Chapter 533: 533 Fourth brother is the best
During the time she was considered useless in the Xiao Family, only he secretly gave her private money, even knowing that she wanted to leave and not stopping her.
He never got angry at her, and now she has money.
She had a fortune of nearly four hundred taels of silver with her.
For many households in this era, nearly four hundred taels of silver was an amount they could not earn in their lifetime.
Only he never wanted to take the money she earned for himself but wanted her to live better.
After she left, he was crying alone, miserably and pitifully.
She had just deliberately walked away, but she was actually watching him, seeing his heartbroken expression, and his desolate appearance…
Originally, she wanted to tease him, but her heart softened, so she pretended not to know anything and didn’t expose his embarrassment, pretending to return after buying steamed buns.
That’s why, even though her second and third brother treated her well too,
She believed that her fourth brother was better.
“Qingyue…” His handsome, pale face showed a suspicious red. “You want to buy me… don’t need money.”
“Is there such a good thing?” She tapped her chin lightly with her index finger.
“Mm.” He nodded shyly.
Looking at her playful appearance, he liked her very much despite her not being pretty.
He really wanted to tell her that he was her husband…
Gathering up his courage to speak, Su Qingyue took the initiative and said, “Let’s go, let’s go, if it gets late, you won’t be sold…”
“…” He knew that she was not really willing to sell him.
Su Qingyue had previously heard that there was only one shop in town that sold carriages.
That shop was in the market, so she took Xiao Qinghe there.
It was a store located in a corner at the end of the market street, with several carriages on display in the shop, and six horses tied under a large tree outside the shop.
The noisy market did not draw many customers due to the remote location of the store, and the lack of people buying carriages. The carriage shop owner moved a desk to the entrance of the shop, sitting on it, bored and yawning.
Su Qingyue stood at the entrance of the carriage store.
It was only then that Xiao Qinghe asked doubtfully, “Qingyue, do you want to buy a carriage?”
“Yes,” she said, “Our family will have to do business in town later, and it is not only troublesome to always ride a cow’s car, but it is also inconvenient to carry goods. It would be better to buy our own.”
“That’s a good idea,” he agreed. He never dared to imagine that their family could afford a carriage in his life. His wife was truly capable.
Su Qingyue asked, “Fourth brother, a carriage is a valuable item. Do you think we should consult our second and third brothers before buying it?”
“No need,” he replied with a smile, “They won’t object to anything you want to buy.”
“Mm,” she nodded, “Actually, it’s useless even if they object.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, the shop owner knew that sincere customers had arrived and immediately woke up from his doze, jumping up from the chair, and greeted warmly, “Girl, do you want to buy a carriage?”
“Yes,” Su Qingyue replied, “How much are you selling them for?”
“For horses, one is between fifteen to twenty taels. The worst carriage is five taels, five taels of silver for a flatbed cart without a carriage body. The cheapest with a carriage body is ten taels, thirty taels… one hundred, 300 taels, and so on. If you buy a horse with a carriage body, I will give you a horse saddle and put the carriage together for you.” The shop owner politely introduced while pointing at various styles of carriages, “The luxurious carriages that cost 300 taels are not in stock, but if you like, they can be custom-made.”
“What about the horses?” Su Qingyue asked, “Which ones are fifteen taels, and which ones are twenty taels?”
