Chapter 81: Showing off wealth
The next day, when I was sitting at the table having breakfast, I looked at the black spots under Ye Ximing's eyes and the new acne at the corners of his mouth, and frowned, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Ye Ximing reached out and touched his face, lowered his eyes and said, "Well, maybe yesterday's stir-fried rabbit meat was a bit too spicy and made me angry."

Hearing this, Zhou Ran felt a little guilty and said: "You are still weak, so I shouldn't feed you such spicy food. I won't cook such spicy food in the future. It happens to be hot, so let's eat lighter during this time." "

Ye Ximing's expression changed. Although he looked like a gentleman, he looked like he had a light taste and liked elegant food, but in fact, he had a heavy taste, and he liked the sour, spicy and refreshing food the most.

"Actually..." Ye Ximing just wanted to try again and said that it doesn't have to be light, a little spicy is fine.

But Zhou Ran glanced at him and ignored his struggle. She interrupted him with a smile and said, "That's it. You can quickly finish your breakfast and go to Mr. Zou's place. I'll go to Mr. Zou's place later to see if he has any problems." There is no recipe for fire tea.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Ximing immediately refused: "No need!"

"Huh?" Zhou Ran looked at Ye Ximing doubtfully.

Ye Ximing compensated: "You have wasted a lot of time these days for my little sister. You also have to embroider for Mrs. Wu, so don't waste your time on such trivial matters. Getting angry is not a big deal. It’ll be fine in two days.”

Zhou Ran thought for a while and didn't insist anymore. She had indeed not made much progress in embroidery recently and had to catch up quickly.

However, instead of tea to reduce heat, you can just drink some rock sugar and white fungus soup that can reduce heat.

So, in the evening, Ye Ximing received a bowl of rock sugar and tremella soup. Ye Ximing, who never liked sweets and this kind of sticky food, frowned and drank a bowl of rock sugar and tremella soup under Zhou Ran's smiling gaze.

Five days later, Ms. Zhang made a special trip to Zhou Ran and her family's yard in the county town to tell them that the Wei family had proposed marriage, and they agreed, so the matter was settled.

After hearing this, Zhou Ran smiled and looked at Ye Xiaomei, who was blushing with embarrassment, and said, "In that case, it's time for Xiaomei to prepare her own wedding dress."

"Third sister-in-law!" Ye Xiaomei stamped her feet and shouted in disbelief.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her shy look and said with a smile: "Your third sister-in-law is right. I will take you to choose good materials in a moment. When you get back, you can start embroidering your wedding dress."

Zhou Ran heard this and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Mom, don't bother me. I have a piece of good red fabric in my hand. I can go back and make my little sister's wedding dress."

"Okay." Mrs. Zhang was not polite to Zhou Ran. She turned to the shy Ye Xiaomei and said, "I haven't thanked your third sister-in-law yet."

Ye Xiaomei endured her shame and whispered, "Thank you, third sister-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang didn't stay with Zhou Ran for long. Zhou Ran wanted to keep her in the county town for a few days, but Mrs. Zhang couldn't let go of her family. She had lunch at Zhou Ran's place and returned to Xiyao Village without even seeing Ye Ximing.

After Zhang left, Zhou Ran returned to the room, turned on the system, entered the system mall, spent a long time selecting fabrics, and chose a pure red brocade.

In fact, Zhou Ran thinks that the most suitable fabric for a wedding dress should be shiny satin. If you make a wedding dress from this kind of fabric and wear it on your body, it will sparkle when you move, sit or lie down, and it will also have different colors. It can be said to be very gorgeous. .

The price of this kind of shiny satin is very high. It is not sold in Nanxing County at all. Although it is sold in the system mall, the price will be cheaper. Zhou Ran can grit her teeth and buy one, but with their current status and family background, , taking out such a shiny satin is a bit too eye-catching.

However, the plain satin chosen by Zhou Ran was smooth and shiny, soft to the touch, and was also a very high-quality fabric. Ye Xiaomei was stunned as soon as she got the plain satin sent by Zhou Ran, "Sister-in-law, isn't this fabric too expensive? I, I can't have it."

Ye Xiaomei often works with fabrics now, and she can still feel the quality of fabrics.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Take it, this is the material I prepared for you to make a wedding dress. Why don't you want me to keep it?"

Ye Xiaomei still wanted to refuse, but Zhou Ran had already put the cloth into her hands without any explanation, "Okay, what are you doing to your third sister-in-law? Take it and think about what you want to embroider."

"Third sister-in-law..."

Before Ye Xiaomei could say anything, there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhou Ran turned around and opened the door, leaving Xiaomei Ye with a troubled face. The big girl on the side smiled and said to Xiaomei Ye: "Sister Ye, this is Master's wish. Just accept it first. If you really feel sorry for it, wait until later." Once you have the ability, why not repay Master slowly?"

Ye Xiaomei thought about it. Anyway, Zhou Ran's kindness to her was not just this. She kept it all in her heart and would repay her slowly in the future.

Zhou Ran opened the door and saw Aunt Guo outside, and then suddenly remembered what Aunt Guo had said to herself that day.

Zhou Ran invited Aunt Guo in with a smile.

After Aunt Guo chatted with Zhou Ran for a few words, she turned the topic to Mrs. Zhang, "I thought I saw your mother-in-law coming at that moment."

Zhou Ran nodded, smiled apologetically at Aunt Guo, and said, "I was just thinking about going to find Auntie later, but I didn't expect Auntie to come over first."

"After my aunt told me about it before, I kept it in my mind. I originally wanted to mention it to my mother-in-law when I went home with my husband in two days. Who would have thought that my mother-in-law would come over today and tell me that my younger sister's marriage has been decided. Down."

"Ah?" Aunt Guo looked disappointed, "Why is it so sudden? Whose house did you choose?"

Zhou Ran shook her head and said: "It is indeed a bit sudden, but most girls in other families get engaged at the age of 14 or 15. My little sister is already 16 this year. My parents-in-law are already anxious, and the person who went to propose marriage is my husband-in-law's former classmate. , they are considered to be well-informed, so my parents-in-law settled the matter directly."

"It's because our tiger son is not so lucky." Aunt Guo sighed after hearing this, and then asked: "Your husband-in-law's classmate must also be a scholar, does he have any fame?"

Zhou Ran nodded, "A scholar of the same age as my husband."

The last trace of unwillingness in Aunt Guo's heart was gone. Their tigers couldn't compare.

After Aunt Guo left, Zhou Ran went back to the house and continued to embroider the embroidery that Mrs. Wu wanted. According to Mrs. Wu's request, Zhou Ran embroidered a picture of "Wealth on the Screen" this time.

This picture is taken from the famous Hunan embroidery "Hundred Birds Embroidery" in later generations. "Hundred Birds Embroidery" is a set of six straight-panel hanging screens. The inscriptions of the six embroidery screens are "Nine buds present auspiciousness" and "Open screen". "Wealth and Honor", "Birthday Wishes from the Immortals", "Prolonged Life", "Yan Yue in the Yutang", and "Pengcheng on the Cloud Road".
