Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Most of the home furnishings in Liaodong Prefecture are grand and simple. As for exquisiteness, those in the south are naturally more delicate and compact.

Ordinary farmers may not have the conditions to buy a house in the county town, but the Sheng family does. Now that the two families live together, it is not a big deal.

"We have to make this clear in advance," Fu said with a smile, "We can go to the county town with you to pick up things, but we have to pay for it ourselves, otherwise, we won't dare to go with you..."

As Fu was talking, she took off her purse and held it in front of Zhang to show her. The purse was bulging with loose silver.

Xiao Lan roughly estimated the amount and it was about twenty taels.

This money is more than enough to buy some furniture and furnishings.

There is no need for a farmer's family to spend so much money to marry off their daughter. This is already a very generous amount.

"You have to listen to me about this. Let's go shopping together and we'll pay for our own things. If you, as the eldest aunt, want to buy some makeup for Xiaoyan, that's another matter and I won't stop you." Fu said.

"Guihua, your sister-in-law is right, that's how we should talk about it." Xin chimed in.

"Mom, just listen to my grandma and my aunt." Xiao Lan thought for a moment and said to Zhang.

If I want to support Xiaoyan, there are naturally plenty of ways to do it. Besides, Xiaoyan has married in the local village, so it doesn't matter if she lives with me.

This matter was settled. The next day, Zhang, Fu, Xin, Xiaolan, Xiaoting and Xiaoyan got on a carriage and went to the town.

Everyone in the county knew the Sheng family from Shengjia Village. When the group arrived at the grocery store and learned about their purpose, the shopkeeper arranged for the waiters to bring out various items for them to choose from.

"These are all the new and great products this year. They are the most fashionable." After putting the items out one by one, the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile.

Before coming to the county town, the family had already discussed what Xiaoyan needed to buy and how much budget the Zhang family planned to spend. The mothers and daughters knew it very well.

Over the years, the Zhang family has prepared large furniture, bedding, fabrics, and jewelry for Xiaoyan, most of which were saved from working with Xiaolan's family in business over the years. This time, Fu came here just to buy a few fashionable furnishings for Xiaoyan, and the remaining money was intended to be used to make a few more jewelry for Xiaoyan.

But when they saw the grocery store owner taking out so many good things, they were a little dazzled.

Zhang actually knew what Fu was planning, so she took Xiaoyan to pick out the items, and then showed them to Fu and Xin. In the end, Zhang picked out two pairs of porcelain vases, four rolls of cloth, and some pearl flowers for Xiaoyan.

Xiaolan picked out a vermilion makeup box and gave it to Xiaoyan.

"We don't need this makeup box." Xiaoyan refused again and again.

"Sister Xiaoyan, this makeup box is a gift from me to you. It looks festive and is most suitable for a bride." Xiaoyan is getting married next year, and as her cousin, she naturally wants to express her gratitude.

"I also bought this makeup box for my sister, and this one is for you." Xiao Lan said as she opened the makeup box layer by layer for Xiao Yan to see. This makeup box has a dressing mirror inside, and after opening it, there are many small drawers inside. The carvings on the outside of the makeup box are also very beautiful. Xiao Yan likes it more and more.

After buying everything, Xiao Lan asked the shopkeeper to calculate the bill. When Xin, Fu and Xiao Yan heard the final figure reported by the shopkeeper, they were all stunned.

"You must have miscalculated, how can it be so cheap?" Fu said. Even if these things were bought from the town, the price would be doubled, and the things in the town were not as varied and good-looking as those in the county town. The things in the county town could only be more expensive than those in the town, but now the shopkeeper's price was so low, no wonder Fu was shocked.

"If we sell it to someone else, it won't be this price," the shopkeeper said with a smile, "This shop belongs to the Zhao family. Our boss said that it's mainly the Sheng family that buys it, and we sell it at the purchase price. Our boss said, how can we make money from our own family?"

The shopkeeper quoted the purchase price for the things chosen for Xiaoyan. Since the shop was not losing money, Xiaoyan felt relieved. After all, she was now deeply involved in business with Zhao Dongjia, and he would not make a profit from her, after all, they were real relatives.

After the things were packed, the group walked out and came to the largest jewelry shop in the county. Xin and Fu took out the old jewelry that they had accumulated over the years, intending to add some silver money to buy some fashionable jewelry for Xiaoyan.

Zhang did not interfere. She just waited until they finished choosing, and then asked the shopkeeper to bring out several sets of headgear for Xiaoyan to choose from.

"I have discussed this with Xiaoyan's uncle, and we plan to make a set of head ornaments for Xiaoyan as a makeup accessory..." Zhang said with a smile.

It was rare for a woman from a farming family to have a complete set of head ornaments, but now that Xiaolan's family was doing well, it was not difficult for them to have a complete set of head ornaments. As an aunt, Zhang was concerned about her own child, so Xin and Fu would naturally not stop her.

"These are given to you by your aunt. Just pick what you like." Xin and Fu both said to Xiaoyan.

Xiaoyan naturally agreed happily and quickly asked Xiaolan and Xiaoting to help her choose.

When the mother and her friends returned to Shengjia Village, Sheng Xuan, Xiaowen and other members of the Zhang family couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the goods they unloaded from the carriage.

This time we went to the city, not only to prepare Xiaoyan's dowry, but also Xiaoting's dowry and some things that needed to be added to the family. In total, the mothers and daughters bought a lot of things.
