A car accident, our family of three crossed

Shuisheng left in a hurry and came back even faster. In less than half a minute, he handed the bag containing the tattered cotton-padded jacket to Xianghuan.

After turning the incense ring over and taking a look, I found that it was indeed torn quite a bit, but it could still be repaired. All I had to do was sew the torn part back together and then embroider some patterns on the patch to cover it up.

She had heard about this mending technique from the embroidery workshop in Shangtang Village. It was said that it was Miss Hang who taught the method to the embroiderers herself.

After all, she had only heard about this technique from other embroiderers and had never practiced it herself, so she didn't want to be too confident at the moment.

"It should be repairable. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the needlework room and ask Miss Daxue and Miss Xiaoxue to borrow needles and thread."

Xianghuan said this and then got up and left.

Shuisheng responded blankly, and looking at her leaving back, he wanted to say that he was not busy at all.

Baozhu, who had just returned from the main courtyard after cleaning up the dishes, happened to see Shuisheng looking at Xianghuan's back with a strained look in his eyes, so she came over to take a look out of curiosity.

"Brother Shuisheng, are you looking at Sister Xianghuan? She has gone far away."

Shuisheng was frightened by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw Baozhu holding a heavy food box and standing beside him.

"You little girl, when did you stand next to me? Why didn't you even make a sound of footsteps?"

"I just got here!"

Baozhu smiled at him, turned around and went to the kitchen with the food box.

Even though she was carrying a heavy lunch box, the little girl's steps were still as light as usual. If you look closely, you can see that there is a circle of sandbags tied around her calves!

Shuisheng clicked his tongue and shook his head, showing sympathy to the little girl. Sister Qingshuang is going to use this girl as a training tool!

Baozhu had no idea that she was being pitied. After sending the food box into the kitchen, she came out and started chopping wood again. She moved the axe quickly and efficiently.

After chopping the firewood, the little girl was still busy. She carried a wooden bucket in each hand to the well to fetch water, and then brought back the water in two buckets to pour into the big water vat.

After reading this, Shuisheng suddenly felt that he had overflowed with sympathy. This little girl is just like a cow! She is too capable.

Ever since Qingshuang started teaching Baozhu kung fu, she instructed the servants in the mansion that the firewood used in the mansion and the water needed in each courtyard should all be left to Baozhu alone, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

At the beginning, Baozhu's mother, Zhang, felt so distressed when she saw her daughter chopping wood with an axe and having to fetch endless water every day. She shed countless tears when she picked the blisters on her daughter's hands at night.

However, even though she felt heartbroken, she knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted, so she always deliberately hid herself and didn't watch her daughter working hard.

Look, just a few days later, the little girl has become proficient in using an axe and a bucket.

Now, when Zhang sees her daughter working, she still feels distressed, but she feels more relieved.

In the sewing room, Xianghuan found Daxue and Xiaoxue and explained their purpose. Then the three of them sat together to discuss how to repair the torn cotton-padded jacket.

Xianghuan suggested the method she had thought of earlier, and as soon as she mentioned it, Xiaoxue and Daxue also expressed interest.

"I've never heard of this technique before! Miss Xianghuan, why don't you try this technique and let us learn from you!"

"I haven't tried this method before, and I don't know if I can do it well. I'll give it a try!"

In this way, the three girls became friends and discussed needlework with each other.

Soon, the torn cotton coat was mended and some patterns were embroidered on the patches to cover them. As long as you didn't look carefully, it looked no different from a new one.

Xiao Xue and Xiao Xue touched the mended cotton-padded jacket and praised it in admiration: "Oh! This is a great technique, Miss Xianghuan, you are so skillful, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."

"I heard that you and Master Shuisheng are engaged, but is that true? This cotton coat belongs to Master Shuisheng, right?"

"Have you set a date for the wedding? When are you going to get married?"

Xiang Huan felt very embarrassed when she heard their jokes. She blushed and said, "It's nothing. Don't talk nonsense."

After hurriedly saying goodbye to the two of them, she left with the repaired cotton coat.

After Xianghuan went to the sewing room, Shuisheng had been strolling around nearby, looking over there from time to time.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he finally saw the petite figure coming out and he hurried over.

Xianghuan didn't expect to see Shuisheng as soon as she came out. She quickly looked back and made sure that Xiaoxue and Daxue did not come out with her. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, she had not been able to admit her marriage to Shuisheng in front of others just now. If she went out and people saw them together, wouldn't it be a disgrace to her whole family?

"Why are you here?"

Shuisheng scratched his head guiltily and said, "I don't have anything to do. I'll just wait for you here."

"You really are..." Xianghuan was both angry and amused, "idiot."

Shuisheng grinned when he heard that. She called him a fool again. That sounded so nice!

Xianghuan saw his silly smile and glared at him unhappily, then stuffed the bundle into his hand and said, "Here you go, it's fixed."

After saying that, she walked forward.

Shuisheng didn't have time to be surprised, so he ran after her and took out a wooden carved rabbit from his arms and handed it to her.

"this is for you."

"What is this?" Xianghuan stopped, took the wood carving, and looked at him in confusion.

Shuisheng explained embarrassedly: "Well, didn't you say the one I carved before was ugly? I carved another one. Take a look. Do you like it?"

Maybe it was because of the materials used. The previous one was made of dark gray wood. He was thinking that she had a little gray rabbit, so he chose wood of similar color.

However, this time, he used white wood, and the little rabbit he carved out, after polishing, became snow-white and shiny, and looked very beautiful.

Xianghuan held the little rabbit in the palm of her hand and rubbed it, neither saying whether she liked it nor disliked it. After a while, she raised her foot and continued walking forward.

"I have to go find the young lady. It's getting late. I should go back home."

Although Shuisheng was a little reluctant, he also knew that they had been out for too long and would eventually have to return home.

So he said "oh" softly and continued to follow her.

But after walking a few steps, I heard her say, "Don't follow me."

After she finished speaking, before he could react, Xianghuan quickened her pace and walked towards the main courtyard.

In the afternoon, Zhou Ru and her servants left.

When he returned to Zhou's house, he heard that Zhou Tong drove his carriage in circles around the capital city on purpose, and took the people who were following him from Cheng'en Marquis's house for a few rounds like monkeys.
