Chapter 562 The villain’s vicious ex-wife 9

Wushuang and Mrs. Li went to the flower hall, where four shopkeepers from the cloth shop were already sitting, including shopkeeper Zhu.

On the table, there were two thick piles of cloth, which seemed to come in at least hundreds of colors.

Wushuang asked Feng Siniang to sit down, put a pile of cloths in front of Feng Siniang, and looked at each piece of cloth to see which cloth was more suitable for Feng Siniang's skin color.

Keep what can be used, and put aside what cannot be used. As for the origin of the cloth itself, it doesn't matter whether it was prepared by Mrs. Li or sent by the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, it is mainly based on suitability.

Wushuang spent almost two hours just choosing fabrics, and finally selected a total of sixty-two pieces of fabric suitable for making clothes for Feng Siniang.

After choosing the fabric, Wushuang didn't care about the follow-up and went back directly with the fabric to continue designing the clothes.

Since we are preparing a dowry, we naturally have to prepare all the clothes that we can possibly wear.

Wear casual clothes that are mainly comfortable at home, formal clothes that are mainly solemn for entertaining guests in formal occasions, and clothes that are mainly beautiful and good-looking when going out to attend banquets. In short, clothes for various occasions must be designed.

Designing jewelry and clothing styles is not a day's work. Until night, Wushuang designed a total of five sets of headdresses and two sets of clothing patterns.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Li quickly prepared the carriage and asked people to take Wu Shuang home.

Although the carriage prepared by Mrs. Li is the same size as the one prepared by Mrs. Zhao, it is more luxurious. There are various pastries and fruits in the carriage for easy access at any time.

When Wushuang returned home, he estimated the time for Wushuang to return home. He had been waiting at the door early and was greeted by Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan who were looking forward to it.

Pei Jingyuan looked at the carriage going away and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, why are you riding in a different carriage than before?"

Next to him, Pei Zijue squeezed Pei Jingyuan and said, "How stupid. After changing the car, my sister-in-law must have gone to another noble family to help. This is another family that sent my sister-in-law back."

Wushuang replied: "Zijue is right, the person who sent me back today is Mrs. Tongzhi."

As for the specifics, Wu Shuang didn't say anything. After entering the house, Wu Shuang told the whole family that he was going to help Feng Siniang choose a dowry today.

After saying that, Wushuang went back to her room and put the house drawing she had drawn and the two new gold bracelets she got today into Bai Mengli's hands.

"Dad, Mom, the winter in the North is difficult, and the summer is short. Our house will definitely not survive the winter, and people will freeze to death.

You and your father pawned the three gold bracelets at home, added the remaining silver, bought a larger piece of land, and quickly built a house.

Buy more blue bricks and use them for the foundation and the outer layer of the house. There is no need to plaster the walls to prevent mice, which saves trouble and peace of mind.

The house will be built according to this drawing. Of course, when building the house, don’t let the family’s advice and Zi Shu’s medicine go to waste.

Mom, don't worry about not having enough money. Mrs. Li is very generous. When she was happy today, she rewarded me with two gold bracelets, which are worth more than forty taels of silver.

When I help the fourth lady get the dowry, she will certainly give her a generous reward, so that the family will not be short of money."

Bai Mengli and Pei Zan had both thought about building a house at home, but the money was earned by Wushuang, their daughter-in-law. If Wushuang didn't ask, they would never mention it, for fear that Wushuang had other plans.

Now that Wu Shuang mentioned it, the matter of building a house was officially put on the agenda. Pei Zan said: "Don't worry, we will definitely take care of the matter of buying land and bricks to build a house. You don't have to worry about it."

Bai Mengli smiled happily and said, "You and your second brother will be responsible for the green bricks and finding the land, while Jingyuan and I will be responsible for the family affairs and taking care of Zishu."

Pei Zishu sat at the table and kept silent, glancing at Wushuang from time to time.

Hearing his mother's words about taking care of himself, Pei Zishu hurriedly said: "I'm much better now. I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can do it myself."

Only then did Wushuang notice that Pei Zishu had changed a lot during the time when she went out early and came back late. For example, he was sitting on a chair now, and his posture was upright, not at all like he was half-reclining and half-lying in the past.

