The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

After Fang Cheng and Tang Yuerao finished talking, Su Qianqian quickly raised her voice and said, "Shopkeeper, I'll buy this dress."

After saying that, he gave Tang Yuerao a provocative look.

That one glance successfully ignited Tang Yuerao's competitive spirit. How could a poor farm girl compete with her for a man?

Tang Yuerao blurted out, "I'll offer sixty taels."

The female shopkeeper was speechless with surprise. This garment had been hanging in the shop for a year, and no one had shown interest in it for thirty taels. Now someone was offering sixty taels, it was like the sun had risen in the west.

God, if this is a dream, please let me never wake up from it.

The female shopkeeper was trying to pack up the clothes quickly so the customers wouldn't regret it, but because she was so excited, her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't take the clothes down from the wall after two attempts.

At this moment, Su Qianqian called out an even higher price: "I'll offer two hundred and eighty taels."

Su Qianqian also took out the hundred taels of silver given by Madam Meng, the gold-inlaid jade bracelet given by Madam Meng, the silver notes from the county government, and the loose silver in her spatial storage.

Fang Cheng was surprised that Su Qianqian had so much money. If he had known earlier, he would not have sold her to human traffickers. After all, he only got eight taels of silver back then, which was a huge loss.

I thought Su Qianqian would never be able to return to Lotus Village in her life, and that she would only die outside, but it turned out that the one who died was a human trafficker.

Fang Cheng was a smart man and had already sensed that this might be a trap. He whispered, "Yuerao, this dress is not worth two hundred and eighty taels at all. Let's look at something else."

Su Qianqian knew that all she had to do now was to provoke the beautiful woman in front of her again, and she could earn money.

She raised her chin and looked at Tang Yuerao with disdain, saying, "You used to kick me out, saying I couldn't afford it. Turns out, you're the ones who can't afford it. If you're not going to buy it, get out of the shop. Remember, my surname is Su, and I'm someone you can't afford to mess with."

This was the first time Tang Yuerao had been told to get lost, and anger rose on her face.

I have never suffered such humiliation since I was a child!

She was unwilling to give up. How could she accept being asked to stop now?

She is the niece of Magistrate Tang. In Qinghe County, no one can take anything from her, and no one dares to tell her to get lost, especially since she is a poor peasant girl who is not worthy of her.

"Three hundred taels, I'll pay three hundred taels for this dress." You stinking country bumpkin, trying to snatch something from me? Don't you even know your own worth?

Su Qianqian achieved her goal perfectly. "Very good, I'll let you have this dress."

Tang Yuerao gestured to the maid beside her to pay the bill, but she felt something was off.

Three hundred taels of silver isn't much for the Tang family. They should be proud of having snatched the goods, so why do they feel like they've been tricked?

The female shopkeeper clutched her rapidly beating chest, feeling so excited she was about to pass away.

There were a few young girls watching the commotion in the shop, who could all testify that Miss Tang, who had asked for 300 taels, wouldn't go back on her word in public, right?

The female shopkeeper was only at ease after she saw the 300-tael silver note placed on the counter.

Good heavens! A dress that cost 30 taels of silver was sold for 300 taels! This Miss Su is truly amazing!

The female shopkeeper secretly wondered if a poor peasant girl could possibly have so much money, nor could she possibly have such courage and cunning. So, could this Miss Su have deliberately dressed so shabbily to conceal her identity?

Fang Cheng followed Tang Yuerao out of the clothing shop, feeling utterly miserable.

He had long had his eye on a fine Duan inkstone priced at two hundred taels of silver, and had hinted at it to Tang Yuerao several times.

Tang Yuerao brought a total of three hundred taels of silver with her this time, specifically to buy Duan inkstones for him. Unexpectedly, Su Qianqian ruined the deal, and she didn't manage to buy the inkstones.

Three hundred taels were used to buy clothes worth 30 taels; what a huge loss!

Fang Cheng clenched his fists, his teeth aching with anger, yet he still had to endure Tang Yuerao's disdainful looks.

"Brother Fang, why did you hide the fact that you had a fiancée? Why did that girl say she had a marriage certificate? I don't care, I don't care, you have to break off the engagement today, or I'll never speak to you again."

After saying that, she stormed off with her maid, leaving Fang Cheng alone on the street, his face contorted with rage.

Su Qianqian remained in the clothing shop and successfully received the eighty-one taels of silver promised by the shopkeeper.

"Miss Su, thank you so much."

"Shopkeeper, I'd like to buy a few sets of fine cotton clothes."

The female shopkeeper quickly put down her abacus to serve her benefactor, "Alright, Miss Su, please come with me, I'll help you choose."

