Seeing this, Wang Youbao opened his mouth and shouted toward the outside, "Daming!"
Yu Daming, who was guarding outside, immediately rushed in and anxiously asked, "What’s the matter, young master?"
"Go buy four bottles of top-grade honey."
"Young master, what do you need the honey for?"
"If I tell you to go buy, just go buy."
"But that’ll cost quite a bit of money..." A bottle of ordinary honey already costs over a thousand taels, let alone top-grade, which definitely costs more than ten thousand taels.
"First, go to the Accounting Room and take fifty thousand taels, and if that’s not enough, come back for more."
After Yu Daming left, Wang Youbao suddenly realized what he had done and was full of regret. Nobody had asked him for it, so why did he buy it?
While thinking this, Wang Youbao thought of calling Yu Daming back, but after opening his mouth, he closed it again.
It was just a few tens of thousands of taels, he could easily earn it back, so let it be spent, it’s nothing serious.
Having reassured himself, Wang Youbao continued reading the letter. At the end of the letter, Li Wuyu said she would definitely come back to Hecheng County again. Wang Youbao felt a faint joy in his heart, however, being the insensitive man he was, he didn’t notice this. Instead, he remembered Li Wuyu’s words about beating him down and immediately tucked the letter away into his bosom, returning to his room to change clothes, planning to practice boxing and stick-fighting.
He could not let himself be beaten down by a girl!
At this moment, Wang Youbao had completely forgotten that men and women should not touch, and if Li Wuyu, a girl, wanted to fight with him, he would certainly abide by etiquette and not fight back.
As soon as they left Wang Youbao’s house, Xiao Changyi and An Jing went to Wanbu Pavilion to buy fabric, not only for the clothes of the babies in their bellies but also for their own clothes.
The new year was coming, and they both needed two new sets of clothes.
Considering that Shi Xiaolan wouldn’t have that much time every day to make clothes while taking care of two children, An Jing planned to only have her make the clothes for the two little ones in her belly; as for her and her husband’s clothes, they would let the tailors in Wanbu Pavilion make them.
In fact, the Emperor of Xiyun and Su Chengyu had given them a lot of brocade fabric, but they didn’t bring it back with them.
Coarse cloth, hemp cloth, satin, silk, damask, brocade - the quality increased in that order, showing that brocade was the highest grade of fabric here.
However, they were to work in the fields, and while clothes made of brocade were comfortable and beautiful, it would be wasteful to wear them for farm work.
Nevertheless, when they were in the palace, they had several sets of pajamas made from brocade, which they did bring back, and wearing those to sleep was truly comfortable.
Having come out of Wanbu Pavilion, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to various shops to buy some New Year goods that could be prepared now.
Xiao Changyi had memorized all the precautions for pregnant women that Doctor Fang had written, and knowing that pregnant women should eat walnuts despite their high cost, he especially bought quite a few.
He also bought a lot of sunflower seeds for An Jing to snack on.
As well as a considerable amount of candied fruit.
In the end, Xiao Changyi did not forget to buy some fresh apples and pears.
An Jing, watching Xiao Changyi buy, buy, buy for her, felt extremely sweet inside, and her smile was broad, until she saw the fresh apples and pears he bought and asked with puzzlement, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll catch a cold, and so you don’t let me eat anything cold?"
"It’s not for you to eat raw, it’s for stewing into soup for you to drink," he paused, "Doctor Fang said that eating these would be good for you." He couldn’t let her catch a cold, so he had to find this way for her to be able to eat these.
Listening to her husband’s words, An Jing felt incredibly sweet inside.
Then, on the way home, taking advantage of the empty road, An Jing rewarded her husband with several kisses.
