Chapter 155: Wedding Dress
Song Yuntang comforted her, "It's okay. After tomorrow, I will come to the town every day to sell two buckets of sour plum soup and then go back to the farm to make shampoo water with Sister Xier. There should be some in the shop over at Heyang Street. We should be able to collect 700 cans in three days."
"Then my sister will be busy in the next few days." Song Jinsheng said with concern.
Song Yuntang smiled lightly, "It's okay to be busy, as long as there is money to be made."
"The wedding is only eight or nine days away. You have to stay alert these few days and don't overwork yourself on the eve of the wedding." Song Jinsheng said, sighing, "My parents can't help me, and I don't have the ability to clone myself. I can only do my best to reduce your burden."
Seeing that he always remembered his days, Song Yuntang felt a little warm in his heart.
"Don't be too anxious, second brother. I can still use this wooden shed to sell sour plum soup every day. Add to that the income from Heyang Street, and it's more than enough to make back the expenses of the two shops and the labor. After all, life now is much better than before when we couldn't even afford food and clothing."
"That's right." Song Jinsheng looked at her. "By the way, I see you running around these days. Have you prepared your wedding dress?"
When he heard the word wedding dress, Song Yuntang was stunned.
She almost forgot that here, the wedding dress seemed to be prepared by the bride herself.
Some do it by themselves, and some do it with their mothers. All in all, this link is quite important.
It’s just that the needle in her hand is okay for pricking people, but she’s really not good at embroidery.
Zhao's embroidery skills are quite good, but relying on her is like expecting a sow to climb a tree.
"Thanks to my second brother for reminding me, I will go to the clothing store to order it later. There are still eight or nine days left, so I should be able to make it in time."
Song Jinsheng shook his head helplessly.
"Look, you're so busy that you still need me to remind you."
But more of it is heartache.
When other girls get married, their families will help them and they don’t have to worry much. But my sister is now alone outside and doesn’t understand many things. She has to rely on herself for everything. It’s normal that she can’t take care of some aspects.
However, Song Yuntang did not feel aggrieved, she smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"Yes, yes, who asked my second brother to be so nice?"
Song Jinsheng felt relieved after hearing these words, as if all the tiredness of the day had suddenly disappeared.
…
After Song Yuntang closed the door of the tavern, he went to the clothing shop first.
"Miss, are you looking for clothes? Our shop is about to close, so we can give you a discount on anything you want."
It is already 3:00 pm, and the shops on the street are closing one after another so that they can have enough rest to prepare for the Moon Festival tomorrow, hoping to make a fortune during this festival.
Song Yuntang stood in the shop and looked around, looking at the woman in front of him who looked to be in her early twenties and had her hair tied up.
"Sister, can you make a custom wedding dress here?"
"Wedding dress?"
The woman was a little surprised.
Nowadays, isn't it the bride's own wedding dress that is prepared? There are actually people who order it custom-made outside?
Seeing her surprised expression, Song Yuntang said again, "Can't it be custom made? Then forget it."
When the woman saw Song Yuntang was about to leave, she hurried forward and said, "It's not impossible, but I don't know what kind of wedding dress the young lady wants?"
Business has been bad this year.
We have business coming in now, so how can we let the customers go?
Song Yuntang stopped and gestured with his hands.
"It's a simple style, just like this... like this..."
She didn't know what other people were wearing, so she roughly described the Chinese wedding dresses she had seen in photos in her previous life, but omitted the intricate embroidery on the clothes.
Otherwise, if you want to add the embroidery, not only will the price double, but the production period will also be infinitely extended.
A simple-style dress should be able to be made in a few days.
Seeing that the woman still looked confused, Song Yuntang took out a charcoal pencil and paper and simply drew the appearance of the wedding dress.
"How many days does it take to make a wedding dress like this?"
"It will be ready in five days." The woman looked at the blueprint in her hand and said with a smile, "This wedding dress of yours is really unique."
Song Yuntang smiled lightly, "It was just a sudden thought."
The woman put away the blueprint and took a tape measure from the shelf nearby.
"I will measure your size first, and I will ask the embroiderer in the shop to make it tomorrow. Wedding dresses require more fabric than ordinary clothes, and there will be a small amount of embroidery on the dress. The cost is two taels and two cents of silver. If you agree, you can pay half as a deposit, and pay the other half next time you come to pick up the dress."
Song Yuntang stretched out his hand for her to measure.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of it, sister. My wedding is coming soon, so please try not to delay the construction for too long."
It's only the once in a while to get married, so it's reasonable to spend some money.
Who told her she couldn't do it?
The woman said as she measured the size, "Of course, since we said it would take five days, you can come and get it after five days."
After measuring the size, I paid half of the deposit.
When Song Yuntang arrived at the southern suburbs, it was already the hour of Xu and the sky was gradually getting dark.
The academy was not too far from the southern suburbs. Originally, she just went to close the tavern and tell Song Jinsheng about the order, so she didn't let Xu Qingye follow her.
But Xu Qingye waited and waited, and when it was almost dark and she still hadn't come back, he went out to look for her.
Just as he left the southern suburbs, he saw a figure jogging towards him from a distance, waving at him as he ran.
"Xu Qingye."
Maybe it was because she had just ordered her wedding dress, she seemed to have an inexplicable feeling for Xu Qingye in her heart.
Hearing the voice, Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief, with worry hidden in his calm tone.
"Why did you take so long?"
The girl's cheeks flushed as she ran, and her breathing became heavier. "My second brother said that the wedding date is approaching, and asked me if I had prepared the wedding dress. Then I realized that I had neglected this matter before. I just went to the clothing store, so I came a little late."
Xu Qingye was slightly stunned.
"I should have warned you earlier. I thought your mother would have prepared it for you."
Song Yuntang shook his head, without even a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"Let's not talk about her. Now that I've moved out of Rongshu Village, I have to take care of these things myself."
Looking at her indifferent expression, Xu Qingye felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and raised his hand to touch her head.
"There's still time. If the clothing store doesn't accept orders for wedding dresses, I'll ask my mother to prepare them for you."
Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head.
"Don't bother aunt. She must be busy with household affairs during this period, as she is busy with farming and getting married. I have already ordered the wedding dress, and I will pick it up in five days."
Xu Qingye nodded and naturally took her hand.
"The food is on the table, just in time to eat it when we get home."
Looking at his hand wrapped in the man's big palm, Song Yuntang felt a strange emotion in his heart.
It has been a long time since her parents passed away in her previous life and no one has taken her home for dinner like this.
