When Yunling asked the question, the four of them answered in unison.

"Not expensive."

"That's a bit too little."

"good."

"Neither here nor there."

Song Xiaoliulang said it wasn't expensive because he had no idea what it was, and secondly, 160 coins was an incredibly cheap price for him, no matter what it was.

As for Xie Sinan, he had seen many more expensive lingerie sets in his later life. In his later life, machines were used to make them. Right now, Yun Ling and the others were sewing them by hand, earning only a few dozen coins, which was not worthwhile.

Lu Jiamin didn't think it was expensive. They usually had the owner of the clothing shop come to make clothes for them, and the service fee alone would be more than 160 coins. Moreover, this was a brand new product that they had never heard of before. Selling it for only 160 coins was certainly something to applaud.

From a businessman's perspective, Lu Yinghuai knew that this price would inevitably eliminate some potential customers. However, every product has a target audience, and simply catering to them isn't a good approach.

“Lingniang, if this price is worth the trip to Bianjing, then it’s a good price.”

Song Xiaoliulang raised his right eyebrow, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lu Yinghuai and Yun Ling, his tone becoming teasing.

"Oh~ Ying Huai, didn't you just come back from Bianjing? If your wife also went to Bianjing... then you two..."

"Yes, we'll go to Bianjing together."

Lu Yinghuai answered with great arrogance and pride; anyone who didn't know better would think he was traveling with the emperor and the crown prince.

He then began to recount their experiences in Bianjing, talking on and on. Yunling tried several times to stop him but couldn't find an opportunity, so she had no choice but to let him continue.

Lu Yinghuai spoke with great tact, not mentioning that he was not with Yunling, but rather adding fuel to the fire. Song Xiaoliulang and Lu Jiamin clapped enthusiastically, while Xie Sinan, bored, finished off the remaining pastries on the table before they went home and left it at that.

The next day, as soon as Song Family Paper Mill published the news about "Zhaoyeqing" (a type of paper coin), the price of 160 coins per set of the new product instantly caused a sensation in the city. People in the streets, alleys, and market passageways were talking about the price.

"Hey, have you all heard? Those little-fabric items I saw at Shengfu Restaurant cost 160 coins a set! My god, if I went to the fabric shop and bought a few meters of fabric and cut them to look like those, I wouldn't know how much cheaper it would be."

"Who says otherwise? Their briefs used to sell for thirty-two coins a pair. I thought even with the extra fabric for the top, it would only be around sixty coins. Who knew they'd charge one hundred and sixty coins? They really know how to do business."

"Hey, if you ask me, the Yun family has gotten too cocky because of their marriage alliance with the Qin family. They're thinking of making a fortune while they can."

"I don't want to be a sucker. Let whoever wants to buy this thing buy it. I need to hurry up and go to Shengfu Restaurant to get the set that Manager Zhou ordered wiped clean, in case it comes to my door and I can't refuse to pay."

The women gathered together thought about it and decided to go to Shengfu Restaurant. Although they had only booked one or two sets, it was still money, and who would turn down money?

The group made a great fuss as they headed to Shengfu Restaurant.

Another group set off from the county government office with great fanfare, carrying loads of gifts and valuables, heading towards Dongtou Village.

In an instant, the topic of discussion in the city shifted to the Qin family's dowry. Those loads of dowry were carried out of the county government office in full view of everyone. They had gone so far ahead, but the end was nowhere to be seen.

This shows how much the Qin family valued the Yun family's daughter.

This single relationship is enough to make many people ponder. Shengfu Restaurant is not only bustling with people canceling their orders, but even more people are placing orders, sometimes several sets at a time, as if they were free.

Even more impatient were those who gathered a large group of people and followed the procession delivering the gifts to the Yun family, demanding the ninety-six sets of finished products.

Yunling counted the coins on one side, while Yun Ruoxia helped Zhang Shi and Yun's mother count the gifts on the other. It must be said that the Qin family was indeed very wealthy.

The betrothal gifts included a pair of geese, two of each of the rare birds and beasts, two black horses, two deer hides, two jars of Sichuan pepper, a box of calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, a box of distinctive porcelain, a box of teacups, bowls, and jade chopsticks, and two loads of betrothal cakes.

Abalone, dried oysters, shiitake mushrooms, scallops, dried shrimp, squid, sea cucumber, fish maw, shark fin, ten servings of eight kinds of seafood, incense, candles, firecrackers, and two baskets of fresh fruit.

Six boxes of rock sugar, candied orange peel, candied hawthorn, and candied winter melon; six boxes of dried longan, dried lychee, dried walnuts, and dried beans; twelve bottles of aged fine wine; and two baskets of mud carp and carp.

12 catties of glutinous rice, 3.2 catties of sugar, 12 catties of oil, 12 catties of sesame seeds, and 12 cakes of tea.

Three boxes of gold jewelry, eight pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, eight strings and eight hundred and eighty-eight cash in betrothal gifts, and eight hundred and eighty-eight strings and eight hundred and eighty-eight cash in dowry.

Old Mrs. Lin and Old Mrs. Wu, who squeezed to the doorway to watch, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They could never have imagined that the old woman they had once despised, who was useless and only had brute strength, would marry so well.

If they had been able to predict this earlier, they would have treated Yun Ruochun kindly, and she would probably have gotten some rare items by now.

They were genuinely regretful. Seeing the Fan family taking such a big advantage made them extremely uncomfortable. However, they thought that the Fan family shouldn't be the only ones to benefit, so they spread the word about being Chun Jie'er's godmother, hoping to get a free meal.

And just like that, word spread like wildfire, and the Yun family became famous.

After buying bras and panties at Yun's house, other people who also wanted to buy things flocked to Yun's house, partly to buy things and partly to see the rumored dowry.

Yunling sensed something was wrong; it wasn't fair to the customers who had previously supported her. Therefore, she refused their requests and went to Shengfu Restaurant to find Manager Zhou.

Yunling took the ledger from Manager Zhou, and her second aunt took Yun Chu from Old Master Zhong.

"Is today truly my eldest cousin's wedding day?"

"Would I lie to you? Who would joke about something like this? Hurry up and get on the donkey cart."

Yun Chu felt something was off, and she instinctively resisted.

"I'll go with my father later."

“Your father and mother are already helping out at our house, but they can’t get away, so they asked your second uncle and me to come and pick you up. Ling’er has arrived too, and she’s running around on the mountain right now.”

“If my father were going, how could he not have informed me beforehand? He and I left the city together. Besides, it’s such a big event as my cousin’s wedding. Our family should have received the invitation long ago.”
