The Crown Princess is busy fishing

Along the way, Lin Yuge and Lin Qingzhou had already filled their hands with all sorts of snacks and pastries.

Lin Yuge took a bite of the soft and glutinous osmanthus cake, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth.

It made her squint her eyes.

"Mother, please try some!" She took Xie Jingwan's arm with one hand and held a piece of osmanthus cake to Xie Jingwan's mouth with the other.

Xie Jingwan smiled, took a small bite, and nodded, saying, "Mmm, it is indeed sweet and delicious."

Lin Qingzhou, not to be outdone, brought over a piece of almond shortbread.

"Dad, you should try this too, it's delicious."

Lin Fanghai took the almond shortbread, took a bite, and smiled with satisfaction.

Following the flow of people, they came to a stall selling fabric.

The fabrics on the stall were brightly colored and had exquisite patterns.

Xie Jingwan stopped and carefully selected the fabric.

She was thinking of making some new clothes for her family to welcome the new year.

At this moment, Lin Yuge pointed to the ready-made clothes in the shop behind and said, "Mother, the New Year is coming soon."

"How long would it take you to make clothes all by yourself? Why don't you just buy ready-made ones?"

Xie Jingwan was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at the ready-made clothes hanging in the shop.

Those clothes were stylish and the colors were beautiful.

She said hesitantly, "I don't know if these ready-made clothes will fit."

Lin Yuge took her hand and said with a smile, "Mother, let's go and try it and we'll know."

Upon entering the store, Xie Jingwan immediately took a liking to a light pink dress.

The dress was made of a soft material and was embroidered with exquisite floral and bird patterns.

The skirt is also adorned with small pearls.

Xie Jingwan held up the dress in front of Lin Yuge, gesturing with it, her eyes filled with joy.

"Yuge, come and try on this outfit."

Xie Jingwan pulled Lin Yuge towards the fitting room.

"Wait, I want this dress!"

A spoiled voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone heard this and went away.

"It's you?"

Lin Yuge suddenly remembered Miss Jia, whom he had met when buying furniture.

Jia Jingxue raised her chin slightly, looking smug.

"That's right, it's me. You poor girl, now no one's going to help you, is there?"

She then raised her chin and gestured, "I've taken a liking to this dress, so you'd better give it up quickly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingzhou was immediately enraged.

He stepped forward and said, "How can you be so unreasonable? We saw these clothes first."

Jia Jingxue glanced at him disdainfully, "So what? I have plenty of money!"

"If I want it, I can get it."

Lin Yuge pulled back her older brother, who was still trying to argue with her.

With a smile, he said, "Perfect, I'm not short of money either, so let's each rely on our own abilities!"

Jia Jingxue snorted coldly, "Come on then, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Jia Jingxue immediately raised her voice, "I'll give you ten taels of silver."

"Fifteen taels."

"Thirty taels."

The two went back and forth, and the price soared.

Lin Yuge remained calm and composed: "One hundred taels."

People around gasped in astonishment at the exorbitant price of the clothes.

Jia Jingxue was so angry that her face turned red. She hadn't expected Lin Yuge to be so resolute.

"One hundred and fifty taels."

Lin Yuge slightly raised her chin. "Two hundred taels."

At this point, Jia Jingxue was in a bind, so she hardened her heart.

"Three hundred taels."

Lin Yuge sneered inwardly, but outwardly pretended to hesitate for a moment.

Then he said, "Since Miss Jia likes this dress so much, then I won't take it from her."

Jia Jingxue then realized that she had fallen into Lin Yuge's trap.

But the words have already been spoken, and there's no going back.

She could only watch helplessly as she spent an exorbitant amount of money to buy an ordinary piece of clothing.

Lin Yuge felt extremely pleased to see Jia Jingxue's discomfiture.

She smiled and said to Jia Jingxue, "Miss Jia is indeed very wealthy. Congratulations on getting this dress."

"However, I suddenly feel that this dress isn't that nice anymore, and I wasn't planning on having it anyway."

Jia Jingxue's eyes widened, her face flushed with anger. "You're playing me?"

Lin Yuge shrugged and said, "You're the one who insisted on arguing with me; I didn't force you."

The people around her burst into laughter, and Jia Jingxue felt that she had lost all face.

"Just wait for me."

She glared at Lin Yuge fiercely, then turned and left with her maid.

Lin Yuge said to her parents and eldest brother, "This arrogant person deserves to be taught a lesson."

Xie Jingwan nodded with a smile.

"My daughter did the right thing, but she shouldn't provoke people like that so easily in the future."

The family was not affected by this incident at all.

Lin Yuge picked out another light blue dress in the store.

Soon, I was able to try it on.

She stood gracefully, her light blue dress making her appear even more elegant and refined.

The tassels at the hem of her skirt swayed gently as she walked.

Lin Qingzhou's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Little sister, you look so beautiful in this outfit, like a fairy who stepped out of a painting."

Lin Fanghai smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xie Jingwan looked at her daughter with great joy.

"Honey, this outfit suits you perfectly, this is the one."

Afterwards, the family members each tried on an outfit in the shop.

Xie Jingwan thought that she didn't have enough clothes to change into.

The clothes at home are all old.

In the end, I selected a few bolts of fabric and prepared to take them back and work on them slowly.

If all else fails, you can ask a skilled woman in the village to help you make it.

As I left the clothing store, I came across a stall selling dried fruit.

Lin Qingzhou was the first to be drawn over.

He picked up an almond, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Little sister, these almonds are really delicious, so fragrant and crunchy."

Lin Yuge walked over and looked at the abundant dried fruits on the stall.

Smiling, she said to Xie Jingwan, "Mom, let's buy some dried fruit to take home. We can eat it as a snack during the New Year."

Xie Jingwan readily agreed and began to carefully select items.

The stall owner enthusiastically introduced the characteristics and benefits of various dried fruits.

Lin Fanghai listened from the side, occasionally offering his own opinions.

Finally, they picked out several packets of almonds, cashews, and raisins.

I also bought a lot of tangerines and longans from the fruit stand next door.

Lin Qingzhou was already covered in bundles.

Even so, he didn't forget to put food in his mouth.

Lin Yuge couldn't help but chuckle at her elder brother's expression.

It was almost noon, and everyone was tired.

He simply sat down at the food stall next to him.

The stall owner greeted them warmly and soon brought over several bowls of steaming wonton noodles.

The thin, white noodles lay nestled in the delicious broth.

It's topped with a few bright green scallions and thin slices of meat.

There were also several plump wontons on the side, emitting an enticing aroma.

Lin Qingzhou couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and start eating heartily.

While eating, he mumbled, "This wonton noodle soup is so delicious. After a long day, this bite makes me feel so much better."

Lin Yuge picked up a noodle and gently blew on it.

Then put it in your mouth and savor it slowly.

Xie Jingwan and Lin Fanghai exchanged a smile as they looked at the two of them, who were clearly satisfied.

After finishing their wonton noodles, they ordered several other local snacks.

Lin Qingzhou took a bite of the sticky rice chicken in her hand.

Squinting, she exclaimed, "This is delicious! It has a refreshing lotus leaf fragrance, the chicken inside is tender and juicy, and the glutinous rice is soft and delicious."

Lin Yuge then picked up a shrimp dumpling.

The shrimp dumplings have thin wrappers and generous fillings; the pink shrimp meat inside can be seen through the translucent wrapper, making them incredibly appetizing.
