Chapter 107 Shopping

After returning to the house, Chen Afu arranged the satins given by shopkeeper Luo. In addition to the six pieces of whole materials that are to be taken back home to make clothes in the embroidery workshop, there are still some scattered materials left.

Comparing the size of the materials, Chen Afu decided to make Alu a navy blue half-sleeved long-breasted dress, and Dabao a moon-white gown. Thinking that Chen Agui and the Gao family were both very nice people, I made Da Ya a small blue coat and a small goose-yellow skirt.

I gave Chen Aman the light crimson and snow-white satin, which can be made into a white tunic and light crimson skirt, which can be paired with a blue half-sleeved double-breasted jacket.

Mrs. Wang asked Chen Afu to make a half-sleeved jacket from the more than three feet of red satin. Chen Afu nodded. Although the bright red bra is a bit too bright, it still looks good if it is made slightly shorter and paired with a moon-white middle coat and long skirt. I have some white satin at home and will make it when I get home.

The piece of dark green satin was used to make a quilted waistcoat for Wang.

Chen Aman held the two pieces of satin and was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes.

Chen Afu likes this lovable and hard-working little cousin very much. It would be great if she lived in Xiangluo Village. He would have many younger sisters and best friends that he could talk to. Although Alan is good, because of Hu and her introverted personality, the two are never close.

A few people sat in the hut doing needlework until Ms. Zhang called them to have dinner.

After dinner, Chen Dabao was sent back by Qing Bo.

In his hand, he also carried two packs of candies sent by Chu Mansion, eight pens and four ink strips. He took out two more purses from his arms and said they were from Lord Chu. Each purse contained six two-coin silver coins.

Chen Afu took a bag of candies, two pens, and two pieces of ink and gave them to Chen Shi. Chen Shi didn't ask for the candy and asked her to keep it and give it away to her hometown. People in the countryside must be curious about the food in the city, not to mention that these candies are from the capital and provincial capitals. He accepted the two pens and two pieces of ink, saying that both pens and ink were good things and would be kept for Chen Atang to use when he takes the scholar examination.

In the evening, Dabao, who was lying on the kang, told them that Mr. Chu was like an old boy, he especially liked sweets, especially snowballs, glutinous rice and jujubes, and he said that he should make more of these sweet jujubes. Moreover, except for a few snowball glutinous rice dates for sister Yan'er, he didn't allow anyone else to eat them. Even Uncle Chu tasted two and he scolded him, saying that Uncle Chu was such a big man but still so greedy...

The words made several people laugh. Chen Afu must have felt extremely happy thinking about the serious Chu Lingxuan being scolded for being greedy.

The next day, Chen Afu and Dabao were accompanied by Chen Ayu to play in the streets and buy things for their hometown. I’m going back the day after tomorrow, and I have so many relatives and friends to see off.

Wang doesn't like shopping, and Chen Afu doesn't want her to go. Now that Dingzhou Prefecture has just changed its magistrate, notices are posted everywhere, and the people are often talking about it.

Before leaving, Mrs. Wang gave Chen Afu three taels of silver and said, "You have spent so much money, just use this silver to buy things. You already have a silver hairpin, remember to give it to your uncle and Brother Agui is buying something good that he can get..."

Chen Shi also gave Chen Ayu a few coins and a few hundred Wen, so that he could pay better. He would pay for all the food and snacks on the street. In addition, he would buy some nice gifts for Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye. . Ah Fu is a girl and Dabao is small, so he needs to walk less and ride more in the car...

Chen Ayu said, "My son knows."

Chen Aman still wanted to play with him, but Mrs. Zhang did not agree and said angrily, "I don't understand. Your brother is not at home. Who will do the work if you leave?"

Chen Aman had to go to the kitchen to wash the dates with tears in her eyes. Now the grocery store at home has begun to sell this kind of snack, which is very popular.

The tour guide Chen Ayu was very competent. He first took them to visit the military and government office gate of Dingzhou Prefecture. He knew that all the people who came from the countryside wanted to see what the houses where high officials lived looked like. I can't see the house, but I'm satisfied just looking at the gate.

Because of the special strategic location of Dingzhou Prefecture, although it is not a provincial capital, there is still a general army, and Chu Lingxuan is the general under the general army. The prefect of Dingzhou is also the fourth grade, unlike other prefects except provincial capitals, who are only from the fourth grade or the fifth grade, and even small prefectures in remote places are still the sixth grade.

Dabao's eyes were filled with awe when he saw the majestic General Military Office from afar and the soldiers in military uniforms holding swords and guns at the door. Asked Chen Afu, "Mom, is Uncle Chu doing business there?"

Chen Afu said uncertainly, "Well, it's possible. Mom doesn't know."

After looking at the majestic red gate, I turned around and looked at the tall courtyard wall. Chen Ayu summoned a mule cart and several people rode for a few streets before arriving at the prefect's Yamen.

The people guarding the gate are not soldiers, but government officials, and they are equally majestic.

Chen Ayu said to Yourong Yan, "I heard that the new magistrate is from our Sanqing County. His hometown is in Zhaojia Village, Linfeng Town, only a few miles away from Xiangluo Village."

Chen Ayu and his two siblings grew up in Fucheng. The whole Xiangluo Village knew that Chen Juren was once the Wang family's youngest son-in-law, but he had no idea at all.

Chen Afu snorted coldly, "No matter how close we are, he won't recognize us. Let's go."

A high-ranking official from Zhaojia Village in Linfeng Town? Chen Dabao's smart mind turned a few times and he felt that something was wrong. Before his little brain could react, his mother took him away and said he was going to eat something delicious. The delicious food immediately drove away the confusion in Dabao's head, and he hurriedly walked away with his mother on his short legs.

Seeing that her cousin was not interested in her idol, Chen Ayu had no choice but to follow her away in frustration. He didn't know why, but he went home excitedly a few days ago and told his parents. They didn't say anything if they weren't interested, and they didn't allow him to talk about these important events at home.

They took a car and went directly to the most prosperous West Street in Dingzhou Prefecture. Chen Afu had come here several times before, but he had no time to think about anything. Now, everything that needed to be done was done, and this day was pure fun and shopping, so Chen Afu and Dabao had a very relaxing time.

Whenever Dabao said he wanted to eat something, Chen Ayu would rush to pay for it, and resolutely refused to let Chen Afu pay, and said confidently, "There are men here, how can a woman pay for it."

Dabao was also sensible, and the food he wanted was not expensive. It not only took care of Chen Ayu's face, but also didn't let him spend too much.

Chen Afu also bought some snacks, candies, pens and ink, hair flowers, and ribbons, and bought a camel-colored silk dress for Chen Ye and Chen Agui. At the same time, he also bought a dress of this inferior quality silk for each of his family members. Satin is too gorgeous, and it is only suitable for New Year and festivals.

In view of Chen Ye's status in Chen Ming's mind, he still bought Chen Ye a jade-mouthed pinewood pipe, which cost only one tael and two coins of silver.

The few people played until the sun was setting, and then went home contentedly.

The next morning, Luo Fang said that a carriage would come to pick them up to Chu Mansion tomorrow morning, and then go back to the countryside together. He also said that the old marquis had taken almost all the glutinous rice dates, and his uncle asked Chen Afu to make some more for Sister to eat on the road.

Then, he took out ten kilograms of dates.
