They had several different types of cabinets to choose from, including those made of rosewood, mahogany, and sandalwood, each with unique carvings.
"Please take a look, gentlemen. This is a three-section cabinet made of huanghuali wood. This side is a red lacquer carved and inlaid cabinet, and this side is a three-section cabinet with auspicious patterns."
"These models have different patterns, different materials, and different prices."
"The three-section cabinet made of huanghuali wood is five taels of silver, the one with red lacquer carving and inlaid silk is eight taels of silver, and the three-section cabinet with auspicious patterns is only three taels and four mace."
"Sir, you can discuss this with your wife; there's no need to make a decision right now."
Cheng Qingyan smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, shopkeeper. I'll discuss it with my wife."
"My lady, is there anything here that you like?"
Ye Lingyu opened the cabinet, looked inside, and then smelled it: "Two of each of the auspicious pattern and huanghuali styles, please."
Two of each, that makes four.
Their new home has four guest rooms and one master bedroom, for a total of five rooms.
Of course, this excludes storage rooms and woodsheds, as well as all kinds of rooms.
"Wife, what about our room? Should we get a nicer cabinet for our room?"
"The cabinets in our house were only bought a couple of months ago, so we don't need to replace them yet."
Well, they never even considered getting anything new for their own rooms!
Her wife had her reasons for doing this. Since there were outsiders present, she couldn't press for details; she could only wait until they got home.
Later, through Ji Ren's introduction, a desk was provided for the guest room, and a bookcase was provided for Mu Zhiyue, etc.
Needless to say, everything else that came to mind was purchased from Ji Ren in one go.
After all the items were discounted, it still cost her more than five hundred taels of silver.
Money is really easy to spend.
Ji Ren's wood and pottery workshop was not the only furniture shop in town. On their way to Spruce Workshop, they encountered other furniture shops, but Cheng Qingyan and her companions did not go in.
Perhaps some items were missed in this purchase, but it's not a big problem, and we don't need to put the furniture in right now.
The house isn't finished yet; it'll probably take another ten days or so.
They also agreed with Ji Ren that the furniture she bought would be delivered to Mengjia Village in half a month. Even if the house was completed within half a month, they would not move in immediately.
Summer is here, so we need to buy some summer clothes for Hongyu and Muzhiyue.
Cheng Qingyan, Ye Lingyu, and Jiang Jiang also didn't have any clothes for this summer, so they decided to buy them together this time.
The shopkeeper of Yunshanfang already knew Cheng Qingyan, since every time he came, he would buy everything from the inside out, from top to bottom, instead of just two pieces of clothing.
They don't just buy clothes for one person; they buy clothes for at least three people each time.
For these big customers who buy ten or more outfits each time, she wished she could have someone carry them into the store when Cheng Qingyan came over.
Of course, Ji Ren wished he could personally carry all the things she bought at Ji Ren Furniture Shop home for her.
Manager Ning Yu is a well-known beauty in this area, and Yunshanfang's business is conducted honestly and fairly, without any instances of selling inferior goods or deceiving customers.
Among all these shops, this one is considered quite conscientious.
After several encounters with her, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu had come to understand her to some extent.
It might be criticized to say that a businessman has a conscience. But it's undeniable that because there are so many unscrupulous merchants, encountering someone who does business honestly is considered exceptionally precious.
Actually, not making money by dishonest means is a rule that businessmen should abide by. It's just that Ning Yu's honest shop is really only able to stand out because of its peers.
When Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu entered the store, Ning Yu was sewing custom-made clothes for a customer inside the room.
Upon seeing Cheng Qingyan, such a big client, he immediately put down his work and treated her to the best tea and water.
"Young master, did you bring your wife and young lady here this time to buy some summer clothes?"
"Yes, the four of us, plus Chu Ying's summer clothes. By the way, she should have grown taller now, but she hasn't gained weight."
"Given our body types, let's each get three sets."
"There is another elder, a man, about my height. He has five sets of summer clothes, and three outer garments for spring and autumn."
"Let's leave it at that for now. Next time, if the shop has any good fabric that's suitable for my wife, remember to make it according to her measurements and have someone deliver it directly to Cheng Qingyan's house in Mengjia Village."
Ah, she still dotes on her wife like this; the young couple are truly in love.
It has been more than half a year since I first met them.
The couple's relationship remained as good as ever.
Ning Yu carefully recorded the clothes Cheng Qingyan needed. High-end customers like Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu had their own exclusive pages.
They meticulously recorded various data about their bodies, such as height, arm length, and clothing length.
When Hongyu heard that she also had a few new clothes, she quickly declined, saying, "My lord, you should buy new clothes for Jiangjiang and the madam. I will buy some fabric and sew them myself."
Ye Lingyu smiled and patted her hand: "Hongyu, don't refuse. Ayan bought it for you, so just accept it."
Having spent the last few years being mistreated at Wang Tiezhu's house, Hongyu no longer has any decent clothes left.
Even the clothes he wore when he served Ye Lingyu were sold off, leaving him only in coarse cloth clothes.
She was still wearing Ye Lingyu's old clothes. How could the whole family get new clothes but not hers?
Jiang Jiang started eating as soon as she entered the town. Now her belly was full and she couldn't eat anymore. She leaned lazily against Ye Lingyu's leg.
She yawned, took Hongyu's hand, and shook it: "Aunt Hongyu, let Daddy buy you new clothes~ Then Jiangjiang and Aunt Hongyu can wear new clothes together~"
Hongyu affectionately patted Jiangjiang's head: "Okay~ I'll listen to Jiangjiang~"
After Ning Yu helped them decide on the color and style of the clothes, she checked the number of pieces and styles with Cheng Qingyan and the others.
Everyone's body shape is different. Some clothes that look good on someone may not fit them as well.
Therefore, after the measurements are finalized, some clothes need to be altered to fit different body sizes or lengths.
Ning Yu flipped through the notebook and handed it to Ye Lingyu to confirm again: "My lord, my wife, let's settle on these terms then. I'll expedite the process for you."
She finally understood that although Cheng Qingyan made all the decisions about buying things, whether or not the purchases would actually be made ultimately depended on Ye Lingyu.
So after a few times, she got used to it and skipped Cheng Qingyan's step, handing over the decision-making power to Ye Lingyu.
And Cheng Qingyan did not disappoint her, never interfering in the matter.
She took it all in stride, as if letting Ye Lingyu make the decisions was perfectly natural.