And his complexion has improved a lot. He was originally a skeleton covered with skin and bones, but now he has gained a lot of flesh.

Although she is still a little too thin, her appearance has regained her former handsomeness.

And when eating, I don’t need help from others at all. I eat very neatly and my movements are no longer slow.

Wushuang felt a little ashamed. She should have paid more attention to Pei Zishu, but she ended up being busy and stopped talking about feeding him. She couldn't say a few words to him all day long.

Seeing Wushuang looking at him, Pei Zishu smiled lightly at her and said, "Wushuang is busy every day. You shouldn't worry about things at home. I can take care of myself, so you don't have to worry about me."

Seeing how considerate Pei Zishu was, Wushuang said to Bai Mengli, "Mother, have you ever asked the doctor at the medical clinic if there is any prescription for a tonic like Zishu, or some medicated food?"

Bai Mengli said: "I have asked before, and the doctor said that he is too weak, and the medicine that is too tonic will not be good for him, but he can take medicated food.

There’s no need to ask the doctor, I have quite a few medicated diet recipes here, and when I go to the prescription and get all the medicine, I can make the medicated diet.”

The Pei family used to be a big family, and they didn't have too many prescriptions for supplements. But in the past, the family had a hard time, and they didn't know the use of the prescriptions, and they couldn't afford the medicines.

The medicinal diet is made by oneself, and the materials used are also expensive. Let's just talk about pigeon soup. The price of a pigeon is not cheaper than a chicken, and it is only a small one. How can I afford it?

It was only now that Wushuang was making a lot of money that Bai Mengli dared to think about making medicinal meals for her son.

Wushuang said directly: "Since we are taking medicinal food, we should make more and eat it together. My parents and Zijue Jingyuan have suffered a lot in the past two years, so their bodies must be exhausted.

I am still young now, and my parents are not very old, so if I lose money, my body will not show up. Problems will appear when I get older, so it is better to take good care of my body now to avoid future troubles."

When she heard that the whole family had to eat together, Bai Mengli felt a little distressed. Pei Jingyuan and Pei Zijue said sensibly: "Sister-in-law, we don't need to take medicated food. Just let my parents, brother and sister-in-law eat it."

"Yes, my sister-in-law also said that since we are young, we can slowly recuperate our bodies if we have time. Our family now has meat to eat every day, and we will both be well soon."

Wushuang knocked on the foreheads of Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan one by one, and said in a funny tone: "What stupid things are you two saying?

We made the medicinal food and we ate it, and let you two little ones watch what happened. Besides, don’t think that it’s okay because you are young. If you really get the root of some disease, you will regret it in the future.”

In the end, Wushuang made a strong decision: "Listen to me when it comes to taking medicated food. The whole family must eat it together. Everyone must take good care of their health. Only when their health is good can they have a better future."

After dinner, Wushuang, who had been busy all day, was pushed back to the room by Bai Mengli to sleep and rest.

Early the next morning, Wu Shuang went to work with the magistrate and continued his work, while everyone at home began to work on building a house.

Pei Zan first accompanied Bai Mengli to Fucheng to buy medicinal materials and meat for the medicinal diet, and then asked about the price of green bricks. After returning, Pei Zan was busy choosing a land to build a house. After he had chosen, he still had to go find it.

The village chief bought it.

Pei Zan walked around the village for a day, and finally selected a place not far from the river. The land was a hill more than ten meters high, and it was flattened just enough to build a house.

It's not far from the river, the scenery is good, the terrain is high and it won't be humid, there are residents around, and they are neither close nor far from each other.

Saying something in the yard will not force the next door neighbor to listen, but shouting can be heard by the neighbors.

Pei Zan went to the village chief Yan Fusheng to discuss buying the land. Yan Fusheng's grandson was saved by Wu Shuang. Remembering his kindness, he not only agreed happily, but also took the initiative to help, and went to the Yamen with Pei Zan to implement the land contract.

With Yan Fusheng's help, Pei Zan bought the land in three days. After receiving the land title, he immediately started recruiting people to start building a house.

