Chapter 399: Let Me Explain
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Mi noticed that Sun Xiu and the others hadn’t chosen one for themselves, but there was one that was set aside. She guessed that it was either Han Qiao who chose it for herself or she chose it for her mother. She smiled and pulled her two younger sisters so they could choose together.
She also gave them some pointers and general knowledge of the types of fabrics.
Han Qiao also listened with great interest.
There were still many things that she didn’t know, so she listened attentively to Li Mi’s explanation.
Li Mi wasn’t trying to show off. She genuinely had a lot of things to say about the topic. Her two sisters mentally noted Li Mi’s explanation so that they would not be ridiculed when they went out to the capital in the future.
Those people in the capital were all self-righteous.
Which made them harder to get along with.
There were several kinds of fabrics that Emperor Zhao Qian had given them.
Li Mi used a few of them for comparison.
Not only did Sun Xiu and Sun Yi learn something new, but Han Qiao had also learned a valuable lesson. She compared the fabrics herself and noticed that there were differences.
Sure enough, there were different textures, and so many patterns on one piece of fabric.
Li Mi noticed that Han Qiao was also attentively listening to her, so she took the time to explain more in detail.
“Let’s get someone to bring some fabrics from various places in the capital. We’ll study it properly.” Han Qiao said.
“We’ll have to broaden our horizons and increase our knowledge.”
Li Mi was very much in agreement, “Mother, then let’s buy more. We can make clothes for comparison, and if it’s good, we can even open a clothing shop in town.”
Li Mi also started to like making money now.
The pearl shop that she and her two sisters opened together did not do well at first. But after some time, as they continued to make shoes, purses, and then some small accessories, the business gradually improved and they could earn some silver every month.
Sun Xiu and Sun Yi quickly expressed their agreement with Li Mi’s suggestion.
If they open a shop and make money, they could save whatever they earn, so if their parents needed it one day, they could support them.
“Okay, let’s do that.”
He Cheng, Ah-Yao, and Sun Ke didn’t care much about these things. They just cared about playing.
And besides, their Mother and sisters would make the arrangements.
Kids only cared about being happy.
After the fabrics were chosen, Han Qiao had the rest taken to the storeroom.
They chose a few high-quality shops, Li Mi, Sun Xiu, and Sun Yi each took one to play a hand in managing their own business themselves.
Han Qiao also chose some fabrics for Duofu, He Cheng, and Sun Ke, and asked Cui Guo to put them in a brocade box and made sure it was kept in the depth of the box. When the children were older, understood the value of precious things, and learned how to cherish them, she would give it to them.
“Oh, and send this fabric to Duofu. She needs to have two sets of new clothes for the New Year.”
Han Qiao tried her best to be fair.
She also asked Cui Guo to tell the nanny about their plan to split the inheritance to Duofu as well, so that the nanny would not even think to mistreat the Fourth Young Lady of the Marquis family.
Heng Yi was getting busier and busier these days.
The soldiers in the barracks had to carry heavy loads when they did their runs in the mountains and forests. At first, the soldiers started with only carrying 30 pounds, but now, they graduated to carrying 60 pounds. Heng Yi, on the other hand, carried 300 pounds by himself.
Seeing their General, some soldiers wanted to challenge themselves by adding ten or twenty pounds to their load. By the end of the lap, they were all as tired as dead dogs. None of them wanted to move from the ground they were lying on.
However, the results of good hard work were still obvious. At the very least, they noticed how their endurance and strength had increased. Although they were still exhausted at the end of the one lap, they knew they would recover after a good night’s rest.
“Don’t just sit there. Get up and move around. The mutton soup is ready. Prepare the hot water.”
“Drink your soup before taking a bath.”
At the mention of mutton soup, the soldiers felt alive again.
One by one the soldiers got up and went to get their soup.
With a bowl of hot soup in their hands, they felt their heart warmed up.
Heng Yi also ate mutton soup.
The only difference between him and the soldiers was that he could eat a bowl every day.
“Marquis, there’s a letter from the capital.”
Heng Yi received a secret letter from Emperor Zhao Qian.
After reading it, Heng Yi remained silent for a moment before he snorted.
He knew what to do..
