As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Chapter 166 The First Piece of Jewelry for the Two Daughters-in-law

Then evenly place the chopped roses on top and let them dry in the sun.

The shredded radish must be dried. This is different from dried beans. If the shredded radish is not dried, the inside of the radish will turn black and deteriorate, and all your work will be in vain.

..........

Everything went smoothly for Chen Yan. He first went to Heshun Restaurant to sell the wild animals, and then went to the clothing store to accompany Zheng to buy things.

She had not originally planned to buy cloth because according to custom, the bride had to sew her own wedding dress.

But with Chen Qiqi's skills, if she were to sew the clothes herself, she probably wouldn't be able to wear them outside.

In the end, don't I have to sew it for her myself?

Recently, Zheng had no mood to sew clothes for her and just wanted to get the job done quickly. But when she asked the price, she found out that the ready-made clothes were so expensive!

"After all, it's a wedding dress, so the material must be more expensive, so the price of the finished dress is naturally higher."

"Look how bright this red is. It's impossible to be cheap when dyeing it this color."

The waiter on the side said, "Marrying off a daughter is only once in a while, so it doesn't matter if you spend a little more money."

This time they were not going to the same shop where they bought clothes last time. Chen Yan was mainly afraid that the proprietress might accidentally let the secret slip in front of Zheng, which would then be troublesome to explain.

So I just picked a shop on the street that I liked and went in.

Zheng asked about the price of cotton again, and couldn't help but be amazed when he heard the clerk's offer!

She remembered that the quilt she bought when the third brother got married was a bit expensive, but why is it even more expensive now?

So I asked directly, "It's March, the beginning of spring, and the price of cotton should be cheaper. Why is it rising?"

The waiter said helplessly, "Ma'am, you don't know that our boss is also confused."

"But the purchase price of cotton has also increased, so we have to raise the price. As for the reason, the supplier was vague, only saying that the output has decreased."

"I don't know why the cotton yield would drop in such a good year."

After hearing this, Chen Yan felt that this statement was not credible.

Cotton is planted in May and harvested in September. Last year was a bumper year, so the price will not go up even if there is too much of it.

Then there is only one possibility.

Some people are hoarding cotton, resulting in less and less inventory circulating in the market. Scarcity makes things valuable, so the price of cotton is naturally raised.

It seems that some people really took the words of the fifth-rank official to heart.

He guessed that maybe because the imperial court had extremely strict price controls on grain, they didn't dare to touch this area, so they could only start with clothing.

These scattered signs prove that some people of status and position have also realized that there may be changes in the future.

However, since they did not try to store food, it proved that they were also skeptical about this matter.

Many people are waiting and watching, without being very sure.

But why hoard cotton during a famine?

Could it be that something happened later that my wife had not experienced?

"well........"

It seems that I have to make the quilt myself this time. Zheng looked at the expensive cloth and cotton, gritted her teeth and just bought the materials, planning to make it herself at home.

No matter how bad Chen Qiqi's needlework is this time, she has to do it with her. We can't trouble her two sisters-in-law, right?

It would be fine if she was more obedient and sensible, but she usually either makes excuses to be lazy or says she is not feeling well and doesn't want to do housework.

After a while, even Xiao Zheng, who was good-tempered, began to resent her.

Not to mention the matter of Xiao Xia. Although Xiao Zheng didn't show it on her face, she knew that the two nieces had a good relationship since they were young.

Xiao Zheng must hate Chen Qiqi in her heart, so how could she be willing to help her with needlework?

I don't even have the face to mention this!

As for Wang, let alone her. If she were asked to help and recite it 800 times a day, her ears would be callused. And it's good enough that she doesn't do anything bad.

Chen Yan had already distributed the silver to Chen Ping. Although he didn't catch as many prey as the third brother this time, he was already very satisfied!

Being able to get silver can prove that all my hard work in hunting during this period has been fruitful!

Every two steps he took he would feel the silver in his pocket with a silly smile on his face.

Zheng even made fun of him, "Are you so happy to have made some money?"

He smiled innocently and said, "Of course not! This is the first time I make money from hunting!"

"It's all thanks to the third brother for teaching me so carefully!"

Chen Yan, who was walking in front, looked back at Chen Ping and said, "It's because you are willing to learn. If you don't study hard, it will be useless for me to teach you."

"By the way, wait for me for a moment."

He raised his hand and pointed to the jewelry store on the side of the road and smiled gently, "I have to buy some jewelry for my wife."

His tone suddenly became depressed, "She has been married for so long and she doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry..."

"Life at home is getting better now. As a husband, you really can't mistreat your wife!"

Zheng said with a smile of agreement.

The third son's wife is like a delicate flower. If she doesn't bring something, she is not worthy of the girl.

She is indeed a good person, otherwise she would not have thought of inviting her to go with her when she went to town this time.

After hearing what his brother said, Chen Ping suddenly remembered that he had been with Xiao Zheng for so many years, but he seemed to have never bought her a decent piece of jewelry.

"Wait for me, Third Brother. I want to go with you!"

Chen Yan slowed down his pace, and the two of them smiled knowingly and went to pick out jewelry for their wives.

Finally, Chen Yan picked out a silver hairpin, the style of which was an extremely delicate and small narcissus.

Although there were more complicated styles in the shop, which dazzled Chen Yan, a straight man, he fell in love with this narcissus hairpin at first sight.

Although this shop is small, the craftsmanship of the chef is excellent.

When making the hairpin, two thin branches and leaves as thin as cicada wings were carefully wrapped around the end of the flower head, making the silver flower look more lively and charming.

He could already imagine how this hairpin would look like on his wife's head.

I originally wanted to buy another pair of earrings, but then I remembered that my wife didn’t have her ears pierced, so I gave up.

Cui Yunzhu does not have pierced ears. In the countryside, girls in every household have their ears pierced since childhood.

Because I didn't remember the pain back then and it would pass quickly. It was better than suffering from the beating when I grow up.

But Zhou never thought of piercing her ears, because she didn't think that this daughter who was hated by the whole family would one day be able to wear gold and silver and have her own jewelry.

They thought that she would just marry a country bumpkin and the couple would live a hard life.

Her only goal was to earn a good dowry, and she didn't care who she married.

Who could have thought that the daughter whom she looked down upon the most in the past would now be the most successful and live the best life?

Chen Ping saw the hairpins in the store and wanted to buy one, but after asking the price, he found that he did not have enough money.

He was unwilling to let Chen Yan lend it to him, as he wanted to buy a piece of jewelry for his wife with his own ability!
