Chapter 1320: The Mermaid in the Mansion
When Shi Li saw the seamstress, she was so surprised that she almost jumped up on the spot.
The clothes were made a few days ago, but she waited and waited but Shi Li never showed up.
Because Shi Li had obviously kept it a secret from Wen Ren Ding that day, the female tailor did not dare to rashly deliver clothes to his house. She could only hope that Shi Li would show up soon.
Otherwise, if she had a priceless set of mermaid silk clothes, she would have to sleep with one eye open.
"Wait for me, girl. I'll get it right away."
The female tailor turned around and walked back into the house. She soon came out carefully holding a brocade box and explained to Shi Li softly, "The fabric is really thin and transparent. I was afraid it would get creased, so I packed it very carefully."
"Thank you." Shi Li smiled with her eyes curved. Just as her fingers touched the brocade box, Wen Ren Ding who was standing next to her took it away first.
This is not necessarily out of consideration, but more likely out of impatience to see what the surprise is inside.
Shi Li looked at him holding the box with a smile, and did not expose him. She tapped her cheek with her fingers, curious about why the man was still hugging her when he already had the box.
However, she still underestimated Wen Ren Ding.
Holding his little girl in one hand was a piece of cake for Wen Ren Ding.
Little did they know that this scene made everyone in the entire live broadcast room so envious that tears were streaming from their mouths.
[Wow, hugging with one hand is so cool! 】
[I am not envious. After all, Master Ding only possesses the strength that an adult man should have (dog head)]
[I don’t care! I will let my husband hold me later. If he can’t hold me, we will divorce! ! ! ]
The last comment made Shi Li's mouth twitch slightly. When she was thinking about whether to persuade them to reconcile, Wen Ren Ding had already carried her to the carriage.
He couldn't wait to open the brocade box as soon as he got on the carriage.
Even though the lights on the carriage were not very bright, the silk in the brocade box still emitted a dazzling light, almost blinding the eyes.
"Does it look good? Do you like it?" Shi Li held her cheeks with both hands, waiting expectantly for Wen Ren Ding's reaction.
Wen Ren Ding did not show any happy expression. He gently stroked the priceless silk with his fingers, put the box aside, turned around and picked up Shi Li.
Shi Li: ???
"Don't do it next time. It's too hard." His voice sounded genuinely painful, without any hypocrisy.
"What's so hard about mermaids weaving silk?"
Shi Li was helpless, she hugged him back and muttered, "I just treat it as a joke. It's fine if you don't let me sell the mermaid pearls, I don't want to cry for no reason, but you can't even weave silk, isn't that too much?"
Wen Rending did not argue with her. After letting go, he grabbed her wrist again and held her hand in front of him to examine it carefully.
His eyes were so focused that even Shi Li could hardly bear it.
This... is probably what love means, that we always feel indebted.
Obviously, she lived a god-like life with everything provided for her, but because of Wen Ren Ding's love, even the smallest things she did seemed very difficult.
Shi Li felt sour and soft in her heart. She sniffed, picked up the clothes in the brocade box and unfolded them, gesturing in front of Wen Ren Ding, "Anyway, the clothes are ready. Are you not going to wear them? Then I'll give them to others."
"Put on." Wen Ren Ding held her hand together with her clothes, then lowered his head and kissed her palm again. His dark eyes flashed with a light that Shi Li didn't react to.
"I'll wear it when I get home."
How could the simple little mermaid think that this was what it meant to wear when she returned?
How can a grown-up need help with getting dressed? It's just a show of shame! ! !
The new emperor is a good monarch. He was taught by his former tutor and the late queen, and is wholeheartedly devoted to the rule of the world.
After receiving the token and silver note from the Wen family, he did not use any of them for himself, but invested them all in benefiting the people, doing one good thing after another that made the people sing his praises.
Later, the new emperor gradually figured out the Wen family's ways.
Whenever he needed money, he would not be polite at all. He would either go to them in person or bring Xiaoshuang with him and openly cry poor to Wen Ren Ding and Shi Li.
This trick didn't work on Wenren Ding, but it worked every time on Shi Li.
Hearing Xiaoshuang talking sadly about how a heavy snow left many people homeless, Shi Li couldn't help but shed a few tears along with her.
Wen Ren Ding could not bear to see this, so he immediately provided money and food and kicked the new emperor and Xiao Shuang out of the house, for fear that they would really make Shi Li cry.
After this happened a few times, Wen Ren Ding simply didn't need the new emperor to ask anything. Every time he heard about something happening, he would directly donate money and effort.
This will save him from having to come again, and it will save trouble for both parties.
The Wen family's enormous wealth did not decline. Instead, their business grew better and better, and they became a solid backing for the imperial family for hundreds of years.
The new emperor did not hide anything and every time he heard how much effort the Wen family had put in, he would make sure the censors remembered it clearly and make it known to the world.
Even though the Wen family had a mermaid wife, no one looked at them strangely. Instead, they praised the Wen family as a family of great kindness.
Shi Li lived a leisurely life.
It is probably the only mermaid that does not need to shed pearls to the moon or go into the sea to weave silk.
Wen Rending's feelings towards her can be summed up in one word:
Love.
