Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 722 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (43)

"My son-in-law is a rough man. I don't know Xi'er's preferences. I can only give her such vulgar things as gold and silver. I am really ashamed."

Shi An brought the remaining boxes over and said, "The blue one is for my uncle, and it contains some calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, and playthings. The remaining pink and red ones are for Xi'er and Shengsheng, and they contain some jewelry and jade. They have worked hard for her over the past two years."

Yang looked at the pile of things. All of hers were light blue, her father's gift was purple, and her son's were all there, but red was the most.

She glanced at the man and felt that he didn't seem to look down on her daughter. Could it be that she was overthinking it?

They didn't spend much time together as a couple, and if the man didn't love his daughter, he wouldn't have spent a fortune to marry her again.

But this bead is so pretty!

"mother in law?"

"Ah... I'm here!"

"I want to see Xi'er and Shengsheng. Where are they?"

"Ahem!" Yang's eyes suddenly turned serious, and she said righteously, "It's not easy to be the son-in-law of my Yang family. You need to try out the pattern and color, and you must also look at the color."

Shi An was panicking. He didn't expect that so much money and property couldn't solve the problem. The guy who was investigating was unreliable. Didn't he say that his mother-in-law liked beads?

He bowed and said, "You can tell me what color or pattern it is. I will treat Xi'er with all my heart."

Yang stood up and said in a more relaxed tone, "Xi'er has taken Shengsheng to her grandfather's place. As for you, if you insist on being my son-in-law, then you should show your true colors, housekeeper."

"Hey! Uncle, you are so kind."

Shi An didn't understand what was going on, so he could only bow again and say, "My son-in-law will take his leave first."

As the housekeeper walked out of the courtyard, Shi An arrived at a dyeing workshop where colorful fabrics were hanging, and he was dazzled.

"Please give me some pointers, butler."

"Son-in-law, the host's surname is Yang, and they have been weaving and dyeing cloth for generations. Naturally, this son-in-law should be more diligent and help dye the cloth. What do you think?"

"Ah! Yes!"

"Even if the Dong family falls into decline and the branches are scattered, every man who wants to marry a girl from the Yang family must learn how to dye cloth in three colors."

"Which three?"

"One is pomegranate red, just as the saying goes, a beautiful lady is the ideal match for a gentleman, so you must understand the color of the pomegranate skirt; the second is sky blue, which is like the misty rain and the short wait after the rain. This good marriage is the sky blue color that is hard to come by after the misty rain."

“I didn’t expect it to be these.”

"The last one is called Changchun. The love between husband and wife lasts forever, and the four seasons are like spring. This is what the boss just said, absolutely no second color."

Shi An said: "Will it be difficult?"

"It's not difficult. We know that you must have something to do in the army. The dye owner doesn't want you to pick and develop the dye yourself. We will guide you in color matching. It took you three months to learn how to make the dye, and it took a month to dye the cloth."

"Thank you, butler."

"No need to be polite, but please don't mind me being talkative."

"You are very knowledgeable and experienced, and the younger generation needs to learn from you with an open mind."

"I suggest you dye it one more color."

"Why?"

"My old boss, that is, my mother who passed away early, told us this story when I was a child. She said that the Yang family had a son-in-law who was very poor.

He was a poor scholar who was in love with the girl from the Yang family, but his family did not agree, so the two eloped and finally started a wine-making business, which was booming.

In the end, both parents agreed to their marriage, but the Yang family still had some resentment, after all, the two did not have their parents' permission or the matchmaker's words to arrange the marriage.

But their children were old enough to help with cooking, so they asked the son-in-law to dye his hair a color that represented his children.

"So the son-in-law dyed his hair rice color?"

"That's right. This child is like the seedlings in the field. If they are not well taken care of, they will grow up to be disabled. If the seedlings grow well and bear fruit, it also means that there will be many children and blessings, and the family will be prosperous. It depends on how the son-in-law and the young lady cultivate these seedlings in the future."

Shi An suddenly realized that the current situation of him and his wife was similar to that of the characters in this story, so it seemed that the rice seedlings were also indispensable.

He bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, butler."

"Hahaha, this is all an old story. If you can take all aspects into consideration, I think the boss will make things easier for you later."

half year later!

"Xi'er, take a few more steps."

"It's so mysterious. If you don't tell me, I'll go back."

Shi An boldly took the woman's hand and walked to a big tree in the backyard of his hometown in Tengyun Village.

"Today is your birthday, I'm giving you a different gift."

"You dyed this cloth for three days and then stopped for two days. Did you succeed?"

"It's already happened, but you often go back to your mother-in-law's house. If I get it, won't I have no reason to look for you?"

"You are really smart!"

"Okay."

Gu Yuxi only saw fireflies flashing in front of the two of them. Shi An held a firefly in his hand. He chattered a lot and the firefly flew away.

[Sister Xi, this is the most useless supernatural thing, it turns out to be the language of animals.]

After a while, many fireflies flew over, very bright, and the woman couldn't help but reach out to catch them.

"Do you like it?"

"very beautiful."

Seeing the woman's shining eyes, Shi An felt itchy in his heart. It had been half a year and he was still alone in an empty room. He could kiss but not share the same bed with her. He felt uncomfortable.

"Xi'er, there are more beautiful ones."

After saying that, Shi An took out a red veil and covered the woman's head.

"you……"

"My mother-in-law asked me to dye it a color that is absolutely unique. What do you think of this color, Xier? Is it acceptable?"

"It doesn't seem to work." Through the thin red cloth, Gu Yuxi could still see the light of fireflies.

Shi An smiled, slowly lifted the veil, and said, "Then I'll work harder. Does this sky full of fireflies look good?"

"Is this the birthday present?"

"for you!"

Looking at the extra love lock in her hand, Gu Yuxi was puzzled. The man said, "Xiuhua secretly told me that when you first opened the shop, life was difficult and you didn't want your mother-in-law to know, so you pawned the love lock. Now, it has been returned to its original owner."

Gu Yuxi: Did I make a mistake?

“But this doesn’t belong to me.”

Shi An boldly held the woman's shoulders and said lovingly, "Yes, it didn't belong to me originally, but God took pity on me. Now it belongs to me."

"Xier, let's sleep together?" the man said, and with the light of fireflies, he could no longer bear it and slowly lowered his head.

"I..." Gu Yuxi turned his head away, feeling very embarrassed.

"I won't force you. Once you are willing to accept me, we can live in the same room." There was an imperceptible loneliness in the man's tone.

"Shi An, are you sure you can stay single for the rest of your life?"

"I can. If I break my oath one day, you can kill me, the unfaithful man, with your own hands."

Looking at the extra dagger in his hand, Gu Yuxi was stumped. Logically speaking, this extremely high satisfaction... couldn't be thought about at all!

"Then... let's give it a try."

"try what?"

Shi An felt his face soften, and as he looked at the shy woman with her head down, a light flashed in his eyes.

Gu Yuxi felt a tightening around his waist, and the next second he had difficulty breathing. He didn't know how long this ambiguous suffocation lasted.

"No...my parents..." Gu Yuxi refused when she was picked up by the man.

"My parents and the kids are not here, so it's okay for you to be louder. I love to hear you. Sleep with me in the same bed tonight."

"You bastard, put me down!"

Shi Anle laughed, carried the person in his arms, walked quickly into the room, and closed the door...
