Chapter 7 Three Cloth
When they came out in the morning and went back in the afternoon, Lv Xianger and Zaoer had been shopping for a long time. When the two walked to the door of the Lv's yard with vegetables, the sun was already setting in the west. Moreover, Lv Xianger didn't expect that Song Yuan, who had not seen her for a few days, sat opposite Lv Erniang and talked to her. Xiaotao stood next to Lv Erniang and poured tea for them.
"I didn't expect Mr. Song to come back so soon." Lv Xianger handed over all the dishes in her hand to Zao'er and quickly walked into the room. First, he blessed Song Yuanfu, and then sat next to Lv Erniang and looked at her. Lv Erniang seemed to have a feeling, so she turned her head and quickly disappeared in her eyes, which made Lv Xianger accidentally look straight. Lv Erniang didn't know it. She straightened Lv Xianger's hair and turned around.
Song Yuan, who was opposite, saw this scene. He nodded with a little warmth in his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "I'll be back in the morning. Let's take a look at the homework I left for you."
"Look at your homework?" Lv Xianger was stunned at first. She didn't expect that Song Yuan would also laugh. In Lv Xianger's impression, he is always calm, and he has never laughed loudly even with a smile. There is such a change today, which really makes Lv Xianger not used to it.
When Song Yuan saw Lv Xianger's expression, he also understood that he was a little abrupt. He immediately said, "Xiang'er, didn't you ask me to find a craftsman in Jiangling Mansion? I entrusted an acquaintance and really found an old craftsman. This old man is very good at craft, but he is preparing to harvest because he is too old. In addition, he is very strict and is about to go back to his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River for retirement.
"Really, thank you so much, Mr. Song." When Lv Xianger heard the news, she couldn't help jumping up with joy in her heart.
However, after Lv Erniang looked at her an angry look, Lv Xianger set up to be a lady and slowly sat down. And he also blessed Song Yuan as he entered the house before. It made Song Yuan smile again. Xiaotao couldn't help laughing and quickly hid out. Lu Erniang nodded her daughter's head with tears and laughter, and shook her head herself.
Although Lv Xianger sat down and smiled a lot, her eyes still kept turning. When Song Yuan calmed down, she said again, "Mr. Song, since you have found someone, Xiang'er wants to meet this old craftsman one day."
Song Yuan first looked at Lv Erniang, and then said to Lv Xianger, "I have agreed with that uncle. The day after tomorrow, I will accompany you to discuss with him what you said."
"Oh, thank you for your effort here." Lv Xianger knew in her heart that Song Yuan was this 'middleman'. He must have been careful and very tired to find this craftsman. Next, it still needed to be accompanied by Song Yuan, so Lv Xianger got up again and solemnly thanked Song Yuan.
When Song Yuan saw that Lv Xianger gave herself a big salute and couldn't sit still, he quickly got up and dodged, saying something like Lv Xianger was too polite. When Lv Xianger was not there to thank her, Song Yuan sat down again. When Lv Erniang saw Song Yuan's attitude, she got up and said, "Well, Mr. Song will have a meal here today, which is also Xiang's 'thank you'."
"It's so good. I still prefer to eat the dishes cooked by Er Niang." As soon as Song Yuan finished speaking, he saw Lv Erniang's face blushing slightly. Then he realized that what he said seemed to be wrong. He quickly said, "In fact, Xianger's craftsmanship is also good, but it's too small."
"Mr. Song is right, and Xiang'er's craftsmanship is good." Lv Erniang felt that Lv Erniang's eyes were spinning around her body, so she tried to pretend to be her usual and said politely before she walked out of the room to the kitchen.
When Lv Erniang left, Lv Xianger looked at Song Yuan, which made him feel a little seen through. And this feeling actually appeared on a girl who was less than ten years old, and there was some strange embarrassment in Song Yuan's heart. In the end, he couldn't stand Lv Xianger's eyes. He slowly dissipated this mood on the pretext of going around the yard.
After Song Yuan went out, Lv Xianger noticed that there were three more pieces of cloth on the cabinet in the corner of the room. This is something that Lu Xianger didn't have before she went out in the morning. In her heart, Lv Xianger got up and walked over to have a look. Only then was she sure that the cloth was brought by Song Yuan. Because all the satin shops in Qingshi County don't have such good materials.
Touching the smooth silk, Lv Xianger raised her foot through the crack of the window, looked at Song Yuan outside, and was slightly stunned. It was not until Lv Hong walked into the yard and stood opposite Song Yuan that Lv Xianger felt that her feet were a little sore and seemed to have been standing for a long time.
After dinner, Song Yuan sat for a while. When it was dark, he got up and left the Lu family and returned to a small yard he bought nearby. Zaoer and Xiaotao cleaned up everything and burned a large pot of bath water before returning to the wing room in the backyard to rest.
