Fortunate Wife

After breakfast, Li Man took the children to play in the house. Li Hua was leaning against the window, looking at something for a long time, with great interest.

Li Man was very curious, so she asked, "Li Hua, what are you looking at? Fried."

"Huh?" Li Hua turned his head, glanced at her, smiled slightly, pointed to a shop not far away, and said, "You will know when you come and have a look."

"Oh?" Li Man became more and more curious, so she picked up the child and walked towards him.

Li Hua hurriedly picked up the boss, and then pointed to a shop named Jinxiu on the right opposite the inn.

"Is this a ready-made clothing store?" Li Man looked at it, and there seemed to be a few customers buying clothes there.

"Yeah." Li Hua nodded, and said again, "Second brother told me that this store not only sells clothes, but also women's jewelry and men's accessories. There are also works designed by second brother."

"Li Yan?" Li Man was surprised, "What did he plan? Why is he here?"

Li Hua pointed and said, "Did you see the step shaker in that woman's hand? It's called Caidie, and it was designed by my second brother. There are four colorful butterflies dancing on it."

The woman probably thought that the light inside was not good, so she went to the door, raised the swing, and looked at the ring carefully in front of the sun.

Li Man took a closer look at this moment, didn't she think that was the appearance of a butterfly dancing lightly?

"But why did your second brother design this? Here again?" Li Man was very curious, or did he not only look for Li Shu when he went out, but also did other things?

Li Hua looked at her, also a little surprised, "Didn't the second brother mention it to you? Last time he went out to look for the third brother, he passed by here, and saw that the business of this clothing store was very good, so he went in to have a look, and it turned out to be the same as The shopkeepers of this shop are getting acquainted, and the second brother saw that their clothes are still good, they are just jewelry, and the variety is a little more, so I made a few samples, but I didn’t expect it to sell well. You see, the woman has already I bought that colorful butterfly walk."

Li Man turned her face to look, sure enough, the woman had pinned Bu Yao in her hair and started to pay the money.

"This is the third pair sold within an hour." Li Hua said with a smile.

Li Man was a little surprised, "It's selling so well?"

Li Hua nodded, "It's not surprising. This place is much richer than ours. Women from ordinary families can buy one or two pieces of gold jewelry. As for silver jewelry, it is even more common. Therefore, the second brother designs mostly silver jewelry. The price is not expensive, but it is exquisite and beautiful, so it is naturally more popular.”

Li Man nodded repeatedly, but suddenly thought of something, and felt a little annoyed.

"This is what your second brother told you?"

"Uh." Looking at her slightly pursed mouth, Li Hua knew that she was overwhelmed, and quickly explained, "Second brother didn't tell you, maybe he has other ideas, or maybe, he wants to take you there someday. Look."

Li Man didn't think so. After Li Yan came back, he never mentioned to her the experience of being away these days. Except for Yun Yan's visit and the injury she found, he had to talk about the experience of saving lives. He didn't say anything else, and, judging by his appearance, he didn't seem to plan to tell her.

Now, Li Hua had to tell her about this kind of thing, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing her getting more and more annoyed, Li Hua persuaded softly, "Man'er, don't be annoyed, Second Brother has his own ideas no matter what he does, but no matter what he does, don't doubt it. He has you in his heart and loves you."

"Me." Li Man's face burned, and she snorted, "I didn't say I doubted whether he loves her or not, but he can tell me about it."

"Heh." Seeing her blushing, Li Hua smiled, "That's fine, when Second Brother comes back, you can torture him yourself."

"Well, that's for sure." Li Man said, otherwise, are they only allowed to have a brotherly relationship, and not a husband and wife relationship? Li Yan should have shared this with her immediately.

"Let's go down and have a look, how about?" Li Man suddenly became interested.

Li Hua looked at the two children and hesitated.

Li Man persuaded, "Go, just go downstairs, it's so close, take a look and go back."

"Well, okay." Li Hua couldn't just stay in the room like this all the time, so Li Hua thought for a while and agreed.

Li Man walked to the door and ordered again, "Bring your money."

"Oh." She didn't need to say this, he would carry the money with him.

The two went out, and went straight to Jinxiu.

Only a few customers left, and there was no one in the store at this moment. As soon as the young couple entered, the shopkeeper immediately greeted them personally.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy clothes or jewelry?"

"Jewelry." Li Man said directly, "It's the one that the elder sister bought just now."

"Oh?" the shopkeeper said apologetically, "I'm sorry, that was the last one just now, and it has been sold out. However, there are other beautiful jewelry in the store. May I show it to my wife?"

