The happy little days of the Ye family

After confirming the betrothal gift, Tang Xiaojing couldn't wait and immediately took Tang Shan to the county to purchase the betrothal gift.

The father and son first came to Chenjia Buzhuang.

Ye's mother said that the Ye family made the wedding robe that Tang Xiaojing wore when he got married. Tang Xiaojing only needed to buy the six pieces of fabric included in the betrothal gift.

Tang Xiaojing spent a long time in the cloth shop and finally selected 6 pieces of cloth of different colors for Ye Qingqing.

One each of sky blue, goose yellow, light green, crescent moon color, pink and rose red.

And all they want is the best fine cotton in the cloth shop.

Tang Xiaojing often comes to Chenjia Cloth Store to buy fabrics for Ye Qingqing, and shopkeeper Chen also knows Tang Xiaojing.

Knowing that these fabrics were used for employment by the Ye family, shopkeeper Chen thoughtfully suggested:

"This rose color is suitable for older women, and rose and pink are the colors worn by concubines. How about changing it?"

Tang Xiaojing really didn't know about these particularities, so he immediately decided to change it.

Tang Xiaojing thought Ye Qingqing looked good in goose yellow and light green clothes, so he took an extra piece of goose yellow and light green fabrics.

Shopkeeper Chen saw that Tang Xiaojing bought a lot and wanted the best fine cotton fabrics, so he gave Tang Xiaojing a few silk flowers.

Although the craftsmanship of these silk flowers is average, they are more beautiful in bright colors.

Tang Xiaojing took the silk flower and thought of Ye Qingqing, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

The father and son came out of Chenjia Buzhuang, and Tang Xiaojing took Tangshan straight to the best silver building in the county.

Tang Xiaojing often comes here to buy silk flowers and earrings for Ye Qingqing, and is very familiar with this place.

Tang Xiaojing took Tangshan with him by familiar means and found Master Lin, a familiar master in the silver building.

Tang Xiaojing first gave his mother's old jewelry to Master Lin, and asked him to melt it and make a new set of silver noodles.

Master Lin Li took the jewelry and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was melted enough to make a new set of silver noodles, he nodded towards Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan.

Master Lin then asked: "What shape should I use for this silver-headed noodle?"

Tang Xiaojing thought that he only met Ye Qingqing when he came back to Peach Blossom Village, so why not just make it look like a peach blossom?

Every year when the peach blossoms in the village are in full bloom, Ye Qingqing likes to go for a walk under the peach blossom trees. Tang Xiaojing thinks that Ye Qingqing likes peach blossoms.

"Master Lin, can you make it look like a peach blossom?"

"Okay, can the whole set be made of peach blossoms?"

"Yes, they are all shaped like peach blossoms."

Master Lin thought that he still had a few pieces of jewelry to make, and after estimating the time, he said to Tang Xiaojing:

"Come and pick up the jewelry in 20 days."

"Okay, no problem. Master Lin, do you still have a set of Jintou Noodles here? I need them for my job."

"Yes, come with me."

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan followed Master Lin to a counter specializing in selling gold jewelry.

Master Lin took out two sets of gold noodles from the counter.

Both sets of hairpins have the same things, a gold hairpin, a gold bracelet, a pair of gold earrings and a pair of gold earrings.

There are two sets of golden hairpins, one is in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix, and the hairpin is in the shape of a phoenix, which looks very majestic and gorgeous.

The gold bracelet is engraved with a lotus flower, which is very suitable for weddings.

Tang Xiaojing saw that the gold bracelet was thicker than his thumb, and the phoenix shape on the silver hairpin was also made of plenty of gold.

Although Tang Xiaojing liked it, he also knew that he couldn't afford it.

Although Master Lin didn't say the price, Tangshan was well-informed and knew at a glance that this set of gold-headed noodles cost at least 170 taels.

This face is good-looking, but it is not something they can afford.

Another set of gold hairpins and earrings are in the shape of a magpie, and gold bracelets and earrings are in the shape of auspicious clouds.

Although this set of golden heads and faces is not as gorgeous as the first set, it is still very delicate and beautiful.

Although the materials used are not as abundant as before, the blond hairpin and gold bracelet are also heavy.

Both Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing took a fancy to the set of golden heads and faces at the back.

The second set of Jintou Noodles cost 92 taels of silver. Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing bargained for half the price with the owner of the silver house, but the owner refused to lower the price.

Finally, he gave Tang Xiaojing a pair of gold earrings as a head start.

When Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan were paying at the counter, they happened to see Ye's father and Ye's mother coming in.

As soon as Ye Mu came in, she noticed the golden hair and face in front of Tang Xiaojing.

Mainly because of the glittering gold, it’s hard not to notice.

Mother Ye paid special attention to it. The hairpin and earrings were in the shape of a magpie, which looked festive. The bracelet and earrings are in the shape of auspicious clouds, which are relatively simple and elegant.

The gold used in the gold head noodles is still solid, and Ye Mu is very satisfied.

Tang Xiaojing saw his future mother-in-law looking at the golden-headed noodles with a smile. It seemed that he had made the right choice for this set of golden-headed noodles.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing also knew that Ye's father and Ye's mother prepared a dowry for Ye Qingqing.

The father and son did not join in. After paying the money, they hurried back with gold-headed noodles.

Father Ye and Mother Ye were very satisfied with the set of gold-headed noodles bought by the Tang family. After greeting the father and son, they went directly to find Master Liu.

Master Liu is the master who helped the Ye family make gold bracelets before. Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye both think Master Liu's craftsmanship is good.

The gold bracelets, gold earrings and silver hairpins with small jewelry that have been made at home are also made by Master Liu.

Mrs. Ye’s old jewelry, Ye’s mother also planned to melt it down and have it remade for Master Liu.

After coming out of the silver building, Ye's mother took Ye's father to Chenjia Cloth Village.

From shopkeeper Chen, the two of them learned what fabrics the Tang family and his son had bought.

Father Ye saw that Tang Xiaojing had bought the best fine cotton fabric in the shop, and under the constant encouragement of shopkeeper Chen, he also wanted to buy good fine cotton fabric for Ye Qingqing as a dowry.

Ye's mother was choosing fabrics for Ye Qingqing. When she heard Ye's father say that she wanted to buy fine cotton fabrics, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"The dealers wear fine cotton fabrics, and they are scratched by weeds and wild trees on the roadside when they go out. It is not practical at all."

"This cotton is not durable. Although Qingqing can't go to the ground, she is still in the village after all. This fine cotton is not often worn."

"This coarse cotton fabric is very good. It's comfortable and strong."

Ye Mu is not worried about money, but mainly because this fine cotton fabric is basically unwearable in the village. It is not as practical as coarse cotton fabric and fine linen fabric.

Ye Mu picked 6 pieces of coarse cotton cloth, including gray, black, navy blue, light green, sky blue and goose yellow.

The first three horses can be used to make clothes for the Tang family and his son, while the back three horses are used to make clothes for Ye Qingqing.

After picking out the dowry cloth, Mother Ye picked two pieces of bright red coarse cotton cloth.

One is used to make wedding clothes for Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing, and the other is used to make wedding quilts.

Ye's father has been buying fabrics from Chenjia Fabric Store for a long time, so he is also an old customer.

Knowing that Ye Qingqing was getting married, shopkeeper Chen specially gave her a small piece of silk fabric with a particularly beautiful color.

Ye's mother thought that her daughter was getting married soon, and the fabric was just right to make two small coats for Ye Qingqing.

The little girl grew up in the blink of an eye, so she said she was marrying next door, but Mother Ye was still full of reluctance to let her go.
