Chapter 954 - 955
But as soon as Yang Chuxia thought about what he just said, about how she should remember to cry and cry louder when being spanked, and also make her laugh, she couldn’t help but think it was asking too much, right? Crying while making someone laugh, what kind of parents could do that?
She couldn’t take it anymore, she started laughing again just thinking about it.
"Is it really that funny?"
"Very funny!" Yang Chuxia nodded seriously.
"Hehe"
Seeing her laugh so cheerfully, Ye Zi’an couldn’t help but laugh as well.
Shaking his head, he stood up to get a set of clothes from the wardrobe, "It’s noon, get up for lunch."
"Are you going to dress me?" Yang Chuxia asked when she saw him holding the clothes open.
"Certainly! My lady, please get up!"
Looking at his beaming smile, it seemed that dressing his lady was the happiest thing for him.
When Ye Zi’an dressed her, it was always done with decorum, rarely straying from the rules, extremely proper.
Once she was dressed, he had someone bring water for her to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then he helped her comb her hair. It was hot, so he didn’t apply makeup as she was prone to sweat.
"My lady, wear those butterfly hairpins today, and the matching necklace."
It was a pair of hairpins with lake blue gemstone butterflies that seemed as if they were about to fly away; when placed in her hair, they looked like butterflies kissing her hair.
This was something Ye Zi’an brought back from the Capital City; it seemed he had formed a habit of always bringing back some jewelry for Yang Chuxia, be it exquisite or valuable, made of jade or gold and silver, and occasionally wooden, encompassing red sandalwood, rosewood, bloodwood, even ivory. Her jewelry box was full of various pieces, many of which he had brought back from his travels. Yang Chuxia noticed that the silver he took with him on his trips was mostly spent on these items.
"Does it look good?"
"Of course it looks good, we’ll wear the pink pair tomorrow." Ye Zi’an put the butterfly necklace on her and then looked at her in the mirror, his lady was indeed very beautiful.
"Did you buy every color available in the store?"
"Hmm, a total of seven colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. I was initially going to buy two colors, but the shopkeeper said they weren’t sold separately, so if I wanted them, I had to buy the whole set, so I just bought them all." Yang Chuxia looked again at the box of seven colored butterfly hairpins, each matched with a necklace of the same color, along with a pair of small butterfly gemstone earrings, a bracelet, and an anklet.
Suddenly, she realized a serious problem: how much did all this cost? Judging by the fine gemstones, the quality was definitely not inferior, so one single-colored set would cost several hundred taels even in Quanya, let alone in a place like the Capital City?
"How much did all this cost? Did you have enough silver with you to buy these?"
"Ha, are you auditing my account, my lady?" Ye Zi’an chuckled, "Don’t worry, I absolutely don’t have any secret funds. When I first arrived at the Capital City, my uncle and cousin, for some reason, each gave me three thousand taels. I was planning not to accept it at first, and I intended to give it back to them before leaving. But then, just before leaving, I saw these and didn’t have enough money, so I thought I’d use it first and then cover it by pawning the pearls when I got back."
"But as you know, my lady, the pearls were later given to my cousin, so I never returned the silver."
"So how much did you spend on this set?" Yang Chuxia’s heart quivered as she asked, not enough money of his own? She remembered giving him more than ten thousand taels when he went to Capital City, didn’t she?
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an spread his hands, "Not much, just over ten thousand!"
"How much more?"
