Chapter 49
Perhaps because of Cui Shun'er's earnest persuasion several times, and He Hua's kind and simple nature, after Pei Wei learned embroidery for a period of time, her personality became more sunny and friendly.

Seeing the slight changes in her daughter, Cui Shun'er was full of joy and comfort, looking forward to a better life in the future.

The next day, Cui Shun'er led Pei Wei to the market to choose fabrics. You must know that the price of ready-made garments is several times that of fabrics. Just asking He Hua to make everyone's clothes has already saved a lot of money.

Therefore, Cui Shun'er does not intend to save money on fabrics, but must choose some high-quality materials.

Approaching the end of the year, the temperature dropped sharply for several days in a row.

Although the sun is still rising today, the thick layer of ice on the water has not yet melted, and the willow branches on the riverside are bare.

Along the way, Pei Wei's big black eyes were looking at the surrounding scene. In fact, it was because she and Cui Shun'er had a rift for many years, and she was alone with her mother suddenly. She couldn't think of a topic to talk about, so she looked away in embarrassment.

Cui Shun'er didn't care, she was already satisfied just being able to go to the market with her youngest daughter in peace.

It gets dark early in winter, and there are still a lot of things waiting to be done, and the smokehouse still needs someone to look after it.

The two quickened their pace and arrived at the shop opened by Fang Shu first.

They were already old acquaintances, and when Xiaoer saw Cui Shuner approaching, he turned around and called the shopkeeper over.

Fang Shu lifted the curtain, walked over from the back hall, looked at Cui Shun'er, then at Pei Wei, and asked doubtfully, "Who is this?"

Cui Shun'er smiled back: "My youngest daughter."

When she was chatting with Fang Shu before, she talked about her own situation, so Fang Shu didn't ask any more questions, but just praised with a smile: "Cui Shun'er, you are really lucky. Not only do you have a daughter-in-law with first-class embroidery skills, but you also gave birth to such a smart daughter-in-law." My beautiful daughter really makes me envious!"

Fang Shu spoke the truth.

Although Pei Wei is Cui Shun'er's daughter, she has completely inherited her father Pei Xian's good looks, her face is like a peach blossom, her eyebrows are white, her teeth are bright, her waist is slim and slim.

Cui Shun'er also replied happily: "That is a must! My Cui Shun'er's daughter must be beautiful! It may be that I lived too hard in my previous life, so God has mercy, and let me have a full family of children and grandchildren in this life, and a happy family!"

Although it was not the first time she was appreciated, even her mother praised herself, which made Pei Wei blush immediately and shyly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

She thought of the men who had pursued her before, they were all crooked, and they were all slick and sweet.

Since her own condition is not bad and she is as beautiful as a flower, then she must keep her eyes open in the future and find a husband who is a dragon and a phoenix.

Cui Shun'er and Fang Shu chatted while looking at the fabric.

Pei Wei held her cheeks in her hands, her face was flushed, and she was full of reveries.

After picking back and forth, Cui Shun'er took a fancy to several fabrics, and pulled Pei Wei over to ask her opinion.

"Wei'er, are you satisfied with any of these?"

Pei Wei looked around, and turned her gaze to a roll of fabric hanging on the wall. The smooth silk surface had already been embroidered with intricate and exquisite peony patterns.

Pei Wei's eyes lit up, and she said firmly, "Mom, I like that one, can I use that roll of fabric for that dress?"

Cui Shun'er looked over and liked the delicate patterns on the silk cloth, so she asked how much it was.

When Fang Shu mentioned the price, it must be more expensive than what Cui Shuner chose.

Cui Shun'er thought about it, and thought that the price was second, and the main reason was that the clothes she made could be liked by her family and herself.

So Cui Shun'er followed her daughter's preferences and bought several rolls of fabric.

Fang Shu curled her lips into a smile, and said, "You mother and daughter have very good eyesight, and the materials you choose are all excellent. If it weren't for the old models from last year, I wouldn't have given you the best price!"

After that, the two went home.

Pei Wei hugged the fabric she fell in love with at first sight, her mood was extraordinarily beautiful, with a bright smile on her face.

Cui Shun'er was also happy, and warned: "When we get home, we will hand over the fabric to He Hua. Don't make excessive demands on you. Your second sister-in-law's body has not fully recovered, so don't overwork."

Pei Wei nodded obediently, "Understood, mother, I will help."

Cui Shun'er secretly said in her heart that her daughter has grown up.

The market is full of traffic and crowds.

In order to take a shortcut, Cui Shun'er and Pei Wei chose a road with little traffic, and the clinker actually passed the Imperial College Mansion.

Pei Xian is an official sent by the capital, and this Guozijian Mansion has always been used to receive personnel sent by the imperial court.

Pei Xian didn't like extravagance, so he just summoned a few servants who were responsible for cleaning and cooking to stay in the mansion, and he kept everything simple when he traveled on weekdays.

The so-called Yuanjia Road is narrow, which roughly describes the current situation.

Cui Shun'er and Pei Wei passed by the Imperial Academy's mansion, and at the same time Pei Xian walked out of the gate, so they met each other by mistake.

Cui Shun'er was stunned, Pei Xian was full of surprise.

It was Pei Wei who broke the deadlock first, and for some reason, Pei Wei had an inexplicable feeling of intimacy with him.

In fact, when Cui Shun'er's husband went to Beijing to rush for the exam and disappeared halfway, Pei Wei was only four years old, so she had a vague impression of her father.

Pei Wei asked pleasantly: "Why are you still here, sir? Shouldn't you return to Beijing early?"

Indeed, Pei Xian was supposed to return to Beijing after the provincial examination in autumn, but because of some changes, especially meeting Cui Shun'er's family, he delayed his trip, and this delay has continued until now.

Pei Xian asked someone to follow the instructions, and the court simply asked him to return to Beijing after presiding over the next year's spring boudoir, so he and Cui Shun'er met more often because of this accident.

Seeing Pei Xian, Cui Shun'er's brows and eyes were indifferent, and her complexion was not good.

She turned her eyes away, pretended not to notice, pretended not to know her and was about to leave, but Pei Wei walked up to talk to her, which made her stop.

Pei Xian smiled softly, and replied to Pei Wei: "There is an order from the Holy Spirit, I will only be able to go back next spring."

He didn't elaborate on the matter of presiding over Chungui, Pei Wei nodded and didn't ask further.

Cui Shun'er was upset and really wanted to leave, but when she saw the handsome and elegant smiling face of the man, she couldn't leave again.

Cui Shun'er tried her best to keep calm, and said flatly: "Thank you, sir, for introducing the carpenter to my boss."

Seemingly thanking her, it sounded like her tone was far-fetched and reluctant, but fortunately, she didn't avoid it, and it was a rare good temper.

Pei Xian stared at the woman, his heart fluctuated slightly, he bent his lips and smiled, and said: "It's a little effort, no need to thank you."

Just then, the reason why Cui Shun'er couldn't leave was precisely because she saw Pei Xian's handsome face, and then thought of the praise of the shopkeeper Fang Shu to Pei Wei, so she thanked Pei Wei out of the trace of father-daughter affection.

Now, Cui Shun'er doesn't plan to stay for a long time, and she will leave with Pei Wei.
