Chapter 46 Buying Clothes

On the same day, Jiang Xinyi and Baiji really came back with a donkey.

Fortunately, it was getting dark and not many people noticed. Jiang Xinyi was very proud of sitting on the little donkey. The donkey was not as fast as a horse, but faster than a cow. It was light and convenient, very suitable for children and women.

In ancient times, many poets liked to ride donkeys. Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Li He all had donkeys. Now she has a donkey herself, and Jiang Xinyi is gone!
This donkey is not considered strong, and it only cost ten taels. If you want to buy a horse, you can't get away with a hundred taels.But Bletilla striata also said that this donkey has good teeth and straight bones, and it will grow stronger in the future. Li Changhu also said that Bletilla striata has good eyesight.

This is the first time for the Jiang family to buy a donkey!Everyone was very excited to see the donkey, especially the men in the family.

"Sister, I'll take care of you from now on!" Jiang Dami was the first to speak.

"I will too! I want to too!" Jiang Daou jumped up.

The two were so excited that they wanted to yell, but they calmed down after being hit on the head by Grandma Jiang. The Jiang family can't be too high-profile now.

"Okay, how to take care of it, you can ask Bai Ji." Jiang Xinyi patted the donkey's back with satisfaction.

"Give me some fodder and water, and build a shed." After Baiji returned home, her words became less and less.

"Tomorrow I'll build a shed," Jiang Lao Er said.

Boss Jiang wanted to say that it was fine for him to come, but when he encountered his own mother's knife, he suddenly dared not speak.

"Let's eat first!" Mrs. Lin came to call someone, but everyone still stuck to the donkey and looked around.

"Don't look, I can't run away, just tie it to a tree and do well." Grandma Jiang said to chase people away,
A group of men went to eat reluctantly, and the dinner seemed to be tasteless to donkeys. After eating in two or three bites, they all squeezed over to wipe, brush, and feed the donkeys.

"Big girl, bake a few more pancakes and put them at home tomorrow to save your mother from having to cook, and your mother has to go to the fields tomorrow. Since I bought a donkey, I will go to the town to sell vegetables and cakes every day, so I can save my money as soon as possible." .”

The big girl quickly agreed.

Lin also nodded when she heard her mother-in-law's arrangement.

She can't cook well and doesn't want to cook!She would rather go to the fields and spend energy, and cooked three meals today, and no one would like to eat them, she knew it herself.

"Grandma! I'm going to the town tomorrow!" Jiang Xinyi didn't eat a few mouthfuls, she was too speechless about the rice cooked by her mother, but luckily she ate wontons in the town.

"What are you doing and going again?"

"Grandma, the day after tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have received so many gifts from Dong's house, so we have to pay back the ceremony, right?"

"I don't have anything good to offer at home, I'm afraid I'll offend someone if I give it away."

"Grandma, I'll go to the town to have a look, we don't give away expensive ones, we choose exquisite ones, anyway, there is no shortage of expensive Dongfu."

"Go! Go! When I don't know, you won't be able to stay if you have a donkey. You will go with the big girl tomorrow, and I won't go."

"Bai Ji will come with me too, it won't work if it's just us two girls."

Grandma Jiang didn't speak, and went to the side of the kitchen to cut shallots.

The three of them went to the town, tied the donkey and the cart to the gate of the rice store, Jiang Da Niu went to sell green onion pancakes, and Jiang Xinyi went to the gouache shop opposite to buy a piece of soap, which was very expensive!A small piece of soap is less than the size of an orange, and it costs five hundred Wen!

But with money, Jiang Xinyi didn't worry about buying things at all. For the sake of Miss Jiang and her beauty career, she gritted her teeth and bought them.

The last time I bought a donkey, I spent ten taels, and I only spent three taels to cheat Grandma, and I spent another hundred taels to go to the yamen to get a deed, and I spent twenty taels to buy pastries for the little ones and Song Ahong, and she still had eighty taels on her body. Two too!
But after wandering around the town for a long time, Jiang Xinyi, who wanted to buy a lot, was disappointed. The desserts in the town are very poor, and I really can't give them away. As for jewelry?Don't think about not having that money, and the Dong Mansion is not short of it.

