Chapter 233: Chapter 232: Extravagant Shopping_1
As the carriage moved away down the street, Qin Yi suddenly broke into laughter.
"Pan’er, how did you know that roll of fabric was worth five taels of silver?"
"Just a guess!"
Su Pan’er quietly gazed out the window, "Ordinary cotton fabric typically costs one tael of silver per roll. The fabric we just saw was of excellent quality, which made me think it could be worth five taels."
"Doctor Su, your expertise is simply unbeatable!"
Overlord Tiger, who was driving the carriage, hurriedly flattered her, "You really got it right. That store carefully organized their fabrics according to price; everything on that counter was indeed five taels per roll."
He couldn’t help but give her a big thumbs-up in admiration.
Su Pan’er simply smiled.
"What a shame, I was originally planning to pick out several rolls of fabric to bring back to my parents. But after that little incident, I didn’t even get to buy any fabric. It really is..."
Overlord Tiger’s eyeballs started to roll around in his sockets.
"That is easy to handle, there is another big textile store ahead. How about I take you there to look around?"
Su Pan’er hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright."
"Hold on tight!"
Overlord Tiger gave a sharp flick of the reins, and the carriage immediately swerved and galloped off in a different direction.
Before long, the carriage came to a stop. "Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, we are at the textile store."
Su Pan’er and Qin Yi alighted from the carriage and looked up to see a grand textile store as promised.
"Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, this textile store isn’t just large, there is a silver goods shop right next to it, and the jewelry there is among the best in all of Yongze County. Let’s go in and check it out."
Overlord Tiger tirelessly promoted the stores.
"With Lord Ba’s recommendation like this, we really should take a look. Let’s go in."
Qin Yi’s curiosity was piqued by Overlord Tiger’s description and chuckled in reply.
Su Pan’er also gave a gentle laugh and walked into the store.
Overlord Tiger quickly followed suit.
The moment the shop assistant spotted Overlord Tiger, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward, "Oh, Lord Ba, do you have esteemed guests with you today? Please, allow me to show you to a private room."
As he spoke, he quickly ushered Su Pan’er and Qin Yi into a private room.
In the private room, they were quickly served refreshments and an array of sweets and fruit, making them feel very well taken care of.
"Who would have thought, Overlord Tiger, you certainly have a way about you. Even such a big store treats you like an honored guest."
Su Pan’er looked around the room and teased the big fellow.
"Doctor Su, what are you trying to imply with your words!"
Overlord Tiger, who was in the middle of pouring tea for Su Pan’er and Qin Yi, couldn’t help but let out a weak laugh and discreetly leaned close to them to explain.
"The boss of this store is a friend of our young master, and our young master is also a partner. The two of you are friends of our young master, that’s why I brought you here. The shopkeeper and assistant here are so considerate because they are doing it for the sake of our young master. Otherwise, just based on my face alone, the real boss of this store wouldn’t even give me a second glance."
So, that’s what’s really going on!
Understanding dawned in Su Pan’er’s eyes.
"In that case, let the shop assistant bring over some various rolls of fabric to see. Keep the price around one tael of silver per roll of fabric. Also, let him bring over some ready-made new clothes to look at."
"Right away!"
Overlord Tiger took the orders and went to relay them.
Qin Yi looked around and said, "Since we have some time to kill while waiting for the shop assistant to bring over the items, why don’t we go take a look at the silver goods shop? You don’t even have a suitable hair accessory for going out."
Su Pan’er initially wanted to refuse, but then remembered that she indeed did not have any suitable jewelry.
Finally, she nodded, "Alright, let’s go have a look."
"No need, no need. I will ask them to bring over the best pieces for us to choose. You just sit and enjoy your tea, leave the rest to me."
Overlord Tiger hastily spoke before quickly running off.
"When it comes to the jewelry in the bride price, there should have been two sets. Just that at that time, I was ill and had spent all the savings we had at home on medical fees, so that’s why..."
Shame and guilt hung heavily in Qin Yi’s words.
"Pffft! Cough, cough, cough..."
The memory of a certain incident made Su Pan’er laugh out loud at his words. She quickly put down her teacup, "If I remember correctly, when Overlord Tiger went to coerce your mother, she casually took out dozens of taels of silver from the house. Are you sure you spent all the Qin family savings on your medical bills?"
What she said left Qin Yi speechless for a long time, tongue-tied.
The shock on his face was enough for Su Pan’er to not resist comforting him.
"Don’t think about what happened in the past. From now on, it will just be you and me living a good life. Once the old disease in your body is entirely removed, everything will be fine."
"No, I was just thinking, why don’t you buy more jewelry for yourself."
Qin Yi clearly didn’t want to continue the previous conversation, "I have seen on several occasions where ladies would use the jewelry on their heads as a reward."
What he said wasn’t a lie.
Even though Su Pan’er had only been sitting here for a while, she had already seen two ladies taking off their jewelry to reward their servants.
"We can do that, I’ll pick out a few more pieces."
She secretly calculated how much silver she had left to see how many pieces of silver jewelry she could buy.
The shop assistant and Overlord Tiger came back quickly.
"Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, please have a look at these. Each of these rolls of fabric is one tael of silver per roll. As for these ready-made clothes, I’m afraid the sizes may not fit perfectly. For the jewelry, we have brought quite a collection. Feel free to take your time to pick."
Seeing all these items, Su Pan’er, as a woman, naturally had her eyes shine bright!
Each roll of fabric was even better than the fine cotton fabric they saw earlier. It was obvious that Overlord Tiger was being generous.
Su Pan’er didn’t hold back and picked out several rolls of fabric.
As for the ready-made clothes, there were several made from ordinary cotton and some made from silk gauze.
She picked four sets of wear-resistant clothes for herself and two sets for Qin Yi. She initially wanted to pick two more sets for Ke’er and Shuang’er, but the store didn’t have children’s clothes, so she had to give up.
As for the jewelry, there were just too many options – gold, silver, gemstones, agate, sandalwood...They had everything you could ask for, leaving Su Pan’er spoilt for choice.
Qin Yi was also very enthusiastic and carefully selected a few items, occasionally holding a piece or two up to Su Pan’er’s head to see how they looked.
He seemed more invested in this than Su Pan’er herself.
Shortly, they had picked out several pieces.
In the end, Su Pan’er only chose two items herself.
One was a hairpin made from peach wood, simple yet durable, perfect for holding up her hair.
The other was a gold-plated silver hairpin with pearls and jade, with an unknown material used for the pin’s body. Su Pan’er secretly used her Inner Strength but failed to damage it at all. Especially since the body of the hairpin was hollow, which made it a convenient place to hide small items. If needed, it could also serve as a self-defense weapon.
She picked out two other pieces of jewelry and put them together.
"Find out how much all these rolls of fabric, clothes, and jewelry cost."
Overlord Tiger’s mouth twitched seeing Su Pan’er and Qin Yi only choose a handful of items.
He thought of the several female tigers back at his home who wanted to buy up the whole Silver Tower every time they went shopping.
Where would they be like Su Pan’er?
"Doctor Su, isn’t this too little? You only have... even if you add everything up, it won’t even come up to a hundred taels of silver, this really is... too little."
