Of course, the set she's about to make is just a prototype. If it turns out well, she can go out and buy some fabric that can be used as a wedding dress and make it herself in the future.
This saves her the trouble of planting from the system's garden. Her land is very precious and can be used to grow more things that don't exist in the real world.
**
Several rain showers have fallen in Hongcheng, and the weather is gradually turning cooler. Anning has been waiting for more than half a month, but the Miss Yan that Anle mentioned has not yet arrived.
The person sat in the pavilion, chewing absentmindedly, unable to taste the food.
Qiao Zhiyi passed by in the corridor, saw An Ning, and turned her feet to enter the pavilion.
"Cousin Ning."
An Ning looked up in a daze at the voice, and grinned at the person who had already sat down in front of her. "Cousin Zhiyi, I've seen you and my older sister have been quite busy lately. How's it going?"
Recently, my cousin Zhiyi, her mother, and her older sister have been busy making clothes. My cousin Zhiqin has been assigned to work in a commercial building on Jincheng Commercial Street.
She was the only woman in the family who didn't have any free time.
Life is so boring!
Ugh, how boring!
"Yes, the main product is almost finished, and we've done most of the work. Only a few details remain." Qiao Zhiyi's complexion has also improved a lot recently, becoming rosier. Compared to her previous haggard appearance, she looks like a completely different person.
An Ning carefully examined Qiao Zhiyi. It seemed that her cousin Zhiyi had moved on from the Duan family affair.
That's true. I heard she's been so busy lately that she's barely having time to breathe. She, her mother, and her older sister have been working late into the night. How could they have time to be sentimental?
Her mother and eldest sister were so exhausted when they got back that they fell asleep immediately. It goes without saying that her cousin Zhiyi, with her frail health, would definitely not be able to handle it.
They probably don't have time to think about the Duan family's affairs at all.
"Cousin Ning, what are you eating?" Qiao Zhiyi looked at the fresh food on the plate and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, you mean this? I bought it on Jincheng Commercial Street. There's a candy store there that sells all kinds of candy."
You and your mother have been busy, so you probably don't know, but a new commercial street has mysteriously appeared in the Linghe Commercial District. It's already open, and you can find all sorts of strange and wonderful snacks and treats there. I bought this candy there.
It's a pity that no one was there to share this with me; I was just wandering around aimlessly by myself.
"Zhiyi, you should try it. It tastes really good, soft and sweet." Anning said with a sigh, her eyes lifeless, her face dull and listless, looking utterly hopeless.
Qiao Zhiyi picked one up and tasted it. The next time she looked at it, her eyes lit up.
"Hmm... This is a very special thing. It tastes good too. It's sweet, soft, and chewy. It's delicious."
An Ning nodded listlessly, "Oh, you think it's delicious? Then I'll go get you another pack later. I bought a lot of packs."
Qiao Zhiyi smiled.
"I heard that things are very expensive in Jincheng Commercial Street, this thing must be very expensive."
"Oh, it's alright, two taels of silver a pack," An Ning mechanically replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhiyi's smile froze. What?
This stuff, two taels of silver a pack?
Such an expensive thing! Is it even worth it?
Cousin Ning should know how much two taels of silver is, right?
"What's wrong, Cousin Zhiyi?" An Ning blinked and waved her hand in front of Qiao Zhiyi's eyes, clearly seeing Qiao Zhiyi's frozen face.
"Cousin Ning, this two-tael silver item is too... expensive."
An Ning paused, realizing that two taels of silver was indeed a lot of money in the past. She never even dared to imagine that she would one day squander two taels of silver so recklessly.
It has to be said that her younger sister has recently changed her mind, and she has completely lost her understanding of money.
With money to spend as they please, which of her brothers and sisters doesn't have a hundred or so taels of silver in pocket money?
My younger sister inserts them regularly every month.
The eldest sister and the second brother are alright, but she and the third brother spend money like water, they spend it recklessly.
Her mother saw it, and now she just gave them a reproachful look, telling them to be more frugal and not to spend so extravagantly.
In the past, her mother would have already lost her temper.
Wouldn't they beat her and her third brother to death?
She also saw her third brother run to her younger sister several times to ask for money, and her younger sister would give it to him without saying a word, always with a smile, and give him two hundred taels of silver at a time.
She was stunned by what she saw.
Their family's life is getting better and better.
The family is harmonious and happy, and there is no need to worry about money.
But she was incredibly bored. Having money to spend was a good thing, but having no friends to share it with made her quite sad.
My sister promised to find her a boyfriend, but it's still nowhere in sight.
Seeing how busy her younger sister was, she didn't want to bother her or ask her about it.
"That... isn't cheap either." She hadn't forgotten the poor days her family had lived in the past.
Back then, let alone two taels of silver, we didn't even have two coins.
When she thinks back to those hard times, she feels that her current extravagant spending is really too much.
But my younger sister said that life is about enjoying it while you can and doing whatever makes you comfortable.
One should be able to endure hardship, but also be able to enjoy happiness.
Don't worry about these material things; eat well, spend money, and have fun.
So... she's been going a bit crazy lately.
In that month, she spent two hundred taels of silver going to that commercial street.
However, she hadn't spent much of the money her younger sister had given her, and she still had several dozen taels of silver left over.
This mushy thing can't go on forever. Why doesn't she just use the money to do something with it?
Looking at Qiao Zhiyi, An Ning's eyes darted around, and she chuckled.
"Cousin Zhiyi, I'll go buy some fabric and embroidery thread another day, could you embroider some purses for me?"
"Embroidered purse?" Qiao Zhiyi asked in surprise.
An Ning nodded vigorously, "I'm so bored staying at home all by myself. You all have so many things to do, and I'm the only one with nothing to do. I feel like I'm going to get sick from being so idle. I want to do something. Could you embroider some more purses and handkerchiefs for me? I'll sell them later."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhiyi looked troubled. "Um... Cousin Ning, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really have no way to help you."
I signed a document with the Jincheng government, which means I can't just embroider things for others. So, the embroidered items can only be sent to the Jincheng government.
If it's just a small embroidery for yourself or as a gift, then I can embroider it for you.
If you were to sell this, and the officials in Jincheng found out that the embroidery you were selling was made by me, then I would be in a real predicament.
"From now on, I won't be able to do anything for the Jincheng government anymore."