After the incident with the dragon and phoenix porridge last time and the succulent feather dish before, Jiang Xinyi realized that Mrs. Dong is a picky eater!
Any loss of appetite is caused by years of habit, and a lifetime of rich clothes and good food, so the more you eat, the more boring you become.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xinyi decided to make desserts by herself, no, let Miss Jiang make desserts, anyway, Miss Jiang is getting better and better under her training.

Jiang Xinyi simply took the bletilla striata around to the grocery store, picked out six white porcelain cups, and went back to the grain store to find his brother-in-law to buy sugar, red beans, almond flour, and white flour for scallion pancakes.

Those six white porcelain cups cost [-] Wen. As for the glazed cups, there is no white sugar in the town at all, only brown sugar. Seeing the brown sugar, Jiang Xinyi was almost depressed, so he had to comfort himself that the moon was yellowish too. , the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony is matched with the moonlight.

Then I bought a beautiful wooden carrying case, just big enough to hold the six white porcelain cups, and this time the mission was completed.

First he sent the things to his uncle's shop, then Jiang Xinyi went to the cloth shop and tore a foot of fine cotton cloth, and then cut a square of lotus-patterned vermillion satin to put on the bottom of the box.

Before leaving, Jiang Xinyi saw the bletilla striata waiting outside, went back and asked the proprietress:
"Miss Boss, like that kid outside, do you have any suitable clothes?"

"Yes, yes, why don't you let the young master come in and measure the size to be more accurate."

Jiang Xinyi went out and let Baiji in. Baiji was a little surprised when he heard that he was going to buy clothes for him.

"I don't need it, I'll buy yours." In fact, he was wearing Jiangdami's old clothes, which were too short, but Bai Ji didn't care about it.

"Then let's buy them all!"

"Do you like shopping for clothes?"

"I like it!" Which girl doesn't like to buy clothes?She also loves to buy bags!Love shopping for shoes!Buy jewelry!

"Then buy it." Baiji nodded.

Jiang Xinyi chose two round-neck short robes for Baiji, black leggings pants, added a jacket, and a pair of short boots, and asked Baiji to change all the old clothes on her body. She had seen it earlier. Baiji's tattered clothes are not pleasing to the eye.

After Baiji changed her clothes and tied her headband high again, she immediately became more energetic, she really looked like a son of a noble family.

Jiang Xinyi admired his eyesight, but Bai Ji was a little embarrassed. After changing his clothes, he ran out to wait at the door, and only told Jiang Xinyi not to forget to choose clothes for himself.

Jiang Xinyi picked out an off-white skirt embroidered with a small group of chrysanthemums, and a dark green straight collar blouse for herself. The proprietress also gave her a matching maroon belt, and Jiang Xinyi also picked a simple dark blue one for Jiang Da Niu. Although the beige is simple in style, the collar and piping are made of willow green embroidery thread, and a circle of flower vines is embroidered, which is very generous.

Both of their sisters have dark skin now, and there are not many choices, so Jiang Xinyi is unwilling to buy more, so he spent another couple of dollars on these.

Shopping for clothes is a happy mood. Although there are few choices and colors, Jiang Xinyi happily let the proprietress cover them all.

Jiang Xinyi was holding the clothes, and Baiji was carrying the groceries. When the two went to find Jiang Da Niu, Jiang Da Niu had already put away the stall, and there was a veil that Lin sewed for her on her face.

Through the veil, you can still see that Jiang Da Niu has a lot of acne scars on her face, but before going out in the morning, Jiang Xinyi specially combed her hair very neatly, combing all the hair on the side of her face with a comb go back.

In the past, Miss Jiang was afraid of being seen by others, so she always kept secrets, so she was not photogenic, but now this dress highlights her big black eyes, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

"Let's go back! Big sister, I bought you clothes and soap balls!"

Miss Jiang was so frightened that she quickly covered Jiang Xinyi's mouth. Seeing that no one heard Jiang Xinyi's words, she lowered her voice and said eagerly: "Hurry up and return it! How can you afford such a precious thing! You want to swallow gold ?"

Jiang Xinyi was speechless, it was impossible for Jiang Da Niu to change her timid temper, she broke the elder sister's hand forcefully, and said:
"These things used on the body can't be refunded. Swallowing gold will kill you. Eldest sister, don't worry, I have my own plan."
