After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

After leaving the dental shop, Zhao Huanxi was in a good mood. This Su Yun was simply a walking treasure girl, so he drove the carriage to the cloth shop and bought Su Yun a new set of clothes.

Although it was just coarse linen, it was better than the tattered clothes I had before.

After changing her clothes, Su Yun looked completely refreshed. However, her expression was still dull and lifeless.

"Suyun, can you come home with me?" Huanxi said gently.

Hearing this, Su Yun slowly raised her head, looked at Huanxi and nodded weakly.

Then he drove to the vegetable market and gave Chunliu and Xiahe five taels of silver, asking them to buy vegetables and meat, and try any delicious food on the way. They were all girls in their twenties, and they still needed to go out for a walk occasionally.

He took Xu Qingzhao and Su Yun to the downtown area.

"Suyun, don't be afraid. My family is simple. As long as you can do your job well, I will never make things difficult for you. If you want to get married in a few years..."

"Madam, I won't marry..."

Seeing that the girl was a little nervous, Zhao Huanxi didn't say anything more. This girl is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year. In this era, she should have been married...

Whenever Zhao Huanxi saw any nice jewelry on the street, he would buy them all. He was not afraid of buying too much because he had a qualified person to carry his bags for him.

"Qing Zhao, your clothes are getting old. There's a clothing store up ahead. How about we go up there and buy you a couple of sets of clothes?"

Ready-made clothing shops weren't cheap; even a cheap set of clothes cost one or two taels of silver, so only the wealthy would buy them. The outfit Su Yun had just changed into was bought by cutting in line and paying an extra 100 wen, for a total of 300 wen.

When we arrived at the clothing store, the waiter inside looked like an ordinary person and his attitude was not very enthusiastic.

"Which of you three would you like to buy something from? What kind of fabric would you like the clothes made of?" Although the waiter looked down on them in his heart, he did not show it.

Zhao Huanxi smiled and said, "Give my young master two suits that fit him. As for the fabric, try something finer like cotton. Qingzhao, do you have a favorite color?"

Xu Qingzhao said lovingly, "I like dark blue."

Cyan? It seems to be a natural color for me, and I really like this color scheme.

"Please follow me, the three of you. The young master is very handsome. In my opinion, any color will suit him well." The waiter's flattering expression made Huanxi speechless.

How come you change your attitude like turning the pages of a book...

A piece of fine cotton cloth costs one or two taels of silver, not to mention that this is in a ready-made clothing store. No wonder the waiter smiled like that.

Walking to a corner, I saw a lot of men's clothes of various colors hanging on the wall. On the other side of the lobby, there were all kinds of women's clothes for sale. There were also many girls looking at clothes there.

Looking at the hanging robes, cloaks, and long skirts, I was dazzled with joy.

The waiter took out a plain, dark blue round-necked robe from inside, compared it to Xu Qingzhao, and praised it, "This dress looks like it was tailor-made for you, young master. Please go to the inner room and change into it, and show it to the two young ladies. I have a good eye for it."

Xu Qingzhao said hello and went to the changing room. When he came out after a while, Huanxi's eyes lit up.

The dark, violet-green hue made Xu Qingzhao's complexion appear even whiter. At nearly 1.8 meters tall, she looked like a model in the round-necked robe. The belt, in particular, perfectly defined her figure, showcasing her broad shoulders, slim waist, and long legs, complemented by her dashing, handsome face...

It is true that clothes make the man. After putting on this outfit, Qing Zhao looks just like the male protagonist in a novel.

The little girls on the other side were all whispering shyly towards this side.

Zhao Huanxi said with satisfaction: "Well, this dress is beautiful. How much is it?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Miss, this dress costs three taels and two cents. If you want it, I'll give it to you for three taels."

Zhao Huanxi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll buy two more at this price."

