Chapter 87 Cotton Clothes
Sew it yourself? Xu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment. If she were to sew it, then Song Wushao would never be able to wear it.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Miaomiao nodded and pointed to a few pieces of plain fabric beside her and said, "Pack these up for me."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper readily agreed and packed everything Xu Miaomiao needed.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao got home and had dinner, she pulled Gu Yuanniang into the house.
"What's wrong with Miaomiao?" Gu Yuanniang asked curiously as she watched her take out a lot of fresh ingredients.
"Sixth Lady, teach me how to make clothes."
"Making clothes?" Gu Yuanniang was startled by her sudden enthusiasm, but then she understood and teased Xu Miaomiao: "Oh, you are making clothes for your husband, right?"
Xu Miaomiao's thoughts were exposed by Gu Yuanniang, and her face blushed a little.
"Okay, okay, teach me."
Gu Yuanniang didn't tease her. She lit the lamp and carefully taught her how to make clothes.
Song Wu Shao looked at the woman who had not come back for a long time, feeling puzzled but ultimately he did not ask.
"Why are you back so late?"
Song Wu Shao looked at the woman walking tiptoe in the room and asked.
It was already getting light outside. Xu Miaomiao stood there in a daze like a child caught by his parents for coming home late. “I, I’m in Liu Niang’s room.”
The air was so quiet that even the sound of a silver needle falling could be heard. Xu Miaomiao did not dare to move. When did Song Wushao become so concerned about her whereabouts?
Putting the robe in her hand on the table, Xu Miaomiao climbed onto the bed and said, "Wear this today. It will be cold in winter."
Song Wu Shao, who was changing clothes, was stunned. He looked at the exquisite robe on the table and was speechless. He carefully stroked the robe with his fingertips and said in a tone of disbelief: "Is this for me?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded and yawned: "I'm not very skilled, some of the stitches are not done well, you have to wear it as it is."
"Um."
Song Wu Shao hummed softly, and his cheeks were flushed red. The soft touch spread at his fingertips. This was the clothes that Xu Miaomiao made for him. When he thought of this, he felt warm in his heart.
"ah-"
The sun was at the center of the sky when Xu Miaomiao lazily came out of the house. She had stayed up late last night sewing clothes for Song Wushao, but she was fine now.
She quickly put on her clothes and rushed to the market. Today was the first time that the department store and the Osmanthus Shop had a joint sale, so she had to go early.
As soon as I arrived at the shop, I saw Xuguo had not opened the shop yet and was counting the goods with Boss Li.
"Ms. Xu is here." The man bowed to Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
"Shopkeeper Li." Xu Miaomiao returned the greeting slightly, her eyes attracted by the lion dance pastry beside her.
The style is very exquisite, comparable to the ones she made, and the packaging is also impeccable.
But Xu Miaomiao was a little puzzled when she saw the mist beads on the wrapping paper. She felt something was wrong, so she immediately opened one to take a look.
Sure enough, the originally golden pastry turned moldy, with tiny mold spots appearing on it.
"What's going on?"
Xu Miaomiao asked while holding the pastries.
Li Eryuan was also panicked, looking at the things in Xu Miaomiao's hand in disbelief: "It's impossible, we clearly checked it, how could this happen, Madam Xu, believe me, we really checked these cakes."
Xu Miaomiao lowered her eyes and remained silent. She trusted Li Eryuan's character, but the pastry turned out like this, there must be someone behind it: "Boss Li, after it was made, has anyone seen it?"
"No, they are all old people here."
The man spoke slowly, and after a long while he seemed to remember something, and said with sudden realization: "By the way, Madam Chunhe came here and bought almond cakes. She asked about this awakening lion cake, and I said I made it with you."
Xu Miaomiao sneered in her heart, thinking that Chunhe was probably behind this: "It's okay, go back and make some more, and we'll reprocess them. It will definitely be in time."
The man nodded and looked at the pastries in confusion, but he had no choice but to make them again.
"Hey, what wind brings you here, Miaomiao?"
Mother Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao, who seldom came here, and asked curiously.
"Mom, what a beauty you have here."
"Beauty?" Mother Zhang looked Xu Miaomiao up and down curiously, then asked, "Want to take a concubine for your husband?"
"Mrs. Zhang, just come and find me. Don't ask any other questions." As he said that, Xu Miaomiao took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve and stuffed them into the woman's hand.
When she saw so many banknotes, Mother Zhang burst out laughing and patted Xu Miaomiao's hand happily: "Oh, no problem, no problem."
After a while, the four girls, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, stood in front of Xu Miaomiao.
"These are all my good girls, just take a look."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and looked at the four people in front of her.
Chunchun is petite and cute, Xiaxia is sexy and charming, Qiuqiu is dignified and generous, but this Dongdong is pitiful to me, like a little white flower.
Xu Miaomiao made a prompt decision and pointed at Dongdong: "Mother Zhang, she's the one."
He took out a pile of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them into the woman's pocket: "I want to redeem her."
Seeing how much money there was, Mother Zhang had no objection at all and immediately went to get the indenture contract and gave it to Xu Miaomiao.
"Madam, do you want me to be your mistress?" Dongdong asked curiously in the carriage.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Do you know Mr. Cui in town?"
"Of course I know him." Dong Dong nodded: "He is a frequent visitor here."
"I will give you to him."
"Oh?" Dong Dong's eyes lit up. If he could follow Mr. Cui, he would be rich and never have to worry about food and drink. "Are you serious?"
The woman asked curiously, but Xu Miaomiao did not answer her.
After a long time, the carriage stopped at the official's house, and Dongdong finally believed it.
"Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"
"That's right." Xu Miaomiao nodded. As expected, the girl she liked was smart. "I want you to help me keep an eye on that Chunhe girl. If she has any bad intentions, just tell me."
"Okay." Dongdong nodded. A few words in exchange for a lifetime of wealth and glory, she was not stupid, so she naturally knew what to choose.
"What do you want from me?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at the man in front of her and said, "Your Excellency has a big family and a great fortune. Miaomiao is also a little girl trying to make a living in this town. I hope you will take good care of me in the future. Miaomiao brought a gift specially this time."
As he spoke, Dongdong walked out slowly with light steps.
The reason why Mr. Cui did not take a concubine before was probably because Chunhe had controlled him. He redeemed Dongdong and sent her to his house personally. She had no reason to refuse.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Dongdong, Mr. Cui stood up anxiously, his eyes drooling, staring at the beauty intently.
Dongdong was also an expert at this. He half-covered his face and exchanged glances with Mr. Cui.
"Sure, sure."
The man spoke perfunctorily, but his heart was already hooked by the beauty.
