Qiao's eyebrows twitched, thinking: How can I judge this? Her purpose in coming here was to get information.

A detailed comparison was made with several pieces of brocade clothes available in the workshop.

The brocade robe is woven with gold threads thinner than a hair and silk. It is thin, soft, glittering with gold and extremely gorgeous.

Especially the gilded clothes made by Xieyunfang, both the weaving technique and the embroidery are excellent.

Each piece costs more than three thousand taels of silver.

In the entire Jinzhou City, except for Xieyunfang, no other family has the ability or financial resources to make golden embroidered clothes.

There are only a few people in the entire Jinzhou City who can afford to wear the golden brocade dress.

Therefore, Xieyunfang only prepared four items.

Two women's dresses and two men's dresses.

These golden embroidered clothes were originally prepared to be used as gifts by some wealthy family when they went to the capital in the early spring of next year.

I didn't expect that the Qin family would be the first to arrive today.

Moreover, I bought two at a time!

Aunt Qi warmly took Mrs. Qiao's hand and went back to the second floor.

After Master Ming took out the four golden embroidered garments, Madam Qi said directly, "I want the two most expensive ones."

Master Ming subconsciously glanced at Qiao and carefully placed two of the gold-threaded clothes on the table. "These two pieces are the best in terms of gold thread pattern craftsmanship and workmanship. They also use more gold thread than the two pieces next to them."

Aunt Qi turned to ask Mrs. Qiao, "Madam, what do you think?"

Mrs. Qiao forced a smile and said, "Well, I am not very knowledgeable, how can I know the difference between gold and jade? I just think these pieces are all good."

Aunt Qi curled her lips and said, "Please, Master, pack up these two most expensive items."

Master Ming smiled and said, "These two pieces cost one thousand taels more than the other two. In fact, the other two pieces are similar, but the patterns are slightly different."

Madam Qi said proudly, "Does our Qin family's eldest master need this 1,000 taels of silver? The eldest daughter is very filial and wants the best things for the eldest master and the eldest mistress. Our mistress took pity on her niece who lost her parents at such a young age and met all her requests."

Master Ming quickly flattered, "Mrs. Qin Er is really a kind person."

Aunt Qi sighed, "Yes. Although she is my aunt, she is still an outsider. I have worked so hard to arrange the funeral, and yet there are still some people who find fault with me and always try to find faults with the Second Madam."

Madam Qi kept touching the golden embroidered dress while chattering, "In the final analysis, isn't it because the eldest lady said that if the second wife does anything inconsiderate, she will have to give the family the same amount of silver as she spent on the things? This golden embroidered dress is a valuable item, and who knows how many eyes are staring at it."

Mrs. Qiao looked embarrassed and said in a sarcastic tone, "Isn't it because my niece is worried about losing Jingyuan and my sister-in-law? Some people are reluctant to spend this huge fortune. If something goes wrong, it will be laughed at by outsiders. Everyone should keep an eye on it so that no mistakes are made."

Madam Qi immediately asked, "What do you think of these two golden brocade clothes, Madam?"

Qiao said: "Since Master Ming said it is the best, then it is naturally the best."

The two of them were talking happily back and forth, but they didn't notice the increasingly bright eyes of Ming Fangzhu next to them.

Here, under the "supervision" of Mrs. Qiao, Madam Qi ordered the best brocade dress from Xieyunfang.

At the same time, over at the Wen family shop, Qi Wu, under the "suggestion" of the eldest uncle of the third grandfather's family, selected various jade articles of superior quality and extremely beautiful prices.

The embroidered blouse and jade ornaments were finalized, and there was also news about the person who would buy the coffin.

Mr. Cai, the owner of the coffin shop in the west of the city, went directly to Dongfu.

Qin Jingchang and the clan leader met him together.

Boss Cai said, "Your family asked about the coffins before, and they wanted the best fir wood. Because the incident happened suddenly, we don't have anything suitable in our shop. We did receive an order from a nobleman in the capital before, and they ordered two coffins made of the best nanmu wood. However, something happened to that nobleman's family a few years ago, and he couldn't afford so much money, so the two coffins were left in our shop."

When he heard it was nanmu, Qin Jingchang's face changed.

A coffin made of top-quality fir wood usually costs only one or two thousand taels.

It is really difficult to find a suitable one, and the best one the store has in stock is only a few hundred taels.

Now a top-quality nanmu coffin has arrived?

I'm afraid one bite would cost four or five thousand taels!

The clan leader's eyes lit up, and he said, "According to the regulations, ordinary people like us are not qualified to use this nanmu."

Boss Cai said carefully, "Old sir, you don't know. These two coffins are not the forbidden golden nanmu, but the fragrant nanmu. Although this kind of nanmu is not as precious as the golden nanmu, it also has its own fragrance, cannot be soaked by water, cannot be burrowed by ants, and is resistant to soil erosion. I heard that the eldest daughter of the mansion is very filial and only chose the best for her parents, so I dared to ask."

Qin Jingchang didn't say anything, so the clan leader had to ask, "I just don't know, how much is it worth?"

Boss Cai's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was a way. "The original price is seven thousand taels per coffin. The wood used for this coffin was carefully selected by that nobleman. I am also grateful for the filial piety of the eldest daughter of the mansion, and the shopkeeper Qin has always been a kind-hearted man. I don't want so much, give me the cost price, five thousand taels per coffin."

Five thousand taels?!

Two coffins cost ten thousand taels!

The embroidered clothes and jade articles ordered today, plus the coffin, cost nearly ten thousand taels more than originally planned!

Qin Jingchang's heart was bleeding.

But everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

If he doesn't want it, it means he feels bad about spending money on his elder brother.

What he felt sorry for was the money his elder brother earned himself.

If he kept it, this ten thousand taels...

Qin Jingchang didn't say anything, and the clan leader didn't say anything either.

The room was silent for a long time before the clan leader slowly asked, "Do you have any other coffins in your store?"

Boss Cai was a little disappointed and quickly replied, "There are inferior ones too..."

"Let's keep these two Nanmu Pavilions." Qin Jingchang quickly interrupted, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for sending them to your house later."

Qin Jingchang didn't dare to be careless at all.

These things cost several thousand taels at most.

Don't underestimate the clan leader's nice words. If he asked for another coffin, the clan leader would turn around and make things difficult for him, and he would have to pay several thousand taels more.

In the current East Mansion, all the cash should be in Qin Shu's hands.

According to reliable sources, the business Qin Jingyuan did before the accident made a net profit of hundreds of thousands of taels.

In comparison, what are these mere tens of thousands of taels?

The harder it is for him to do his job now and the more foreign debts he owes, the more difficult it will be for the clan to ask him for money in the future.

Boss Cai was overjoyed, but he couldn't smile at someone else's funeral.

He had no choice but to keep a straight face, bow deeply, and said with emotion: "The deep brotherly love between the Second Master Qin and the First Master is truly moving. I will send someone to bring the coffin over later."

Qin Jingchang nodded with a stern face.

His complexion was not good-looking, and it was a little blue.

But his brother just passed away, so it is understandable that his face looks ugly.
