Chapter 2608: Old Acquaintance “Third Young Miss Ruan, everything should be based on a first come first serve basis. Besides, I also have the means and ability to buy this piece of fabric. Why don’t you choose another one? This clothing store is so big, there must be a lot of good fabrics. Isn’t that so, shopkeeper?” She asked, and looked at the shopkeeper. “Yes yes yes, there are still some good pieces of fabric. Third Young Miss Ruan, why don’t I show you?” The shopkeeper asked cautiously. “I only want the ice silk satin.” The lady dressed in white insisted, and stared at the piece of material. Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper felt awkward: “This… there is only one piece, there is none left in the whole city. Even if the goods are transferred from somewhere else, it will take at least half a month before it arrives.” The beautiful woman settled the bill silently, she paid the money and explained the styles of the clothes that were to be made with those pieces of fabrics. The lady dressed in white flung her sleeves up angrily when she saw this. When she saw the lady dressed in white leave with her guards, the beautiful woman smiled and asked: “Shopkeeper, is Third Young Miss Ruan’s mother the Mistress of the Ruan Family, Fang Yu Rong?” 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖 “Yes, that is Third Young Miss Ruan’s mother. I heard that it’s her birthday in a few days. Third Young Miss Ruan has been here several times already. Usually ordinary folk can’t afford the ice silk satin, and I didn’t expect Madam to take a fancy to it.” The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled helplessly. Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman smiled and said: “Shopkeeper, you mentioned that there are a few pieces of good fabric earlier? Take them out and let me see it!” “Yes, yes.” The shopkeeper hurriedly took out a few pieces of material from inside and put them in front of her: “Madam, please take a look. These pieces are all top quality materials. They are extremely comfortable to be worn on the body, and there is only one colour of each piece of material, so even if you wear it, no one else will have the same.” The beautiful woman’s hand touched the pieces of fabrics and finally, she picked out a dark golden and said to the shopkeeper: “Pack this piece of material along with the ice silk satin in a beautiful box then send them to the Ruan Family to the Mistress of the Ruan Family, Fang Yu Rong!” Xie Shi Si shouted when she heard this: “Mother, why are you giving such a good piece of material to the Mistress of the Ruan Family? We don’t know her.” Xie Yutang was also a little puzzled. His mother was not the kind of person to make connections with other people. Although these were only two pieces of cloth, her behaviour was still puzzling. Feng Jiu stood still with her eyes lowered. She wasn’t surprised by the beautiful woman’s arrangement. At this time, the shopkeeper asked with some doubts: “Madam, you want to send this to the Ruan Family’s Mistress?” “That’s right.” The beautiful woman smiled: “She is an old acquaintance of mine and I haven’t seen her for many years. I didn’t expect to meet her daughter here. Since it’s her birthday in a few days, then I’ll have to bother shopkeeper to send the gift to her!” Xie Shi Si was a little dumbfounded, her mother was an old acquaintance of the Ruan Family’s Mistress?” After she had left instructions, they took some of the ready-made clothes back first. The group got into the carriage, they went to a few other places before they returned to the Xie Mansion. When they arrived at the Mansion, Feng Jiu took her new clothes and went to have a bath first. After she put on her new clothes, she looked much more presentable than she did before. In the evening, the clothing store delivered some clothes that were ready to wear, so the servants put them on. After the beautiful woman told them the rules of the household, the originally quiet and deserted manor gradually became more lively.
