Chapter 349 First Arrival in the Capital

Before the Yu family came to Beijing, Bo Ge'er had already sent people to the capital to make arrangements and rented a courtyard for the whole family to stay temporarily.

Fan Pingfang also said goodbye to the Yu family.

Before she came, she sold some of her dowry and brought some money with her. She now planned to live in an inn first, freeing up her money to slowly look for a suitable house to rent or buy.

Fan Pingfang looked cheerful. She hugged Xingxing, took Lingjie'er, a maid and a woman-servant, and left the Yu family's carriage team.

The courtyard that Bo Ge'er had someone arrange for them to temporarily stay in was a house with three courtyards. It wasn't very big, but it was big enough for the Yu family.

The main advantage of this house is its good location. It is located in a prosperous area. It is not far from where dignitaries live, and the public security here is also good.

Bo Ge'er's people had cleaned up the house in advance, so when the Yu family arrived, they could move in directly.

Even hot water was available.

Mrs. Wei was quite satisfied. After driving for days, they finally settled down. She first took her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to take a hot bath, and asked her sons to bring the servants to settle the luggage.

Grandma Daxi didn't like dealing with people and preferred a quiet life, so Xingxing specially picked a house in a remote area of ​​the garden for Grandma Daxi.

Bo Ge'er had probably given instructions long ago, so this remote house was tidied up neatly, with all the bedding and other things in place, and the windows were bright and clean, and it was obvious that it had been swept and dusted today.

Da Xi Si Po was very satisfied, and without saying a word she picked up her luggage and moved in.

Xingxing wanted to leave her a maid, but she refused and kept driving Xingxing out, telling her to go back and take a bath and rest.

Daxi Sipo even instructed: "Just send the food to me directly in the future. You have too many family members and too many children. The noise is giving me a headache."

Xing Xing responded helplessly: "Yes, yes, yes."

By the time the Yu family arrived in the capital, the strong wind had died down a lot, and by the time they had checked in, it was already late.

Everyone washed up and rested in the new house and had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone got up and no one could stay in the house. Except for Mrs. Wei, who was older and wanted to rest at home for another day, everyone else went out for a walk.

Huai'er went to report to the Ministry of War, Liu'er also wanted to visit the nearby academy, Bai'er was in charge of the Yu family's business, and he had a lot of things to deal with on the road these days. The same was true for Gui'er, who disappeared as soon as he arrived in the capital.

Xingxing also wanted to go out and play, so Li Chunhua came over and hugged her: "Come on, Xingxing, come with us for a walk. Let's take a look at the new clothes in the capital, buy some cloth, and make some new clothes."

Xingxing naturally agreed.

The older brothers all had their own things to do, so Su Rouer pulled Ju Ge'er over and asked him to accompany the other female relatives to go shopping.

Ju Ge'er looked at his mother, then at Xing Xing, and responded helplessly, calling out to Zhao Meng: "A Meng, ask your mother if she wants to go?"

However, Zhao Meng's mother refused with a smile, saying that she also wanted to rest for a few more days.

Ah Wu came over holding Xu Ge'er in his arms: "Si Yang is going shopping with his brothers. Sisters-in-law, I'm quite familiar with this part of Beijing, I'll take you for a walk."

So, in the end, Li Chunhua, Bai Xiaofeng, Su Rouer, with their brothers Xing Xing, Ju Er, Bang Er, Mian Er, followed by A Wu and Xu Er, the whole family went to the market in a mighty procession.

When Ah Wu knew that the sisters-in-law wanted to buy some cloth to make clothes, she first took them to a street where there were more cloth shops.

"Many of the cloth shops on this street are old shops. The tailors there have excellent skills. Many wealthy families invite them to their homes to have their clothes tailored to their needs." Ah Wu introduced.

Li Chunhua and the others were dazzled.

"Wow, this piece of fabric suits you very well. The pattern is so pretty!"

"This cloth is pretty good, it feels smooth and very comfortable!"

The sisters-in-law were busy picking up the cloth.

However, the shop assistants saw that they were wearing clothes made of materials that were not very fashionable in the capital, and looked at the jewelry on their heads and thought that the Yu family was some poor family that had moved to the city.

The waiter curled his lips and was not very sincere in his hospitality.

When Li Chunhua took a piece of cloth and asked about the material, she asked three times before the clerk lazily told her where the material came from and how much it cost.

Finally, he deliberately looked Li Chunhua up and down and made a "tsk" sound.

That attitude is just short of just saying you can't afford it and give it up.

Xing Xing was not very happy and pulled Li Chunhua's hand: "Aunt, we won't buy it here anymore."

Li Chunhua was carefree, and although she didn't quite notice the other party's attitude, she always doted on Xingxing. When Xingxing said she didn't want to buy it, she put the cloth down and responded crisply with "OK".

Naturally, the other members of the Yu family also put down the cloth in their hands.

There is no need to consider other people’s expressions before buying something!

The Yu family members rushed out of the store.

The cloth shop clerk sighed and muttered, "He looks like he has little money, but he's got a bad temper."

The cloth shop owner had an unhappy look on his face, but he and his employee shared the same opinion that these poor people could not afford cloth, so he did not blame the employee.

However, when the Yu family left the cloth shop, Xingxing took them and went straight to the cloth shop opposite.

Xingxing had just noted down the pieces of cloth that the elders liked, and had them assembled right away after entering the store.

The doors of the two shops were facing each other, and the shopkeeper of the first cloth shop saw it clearly. The little girl among the passers-by actually let someone pack more than ten pieces of cloth for her without even blinking an eye!

More than a dozen!

The clerk at the first store swallowed his saliva, not daring to look at the shopkeeper's face which was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and trembled as he said, "He must be pretending... It must be fake, how can ordinary people buy like this..."

The shopkeeper had a gloomy face and said nothing.

As a result, they saw that little girl took out a banknote from her waist and paid the money without blinking!

They bought only the finest silks and satins; these dozen pieces cost them three hundred taels of silver!

Three hundred taels!

But the little girl didn't even blink!

They could even hear the older people in that household, who were used to it, saying with a smile, "Xingxing is spending money again."

Obviously, this family did not think that these few hundred taels were a large sum of money!

Xingxing smiled and told the owner of the second store, Le Kaihua, the address and asked them to deliver the packaged cloth directly to that address. The owner of the second store agreed with a smile on his face.

When the owner of the first store heard the address, his eyes almost spit fire, and he turned around and raised his hand to hit the clerk!

The clerk wailed and quickly dodged to apologize: "...No, boss, I, I didn't expect that they were dressed like that and actually had money..."

The location of the house, no matter whether the other party rented or bought it, can only mean one thing - the other party is rich!

The owner of the first store was heartbroken after losing three hundred taels of silver in one go!

It's all this guy's fault!
