The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 169 Live Signboard

Until the 28th year of the year, the owner of the cloth shop had to close the shop to prepare to go back to celebrate the new year, and there was a backlog of several bolts of cloth that could not be sold.

Now that the spring clothes are about to be changed, the shop needs to buy new products, and it is necessary to make room for it, so the boss reluctantly disposed of these cloths before the official opening.

Fang Qingqing knew that people at this moment attached great importance to the Chinese New Year, and the food shops were okay, as cloth villages usually didn't open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

So I just walked around the cloth shop, and I already roughly guessed what the boss is thinking.

But looking at so many people, they were all just watching the fun. The boss yelled for a long time and still didn't sell a single piece of cloth.

Fang Qingqing stepped forward and took a look. The pure cotton cloth felt good to the touch.

It’s just that I’m going to change into spring clothes after the next year, and it must be too thick to buy back now, so even if the price is half cheaper, no one will be tempted.

But Fang Qingqing remembered that there was still a batch of cotton in her space, so she could just buy these cloths and make cotton clothes and quilts or something?
Except for her husband, who is wearing a new quilt that looks thicker and warmer, everyone else, especially the parents-in-law and mother-in-law, have used the cotton cloth for many years.

The cotton wadding inside was probably already worn out. Although cotton was produced in the field last year, old man Li was reluctant to use it himself.

Let Li Dalang take out all of them for copper coins, and keep some for making new cotton clothes for Li Sanlang.

This is the heart of parents, including his brother and sister-in-law, they all treat him wholeheartedly.

And when Li Xiuping lived well, the system gave her more rewards so that she could exchange for more good things. Fang Qingqing was also happy and willing to treat the Li family better.

With a wave of Fang Qingqing's hand, she bought all the cotton cloths at a discount, and she could even take out some cotton cloth herself.

In this way, everyone in the family can get new quilts. Not only that, Fang Qingqing also advertised her shop when paying.

"Shopkeeper, my family has a shop that sells food, you can visit it when you have time."

Tell him that there is Li's noodle restaurant on the street near the county school.

It's opened today, you can see it when you go.

The shopkeeper was amused when he heard it, "Li's noodle shop? Is the young lady a family member of Master Juren?"

Fang Qingqing was startled, and suddenly realized that Li Xiuping was already a living sign of the noodle restaurant.

The youngest and the only Juren master in this county, that is his family's noodle shop, and this alone will attract people.

No wonder Fang Qingqing found out that the shop's business was better in the second half of the year than in the first half during the Chinese New Year's accounting, and her mother-in-law gave everyone more New Year's money than before when she was happy for the New Year.

Not only those children, but also Li Sanlang and her, and even her mother-in-law gave Fang Qingqing 30 taels of silver in private.

Originally, Fang Qingqing refused.

Although the shop has made some money, the expenses of buying a house and shop this year are also high, and the people with big houses and second-bedrooms are the main labor force of the shop, and they all share the money.

Fang Qingqing guessed, if she took the money, there probably wouldn't be much left in her mother-in-law's hands, right?

"After arriving in the capital, if you want to eat and buy something, how can you do it if you don't have money? Then take it."

Although Shi Shi still looked distressed, he wrapped the silver in a red envelope and stuffed it all into Fang Qingqing's hands.

He even turned his head to the side, trying to keep out of sight.

Sighing, he continued: "Sanlang insists on talking about the travel expenses of the government. He can also earn money by copying books. I don't know him yet? You guys are afraid that the family will have no money to spend, so you would rather save some money outside.

I didn't know it before, and it was Mrs. Liang and other wives who told me that Saburo is the master of juren.

In the future, if you want to be an official, you will definitely have to go out to socialize and drink with people.

These all need money, and I heard that they are not cheap.

My father and I don't have great skills, so we can't help much.

Qingqing, Saburo needs you to accompany him on the road ahead. "

The mother-in-law spoke so emotionally that Fang Qingqing felt a little sad when she heard it, so she accepted the money to make her feel at ease.

As a result, when Shi Shi faced Li Xiuping, his painting style changed:
"I heard that this man will turn bad, go to Qing|lou to drink flower wine and raise aunts and concubines. I can tell you, the son of our Li family, can't do these things.

Your father and I have nothing to do with you going to the capital, but if we hear that you have treated Qingqing badly and done something wrong to her, no matter how big an official you are, I will let your father break your leg! "

The sudden and severe reprimand frightened Li Xiuping, and he repeatedly promised that he would never do those things, not even go out to socialize and drink with his classmates.

It was just an episode, but Fang Qingqing was very grateful to her mother-in-law for her love, and the system really gave her a reward of [-] points.

Therefore, she always wanted to do something to repay her mother-in-law.

When Fang Qingqing went back, Shi Shi was really shocked when she saw the things she was wrapping.

I heard the third daughter-in-law said that she bought a lot, and some cloth shop owners would send them over later to buy new cotton clothes and quilts for the family.

First of all, Mrs. Shi wanted to refuse.

"Mom, don't shirk it. Anyway, I bought everything, don't worry, the special price is not expensive at all."

These cloths didn't look like new either, Fang Qingqing knew in her heart that she would prepare something else for Li Xiaomei's makeup when she got married.

The so much cotton cloth that she bought this time plus the cotton that she took out to make up for it was for the family.

The days really flew by so fast, even if Li Xiuping deliberately stayed at home for a few more days, he would go out after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as originally planned.

It was abruptly postponed until the end of the first month and almost February before preparing to leave, but because of the extra few days, it made the Li family even more anxious.

After all, if you are going to the capital city, it is not as good as going to the provincial capital. You don't know how much you need to prepare for the salute.

In the past, Saburo often came back to study in the government school, and Fang Qingqing went to accompany him in the exam, and it didn't take a month to come and go.

Going to the capital is different. This trip is a long way away, and I don't know when I will be able to return.

Moreover, there is no way for someone to send a message back, and the family can only wait for the news.

Leaving aside the sorrows of the people in Lao Li's house, Fang Qingqing went back to Hongqiao Village alone, mainly to meet old man Fang and Mrs. Liu.

In addition, I have to explain some things to Mrs. Fang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Fang, and the family's business has gradually started, saving some money.

Are you also thinking about how many children you want to send to school?
Even if he can't go to the county now, there is still a private school in the town, and that's where Li Sanlang studied.

Fang Qingqing wanted to mention something to her parents, but of course, she was just giving advice.

It's the people from the old Fang's family who really make the decision, and it's not necessarily a good thing for her to say too much.

In the end, she returned to the old Fang's house. Before she could sit down and take a sip of water after entering the door, the third sister-in-law told Fang Qingqing a piece of news that she didn't know where to start.
