A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Gu Zhou was very grateful after hearing this and bowed again.

Shen Wu looked at the woman from behind without any concealment. She was so beautiful.

Her hands were shaking with excitement. This sister looked like a person in an ancient painting dug out from a tomb. The state of her expression when she spoke was almost the same as what she imagined when she visited the museum.

"Can we take a look at the cloth first?"

The woman had nothing to do today after finishing this load of work, and was thinking of working on some new things with the people in the workshop. When she saw the two children, she thought of her own two naughty kids and sighed.

"Come in, but you can't enter the alley. Follow me to the entrance hall." The woman said and turned around neatly. The breeze brought wisps of cool air, causing her clothes to flutter gently.

Gu Zhou pulled Shen Wu to follow. Ever since coming to this place, she has been staring at it with her eyes fixed, as if she had seen something good.

Gu Zhou sighed almost inaudibly.

"This is the soft linen left over from a few years ago. If you want it, please tell me in advance. Although this linen is old cloth with some yellow spots, it is still 100 wen per foot."

So expensive!

Gu Zhou was surprised in his heart, this... this is almost more expensive than ramie.

He hesitated when he thought about the money he had worked so hard to earn.

"So expensive! Fairy sister! Why is this cloth so expensive?"

Fairy sister?

The woman was stunned when the young girl called her like that, and then she laughed.

"Cloth is difficult to make. It takes a lot of time to make a piece of cloth. I, the weaver here, work non-stop, and it takes about a month to make one piece of soft linen."

Was productivity so low in ancient times?

Shen Wu was silent. Her thoughts were on modern looms, the kind of computerized looms that rely entirely on electricity to drive the looms. They run 24 hours a day and can produce cloth at any time.

"Are there any cheaper ones? Fairy sister! Mother said she needs something softer! To wear inside!"

Shen Wu changed her mind. Since this kind of cloth is expensive, then? She asked to see if there was any other cloth that met her requirements. After all, she was not from ancient times and did not understand the cloth of this era.

"I have some ramie, which is harder than soft linen. If you don't have much money, you can use it to make underwear." The woman smiled softly. The little girl looked like her younger sister when she was a child, small and dark, and always looked at her with bright eyes.

"Can you let us see it?" Shen Wu tried to make his smile look more innocent.

God knows how she is smiling now!

"Hold on".

Gu Zhou didn't say anything and pulled her hand.

Shen Wu looked over, pretending to be ignorant, and said softly in an unidentifiable gender voice: "Brother! Buy some soft cloth and bring it back. Will mother be very happy? Will mother no longer feel uncomfortable?"

Gu Zhou's scalp tingled at her display of skill. His pupils dilated slightly, then returned to normal in an instant.

His expression changed slightly, as if he was recalling something and smiled bitterly: "Yeah."

Gu Zhou had only known her for a few days, and he could confirm from her changing facial expressions that she was not the original Jiang Yu. He also became a little calmer from his initial panic and fear, and now he could even follow her and speak nonsense in her mother's name.

The woman outside the door paused, took a few steps back, and then stomped on the ground heavily, making some noises.

"How about this?" What the woman brought was actually a piece of cloth, which was white with some yellow mold spots on it.

Shen Wu suppressed the excitement in her heart, she was about to jump out of excitement, how come she could pick up bargains one after another.

"Sister Fairy! This cloth is so beautiful! It has flowers on it!" Shen Wu said happily, pointing at the mold on the cloth.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is not nonsense, the cloth was not stored properly and mold grew on it."

"How much does this cost, Fairy Sister?" Shen Wu did not reply.

"90 Wen"

"So expensive!" Shen Wu and Gu Zhou said at the same time.

"Ramie is difficult to produce and is expensive. White ramie is the base fabric for dyeing here. If it hadn't been damaged and couldn't be sold, I wouldn't have taken this out."

Shen Wu pouted and looked back at Gu Zhou: "Brother, we can't buy anything at all. Mother doesn't give us much money. If we buy all the cloth, we won't be able to buy food for mother."

