Chapter 480: Tailor

  Chapter 480 Tailoring

"Just make an agreement with people, but don't invite more people. If I know, I will have one. If I don't know, I will have four." Li Xuemei smiled and shook her head: "Don't make the battle so big, An Xiao I don’t mind if the doctor invites me, let’s forget about the next doctor.”

  Yan Er Er thought about it and agreed.

  He raised his chin, looked at the wooden box on the kang table and asked, "Where did you get it? It looks pretty delicate, did your wife give it to you?"

   "The one from the palace sent it from Nanny Cai." Li Xuemei opened the wooden box, and there were candied fruits separated inside. The box was exquisite, and the six snacks inside were also delicious, sweet and sour.

   "Why are you here again? What's the matter this time?" Second Yan asked casually.

  Li Xuemei picked out a piece of preserved peach and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's still the plum appreciation feast. It is said that many people bring their children there, so my wife can also bring their children to play and get to know each other. I didn't come empty-handed, so I sent this box. My wife opened it and gave it to me. gone."

   "Then let Qianchu and Xiaoer go with Master Mistress, it's good to see the world." Yan Laoer said.

  Li Xuemei pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Your daughter is a boy to the outside world. You said she went, did she get together with boys, or play with girls?"

  Yan’s second child: …

   "Hey! Let her struggle on her own, it's up to her whether to go or not."

   "Master took Qian Chu out, I heard that she was going to buy cloth to make new clothes." Li Xuemei said.

  Yan Laoer patted the head of the kang: "Oh, I forgot about this, I have to do it, I don't have to have a decent one to go to a banquet, what we made before is to wear it at home..."

   "Well, I told you just to remind you, don't mention money to my wife, she can spend it if she wants."

  Yan Laoer nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I have to discuss it with the teacher later, plan his salary, and set aside a sum for the teacher's wife."

  Li Xuemei smiled and nodded, that's what she meant.

  It's not that Mr. Tian doesn't give it, but it's that he doesn't give it much, that is, the wife can earn some money to supplement the family, otherwise I don't know how to be short of money.

  …

   "Ah! I can go too?" Yan Yu was overjoyed when she learned that she also had her own share in the plum feast.

   "You can go, let me take the children, but think about it for yourself, what capacity do you want to go with, the girl of the Yan family, or the boy of the Yan family." Yan Lao Er said with a smile.

  Yan Yu didn't struggle for a while, and suddenly became enlightened.

"Of course I want to be with grandma and eldest sister, hahaha! Those who can go to the banquet are all official ladies. Usually, they don't go out of the gate, and if they don't meet, don't worry at all." She pointed to herself Said: "Besides, I just go to eat and drink, who can notice me."

Second Yan agrees: "That's right, he's much older than your senior official. If it wasn't for the lawsuit a few days ago, Shi Zifei wouldn't even know that Master's wife is in Fucheng...how is the kang? Can it be burned? I think it’s almost done here, there are some small tasks left, and it’s not too late to do it after moving in.”

   Compared with the concubine's plum feast, Yan's second child is more concerned about when to move.

"There is no problem with the kang. Both sides of the stove have been added. If you want to move it, you can move it tomorrow. However, grandma showed me a few days and said that doing business pays attention to these things. The nearest one is the day after tomorrow. Dad, let's decide on that day." Yan Yu said.

"Okay, then follow your grandma." Yan Laoer said about asking the steady wife: "...tomorrow I will ask Dr. An to check your mother's pulse. It's time to finish his pancakes, so give him some more."

"Father, bring another jar of pickled sauerkraut from our family. I sent it last time. Grandpa Wang said that our family pickled it well. Hehe, Grandpa Wang is still taking care of our family's business, so he sent charcoal several times." Yan Yu's eyes smiled into two crescents.

  Since sending charcoal to the palace, the officials guarding the city gate have never asked them for money to enter the city, but it has saved a lot of money.

   "Then let me make up four. We haven't moved around since we moved here. They take good care of us, so we have to say that we will be closer in the future. If you have anything to do, just come to the shop."

  …

   "Grandma, this piece of material looks good, and this one looks good too. Grandma, you have a good eye!" Yan Yu's small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, which made Mrs. Tian very happy.

   "Just like it, look at this pink, how bright it is, our daughter's skin is all white, and this color complements it, and other children can't wear it.

   This piece of purple is reserved for your mother.

   This belongs to your father and your uncle, and Qian Chu and I immediately fell in love with it. This crow-blue color is hard for ordinary people to suppress.

   There is also this white tooth, for Heng Er.

  Qing'er also has it. This small piece of apricot yellow is left over from someone else's tearing up. It's not enough for an adult. Qing'er's stature is small, which is just right. "

   "Grandma, which one are you?" Yan Yu didn't seem to see Mrs. Tian.

   "Grandma also picked a piece, and left it for the cloth workshop to make." Mrs. Tian said.

  Yan Yu looked at the eldest sister, and Qian Chu nodded slightly at her.

   "Master, why do you still have mine? I have a big belly, so I wasted it..." Li Xuemei thought that Mrs. Tian picked the dark purple color for herself, but she didn't expect it to be hers.

   Mrs. Tian said: "If the clothes are made small, you can't change them to be big. If they are big, can't you change them to small? The winter solstice is over and the new year is coming. Our family will wear new clothes."

  Li Xuemei sighed secretly in her heart, it was a bit of a waste.

  The new clothes made by their family before, in her opinion, are very good, but this is the kindness of the teacher's wife, and it is hard to push it in time for the banquet of the palace.

   "Here we come! Stewed sauerkraut with lamb bones! Xiaoer, put it on the table!" Yan Laoer shouted as he walked.

  Yan Yu hurriedly took all the fabrics aside, and set the kang table.

  Yan Lao Er directly brought up the basin and put it in the middle.

  Nurse Rong served the rice and backed out.

   Mrs. Tian also knew in the past few days that Mrs. Rong doesn't like to eat at the same table with them. She was unwilling to persuade her twice, so she didn't mention it.

  Remembered something, said to Li Xuemei: "I still have a piece of material in the box, after dinner you can take it to Rong Niangzi, and make a suit for her too."

   "Master, our family is in charge of Miss Rong's clothes for the four seasons, and we have made them, not short of her." Li Xuemei said.

   "That's different, I gave it to her." Mrs. Tian insisted.

  Yan Lao Er saw how serious she was, and said: "Then do it, Mrs. Rong is busy working hard, so we should do more."

  Li Xuemei looked at him helplessly, what do you know, although the cloths I bought today are all cotton cloths, but the cloths are already expensive, plus the handwork of tailoring, the cost is too much.

  Add another piece of material for the bottom of the box.

  Yan's second son didn't receive the message from his wife, so he kept adding food to Mrs. Tian.

   "Master, you eat more meat...

  Master, how are you eating our homemade sauerkraut? Our fellow countrymen are so rare...

  Master, you drink the soup, the nutrition of the sheep bones are all stewed in the soup..."

   The second watch is coming~

   By the way, what Zhaijia eats today is stewed sauerkraut with lamb bones, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~
