Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 90 Discovering Lotus’s Talent

He Jiuniang left with Lianhua. Lianhua followed her politely all the way, never looking at the things around her. She was extremely well-behaved.

He Jiuniang liked this little girl from the bottom of her heart and couldn't help but say: "Lianhua, if you see anything you like, just tell me and aunt will buy it for you."

"No, no, no, I don't have what I want!"

Lianhua shook her head hastily, fearing that He Jiuniang would really buy her something, and she really couldn't afford such good things.

Seeing her look like this, He Jiuniang didn't ask any more questions. She just passed by a man selling candied haws, bought one and handed it to Lotus.

Lianhua thought she was buying it for the puppy, so she subconsciously wrapped it up and stuffed it into her arms.

"Eat it, otherwise it will melt later."

He Jiuniang looked at her inexplicably. In this era, there was no plastic paper. Instead, things were wrapped in leaves or handkerchiefs, which became sticky after wrapping.

Besides, the sun was shining brightly at this time, so if I held it in my arms, it would melt in a moment, and the syrup would flow all over my body.

Lianhua was stunned, looked at He Jiuniang in confusion and asked, "Auntie, did you buy this for me?"

"if not?"

He Jiuniang was also a little confused. Are there other children here now?

Lianhua didn't know what to say for a moment. Reject it, it would seem too pretentious, but accept it, it would be really embarrassing.

"Eat quickly, this is your reward for doing so well today."

He Jiuniang smiled. Sometimes she felt that the children at home were too sensible and did not look like children at all.

Lianhua really doesn't regard herself as a child. After all, she is already thirteen. In two years, she will be able to find someone to marry her. How can she eat the candied haws bought by He Jiu Niang again?
But looking at the red fruit wrapped in sugar coating, she couldn't help but swallow.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a lick, and the sweet feeling instantly filled his mouth.

Although He Jiuniang often brought some snacks back to her children during this period, Lianhua always felt that she was a grown-up girl. She always tasted a little bit and left it to her younger siblings at home. She never tasted the real taste. .

She ate two fruits, and then planned to wrap them up and leave them for the puppies to eat.

Aunt Jiuniang was so good to her, so she must be better to the puppy.

He Jiuniang held her forehead: "Lianhua, you have to think about yourself, don't think about others first. This candied haws on a stick is not a valuable thing at all. It was just bought by your aunt for you to eat. You don't need to leave it to anyone. Besides, wait I’ll just bring it to them when I get home later.”

Lianhua blushed in embarrassment and was at a loss for a moment.

He Jiuniang patted her shoulder and said softly: "The family has made money, and life will only get better and better. Eat, it will be fine."

Lianhua's nose felt sour, she hurriedly held back her tears, nodded vigorously, and ate the candied haws completely.

By the time they arrived at Fengchenfang, Lianhua had already adjusted her mood and carefully looked at the fabrics in the cloth shop.

"So beautiful!"

Lianhua couldn't help but marvel, she had never seen so many exquisite fabrics. "Go and pick out some materials that look brighter and more beautiful. Remember, they need good materials."

When Lianhua took her children to build building blocks, He Jiuniang discovered that Lianhua's aesthetics were very good and she could often give her different surprises. Under her guidance, Puppy's aesthetics improved a lot. This is what He Jiuniang The main purpose of bringing her here specially.

This child has a very good understanding and will have a promising future if he is carefully cultivated.

Although Lianhua didn't know what He Jiuniang wanted from good materials, she still went to pick it up obediently. She was very serious and had to personally check everything from the color to the quality.

Under the leadership of Sister-in-law Lin, He Jiuniang went to see another batch of new goods.

Sister-in-law Lin is the woman who received He Jiuniang last time. With the boss's advice, her attitude towards He Jiuniang is even more respectful now.

"Ms. He, this is the latest floral soft satin. It is most suitable for thick clothes such as cotton clothes. The pattern and color are also beautiful. How about a few pieces?"

Sister-in-law Lin knew that He Jiuniang bought fabrics to make into ready-made clothes for winter. This floral soft satin was indeed suitable. After all, she was the benefactor of her employer, so she did not dare to fool her.

He Jiuniang touched the material and found that it was indeed good, but she did not draw a conclusion. She just called Lianhua over and asked, "Lianhua, what do you think of the color of this material?"

"It's very beautiful," Lianhua nodded sincerely, and continued, "It's just too gorgeous. Even ladies from wealthy families may not like this type, unless..."

As a little girl, she was really embarrassed to say the following words. What she wanted to say was that only concubines or girls in flower houses would like her.

Although she didn't say it out loud, both He Jiuniang and Sister-in-law Lin understood what she wanted to express. Sister-in-law Lin hurriedly said: "There are also more elegant materials, right here!"

He Jiuniang said to Lianhua: "What you said makes sense, but we businessmen don't care who we have to sell to, we only need to consider whether we can sell it."

With that, she said to Sister-in-law Lin: "Bring me these pieces, and those simple and elegant ones, and I also want five pieces of soft satin of the same style that are suitable for men."

He Jiuniang is a cheerful person, and Sister-in-law Lin smiles so much that her mouth can be as big as the sun.

Including the five pieces of materials that Lotus just picked out, there are 21 pieces in total.

Floral soft satin is more expensive, with a retail price of 750 Wen. However, He Jiuniang cooperated with Yu Tao and bought a lot, so she only received 630 Wen.

The five pieces Lotus picked were made of coarse cotton, suitable for ordinary girls. The colors were nice and unobtrusive. The price of each piece was 350 Wen, and Sister-in-law Lin gave me [-] Wen.

The total is 11 taels of silver and 580 wen.

Lotus was frightened by the price. They only made two taels of silver from selling clothes this morning. They spent more than they earned!
When she was about to leave, He Jiuniang slapped her forehead and said to Sister-in-law Lin: "And the linen from last time, give me two more pieces of each color. Look at my brain, I almost forgot!"

Sister-in-law Lin responded and went to make arrangements. The colors of the burlap were not many, only six colors, and there were only twelve pieces of cloth in total.

Black and blue are simple, with no extra patterns. The retail price is 210 yuan, and Mrs. Lin counts 160 yuan for her. The remaining four have patterns, and the retail price is 230 yuan. Sister-in-law Lin counts 170 yuan.

The sum totaled exactly 13 taels of silver, so He Jiuniang paid for it, giving a total of [-] and a half taels of silver. Lotus looked at it and twitched.

It's too expensive, and I'm afraid I won't make any money from this business.

After leaving Buzhuang, Lianhua asked He Jiuniang in a low voice: "Auntie, are there so many rich families in the county?"
