When Xue saw that the fabrics that the guy took out were pretty good, they were not as fresh as new. But as the guy said, the peasant family was dressed very well. After asking the price, it was only half of the new cloth. This made Xue beautiful. After calculating, she bought two whole pieces of cloth, and then bought some fragments of rulers, which could probably be a set of clothes for each piece.

When the guy saw it, he knew that this was the one who lived together, so he bought so many cloths. Since people bought a lot of them, they naturally had to give some discounts. So when calculating the money, he put a fraction of them. Now Xue was even happier. He bought some cotton and asked the guy to tie them all up, so it was easy to get them back.

The guy suddenly remembered that there were still a few pieces of cloth that were a little faded due to poor storage, so he asked Xue, "Sister-in-law, you have to use the inner part to make cotton coats. I have a few pieces of cloth, but it hasn't been put in well and it's a little faded. See if it's cheaper." As he said that, he went back to carry a few pieces of cloth. It must have been raining, and the ones on the cloth surface had lost their color. "Sister-in-law, this cloth is cheaper, only six cents per foot, you can see if this can be used for the inner part?"

Xue didn't expect that when he came here today, he encountered such a good thing. The cloth was just a color, but there was no problem with it. Six pennies per foot, and one piece of cloth was only 180 pennies. This is really cheap. "Brother, how many of these cloths do you have in total? I want to buy more. Where are the merchants so many things to pay attention to?"

The shelves thought for a while and said, "There are about ten horses in total, and there are all colors. Otherwise, I will take them out and my sister-in-law will pick them up." As she said that, she went back and carried out all the cloths. There were twelve horses in total, all of which were rained to varying degrees, so they faded.

Xue looked at this and looked at that one. She couldn't bear to let go of any one. Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to ask for all of them. "Brother, I've asked for all of you. Can you see if you can get a little cheaper?"

When the guy heard this, he could lose some of these things without disposing of them. After calculating, the twelve pieces of cloth was 2,160 cents in total. The guy took the initiative and wiped out the 160 questions, so it would be two taels of silver.

When Xue saw that the cloth had only used two taels of silver, she thought it was quite appropriate, so she took out the money and handed it to the client. Then her mother and mother came out of the shop with a larger piece of cloth. Before leaving, the client also said that they would deal with old cloth several times a year, saying that they would ask Xue to come here in the future. Xue nodded and agreed.

The two of them staggered and walked home with a larger object. On the way, they met people from the village and drove back to the village with their ox carts. When they arrived home, the two of them took off all the cloths and thanked the man. "Uncle Wu, thank you. If it weren't for you, we women wouldn't know when we would be back today."

The man waved his hand, drove the ox cart and left.

Xue's mother and daughter entered the yard, and Chen happened to be fiddling with the steamed plants outside. When Chen saw the two of them, he smiled. "Oh, why are you two moving the cloth shop back? Look, why do you buy so many? How much does it cost?" As he said that, he came over to help move the cloth into the house.

"Mom, these cloths really cost much today. They are some aged cloths. In addition, those are faded by rain and are very cheap. I thought that our farmers don't have to be too particular. They can wear them, so I bought them all and kept them for the clothes inside." Xue explained to Chen, and his hands were not idle, so he showed Chen the cloths.

My mother and I looked at the cloth here, and Jingya happened to come over, so she opened the ones that were rained. She actually found that there were actually a few layers of flowers on the outside, and the inside was quite good. "Mom, there is nothing wrong with these cloths. Oh, you are picking up good things now."

When Xue and Chen saw that it was not a big deal. Although the inside had faded colors, they were just stark and did not delay wearing. This was a mistake. Several people quickly opened all the cloths, some were lighter and some were heavy, but they basically did not delay wearing inside. The outside could also be used as the inside of the clothes, which saved a lot of money.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong these days, so we girls quickly make cotton coats first. I think this cloth is enough, so it's better for each person to wear two bodies, one thin and one thick. It's just winter, and it's not too cold, so thick that it can't be worn." Chen quickly planned to get up.

Xue also agreed, "It just so happened that Jingya and Huixin's needlework are good, so let's do it together and it will be done in just two days. Do it early so that it will save you from being cold or not." The weather is not guaranteed, and it may snow one day.

