"Sis, look, the cloth shop is right in front." Fang Yizhi's eyes were sharp, he pointed to a shop in front of him and said to Fang Ruyi.

Fang Ru Xiu raised her head and saw the Cloth shop that Fang Yizhi had pointed to. The decorations of this shop appeared to be much better than the others. The signboard on top of the shop was also painted red.

"Alright, I was foolish. Do you know how to write?" Fang Ru Xiu said again.

Seeing his slightly dejected look, Fang Ruzhu continued, "Alright, work harder. I still have hope for you. In the future, whenever you see words that you don't recognize, you can write down poems that you don't understand. When the time comes, you can ask me for help."

"Oh." Only then did Fang Yizhi raise his head and agree.

"Alright, little sister, didn't you want to buy thread?" Let's go in. " Fang Yizheng said.

It turned out that they had already unknowingly arrived at the entrance of this shop. She nodded towards Fang Yizheng, thanked him for his reminder, and walked in.

This shop sold cloth, the most common being cloth. There was coarse linen, thin and soft cotton, and there was even a small amount of silk for sale. Fang Ruzhu didn't look at the silk, but she touched the soft cotton. There were also several types of cotton, some were a bit thicker than the others, and some were a bit more compact, but she didn't ask for the price.

The shopkeeper was a woman in her thirties with a kind smile on her face. She did not scold them when she saw the children that came in. Seeing Fang Ruzhu touch the cotton, she did not notice that she was young and did not pay any attention to others, but instead enthusiastically introduced: "These cotton pieces are all top quality. Miss, the one under you only requires fifteen coins, the one on the left is ten coins, the one on the right is twenty coins.

No wonder the Fang family rarely bought clothes in the past year. Most of them were worn by adults, while some of the older children wore small clothes. So it was because a foot of cloth was actually so expensive.

The ancient people needed a lot of cloth to make their clothes. Just making a shirt needed at least three feet of cloth, but it often required more than that.

Although Fang Ruzhu had designed it in her previous life, it had generally been designed in the areas of jewelry and jade. Although she hadn't designed any clothes before, she knew that some shreds at the corners would definitely waste a lot of fabric.

Of course, although these cloths were not very expensive, they were still quite expensive for poor farmers like the Fang family. Although Fang Ruzhu had just earned two taels of silver, she had to leave one or two taels for Fang Yizhi to study. If she wanted to buy rice and other food, as well as thread and thread, she really didn't have any money left to buy cloth.

What's more, he couldn't just buy cloth from her. At least everyone in the second floor had it, right? Then the Yu's and the Fang family's old patriarch should have it as well, right? In this way, the silver in her hands could not buy anything else after buying the cloth.

This cloth was already bought, and since he couldn't make any money, it was just a waste! Thinking like this, Fang Ru Xiu gritted her teeth and decided not to buy it. She raised her head to look at the cloth seller and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm here today to buy cloth. I would like to ask if you are selling rosewood."

"Sold." The shopkeeper nodded his head in a hurry, and then brought Fang Ruxiu to the counter to have a look. On the counter, there were some channels and other items like silk handkerchief. Fang Ruxiu asked for the price, one for the rosewood and one for the silk handkerchief.

"Shopkeeper, if I sell you the jade, will you accept it?" Fang Ru Xiu asked probingly.

"I did." The manager replied.

"How much is each of them?" Fang Ru Xiu asked again.

"One coin for each." The shopkeeper replied.

Fang Ruzhu nodded her head, indicating that she knew. Then, she told the shopkeeper that she wanted to buy some thick silk threads for the string test.

The shopkeeper's silk here was made of cotton thread, hemp thread and real silk thread, all of them in different colors. Fang Ruyi planned to buy some cotton thread and silk thread, and other than the thick ones, she also bought some thin thread and needles.

