"Miss, I have no shortage of clothes..."

"Yes, there are all slaves and maids..."

"It's up to the lady to choose!"

"Miss, let me choose for you. I don't need it."

The four maids were so moved that no one had any idea of ​​choosing the fabric.

In good times, I hold the gold tightly, for fear of losing it.

"pick--"

The ancestor was not one to be pretentious, so she stared at the four maids with a stern face and spoke again.

"You girls are so lucky. My mistress feels sorry for you, but you can't let her good intentions go to waste!"

At this time, the shopkeeper who was in a daze at the counter came to his senses, stared at the gold ingot in Liangchen's hand with burning eyes, and came forward with a smile on his round belly.

"Come on, come on, these materials are all newly arrived, but they are new from the south. The four girls will just select them to ensure that you are satisfied."

The shopkeeper, who is in his thirties, has a plump and cheerful appearance, and a smiling face when he talks. He seems to be someone who knows how to get things done.

He was also surprisingly strong, and he brought five or six pieces of good fabrics with bright colors and different patterns in one arm. He placed them on the counter nearest the four maids and asked them to choose with a smile.

With his diligent attitude, he can be said to be a model figure in the service industry. Unfortunately, there was no excellence award in ancient times, so he must be the winner!

The shopkeeper's enthusiasm and the ancestor's arrogance left the four maids at a loss as to what to do.

"Four girls, please don't be polite. Let's see what colors you like. If you are not satisfied, there are still some. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

As the fat shopkeeper spoke, he glanced at the gold ingot in Liangchen's hand. At this glance, he smiled brighter and more sincerely, and he only had to use his hands to make gestures for the four indifferent maids!

"Young ladies haven't been chosen yet, so how can we be the maids?"

The fabrics in front of me were very good, and there was no choice in colors or styles, but Youdong still abided by her duty as a maid, pouting and not moving.

When Youdong said this, the other three people nodded.

This made the fat shopkeeper anxious. He looked at the gold ingot in Liangchen's hand, and then looked at the ancestor who was standing aside solemnly and silently.

But when he saw it, he felt frightened.

The ancestor's little face was extremely pink and beautiful, but the invisible aura on his body was also uniquely coercive, making the fat shopkeeper dare not speak rashly for fear of offending her.

"This... this little... lady, there are good ingredients here that are suitable for you. Would you like to take a look too?"

After mustering up the courage to say these words, the fat shopkeeper smiled coquettishly, then turned his back and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

I thought to myself, which lady is so powerful?

But did it scare him?

"My lady doesn't like bright colors. Could you please the shopkeeper to bring out all the fine fabrics in elegant colors for my lady to see?"

It would be impossible for the ancestor to choose the fabric by himself.

Therefore, Liangchen had the final say, but the fat shopkeeper was very happy.

"Okay...girl, please wait a moment, I'll go get it now."

With a smile, the shopkeeper turned around and went to the shelf at the back to pull out a few pieces of light-colored fabric and bring them over.

"Miss, please take a look. These are the best materials in our store. The colors are elegant and unique. They are excellent for making dresses and jackets. Even if you want to show off your favorite patterns on them, they are also excellent. We also have multi-color shows."

Lines for you to choose from, you see..."

After the fat shopkeeper finished speaking, he glanced at the ancestor carefully, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and waited for the answer.

Six pieces of solid-color fine fabrics on the counter glowed with a faint luster, in six colors: light blue, silver grey, snow-green, silver white, light yellow, and light tea.

The ancestor, who had no intention of choosing materials for himself, glanced at the several pieces of fabric in front of the fat shopkeeper and frowned slightly.

The frown on his brow made the fat shopkeeper's heart twitch, and he became worried.

"If the lady doesn't like it..."

"Just these two and those two."

The fat shopkeeper desperately wanted to earn the gold ingot in Liangchen's hands. Just when he was thinking about whether to bring over a few more pieces of cloth for the ancestor to pick through, the ancestor spoke.

She stretched out her slender white fingers and pointed at the four pieces of cloth: light blue, silver grey, snow green, and silver white. After saying this, she no longer looked at the cloth or the fat shopkeeper with a surprised look on his face.

"Can you please shopkeeper, please wrap these four pieces of cloth, my lady wants them all."

The surprise came so unexpectedly that the fat shopkeeper didn't even react, so Liangchen spoke up to remind him.

"Okay, these four horses are made of good quality. I will wrap them up for the young lady."

The fat shopkeeper grinned happily, but the movements of his hands were not ambiguous at all. He took the pure white cotton cloth and carefully wrapped it up.

"The mistress has already made her choice, the four girls can feel free to choose the materials they like!"

Even though the shopkeeper is fat, he is a fat man who is clever and eloquent. He quickly wraps his hands in cloth and guides the four maids to shop.

Just as Liangchen was about to say something, the ancestor looked at her and she immediately shut up. The other three also chose to shut up obediently.

"Then let's choose!"

Liangchen knew that he must consume something today, so under the watchful eye of his ancestor, he took the other three people and started selecting fabrics.

After a while, each of them selected a suit of fabric.

"Miss, the slave has been chosen!"

Coral hugged her favorite material and spoke happily.

But the ancestor looked at the four of them quietly and said nothing.

Seeing this, the fat shopkeeper on the side wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the ancestor secretly, and made a bold guess.

"How about... four... four girls... pick some more..."

The fat shopkeeper said this fearfully, earning an appreciative look from the ancestor.

This made the fat shopkeeper so happy that he became bolder and his tongue started to wander, and he enthusiastically introduced the fabric to the four maids.

"This color is great, perfect for a girl!"

"This color is beautiful, and it is most suitable for girls to wear..."

"This is not bad, it will look good on a girl..."

"Look at this girl. It's the most sought-after material. This horse is sold out and I don't know when I can get it..."

So, under the 'force' in the ancestor's eyes and the fat shopkeeper's enthusiastic promotion, the four maids finally chose four pieces of fabric each, but they felt bad for them.

"Miss, there are too many slaves..."

"Bill, please!"

Youdong, the youngest, was holding the ingredients with a confused look on his face, but the ancestor did not give her a chance to speak and boldly called the fat shopkeeper to pay.

"Yes, please wait a moment, miss!"

This big deal made the fat shopkeeper extremely happy. He agreed and quickly took the abacus and started doing calculations.

Suddenly, in the rather small shop, the clear and crisp sound of abacus beads colliding could be heard, which inexplicably made the ancestor feel happy.

"The total amount is one hundred and twenty-two taels. I will charge you one hundred and twenty-two taels of silver to make the change. I will also give you some good silk thread for the lady to use for color matching."

After the fat shopkeeper finished the calculation, he looked at the ancestor with a smile, and occasionally looked at the large gold ingot in Liangchen's hand.

The meaning is obvious, the gold ingot now belongs to him!

"for you--"

Liangchen finally handed over the gold ingot with great pain.

The fat shopkeeper took it with both hands with a face of joy, shook it in his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"I will charge you 20 taels of gold and convert it into 200 taels of silver. After removing the materials, I will get 120 taels of silver. I will give you another 80 taels of silver..."

The fat shopkeeper shouted loudly and quickly counted out the money and gave it to Liangchen.

At this point, the ancestor finally had an intuitive understanding of the currency and prices here.

But understanding is one thing, and the concept of money is another!

In more than a thousand years, my ancestors have never spent money in a meaningful sense.

Whatever she needs, someone will bring it to her, so she really has no idea about money.
