The second shopkeeper quickly checked the account book and found the page with Gu Er's father written on it.
"Sir, please see, this is the name of that young master."
The old man frowned: "Father Gu Er? Why is this name so strange? I'm going back to the capital right away. Send an order and ask someone to secretly investigate this person in Jingyang County. As soon as there is news, report back immediately."
The donkey cart stopped at Qixiu Fang in the north of the city. Gu Changan ran in happily, and ran out again after a while: "It's a good thing I came early, and the things are still there."
Li Qiu was confused and was dragged into the embroidery workshop by Gu Changan.
"Hey, is this the girl?"
A middle-aged woman came forward and circled around the beginning of autumn: "You are so lucky, girl. This husband came in that day to ask about the wedding dress. He happened to catch up with the wedding dress that our embroidery workshop made for Master Xu's daughter in the city the year before last. Now, I have been attracted by this husband, who repeatedly told us not to sell it, but to wait for the girl to come try on the wedding dress."
Another embroiderer came up and took a look at Li Qiu: "This girl's waist is slightly slimmer than Miss Xu's. The waist needs to be changed. Miss Xu has long arms and tall body. The sleeves, shoulders, and skirt It all needs to be changed, Mr. Gu, when did you say you were going to get married last time?"
Gu Changan smiled and said: "I asked someone to calculate it. June 16th is an auspicious day, but this day was only considered yesterday. I haven't discussed it with her yet."
By a quick calculation, there are only seven days until June 16th.
"It was a little too hasty."
The two embroiderers shook their heads, somewhat disapproving: "Marriage is a major event in life and needs to be planned slowly. The day is so urgent, I'm afraid some things may not be prepared."
Beginning of Autumn still thinks this date is set too late.
She could never feel at ease in the Zhang family, and she was always worried. If she left the Zhang family as soon as possible, she would be able to sleep peacefully.
"There's no rush," she smiled at the two embroiderers, "Both of us have neither father nor mother. We will keep everything simple about this wedding. We just hope it will be lively and festive."
"Yes, it needs to be lively and festive," Gu Changan agreed with a smile, "Other brides have to wear a wedding dress and sit in a sedan chair, but my wife also has to wear a red wedding dress and sit in a big sedan chair to get married in a lively manner. Come to my house."
It made the two embroiderers laugh.
Li Qiu blushed at the laughter and gave Gu Changan an angry look. Gu Changan immediately put away his smile, but he couldn't hide the smile and pride in his eyes.
"Can I please help my two aunts to measure my wife's size and have her wedding dress altered as soon as possible."
"Brother Chang'an, is this wedding dress expensive? If it is, we won't want it."
A wedding dress can't be made in one day.
In some more particular families, the girl would prepare good materials and slowly start making the clothes before she even started talking about marriage.
Or like the Xu family, they ask an embroidery workshop to make wedding clothes.
Either way, it costs a lot.
Although they have some money on hand, they still have to keep it for other purposes. How can they spend it on things that are not suitable for eating or drinking?
"Don't worry about whether it's expensive or not. It's just this once in our lives. How can we do it without wearing a wedding dress? Listen to me, make money again after the money is gone. If you don't make it lively and festive when you get married, where can you make up for it later?"
"Ms. Gu is right."
The older embroiderer pulled Li Qiu aside and softly persuaded her.
"Silly girl, you're not married yet, why are you so worried about money? Since he wants to marry you, why did he do it so quietly? What kind of talk is that! If others don't know, they think you two are having an affair without a matchmaker. , money is something that you have to spend when you should, but you must not save where you shouldn’t.”
Liqiu still feels bad about money.
The excitement is for others to see. Whether your life is good or not can only be known by living it yourself.
"Auntie, tell the truth, how much is this wedding dress?"
"Let me tell you, our embroidery shop only costs you five taels of silver for this wedding dress."
Li Qiu raised his eyebrows.
Five taels of silver is a lot for them, but compared to this wedding dress, is only five taels a little cheaper?
"To be fair to the girl, everyone in the Xu family believes in Buddhism and has good intentions. After the wedding dress was made, Miss Xu was filled with joy. But who knew that her husband's family also made a wedding dress for her, using materials and embroidery? The workmanship was even more sophisticated, and to show respect for her husband’s family, Miss Xu got married wearing the wedding dress sent by her husband’s family, and this wedding dress stayed in our embroidery workshop.”
"The materials and patterns for the wedding dress were given by the Xu family, and the wages have already been paid. Miss Xu threatened that this wedding dress will be given to a destined person. The price will be determined by our embroidery workshop, but it is not allowed to be too high. If Let the Xu family know about it, and from now on, the clothes of the female family members will no longer come to our embroidery workshop."
As the embroiderer said this, she pulled Li Qiu into the backyard to try on the wedding dress.
The first time I saw this wedding dress embroidered with hundreds of descendants, I fell in love with it at the beginning of autumn.
The work done by her hands was very rough. She was afraid that the wedding dress would be damaged, so she refused to touch it and just stood aside and watched.
The two embroiderers looked at each other and smiled: "Girl, don't stand there stupidly, try it on, and we can change the wedding dress according to the girl's size."
Liqiu tried on the wedding dress in a daze, and when she took it off, she still felt like she was dreaming.
"Really only five taels of silver?"
"Don't worry, girl, our Qixiu Workshop has been operating in Jingyang County for many years. You go out and ask, when has our embroidery workshop ever deceived people? That day Mr. Gu came to our embroidery workshop and said he wanted us to do it within ten days. We were rushing to make a wedding dress. We couldn't make it in time, so we remembered this wedding dress. As soon as we took it out, Mr. Gu fell in love with it."
The younger embroiderer spoke very playfully: "Xiangong Gu smiled like a fool at that time and kept saying that his little wife must be very beautiful in her clothes. He also told us that his little wife is more beautiful than a fairy. .”
At the beginning of autumn, his face was as red as a sweet persimmon on an autumn branch, and Brother Changan knew that he was talking nonsense.
"Either you say that the girl is very lucky. In order to give Mr. Gu a try, we specially told him that this wedding dress cost thirty taels of silver. He agreed without saying a word. Girl, Mr. Gu really feels sorry for you. I want to He told you to be happy on your wedding day, don't let him down."
Beginning of Autumn's eyes were slightly hot.
She was a second-married child bride. She only married Gu Changan because she wanted to leave the Zhang family and avoid being sold to the Red Sleeve Recruitment.
She never thought about whether Gu Changan would be happy.
After all, you have to live your life, you have enough to eat and clothes to wear, and you don’t have to worry about it. Who doesn’t?
But Brother Chang'an looked carefree on the surface, but he thought of everything in his heart, and even thought about asking her to be happy on the day of her wedding.
In this life, it turns out that there are people who really want her to live a happy life.
In this case, she fulfilled his wish. It was okay to live with a sad face, and it was okay to live happily, so why not live happily?
"I bought this wedding dress. Please ask my aunt to change the size as soon as possible."
At the beginning of autumn, he gave a blessing ceremony to the two embroiderers.
"I wonder if my aunt has good red materials here. I want to get some and buy some needlework from my aunt's place."
