The two then went to the cloth shop, where, coincidentally, Old Mrs. Yu and Hua Yuqing were also there.
They saw Yang Cui and Cen Xiao walk in side by side. Cen Xiao was carrying pastries from Pinxiangzhai, while Yang Cui was carefully selecting children's clothes. The two looked like a perfect couple.
Seeing this, they finally believed Yang Cui's words.
"Grandma, Madam, we have some newly arrived Huanhua brocade. Would you like to take a couple of bolts back to make clothes?" The shopkeeper enthusiastically recommended Huanhua brocade to Grandma Yu and Hua Yuqing.

“That’s right, this Huanhua brocade is unique to Jinzhou. I just brought this from Jinzhou yesterday. Would you like to buy a bolt to make clothes?”

Calculating the time, it hasn't been long since the Shen family's accident. Yang Cui thought that if she took the opportunity to stock up on more Huanhua brocade and then resold it in three or four months, she would definitely make a fortune!
But a bolt of cloth costs twelve taels of silver, and I don't have enough money to buy many bolts of cloth right now. Am I just going to watch this opportunity to make money slip away?
