Chapter 153 Sixth Sister-in-law suddenly fainted

Today's dinner must be very sumptuous. When the officials saw that the Mo family's meal was ready, Peng Wang brought them here uninvited.

After enjoying the delicious food, the women were reluctant to rest. They built a fire and continued to make dolls by light.

Practice makes perfect. Once they successfully produce a qualified product, they will be able to do the next one easily.

When He Zhiran woke up early in the morning, he was pulled over by his sisters-in-law to check the finished dolls they had made last night.

After checking it out, He Zhiran admired the craftsmanship of these ancients from the bottom of his heart.

It is much better than the original version made by her best friend in her space, and it can even be said that it has no flaws at all.

The eldest sister-in-law and the sixth sister-in-law made three each, and the other sisters-in-law and Mo Hanyue made two dolls each. Including the one made by Old Madam Mo, the Mo family made 21 dolls yesterday.

There are also those from the Fang and Xie families, each of whom made twenty.

He Zhiran felt that it was worth her running errands to deliver this quantity, so after breakfast, accompanied by Mo Jiuye, she delivered these finished long-eared rabbit dolls to the embroidery room.

From afar, I saw that the door of the embroidery room was crowded with people.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye had no idea what was going on, so they walked over quickly to check it out.

I saw Miss Li, who spent twenty taels to buy a long-eared rabbit yesterday, gathered in front of the door with a dozen people.

"Shopkeeper, when will you have dolls like this for sale? We've been waiting for them all morning."

The shopkeeper stood at the door and said helplessly, "I'm not sure about this right now. It depends on when they can deliver the goods."

He Zhiran looked for a while, then walked over with Mo Jiuye, carrying the sixty-one long-eared rabbit dolls they had made.

When the shopkeeper saw He Zhiran, he immediately smiled.

"My dear lady, you are finally here. Look at the ladies at my door. They are all here for this doll."

Miss Li also saw He Zhiran.

"Hurry, hurry, the dolls have arrived."

The young ladies rushed into the embroidery room like a swarm of bees.

Mo Jiuye directly placed a bag of long-eared rabbit dolls on the counter.

He Zhiran stepped forward and said, "Boss, I brought sixty-one dolls today."

After inspecting the goods, the shopkeeper was very satisfied with the batch of dolls and took He Zhiran inside to settle the payment.

Sixty-one taels of silver were different from banknotes. They looked like a large pile. She couldn't put them directly into the space in front of outsiders, so she temporarily gave them to Mo Jiuye for safekeeping.

When she and the shopkeeper arrived at the counter, the place was already surrounded by customers waiting to buy dolls.

Seeing the shopkeeper come out, Miss Li stepped forward and said:

"Shopkeeper, I was willing to spend twenty taels of silver to buy a doll yesterday because I loved it so much. In fact, this doll is not worth that much. Don't ask for an exorbitant price just because there are so many customers today!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly froze.

She had just considered this issue when she saw that so many customers were brought by Miss Li.

These customers are all young ladies from wealthy families. Miss Li is willing to spend twenty taels to buy a doll, so I believe those people can do the same.

What's more, this doll is the only one she has and looks so cute, so it will definitely sell for a good price.

Even if I can't sell it for twenty taels, ten taels will always be no problem.

Unexpectedly, Miss Li started to ruin her plan as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Ms. Li, you can't say that. You spent twenty taels when you bought this doll. If I sell it to someone else for two taels, wouldn't that be annoying for you?"

Miss Li didn't listen to her nonsense at all.

"I don't feel like I'm being bothered. Two taels of silver is just right."

Immediately afterwards, several young sisters beside her also joined in.

"Shopkeeper, if this doll wasn't made so special, it wouldn't be worth even two taels of silver. If you don't sell it at this price, we won't buy it."

Others who heard the news and came to watch the fun also joined in the fun.

"Yes, two taels of silver each is already very expensive."

The shopkeeper suddenly felt a headache and she instinctively looked at He Zhiran.

He Zhiran just smiled and said that he would not get involved.

The customer is not a fool. What Miss Li said makes sense. She was willing to pay twenty taels to buy the long-eared rabbit doll yesterday. On the one hand, it was because this kind of doll was on display for the first time, and she might be worried that she would not be able to find it in the future.

The most important thing is that they are not short of money.

Although the customers who came with Miss Li today all seemed to be ladies from wealthy families, twenty taels was not a small amount of money in that era.

There are probably not many people who are willing to spend twenty taels to buy a doll.

She didn't expect that the shopkeeper was so greedy that he was unwilling to share the profit in half.

Fortunately, she will not stay here for a long time, otherwise she would definitely consider finding a new partner.

When the shopkeeper saw that He Zhiran didn't speak up for her, he realized that it was unlikely that he could sell the doll at a high price.

So she smiled awkwardly.

"Ladies, I spent a lot of money on this doll. How about this? Five taels of silver for one."

"Two taels, will you sell it? If not, we'll leave."

Miss Li said this and prepared to take her people away.

The shopkeeper became anxious and quickly stepped forward to stop the man.

"Three taels, three taels, no less."

Miss Li stopped and looked at the young ladies before turning around again.

"Okay, three taels, no more price increases."

"No price increase, no price increase." The shopkeeper said as he led the people to the counter to choose dolls.

He Zhiran looked at it for a while, felt it was boring, and pulled Mo Jiuye away.

As soon as he walked into the path leading to the camp, he ran into Mo Chuhan who looked a little anxious.

Mo Chuhan strode forward to meet him.

"Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, you are finally back."

Mo Jiuye raised his eyebrows: "My dear, what happened?"

"Sixth sister-in-law suddenly fainted just now. Mother said her body was terribly burned."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye handed all the food in his hands to Mo Chuhan, and pulled He Zhiran towards the camp.

When he returned to the camp, He Zhiran saw a tent surrounded by people.

She pushed through the crowd and walked in.

The eldest and second sisters-in-law were using handkerchiefs to wipe the forehead of the sixth sister-in-law.

Seeing He Zhiran coming back, the sister-in-law quickly stood up and gave her seat to her.

"Ninth sister-in-law, you're back just in time. Come on, help your sixth sister-in-law. Why did she suddenly faint?"

He Zhiran walked up and touched Sixth Sister-in-law's forehead, and it was indeed very hot.

At this time, Sister-in-law Liu had regained some consciousness, but her voice was weak.

"I'm fine, I just caught a cold."

He Zhiran would not be careless until he was sure what happened to his Sixth Sister-in-law.

She reached out to feel Sixth Sister-in-law's pulse, and gradually, her brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Sixth Sister-in-law had indeed caught a cold, but judging from her pulse, it was not just a cold.

She had a feeling that there was some force in Sixth Sister-in-law's body that was causing her cold to become more severe.
