Chapter 561 Growth (8)

After hearing what Mrs. Cui said, Caiwei suppressed her excitement and pretended to be curious and asked: "I heard that it took less than 20 days for the Qin King's army to rush from the capital to Qing County, and they also collected a lot of food and grass on the way. This Qin King must be very great, right?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui's smile disappeared immediately and she said seriously: "Girl, don't blame me for not reminding you. There will be a war here soon. Some words can't be said casually. For example, what you just said, if someone with ulterior motives heard it, they would definitely take you as a spy of the Mongolian slaves, and you wouldn't know how you died at that time!"

Caiwei stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Yes!"

Mrs. Cui's carriage went to the county town of Qing County. When passing by a ready-made clothing store, Caiwei got off the car, said goodbye to Mrs. Cui, and planned to go to the ready-made clothing store to buy some thick and warm clothes.

As soon as she got off the car, she heard a surprised call.

"Sister!"

When Caiwei turned around, she saw Goudan, whom she met when she bought steamed buns in Qingxian last time, looking at her with surprise.

After not seeing him for a few months, he had grown a lot, but he was still so thin, with a yellow face, and he was malnourished at first glance.

"Goudan, why are you here?"

After hearing Caiwei's question, Goudan lowered his head and stammered: "Grandpa is sick again. I went to the medicine store to buy medicine on credit and just passed by here."

After hearing this, Caiwei reached out and took out a piece of silver weighing about one coin from the space and handed it over.

"Take your grandfather to the 'Shizhentang' medicine store last time to see a doctor. After I finish buying things, I will come to see you."

Goudan took the silver, bit his lip and said: "Thank you, sister, you are really a benefactor to my grandfather and me. Goudan will never forget you in my life."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Caiwei and ran away with the silver.

Caiwei entered the ready-made clothing shop, and the shop assistant came out and greeted Caiwei warmly.

"Miss, what do you want to buy? Now everything in the shop is half price. If you want to buy, hurry up, or it will be gone in a few days!"

Caiwei asked curiously: "Why is it half price?"

The assistant sighed and said: "Hey! Isn't the war coming soon? We are only two or three hundred miles away from Lingbei. The shopkeeper is afraid that the war will spread here, so he wants to sell all the goods and hide in the south for a while."

Caiwei looked at the goods in the shop, silk, satin, and various cloths, which are quite complete. There are also many dyed leathers and some ready-made clothes with exquisite workmanship hanging on the wall. Although they are not as exquisite and delicate as those in the capital, there are still some good-looking things.

Caiwei bought a Autumn Fragrance colored jacket, a pearl gray skirt, and a lilac colored cape. She went into the inner room to change clothes, changed out of her single clothes, and put on the new clothes.

Suddenly, a warm current flowed through her body, and the coldness in her body dissipated in an instant.

Caiwei came out and paid the silver. These three things would have been worth at least four or five taels of silver in the past, but because they were discounted by half, they only cost two taels, six cents, and three cents of silver.

It was indeed cheap. Caiwei was attracted by the price of this shop. These things were obviously sold at a loss. If she bought them all back and put them in her own cloth shop, she would definitely make a fortune.

Thinking of this, she bought a few more mink skins and a few black fox skins, and she didn't stop until she could hardly carry them.

"Miss, you have helped our shop to make more than two hundred taels of silver. I will send these goods to your home!"
