The Bai family were all alarmed. Seeing Yu Xiuniang's master and apprentice's attitude, they didn't know whether to say hello or not.
The two of them were really dressed too delicately, and the fabric of their clothes was not that good, but the embroidery on them was vivid.
"Grandpa, grandma, this is Yu Xiu Niang, my former domestic servant. This time I'm here to embroider Banxia's wedding dress." Qi Zhen first introduced the visitor to the two elders.
Yu Xiu Niang bowed respectfully to the two elders of the Bai family, and Yu Yan followed suit, but seemed uncomfortable.
After that, Qi Zhen introduced Mr. and Mrs. Bai Tian, and Yu Xiu Niang saluted respectfully again. She seemed to be a polite and humble person.
"This is my daughter-in-law Banxia. The wedding has been postponed for a month, so there should be enough time." Qi Zhen introduced Banxia again.
Bai Banxia glared at him, "We haven't gotten married yet."
Qi Zhen laughed, "Almost."
Seeing the good relationship between the two, Yu Xiu Niang showed a look of relief. She looked Bai Banxia up and down and said, "Miss Bai is tall. I will measure the size later so that it can be made more appropriately."
"Okay." Bai Banxia will definitely cooperate. Why won't she cooperate when someone embroiders her wedding dress? Is it possible that she has to worry about it herself?
"Go measure it now. You can go to town to meet your uncle later." Qi Zhen said.
The old man felt it was inappropriate and said, "Let's stay for a meal."
The old lady glared at the old man, but luckily she didn't say anything.
Yu Xiu Niang said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, old man, but we have other things to do, so we will leave first."
"Okay, okay." The old man was so stared at by the old lady that he didn't dare to do anything to persuade her to stay.
Then Bai Banxia took Yu Xiu Niang back to the house and asked Yu Xiu Niang to measure the size.
"Sister Bai, is this your boudoir?" Yu Yan asked curiously.
"I guess." Bai Banxia thought that she didn't live alone, so she just let it go.
Yu Yan frowned, "Young Master also lives in such a simple way?"
"Yu Yan, you talk too much." Yu Xiuniang's face turned cold, "Go and wait at the door."
Yu Yan felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to talk back to her master, so she walked to the door aggrievedly.
Yu Xiu Niang measured Bai Banxia every step of the way and recorded the measurements one by one.
"Miss Bai has slender hands and feet and looks good in anything she wears." Yu Xiu Niang praised.
Bai Banxia observed her expression, not flattering her, but sincerely complimenting her.
"She looks good without dressing up. She looks even better when dressed up." Qi Zhen came over and said, and smiled at Bai Banxia in the room.
Bai Banxia gave him an angry look. He just praised her when no one was around. She would be embarrassed if he always praised her in front of others.
Yu Xiu Niang laughed and said, "Young master, you are speaking from your heart."
Yu Yan looked at Bai Banxia and had to admit in her heart that Bai Banxia didn't look like a country girl. Not to mention her fair and tender skin, her temperament was more like that of a noblewoman from the capital. It was no wonder that she caught the eye of His Highness the Second Highness.
"Young Master, we have taken the measurements. Let's take our leave now and come back in two days." Yu Xiu Niang saluted Qi Zhen solemnly.
"Okay, you guys are tired from the journey. It's not too late to rest for a day and start again the day after tomorrow." Qi Zhen said.
Yu Xiu Niang was quite moved, her eyes were slightly red, "Okay, okay."
Yu Yan also saluted Qi Zhen and Bai Banxia, and left with Yu Xiu Niang.
The two masters and apprentices got on the carriage, and Yu Xiu Niang said with emotion: "Young Master is different. He used to be cold-tempered, but now he has learned to care about others. It must be Miss Bai's credit."
"Miss Bai is really capable." Yu Yan said enviously.
"What happened to you just now? I indulged you too much, and you disliked the young master's conditions?" Yu Xiuniang's face turned cold.
Yu Yan lowered her head, "I'm a little worried and wondering if I should buy something for the young master."
"You don't need to worry about it. If the young master agrees, Chengfeng has already prepared it. Don't be smart and do stupid things, otherwise..." Yu Xiuniang said with a dark face, "I am the young master's servant, and I will be loyal to the young master in this life, but you
If you offend the young master, I won't be able to keep you."
"Yes, Master." Yu Yan shuddered. This was the first time since she became a disciple that her master had been so strict with her.
On the Bai family side, Zhang Lingzhi was particularly happy and said to Qi Zhen: "You have arranged this very well. I saw that the embroidery work on their clothes is very good. I will definitely be able to embroider the clothes for Banxia. You don't need me."
Don’t worry about it, as for Pinellia ternata, I can’t even hope for it.”
"What mother said is that I should have arranged this matter." Qi Zhen agreed.
This call of "Mother" was a little early, but I couldn't help but Qi Zhen was so thick-skinned. Zhang Lingzhi was pleased to hear it, and the more he looked at the son-in-law, the more he liked her.
Bai Banxia couldn't help but hit Qi Zhen, "Pay attention to the impact, why are you yelling?"
"My dear daughter, why are you so domineering? Xiao Qi has arranged everything for you, and yet you are still mean to him?"
Zhang Lingzhi was not happy and directly educated her daughter, "Don't rely on Xiao Qi to feel sorry for you and not give others a good look. Do you think I treat your father like this? What is this called..."
She thought for a while and said: "You are proud of being favored!"
Bai Banxia's mouth twitched, Mom, you still know this idiom, but who is your biological daughter?
"Mom, Banxia is joking with me, I'm not trying too hard." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
Zhang Lingzhi laughed and said, "That's good."
Bai Banxia was speechless now. All the good guys were betrayed by Qi Zhen. If she continued to quarrel with him, her mother would have to be reasonable again.
After a while, the Bai family served food. Bai Banxia went to call the second elder to come out, and he heard the old lady talking about the old man in the house.
"Why did you keep this person? Didn't you hear that he is a servant of your grandson-in-law's family? What does it mean if you ask the servant to eat at the same table as his master?"
"We farmers don't have such rules. Anyone who comes is a guest." The old man explained.
The old lady snorted coldly, "It's Xiao Qi who makes the decision to retain someone, why do you care so much?"
The old man lowered his voice a little, "I see that the embroiderer's apprentice is about the same age as Saburo..."
The old lady obviously didn't expect it. After a moment of silence, she said, "What are you thinking about? Her clothes are very good. Can she like Saburo?"
Bai Banxia didn't expect the old man to have such an idea. Does he particularly like to be a Yue Lao as he gets older?
"Grandpa, grandma, dinner is ready!" she called at the door.
The two people in the room stopped talking about the matter and went out to eat.
After the meal, everyone was busy. After a while, Zhang An came to the door.
Bai Banxia hurriedly served Zhang An a bowl of hot soup, brought it over and said, "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Drink some hot soup to warm your stomach."
Zhang An was not polite either. The Bai family's food was delicious and he would not refuse it.
After he drank the soup, he slowly started talking.
"The Ye family said that it was just a simple matter back then. They could not tell the name because they didn't need the other party to repay their kindness, so Chen Liang didn't need to worry about that matter and just let it go."
Zhang An sighed, "I just said that Chen Liang is a stubborn boy. He has remembered it for more than ten years and it is difficult to get over it. Later, Elder Ye said that since he insisted on repaying his kindness, he should marry into the Ye family."
