Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 19 Buying Cloth
This cloth store is called Sun Ji Cloth Store, and it has all kinds of fabrics in it. The fabrics for making clothes for the servants in the mansion are ordered from here.Mrs. Sun didn't know about this, but after entering the cloth shop, the shopkeeper inside guessed it by looking at the clothes on Qiuyun and the others.He didn't say anything, and gave a real price when they asked for the price.Aunt Sun saw that there were also floral cloths sold in the stalls outside, and they were also available in all colors, so she asked. When she heard that they were cheaper than outside, she picked two colors and two bolts of cloth worn by old people.

"Cousin, is this color for my cousin's husband?" Sun asked in confusion, almost saying that this color is too old-fashioned.

"Why, I'm thinking that next year when I go back to the countryside to visit the grave, I can bring a few pieces of fashionable materials to give to others. This suit suits the old man well, and it can be given as a gift."

"Next year Qingming..."

The Sun family almost forgot about it. Cheng Dashan had no relatives in the countryside. She was a married woman, and her father died and was buried in the family cemetery.The patriarch of the Sun clan is a good person. Every year during the Qingming and Winter Solstice, he organizes people to clean up the cemeteries of the descendants. Grandfather is considered a descendant without a son.In the past, she would go there to sacrifice during the Qingming and Winter Solstice, and she would also give a gift to the patriarch during the New Year.

It's not good for the old man's cemetery to be left unattended. She discussed with Cheng Dashan whether to move the tomb of Cheng's parents and mother, but Cheng Dashan didn't agree.She listened to Cheng Dashan and wanted to build a village in her hometown in the future, and when her son was successful, he would resign and return to his hometown as a landlord.In contrast, Uncle Li and Aunt Li have many relatives in their family.

"Your Uncle Li is the only seedling in your family, but you still have a few aunts. When you are young, you often walk around. If you go back, you have to visit them." Aunt Li said, her family also had a group of sisters and a younger brother. The sisters are not close to their natal families, they work desperately at home, and when they are old, they marry to a family that can afford a bride price. How many such families are willing to treat their wives well.

Aunt Li is still a good marriage, but Uncle Li and Aunt Li got it right first, and Aunt Li has a good idea, so the marriage was made.When she got married, she had a bit of a fight with her natal family. The natal family who refused to pay the dowry was not as good as her natal neighbors, Sun's parents. At least her grandma gave her a pair of silver earrings when she got married. Only a few empty rattan boxes were given to her.

Fortunately, Uncle Li is a real person. Although the mother-in-law was quite critical, she saw that she was diligent and manly, so she didn't say anything later.A few years ago, when she was at a bad age, her parents passed away one after another. Her younger brother, who was useless, got into a fight and was imprisoned.There is no one in her natal family, and there is no place for her mother and sisters to get together. She knows that the lives of the few sisters are difficult, but there is no way.They are all daughters-in-law of other people's families, and she can manage them for a while and for a lifetime.

Mrs. Sun has heard about Aunt Li's family. She met one of Aunt Li's older sisters when she went to slaughter pigs in a neighboring village.At that time, Mrs. Sun was busy and didn't have time to inquire. A few days later, when she remembered, the cousin heard that she was beaten to death. Not long after, the cousin's husband married a new wife. widow.

When Mrs. Sun talked about this with Aunt Li before, Aunt Li always said that her sister had a hard life, and she was obedient at home and never dared to talk back, and it was the same at her husband's house.She also said that among the sisters in her natal family, her temper was the biggest, but her life was the smoothest. It can be seen that a woman's good temper is not necessarily a good thing.Mrs. Sun thought it was true, and she never restrained her temper even after the children had been born.

After choosing the cloth, everyone went to the silver building again. This time Aunt Li really just checked and didn't buy anything, not even Mrs. Sun.She had already sneaked into the storeroom to look at it last night. There were quite a few jewel heads inside, enough for her to wear, so why spend money on these.Yinhua really wanted to buy it, but as soon as she heard that she wanted to buy it, she would buy it with her own monthly silver, so she kept quiet.She also wants to save a little more money and buy a more expensive Bu Yao.