When Fang Ruzhu heard the price, she was instantly stunned again. Was there a mistake? It was just a few rolls of thread and they were still so expensive, even now she was wondering if she would be able to earn back the money just by doing manual labor like beatings.

She felt that she could make that kind of selling doll, but it would be a bit of a waste. Thinking back to the novels she had read in her previous life, this kind of Cloth shop would always sell shreds of cloth, so she asked the shopkeeper if he had any, but regrettably, the storekeeper's answer was no.

The shopkeeper said, "Little girl, you don't know about this. We do have some rags here, but every time you customers come here to buy something, you ask me to send some rags. So we don't have any rags here."

If she thought about it, it made sense. In this town, people only took in soles and such, not only were they using rags, even the pillows that she slept on were made out of rags. So, in this Cloth shop, where would there be so many rags that she did not want?

"Hey, how far is our home from the county?" Fang Ru Xiu suddenly asked the two people beside her.

"About twenty miles." Fang Yizheng replied.

After Fang Ruzhu heard this, she nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "Then let's pull down the three feet of white cloth."

However, she did not intend to sell them in this town, so she decided to go to the county when the time came, and then check if there were any rags for sale. At the moment, however, she could buy some of them, or else her family would not let her go to the county, and she could only wait until someone from the village came along with them.

"Yes, girl." As the shopkeeper spoke, he took a ruler to measure the cloth. Fang Ruzhu grit her teeth and bought all sorts of silk.

At the time of settling the bill, it was a total of five hundred gold coins. However, the shopkeeper had taken the initiative to erase all the bills and only accepted five hundred gold coins from her.

"Little sister, you really want to buy it?" Fang Yizheng said.

"Yeah." Fang Ruxiu nodded.

"Do you have money?" Fang Yizheng said. At this time, the shopkeeper was still smiling at Fang Ru Xiu, but her heart was still lifted, and she was truly worried that Fang Ru Xiu did not have any money, as five hundred gold coins was not a small sum. Seeing how the little girl dressed up like a country bumpkin,

"Money?" As Fang Ruxiu spoke, she opened her palm and said, "Isn't that money?"

Fang Yizheng saw that he only had five copper coins in his hand, and his heart tensed up, afraid that the shopkeeper would get angry.

However, the shopkeeper saw a piece of crushed silver that she was holding in her copper coin. Fang Ruxiu passed the broken silver to her, and then she found a tael of broken silver and five hundred copper coins.

Shattered silver was still kept close to her body, but out came five hundred copper coins and cloth and threads. Fang Yizheng helped her carry them, then walked out of the shop.

Fang Yizheng's eyes widened: "This, where did this money come from?"

"I earned it directly from him." Fang Ruzhu said, "Don't ask, you know me very well. I don't eat free food. My money is clean money."

Fang Yizheng saw that he wouldn't be able to get an answer from Fang Ruxiu, so he looked to Fang Yizhi, who nodded to him: "Sister is right."

"Then the two of you have so much money, and you still want to steal my five cents private property. Hurry up and return my private money to me." Fang Yizheng said as he looked at Fang Ru Xiu.

"Nope." Then, she followed Fang Yizhi all the way to his private school. Currently, the private school still had not opened, and the door was tightly shut, so Fang Ruzhu looked at the slightly lost Fang Yizhi, patted his shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, little brother, in the future, you will have a lot of time to come to this academy, if not, you can keep the money yourself."

As Fang Ru Xiu said that, she took out a silver tael and passed it to Fang Yizhi. However, Fang Yizhi did not accept it, he knew that even if he took it, it would be hard to explain later.

"Elder sister, it's better if you keep it. I believe in my elder sister." Fang Yizhi said.

Then, she patted Fang Yizhi's head and said, "Then let's go buy rice and meat buns."

"Mm. Alright." When he heard that there was food, Fang Yizhi was still a child after all. When he heard that someone was going to buy meat buns, the disappointed look on his face immediately disappeared. He jumped up and walked to the front to guide the two of them.
