After finishing his meal and returning to the bedroom, Fu Hanzhou began to discuss with Qin Ying what needed to be prepared for the celebration banquet.
Because she realized Qin Meihua's possible intention, Qin Ying no longer reminded Fu Hanzhou to be careful of Qin Meihua.
She has her own plans.
Fu Hanzhou kept this in mind. In order to prepare for the celebration banquet, he did not go to the army for the past two days.
He privately instructed his guard Xiaocheng to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the auditorium in the compound, paying special attention to Qin Meihua, and report any unusual behavior to him immediately.
In the afternoon, Xu Jinshu sat on the sofa in the living room reading a book, while Qin Ying and Fu Hanzhou sat on the side estimating how many tables of banquets would be needed, focusing on who to invite and what dishes would be needed.
Qin Ying didn't really understand any of this, and since she didn't know anyone here, she couldn't offer any useful advice or suggestions. Most of the time, it was Fu Hanzhou who talked, and she just listened.
Xu Jinshu put down the book, looked at them for a while, and said with a gentle smile on his face:
"Hanzhou, you can handle these matters on your own. Be generous and make arrangements for narrow expenses. Invite everyone you can. This is a big happy event for our family. I won't help you. I want to take Yingying shopping for clothes. She must dress beautifully for the celebration party. We need to let everyone know that our daughter-in-law is both talented and beautiful."
As he was speaking, Fu Hanting came down from the stairs. She worked the night shift last night and had been sleeping since she got off work.
Xu Jinshu continued:
"It's just right. Tingting can come with us to pick out some new clothes for them."
Qin Ying raised her head, with a look of surprise and hesitation on her face, and quickly waved her hands:
"Mom, don't bother. I have clothes to wear."
Xu Jinshu took off his glasses and spoke in a friendly tone that could not be refused:
"That won't do. We can't just have a celebration party. We have to have new clothes."
"Mom, no need. I haven't worn the clothes Hanzhou bought for me last time!"
"Last time was for last time, today is for today. Young people should have more clothes."
After she said this, she seemed to realize something, and turned to look at Fu Hanzhou:
"Hanzhou, why don't you take Yingying and Tingting with you? You young people have good taste and will definitely be able to pick out the right ones. Take Yingying out for a walk too. She's been staying at home all day and hasn't had a good time exploring the city."
Before Fu Hanzhou could speak, he heard Fu Hanting say unhappily:
"Forget it, I'm not going. I won't be a second-in-command for them. Mom, you really don't know how to plan. I'm going to eat now. I'm starving!"
She muttered, looked at Qin Ying with a teasing expression, a half-smile in her eyes, and went into the kitchen to find something to eat.
Xu Jinshu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected this question. He nodded with a knowing smile on his face.
"Yes, then you two can go by yourselves."
Fu Hanzhou put down what he was recording and looked at Qin Ying:
"Let's go."
“No… no need for that!”
Qin Ying was still hesitating, and Fu Hanzhou took her hand:
"Don't dawdle, obey orders!"
Hearing his overbearing tone, she hit his arm rudely and complained:
"Whose orders are these! Whose orders are these! You're still acting so arrogantly at home!"
"Our mother's order!"
Fu Hanzhou spoke calmly, with a smile on his lips, looking a bit naughty.
“…”
Qin Ying shut up awkwardly, turned her head to meet Xu Jinshu's smiling eyes, and felt a little embarrassed:
"Mom, let's go out!"
After saying that, he followed Fu Hanzhou out the door.
This is Qin Ying's second time shopping in the department store. Last time she came alone, and now she is with Fu Hanzhou.
Yancheng is a first-tier city, and the clothes in the department store are updated very quickly. The last time she came here to buy a skirt for Fu Hanting, the styles were different.
Although it was hot, there were still a lot of people shopping, and the shelves were filled with all kinds of goods.
Although she was not very fond of these clothes, she was infected by the strong historical atmosphere here.
Brightly colored fabrics, printed bed sheets, various crystal sandals, very vintage radios, bicycles, timeless enamel pots, bamboo-shell thermoses...
It was like visiting a museum of an era. Qin Ying was so fascinated by the scene that she completely forgot what she was there for.
Fu Hanzhou noticed her reaction and was surprised for a moment. He lowered his eyes slightly, with a flash of pity on his face. He moved his mouth for a long time before saying in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, I've been neglecting you and not caring enough about you. I should have taken you out for a walk earlier. I'll buy you everything you like today!"
Qin Ying was stunned for a moment, feeling a little puzzled by his "I'm sorry".
Looking at him with a confused look:
"ah?"
"I saw you were curious. I should have brought you here sooner. It's my fault!"
Fu Hanzhou took her hand and led her to a counter where various daily necessities were sold.
"Just pick whatever you like."
Qin Ying looked around and saw vanishing cream, clam oil, Pechoin, hair oil...
this……
Brother, I'm curious because I've never seen... never seen such an antique!
Did she just act too country? She looked like she had never seen the world.
"Do you think I look like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden?"
Qin Ying smiled, picked up the vanishing cream in front of her and smelled it. It smelled quite nice!
Before she even said whether she wanted it or not, Fu Hanzhou had already started paying:
"Pack these up!"
He explained as he paid:
"This is Yancheng. It's normal that you haven't seen it before. I'll accompany you out when I'm free."
The salesperson packed the bag, Fu Hanzhou reached out to take it, and took her hand to continue shopping at other counters.
"I'm curious about this simply because... I saw it for real!"
"Have you ever seen a fake one?"
Fu Hanzhou raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
Of course, I've only seen it on TV!
"I heard... I told you, let's go buy some clothes!"
Qin Ying didn't want to continue this topic and pulled him towards the wardrobe counter.
Standing in front of the counter, Fu Hanzhou looked at the various dresses hanging above and raised his chin:
"Whichever one you like, go try it on."
"Which one do you like?"
Qin Ying's unconscious words inexplicably made Fu Hanzhou's mouth curl up slightly. He stood in front of the shelf, picked up a light blue floral dress, and compared it to her:
"This one is nice, it should suit you, go try it on."
Qin Ying took the skirt and walked into the fitting room.
After a while, she came out and immediately caught people's attention.
The cut of this skirt fits her figure perfectly, making her tall figure even more graceful, and her slender waist shows off her charm. The color of the skirt and her cool temperament make her look beautiful and charming, and her exposed skin is so white that it is glowing.
Fu Hanzhou looked at her, his eyes flashing with surprise, and nodded continuously:
“It looks very nice.”
