Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 52 (52) The little lady descends when she sees the slope
Ji Cheng nodded, then turned to the young lady, and said, "Which one do you like more? Buy it for your wife for your husband!"

"It's gone..." Xia Ou's small eyes glanced at the boxes of silk and satin.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "My lady, it's time to add new clothes. Look at these brocades, what do you like?"

"Little lotus root doesn't like brocade, but cotton cloth, which is strong and durable!"

Hearing that the admiral wanted to buy it for herself, Xia Ou happily touched the corners of her lips, putting joy on her little face, but she didn't say so.

"Women are the ones who please themselves, and the husband likes to see his wife's clothes." Ji Cheng walked up the steps with a wink.

Seeing the slope, Xia Ou came down, with a shy face, and said, "In this case, I can only rely on my husband... let's take the moon-white one, Xiaoou and my husband can make clothes to wear."

"How much is Steward Chi?" Ji Cheng asked.

Steward Chi thought about quoting a conscientious price, and said, "Let's charge a cost price, one tael of silver per horse!"

Ji Cheng bowed to the steward Chi, and said, "Then trouble the steward, send the ten brocades of moon white, lilac, frost color, cyan blue, snow green, water green, rose red, madder red, begonia red, water red, and the next The two bolts of yarn that we have moved out, we want them all.”

"Okay, guys, move these out." Steward Chi's eyes lit up excitedly.

Unexpectedly, he was still a big patron.

"What else do you like, lady? After a while, your housekeeper grandfather will leave, and you can't even buy it if you want to." Ji Cheng joked.

Immediately afterwards, he clung to the little lady's ear from an angle where no one was around, and said in a low voice, "You can't buy five or two pieces of this material outside!"

The little lady is a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, so she will buy it as soon as she hears it, but unexpectedly this time, she declined it.

"Ten horses are enough to wear for several years, and it's not easy to keep them for a long time." Because of being too close to him, Xia Ou's cheeks were hot, and she tightened her small handkerchief.

When she was buying cotton cloth, she heard the price of silk and satin one ear, and she probably knew it in her heart.

In fact, she still has a lot to like, but she was a little worried about the admiral's purse, so she tried to ask, "I have clothes, do I want to add some jewelry?"

"As long as the lady likes it!" Ji Chen smiled. Fortunately, he had touched Qinghe Hou's bank note before, otherwise the money would not be enough this time.

Xia Ou didn't dare to choose those precious heads of gold and jade, and rushed to look at the cheap ones like silk flowers and pearl flowers.

The eyes carefully scanned the silk flowers, which are different from the modern mass production. The petals are butterfly shells, and the stamens are pearls. They are all handmade, layered on top of each other, which is more beautiful than real flowers.

There are riches and honors, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, water apricot and lotus tea, ginseng flowers, persimmons, peaches, lychees... There are not only hundreds of flowers, but also hundreds of fruits, which are not exquisite.

"so beautiful!"

"Little lady has good eyesight. These are the handicrafts of the embroiderers in the south. We in the north can't do it."

Seeing Xia Ou's small gesture of caring for the family, Chi Steward only sighed that the child of the poor has long been the head of the family.

Obviously only fourteen or fifteen years old, the same age as the sixth young master of his family, but he is always considerate of others, and will not be arrogant.

If the young lady and the sixth young master of their family could be as sensible as this little lady, they wouldn't cause the master and wife to burn their heads.

Ji Cheng left all the pearls of hundreds of flowers and fruits to the little lady. As for those golden and jade heads, he saw that her eyes lit up, so he asked Xia Ou to choose two sets.

Xia Ou was moved, she kept a set of sapphire and crystal, and picked some white deer paper.

Most of this paper is exclusively for imperial use, and a small part is sold in "Chi Ji", but it is expensive.

It is expensive, and there is a reason for it. The paper is white and embellished like jade, the surface is smooth like silk, and it is soft to absorb ink.

The most important thing is that there are deer patterns hidden in the background color, which symbolizes auspiciousness and blessings. It is loved by the world's dignitaries and nobles. lost that decency.

In the corner of the box, there is also a plate of gilt ink, shining with a stream of light, which is very expensive at first glance.

Lord Admiral's slender white fingers must be very nice to hold and grind.

She also picked out a set of Zihao that came next to her, which was made of tough mountain hare fur.

Although I don't quite understand it, I can tell that it is worth a lot...

　Sapphire of the same quality is not as expensive as white jade, and so are ordinary crystals.

　　Therefore, the small lotus root chose the affordable one, which saved a lot of money for Mr. Tidu.
