The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 86 - 83 New Clothes
Chapter 86: Chapter 83 New Clothes
Madam Jiang also wanted to go help with book printing, but then she remembered that she had just finished making the new clothes and cotton-padded jackets for the children this morning.
Madam Liu went to the city early this morning, so she had also finished making clothes for Xuanbao and Ruo Xian, since it was only the final step anyways.
The boys had already tried on their clothes at noon, and she had made adjustments to those that didn’t fit. Now, only Xuanbao was left, "Xuanbao, come try on the new clothes to see if they fit. If they’re not right, your second mother-in-law will adjust them for you. Tomorrow, you can wear new clothes along with your brothers!"
"Okay." Ruo Xuan was planning to run to Divine Lord Xuanyuan to check on the contract, but upon hearing this, she immediately ran over to try on the new clothes.
She wanted to wear the new clothes to meet Divine Lord Xuanyuan.
Gently, Madam Jiang helped Ruo Xuan take off her old clothes and put on the new dress.
Lately, Xuanbao had been growing quickly. The new clothes were made early, and though Madam Liu made them larger, hoping they could be worn for two to three years, they now just fit perfectly.
After dressing Xuanbao, Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Just perfect, our Xuanbao looks so beautiful in it! Like a delicate, exquisitely carved little fairy!"
Madam Liu, standing aside, felt a bit of regret, "It does look nice, but it’s just a bit too small. I should have allowed for more room."
She hadn’t expected Xuanbao to grow so fast; the clothes would only fit for this season, and likely wouldn’t work by next spring.
The more Madam Jiang looked at Xuanbao, the more beautiful she found her, making her long for a daughter of her own, "It’s lovely because it fits. Our Xuanbao is blessed. In the future, all her clothes must be fitted, with new ones made every season. Your second mother-in-law will make them for you."
Ruo Xuan also thought they looked nice, and they were more comfortable than the old grey ones. She sweetly said, "Thank you, second mother-in-law."
Madam Liu thought of the better days the family was having now, and that the old Madame Xuanyuan had given them plenty of fabric. If it didn’t fit, they could just make new clothes, so she brightened up.
Madam Jiang noticed Xuanbao’s two little hair buns, "Let me redo your hair for you."
Xuanbao’s hair was black, smooth, glossy, and thick; it would be such a waste not to style it beautifully.
Having said this, she quickly rummaged through the cabinet, found two light green ribbons, and helped Xuanbao redo her hair into a pair of twin buns, tying the ribbons around them.
Heavens!
So beautiful!
So pretty!
She couldn’t resist kissing Xuanbao, "Our Xuanbao is truly beautiful!"
She couldn’t help but feel the urge to make clothes for Xuanbao again!
Having a daughter really is wonderful; you can dress her up in different styles every day, making her look pretty and smart.
Unfortunately, she had to go and help with book printing, so there was no time to make clothes for now.
Watching her beautiful daughter who looked like a little fairy, Madam Liu felt a burst of pride: I gave birth to her, of course, she’s beautiful!
Flowers love beauty, and hearing Madam Jiang’s endless praise, Ruo Xuan’s smile was radiant, "Thank you, second mother-in-law, you’re beautiful too! I can’t wait, I have to show my brothers and father how pretty I look!"
This made Madam Jiang burst into hearty laughter.
Madam Liu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "That trait she definitely gets from her father!"
Madam Jiang laughed, "Right!"
Then the two sisters-in-law went off to help with the book printing.
Ruo Xuan boasted to her family members and, after harvesting countless praises, ran off to Xuanyuan Que to show off her beauty.
Of course, she didn’t forget to bring a few sugar candies that Master Liu had prepared for her early in the morning.
Xuanyuan Que was sitting under a pomelo tree reading a book, with big yellow pomelos hanging from the branches. When the breeze blew, the fruits swayed, and the old Madame Xuanyuan was scared they might fall and hit her grandson, who was absorbed in reading.
She didn’t understand why her grandson liked to change his reading spots lately—he was beside the pomegranate tree yesterday, and now he’s under the pomelo tree.
Suddenly, the grandson who had been engrossed in his book looked up in a certain direction for a moment, then lowered his head as if nothing had happened and continued reading. The old Madame Xuanyuan knew then that Xuanbao had arrived!
