Chapter 175 A Good Girl

When they arrived in the town, Jinhua and Ye Xuan got off the car one after another, and then headed straight for the county town.

Ye Caiping found the best cloth shop in the county.

This time, I picked silk clothes. Silk is considered a precious fabric, and one foot costs one hundred coins. I don’t have time to make them now, so I just bought the ready-made clothes.

Jin'er and her two sisters each picked two sets, and each bought eight feet of silk cloth to take home and take their time making them.

Ye Caiping looked at Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, pick one too."

Yang Xiaoyan was shocked. "No, auntie, you gave me a few feet of cloth last time, some cotton and some coarse cloth, and I've already made two new sets of clothes. How can I want this silk cloth again? It's too expensive. And it's not convenient for me to work."

"Then wear it when you're not working. You can wear it even when it's a festival. It's a benefit."

Yang Xiaoyan is diligent and efficient, and has a keen eye for work. The house is kept tidy and neat, and Grandma Ye only has to do some easy tasks like picking vegetables and feeding chickens.

Old Mrs. Ye had no idea how many times she had praised Xiaoyan.

Ye Caiping persuaded her for a while, but Yang Xiaoyan still didn't want to choose, so Ye Caiping had to say:

"Okay, if you don't want to pick, I'll just buy it."

"Hey!" Yang Xiaoyan was anxious, her face red: "I, I'll choose."

Ye Caiping nodded.

Finally, Yang Xiaoyan picked out a jacket and skirt in autumn leaf yellow, which was bright and elegant.

Ye Caiping picked out a set for Old Man Ye and Old Lady Ye respectively.

Thinking that he already had several maids now, and that Jinhua and Hu Xiuxiu wouldn't be a big deal, he bought a set for them as well.

Then again, I thought that I had bought things for so many people, and it wouldn't matter if it was my eldest brother and his wife. As for Ye Xuan and the other boys, forget it. I was too lazy to pick for them. It was tiring. Leave them naked!

Although the silk cloth they chose was very common, the price was still not low, and they were all ready-made clothes. A set of clothes was not sold for 10 taels, but for 1 tael, but only for 998 Wen!

All the fabric for the clothes cost her a total of 15 taels and 3 cents.

After buying clothes, he bought embroidered shoes for the three maids.

As for head ornaments, girls who had not yet reached the age of marriage seldom wore gold or silver, so Ye Caiping bought them a few headbands and a few velvet flower tassel hairpins.

After buying things, they took a ox cart out of the city, but were squeezed by the crowd and could hardly move.

"Why are there more people than before?" Ye Huaner said.

Ye Jin'er said, "Today is the 23rd, right? The day after tomorrow is the Flower Festival, so there will naturally be many girls going out to buy things."

When Ye Caiping heard the words "Flower Festival", she couldn't help but perk up.

She remembered it very clearly. The book said that on the day of the Flower Festival, Li Jiaojiao and Gu Han went out to play on the street, and on the way back, they saved the Duke's wife.

However, Li Jiaojiao is so poor now, and Gu Han has a limp, so I wonder if they will still travel on the Flower Festival.

They'd better not go out!

Ye Caiping was rubbing her hands in anticipation. As long as she could save the Duke's wife, she would have a powerful backer!

The book says that the Duke's wife is a grateful and protective person, and she keeps asking Li Jiaojiao to be her goddaughter.

After Li Jiaojiao came to Beijing, she was framed several times, and it was the Duke's wife who resolved the situation.

The reason why Gu Han was able to return to Beijing and regain the position of Crown Prince was also because of the influence of the Duke's wife.

It can be said that the Duke's Master is the destined benefactor for Li Jiaojiao and Gu Han!

Without the Duke's wife, Gu Han would be a useless man and would be assassinated several times before he could even leave Yue'an County.

Thinking about this, Ye Caiping couldn't help but think of the time when Gu Han appeared.

The reason why she didn't save Gu Han at the beginning was, firstly, she didn't want to get involved, and secondly, Gu Han was not a normal person and had a serious mental illness. She didn't have time to serve such a mentally ill young man.

Besides, she didn't have a chance then.

The book does not clearly state the exact time of his appearance, but simply describes that the weather was good that day and Li Jiaojiao and Zhang Shuiniang and her husband went out shopping together.

The book vaguely states: "Li Jiaojiao and her family were tired from shopping and were about to find a random restaurant to eat when they suddenly heard a burst of shouting and cursing not far away."

There is no time or place.

If not for this, she would have been confused and killed Gu Han with a knife.

Now Gu Han has become a cripple and has become Li Jiaojiao's big thunder.

…

When I returned to the village and passed by Ye Daquan's house.

Ye Caiping saw Doctor Zhao mixing mud there and couldn't help but be surprised: "Doctor, why are you here?"

Doctor Zhao raised his head and smiled: "Well, my son has to go to work, so someone has to be at home, so I came here by myself. If anyone is sick or hurt, they can come here to see me."

Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "That's right."

I sighed in my heart that, except for a few bad ones, the people in their village are really honest.

After arriving home, Ye Caiping asked Yinhua to take her and Erquan Wei's clothes home.

Ye Caiping divided the clothes in the house according to the number of people, and the whole family tried on the clothes excitedly.

Ye Daquan was very happy: "So I have a share! If I had known, I would have gone to the clothing store to pick some."

Mrs. Du put on her clothes happily, her mouth full of disdain:

"What's the point of asking you to go in? You'll just have to 'pick one for me, if I say it looks good, it's good'! The result will be the same anyway. Cai Ping doesn't want to waste time with you. Just pick one and buy one. It saves time and effort."

Ye Caiping smiled and replied, "Yes."

"This is all silk..." Old Lady Ye touched the deep-set clothes in her hand with a distressed look, "Only the masters and mistresses of wealthy families can afford to wear this."

"Aren't you now an old lady from a wealthy family? Hahaha!" Mrs. Du laughed.

Ye Caiping continued: "Yes."

Old Lady Ye's face was full of wrinkles from smiling: "I often think, how can a poor person like me live such a rich life? It's like a dream."

Ye Caiping smiled: "Who told you to have such a good daughter?"

Old Mrs. Ye and everyone else started laughing.

The whole family was having a great time trying it out, but Ye Yong was the only one standing in a corner with a confused look on his face. Where was his?

When he learned that Ye Xuan and Ye Peng didn't have any, he finally felt relieved.

…

The next morning, Ye Caiping had already packed up.

After a long while, Ye Jiner and Ye Huaner came out of the room.

The two changed into the clothes they bought yesterday.

Ye Jin'er was wearing a waist-length skirt, a light red top, a moon-white skirt, and a red tie hanging in front of her chest, which was bright and lively. She had two buns on her head, with a velvet flower on each side and red tassels hanging down.

Ye Huan'er also has the same hairstyle, but her clothes are a jacket and skirt, a light green set, but the color of the skirt is a little darker.

The two sisters are beautiful in their own ways, one is bright and the other is elegant.

Looking at her two daughters, Ye Caiping's heart was filled with pink bubbles. She finally felt that being a mother was painless and it was worth it.

"Hiss, like a noble lady." Mrs. Du gasped.

"There's still a long way to go." Ye Caiping smiled, "They still have a lot to learn."

Ye Daquan said: "It looks good, but it doesn't seem appropriate to ride in a bullock cart like this."

Ye Caiping thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy a carriage!"

There had been no wars in the past ten years of the Zhou Dynasty, so the management of horses was relaxed and ordinary people could buy them if they had money.
