Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Upon hearing that it was these two people, Guan Cen immediately frowned and said impatiently: "I really forgot to check the almanac before going out. How did I meet these two plague gods?"

"Who said it wasn't true!" Guan Lan said indignantly, "Our family and the Zhang family have always been at odds, and her husband and her husband have always been gossipy and unreasonable. When they saw her husband and her husband resting in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, it would have been fine if they didn't avoid them, but they had to approach them without any tact."

"Mr. Zhang and the head of the family are both officials in the same court, and it is not easy for my husband to break up with Mr. Zhang, so I moved half of the space to let them enter the pavilion."

"But who would have thought that the husband of the Zhang family was not only ungrateful, but also had the audacity to say something sarcastic. There have been rumors circulating in the capital recently that our husband has a bad fate and will bring bad luck to his wife. He said that he didn't believe it, but he was afraid that someone would listen to it, so he asked our husband to worship the gods and Buddhas more often to get rid of the bad luck."

"How dare he?!" Guan Cen was so angry when he heard this that he fell backwards and angrily cursed, "What did my husband say? And are you all dead? You just let our husband be bullied?"

Guan Lan hurriedly shook his head and said in an urgent tone: "Of course not. As soon as the husband of the Zhang family finished speaking, Brother Mingxuan beside the husband started to retort."

"Brother Mingxuan said, 'My son was born in the Changsun family, so he naturally has a noble destiny. I think these sour rumors must be those old men who have been married for many years but still can't get married. The husband of the Zhang family should not pick up such rumors after hearing them, so as not to disgrace the Zhang family's reputation.'"

"Well scolded! Everyone knows that her husband has been flirting with a girl from outside since he was in his teens and was deceived into losing his body. Now he is twenty-eight and still can't get married. Now that she sees that our husband is married to either a princess of the emperor or an important official, she is extremely jealous and deliberately comes to talk nonsense in front of her husband and her husband." Upon hearing this, Guan Cen couldn't help but applaud and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"When the young master of the Zhang family heard this, he was so angry that he immediately came to pull Brother Mingxuan and said he would slap him in the face. The husband was naturally not happy about this and they were about to fight. It was only when the abbot of the temple heard the news and hurried down to mediate that the two sides separated."

"But my husband and my husband no longer wanted to go to the pilgrimage, so they took us back down the mountain." Guan Lan sighed, looking unhappy, "You saw it just now, even though my husband said he was fine, it was clear from his expression that he had taken those nonsense to heart, and he's probably crying in his room right now."

Guan Cen recalled the way Chang Sun Yan frowned and pursed his lips when he came back just now, and he couldn't help but sigh, while secretly cursing Lin Xi in his heart.

If her husband had not wanted to pray for a lucky charm for her, he would not have gotten up so early in the morning to burn incense and take a bath, and even went to the trouble of climbing the mountain. In the end, he had to endure such humiliation.

Now the rumor about the husband being unlucky in marriage has spread all over the capital, but the "wife" has not said anything at all, which is really heartbreaking.

"A-choo!" Lin Xi, who was sitting at the desk drawing, suddenly sneezed loudly. His body shook, and the drawing with flowing lines and rich colors in his hand was smudged by the paint on the pen.

Seeing this, Lin Xi quickly put the brush aside, took out a handkerchief, dipped it in clean water, and gently touched it to the paper. Carefully wiped off the paint that was rubbed on it, and then used a dry handkerchief to absorb the excess water. Then he let out a long sigh of relief, put the finished drawing aside, and spread another piece of paper.

"Sir!" Lin Xi was just about to start writing when Huaiyun's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in." Lin Xi responded without even raising her head.

The door was pushed open, and Huaiyun walked in happily, holding a half-foot square wooden box in his hand, followed by two slaves carrying the box.

"Sir, I have done what you asked me to do a few days ago." Huaiyun raised his chin and motioned the two servants to go down. He walked to Lin Xi and handed the box in his hand to her.

"So fast?" Hearing this, Lin Xi finally raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, stood up and took the box.

"Money makes the world go round. The embroiderer took the money and worked happily day and night. He finished all the work today. He also told me to go find him if there is such a job in the future. His clothes-cutting skills are better than those of the embroiderers in the palace's clothing bureau." Huaiyun repeated the embroiderer's words with a smile on his face.

"So confident? Then I'd like to see if he really lives up to his reputation." Hearing this, Lin Xi curled the corners of his lips and opened the box in his hand.

I saw a pair of glittering shoes quietly placed in the box, with Shu brocade as the surface and warm jade as the bottom. The uppers were embroidered with orchid patterns in gold thread. The left and right toes were slightly upturned, each with a pearl the size of an apricot kernel, giving the uppers a layer of lustrous luster.

Even Huaiyun, who had seen countless good things with Lin Xi, couldn't help but let out a small exclamation when he saw such a pair of shoes, and sighed at the degree of care his master had for Changsun Langjun, "Sir, these shoes are so exquisitely made, my husband will definitely like them when he sees them."

Lin Xi was also very satisfied. After carefully checking that the shoes had no flaws, she looked at the things in the box and confirmed that they were consistent with her own drawings. Only then did she ask Huaiyun to deliver the things to Changsun Mansion as soon as possible.

So that afternoon, when Changsun Yan was curled up on the couch, seemingly flipping through the book in his hand, but in fact he was recalling in his mind what the Zhang family husband had said about him bringing misfortune to his wife, he was interrupted by a sudden noise coming from the yard.

He frowned subconsciously and was about to ask Guan Cen and the other man what had happened when he saw the bead curtain fluttering. Then Guan Cen, with a happy look on his face, walked in holding a box. Behind him, Guan Lan was directing several slaves to carry several large ebony boxes inside.

"My dear, Lady Lin has sent something again!" Guan Cen held the box in his hands with a smile on his face, and he had obviously forgotten how he complained about Lin Xi a few hours ago.

Chang Sun Yan raised his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking of. His heart suddenly trembled, his ears turned slightly red, and the book in his hand uncontrollably slipped onto the couch.

When the pair of exquisitely crafted jade shoes were taken out, all the servants in the room exclaimed in amazement.

"Look at the upper of this shoe. It's so gorgeous, like the brocade from Shu."

"And the sole of the shoe is warm to the touch, like warm jade."

"This is the oriental pearl produced in Heishui, right? It is such a rare treasure. I have only seen it on the crown my husband wore when he entered the palace."
