The latest website: "Accept, definitely accept, my prices here have always been fair, and I never deceive customers. Madam can go out to inquire, we often go in and out of major officials' mansions, but don't dare to make random quotations." Touching, these two horses are good cloth, and it is best to sell them in the back house of the powerful family.

She saw a lot of such officials and eunuchs, and used the good things in the house to replace them to subsidize the family. After all, it is not easy to live in Dong'an City, and not all officials and eunuchs can eat well.

An unloved petty official can't support a large family with just his salary.

"How much money does the shopkeeper plan to collect?"

"Madam also knows that the buying price of something is not the same as the selling price. I must make money when I open the door to do business."

Pei Xiu smiled and expressed understanding, "I understand this, it's business talk."

"To tell you the truth, I can get these two pieces of cloth at 80% of the price of brocade on the market. Fifty taels, can you take a look?" The shopkeeper looked at Pei Xiu with a smile.

In the north, winter starts early, and after another month or so, the palace of Liaodong will hold a feast for plum appreciation, which is a practice in previous years. Before long, the officials and eunuchs in the city will be buying clothes and accessories for the women's relatives in the house. The officials and wives in the city have a pair of sharp eyes, and she does not worry about selling good things.

The two brocades on the market are probably in the early 60s, but they can't stand the color of these two. If she sells her house later, she will definitely be able to sell it for more than 80 taels. There is no shortage of rich people in Dong'an City, and it is just in time for the plum banquet.

At that time, the grandmother of the Wangfu also felt sorry for the county owner Xuexi, and was really grateful to the Zhou family, so the fabrics picked out from the warehouse were all the best for the princess to see.

There can be no bad things in the palace, let alone to reward the benefactor of Xuexi County's savior.

Pei Xiu's face remained calm, frowning and thinking, but she was overjoyed. I didn't expect these two brocades to be so valuable, and there are several at home, as well as silk.

Seeing Pei Xiu, the shopkeeper frowned lightly and said nothing, thinking that she might be the wife of a small official's family. She also wanted to make this purchase. After all, she could make a lot of money by selling it.

"Ma'am, I have already paid the highest price for brocade, and there are not many shops in Dong'an that offer this price."

The shopkeeper continued his efforts and said: "Look at this, don't you still want to buy some fabrics for servants? You choose first, and I will give you 10% off the original price when the time comes.

You can see it? This is something only our old customers can enjoy. We do business without any deceit. You can rest assured that we will not arbitrarily price. "

Seeing that the shopkeeper also gave in again and again, Pei Xiu was also very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the shopkeeper first. Just show me some kinds of fabrics, both men and women."

"Okay, Madam is also a simple person." The shopkeeper made a deal and was happy, and sent the girl to the warehouse to carry the fabric.

An hour has passed since Pei Xiu came out of the cloth village.

She bought ten pieces of fabric and 100 catties of cotton, and spent about 13 taels of silver. After 10% off the cotton, it costs 65 cents a pound. The price ratio is much more expensive than Canghe County.

With so many more things and thirty-seven taels, Pei Xiu was very satisfied. There were too many things to bring back, so she asked the shopkeeper to send someone to the house, and she agreed.

After coming out for so long, she was thinking about the child, and she didn't know if she was awake.

He asked Ding Bo to drive back quickly. He originally wanted to go shopping, but he had to wait for the next time, when he came to Japan.

When she got home, she saw Sister Li coaxing her daughter with a rattle, and she felt relieved. It was good that she didn't cry.

"Madam is back." Sister Li bowed respectfully.

"Is the girl good? Are you crying and wanting to drink milk when you wake up?" She touched her kicked feet, as if knowing that her mother was back, she waved her two little hands and kicked her little feet with excitement.

Pei Xiu unconsciously showed a gentle smile.

"Madam Hui, the girl didn't cry, she just lay down and played when she woke up."

"Well, I bought a lot of fabrics and cotton. There is no embroiderer in the house. I would like to ask Sister Li to help you sew some quilts and cotton coats with Sister Jiang in your spare time. After the winter, each of you will need to buy more in the house."

"Okay, Madam, I'll go to Sister Jiang now and tell her."

Although there are few people in the house now, each of them is allocated a room, and the quilts they need are calculated on a per capita basis, and they need to hurry up and make them.

Finally I know why the big family raises so many servants. After reaching a certain status, there are more needs, each with its own use.

Clothes in the house all year round also need to be made in a hurry. She also lacked a maid who could accompany her when she went out, but conditions did not allow her, and Auntie Li was enough.

After the cloth and cotton were delivered, Sister Jiang and Sister Li stayed in her courtyard all afternoon to sew clothes and bedding. It wasn't until after Shen Shi that Sister Jiang went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

With bags of cotton piled up in the yard, and pieces of cloth that had been cut, Zhou Cheng was stunned when he came back, thinking that he had gone to the wrong yard.

In surprise, she asked Mrs. Li, who was working, "Where's Madam? Why did you buy so much fabric and cotton?"

Sister-in-law Li put down the work at hand, got up and saluted, "Go back to the master, the madam is playing with the girl in the house. These are all bought by the madam today."

"Well." Knowing that she was in the room, he went in and asked her if she was okay.

Pei Xiu was sitting beside the bed coaxing the child to play, when she heard the door open, she turned her head to look, and said to the child, "Your father is back."

"How long have you been awake, it's rare that she hasn't slept since she came back these two days." Zhou Cheng couldn't help showing a gentle side to his wife and daughter, and his voice was much softer.

"I just woke up for a while, I won't fall asleep so quickly now, just hug me for a while if you want."

Zhou Cheng couldn't get what he wanted, and usually he was blocked when he wanted to hug him. Today, he was rarely allowed to hug him.

He picked up the child and coaxed, remembering the mess of cloth cotton he saw in the yard, and asked.

"It's getting cold and autumn now, and it won't be long before it turns cold. The servants in the family have just bought them, and they have two thin clothes all over their bodies. When it's cold, they can't get out of the house. Fortunately, I thought about it today. If so, prepare it in advance to save you from freezing and catching a cold.”

Indeed, it is now the end of September, and the weather in the north is very cold. He didn't think of this when he was busy. After paying attention, he found that she was also wearing last year's clothes, "Well, it's time to prepare in advance. You should also add two winter clothes."

Seeing him staring at her, Pei Xiu also looked down, and there was nothing wrong with her. The family is not well-off, and she doesn't go out, so she can save as much as she can.

"I have nothing to do at home and make clothes? I have made enough clothes in the past two years. You should buy new ones. After all, I have been walking outside, and there must be a few good clothes to support the facade."
