Chapter 87 New Clothes
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "When the Yamen's surveillance is no longer so tight, I will arrange for Hu Quanyi to leave."

----

"Tanghuluer."

This melodious cry instantly attracted Zheng Baba and Chu Wei to analyze the old man's Xinnuo. What a coincidence, the person who shouted the candied haws was the same vendor who Xinnuo had suggested to make stuffed candied haws.

This time, there were several circles of candied haws filled with red bean paste and mung bean paste stuck on the pile of candied haws on his shoulders.

Xinnuo asked for several of this and that, and then only gave one to Chu Wei.

Chu Wei looked at the generous girl and said with a smile: "I am a grown man. It is not appropriate to eat this on the street. Leave one for me and eat it when I get to the Yamen."

Xinnuo thought for a while and handed him several candied haws in her hand. "If you don't want to eat it, you can hold it for me."

This should be more damaging to the dignity of a man than eating candied haws on the street.

But after looking at the girl, Chu Wei shook his head, holding the stack of paper and pen in one hand and a few candied haws in the other, walking side by side with her.

The first day at work was quite enjoyable, but Xin Nuo and Aunt Wu returned to Cheng Mansion before the hour.

As soon as Cheng Pu got out of the sedan, he saw the back of his daughter walking into the corner door and called out: "Nuo'er."

Xinnuo turned around, smiled and said, "Hello, father."

Cheng Pu strode over, looked at her simple attire, frowned and asked, "What are you doing dressed like this?"

"We went to play. Is there anything wrong with father?"

"Your grandmother asked you to learn etiquette, but it's only been a few days, and you haven't learned it yet?" Cheng Pu kept frowning, "Compared to those girls who have been learning all kinds of etiquette since they were young, you are far behind. You need to be more attentive."

Xinnuo knew their plan, and used the same excuse to Cheng Pu as she did to Mrs. Cheng, "I'm not going out to play, Master Chu invited me to go out to play."

what?
Cheng Pu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"The Lord Chu you are talking about is Marquis Ruiming?"

"Yeah," Xinnuo nodded.

Cheng Pu: I always feel like something is wrong, but I don’t know exactly what is wrong.

"Say," he asked the servant girl who was following behind.

Aunt Wu doesn't listen to anyone except the young lady. It's natural for her to lie right now, "What the young lady said is true. Mr. Chu invited the young lady out."

Cheng Pu reluctantly believed it and said, "When you go out, pay attention to the identity of Miss Cheng's family."

Xin Nuo nodded and said he understood.

When I walked to the second door, I met a maid approaching, "Sir, Miss Second. Madam, please come and discuss something with me."

Ever since Cheng Pu announced yesterday that Yuan Chen and his master would come to propose marriage to Cheng Xueyao in a few days, Mrs. Cheng had been extremely busy, looking for this and that.

Xinnuo saluted Cheng Pu, "Father, I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first. Could you please explain it to my mother for me?"

Cheng Pu waved his hand. He didn't like his wife's attitude toward the child, so he didn't want to force her to be more filial.

Cheng Xueyao was also in Mrs. Cheng's yard. When Cheng Pu came, she hurriedly got up from the posture of a monkey on her mother's body. When she received the gift, she still had an uncontrollable shy smile on her face.

"Excuse me." Cheng Pu's attitude was not very good and he did not sit down. He directly asked Mrs. Cheng: "Why did you come to see me?"

Mrs. Cheng glanced outside and said, "Nuo'er hasn't come back yet? Now she is the daughter of the Cheng family, and she keeps disappearing day by day."

Cheng Pu frowned and said, "I asked her to go and rest first. You are preparing a dowry for Yao'er. What's the use of asking her to come?"

Mrs. Cheng's eyes turned red and she asked, "Do I not feel sorry for her at all in my husband's eyes? I called you here because I want you to pick out fabrics so that you can make clothes for Yao'er and Yuan Chen to wear on their engagement day. of."

Hearing this, Cheng Pu didn't feel any embarrassment at all about misunderstanding, and said: "You should calm down, why, Yao'er is getting engaged, and we have to make new clothes for her to match? Besides, Nuo'er came back for the first time, How many times have you made her new clothes? If you do this, you won’t be afraid of completely chilling that child’s heart.”

Mrs. Cheng wanted to say something else, but Cheng Xueyao stopped her. She shook her head and whispered: "Mother, forget it."

Then he said to Cheng Pu: "Father, this was my idea. I thought this was a happy event for me and our family. I was wrong for not thinking more comprehensively."

Cheng Pu was still satisfied with her, not to mention that she was an adopted daughter now, not a blood relative, so she had to pay more attention to some face-related matters, so he softened his expression and said, "You mean well, but sometimes you have to put yourself in your shoes." Nuo'er, think about it. After all, you owe her. If it's a big deal, just let her give in."

"Don't listen to him. This Master Cheng has lost his good looks," the voice that Cheng Xueyao could hear said anxiously, "He is trying to fool you."

"What is pua?" Cheng Xueyao didn't understand, but she could tell that the person who was one with her was disgusted by it. In fact, she had no intention of listening to Cheng Puna's words.

The voice snorted coldly: "I just want to make you feel that you are worthless and owe Cheng Nuo a lot so that she can dedicate everything to the Cheng family."

Although it is true that the Cheng family has provided many generous conditions for Cheng Xueyao's growth over the years, this is not what Cheng Xueyao actively wanted.

Cheng Xueyao snorted in her heart after hearing this, but she was more respectful to Cheng Pu on her face, "Father, don't worry, my daughter knows that she will never compete with her sister for anything in the future."

Cheng Pu nodded, "Just remember it."

Such a natural attitude made Cheng Xueyao and the soul attached to her even more unhappy.

After talking a lot about it, Cheng Pu didn't choose any fabric and turned around to leave.

Mrs. Cheng wanted to keep her husband with her, so she said: "Husband, why don't you stay? Yao'er has newly learned a tofu stuffed dish, you can try it too. What's more, the day after tomorrow is a happy event for our Cheng family. You can make a new set of clothes." That’s fine.”

Cheng Pu raised his hand to stop her chattering and said, "Aunt Bai made me two new sets of clothes, but I haven't even put on my upper body yet."

So no need to make new clothes.

A word was like a poisonous sharp needle, which stung Mrs. Cheng so much that she couldn't even utter a word.

Xinnuo didn't know what was going on with Mrs. Cheng. When she returned to the pear courtyard, she took a shower and changed clothes, and sat down with her grandparents for dinner.

The old man Xinnuo found out that his granddaughter was working in the government office, and at the dinner table it was like she was back home in Xiangshui County, and he gave Xinnuo a lot of his experience.

After dinner, someone brought a lot of fabrics. It was said that Mrs. Cheng asked them to be picked out so that they could be made into clothes for Cheng Xueyao to wear on her engagement day.

Xinnuo was not polite after hearing this. She chose the most expensive Baidiechuan flower-style lake blue fabric, and did not forget to explain: "This color is best paired with a snow soft silk skirt. Make me another one." A soft silk skirt.
