Chapter 156 Found

Chen smiled.

She was really satisfied with Lian'er. She was capable and loyal to Xiao Fei.

She winked at Li Chunhua, who stood up and pulled Lian'er up. Chen smiled and said, "You, girl, our family is not a wealthy family, so you don't have to kneel down all the time. Okay, let's go to the city later."

After dinner, Lian'er and Li Chunhua cleaned up the dishes and Lanzhi wiped the table.

Gu Fei pulled her mother into the house and handed her a few silver bills, "Mom, you will still be in charge of the family's money in the future. I didn't give it to you on the road because I was afraid it would be lost."

Chen was shocked when she took it. She still recognized a few numbers. The total amount of these silver bills was two hundred taels.

"So much?"

Chen thought for a moment, "I'll take some out for use first. I'm afraid of losing so much money if I keep it here. I'll ask you for more when I spend it all."

She took out a fifty-liang silver note and returned the rest to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei put it in her arms and took Chen's arm, "Mom, let's go. We've been here for a few days and haven't had a good look around Ping'an City yet."

Chen was also happy, "Let's go, let's get some cloth back. It's the New Year and we all have to buy new clothes."

After a while, the family drove three mule carts into the city.

First, they went to the government office to get Lian'er's indenture. Chen broke the silver note, sent Gu Zhang and Erlang Sanlang to buy charcoal basins and candles, left Gu Qing to drive the cart for them, and took a few women into the cloth shop.

As soon as she entered the cloth shop, Chen felt uncomfortable.

She didn't feel it on the street before, but there were mostly female customers in this cloth shop.

In winter, the women in the south wear long quilted jackets, fur coats, and skirts. Some wear quilted capes or fur coats outside, which they take off when they enter the house. They look slim and graceful.

Unlike the women from the north, who wear sheepskin coats and cotton trousers, which are as rustic as they can be.

Gu Fei pulled her mother and whispered, "Mom, why don't we buy cloth and buy ready-made clothes? We can't make the southern styles for a while, and there is no time to make clothes for so many people in the family."

"Just buy some flowered cloth for Xiaocao."

Chen hesitated for a moment, "Okay, then let's go to see the ready-made clothes."

Several people turned to the other side to look at the ready-made clothes.

There were all kinds of ready-made clothes hanging here, not only fine cotton cloth but also silk brocade, with a variety of colors, dazzling to the eyes.

The lady at the counter smiled, "What do you ladies need?"

Chen pointed at Gu Fei, "Find two sets of clothes for my daughter to wear at this time of year."

The lady finally understood Chen's dialect and said with a smile, "Oh, this little girl is as pretty as a flower, she must dress up well."

She brought several sets, Gu Fei tried them on, and finally Chen decided to buy two sets, one of which was a long quilted jacket with red crabapple flowers, paired with a scarlet long skirt, this festive set was kept for the New Year.

The other set was a lilac long jacket with a lilac long skirt.

Gu Fei put on this set, the size was particularly suitable, Chen looked left and right, and just wondered why her daughter was so beautiful, well, it was from me.

Chen didn't let Gu Fei take it off, "Just wear it like this, don't wear that sheepskin coat, it makes my daughter ugly."

Gu Fei was happily looking at herself in the big bronze mirror, when an abrupt voice sounded behind her, "Little Miss Fei——"