The customers who were originally picking out saw them leave without buying anything, and cast a contemptuous look at them, just as Mrs. Sun saw them when she turned her head, and stared back in displeasure.The man froze for a moment, but there was no response.

When he got outside, Qin Sancai whispered: "That lady lives on our street, a few houses away from us, and she is the new wife of a fifth-rank military officer, Mr. Su."

"New lady?"

"Yes, Mr. Su divorced his wife as soon as he became an official, and married a new wife from a humble civil official family."

"Who is this!" Mrs. Sun regretted that she didn't stare harder just now to let the woman know that her original partner is not so easy to mess with.

"Who says it's not. There are not many people in the world who are as real as our general." Qin San said good things to Cheng Dashan in a timely manner.

I have to say that Sun's words are quite useful. Although her man is a bastard, his nature is still good, and his father was right.

They also went shopping in Chang'an City and bought things. As soon as Uncle Li and Aunt Li returned home, they mentioned to Mrs. Sun about going to Zhuangzi.They really couldn't stay in the mansion, they were not allowed to do anything, they were being waited on by others, the two of them lived in such a big yard, the entire house of the Li Chang's house was not as big as this yard.The room was burning hot every day, and they didn't know how much it would cost. The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, so they resigned and went to work in the Zhuangzi mentioned earlier when the matter at hand was over.Even if there is not much work in winter, staying outside is more reassuring than living in the mansion and being a master.

Mrs. Sun also knew that the two couldn't stay still, so she called the senior executives and asked about buying Zhuangzi.

"Zhuangzi has asked someone to ask, and there will be news in a few days. At that time, Madam, do you want to send someone to look?"

"Cousin-in-law, why don't I trouble you to take a look." She really didn't understand the ground.

Uncle Li nodded again and again, and immediately asked worriedly: "Why don't you send someone else, I haven't bought land before, so I don't know how the price is suitable."

"Master Biao, don't worry, Ma Liu, the head of Chengxiao Farm, will accompany you to visit her. He knows the price of the land in Daqing Mansion."

"That's good." Uncle Li nodded reassuringly.

A day later, the senior executive asked Uncle Li to prepare to go out.Uncle Li went to Daqing Mansion together with Ma Zhuangtou and a boy, and three days later came the news that he had bought two good Zhuangzi.Uncle Li and Ma Zhuangtou chatted very speculatively along the way, and they had already started calling each other brothers when they returned to Chang'an.Uncle Li has always been generous. When the whole village disliked Cheng Hunzi, he was still willing to help Cheng Dashan from time to time, which showed his character.

As soon as Uncle Li came back and explained the matter to Mrs. Sun, he went to Aunt Li.Aunt Li has not been idle for the past few days. Seeing that everyone is busy doing needlework, she also helps out.When Uncle Li came into the house, she was sewing clothes, and all the servants who waited on him stayed in the house, and when Uncle Li came back, they fetched water and tea for him.Uncle Li held tea comfortably, and told his wife about the Zhuangzi he had seen in the past two days.

"That land is really nice, all of which are high-quality fields. The place is also big, bigger than our village. I estimate that there will be a lot of harvest every year, and the people in this mansion alone can afford to eat dry rice every day."

Aunt Li laughed when she heard that, "You think it's still in the countryside, and everyone eats porridge."

Uncle Li also laughed, and said: "A few years ago, I drank gruel for half a year, and my legs were soft every day. It's not like this."

"At that time, I didn't know that there would be a day like today."

"Who says it's not." Uncle Li said as he stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Maybe our child will come back in a few years."

Aunt Li froze for a moment, nodded with red eyes.Her child is a filial son, if he was alive, he should have come back long ago. After all these years, he has gone out to do business and has not heard from him. She knew that something had happened.At this age, she didn't even have a child, so it would be a lie if she was not in a hurry.When the Cheng family was not good, she still thought that she had watched these three girls grow up, and it would be great if she could recognize one of them as a daughter, but now she naturally has no such idea.However, when she was buying and selling servants a few days ago, she had another idea. If she had the opportunity to buy a young boy to raise her as a son, it would be good. I don't know if Uncle Li would be willing.
