Chapter 746: Chapter 751 Miss Gu’s Family_1
Qiao Duo’er quickly arrived in town, where she had arranged to go shopping with Chen Yiling today to buy some things for the child.
Tan Zhenghong, on the other hand, headed to the store first; they were receiving facial mask powder in the storeroom today, and he needed to keep an eye on it.
With springtime at its peak and Chen Yiling’s belly not too large, it was an excellent opportunity for shopping.
Without the Yin Family and Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, the town had become much more prosperous.
It didn’t take long before the two of them had purchased quite a few small items, such as clothes, quilts, copper basins, and roasted soap pods.
These things could be delegated to servants, but doing it oneself felt more personal.
The last big item on the list was a cradle, so they went together to Wind Liyang’s carpentry shop.
The one attending to them was none other than Gu Qingdie, whom the Zou’s were particularly fond of as a daughter-in-law.
With delicate features, an elegant personality, and graceful manners, Gu Qingdie was indeed a rare beauty to behold.
No wonder the Zou’s were eager to hasten the marriage between the two.
"Do you ladies need anything?" Gu Qingdie asked with a smile.
Touching her slightly showing belly, Chen Yiling said, "I came to pick out a cradle. We have known each other for so long, you have to recommend me one that’s both practical and beautiful."
"Just a few days ago, our master carpenter made a few new cradles, let me show you."
Gu Qingdie led the two to the storeroom in the backyard.
Loft beds and sofas were very popular now, and everything else had to be stored in the backyard.
"This one is made of Huanghuali wood, constructed with large planks, and later it can be converted into a separate little bed, that one over there is rosewood..."
Gu Qingdie introduced them with expertise, showing no signs that just a few days prior, she was the second young lady of Gu’s Family.
She must have put in a lot of effort for Wind Liyang.
"Qingdie, you’re really amazing, you’ve become so knowledgeable in just a few days!" Chen Yiling gave her a thumbs-up.
"You flatter me, Yi Ling sister, I only know a little," said Gu Qingdie, modestly lowering her head.
Business was the only thing that could get her a few words with Wind Liyang, so naturally, she treasured this chance.
But she felt that she still wasn’t good enough.
Otherwise, Wind Liyang wouldn’t avoid giving her a direct look, so she had to work even harder.
Chen Yiling playfully scolded, "Don’t be modest, being able to do this much in just a few days is great. The shop is busy, so I won’t hold you up from doing business. Later on, just have someone deliver the cradle to my place."
She pointed to a cradle made of sour wood, which had a simple but elegant design.
"I’ll arrange for the delivery right away, please feel free to look around more."
Gu Qingdie immediately agreed, thinking of also sending some gifts along, for she was very grateful that they had not shown her the slightest disdain.
Being able to come to Gu’s Family shop made her both happy and anxious: happy to be with the person she liked, but worried about other people’s scorn and disdain.
A Miss Housekeeper like her, marrying into a carpenter’s shop, would definitely be the subject of ridicule.
But now, she felt there was nothing to worry about at all!
Having left the carpentry shop, Chen Yiling, who was starving, followed her nose to a noodle shop.
"You really have the nose of a dog!"
Qiao Duo couldn’t help but tease. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Chen Yiling replied with a mischievous smile, "Wait until you’re pregnant, then you’ll understand."
She was just one of those pregnant women particularly sensitive to smells; she could distinguish even the faintest of scents.
Qiao Duo had nothing to say; indeed, some people unlocked new skills when they were pregnant.
Soon, the Yangchun noodles were served.
Clear soup, pristine noodles, topped with a bit of green onion—it looked very tempting.
Anxious to eat, Chen Yiling picked up her chopsticks, "I’m starting; I won’t wait for you."
