"I've suffered so much, I'm so sorry!" Xing'er quickly shook her head after hearing this. "It won't be so hard if I can see you again."
After a while, they arrived at the clothing store. She had come here to buy clothes when the store first opened, and now she came here again to buy clothes for Xing'er and the others.
The shopkeeper Zhang inside saw her with sharp eyes and couldn't help but feel curious. The last time this little girl was wearing tattered clothes, she bought several sets of clothes at once. She still remembered it and now she brought people to buy again. The material of the clothes she wore was also much better than last time.
"Miss, are you here to buy clothes again?" Tong Wenyao looked at Zhang the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Well, I came to your house to buy clothes. You are a kind family. The more you buy, the more gifts you get." Zhang the shopkeeper smiled and said, "If you said you want to buy a lot, then of course I should give you more gifts."
"Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Zhang. Let's pick one!"
Tong Wen Yao chose cotton clothes for Xing'er and Guo'er, and they are also wearing cotton clothes now. When Xing'er saw it, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Miss, you just spent a lot of money for us, you can't spend any more!" Tong Wen Yao asked with a cold face, "Why, you don't listen to me now?" Xing'er saw her expression and hurriedly shook her head. She wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Tong Wenyao relaxed and said, "Okay, just listen to me!" After that, she bought two sets of winter clothes for them! If she bought them, she would buy each of them a set of cotton and linen winter clothes, which was much cheaper than cotton cloth.
Because they were buying people, they needed food to eat, so Tong Bo went to buy food alone.
When they took off their old clothes and put on new clothes, everyone's face was filled with smiles. They were so warm. Although they only had one set of clothes, they were content.
However, Tong Wenyao bought two sets of winter clothes for the guards! The main consideration was that if they were to stand guard at night in the future, it would be much better to wear warmer clothes.
She took a fancy to the robe, which was light green, with a lot of white fox fur embroidered on the collar, and peony flowers embroidered in the middle of the robe, which looked lifelike. The inside was filled with cotton, which was very thick. Tong Wenyao liked it more and more, and asked Zhang the shopkeeper directly,
"How much does this dress cost?"
Shopkeeper Zhang was so happy when he saw it that he almost lost his sight. "This one is more expensive than anything you've bought! It costs sixty-six silver taels!" Tong Wenyao also thought it was expensive, but the more she looked at the embroidery on the robe, the more she liked it. She closed her eyes and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, take it away! If I can't see it, I won't like it!" Shopkeeper Zhang saw her expression and realized that she was reluctant to give it away. He smiled and said, "I can give you a discount of ten taels of silver!"
Tong Wenyao felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard this. She shook her head and said, "Manager Zhang, please take it away. Otherwise, I won't be able to bear it."
Seeing her like this, Shopkeeper Zhang did not force her. They had already bought quite a lot.
There were many choices, so she gave Guo'er a set directly, and also gave them some scraps of cloth to make shoes. Tong Wen Yao then noticed that their shoes were also tattered, and some of them could not even be recognized as a pair of shoes.
After paying, she bought two pairs of shoes for each person to change into. Because of the large quantity, the store also gave two extra pairs, which Tong Wenyao gave directly to the guards, which made him grateful. Their shoes wore out faster than others because they were often away from home for the master. This was the first time the master noticed that their shoes wore out faster than others!
If Tong Wen Yao knew about this, she would definitely say that she was overthinking it and that she was just doing it to match the two sets of clothes.
She considered that if they bought two sets of clothes, the cost would be too high, so she brought Xing'er to the cloth shop to select some cloth for them and let the woman who bought the cloth make the clothes. This was also the reason why she and Tong Bo told Tong Bo that they needed a woman who could sew!
As for the colors, most of the clothes are khaki or dark in color, which are resistant to dirt. The fabrics are also cotton and linen, which are not easy to tear during workmanship and are also cheap. Tong Wen Yao originally budgeted to make one set for each person, but since the price was cheap, she made two more sets for each person. She even bought a few pieces of brocade for her family so that they could make winter clothes for the New Year.
Thinking of the robes she had just seen in the store, Tong Wenyao went to select the fabrics for the robes. This time, she had bought all the fabrics for the robes for the whole family. Seeing that furs were on sale, she also bought a few types of furs, including furs for the collars.
The white rabbit fur can be used to make collars, and the gray fox fur can be used to make collars for her second uncle and eldest brother. She can also buy a few furs to make robes for the inside, which will also keep her warm. This way, it looks much better than what she saw in the store.
All in all, the total cost of the family's coats and furs was no more than fifty yuan. What a bargain! She couldn't help but admire herself for being such a good money saver.
After buying the clothes, because there were so many pieces, everyone had a huge pile in their hands. The smiles on their faces never stopped after they put on the new clothes.
After Tong Wenyao and Tong Bo met, Tong Bo looked at the people behind her and said, "Go to the car dealership and rent two ox carts to go back to Changzhen Village to send them back first. We will go back to Changjiang Village!"
Tong Wen Yao nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay." The task of renting an ox cart naturally fell to the guard. Tong Wen Yao gave him some money and asked him to go to the carriage shop to rent a horse carriage, and then meet at the county gate. It was not far from the county gate, so it would only take a short walk to get there. But to get to the carriage shop, one had to walk two roads to get there. This was also to test the guard's ability!
After waiting for about half an hour, the guard appeared at the county gate with two ox carts. He said apologetically, "I'm late." Tong Wen Yao knew that he had just come out and was not familiar with the city, and it had not been long, so she didn't blame him much.
Everyone behind them got on the oxcart. Xing'er and Guo'er sat in the front of the carriage, while Tong Bo and Tong Wenyao sat in the middle. This time, Xing'er refused to get in the carriage no matter what. Xing'er knew that if she got in, the young master might save face and sit in the front of the carriage in the cold wind.
The carriage arrived at Changzhen Village. After getting off the carriage, she stopped Aqiu and asked him to go in and ask Uncle Du to come out. She did not go in herself. After the ox cart arrived, everyone in the car got off and followed Tong Wenyao with some reserve.
After a while, Uncle Du came out, "Young Master, you're back?" Tong Wenyao didn't bother to greet him and said, "Uncle Du, you said you were short of people before, so I went to the county to buy some people. These two are guards.
The two stood in front of Tong Wenyao with their heads held high. When they bought the clothes, they chose gray clothes. After the guards put them on, their auras improved a lot. Tong Wenyao looked at the two guards with admiration.
But Wen Ziyu saw this scene and thought to herself, "Why aren't you looking at me? Am I not as good-looking as those two?"