She finished her words quickly and the woman's expression didn't change. Gu Zhou was a little panicked. Would she be able to bargain like this?

He shook his head: "Not enough"

"Sister Fairy, can you give me a cheaper price?" Shen Wu broke free from Gu Zhou's hand and ran over, getting closer to the cloth to take a look.

"This cloth is so beautiful, mother needs a lot of it."

The woman sighed: "How much money do you have?"

沈芜假装数指头，缓慢将头转向顾昼掰着指头一下下道：“1…2…3…4…4…！我们有四十文！”沈芜及时接受到顾昼眼里的暗示，松开手看向女子。

"This... I'm afraid... I can't even afford one foot."

The woman hesitated. The cloth was damaged, but she couldn't sell it at such a low price!

Suddenly, an elderly man cried out in the yard: "Oh! My cloth! It's broken! Where is my wife! What should I do with this cloth!"

The person called "Madam" was the one who received Shen Wu and the others. When she heard the voices in the alley, she hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and take a look."

After she replied to Shen Wu, she hurriedly said loudly: "Hey! I'll be right there."

Shen Wu and Gu Zhou were in the side hall, with only a few rays of light coming in through the windows near the entrance.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Zhou leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Shen Wu smiled, an expression that was very consistent with her age: "Brother... I want to save more money to buy delicious food for mother."

Gu Zhou was stunned and didn't dare to say anything. She was very surprised.

Soon the woman came back. She seemed to be so tired that she was sweating all over, and the cloth on her forehead was wet.

"Forget it. Here is some ramie cloth for 40 yuan. You can take it. There is something wrong with the cloth here and I can't sell it, so I might as well sell it to you." The woman was breathing unevenly due to fatigue, and her hands that were holding the table tightened slightly.

Shen Wu was stunned for a second, her brain didn't react, what the hell is going on? Is she so lucky?

Shen Wu couldn't help but ponder all the good luck she had ever had since she was born. This wasn't right! She had only won a canvas bag and a Hanfu suit since she was a child, both of which were the worst. In all the big things, they were all Europeans! Why was she so lucky now?

Before she could think any more, a fat middle-aged woman ran out from the alley.

"Who do you think wants to buy it?" The lady came running over hurriedly holding a piece of wet cloth.

When Shen Wu got closer, he found that the cloth indeed looked similar to ramie, but at this time it was generally dyed gray-black and looked very dirty.

Ji Niang raised her head and motioned her to look at the brother and sister standing at the door: "They are helping mother buy lining cloth, and they said they only have 40 cents."

When the fat lady saw that the two children were covered in patched cloth, her face darkened: "This cloth... 40 cents! No, no, I would rather eat it myself than sell it!"

The weaving lady sighed and said, "You say you want to sell it and you say you don't want to sell it. I can't help you make a decision. You knitted it yourself, so if you don't want to, then you don't have to."

The displeasure on the fat lady's face was not so obvious, but one could still tell that she was making fun of the two people.

Shen Wu also spoke up in time: "In that case, brother, let's not buy anything today. We have to go home early!"

As she spoke, she took Gu Zhou's hand and quickly walked away. She walked so fast that the two people in the neighborhood secretly thought something was wrong.

"It's over?! What happened to these two kids?"

Shen Wu was breathing rapidly and pulling Gu Zhou while walking and running.

There seemed to be a voice coming from behind her, but she ignored it: "Don't look back." She whispered softly and pulled Gu Zhou to run wildly, until they ran to the street, then she let go of his sleeve and gasped.

"What's wrong?" Although Gu Zhou felt something was wrong, he didn't think too much about it and quickly patted her back.

Shen Wu's mind was spinning like crazy: "I... I remembered that the master is still waiting for us. Is it getting late now? Let's go back quickly! If we wait too late, it will take us a long time to get home."

She suppressed the doubts in her heart and tried not to think too much.

"Okay, let's go back first. There's no rush anyway." Gu Zhou pulled her and slowly walked towards the agreed place.

She had something to do, what happened to the cloth shop? Gu Zhou didn't dare to ask, so he had to pull her weak body and walk slowly.