Xiao Er almost laughed out loud, and quickly responded, "Okay~"

Finally, she chose a dark blue robe with cloud-sleeved motifs and a dark blue plain jacket. After paying ten taels of silver and haggling for an extra tael, she finally bought a plain white fur coat. If she'd bought each of these separately, it would have cost at least two taels. She also spent five taels on three pairs of boots.

Xu Qingzhao was wearing the dark blue round-necked robe and had packed up several pieces of clothes and carried them on his back. Zhao Huanxi nodded in satisfaction.

Why does this feel so much like being kept as a mistress?

Xu Qingzhao looked at Huanxi, who was smiling like a flower, and said lovingly, "My wife, have I made your eyes light up?"

Zhao Huanxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Bright, bright, bright, bright! It's brighter than a light bulb."

Then they bought some desserts and snacks along the street, as well as several roast ducks and roast chickens, thinking of giving two to Old Master Lu's family when they got home.

Seeing that it was getting late, he drove the carriage to pick up Chunliu and the others.

Before I even got there, I saw Chunliu Xiahe standing at the entrance of the vegetable market, with bags of things under their feet. It looked like they had bought quite a lot.

Zhao Huanxi got out of the car and asked the two if they had eaten.

Chun Liu said a little embarrassedly, "Madam, we were greedy and ate at a roadside wonton stall, which cost us ten coins. Madam, we still have one ounce and two coins left."

She took the remaining silver in her hand and prepared to give it to Huanxi. Zhao Huanxi looked at the vegetables and meat on the ground and roughly calculated the prices. He concluded that these two people were honest and did not embezzle money.

So he waved his hand and said, "You guys can keep it. If you collect firewood in the backyard or chickens and ducks in the village, you don't need to ask me for money anymore."

So Chunliu took it and put it in his pocket. After they loaded the goods into the carriage, they actually saw two pigeons inside.

I went home and made some pigeon soup, which was very nutritious.

So I turned and went to Wenchuntang, bought some marinade ingredients there and then returned to the village.

She originally wanted to buy some medicinal herbs for making soup, but there were several small ginsengs and other things in her own field that could be very nutritious if she just picked one.

When they returned to the village, they went to Old Master Lu's house and gave them two of the roast chickens and roast ducks they had bought.

Old Master Lu looked at Xu Qingzhao, who was dressed richly, and pulled her to a corner, urging her:

"When are you going to come and ask for marriage? Look at how well dressed you are. You're barely a good match for my girl Huanxi. If you don't come and ask for marriage, are you planning to celebrate the New Year?"

Xu Qingzhao felt a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle, I'm just waiting for Huanxi to nod."

"Hmph, that's more like it. Wait for your Aunt Tian to go talk to Huanxi, and don't change your mind, kid."

"My heart is not made of stone; it cannot be turned."

Seeing that he was well-versed in literature and art, Old Master Lu was extremely satisfied.

He sent them away with a smile, and only gave up after promising Xu Qingzhao to ask his wife to act as a lobbyist.

The carriage was moving in the village, and many passers-by couldn't help but praise Xu Qingzhao for his elegant appearance.

At this time, a man rushed out from the corner, blocking the carriage, holding an extremely tacky bright red silk flower in his hand.

Zhao Huanxi had never seen this man before and didn't know who he was. It was Xu Qingzhao who whispered in his ear that this was the young grandson of the Lu clan leader, Lu Yuanke. He was studying in town. He was twenty-one years old and still unmarried.

Patriarch Lu is Old Master Lu’s uncle, and his grandson is his cousin in terms of seniority.

Zhao Huanxi jumped off the carriage and stepped forward and said, "Cousin Lu, is there something wrong?"

Lu Yuanke was a little impatient. He stuffed the red silk flower in his hand into Huanxi's hand and said coldly, "Sister Huanxi, these are the flowers I bought for you. Please accept them."

Zhao Huanxi seemed to have found something dirty. She quickly stuffed the silk flower back and said, "This is a gift without merit. Please take it back, cousin. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."
