kite so well. Cheng Chen, now looking like a young man, raised his chin and said, "Of course!"
Wang Yu laughed out loud and liked her husband's look very much. They played for a while and then went to a stall to buy a bowl of Jade Berry Spring Mash to quench their thirst. Jade Berry Spring Mash was made from strawberries, dried roses and rice wine. It had a sweet and sour taste and Cheng Chen liked it very much.
After a short break, Cheng Chen took the kite and the two of them slowly walked along the river. There were endless boats in the river and children chasing and playing on the river bank. Everywhere was full of life and the scenery was pleasant.
We walked to Yangui Tower and then to the top floor. The river view at this time was much better than when we first arrived. The temperature was suitable, and the Nanjiang River meandered like a giant dragon. The water and sky were one color, and ships shuttled back and forth on the river, showing the prosperity and bustle of the city.
The two of them stopped upstairs and looked around for a while, and they felt their vision open up and their spirits refreshed.
They did not take a carriage on the way back. In their leisure time, they walked slowly back on the street. When they came across something interesting or beautiful, they would stop to look at it for a while, or buy it.
At noon, they had lunch at Baiweilou and then went shopping in the market. The city was divided into three main streets, East Street, West Street and South Street. Their house was close to East Street. In addition to the main street, there were also many alleys.
They were strolling along West Street at the moment, and were looking at clay figurines in front of a clay sculpture stall. There were people and animals, all sculpted to look very lifelike. Wang Yu asked the stall owner to make a pair of human figures for them.
He was indeed a skilled worker. After a short while, the prototypes of the two characters came out. The stall owner carefully pinched the facial features, and after they were ready, he simply added some color. The two characters were lifelike, and the one with the round eyes was obviously Cheng Chen.
The stall owner knew that they were a couple, so he put the two clay figures together when he was making them. At this time, Cheng Chen was holding the clay figure with a smile in his eyes.
Suddenly, a quarrel was heard not far ahead. Wang Yu looked up and saw that it was the door of a cloth shop. The waiter was pushing a woman and could vaguely hear the sound.
"Please take another look. I embroidered it very well. Please give me more."
"Go away, go away! You're asking too much! Others only charge three or four cents for a handkerchief, but you're asking seven. Sell it to me or not!"
The people around also pointed at the woman, so she had to put away the basket and walked away. When she passed by them, she missed a handkerchief. Wang Yu went forward to pick it up and took a look. It was indeed well embroidered with delicate stitches. He turned it over and saw that it was double-sided embroidery!
Wang Yu quickly stepped forward and called out to the woman, returning the handkerchief to her. The woman thanked Wang Yu and prepared to leave.
Wang Yu called the woman again and said he wanted to discuss something with her. The three of them walked to the tea shop next door and ordered three cups of tea.
After the three of them sat down, Wang Yu expressed his thoughts. In fact, Wang Yu had been thinking about going to the provincial school to study, and what Cheng Chen could do at home. He couldn't always let him wait for him at home, so he had to do something to pass the time.
He knew that Cheng Chen liked to embroider things. He embroidered the clothes, handkerchiefs, and purses in the house himself. The patterns were very creative. He knew it from seeing him embroider the samples he drew before.
However, she has never received any systematic training and only knows simple embroidery techniques. She thought that since Cheng Chen has such a talent, he should be well trained so that he has something to do. Today, she met someone who can do double-sided embroidery. With such skills, his embroidery skills must be good, so of course she cannot miss him.
The woman was very surprised when she heard Wang Yu asked her to be his master. She learned embroidery from her grandmother, who used to be an embroiderer in the palace. However, when the previous emperor unified the country and the country was in chaos, her grandmother escaped from the palace and settled here.
Her mother did not have this talent, but her grandmother passed on her embroidery skills to her. She had also worked in an embroidery workshop before, but she did not expect that her embroidery was so good that she was praised by the manager. However, she was framed by jealous people and accused of stealing the embroidery thread from the workshop and was kicked out.
Because she was suspected of stealing, no one in the city was willing to take her in. She could only embroider some handkerchiefs and sachets at home and sell them in the shop. She didn't expect to encounter this incident today.
