Cai Wei nodded, lifted her arm and knocked on the carriage wall, and Zhang Bo’s voice immediately came in: "Miss, Young Master, do you have any orders?"
Cai Wei said, "Zhang Bo, if the carriage passes a tailor shop, stop for a while. We need to buy some clothes for Dad."
"Yes, Miss." Zhang Bo respectfully agreed, and his eyes began to dart between the signs of various shops.
There are many tailors in the county town, almost one every few steps. Not long after Cai Wei gave her order, Zhang Bo stopped the carriage, "Miss, we are here."
Cai Wei lifted the carriage curtain and saw a decent-looking tailor shop not far ahead, hanging a sign that read "Xuji’s Tailor Shop".
After getting out of the carriage, Cai Wei first picked up Wu’er, who, after some time of drinking Lingxi River water and eating space-grown vegetables, had gained a fair amount of weight. His skin had become white and tender and he looked very cute. She couldn’t help kissing his round little face. When she tried to pick up Wen’er, he dodged and crawled out of the carriage on his own. His little face serious and inviolable, he walked ahead, back straight, mimicking the way his father usually acted.
How cute! This little thing is acting mature again!
Cai Wei, holding back her laughter and carrying Wu’er, followed him. Fei’er was giggling and followed them into the shop.
Xuji’s Tailor Shop was large and stocked full with all kinds of clothes- woolen, fur, cotton, yarn, satin- it had everything.
On one of the walls hung some leather skins-- rabbit, black fox, snow wolf, mink- all dyed and ready for sale.
Cai Wei led everyone to the section that sold men’s robes and started choosing clothes for her dad. She had high standards and good taste. She chose a low-profile lake blue silk-cotton robe with mink fur edges on the collar, sleeves, and robe edge, a pair of four-stitch black leather boots, a pair of white cotton socks; underwear, lingerie; all low-profile yet luxurious items. When it came time to pay, those items took up a large bundle.
Cai Wei handed the bundle to Zhang Bo, instructing him to take it back straight away. She knew that once her parents returned to the inn, her mother would first start preparing her father’s bath, and then while bathing, she would gently explain what had happened.
This is how a husband and wife should interact, creating a warm, beautiful atmosphere. Even if they’re discussing serious issues, they can still be relaxed and at ease.
Mu Zhongqing sat quietly in the misty bathtub, lovingly served by his wife. Watching his beautiful wife busy herself for him, his heart couldn’t help but soften.
All the grievances, frustrations, and other negative emotions he had been feeling lately had vanished in the face of his wife’s tender care.
Without a doubt, his wife was the best woman in the world. She was gentle, kind, beautiful, patient. She loved him so much that she, a heiress of Duke An’s mansion, could bear such poverty and put up with his parents’ constant picking and difficulties. She endured and held up this family with him without complaint!
His father, brother, and nephews had been betrayed by his wife and daughter. Although it was uncomfortable, he would never blame them. He knew the nature of his wife and daughters; they would never do such a thing unless they were pushed to their limits.
"Lady Mei, I’m sorry for the difficulties you’ve had to endure recently!"
Mu Zhongqing said solemnly, his rough hand strokes his wife’s head, the handkerchief covering her hair silently slipped off, revealing the root of the hair that had been cut very short. Mu Zhongqing paused, his heart ached uncontrollably!
