Chapter 181:
Crazy Shopping Spree
Mourong Lingran nodded and asked seriously, "What's your name, big brother?"
"I'm Zhao Liu."
Mourong Lingran handed him a one-tael silver and said, "Brother Zhao, I still have some things to buy. They will all be delivered here later. When my brother and I return, we'll go home together, and then we'll pay the remaining silver together."
Zhao Liu accepted the silver with a smile, "Sure, Miss, I'll wait for you to come before leaving."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
The siblings left the Yahang Department and immediately began a crazy shopping spree.
Although some rooms were still empty, they all belonged to someone.
To ensure their owners could move in at any time, a simple arrangement was unavoidable.
Moreover, their rooms were missing quite a few things.
With numerous items needed at home and the recent purchase of four carriages, it was the perfect opportunity to transport everything back.
Closing the carriage doors, no one in Lihua Village would see what she had bought. They only knew she bought four carriages, and when she said they were for selling vegetables, it would be enough to deceive them.
The bedding used in the bamboo house was obviously unsuitable for the new house. After all, it was old bedding that had been sold to them.

As they had been busy buying land and preparing for the housewarming recently, they had only briefly arranged the room where they slept. Many things had yet to be purchased, and now that they had moved into the new house, it wouldn't be fair to compromise their comfort.
Including the six siblings' rooms, plus their parents' room and a guest room, there were a total of nine rooms. Mourong Lingran planned to provide each room with four cotton pillows, one mattress, and three different thicknesses of quilts.
Their father and the four siblings' rooms had already bought two pillows each. So, they needed an additional twenty-eight pillows.
Seeing various ready-made beddings such as curtains, duvet covers, and bed sheets, Mourong Lingran gestured generously and bought twenty sets at once.
Checking other stores in the street, whenever they saw things they thought would be useful, like tea sets, copper basins, face towels, and even combs, they bought at least nine of each. Then, they instructed the staff to send them all to Yahang Department.
As for food, their older brother had bought quite a bit for the housewarming, but Mourong Lingran still bought two hundred catties of rice and two hundred catties of flour as a precaution.
The current house wasn't as narrow and susceptible to dampness as the bamboo house. It was spacious, and their surplus money made it possible to buy more.
Passing by a pharmacy, Mourong Lingran bought a lot of spices such as peppercorns, pepper, cinnamon, and star anise.
Since the meat buns she bought last time were delicious, she bought thirty more buns when she passed by the bun stall. These could be used for lunch.
Zhao Liu initially thought they would only buy a few things, but unexpectedly, they filled two and a half carriage compartments with cotton. He was so tired that he felt he had sweated for several days.
Just as he rested, more things were delivered. Helpless, he sighed and started moving them again.
After repeating this for half an hour, his entire body was soaked in sweat.
There was no choice. He had taken their money, and they brought so many things. It was impossible that they were just fooling around.
Left in the Yahang Department, it would affect other customers. So, he reluctantly sighed and helped them load everything onto the carriages.
After the space in all four carriages was filled, when Zhao Liu was almost exhausted, Mourong Lingran and her brother finally returned.
