Quick mission: We don't make trouble

After dinner, Yang Jiu came over, and Yang San came with him.

Yang San pushed Yang Jiu aside, approached Zhu Qingqing, and said flatteringly, "Master Zhu, I heard you guys are going shopping. Let me lead the way for you. I'm most familiar with this place."

Zhu Qingqing said, "Okay."

It doesn't matter who leads the way.

Yang Jiu was not angry when he was pushed aside, but whispered to Yu Bo for a while.

Yu Bo winked at Wu Di.

Then he said, "Wait, I'll get it."

Called Wu Di to go upstairs together, and then came down together.

Give something to Yang Jiu.

This is another deck of playing cards that Wu Di drew on kraft paper. The earliest one has become a piece of rubbish.

Yang Jiu took it quickly to the backyard and handed it to Yang Wu, and a group of people led by Yang Wu started fighting against the landlord.

They don't have to rush today, so they can have some fun.

When Yang Jiu came out again, Zhu Qingqing and the others had already left the inn. He hurriedly chased after them and said to Yu Bo, "Master Yu, there's paper for sale in this town. I'll go buy some more. I'd also like to trouble you to draw a few more decks of playing cards."

Yu Bo glanced at Wu Di.

He didn't dare to agree to it casually.

Wu Di: "It's okay to paint, but you can't just paint casually. You can't ask us to help you for nothing. It's a waste of ink, paint, eyes, and nerves..."

Yang Jiu: "How about I give you some money for writing."

Wu Di's eyes lit up: "How much?"

Yu Bo: A little money-grubber.

Yang Jiu: "One hundred coins"

Wu Di: ………

Oh, you really can afford the price.

I strode forward, not wanting to talk to him any more.

Yang Jiu: ...

Yu Bo: "You, you only gave a hundred coins for such exquisite playing cards. Are they ordinary playing cards? They are hand-painted works of art. You know, works of art? They can't be measured by money."

Yang Jiu was a little confused: "...Isn't it just for fun? How can it be considered a work of art? What is a work of art?"

He chased after them and asked, "So how much do you want?"

Wu Di: "One tael of silver."

Yang Jiu: “Ah?

Yu Bo: You’re really good at speaking.

But he still had to keep calm and said: Almost.

In fact, Wu Di didn’t know the price of things, he just thought one or two was the smallest unit.

Because her mother gave her five taels of silver to support herself.

Yang Jiu felt a toothache.

One tael of silver for a deck of playing cards is not just a little expensive, but very expensive.

Wu Di looked at Yu Bo: "What, did I shout too loud?"

Yu Bo: "Maybe, this deal is going to fail."

Wu Di: "It doesn't matter. I don't make money from this."

After saying that, he went to chase Zhu Yingying.

Yang Jiu was left standing there with a confused look on his face.

At this time, Yang San was leading Zhu Qingqing and the others strolling in front. Although it was already afternoon, there were still many people on the street, including merchants from afar and villagers from nearby villages. They sold the game they hunted and the mountain products they picked to the merchants.

Yang San pointed to the rows of shops and introduced what was sold here and what was sold there.

This is similar to the shops on the streets of ancient towns in later generations, but the variety of goods and commodities is far less than that of later generations. It has no appeal to Zhu Qingqing and the others, and they have no interest in going in to take a look.

However, Wang Xiangdong and Yu Bo were interested in a shop selling swords, spears and arrows, so they went in and took a look around.

Later, Zhu Qingqing said to Yang San, "We want to buy some clothes to change into. Is there any store here that sells clothes?" Yang San quickly replied, "Yes, yes!" Then he led them off the main street and into a quieter street. This street not only had stores selling clothes, but also shops selling fabrics, needlework, and other items, and even jewelry stores.

Women's clothing and men's clothing are separate.

After Yang San took Zhu Qingqing and several other female relatives to the women's clothing store and handed them over to the female shopkeeper, he greeted Zhu's father and the others with a smile, and then took them to the men's clothing store next door.

