Cui Lingyi opened the box and saw the lotus flower embroidery pattern on the handkerchief. She was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned into moving spring water. She picked up the handkerchief and covered the corners of her mouth that could not help but curl up.
The next day, when Cui Lingyi saw Sheng Huaixuan again, she was no longer cold. From time to time, she would smile brightly.
Bai Wutong instinctively sensed it and asked her privately, “What is happening?’
Cui Lingyi glanced at her shyly and handed her the embroidered handkerchief in her arms.
Bai Wutong picked up the embroidered handkerchief. On it was an exquisite double-sided lotus flower.
The lotus flower symbolized love and unity between couples. Sheng Huaixuan had given her a lotus flower embroidered handkerchief. It was already a very straightforward way of confessing.
Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows and looked at her suggestively. “I’m waiting for your wedding.”
Cui Lingyi said generously, “If that day really comes, you can drink as much as you want.”
Bai Wutong chuckled. “1 definitely will.”
Judging from Sheng Huaixuan’s cautious personality, if he took the initiative to hand her a lotus embroidered handkerchief, he would definitely marry Cui Lingyi.
The team arrived at a gathering place of the Syrians. After resting there for a night and storing enough water, they were about to officially enter the desert.
The gathering place of the Syrians was filled with small bungalows built with yellow soil. The periphery was filled with tents.
They would gather here every half a month to buy the materials they needed and sell their goods. Then, they would continue their nomadic life and set off for the next gathering place.
When the Southern Frontier was at war, the caravans did not dare to enter deeper. The gathering of the Syrians was the most popular among the caravans.
Yu Suisheng’s caravan had a special gathering point here. The Syrians who worked with them would move the goods over and wait to count the goods.
Looking at the small bungalows, they finally did not have to sleep in the tent that night.
After entering the small bungalow, Chu Tianbao, who had not been intimate for many days, picked up Bai Wutong and placed her on the bed. He leaned over and kissed her.
As they kissed deeply, the temperature in the small bungalow gradually heated up.
Panting, Bai Wutong pushed him away and said with a carefree smile, “I want to walk around. ‘
The marketplace had yet to stop operation. By the time Chu Tianbao ended, they could forget about going.
Chu Tianbao didn’t say anything. His gaze deepened as he hugged her and kissed her fiercely. He kissed her until her heart softened and her legs went weak. When her mind was blank and she forgot about the marketplace, Chu Tianbao let go of her. His seductive voice was deep and hoarse as he said. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Unsatisfied, Bai Wutong licked the corner of her mouth and hooked her arms around his neck. “Tianbao is so nice.” She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his.
Chu Tianbao’s eyes darkened, and his exquisite Adam’s apple moved. He held her to his chest with an expression as though saying he would eat her up if she didn’t leave.
Bai Wutong chuckled. If she hadn’t made an appointment with Cui Lingyi, she wouldn’t have wanted to leave.
The Syrians were nomads with a long history. There were many goods at the marketplace, and there were also many strange delicacies.
Xiaobai was regarded by the Syrians as the Wolf God. If it appeared, it would definitely cause a commotion at the gathering.
But it was very cunning. Even though it was locked up in the room, it could think of a way to come out of the room.
So Bai Wutong put on a special Northeastern floral dress, wooden glasses, tied a headscarf, and dressed up Xiaobai.
Xiaobai walked in front with an elegant gait, like a northeastern noblewoman.
There were so many people around, but no one could tell that it was a pure bred white wolf.
It was dressed strangely. Some Syrians even asked her what Xiaobai was wearing on its eyes.
Bai Wutong smiled. “It makes your eyes look big.”
Realization dawned on the Syrians, as they exclaimed that she really knew how to dress up her dog.
Xiaobai even wagged its big tail smugly.
When Sheng Huaixuan heard the answer, he stared at Xiaobai again and again.
He felt that its eyes had indeed widened, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The locals all thought that big eyes and high noses were beautiful. Such effective eye enlarging accessories would definitely be welcomed. Immediately, a creative thought appeared in his mind. He wanted to sell exquisite glasses in the jewelry shop. If he advertised it well, it would definitely be able to start a new trend.
Just as Sheng Huaixuan was about to ask Bai Wutong to design the eye frame, a fat Syrian took a fancy to Xiaobai’s Northeastern flowery robe. She praised in surprise, “The color of its clothes is really beautiful! Where did you buy it from?
Can I buy it now?”
The Syrians had fair skin and looked a little like Eastern Europeans. They could pull off the dazzling colors of the dress, so the local women were all dressed very brightly.
The material of the robe looked a little tacky, but it would accentuate one’s skin tone. Naturally, they liked it.
Bai Wutong only brought one batch of cloth. She made Stinky a set of clothes similar to Xiaobai’s and did not have much left. She looked at Sheng Huaixuan.
“Is there any local place for fabric dyeing?”
Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, ‘There is a place for fabric dyeing, but there’s no suitable fabric. We can get the caravan to transport it directly from the south next time.”
After receiving Sheng Huaixuan’s answer, she replied the Syrian woman, “We don’t have this fabric now, but you might see it next time you go to the shops in the north and south.”
The woman was disappointed initially, but she immediately became happy again and cupped her hands in thanks. ‘Thank you.”
Bai Wutong mimicked her posture and cupped her hands in return.
They continued forward. There were constantly many Syrian women who had their eyes on the northeastern flower patterns on Xiaobai. She could only repeat what she had just said to them again and again.
They passed a stall selling fabrics. The stall owner was selling some rough canvas.
These canvases were specially used to set up tents.
If the wind died down after spring, the canvas cloth would not be easy to sell.
Bai Wutong touched the canvas, but a smile appeared on her face.
There was a dark blue cloth. Wasn’t this the fabric of jeans!
She had been watching the Syrian tent from afar and had not realized that it was made of this material.
The stall owner had a lot of stock piled up and looked at them with a worried expression.
She saw the Northeastern flowers on Xiaobai’s body and asked with interest. She even had the intention to buy and sell the Northeastern flowers fabric.
Bai Wutong took the opportunity to chat with her. “The canvas isn’t easy to sell. Why don’t you make it into clothes?”
The stall owner explained with a smile, ‘The canvas is used to set up tents. It’s thick and heavy to wear. It’s not convenient to ride a horse in it.”
Seeing that Bai Wutong was interested, she suggested, “It’s not bad to make into cloth boots. They’re tough and resistant to wear and tear. It’s just that it’s easy to sweat and stink when it’s stuffy.”
Hearing her direct words, Bai Wutong couldn’t help but chuckle. No wonder she couldn’t sell it. If she put it so bluntly, no one would buy it.
The stall owner thought that she was dressed exquisitely and luxuriously and would definitely not buy canvas. Just as she was about to ask where there caravans were going, she suddenly said, “l want all your cloth.”
The stall owner stopped abruptly, suspecting that she had misheard. “Really? Why are you buying so much canvas cloth?’
Seeing her confused expression, Bai Wutong couldn’t help but laugh again. She was really not suitable to sell things.. How could there be a seller who complained that she had bought too much?
