“How much?”
The shopkeeper was stunned, but he didn’t expect that she was serious. “Two taels of silver.”
Although this suit of clothes was made of silk and satin, the style was old. It had been here for many years, but no one had bought it.
Those who could afford silk and satin clothes were the children of wealthy families. It was impossible for children like them to buy it in ready-made clothing stores. Their clothes were always made by professionals at home.
The shopkeeper didn’t dare to raise the price too high for fear of scaring her.
Bei Yutang took two taels of silver from her purse and put it on the counter. The shopkeeper was stunned. He didn’t expect that she actually had the money to buy it.
The smile on the shopkeeper’s face immediately became enthusiastic, “Young Master, go in and try.”
Xiao Zimo also thought the same thing as the shopkeeper. He looked into his mother’s eyes again and entered the inner room holding this expensive set of clothes. After a while, the curtain was lifted, and a little bean sprout was seen dragging on a long coat. It felt like he had secretly worn an adult’s clothes, and his pink face was wrinkled like a little bun, which was full of joy.
Bei Yutang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Xiao Zimo saw his mother laughing, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper thought that the clothes might not be sold anymore. With such generosity, this woman would definitely not buy it.
Bei Yutang looked up and down Xiao Zimo’s clothes. The clothes were a bit long and wide, but with a little modification, they could be worn. The color of this suit matches Xiao Zimo’s skin color very well.
Bei Yutang put another piece of cotton clothing on Xiao Zimo, “Put on this one and show it to Mother.”
Xiao Zimo went in obediently, and when he came out again, this time he surprised Bei Yutang and the shopkeeper. After changing into a suit of well-fitting clothes and paired with Xiao Zimo’s handsome face, he looked like a young master from a rich family.
“Oh, my young master, this suit looks good on you. It’s no different from tailor-made clothes.” The shopkeeper admired it from the bottom of his heart.
Bei Yutang agreed with what he said and then tried on a few more sets of clothes for him. While Xiao Zimo was changing clothes, Bei Yutang also picked four sets of clothes for herself.
The colors and styles of her clothes were simple, and the clothes that were too bright were really not suitable for her huge body and pockmarked face.
Mother and son each bought four sets of cotton clothes, and Xiao Zimo bought one more set of satin clothes. This trip cost five taels of silver.
Xiao Zimo looked on and felt a little distressed. When paying, he couldn’t help but want his mother to buy less. In fact, he only needed one set of clothes.
The two of them left the clothing store wearing new clothes and then went to the bookstore. Bei Yutang selected the Four Treasures of the Study1Four Treasures of the Study (文房四宝, wén fáng sì bǎo) is an expression used to refer to the ink brush, inkstick, paper, and ink stone used in Chinese calligraphy and painting. The name stems from the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589 AD)., rice paper, and some basic enlightenment books and copybooks.
It costs twenty taels of silver in the bookstore. They all said that reading books was burning silver, which was not false at all. Everything used by the literati was not cheap.
“Mother, why do you want to buy these things?”
Some of these things are inedible and would be a waste if you buy them back.
Twenty taels of silver, that’s a lot of money.
“Zimo, Mother said that I would let you go to school. Now Mother will hand you the foundation first, and when you get to the school after the spring of next year, I will let the Master teach you knowledge.”
Xiao Zimo’s steps paused and looked at her with a shocked face.
Xiao Zimo paused in his steps and looked at her in shock.
“Mom, you, you want me to study?”
Studying costs a lot of money. In the village, only Wang Xiaobao from the Zheng family and Liu Qing from the Liu family study in the school. He heard from the adults that they would all be promising in the future and could become high-ranking officials, and all the children in the village would envy them.
