Shen Wen's words made Shen Dahe's family fall into silence.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Shen Lao Er's face.

"Here, two taels of silver."

Wang spoke haltingly.

The private savings she had saved over the years did not even amount to a single ounce of silver.

"Don't worry, your family has been able to support you in your studies for so many years."

"Although your uncle's family has split up now, they still value you."

Although Old Lady Shen felt that two taels of silver was not a small amount, she still spoke confidently.

The eldest brother's family has always valued this nephew very much and will definitely not stand idly by.

"Your grandma is right. If you have time during the Chinese New Year, go visit your uncle."

"Nowadays, the shopkeepers in town all welcome your uncle's family with smiles. I'm sure supporting your education won't be a problem."

Shen Dahe felt that what Old Lady Shen said made sense, so he agreed.

It’s all my daughter’s fault, she has shallow eyelids!

Shen Wen nodded his head and went out to review his lessons.

But Shen Wen didn't expect that his things would be turned into a mess after he and Shen Wu moved in together.

What was originally his own house became shared by the two brothers.

Shen Wu is young and playful.

Not only was the bedding dirty, but his desk was also scratched and dented.

Shen Wen was extremely angry, but he could do nothing.

Looking at the dirty and messy house, Shen Wen felt for the first time that Shen Dahe and Wang were extremely useless.

It gets dark early in winter, so every household lights candles early.

Shen Tang looked at the dishes on the table and felt that Liu's cooking skills were getting better and better.

After hearing all the flattery, Liu couldn't stop smiling.

"Mom, Shen Wen gave me something today, and it really scared me."

"Awen has been a very smart kid since he was young. He's the best student among his peers in the village. So, three years ago, his family sent him to the academy in town."

"Every time your second uncle comes back from visiting Ah Wen, he's so happy that he tells everyone he's going to take the imperial examination and become the top scholar. In my opinion, even though this kid is smart, he shouldn't be so boastful."

Wang was even more outrageous. Normally, when she looked at people, her eyes would reach the top of their heads.

"As for Awen, he's really different from other children since he started school. He's well-educated and well-mannered, just like the storyteller said, gentle and polite. There are people in the village who don't like your Second Aunt, but they all treat Awen differently."

"Even your father and mother, when you were still not well, thought that if Awen had a promising future, they would be able to take care of you when we were old. So they helped out a little more on weekdays. After all, if a child had a promising future in school, it would be an honor for our Shen family."

Wang was talking to Shen Tang about what had happened over the years when she suddenly noticed that her daughter's wrist, which she used to pick up food, had grown a little longer.

"Dashan, look at Tangtang and see if he has grown taller."

The clothes were originally Shen Tao's old clothes, and the food she had eaten these days was also good.

When a girl is thirteen or fourteen, she is in the period of growth. She becomes taller and has more flesh on her face.

It seems I need to go to town in a few days to buy some cloth to make clothes for my daughter.

Shen Tang listened to what Liu said and thought that Shen Wen was different because he had received education.

But she always felt that no matter how much she heard, it was better to see it with her own eyes.

The Shen Wen I met that day didn't seem like the same person Liu had described.

At night, Shen Tang lay in bed, thinking constantly.

Since Xiang Niangzi took away the white soap, if she does as she said, she will definitely bring back a lot of profits.

Besides, soap making is a good business, and once you have the capital, you should expand it!

The profit-sharing model with Xiang Niangzi should also be changed.

It's time to write a plan.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was market day.

For this purpose, Shen Tang specially gave Aunt Guihua and her family a day off.

Aunt Guihua's family is now considered to have an income, so this time when they go to the market, the two families have agreed to go together.

In order to avoid squeezing into the ox cart with others, Shen Tang generously spent fifty cents to rent the ox cart.

As soon as they entered the city, Liu and Guihua went together to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for their home.

Shen Dashan went to visit some blacksmith shops alone.

Maybe because it is the twelfth lunar month, the market today is more lively than when Shen Tang came back last time.

Not only are there more people, but there are also many more street vendors, not to mention a wide variety of local specialties.

Shen Tang also enjoyed the feeling of shopping in ancient times.

The three of them entered the clothing shop holding sugar figures.

Surprisingly, the owner of the clothing store did not look down on the people because of their shabby clothes.

"Ladies, the shop has recently added many new dresses. Come and take a look at this one. It's perfect for the New Year."

His eyesight was extremely good, and he could tell at a glance who was the leader among the group.

"Shopkeeper, please show this to my sister."

Shen Tang pushed Shen Li in front of him.

"Ah, this lady has a really nice figure. Coincidentally..."

Shen Li was pushed in front of Shen Tang, looking embarrassed.

"This color is perfect for the young lady."

Shen Tang saw the shopkeeper holding a goose yellow dress.

"Go ahead and try it on. If the size isn't right, I can change it. Consider it a reward for your hard work this year."

It's the Chinese New Year, so it's normal to give employees some benefits.

Although Aunt Guihua is very kind to her two daughters, she probably wouldn't buy such clothes for Shen Li.

Moreover, seeing how obedient and sensible Shen Li and Shen Dan are, they would not spend the money to buy such nice clothes.

"You go pick one out too."

Shen Tang pushed Shen Dan.

"Me! Me too!"

There was disbelief on the faces of both sisters.

"This is too expensive."

Shen Li felt even more embarrassed when she saw that the clothes were made of fine cloth.

"Yes, it's too expensive."

The always lively Shen Dan also refused, although she really liked the pink one!

"I'm counting on you two to be my right-hand men next year."

Shen Tang replied with a smile.

He also asked the shopkeeper to take them to try on the clothes.

Both of them had red eyes and were moved.

"Although the material of this dress isn't the best, the workmanship is definitely one of the best in the shop!"

"Originally, these are eight hundred coins. But since you want two, I'll give you seven hundred and fifty coins. The total is fifteen hundred coins, so I'll give you one and a half ounces of silver."

Shen Tang looked at the shopkeeper without saying a word, and finally looked at him with wide eyes.

Including the two sisters Shen Li and Shen Dan, a total of ten ready-made clothes were taken away.

The shopkeeper personally delivered it to the door and also gave Shen Tang ten purses as a bonus.

The clothes were carefully wrapped and placed in Shen Li's backpack.

Sisters Shen Li and Shen Dan felt even more passionate.

I can't wait to go back to Shenjia Village and make soap for three days and three nights.

They had only been working for a short time, but the boss bought them a set of ready-made clothes, and also one for their mother.

I will make soap for Sister Tang for the rest of my life!

Shen Tang naturally didn't know what the two sisters were thinking.

It was just because the New Year was approaching. After all, in later generations, people had to wear new clothes during the New Year.

So he picked two suits for Shen Dashan and Liu.

As for the extra set, I picked the best one.

Several people happily left the shop and wandered around for a while.

Shen Tang took the two of them to Yueren Pavilion.