Su Qianqian picked out two sets of fine cotton clothes for each member of her family. Since her father had to do rough work, she also picked out an extra set of dark gray coarse cloth clothes for him.

He also picked out a piece of fine cotton cloth, intending to take it home and make his own clothes.

If they buy all ready-made clothes, the Gu family will definitely feel the pinch.

These things will be stored in the space for now, and can be taken out and used once the division is successful.

"Shopkeeper, please settle the bill."

Ever since the shopkeeper sold the dress, his smile hadn't stopped. "Young lady, you don't need to pay. I'm not stingy. You've helped me earn so much extra money, so consider these cheap cotton clothes a gift from me."

The female shopkeeper felt her heart was still beating very fast and strongly.

Everything that happened today feels like a dream.

She just pinched her thigh several times; it really hurt, so she wasn't dreaming.

Today I've met a benefactor, and that benefactor is this young lady right in front of me.

The female shopkeeper's clothing shop only cost a few dozen taels of silver in total, and the only valuable item was that rainbow dress.

The shop was named with such a grand and imposing name as "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" because of its ambition.

The female shopkeeper's surname was Zuo. She lived in the prefecture and inherited her embroidery skills from her mother. She had suffered countless scornful looks since childhood, so she was determined to open the largest and best clothing store in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Unfortunately, his family was not well-off, so he borrowed money from relatives to start a business. Because he had little capital, he had to leave Pengcheng and come to this remote Qinghe County to open a clothing shop.

The shop had been open for over a year and was almost bankrupt. The creditors were driving her to the brink of suicide. But just when she thought she had reached the end of her rope, a new path opened up for her.

Now that I've suddenly received so much silver, after paying off my debts I'll still have over a hundred taels left, enough to open a branch in the prefectural capital. Who knows, maybe I can actually open a branch of Guose Tianxiang in the capital someday.

This Miss Su is truly her lucky star.

"Miss Su, my surname is Zuo. I would like to ask you to be the manager of my shop."

No one is more suitable to be a shopkeeper than this Miss Su, who can sell clothes worth thirty taels of silver for three hundred taels.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zuo, I have no ambition to be a manager."

Having achieved her goal of humiliating Fang Cheng, Su Qianqian happily hummed a song as she walked out of the shop.

"The sun shines brightly, and the flowers smile at me—"

She knew that Fang Cheng would definitely cause trouble again.

But Fang Cheng will only humiliate himself and gain nothing, haha.

Su Qianqian casually bought 10 skewers of candied hawthorn and took a bite of one.

These ancient candied hawthorns are so delicious! They have no artificial coloring or sugar, and the sweet and sour taste is simply irresistible.

"Young Master Mo, please come out."

Mo Xiaobei had no choice but to come out, not knowing how this Miss Su had discovered him.

Miss Su is really amazing; no wonder she was able to attract her master's attention.

"Miss Su, you are the most amazing person I have ever met. You bought clothes without paying and even made more than eighty taels of silver. I am completely impressed."

Mo Xiaobei's admiration for Su Qianqian is now like a surging river, endless and boundless.

So now he finally understood why the young master would fall in love with a malnourished little girl. It was simply because this little girl was too capable. She had both martial arts skills and intelligence. Just like the young master, she was skilled in both literature and martial arts.

The young master certainly has a good eye! He can tell at a glance that Miss Su is a pearl hidden in the dust and a beautiful jade buried in the sand.

Compared to Miss Su, those young ladies from noble families in the capital are really too boring.

Su Qianqian handed a skewer of candied hawthorns she had just bought to Mo Xiaobei, saying, "Here, have some."

Mo Xiaobei was so touched. It just so happened that candied hawthorn was his favorite food. This Miss Su was so thoughtful, she even knew that. She was truly resourceful.

So, why did Miss Su buy 10 skewers of candied hawthorn by herself? It turns out she prepared one for him as well.

"Young Master Mo, please enjoy your candied hawthorn and stop following me."

Su Qianqian was planning to buy a lot of things, including food. She knew she would have too much to carry and would have to store it all in her spatial storage. She didn't want Mo Xiaobei to discover the secret of her spatial storage.

Later, I'll be going to the black market to sell cattle—the cattle I stole from the Fang family. It wouldn't be good if Mo Xiaobei saw me doing that.

After selling the two cows, we still need to buy some salt at a low price on the black market.

The Great Qi Dynasty also had strict control over salt. Salt sold in regular shops in ancient times was extremely expensive, costing 100 coins for a small jar, while it could be bought on the black market for only 50 coins.

We need to buy some more seasonings.

We're about to separate, and there's still a lot to prepare.

"Miss Su, the young master has ordered his men to follow and protect you."

Su Qianqian didn't believe Gong Yu would let Mo Xiaobei protect her, "Then just tell him you got lost on the way."
