Chapter 342
Cheng looked at the silver notes and breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out a hundred taels of silver notes from it and handed them to Fan Pozi, saying, "Go to the garment shop, buy two sets of clothes for the wife and the second lady, and come back from changing clothes and two pairs of shoes and socks for the wife and the second lady."
As for Aunt Shen and Xi Han, Cheng Shi didn't even mention it. She didn't see Aunt Shen's expectant eyes, and said, "Buy me a pair of shoes, and come back, and look at the others."
One hundred taels of silver, six clothes, seven or eight pairs of shoes, socks, bedding and other items...what is enough?
Fan opened his mouth and wanted to say that the money was not enough. Seeing Cheng's gloomy expression, Fan immediately shut up and did not dare to say it... But he decided to buy it according to the money. If he couldn't afford silk, he would buy fine cotton materials.
"Mom, Ahan and I were running away in a hurry, and we had no clothes..."
"Then what are you?"
Cheng looked straight and looked at her wearing a new summer skirt she made this year.
Aunt Shen hurriedly defended, "Only this one can be replaced, right?"
Cheng originally didn't want to buy clothes for Aunt Shen, but when she thought that the Xi family's big house still owed Zou 8,000 taels of silver, she changed her words and told Fan, "Buy another one for Aunt Shen and Miss Third. What kind of clothes should you buy, just look at it."
Fan Po Zi responded, took a hundred taels of silver notes and hurriedly retreated.
Not long after, the three sisters of Xi Kaikaiyan, Kailian, Kaikaimei arrived.
Their husband and children were also with them.
The three sisters of the Xi family, watching their parents' house burned to ashes, were shocked and didn't know what to do.
Xi Kaiyan said, "My grandma, why are they burning? Did someone deliberately release this fire?"
"Yes, if the oil lamp fell and caught fire, it wouldn't have burned all seven small yards in an instant." Xi Kaimei also felt that the fire was a little strange, and she suspected that someone deliberately set fire.
Cheng had long been suspicious, and she even sent someone to report to the official position, but after so long, she had not seen the official position.
She said, "The servants sent to report to the officials have been there for almost two hours. The man hasn't come back yet. A Yin, why don't you go to the yamen to have a look?"
A Yin is Wang Youyin, Xi Kailan's husband, and the head of the Wang family.
Wang Youyin said respectfully, "Mother-in-law told her to go for a trip, so don't worry, the son-in-law knows how to do it."
"Well, I don't worry, you go quickly, if you can't do this for a day, I won't feel at ease."
Cheng said, glanced at Song Gaochang and said, "Achang, you go with Ayin, and then go to the prison to see Alin. I don't know how he is doing in the prison. By the way, don't tell him about the fire at home. Telling him will only add to his sadness. Instead, he is so tired that he is thinking about his family. Don't say anything, you all agree that you can buy some wine and food on the way to give him food."
But when I go to report to an official, why did I go to visit my brother-in-law?
Wang Youyin's eyes flashed, and he nodded and responded.
Song Gaochang lowered his eyes and replied yes.
After both sons-in-law left, Cheng ordered the butler to take his son-in-law Zhu Tingmo to sit in the pavilion in the back garden. Aunt Shen and the maids and mothers were also sent out by her excuse, leaving only Wang and three daughters to talk in the room.
