She also picked out two pairs of silver earrings, one pair in the shape of lilacs and the other pair with small jade pendants, as well as a rose gold hairpin, which were particularly elegant and beautiful.
Xu Han took a liking to the rose hairpin at first sight and immediately felt that it belonged to her, and she couldn't stand the others at all.
Lu Chuan was very generous and bought it for her directly. After paying, Lu Chuan took Xu Han to a fabric shop.
Xu Han selected some silk fabrics, as well as patterned cotton fabrics and other materials.
The fabrics I bought this time were all on the more expensive side, and I also bought some for Lu Chuan.
However, Lu Chuan insisted on not buying too much, feeling that he couldn't fit into the clothes. In the end, at Xu Han's insistence, he bought a better piece of fabric.
The rest of the fabric was Xu Han's own. Xu Han thought happily that when she wasn't so busy anymore, she could finally dress up a bit.
Before leaving, Xu Han glanced at the cotton cloth and thought it was pretty good, so she asked about the price. It was even cheaper than what she could buy in the county town!
I had originally planned to buy some more fabric, and since the price seemed right, I decided to buy it all at once, along with the cotton I needed.
After Xu Han finished choosing, she asked the shopkeeper to calculate the price and then asked the shopkeeper to send her some fabric scraps and thread.
Seeing that the two had bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper not only gave them some freebies, but also offered to deliver them to their door.
Lu Chuan didn't stand on ceremony and left his address with the shopkeeper. Then the two of them held hands and continued to stroll through the night market.
When the streets were almost deserted, the two headed towards the inn.
Back at the inn, the novelty of wanting to go shopping vanished instantly, and coupled with the fatigue of the journey, I felt extremely tired.
After ordering hot water to wash up, Xu Han fell asleep as soon as she saw Lu Chuan, without even waiting for him to go to bed.
After washing up, Lu Chuan looked at his wife, who was lying sprawled out, and smiled helplessly. He changed Xu Han into a more comfortable position, covered her with a blanket, and then lay down to rest.
The next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Xu Han slowly woke up. Seeing that Lu Chuan was not in the room, she turned over and continued to doze off.
After a while, Lu Chuan came in with breakfast and saw Xu Han resting with her eyes closed, so he pulled her up.
"Hurry up and get up and wash up! We'll go shopping again later and see if there's anything else you want to buy," Lu Chuan said.
Seeing that Xu Han was about to get dressed, he went to call hot water for her to wash up.
After breakfast, Xu Han regained her energy. It was daytime now, and she could see more clearly than she had last night.
I couldn't help but marvel at how prosperous this city was! It had a wonderfully antique feel to it.
"This prefectural city is already so prosperous, I wonder what the capital city is like?" Xu Han couldn't help but say.
“The capital is even more prosperous than this! The road in the middle is very wide, and the shops on both sides are also very bustling,” Lu Chuan replied.
"You've been to the capital?" Xu Han couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Yes! I lived there for a few years when I was little. I'll tell you about it when we go back. If you want to go sometime, I'll take you."
Lu Chuan could tell what Xu Han wanted to ask from her expression, but now was not the time to talk about it. He would tell her slowly when they got home.
Xu Han stopped asking questions after hearing Lu Chuan's response, and the two continued shopping.
We walked and stopped along the way, buying whatever we needed. At noon, we found a crowded restaurant and had lunch.
In the afternoon, Lu Chuan took Xu Han in a carriage to the grain shop to buy unhulled grain.
After buying another 5,000 jin of grain, they stopped, and now they no longer had to worry about not having enough food.
After resting for a while at the inn, the two went out together again as it got dark.
The streets were bustling with people, and lanterns were lit in many places.
For a moment, the entire street was brightly lit, and there were also many performances.
There were acrobatic performances and stilt walkers, but the most exciting were the dragon and lion dances and the lantern riddle guessing game.
Xu Han pulled Lu Chuan along with the performers. After watching for a while, they felt hungry and found another place to have dinner.
After dinner, Lu Chuan and Xu Han bought another lantern together, one with a rabbit and the other with a tiger.
The lanterns are so lifelike and adorable. They are all woven from bamboo strips, with a layer of paper pasted on top to decorate the eyes and facial features.
Xu Han was carrying two lanterns, and Lu Chuan was holding two lotus lanterns, which they were going to set off later.
The two walked to the riverbank, where many people were already releasing lanterns. Lu Chuan led Xu Han to a spot and they began releasing their lanterns.
"I hope that the days to come will be peaceful and smooth." Xu Han put her hands together and began to make a wish.
After making a wish, the lantern was placed in the river, and it floated away on the river in an instant.
"What did you wish for?" Xu Han asked.
“I won’t tell you, because if you tell me your wish, it won’t come true,” Lu Chuan said.
"Tch, so stingy! Fine, don't tell me then! I don't want to know anyway!" With that, she got up and started walking back.
Lu Chuan stood there alone, smiling to himself, thinking to himself, "My wish, of course, is for you to stay by my side forever."
Lu Chuan was really afraid that one day Xu Han would suddenly leave him. He knew he wouldn't be able to accept it at all, so he could only selfishly hope that she could stay by his side forever.
Of course, if Xu Han is particularly unhappy staying here, then I certainly won't force her to stay.
If you love her, you should make her happy and let her do what she wants. If possible, you should also accompany her.
"Aren't you leaving yet? You won't be able to find me in a minute," Xu Han called out as she turned around.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan quickly chased after him, and the two of them held hands and went into the crowd together.
There were so many people on the streets tonight, it was so crowded that sometimes I couldn't control where I was going and I got squeezed into the crowd and couldn't get out.
Lu Chuan was afraid that the two would get separated, so he held Xu Han's hand and followed closely behind her.
After strolling around all night, the two of them felt hungry again, so they headed towards the snack stall to have another late-night meal.
While eating, Xu Han's eyes kept glancing into the crowd.
After finishing their meal, they continued strolling around until the crowds gradually dispersed. Only then did Lu Chuan lead Xu Han towards the inn.
"It's so lively today! It's my first time seeing a dragon and lion dance up close! It's so amazing and super cool!" Xu Han said excitedly as she walked.
