I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei went to the kitchen and took out a corn pancake and spread some dry yellow sauce on it.

Looking down, I saw the green vegetables that Mrs. Huang had pulled from the yard in Mingyi Lane.

The green vegetables in the backyard have grown out, and the two bunches of vegetables are growing well.

Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin have already eaten.

It's edible, but it tastes a bit bitter and some white water comes out, but I don't know its name.

Ji Xiaobei knew that Zheng Guo loved to eat this, and she said it was called Yunnan bitter vegetable.

Ji Xiaobei picked up two bitter herbs, washed them, washed a wild onion, and rolled them into the pancake.

I took a big bite, it was delicious!

"It's not even noon yet and you're hungry again?"

Mrs. Huang asked.

"I'm going out for a while, so don't cook lunch for me!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"Bei, has Xiaoyao delivered the pattern? We have bought a lot of fabrics and silk pendants. What should we do next?"

Mrs. Lin walked in and asked.

"That's what I was going to say. First, ask Tailor Guo and Madam Luo to make a set of clothes for each of us!"

Ji Xiaobei said.

Thinking that my shop has not opened yet, I have to make clothes for my family first.

Mrs. Lin was so distressed that she was sobbing.

He opened his mouth and persuaded her: "Bei, our family has clothes, don't waste the cloth, just keep it and sell it."

"We can just use ordinary fabrics. You, Mrs. Huang, Tailor Guo, Lady Luo, Xiao Zhuozi and Caixia can all make one. We run a tailor shop, so the family members should wear the clothes we make first!"

Mrs. Lin knew that her rebuttal was futile and could only nod.

Xiaozhuo and Caixia are two servants sent by Jiaojiao. They are hardworking and clean the house inside and out.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Huang felt much more relieved.

The fat waiter who received Ji Xiaobei was sitting at the small table.

Caixia was quite familiar with Ji Xiaobei. When Ji Xiaobei lived in Ruo's house, she was the one who took care of Ji Xiaobei's daily life.

When they heard their master ask them to serve Miss Ji, they both nodded without thinking.

Miss Ji is the elder sister of the young master and the young mistress, and there is no difference between her and serving the master.

After he and Caixia arrived, they discovered that there were no rules in Miss Ji's family.

The servants can actually eat the same meals as their masters.

If Miss Ji made a mistake, Mrs. Lin would scold her.

Seeing Ji Deyan and Xiao Juanmao being naughty, Mrs. Lin chased them with a feather duster.

Xiaozhuo and Caixia did not do their job well, so Mrs. Lin scolded them in person.

The two of them did not feel aggrieved, but rather felt very happy. They wanted nothing more than to have the same treatment as their master.

Old Madam Lin did not treat them as outsiders.

But they knew very well that they were slaves and followed the rules.

In the backyard, a small table was pulling a freshly washed donkey cart, and Ma Debiao with smooth fur came over.

"Miss Ji, I'll be waiting for you outside!" the waiter said respectfully.

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

"I'm going to go out for a while and take a look at Rong'an Street. We will open our clothing store on Rong'an Street in the future."

"Where? Rong'an Street?" Mrs. Lin's eyes widened. "Can we afford to rent that place?"

"Yes, we can afford it!"

Ji Xiaobei answered calmly.

Old Mrs. Fu, who was sitting in the rocking chair next to her, was rocking herself for her own amusement. When she heard Ji Xiaobei's words, she looked at her approvingly.

Under Mrs. Lin's astonished gaze, Ji Xiaobei walked out of the yard.

Tailor Guo and Mrs. Luo are in charge of the ready-made clothes in the shop, and they can tailor them for customers. Their skills are no worse than those of the tailors at Yueyifang.

She also wanted to continue Zheng Guo's order.

She has asked Fu Jichang to replicate the pattern at home, but she doesn't know what this guy is busy with recently and she can't see him anymore.

There has been no news from Zheng Guo recently.

She said that day that she and Zhang Hong went to the countryside again, and Zhang Hong was investigating a case.

She followed him into the country, in search of some stoves for the winter, some fur blankets, and the like, and to get the bow and arrows she had ordered from the country blacksmith.

Ji Xiaobei asked her to make a few bows and arrows and put them in the space in case of emergency.

Anzhou is stable now, but who knows when banditry will occur again? We must be careful in our lives and be prepared for any eventuality.

Ji Xiaobei sat on the donkey cart with his eyes closed, thinking about his problems.

The small table drove Ma Debiao steadily.

When they arrived at Rong'an Street, Ji Xiaobei asked the small table to slow down. She opened the curtain and looked at the shops on both sides of Rong'an Street.

From beginning to end, there are only two ready-made clothing shops.

One is Yueyifang and the other is Shengyi Tailor Shop, and the two are separated by a hundred meters.

Shengyi Tailor Shop mainly accepts orders from wealthy businessmen and officials in Anzhou, and the housekeepers of the officials come here to have their clothes customized.

Yueyifang sells ready-made clothes and also accepts tailor-made orders, mainly accepting private orders from young ladies.

Ji Xiaobei looked around and decided that she didn't want to compete with these two companies for business.

She was new here and couldn't compete with them.

We have to find another way.

The people of the Great Northern Dynasty were open-minded and there were not so many restrictions on women's clothing.

An idea flashed through her mind: making underwear!

The young women here all bind their breasts and wrap them with cloth strips to keep them secure.

She wore a pair of baggy underpants that reached below the knees, and a long skirt over them.

Since coming here, Ji Xiaobei has been wearing disposable underwear inside, underpants outside, and then covering himself with a skirt.

She couldn't stand not wearing underwear and felt insecure.

When the wind blows, the cold draft from below is unbearable.

To be honest, these underwear consume a lot of energy.

Fortunately, Zheng Guo provides her with long-term supply.

I just don’t know if the women here can accept it.

She made up her mind to go back and let the women in her family try it first.

She went to the fabric store and bought some soft fabric.

Unfortunately, no matter how soft the ancient materials were, they were not as comfortable as modern modal fabrics.

I hope it won't be too uncomfortable to wear.

Ji Xiaobei asked Xiaozhuo to go to Qiuxian Academy, as today was another day of holiday for the Straits.

A group of people gathered in front of the gate of Qiuxian Academy.

There were also groups of students running out from the academy to join in the fun.

"If you can't afford the tuition, don't come to the academy, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Qiuxian Academy. We are seeking talents, not filthy people like you!"

A servant shouted loudly, holding two books in his hands.

Next to him stood an arrogant young man, with his arms folded across his chest, looking with disdain at the two blushing young men opposite him.

"This book is not ours. The books we copied were all taken from bookstores. They are all serious and good books. Don't slander us." A fair and weak-looking young man retorted loudly with an angry look on his face.

"Liang Yuhui, why are you protecting this country bumpkin? As long as you say that the book belongs to Ma Liuchou, my young master will spare you!"

The servant jumped and shouted.

"I didn't protect him. Malacca and I got the books from the bookstore together. The two books you took are not ours!"

Liang Yuhui spoke righteously and showed no fear.