Originally, when it came to building a house, the village always made the adobe bricks themselves and saved them for a year and a half. When the adobe bricks were ready, they could ask the villagers for help and the house could be built in a few days.

But the drawings painted by Wushuang were very delicate, not comparable to the simple adobe houses in the village, and could not be completed in a short time, so Pei Zan still chose to spend money to hire people.

The adobe bricks used to build the house are the same as the blue bricks. They were bought from families who had spare adobe bricks in several surrounding villages.

Before the construction started, the adobe bricks and blue bricks were placed in the open space, two very spectacular piles.

When they learned that the Pei family was going to spend money to find someone to build a big house, everyone in the village started talking again. They were all jealous and envious of the Pei family for marrying a daughter-in-law with a cornucopia of money. It didn't take long for them to earn back the money to build the house.

Every morning he picked up the carriage delivered in the evening. People in the village were not blind and could see. They knew that Wushuang had made a lot of money. Many families regretted not cutting off their husbands in advance and marrying this powerful wife home.

When they started working and eating, the workers ate meaty food and couldn't help but sigh again that the Pei family was so lucky.

Bai Mengli took Pei Zijue and Pei Jingyuan to do the cooking. Even Pei Zishu helped with the firewood, so Bai Mengli was very tired at night.

When Wushuang came back from Tongzhifu, he saw Bai Mengli, Pei Zijue, and Pei Jingyuan slumped on the chairs tiredly.

The Pei family all pay attention to their posture. Even if they have been demoted to common people, they will not forget the etiquette in the big family. It is not that it is complicated, but it is a requirement for themselves to hold their heads high and be serious and humble.

The Pei family has always required this of themselves, and their actions and gestures are hard to fault.

The only reason why Bai Mengli could slump in the chair without caring about her image was that she was really overtired.

Seeing how tired Bai Mengli was, Wu Shuang hurried over to help massage and relax Bai Mengli's stiff shoulders and neck, and asked, "Mom, why are you so tired?"

Bai Mengli knocked on her shoulder and gritted her teeth and said, "This is not cooking for a group of people. I didn't expect it to be so tiring."

Wushuang immediately said: "Why do you have to cook for me yourself? Just pay someone to cook for you."

Bai Mengli said reluctantly: "I can cook a meal, so why spend money to hire someone."

Wushuang said: "The money you earn is to improve your family's life. You earn it to spend it, not to keep it to have babies. You must listen to me on this matter."

Wushuang not only said that, she also went to the village to find a clean and tidy woman to help Bai Mengli.

By the time Bai Mengli found out, people had been invited, and she couldn't turn them away. She could only use them because it hurt her.

With the help, Bai Mengli and Pei Jingyuan immediately felt relaxed.

After half a month of designing on Wushuang's side, Feng Siniang's hair, face and clothing patterns were all finalized.

There were a total of forty sets of masks and one hundred and twenty kinds of clothes. Wushuang showed them to Mrs. Li and asked her to decide how many they wanted.

In the end, Mrs. Li liked them all and was reluctant to give up on any of them. Finally, she decided to do them all.

Wushuang sighed again, he is a rich man with a lot of money.

Mrs. Li found several embroidery shops to collect dowry for her daughter, and also found two silver shops to make headdresses for her daughter.

Although it is a silver shop, it actually has all kinds of gold and jewelry, and they are all time-honored brands. There are many masters on hand to do the work. Dozens of masters work together, so the speed of work is accelerated.

In order to ensure the quality, Wushuang spent half a day traveling to the cloth shop to watch the embroidery ladies embroider, and half a day to the silver shop to ensure there would be no problems with the items.

Mrs. Li had money, so she spent a lot of money on it. With enough people, within three months, all the hair, face and clothes were ready.

The most precious thing among them is a set of filigree-inlaid headbands made by Wushuang himself. Because filigree inlaying was too time-consuming and Wushuang had too many things to do, he only made one set of headbands despite working every day.

Mrs. Li paid Wushuang 1,500 taels of silver for the crafting fee for this set of filigree-inlaid head and face alone.

After all the dowry was made, the happy Mrs. Li waved her hand and prepared another five hundred taels of silver for Wushuang.
