Chapter 19 Promise
When Chuntao caught up, Ye Xiaomei was persuading Zhou Ran to go to the medical clinic.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "It's just a little skin injury, there's no need to go to the hospital."

As soon as Zhou Ran finished speaking, she heard Chuntao shouting from behind: "Hey, you two, wait a minute."

Zhou Ran turned around, looked at the panting Chuntao in front of her, and said with some confusion: "I have already compensated your lady for embroidering the handkerchief." Why are you still looking for them? It can't be to settle accounts with the queen, right?

Chuntao walked up to the two of them and said, "Our lady has something to discuss with you. You guys come back with me."

Zhou Ran thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay." After all, she is the county magistrate's daughter, so it is better not to offend her if possible.

"Third sister-in-law?" Ye Xiaomei pulled Zhou Ran's sleeves worriedly.

Zhou Ran smiled reassuringly at Ye Xiaomei, and took Ye Xiaomei back to the makeup shop.

In the private room on the second floor of the cosmetics store, after seeing Zhou Ran, Miss Wu smiled apologetically at Zhou Ran and said politely, "Mrs. Thank you for your hard work, I'm here for a trip."

Zhou Ran smiled lightly and said, "You're welcome, Miss. I wonder what matters Miss has come to discuss with me?"

"Did the lady just give me the handkerchief she embroidered herself?" Miss Wu wanted to ask more clearly.

Zhou Ran nodded: "I embroidered it myself."

Miss Wu was overjoyed, "Madam's superb embroidery skills, and the lifelike lotus flowers she embroidered made Xiang Ling admire her very much. Xiang Ling shamelessly wanted to ask Madam to help Xiang Ling embroider a picture of Guanyin. I wonder if Madam could do this for Xiang Ling?" "

Zhou Ran hesitated, but before she could think about it, the system's mechanical sound sounded in her mind again.

[Short-term mission: Agree to Wu Xiangling’s request and help Wu Xiangling complete the embroidery of the Guanyin figure. HP +40 (limited to thirty days)]

Now it's okay, Zhou Ran doesn't have to think about it anymore, she nodded and said: "Thanks to Miss, I agree."

Wu Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you, Madam. Don't worry, Madam. Xiangling will not let Madam's hard work go in vain."

Zhou Ran waved her hand and said: "These are all easy to explain, but I don't know if the lady has any specific requirements for this picture of Guanyin? How big do you want it to be? Do you have any ideas about the face and posture of the Bodhisattva?"

Wu Xiangling shook his head and said: "I don't have any specific requirements. Everything should be done according to Madam's ideas. The only thing is that this picture of Guanyin is to be given to an elder as a birthday gift. I hope Madam can be more attentive. It's best. It can be embroidered before the end of next month."

Zhou Ran frowned and pretended to be confused: "Time is a bit tight."

Wu Xiangling said quickly: "Xiang Ling knows that this is a bit embarrassing for Madam, but Xiang Ling really has no choice but to trouble Madam."

As he said that, Wu Xiangling took out two banknotes from the purse he was carrying and handed them over, "Mrs., take these two hundred taels of silver first, as a token of Xiangling's gratitude."

Ah, this lady from the county magistrate's family is really rich. She just went out to go shopping and she actually had a few hundred taels of banknotes with her.

"In that case, I will accept it." Zhou Ran took the banknote generously and said, "After the embroidery is finished, should I bring it to the lady, or should the lady send someone to pick it up at my home?"

Wu Xiangling said: "Don't bother Madam to give it away. I'll pick it up when the time comes. I wonder where Madam's home is?" Zhou Ran told the address. After Wu Xiangling wrote it down, Zhou Ran stood up and left.

After such a long delay, Old Man Liu's ox cart had already left. Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei could either walk back to the village directly, or wait for Ye Erlang and the others to close their stall and then return to the village with Ye Erlang and the others.

The weather was so hot that Zhou Ran didn't want to leave, so she took Ye Xiaomei to get some embroidery cloth and thread, and the two of them went to where Ye Erlang and the others set up a stall.

When the two of them passed by, Ye Erlang and the others were busy, so they didn't come forward to disturb them and just waited aside.

After a while, Ye Erlang's place became a little empty. He looked up and saw Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei. He hurriedly asked: "Why are you two here? Can you eat?"

Ye Xiaomei nodded and said: "Second brother, let's eat. Third sister-in-law and I went to the embroidery workshop to deliver embroidery. We encountered something and were delayed. Uncle Liu's ox cart left. We want to wait for you to go back together." "

Ye Erlang said: "Then just wait a moment, we should be able to leave soon."

"Ah."

Ye Erlang wanted to say something else, but another customer came to the stall. Ye Erlang had no choice but to tell Ye Xiaomei: "Find a shady place to wait for us, don't stand in the sun." Then he went back to work.

Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei waited for less than half an hour before Ye Erlang and the others closed the stall.

In the Ye family, Ms. Zhang looked at Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei who came back with Ye Erlang and the others. She breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then couldn't help but said after seeing the big and small bags of the two of them: "Why did you buy so many things? It costs so much money." how much?"

Zhou Ran smiled and took out the things one by one, "Mom, these are clothes for you, this is for dad, this is facial fat and hand fat for you, and this is for the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law."

"We have some too?" Mrs. Li was secretly envious when she looked at the pile of things Zhou Ran bought, but she immediately became happy when she heard Zhou Ran say there were still things for her.

Taking the exquisite porcelain bottle handed over by Zhou Ran, Mr. Li looked it up and down and couldn't help but said: "Even the bottle is so beautiful, how much does it cost?"

Ye Xiaomei whispered: "The shorter one is for facial fat, which costs thirty taels of silver a bottle, and the taller one is for hand fat, which costs two taels of silver for a bottle."

After hearing what Ye Xiaomei said, Mrs. Li's hands softened and she almost dropped the things in her hands.

"This... this is too expensive, I can't have it." Chen said as if the two bottles in his hand were hot to the touch, and quickly put the things back on the table.

Mrs. Zhang did not control her voice and said sharply: "How much do you think these two bottles cost?" Even before Ye Ximing's accident, when her family was the richest, Mrs. Zhang had never used such expensive things.

"Two bottles cost fifty taels of silver. Third sister-in-law bought ten bottles in total, which cost twenty-five taels of silver." Ye Xiaomei's voice became softer as she spoke.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her breathing became even more rapid. After a while, she calmed down her breathing and said to Zhou Ran and Ye Xiaomei: "You are too messy. How can I use such expensive things? You two should go to the county and return this thing tomorrow. By the way, there are also those two pairs of clothes. Your father and I have clothes to wear, so there is no need to buy clothes for us. "

After saying that, fearing that Zhou Ran would misunderstand, she added: "You have few clothes and you are still growing taller. Next time you want to buy some, just buy them for yourself."

Zhou Ran shook her head, "Mom, why don't you deserve to use such expensive things? You deserve these things more than anyone else in this family. You and your father have worked hard for half your life, raising several children, worrying about this, worrying about that, I don’t have a day of leisure, and that’s all when I had no money before. Now that I have a lot of money, it’s my time to honor you and my father for my husband, so don’t refuse.”
