Yang Ming learned from his second brother that Xiaoxiao had actually sent them those things. He suddenly realized, no wonder his wife was eavesdropping at the corner of the wall the previous night. Did his wife have this kind of hobby?
After the two returned to their room, "Yang Ming, what did the second brother ask you to do?"
"He said the things you sent are very useful!"
"..." Huh! What had she sent again? She was totally clueless.
"What about the matching set for couples? The elder brother and the second brother both received one; how come I didn’t?"
Xiaoxiao’s hands stopped moving. It hit her like a bolt of lightning; she instantly understood what Yang Ming was referring to when he mentioned the gift for his second brother.
So it worked? The second brother and his wife had...! The second brother really liked it! Maybe her invention could indeed open up a market. Her mind started to wander again.
"..." His wife didn’t answer, just kept grinning foolishly. What was going on with that, "Do we have one?"
Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality, "You wish!"
"..." He had expressed his palpitations so many times; why couldn’t his wife understand? He felt let down once again.
"Yang Ming, I’m going to the county town to find Wang Xiangxiang later, and you better not come!"
"It’s all womankind matters; there’s no need for you, a big man, to get involved."
"It’s okay, I’ll wait for you outside!"
"..." She had recently discovered that this cheap husband of hers was like a sticky burr impossible to shake off!
In fact, Yang Ming just wanted to spend more time with her because he was going to the Academy again soon.
The two of them thus reached the county town by oxcart, and suddenly Xiaoxiao remembered something crucial she hadn’t done.
"Yang Ming, I have a task for you!"
"While I go to see Wang Xiangxiang, you go buy an oxcart. Our family must own an oxcart now!"
Xiaoxiao would be of no use going herself, as she didn’t know how to choose an ox, and she didn’t like the stench of so many oxen together. She only cared for the outcome; being able to ride in an oxcart in the end was all that mattered.
Yang Ming dropped off Xiaoxiao at the largest Xiangxiang Cloth Shop in the county town and then took the silver to pick out an oxcart.
"Xiaoxiao, you’re here!" Wang Xiangxiang immediately came out to greet her upon seeing her.
"Sister Wang, happy new year!"
"Happy New Year, happy new year, come inside quickly!"
The two quickly went into the inner room. Without any small talk, Xiaoxiao immediately took out the samples, "Take a look!"
Wang Xiangxiang held the samples, both shocked and delighted, grabbing the bras and panties, "Xiaoxiao, these are so beautiful!"
"Hurry, pick a set for me, I want to try!" Saying that, she began to undress in front of Xiaoxiao.
"..." People sure do have different personalities. Her sisters-in-law at home were terribly shy, but Wang Xiangxiang didn’t hesitate; as soon as she said she’d undress, she did so.
Xiaoxiao swiftly handed over a set that looked about the right size.
"Xiaoxiao, how do I wear this, help me put it on!"
At that moment, Xiaoxiao felt like a sales associate, helping with the clothes, except that these garments were bras, and she even finished up by kindly adjusting Xiangxiang’s bust shape!
After helping Xiangxiang into the garments, Xiaoxiao felt like she suffered ten thousand points of damage. Aside from her own lack of bust, the other ladies were all amply endowed, and she felt a mix of envy and resentment.
"Xiaoxiao, it looks beautiful, really beautiful!"
"Selling these to the madams and concubines of wealthy families, as well as to the women of the brothels, okay?"
"That’s perfect, I’ll handle this! They will definitely want to buy the garments to wear for their men!"
"..." Wang Xiangxiang really knew her stuff; such a sharp person! Could this actually be someone from this era? She’s not shy at all!