Lv Erniang's mother and son still sat in the room as usual. Lv Erniang began to make the second winter cotton-padded clothes for Lv Xianger. Lv Hong looked at his book, and the excitement in his eyes had not disappeared since he got home. Lv Xianger counted the time of fruit wine, but from time to time she looked up at Lv Erniang.
When Lv Erniang felt that Lv Xianger's eyes were just about to ask, Lv Hong couldn't help putting down the book and said calmly, "Xiang'er, when I was just eating, I heard from Zao'er that you went out today?"
"Yes, brother. I went out with Zaoer, so I went to a few rice shops to check the price of rice. Lv Xianger saw that Lv Hong interrupted Lv Erniang who wanted to speak, so she lowered her head and looked at the small notebook on the table, but sighed gently in her heart.
Lv Hong didn't notice it. He talked about what happened today's rebel army passing through Qingshi County. Looking at the meaning of his words, Lv Hong should have seen the victorious army from afar. It seemed that Lv Hong was very honored and excited to see this army. Moreover, this kind of 'excited' has not yet calmed down.
Lv Xianger had something in her mind at this time and was not interested in what Lv Hong said at all. Looking at him, Lv Xianger said a little embarrassedly, "Brother, you just see it from afar, but I'm very close. Moreover, if I hadn't found a remote alley, I would have been almost crowded by those onlookers.
"What?" Lv Hong's eyes stared and his voice was high. Lu Erniang was also shocked and pricked her fingers. While putting her finger in her mouth, Lv Erniang ran to Lv Xianger, helped her up and kept looking up and down. Lv Hong put down the book and turned around Lv Xianger. He wanted to see if his sister was injured, but he was afraid that he could not check it in person.
Lv Xianger didn't expect the big movement of Lv Erniang and Lv Hong. She quickly grabbed Lv Erniang's hands and nodded seriously to the mother and said, "A Niang, brother, I'm really not injured. Because I hide quickly with Zaoer, and there is no one nearby at all, so I have nothing to do. Really."
After getting Lv Xianger's reiteous assurance, Lv Erniang and Lv Hong took a breath and returned to their respective positions. However, after being afraid just now, both Lv Erniang and Lv Hong thought that even if Lv Xianger had not been hurt, she must have been frightened and urged her to rest.
Lv Xianger, who didn't want to rest so early, couldn't match Lv Erniang's eyes and Lv Hong's persuasion, so she had to pack up the notebook on her desk and get up. However, when she went to the backyard, Lv Xianger inadvertently 'saw' the three pieces of cloth on the cabinet and sighed 'surprisingly', "What a beautiful satin."
Both Lv Er Niang and Lv Hong raised their heads and looked at the 'beautiful silk and satin' mentioned by Lv Xianger, but Lv Xianger stood aside and secretly observed Lv Erniang. Sure enough, Lv Erniang's face tightened, and then lowered her head and said naturally, "Xiang'er, don't make a fuss. That was brought back by Mr. Song from Jiangling Mansion, saying that he wanted to make clothes for your two brothers and sisters.
"Oh, Mr. Song is really nice. When he comes back from Jiangling Mansion with Lv Xianger, invite him to come home for dinner, Auntie." After waiting for Lv Erniang to agree, Lv Hong looked at the book in his hand again. I only glanced at the three pieces of cloth and didn't care at all.
When Lv Xianger saw this, there was no reason to stay any longer. She continued to raise her feet and walked out of the main room. Back to her room in the backyard, Lv Xianger lay on her ** and felt something wrong. After several years of life, Lv Xianger can be said to have fully adapted to ancient life and knows many ancient taboos.
Today, Song Yuan brought three pieces of cloth, although it was said to make clothes for Lv Hong and his sister. But Lv Xianger can still see that these three different cloths are prepared for three people. Because these three pieces of cloth are clearly distinguished in color and pattern. Lv Hong couldn't see it. She, Lv Xianger, could see it very clearly. Nine times out of ten, the more expensive cloth was bought for Lv Er Niang. Moreover, this cloth should be the most expensive of the three cloths.
An unmarried man gave a cloth to a divorced woman, which was not a casual thing in ancient times, and Song Yuan was also known as 'made clothes for Lv Xianger's brother and sister'. With such an obvious intention, Lv Xianger didn't believe that Lv Erniang couldn't feel it. But what Lu Erniang's heart was, but Lv Xianger didn't know at all.
Lv Erniang is so young, just in her early thirties, and there is still a long way to go. Lv Xianger didn't want to marry Lv Hong. She also married someone and let Lv Erniang live alone. But whether Song Yuan is Lv Er Niang's good man or not, and whether Song Yuan's family can accommodate Lv Er Niang's wife who still has children after leaving, Lv Xianger doesn't know at all.
"It's okay, it's okay. He wants to accompany me to Jiangling Mansion. Why don't I find out his true intentions and his background here. Lv Xianger thought about what kind of background Song Yuan would have and what kind of family he would have, and slowly fell asleep.
