Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 246 Buying Clothes

Song Ying just remembered this, thought for a moment, and said: "In any case, you should tell Xiaoxiang that she can make the decision whether to join us later.

Otherwise, on the day of Sister Xiao Cui's wedding, we all put on makeup for Sister Xiao Cui, but she, as her cousin, didn't show any expression. What do you want outsiders to say about Xiao Xiang?

Just tell her, and she can prepare one for herself even if she can't come with us."

Luo Yanxing pursed his lips and said after a long while: "Okay, for the sake of our sisterhood of more than ten years, I will take care of her once more."

Song Ying knew that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he didn't take her angry words to heart at all, and advised: "There are still many days before the 21st, you don't have to be too anxious. If everyone agrees, remember to find out Sister Xiao Cui's body size, and don't forget the size of her wrist."

The two men agreed.

Song Ying originally thought it would take at least three or four days, but unexpectedly, they came to the clinic at noon the next day. "You guys came up with it so quickly!"

Song Ying was surprised. He glanced at the crowd but didn't see Xiaoxiang, and felt a little disappointed.

Luo Yanxing saw what she was looking for at a glance and said angrily, "I told her, and she said she would prepare a gift for Sister Xiao Cui."

Song Ying put away his disappointment and nodded: "That's good."

Today was a happy occasion, and Luo Yanxing didn't want to spoil everyone's fun by talking too much about Xiaoxiang, so he continued, "Sister Pan Di and Sister San Niu couldn't leave, so they asked us to bring money. We agreed that each of us would pay 300 coins."

"For eight of us, that's 2400 coins, which is enough to buy a snow gown, a silver hairpin, and a silver bracelet, with some left over." Song Ying smiled and made plans, "After we go to the store to check it out, we'll discuss whether to buy better quality items or some other accessories."

Lin Wenxuan, who was inside the house, came out upon hearing the noise and said with a smile, "I'll round it up for you guys."

He took out 600 coins from his purse and handed them to the girls, who were all stunned.

Song Ying was stunned for a moment and declined, "Brother, you gave too much. Sister Xiao Cui will not accept it after knowing it. Just add a little less."

"It's okay. I don't spend much money. 600 coins is nothing." As he spoke, Lin Wenxuan blinked at Song Ying and said vaguely, "Didn't you forget that I got a large sum of money last time?"

Song Ying thought about it and realized that he was talking about the hush money given by the Shen family last time, but things were not calculated in this way.

600 coins were not a lot for Lin Wenxuan, but he and Zhao Xiaocui were not related by blood after all, and they were friends who grew up together, so the money only added 300 coins to the dowry. If Lin Wenxuan, a stranger, gave 600 coins to someone with ulterior motives, it would probably lead to a lot of rumors, especially to Zhao Xiaocui's husband's family.

Seeing that Lin Wenxuan didn't realize this, Song Ying had to make it clear, "We can only take out 300 coins each, and you added 600 coins. How embarrassing it is for us who grew up with Sister Xiaocui. If outsiders knew about this, they wouldn't even say that your relationship is better than ours."

Her reminder was so straightforward that Lin Wenxuan finally reacted. After thinking for a moment, he asked hesitantly, "Then how much should I add?"

"Well, we have 300 coins, and you can pay 200 coins. We only started making money last year, and we are not as wealthy as you."

"That's fine." Lin Wenxuan took 400 coins and handed the remaining 200 coins to Song Ying. "You go with them to Yunxiu Tower. I'll talk to Master."

Song Ying shook his head. "Master's medicine hasn't been changed yet. I have to help you. Yan Xing, take everyone into the house to warm up by the fire. My brother and I will go to Master's medicine change. We will set out soon. The water in the stove is boiled. The cups are on the cabinet over there. You can pour some boiled water and drink it to warm yourself up first."

"Change the dressing? What happened to Doctor Ma?" The thoughtful Erni asked with concern.

"I had an accident the day before yesterday. I cut my hand while cutting medicine."

Erni hesitated, "How about we go see Doctor Ma?"

Song Ying thought about it and nodded: "Okay, you go say hello to Master Uncle first, and then go to the pharmacy and wait for me."

During the time they spent together, Song Ying got to know Dr. Ma's personality better. He also didn't like complicated interpersonal relationships. He wouldn't get angry if Yan Xing and the others didn't go, and he would even be more relaxed. However, Yan Xing and the others still had to show their courtesy, as this was basic interpersonal relationships.

Sure enough, after Jian Dan greeted the girls and received their concern, Doctor Ma asked Song Ying to take them to the pharmacy for tea. Song Ying sent her friends to the door, then turned back and changed the medicine for Doctor Ma together with Lin Wenxuan.

Quarter of an hour later, a group of girls set out towards East Street and headed straight for Yunxiu Tower. They had to buy the snow coat that Zhao Xiaocui wanted most first, and then talk about other things with the remaining money.

There was still some time before the Chinese New Year and the weather was cold, so there were not many people on the streets, especially in East Street. Rich families who needed goods would ask the shopkeeper to bring them to their homes, so the street was particularly deserted. In Yunxiu Tower, there was only one clerk, Xiao Cui.

"Sister Xiao Cui, why are you alone here today?" Song Ying greeted her with a smile as she entered the room.

Hearing the name Song Ying, Erni and the others were stunned for a moment and all looked at the clerk. What a coincidence, her name was also Xiao Cui.

The shop assistant named Xiao Cui came over with a smile and said, "It's Doctor Xiao Song. Are you bringing your sisters to take care of our business?"

"Of course not. The snow coats in your store are so beautiful. Who wouldn't be tempted by them?" Song Ying half-jokingly and half-complimented, then explained the purpose of his visit, "A good friend of mine is getting married soon, and we want to buy her a snow coat as a dowry. Do you still have those snow coats from last time?"

"Yes!" Xiao Cui was even happier and led them to the second floor. "Our snow coats are selling very well. They were out of stock some time ago. Fortunately, our shopkeeper had foresight and saw the good momentum, so he urged the embroiderer to make another batch in advance."

"The shopkeeper is kind and blessed. No wonder her business is so prosperous." Song Ying had been saying nice things since he entered the store. After blessing the shopkeeper, he also blessed Xiao Cui. "During the Chinese New Year, your shopkeeper will definitely give you a big red envelope!"

Xiao Cui couldn't stop laughing, "Doctor Xiao Song's mouth looks like it's covered with honey."

As she was talking, they had already reached the upper floor. She bent down and took out one of each style of bright red snow coat from under the counter. "This bright red snow coat is perfect for adding to your makeup. It is beautiful and festive to wear during the New Year. It is perfect."

Er Ni and the others could not help but stare in amazement at the exquisitely crafted, finely made fabrics, and glittering snow coats.

Song Ying nudged Erni with his elbow and said, "Sister Erni, don't be too envious. When you get married, we will buy you one too."
