With money in hand, Qiu Lianniang stopped by the embroidery workshop to buy fabrics for autumn shirts.

There are many embroidery shops and cloth shops in Yong'an Town, and the price of coarse cloth is very cheap. It costs two cents per foot. It takes about six or seven feet of cloth for an adult to make a set of clothes. There are five people in her family, and a set for each person costs three to four cents. Ten feet of cloth.

However, although this kind of coarse cloth is cheap, its texture is rough and it rubs against the skin when worn, making it very uncomfortable. It can only be used to make outer clothes, and you need to buy some fine linen cloth.

The texture of fine linen is softer than coarse cloth, suitable for making linings, and the price is slightly more expensive. It costs six cents per foot, so Qiu Lian Niang still bought forty feet of fine linen.

This time, more than 300 Wen had been spent, and she felt a little sore.

But this is a must-have item of clothing for autumn and cannot be dispensed with.

Qiulianang gritted her teeth and bought some needlework and rags that were not needed in the embroidery workshop.

She plans to use these rags to make shoe uppers. After autumn, the weather will gradually cool down, and she will no longer be able to wear straw sandals. She will have to wear cloth shoes...

When Jiang Wei saw this, he thought that the few pieces of cloth he had sent to Qiulian's family were not enough, so he also bought some cloth.

Although she was not good at needlework, she could find someone to help her make clothes, so she bought dozens of feet of coarse cloth and fine linen cloth, as well as several pieces of colorful satin cloth.

This satin fabric has a smooth and shiny appearance, fine silk surface, and soft touch. She plans to use it to make several linings.

In addition, she also bought two pairs of cotton shoes and socks for herself and Jiang Xiaoxiao... After all, she bought more than Qiu Lianniang.

Finally, when the three of them left the embroidery workshop, Qiu Lianniang came out with a small bag, Jiang Wei came out with a large bag, and Jiang Xiaoxiao walked in front with empty hands.

She pointed to the pastry shop in front and said, "Mom, let's buy some pastries and go back."

Chunya comes to her house every day to help feed the rabbits, chickens and sheep, rain or shine. The little girl is honest. After feeding the poultry, she also conscientiously cleans the chicken feces and sheep pens.

She wanted to ask her to have dinner with her several times, but the girl quickly ran away after finishing her work, leaving no chance for her to buy some pastries back so that she could give them to Chun Ya as a thank you gift.

So, the three of them went to the pastry shop again.

There are especially many pastries sold in the shop. The expensive ones include steamed cheese with sugar, chicken fat rolls, pine pulp and goose fat rolls...

There are even more cheap ones, such as chestnut cake, jujube cake, wheat cake...

In addition to buying a box of candies, Jiang Xiaoxiao also ordered two packages of chestnut cakes and jujube cakes.

Qiulian Niang was watching from the side, a little moved.

The two children in the family have never eaten any pastries since they were young. They have been helping with the work day and night these days. Even the younger one is not lazy. Why don't she buy some and go back to reward the children? She has also made some money every day. …

After thinking about it, she took out more than ten pennies from her sleeve and bought a small bag of the cheapest wheat cake.

Before leaving, Jiang Wei went to the pork stall again and bought three kilograms of pork.

Pork has risen along with grain prices a while ago, reaching as high as thirty-five cents per catty. Now the price has dropped, selling for twenty-eight cents per catty.

Qiu Lianniang looked at it, thinking that it had been a long time since her family had the smell of meat, so she gritted her teeth and bought half a catty of pork.

This time, I spent more than ten cents.

When Qiu Lianniang got into the carriage, she was still counting the remaining money in her bag sadly.

When I came to town this time, I had already spent half a tael of silver on cloth, needlework, cakes and pork. I couldn't move except for the three taels of silver to pay the head tax. Now I only have less than one tael of silver left for emergencies. .

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked on from the side and sighed quietly. This tael of silver may seem like a lot, but it is all the money a family of seven or eight earns from working hard for a whole year.

When winter comes, part of this money will be used to buy clothes and quilts to keep out the cold. If someone in the family gets sick and takes medicine or something, this money will not be saved at all.

The carriage drove all the way to Yuhe Village.

When approaching the entrance of the village, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a carriage blocked in front of her carriage, which seemed to have come out of the village just now.

The dirt road in the village was narrow, and two carriages were blocked on the opposite side, making it impossible for anyone to pass.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was confused. Except for her family, no other family in the village had a carriage. Where did this carriage come from?

At this moment, the curtains of the carriage opposite opened, and a familiar face poked out.

"Oh, it turns out to be the third aunt!" Li Jinfeng covered her mouth in feigned surprise, but there was a hint of demonstration and pride on her face, "You and Erya are going back to the village, I'm about to go to the Huang family in the town .”

She especially emphasized the word "Huang Family".

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced around and knew that the carriage belonged to the Huang family. It was probably the Huang family who sent someone to pick up his wife.

She grabbed her mother's hand and said, "In this case, we can't stand in the way of the Li family's bright future."

Jiang Wei had nothing to say and followed his daughter's wishes and gave way to Li Jinfeng's carriage.

Li Jinfeng felt very uncomfortable when she saw that Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't even want to call her cousin, and spoke of herself as a member of the Li family, obviously trying to distance herself from her.

She was about to marry into a rich family, but Jiang Xiaoxiao, this damn girl, didn’t rush to please her!

But when he thought about it, both mother and daughter gave way to him, obviously because they were afraid of his future identity. Thinking of this, Li Jinfeng felt proud again.

She glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao's calm face arrogantly, snorted softly, let go of the curtains, sat back, and ignored it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the carriage going away, with a hint of sarcasm on her calm face.

The Huang family is considered a prestigious family in Yong'an County. To marry a daughter-in-law, not to mention Shili Hongzhuang, there is not even a wedding team. Even if a concubine with a humble status marries into such a high-profile family, she will carry a sedan chair from there. Entering from the side, Li Jinfeng went there in a carriage.

This Li Jinfeng really takes it as his own pleasure. If he has any self-awareness, he will think of the inconsistencies.

Jiang Wei drove the carriage and continued to rush home.

Qiu Lianniang closed the car curtain and couldn't help but said: "It's strange, wasn't it said in the village that the person who married into that wealthy family was Li Xiufen? Why is it that now that the person is replaced, the Huang family doesn't say a word?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing.

Look, even Qiu Lianniang, a peasant woman who has never seen the world, saw the clues. Why couldn't the Li family see it?

Qiulian Niang clicked her tongue twice: "If my son marries a daughter-in-law in the future, and the originally planned daughter-in-law becomes her sister-in-law, my family will definitely not be happy."

Jiang Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, "Maybe the Huang family doesn't care who they marry."

His family just wants a girl, a yellow-flowered girl, with no background, the kind of girl who has something to hold on to.

Jiang Xiaoxiao remembered that the girl that Shopkeeper Zhou had mentioned was brought out from the young master's house of the Huang family. She must have had a similar background to Li Jinfeng. She had no power and power, and she didn't dare to trouble the Huang family if something happened.