When the female shopkeeper saw that the people coming in were several women wearing Tibetan aristocratic costumes, she immediately went forward to greet them enthusiastically.

When Zhu Qingqing and others entered the store, they found that there were not only local Tibetan costumes, but also many clothes in the style of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Welcome to our shop! We have a wide variety of clothing and are sure to satisfy your needs!"

As she spoke, the female shopkeeper led Zhu Qingqing and others to an area in the store where various exquisite clothes were displayed.

"Take a look at these clothes. If you like any of them, you can try them on~"

Zhu Yingying asked curiously, "Why don't you ask us to go over there?"

She pointed in the direction where Tibetan costumes were displayed.

The female shopkeeper smiled and explained, "I have run a shop in this border town for more than ten years, and I am quite familiar with the needs of customers.

You guys don't look like Tibetans at first glance, and you don't look like you want to buy Tibetan clothing.

Besides, what you are wearing are all fine items that cannot be bought outside. If you want to buy Tibetan clothes, you won’t buy them from me.”

After hearing this, Zhu Yingying couldn't help but sigh: "You have a really good eye!"

The female shopkeeper smiled modestly and said, "I don't deserve it, but after doing this for a long time, I naturally understand some of the tricks.

Ladies and young ladies, please come this way. These are all the clothes from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The styles of clothing during the Great Zhou Dynasty were relatively complex. For example, women's clothing included skirts worn by ladies of noble families, similar in style to those worn during the Tang Dynasty. There were also riding suits designed for horseback riding, consisting of a short skirt covering the hips, paired with long trousers and riding boots, giving the wearer the appearance of a wandering female warrior. Furthermore, there were short shirts and trousers specifically designed for women working.

Winter is almost here, so most people wear jackets and cotton pants.

Zhu Qingqing and Zhu Yingying both liked the riding clothes because they thought they were very convenient. Of course, they also thought the short jackets and trousers that women wore when working were also very nice and worth buying.

So the three adults each bought a set of riding clothes plus a jacket and cotton trousers.

As for the long skirt that drags on the ground, I gave up and will think about it after I get to the provincial capital.

Bought Wu Di some children's clothes.

She doesn't have to work, so wearing a skirt doesn't get in the way.

But I still bought her a set of riding clothes as requested.

Then the three adults went to the inner room to choose underwear. While choosing underwear, Zhu Yingying whispered: "This bellyband is still not as good as a bra! It can't cover it well?"

As she said this, she deliberately did two pony jumps, and her chest suddenly surged.

Zhu Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

"It would be nice if I could turn this bellyband into a bra."

Mother Zhu: "It's not that difficult, we can do it ourselves!"

Zhu Yingying said, "Mom, can you make clothes?"

Mother Zhu nodded proudly, "When we were young, we made a lot of clothes ourselves to save money. Whenever a new style came out in the department store, the girls would quickly imitate it.

Before bras were commercially available, we made our own camisoles. Later, when bras became commercially available, they were so expensive that we couldn't bear to spend the money. So, my sisters and I secretly went to see them and tried making our own. Except for the sponge, everything else was the same. As living conditions improved and work became more demanding, we stopped making them. But I'll never forget the skills I learned.

How about this, let's go buy some fabric and some needles and thread, and I'll make them for you sisters. I'll also make two small vests for Didi."

Zhu Qingqing: "That's great, we can enjoy mom's blessing from now on."

The mother and her two daughters selected two pieces of light-colored fine cotton cloth to make underwear, and also selected a dark-colored piece to make two pairs of underwear for Zhu's father. Of course, Yu Bo and Wang Xiangdong were also indispensable. It was not a big deal for Zhu's mother, an elder, to make them.

When paying the bill, Zhu Qingqing felt heartbroken again. She had spent almost ten taels of silver. It was a lot of money.
