Chapter 38: Turning Reactive into Proactive
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Li Tingyu opened his eyes.
Today she is going to collect money from Shopkeeper Luo. It was the first amount of money she had earned on her own in this strange country.
Li Tingyu couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and woke up early.
Ah~ It wasn't the sun that woke her up~ It was the smell of money~
"Miss, why do you get up so early?" Hearing the movement inside, Peony, who was resting outside, hurriedly got up and waited for her young lady to freshen up.
After freshening up, the sky is bright.
Li Tingyu looked at the three big girls in the house, ordered gold and peony, and the two accompanied her to Muyuan Hall to ask for peace.
Jin Zi is bold, has experience in going out of the house, Peony is careful, and the relationship between the top and bottom of the Harmony Yuan Hall is very good.
These two people accompanied her to say goodbye, and just went to Shopkeeper Luo's for a trip.
Yuegui didn't know what Li Tingyu was thinking in his heart, but when she heard Li Tingyu order the other two, her heart suddenly became nervous, and her face was a little unsightly.
In the past, she and Peony accompanied the young lady to say goodbye.
Kaneko looked at the laurel and puffed up her little chest proudly. Look, Miss values her the most, and it's not in vain that she ran out of the house in the middle of the night to find a doctor for Miss.
As for the peony, for the sake of taking care of the eldest lady for her last time, she reluctantly accepted her as the second maid next to the eldest lady.
Peony didn't know that her status in Jinzi's heart had improved, and she silently followed.
Jin Zi held his back and followed behind Li Tingyu majestically. It wasn't like asking for peace, it was like going to war.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Liang and Li Tingxuan, I don't know what the three of them said last night, and today they have recovered as before.
Zhao's hind feet also followed into Muyuan Hall. After the group greeted the old lady, Li Tingyu took out the house rules he had copied.
"Grandmother, Yu'er knows that she is wrong." Li Tingyu stood up and handed the copied thick pile of house rules to the old lady, and Xiangmei hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.
This good attitude of admitting mistakes made the old lady feel a lot more comfortable, and the juniors were still obedient.
"It's good to know what you're wrong and don't make it again in the future." The old lady nodded and motioned for her to sit down.
Li Tingyu didn't sit down, but took a step forward and said, "Grandmother, my wedding ceremony is coming, can I go buy some new clothes." ”
Liang and Li Tingxuan glanced at each other, coming, Li Tingxuan was about to leave the house.
They stared at the back door for so long, and no one in Pinglan Yuan ever went out again. Now Li Tingyu is going out openly.
The old lady looked at Li Tingyu and remembered that today is March 29, and next month 18 will be the fifteenth birthday of her eldest granddaughter.
Dongcang women are fifteen years old, and when they are fifteen years old, they need to hold a ceremony to celebrate their adulthood, symbolizing that they can get married.
"Go ahead. Go to the bookkeeper and pay ten taels of silver, and make some beautiful new clothes. The old lady was still angry with her and didn't want to talk to her.
However, Li Tingyu is always the eldest granddaughter of the Li family, and he naturally can't be sloppy. The old lady began to wonder who to invite to be her guest and praiser.
"Thank you, grandmother." Li Tingyu achieved his goal and sat back.
"Grandmother, Xuan'er also wants new clothes." Li Tingxuan said coquettishly to the old lady.
"Okay, Xuan'er will accompany your eldest sister to go shopping." The old lady doted on her granddaughter the most, and readily agreed.
"Grandmother, we want it too~" When the girls in the second room heard that there was such a good thing, they were naturally not far behind.
Finally, the old lady waved her hand, and all of them played accurately, and let them all follow.
Every month, the princess has a monthly silver for the girls to tailor, one tael per person. Li Tingyu belongs to a special situation, so she got a lot more than everyone.
Looking at the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of others, Li Tingyu didn't care, she just wanted to hurry up and get her money.
After Li Tingxuan and Li Tingyi put on their hats, the group was divided into two groups. The one in the big room sits in the carriage in front, and the one in the second room sits in the carriage in the back.
That's how I came to Chunxi Street. The coachman put the man down and drove the carriage to the corner to wait.
They passed by a shop called Xiuyuefang, and every piece of cloth in it was very beautiful.
"Big sister, let's go in and have a look." The sixth girl, Li Tingxi, pouted to go in, she didn't have a chance to go to this place on weekdays, so she must go in and have a look today.
"Okay." Li Tingyu was the first to enter the store.
As soon as the group entered the store, the store was full, and a dozen people were in the store, making it look like business was booming.
A few juniors in the store didn't expect so many customers to come at once, so they hurried up to introduce the fabrics in the store in detail.
The cloth inside looked very valuable, and although the little girls had money in their hands, they could not afford everything.
Listening to the price quoted by the shopkeepers, several girls smiled a little reluctantly. Only Li Tingyu looked as usual, anyway, his grandmother gave the silver without spending it in vain.
Embroidery Moon Fang is a famous cloth shop in Jindu, and even the most difficult Yunjin they have here, but the price is also a lot higher than other shops.
Li Tingxuan followed Li Tingxuan closely, she had a purpose today, she had to figure out what Li Tingxuan was going out for.
Li Tingfang was extremely timid and didn't dare to look around, so she followed closely behind her two sisters. The three girls in the second room were picking and relish in the corners they could afford.
Li Tingxuan looked at Li Tingxuan, who was also following closely, and she simply took the cloth seriously.
A piece of cloth is four feet long, that is, forty feet, and one foot is three meters three. So a piece of cloth is about thirteen meters.
"How does the second sister look at this?" Li Tingyu pointed to a begonia red brocade and asked seriously.
The clothes of the women should be dressed in bright colors. The crimson is too light, the red is too bright, and the begonia red is just right.
It's both festive and lively, and it's very suitable for a woman of this age.
"It's good-looking, this color lining big sister." Li Tingxuan replied a little politely, she just wanted to find out what Li Tingxuan was doing when she left the house, and she didn't care about these fabrics.
"Miss really has a vision, this brocade belongs to our embroidery moon workshop, you can't find it in other houses. We only sell three taels of silver a horse. Xiao Er saw that Li Tingyu had the intention of buying, and hurriedly touted his own fabric.
"Then so be it." Li Tingyu had the silver in his hand, and he didn't feel distressed when he bought things.
"Okay." Xiao Er happily wrapped the cloth for her, he liked this kind of refreshing guest. It's not like those over there, who asked the price several times, and didn't buy it for a long time.
"Isn't the second sister going to buy a book for Rui'er? Let's go together. Li Tingxuan couldn't get rid of Li Tingxuan, so he simply turned passive into active.
Li Tingxuan was stunned for a moment when asked, didn't she want to follow Li Tingxuan, how did she become Li Tingxuan to follow her.
"I don't know which bookstore can buy the book Rui'er wants?" Li Tingyu continued to ask.
"Uh, it seems to be called Wen Moju." Li Tingxuan finally came back to her senses.
Li Tingyu threw a look at Jinzi, and Jin Zi instantly understood.
"Miss, my stomach hurts. I'll go to the hut first. ”
"You're gluttonous, what are you stealing again, hurry up. I'll look for us in Wenmoju later. Li Tingxuan affectionately grabbed Li Tingxuan's arm, "Second sister, let's go." ”
Seeing that Li Tingyu and Li Tingxuan were leaving, the others didn't pick it anymore, and hurriedly left. There are so many cloth shops on this street, I'm afraid there is nothing else to pick from.
