There is a happy inn in the capital.

Seed vendor: "Young lady, we have eggplant, chives, pumpkin, celery, cucumber, and also leafy green vegetable seeds."

Li Shuchen examined the seeds carefully. They weren't particularly plump, but they were alright. He'd go to Xiao Jizi's place later to buy some and try a "substitution."

Li Shuchen waved his hand dismissively: "Wrap them up, I'll take them all."

The more the better, to mislead people.

Seed vendor: "Alright, that'll be 200 coins in total."

Li Shuchen: "Boss, do you have any fruit seeds?"

Seed vendor: "I don't have any of these. Fruit seeds are scarce; we usually grow our own and rarely bring them here to sell."

"If Miss wants it, she'll probably have to go to the Jiangnan region herself; there are more varieties there, and the taste is even better."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Thank you, boss."

Xiao Jizi does have some, but it wouldn't be easy to explain if I just took it out. Looks like I'll have to go to Jiangnan.

Grape: "Miss, we're going to plant fruit trees! Then we'll have lots of fruit to eat!"

Li Shuchen tapped the grape's nose with his index finger: "Yeah, I'll let you eat until you're stuffed."

Grape began to daydream: "How wonderful, just thinking about it is beautiful."

She rarely eats fruit; I can't even imagine what it would be like to eat until you're stuffed.

Li Shuchen pulled her along, saying, "Stop thinking about it. Give the seeds to Aunt Zhou and let her plant them first."

Li Shuchen dragged the grapes back to the inn, to the Three Treasures Hall.

Li Shuchen: "Grape, ask Aunt Wang to make a bowl of plain noodles."

Grape: "Yes, miss."

Li Shuchen watched Grape leave, closed the door, and opened the Jixiang Mall app.

I bought eggplant, chives, pumpkin, celery, cucumber, and leafy green seeds; each seed was plump, large, and round.

After thinking about it, I bought some tomato seeds too. Eating tomatoes can help whiten skin.

I also bought some cilantro seeds; she loves cilantro.

After purchasing the seeds, mix them together with the ones bought from the vendor, and keep the tomato and cilantro seeds separate.

After doing all that, water your white lisianthus and compliment it: "You're blooming so beautifully, you're so pretty, like a fairy in flowing white robes."

Li Shuchen praised the flowers to himself for a long time.

Grape: "Miss, the noodles are ready."

Li Shuchen: "We're here."

She loves a bowl of light and fragrant plain noodles with a fried egg.

He sighed as he ate.

Li Shuchen: "It smells so good!"

After finishing the plain noodles, Grape held the bowl and chopsticks, while Li Shuchen took the seeds and went downstairs with Grape.

Backyard Kitchen

As Li Shuchen handed the seeds to Chef Wang, he said, "Aunt Wang, when Xiaozhuang comes to deliver the vegetables tomorrow..."

Please give him these seeds and tell him to plant them in the field.

Aunt Wang smiled and took it, saying, "Leave it to me, don't worry."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Mm"

After saying that, he went to help in the guest room. He was busy until closing time, and Li Shuchen was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Night and day alternation

Today is another new day!

Li Shuchen, who woke up early, sat by the mirror and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She had been eating well and a lot lately, and her face had become rounder.

They've grown up a bit, looking exactly like modern ones.

I'm not sure if my skin is white or not; I can't see very clearly in this bronze mirror, and I feel like I've lost a lot of my beauty.

These clothes and jewelry are too plain; they don't give off a youthful, vibrant vibe at all. I should probably buy some new clothes and jewelry to dress myself up.

Wearing such coarse linen clothes every day is beneath the dignity of the inn.

The owner of a prestigious inn is dressed so shabbily; it's laughable if word gets out.

So Li Shuchen spoke up, "Grape, where can I find good clothes and jewelry?"

After putting the grape seeds away, Grape replied, "Miss, are we going to buy fabric?"

Li Shuchen tidied her hair: "Do you think anyone in our family knows needlework?"

Grape paced back and forth, scratching her head, and said, "Madam can, but Master certainly won't let her do it."

Li Shuchen stood up and flicked Grape's forehead: "Of course we bought ready-made clothes!"

Grape covered her head and let out a coquettish cry: "Ah, Miss~"

Grape said while rubbing her forehead

"Among the capital cities, Huashangge and Baoguige are the most famous, offering high-quality goods, a wide variety of styles, and prices at all levels."

Li Shuchen planned to buy clothes first, then jewelry.

He then said, "Let's go to the Flower Robe Pavilion first."

Grape: "Good"

The two then went to the West Market, a commercial street with a wide variety of shops.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Flower Garment Pavilion, you can see many people selecting clothes inside.

A man came out of the shop and said to Li Shuchen and Grape, "Please come in, gentlemen. We've received a lot of new clothes."

Li Shuchen went inside

The man pointed to the innermost row of clothes and said...

"This row of clothes is not only made of good material, but also has the latest styles. You should take a look, young lady."

The shop assistants did not neglect Li Shuchen at all because of her shabby clothes.

Li Shuchen was in a good mood, and when you're in a good mood, you're happy to spend money.

Li Shuchen strolled around casually, picked up a piece of clothing: "This dark purple embroidered dress, and the one with the subtle blue and silver thread pattern, are quite nice. For Mother."

I went to the men's ready-to-wear section again and picked out a few items.

Li Shuchen: "Father, let's get him a light blue one too. This deep blue one is also nice."

Xiao'er should wear sky blue and crescent white; he'd definitely look good in those.

Li Shuchen: "Grape, what do you think of these clothes I picked out?"

Grape: "The girl picked something that's both beautiful and suitable."

Li Shuchen was very happy, and she felt that she had made a good choice. She turned around and took the grapes back to the women's ready-to-wear section.

Li Shuchen saw a pink dress that looked particularly youthful and energetic, and said to Grape...

"Grape, you like pink, so take this one. And this pinkish-purple one also suits your age."

Grape waved her hands repeatedly: "No, Miss, this is too expensive. I'll take this one."

Grape picked up a dark green linen coat

Li Shuchen could tell at a glance that the material was very rough and would definitely be uncomfortable to wear. The color was also old-fashioned and unattractive.

Although Li Shuchen can't afford fine silks and satins yet, she can still afford pure cotton clothes, and she only chooses pure cotton ones.

Li Shuchen crossed her arms, slightly annoyed: "You're the young lady, I'm the young lady."

Li Shuchen deliberately scared her.

Grape immediately wilted when she saw Li Shuchen was angry: "You're a young lady."

Li Shuchen: "Knowing I'm a prostitute, you have to listen to me and buy this pink one and that pinkish-purple one I'm holding."

Li Shuchen chose orange-yellow and orange-green for herself, both solid colors with subtle silver patterns. They shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.

Li Shuchen: "Shopkeeper, check please."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the many items carried by the shop assistants following behind Li Shuchen. A big customer indeed!

Fingers moved rapidly across the abacus, and in a moment...

He said with a smile, "It'll be 5 taels and 80 cash in total. 5 taels will do."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Thank you, Grape will pay."

After paying the bill, Li Shuchen and Grape were both carrying lots of things.

Li Shuchen decided to return to the inn first.

Upon entering the living room, I happened to run into Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang smiled and took the clothes: "Miss, you've bought some clothes. It's time to dress up a bit."

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Zhang, you can just put the things in my room."

Aunt Zhang: "Hey!"