"Is there not one left? Will it be released later?" Li Man asked a little disappointed. She still wanted to buy another one. After all, it was Li Yan's work.

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Since it came out, this style has been selling very well, and it will be released again, but, in terms of time, I'm afraid it won't be available for a while."

"How long will it take?" Li Man asked.

"Half a month, it will take ten days at the earliest." The shopkeeper saw that she seemed to be very fond of the silver step shaker, and couldn't bear to dampen her interest, so he quickly took out two other ones from the counter, which were similar in style and unique in shape.

a golden dragon

Flying steps, a butterfly loves flowers.

They're all very nice, but...

Li Man was hesitating, when the shopkeeper introduced, "These two models are made by the same person as the butterfly dance that the older sister bought before, and they are very particular about the shape and workmanship, ma'am, take a closer look." , these two are not bad."

Li Man didn't look at Bu Yao, but stared at the shopkeeper closely, "You said that the three Bu Yao are made by the same person. So, who is that person?"

"Oh, this?" The shopkeeper chuckled, "I'm not in a position to reveal it."

Li Man turned her head to look at Li Hua. Li Hua kept smiling, and when she saw her looking at her with inquiring eyes, she said, "This Die Lian Hua walk is very suitable for you."

As he spoke, he took the step shaker from the shopkeeper's hand, and inserted his hands obliquely into Li Man's hair, and smiled with curved lips, "It looks good."

Li Man also smiled, and asked the shopkeeper, "How much?"

"Twenty taels." The shopkeeper said.

"Ah?" Li Man was startled by this number, not to mention twenty taels, even two taels is very expensive to her.

Besides, it only cost her ten taels to be bought by Li Mo, but now, such a gait cost twenty taels? Enough to buy two of her.

Resolutely, Li Man took the Bu Yao from her hair and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand, "You put it away."

After finishing speaking, he took Li Hua and left.

"Man'er, why don't you just buy it? The shopkeeper, can it be cheaper?" Li Hua actually understands his daughter-in-law's thoughts very well. As for Bu Yao itself, she may not be very interested. What she wants to buy is just the back of Bu Yao. The things she bought were designed by the second brother himself, and she just wanted to keep one as a treasure.

Li Man shook her head, "No matter how cheap it is, you can't sell it to us for two taels of silver, right?"

What's more, even two taels of silver, she would not bear it.

Forget it, let Li Yan make it for her in the future, it's better than selling it outside.

She held the child in one hand, dragged Li Hua with the other, and left eagerly.

The shopkeeper held the Bu Yao in his hand, looked at their leaving back, sighed, the business was gone, he was unhappy, but this Dielianhua Bu Yao was really suitable for the little lady just now, what a pity.

However, just after he put the jewelry away, Xiao Er came over to report that Master Li had modified the latest jewelry design and was waiting for him to have a look.

The shopkeeper was very happy, and ordered Xiaoer to look after the front, and went to the backyard by himself.

In a spacious and mirrored small hall, Li Mo sat upright with a gloomy expression, while Li Yan, after finishing the proofs, drank tea leisurely.

Li Mo looked at him leisurely, and was a little annoyed, "We'll go back later, how should we explain to Man'er?"

"Just tell her what I said." Li Yan put down his teacup and said.

Li Mo stared at him closely, "Do you still want to lie to her? One day is fine, ten or twenty days? How long can you keep this from her?"

"Hiding the truth for a day is a day, and letting her know now is not worrying." Li Yan also said helplessly, "Not everyone can enter the military camp, especially if they ask people. Even if they know, they will not easily tell. Brother, You listen to me, as long as the third brother really joins the army, I will have a way to find out his whereabouts."

"But, Man'er will be very disappointed." Li Mo didn't even dare to think about how disappointed she would be if she told her that Li Shu was not found after returning home.

Li Yan's eyes darkened, "There is no way to do this, the world is big, so it's not easy to find someone to talk about?"

"Master Li." At this time, the shopkeeper came in and warmly cupped his hands at Li Yan and Li Mo.

Li Yan got up and handed him a few jewelry samples, "You have a look at it first, if you are not satisfied, I will help to modify it."

The shopkeeper picked up the sample draft, sat aside and examined it carefully, with admiration in his eyes.

"Okay, it's really good, it's lively and interesting, and it's better than what the old man has done before."

In the past, both the color and the style were too rigid and monotonous, but in Li Yan's hands, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and all the lively and interesting little things can be included in the work, even the lifelike little grasshopper, the tiny The legs are slightly arched, as if about to jump, which is really vivid.
