Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 240 - Celebrating the New Year (4)_1

Cai Wei looked at their greedy expressions, almost laughing her stomach out. The clothes in this bundle were collected from the concubines of Lü Junchen. Those concubines often use some despicable means to attract the attention of the house masters, such as infusing their clothes with a slow-acting aphrodisiac scent. When they were with the house master, it could unknowingly stir his emotions, without him realizing it.

Of course, she didn’t understand scents or any of these things. It was the old turtle who specially notified her about the unusual fragrance after whiffing it when she collected the clothes into her space.

The thought of these three women putting on these clothes and the consequences thereof caused Cai Wei to want to laugh. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the urge to smile.

The second bundle contained two brocade quilts with colourful patterns on them.

The Mu Liankui couple were very frugal when it came to living. Their quilts were old, particularly the ones used by Mu Liankui and Lady Mu Bai. They had been using them for nearly fifty years. Even the cotton in the quilts had become lumpy and hard, almost to the point where they could stand upright.

Hearing that Cai Wei had bought them new quilts, and feeling how thick and soft they were through the bundle, the Mu Liankui couple could not contain their joy and kept praising Cai Wei for being sensible. However, when they opened the bundle and saw the quilts, they almost fainted.

The quilts were good, and so was the cotton. Unfortunately, the patterns on the quilts were absurd and inappropriate. After just one look, Mu Liankui turned his face away in embarrassment and immediately flipped the quilt over to prevent anyone else from seeing it.

Curious about his father’s reaction, Mu Zhongli kept asking what was wrong. Mu Liankui waved his hand, signaling him not to ask any more questions and turned to Mu Zhongqing, asking, "Who bought these things? Where were they bought from?"

Cai Wei answered without changing her facial expression, "I bought them. A pawn shop was clearing out their old stock at the end of the year and selling everything cheap, so I bought everything and brought it here to show my filial piety!"

The old man asked again, "Did you not examine these goods?"

Cai Wei asked innocently, "What? Is there a problem with the quilts? I didn’t check these things, but the shopkeeper of that pawn shop often eats at our restaurant, he wouldn’t trick me."

The old man muttered to himself, "Good that she didn’t check, good that she didn’t check ..."

Upon seeing the exaggerated expression on the old man’s face, Cai Wei scoffed, thinking, "Is it because there is an embroidery depicting a life-size erotic scene on the quilt? What’s so embarrassing about that? I’ve seen it several times and I didn’t blush. This old man, with his thick skin, is pretending to be upright and making a big fuss, how ridiculous!"

In the third bundle were the clothes she had carefully chosen for the men in the main house. Lü Zhongma liked to flaunt his charm and had no shortage of brightly coloured clothes. Once, when he tried to drug and tarnish Cai Wei, he wore a red robe.

For the men of the main house, Cai Wei chose several very bright-coloured clothes, like red, green, and pink. Seeing those clothes made their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

Although these clothes were good, the material and craftsmanship were impeccable, these clothes were not meant for farmers. Imagine, them wearing a bright red or green robe, carrying a hoe and going to the field to work, how shockingly bizarre the scene would look! freēwēbηovel.c૦m

The fourth bundle contained some chinaware, bowls, cups, dishes, chopsticks, rinse bowls, and even a sputum bowl, which were all brought in a bundle. Among them, there were some exquisitely crafted chinaware which were obviously expensive. Unfortunately, the addition of a sputum bowl made the rest of the high-quality dishes look disgusting.

After checking the bundles, the people of the main house were all very dissatisfied. Most of the things they had agreed upon earlier were not bought.

Mu Liankui sat on the kang with a dignified expression of a senior, and said discontentedly, "As far as I remember, I had also asked for a basket of silver frost charcoal, a load of japonica rice, one hundred catties of fine flour, twenty catties of fat pork, ten catties of Daqu liquor, ten catties of lamp oil, twenty catties of soybean oil, and a hundred chickens..."