She turned to Yuhua, the attendant by her side, and said, "Yuhua, go prepare some treats."
With a knowing smile, Yuhua went to fetch the osmanthus cakes shaped like rabbits.
Sure enough, before long, Ruo Xuan’s cheerful voice rang out, and soon after, a radiant little figure appeared, "Grandma Xuanyuan, Brother Xuanyuan, I’m here!"
The old Madam Xuanyuan looked at Ruo Xuan, who was rushing over in her new clothes, the spitting image of a Little Fairy descending to earth, and she couldn’t help but adore her, "Oh my, Xuanbao looks so pretty in her new clothes! Grandma almost thought a fairy had come down from the heavens!"
Ruo Xuan came in front of the old Madam Xuanyuan with a brilliant smile and split two candies for her, "Hee hee, thank you, Grandma, have some candy, I’m going to show Brother now!"
Then Ruo Xuan dashed toward Xuanyuan Que who wasn’t far away.
She ran up to Xuanyuan Que and said, "Brother Xuanyuan."
Xuanyuan Que gave her a calm look, his gaze inquiring, Something the matter?
Then Xuanyuan Que watched as she twirled on the spot, her skirt flaring out like a little umbrella, ribbons in her hair fluttering in the wind, resembling a blooming large Xuancao Flower swaying in the breeze.
Her new outfit was a chest-high robe and skirt, the top in pale grass color and the skirt in the color of Xuancao Flower, with the front placket and cuffs embroidered with some Xuancao Flowers that weren’t as pretty as her.
The whole person looked very much like a Xuancao Flower!
"Brother Xuanyuan, do I look pretty?"
"Mm," Xuanyuan Que glanced at her briefly before turning back to continue reading his book.
Flower Fairies and Flower Demons in the Fairy Realm were considered to be of higher beauty, of course, Xuancao Flower wasn’t the prettiest flower, and she naturally wasn’t the most beautiful Flower Fairy in the Fairy Realm, but on earth, she was enough to outshine all of humanity.
"This dress was made by my mother and Aunt Liu. My hair bun was done by Aunt Liu as well, and she also gave me this ribbon. When the wind blows, it flutters up, doesn’t it resemble my leaves?"
She loved the two ribbons on her hair the most!
"Mm."
"The color of this skirt, isn’t it very close to my flower? Of course, it’s not as beautiful as my flower, but it’s also pretty. Do I look a lot like my true form now?"
"Mm," Xuanyuan Que noncommittally replied, the one who really talked non-stop was actually her.
"It’s a pity that human clothes are not very comfortable, not as comfortable as the clothes you helped me create with Immortal Technique, Brother Xuanyuan. This skirt isn’t as pretty as that one either. If I wasn’t able to cultivate, my skin would be all red from these fabrics. This new outfit’s material is a bit better, softer, and much more comfortable than the old clothes."
Ruo Xuan lifted her sleeve, revealing half an arm as plump as a little lotus root.
Xuanyuan Que glanced at it: The tender white arm indeed showed a flush of pink from the fabric’s friction, not severe, the kind that doesn’t hurt.
Flowers and grasses are delicate; the slightest touch can cause damage.
The fabrics were silk brocade, already quite soft, but she was active, and clothes rubbing against her skin would inevitably cause discomfort, right?
"But it’s all fine with cultivation!" Ruo Xuan activated her cultivation mode, and her skin was quickly repaired, becoming tender white and smooth again.
Xuanyuan Que withdrew his gaze.
He thought of the Heavenly Silkworms that had started to spin their silk, and a certain amount of Heavenly Silk should be left over after making the Qiankun Bags, enough to make a set of clothes.
Having shown off her beauty, Ruo Xuan began to attend to serious matters, "Brother Xuanyuan, take a look at this contract document."
Xuanyuan Que’s gaze fell upon the red thumb print on the document.
Ruo Xuan asked, "Did that person use Child’s Blood to draw the runes?"
"Mm," Xuanyuan Que’s eyes grew fierce and chilly.
And it wasn’t just one!
"We must find these children first," Xuanyuan Que said with an icy voice.
