Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Song Shiwei didn't expect Lin Ting to be so easy to deceive. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, Lin Ting looked guilty. He turned his eyes left and right but didn't dare to meet their gazes.

Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of Lin Ting's self-inflicted tragedy in the book, and sighed softly.

Knowing that she was going to travel through a book, Song Shiwei stayed up all night to finish reading the book. With her photographic memory, Song Shiwei remembered all the characters that appeared in the book. Although Lin Ting was not described much in the book, Song Shiwei, who was in love, had a deep memory of him.

In the book, after Xie An became emperor, Lin Ting met Shen Yan by chance and fell in love with him at first sight. She was determined to marry him, even if the two families were not well matched and she could only be a concubine. She was willing to do so. But she didn't know that Shen Yan had no feelings for her, not even a good impression of her. After failing to intimidate her, the two parted unhappily. Later, Lin Ting was instigated by someone to have a relationship with Shen Yan.

Shen Yan mistakenly thought that Lin Ting was the one who climbed into bed with him, and he hated her even more. After taking her as a concubine, he left her to fend for herself in the backyard. Even if she was maliciously slandered by others, it was her fault because of preconceived notions. Lin Ting's sincerity did not receive any response, and she was even bullied by others. Shen Yan also did not believe her, and eventually died of depression, dying in the snow that year.

"Shi Wei? Shi Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Song Shiwei came back to his senses instantly and looked at Lin Ting suspiciously with inquiring eyes.

"I just said that we'll go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick out some jewelry for you and Wanwan, and I'll pay for it."

Song Shi frowned slightly: "No need, I don't like those external things, and I don't lack them."

Lin Ting seemed to have just realized it, and tilted her head to look at her: "Yes, I have known you for such a long time, but I have never seen you wearing jewelry. But how can a girl not dress herself up? I still have to buy some, even if I don't wear it."

"Yes, Niao Niao is right, Shi Wei, you are just too plain-looking. It's fine at home, but when you go out, you will inevitably be flattered by people outside. You should prepare some presentable jewelry."

Song Shiwei waved her hands helplessly: "I have jewelry, but I just don't like to wear it. You can buy yours, don't worry about me."

Thinking back to the time when he had taken a lot of jewelry from Cao Chong, given Cao Chong's status and power, he would not keep anything other than the best. Song Shiwei had taken a look and found that there were no special marks on those jewelry, and after so long, even if he wore them and stood in front of Cao Chong, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize that they were his things.

Lin Ting had no choice but to nod: "Okay then."

Seeing the two people look disappointed, Song Shiwei smiled gently: "But I plan to go look at ready-made clothes later and buy a few sets of good materials."

When Lin Tingli Wan heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Song Shiwei with great energy.

"Come with me to choose a few sets."

The two nodded repeatedly and said in unison: "Okay."

Lin Ting looked at Song Shiwei with sparkling eyes. God knew how much she loved shopping for clothes and jewelry with her good sister.

Li Wan was equally excited. She really liked the feeling of looking at clothes and jewelry with her good friend, especially for a beautiful woman like Song Shiwei. With such a beautiful appearance, no matter what clothes she wore or what jewelry she matched, she would look good.

Song Shiwei had no idea what the two were thinking. After they arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, the three of them got off the carriage one by one. The coachman drove the carriage to an open space nearby and waited. Lin Ting couldn't wait to pull the two of them into the Treasure Pavilion. After waving away the waiter who came to ask questions, he pulled the two of them straight to the counter at the innermost part.

"All these are new products. Please help me see which one is suitable for me," Lin Ting said and asked the waiter to bring out the jewelry, whether it was a hairpin or earrings.

Lin Ting was also a regular customer of the Treasure Pavilion. The waiter had a deep impression of her, especially because she only looked at the style and not the money. She was more generous than many daughters of high-ranking officials and gave the most money as rewards. Therefore, when he heard what Lin Ting said, he directly took out the most expensive and best-looking jewelry.

Lin Ting took a quick look at the jewelry, and then her eyes brightened up when she landed on one. "This golden curtain comb is nice, it just happens to be the single spiral bun I'm wearing today. Wanwan, please help me put it on and try it out."

Li Wan put the golden curtain comb on Lin Ting and admired it for a while before saying, "You have good taste. This golden curtain comb really looks good on you."

The waiter brought two bronze mirrors at the right time so that Lin Ting could see more clearly.

Lin Ting touched the golden curtain comb, and he did not hide his love for it. He immediately decided: "Then let's take this one. Wrap it up for me. I'll take a look at the others."

"Okay, Miss Lin," the waiter carefully took down the golden comb.

Lin Ting nodded with a smile, and pulled Song Shiwei and Li Wan to continue looking: "Help me look at the hairpin again."

Song Shiwei's eyes fell on the wooden tray. He glanced at it and picked up a magnolia hairpin, then gestured on Lin Ting's bun: "Not bad."

"Shi Wei, you have very good taste. This is the one I'll take," Lin Ting said as he handed the hairpin to the waiter who was waiting on the side.

When she finally walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Ting had already bought six hairpins, three hairpins, two step-shaking ornaments, a pair of gold and jade earrings, and a peace bracelet. She also gave Song Shiwei a pear blossom tortoiseshell hairpin and Li Wan a butterfly hairpin.

It can be said that the harvest was fruitful. The triumphant Lin Ting, accompanied by the helpless Song Shiwei and Li Wan, went out under the enthusiastic escort of the treasure pavilion shopkeeper.

The waiter at the Treasure Pavilion handed it to Uncle Fu in person, and Lin Ting took the two of them into the car: "Uncle Fu, let's go to Huajin Pavilion."

After instructing Uncle Fu, Lin Ting turned around and explained to Song Shiwei: "Hua Jin Pavilion is one of the best silk shops in the capital. It has a complete range of materials, and the ready-made clothes are very beautiful and in many styles. You can choose the style you like and ask them to make it. If Hua Jin Pavilion is not busy, it can be made in three to five days. If it is busy, it will only take seven or eight days."

Song Shiwei nodded.

Lin Ting added, "It's hot now, why not make it with wide or straight sleeves, it will be cooler. As for the material and color matching, you have to decide for yourself."

"Wide sleeves or straight sleeves only look good when made into a pleated skirt. Any other style will inevitably look weird when paired with it."

Song Shiwei still nodded.

After arriving at Huajin Pavilion, the three of them directly called the shopkeeper and repeated what the two had said in the car.

Lin Ting gently pushed Song Shiwei forward: "Let her choose."

Song Shiwei looked at the two of them helplessly, and then said, "Just make it a wide-sleeved folded skirt. You can choose the color. Just a little bit, a light color will do."

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't worry, miss. I'll remember it and will carefully match the colors for you. Do you have any materials you like? Recently, the store has received a lot of materials. Would you like to choose one?"

"Thank you."

The shopkeeper led the three people to the innermost part, pointed at the pieces of fabric on the table and said with a smile: "Miss, you can try your hands on them and feel them."

Lin Ting could tell at a glance that these materials were all silk and satin. Silk is a silk fabric with a crisp and fine surface and a smooth feel; satin is a fine linen woven fabric with a smooth, shiny and fine appearance. Generally speaking, both materials are very good, but Lin Ting prefers brocade or silk. Naturally, the prices of these two are also quite good.