After making the clothes, Xue left some of the cloth for the old lady, and took the rest back to her house. Chen did not leave it, saying that they were there, but Xue kept it for her. "Mom, the children's clothes fee can be used for them. Leave these good things, you, your father, Zhixiang and Huixin, you can make a few of them. This year our family has a good harvest, so it's time to change some new clothes."

After hearing this, the old lady agreed to leave the cloth. It was already noon and she hurriedly went to cook. The old man went out to visit the house today and it was time to come back later. My mother and the others took action together, and the food was ready in a short while.

In the evening, Zhixin rushed back from the county town. When Chen saw his son coming back, he felt relieved. Before Chen could ask anything, Zhixin said first, "Mom, the price of this year's sticks is good. The third shopkeeper gave us two and a half taels of silver per pound, a total of forty kilograms, and sold 100 taels of silver. Look, they are all here." As he said that, Zhixin took out twenty ingots of silver from the bag he carried with him, all of which were five ounces of ingots. "The shopkeeper also said that our sticks are big and have good color, and we have enough dryness, so we will have our family's sticks next year." Zhixin smiled and told his family the good news.

At this time, a pound of dry sticks is usually sold for one and a half taels, or a little up. Unexpectedly, it can be sold for two and a half taels this time. This is nearly forty taels of silver more than usual. In the farmhouse, forty taels of silver may do a lot of things. When Chen and the old man heard this, they all laughed, "Oh, this is great. I'm still worried this year. The fifth brother is going to take the imperial examination and even talk about his wife. Huixin should say he is kissing. This is the same, which one is not the big money that costs money? With this money, how can he be much more abundant. This time, I really lost to the third brother. If he hadn't thought about it, we would have to sell it to those vendors. How could he sell so much money?" Chen quickly put away all the money. The family rules, the money for selling sticks was from the public and must be handed over to Chen.

It was getting late, so Xue led his daughter to pack up all the food and everyone had dinner together. The old man was happy today, so he asked Wenxuan and Wenchang to buy some wine. The old man and Zhixin drank together and talked about the harvest.

Zhixiang went out to practice with his classmates again. He is now a juren, so he doesn't have to study in the academy again. One of Zhixiang's classmates, his father is a magistrate, and he worked in Changbaizhou. That classmate invited Zhixiang to go to Changbaizhou to see him and be a minor official in the magistrate's yamen, just treat it as a training. Otherwise, it would be useless to study hard every day. Zhixiang naturally agreed. This test requires a policy-based theory. If you don't understand any practical things, what can you write at that time?

The two of them chatted one by one, just talking about some things. After everyone finished their meal, the two of them stopped drinking and had some food. Even if they were done, Jingya and Jinghan tidied up the table, then brushed the bowl with the hot water in the pot and put it in the cupboard.

After all these things, there was no more work. The two sisters returned to the house. Jingya looked at Jinghan and said that when she was making clothes, she would help Yuxian make an outer coat so that she would not be too moved for a day and dirty her new cotton jacket. "I see those faded cloths, which are also good. When I pick a lighter color and embroider the faded area, I can't tell that it's faded. I'm not wearing the same clothes as the new ones?" Jingya's needlework is good, and she also loves to make clothes for others. Now that there are so many cloths at home, she feels itchy when she sees them and has to make something.

Jinghan leaned against his sister, "Sister, thank you. You have good skills and will definitely make a very good-looking one." Jinghan really doesn't have the patience to learn needlework. When he first came, he studied for a few days, and then he never learned it again.

Jingya smiled, "You are just lazy. I don't know what's wrong with you. You are more diligent than anyone else when you go up and down the river. But when you learn some needlework, you are more uncomfortable than sitting on the nailboard, and you can't sit still. There's nothing wrong this winter, so you can learn needlework with me, and you can't stop wearing clothes in the future, right?" Jingya also cared about her girl.

Jinghan thought about it and it was really time to learn some needlework, otherwise it would be a problem in the future. After all, when you come here, you have to abide by the rules here. "Okay, sister, I'll listen to you. I'll learn needlework from my sister this winter."

"You, just don't be as fresh as before, three days." Jingya saw Jinghan agreeing so happily, so she said a few words. "Okay, it's not too early. Let's go to bed, and I'll talk about anything tomorrow."

So the sisters laid the bedding, then Jingya went out to bring some hot water back. The sisters washed their feet and went to bed on the kang.
