58 No Way?

Apart from the cloth, Zhao Lanhua also bought two sets of ready-made clothes for Ji Zhao.

The material was all high-quality satin, soft and comfortable.

“I don’t think Chenchen has any clothes.” Before she left, Zhao Lanhua thought of the poor Ji Chen and bought him a bolt of royal blue fabric without hesitation.

It cost a total of seven taels and nineteen copper coins.

“Mother, thank you!” Seeing Zhao Lanhua generously foot the bill, Ji Zhao swore in her heart that she would earn more money to be filial to her mother-in-law in the future!

After 5pm, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair returned to Shanghe Village.

In the Shen family’s courtyard, Shen Yao, who was teaching Ji Chen how to write in the courtyard, heard the crisp laughter coming from the outer gate of the courtyard. He could not help but smile.

“Sister?” Ji Chen also heard the laughter and hurriedly looked up.

“Chenchen?” Ji Zhao, who stepped through the door, happened to meet her brother’s anxious gaze. She smiled and raised the candied hawthorn in her hand. “Look, what did Sister bring you?”

“Candied hawthorn?” Ji Chen’s eyes lit up. He immediately opened his arms and rushed into Ji Zhao’s arms!

“Chenchen, were you very obedient at home today?” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and rubbed the tip of the cute little child’s nose affectionately. Then, she handed the candied hawthorn in her hand to him. “Here, Sister’s reward for Chenchen!”

Ji Chen grinned, revealing his two canine teeth. It was so cute that it could melt people’s hearts!

When Shen Yao saw how intimate the siblings were, a strange emotion actually rose in his heart. He raised his hand and wiped his nose. “It would be even better if he didn’t write the words I taught him incorrectly yesterday.”

“Chenchen has just learned how to read. It’s reasonable that he makes mistakes.” Ji Zhao smiled indifferently. “He will definitely write better and better in the future, right, Chenchen?”

“Mm…” Ji Chen, who was eating candied hawthorn, nodded obediently.

At this moment, Shen Yao felt even more depressed.

“Ah, I almost forgot. I also brought you a gift!” Ji Zhao suddenly snapped her fingers and quickly untied the bamboo basket on his body. She carefully took out a brush.

“When Mother and I went to the evening market, we happened to see someone selling brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. I saw this brush at a glance. Do you like it?”

A stick of candied hawthorn was only three copper coins, but that pen cost Ji Zhao thirty copper coins!

She hoped that Shen Yao would like this gift.

Shen Yao took the brush and looked at it carefully. The body of the brush was made of high-grade mahogany. The red plum patterns carved on it were smooth and lifelike. More importantly, the raw material used to make the brush was high-grade.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Ji Zhao looked at his increasingly serious expression and suddenly felt uneasy. “If you don’t like it, I…”

“How much did you pay for this brush?”

“Thirty coins…”

Ji Zhao carefully observed his expression. “Don’t you like it at all?”

“No.” Shen Yao smiled gently at her. “I like it very much, and your luck is really good.”

“Huh?” Ji Zhao’s eyes were blank.

“This red plum-patterned brush is the best of the best. It’s worth thousands of gold.”

“No way??” Ji Zhao’s mouth widened in shock.

The reason why she took a fancy to this brush at first glance was purely because this brush was the cheapest among those items, and the price was also something she could afford now.

“So, you’re really lucky.” Shen Yao carefully put away the brush and smiled gratefully. “Thank you for this gift. I like it very much.”
