Chapter 136 Did He Do Something Wrong?
"Yeah." He Chunlin nodded.
He also knew that Hua Rui was wearing old clothes brought from the capital, and she also brought two sets of palace maid uniforms.
Huarui stood in front of him and twirled her fingers.
He Chunlin raised his eyes and glanced at Hua Rui. "Anything else?"
"Husband, can you give me some money?" Hua Rui asked.
He Chunlin's expression froze for a moment. "Don't you have some money with you?"
Hua Rui's face turned pale immediately, "I don't have much money left."
"I told you guys that you don't know how to save money! Look, now you need to use it but you don't have any money." He Chunlin scolded Hua Rui, then got up and went back to the house. Not long after, he came back from inside the house, "Here are 200 coins, that should be enough."
"Two hundred coins?" Hua Rui's expression became even uglier... "That's not necessary!"
She felt so wronged. If she had listened to Su Jixiang, when they got married, a palace maid offered a high price to help with hair and makeup. She listened to He Chunlin and didn't take the job! When He Chunlin told her that he would take care of everything at home, she was happy and thought that she would have someone to rely on in the future, so she didn't want to make money on her own. Now she regrets it so much!
"No need? Then I'll put it away." He Chunlin actually took back the two hundred coins.
Hua Rui was so angry that she went straight back to her room and slammed the door.
He Chunlin frowned. This woman really has a bad temper!
Hua Rui opened her purse. Besides the dowry silver given to her by the army, there was also some change she brought from the palace, which totaled no more than about twenty taels.
The next day, Hua Rui went to Mangcheng and looked around at two clothing stores. She found that many of the clothes cost five or six taels of silver, and those clothes looked good when worn. But she really didn't have much money left, and couldn't waste it on new clothes.
"If you are short of money, madam, we have some old clothes here, all discarded by wealthy families." The owner of the clothing store saw Hua Rui's disappointment and said quickly.
"How much does it cost?" Hua Rui asked carefully, holding her purse.
"Just two or three taels of silver will be enough!" said the shopkeeper.
When He Chunlin returned home that night and saw Hua Rui altering clothes under the lamp, he asked curiously, "Is this the new clothes you bought?" He flipped through them and said, "This is not new either. Were you cheated by the shopkeeper?"
"Of course it's not new." Hua Rui said.
The dress was a little too big for her petite figure, so she had to adjust the waistline herself.
"These unscrupulous businessmen! How much did it cost? Since they are buying clothes, they should buy new ones." He Chunlin said.
"Buy new ones, buy new ones. I only have so little money, how can I afford new clothes?" Hua Rui was full of grievances, and this time she burst out. She said to He Chunlin in a bad mood, "You only gave me 200 coins and took it back! How much money do you think I should spend on new clothes? I can only buy this old set of clothes to decorate the store! This dress doesn't fit me, so I have to alter it now. Put it down for me! Don't mess it up!"
After she finished speaking, tears began to flow uncontrollably, but she turned her face away, wiped her tears, and continued to sew clothes. There would be a party tomorrow, and she had to alter the clothes tonight.
He Chunlin was stunned. "My clothes are only worth 200 coins!" He vaguely felt that he had done something wrong. "Don't modify them. I'll take you to buy a new set tomorrow."
Although it seemed that buying new clothes for a woman would cost a lot of money, no matter how slow He Chunlin was, he knew that Hua Rui was really angry.
Ever since Hua Rui told him last time that she wanted him to divorce him and that she couldn't live with him anymore, he really started to feel a little scared.
He likes Hua Rui! That's why he has long-term plans... He also planned to spend his whole life with Hua Rui, but he didn't know that Hua Rui would dislike him so much... He Chunlin was a little at a loss.
"Let go!" Hua Rui's eyes turned red when she saw He Chunlin grabbing the corner of her newly bought clothes. She said, "No need! I'll just change the clothes!"
"It's better not to change it. Return it tomorrow and buy a new one." He Chunlin said.
When Hua Rui heard the word "return", she thought of the last time He Chunlin insisted on asking her to return the cakes and other things that Qu Wanning and Su Jixiang bought for her. She was so angry that tears immediately fell out. She tried hard to hold back her tears and said, "Go away!" while pulling the corner of her clothes to get them back.
The material of the dress was pretty good and soft, but it was very tough to pull. When two people pulled it, they actually tore a hole in the corner of the dress.
He Chunlin and Hua Rui looked at each other in surprise. Seeing Hua Rui's eyes turn red again, He Chunlin was really a little panicked. "I didn't mean it!"
"Let go!" Hua Rui picked up the clothes and said while wiping her tears.
"I'll let go! I'll let go!" He Chunlin quickly let go of his hand. Hua Rui was so angry that she didn't even want to look at He Chunlin anymore. She picked up her clothes and went back to the room.
The next day, He Chunlin harnessed a horse-drawn carriage for the first time.
Hua Rui ignored him all night yesterday. He talked to her but she pretended not to hear.
Hua Rui got up early in the morning and put on her makeup. She had her clothes altered and the corners of them mended. However, if you look closely you can still see some stitches hanging out.
Hua Rui looks very pretty when she is dressed up. She has fair skin and is petite. After her clothes are tailored to fit her, she looks even more slender and graceful, which makes people want to protect her. Her face looks as pure and beautiful as a lotus when she is dressed up.
He Chunlin looked at his wife with his eyes wide open.
Even Hua Rui had no jewelry to decorate her hair, only a silver hairpin issued by the army when she got married, inserted in her hair.
"Hua Rui, let's take a ride." He Chunlin asked the coachman to drive the carriage over and said enthusiastically.
Hua Rui was still angry and didn't want to pay attention to him. But when she thought about how she was dressed today, if she walked to the busy city area like this, the hem of her skirt would inevitably be covered with snow. Once the snow melted, the hem of her skirt would be covered in mud.
So Huarui had no choice but to get on the carriage first.
They traveled in silence all the way. When Huarui and the others arrived at the garden, many carriages were already parked at the entrance of the garden.
Wei Dong was standing at the door waiting. Hua Rui handed over the invitation. After Wei Dong checked it, he asked Wei Feng to bring the person in.
As soon as Hua Rui and He Chunlin entered, they saw Bihe walking in front of them.
She was dressed very gorgeously today, wearing a white fox fur shawl and her hair was full of pearls and jade.
