After Tian Yuqiao and the two Yuan brothers returned from the county town, they went to the Hall of Virtue. The two brothers had gone to thank Shopkeeper Yao while Tian Yuqiao had gone to do business.
The two apprentice-brothers spoke a bit of Jili's language and got a ten-cent reward from the shopkeeper. Afterwards, they went to the other shops in the town to continue their fortuitous business. Tian Yuqiao reached into the bamboo basket and took out twenty bottles of Gold Sore Medicine. She had spent the past few days refining them inside the Emptiness Realm.
In order to not appear too sudden, she did not dare to take out too much Golden Sore Medicine at once, lest others become suspicious.
Manager Yao checked it for a moment before nodding with a smile. "Yes, not bad. They are all quality assurance."
After that, he asked the waiter to bring him a silver tael and a hundred gold taels. Tian Yuqiao put the money away and left with a smile.
Now that she had the money, plus Wang Clan didn't spend it all last time, she still had 18 taels of silver and 600 taels of copper coins.
This was also because she had spent a large amount of money in the county.
Although the things in the town weren't as good as those in the county, they were still cheap.
Tian Yuqiao didn't go to Hu's embroidery village to buy cloth. Instead, he went to a small cloth shop that didn't seem to be looking up. He bought a white muslin, a green muslin, and half a magenta muslin. After that, he bought two Kangan mats from a stall. He spent a total of one to two pieces of silver.
After that, he spent another fifty pieces of money to buy a large bag of cloth. Inside the bag, there was even a large piece of silk.
She even bought several kilograms of cotton and spent several hundred coins to pay the bill, but she didn't even blink when she did so.
When Yuan Yuan saw her buying so many things, the two of them were immediately stupefied.
With the two of them helping her carry the goods, Tian Yuqiao felt much more relaxed. Fortunately, there was an oxcart this time. When she wanted to go up the mountain, she would think of a way to hide the things inside the Emptiness Realm.
After all, those things had to be taken out sooner or later, so Tian Yuqiao did not put them away. It was for the sake of convenience in the future.
"Wow, wow, how could Big Sister Qiao'er have the money to buy so many good things?" The little monk, Yuan Tong, who was carrying a pile of cotton, laughed until his eyes narrowed.
"In the future, you guys will come with me to the mountains to pick mushrooms. When we sell the money, we can make everyone a new set of cotton clothes. It's almost winter, and your previous blankets are a bit too thin. " Tian Yu Qiao said.
Yuan Ji laughed and said, "Amitabha, Master said that only by eating it all can we make the world suffer less. "The suffering in this world is certain, we …"
"Well, I'm not happy with your Buddhist theories. No matter what, it can't freeze my body, right? " Tian Yuqiao interrupted.
Alright, the two of them had nothing to say, so they couldn't be bothered to play zither with the cow.
Taking the ox-cart to the foot of the mountain, Tian Yuqiao secretly threw the cloth in the bamboo basket behind him into the Emptiness Realm. He then took some cotton and sundries from Yuan Su's and Yuan Tong's body.
The few of them stopped and walked. After resting a few times along the way, they finally transported all of those things back.
While he was trying to escape, Tian Yuqiao unknowingly took out the item from the Emptiness Realm. Lady Wang didn't expect her daughter to buy this much this time, but these were all things she needed.
The luggage and clothes at the head of the house were burnt. Lady Wang was also thinking of buying some. She didn't expect her daughter to buy all the things she had to do in the county. It seemed like Qiao'er's decision to make this home her own was really the right one.
After dinner, she used the two new mats to change the old mats, and began to sew new bedding under the setting sun.
Seeing this, the two brothers of Yuan Yuan also picked up their needlework, and occasionally helped Wang's cotton wool.
Tian Yuqiao was so shocked that her eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets. She said to Yuan Yuan, "You... How could you do this? "
"Because we are monks, we have to do everything ourselves, so these are our compulsory courses. Usually our clothes and pants are torn and we mend them ourselves. " "Let's go."
On Lady Wang's side, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears of bitterness while Tian YuQiao's face turned slightly red. She was just a young girl, yet she didn't know how to manage the household as compared to the two young monks.
"Sis, big brother Yuan Ji is really amazing. He can lift a stick, and he can also hold an embroidery needle. Unfortunately, I actually don't know how to do it."
Yutang's little fellow looked at the few holes in his hand that had been poked out, looking depressed.
Tian Yuqiao was somewhat speechless. She patted her younger brother's head and said, "Yutang, you will need to use a brush in the future. Embroidery needles or something like that should only be learned by women. Don't forget that you are a man."
"Pfft!" Yutang could not help but laugh. She then said to Tian Yuqiao, "But sister, aren't you a woman too? Then why don't you know how to sew? "
Well, Tian Yuqiao finally experienced what it meant to lift a rock to smash one's own foot.
The two Yuan Brothers could not help laughing while covering their mouths. Tian Yujie pretended not to see anything as she dragged Yutang out to water the garden.
When she finished watering the garden, which was half an acre in size, with the water from the lotus pond, she led Yutang back to the east room only to discover that there were a few new quilts on the brick bed.
"I've already made it for your little brother and his junior brothers. Mother will make it for us again tomorrow." Lady Wang said with a smile.
Tian Yuqiao naturally did not have any objections. Yuan Ji said, "Amitabha, you cannot. The three blankets should be given to the three of you to use first. We will change it tomorrow."
Mrs Wang smiled and said, "There's no need to be polite. Right now, we are family, and I have treated you all as my own children. You can have it."
After some debate, the final three quilts were given to Tian Yuqiao, Yutang and Yuan Tong, while Lady Wang and the new quilted bed with Yuan Ji were kept for tomorrow.
On the second day, just after breakfast, Lady Wang began to sew blankets for herself and Yuan Ji. The quilt weighed seven to eight kilograms, so the cotton that Tian Yuqiao had bought this time was soon used up.
The purplish-red cotton cloth was originally meant to be left for Lady Wang to make new clothes, but all of them ended up as quilts. It seemed like she would have to buy more cloth.
After Yuan Ji and the others followed Yu Tang and returned from the mountains with hazel mushrooms, Lady Wang smiled and gave the new quilt to Yuan Ji.
