Chapter 965 - 967: Set the Date (1)
The house that the main house leased out for fifty taels of silver was rented back by Cai Wei for the price of sixty taels of silver, earning a clean profit of ten taels of silver. The tenant family was almost overjoyed to tears, with everyone, young and old, pitching in, and in just one hour, they had cleared out the house.
No sooner had the tenants left than Yao Ji’s Fine Woodworking sent people to deliver furniture. After having them place the furniture properly, Cai Wei agreed with them to return to this place in three days to haul a batch of excellent wood, and tasked them with making two more sets following the style of this furniture set!
In Space, there were century-old Golden Silk Nan wood, yellow pear, and Purple Sandalwood, among other top-quality woods. Fearing that Yao Ji’s craftsmanship was not refined enough to avoid ruining these premium materials, Cai Wei did not immediately take these high-grade woods for them to work on. Instead, she had them make a set of sour branch wood furniture first to test their skills. Only after their craftsmanship was deemed satisfactory, did she feel comfortable using the timber from Space.
Now, she decided to commission two sets of luxurious furniture as bridal gifts for herself and Fei’er.
Both she and Fei’er came from humble origins. She was better off, having the Spatial Artifact as backing; wherever she went, she would not be put at a disadvantage or humiliated. Fei’er, however, was different. Although the people of Duke Li Guo Mansion were very kind, Fei’er’s inherently low status, combined with her lack of skills in managing people, meant that without a few prestigious dowry items to bolster her reputation, she would inevitably be looked down upon by those servants who were fond of flaunting their higher status. Therefore, preparing a few dazzling dowry items was indeed essential!
After organizing many affairs at the old mansion, Cai Wei locked the door and went straight to the official Slave Shop.
In a while, she and Fei’er would be married off. As a future Royal Consort, having only Huan Qiu and Chun Liu to serve her was not enough; at the very least, she would need four capable maids. Fei’er also lacked attendants, so Cai Wei, taking advantage of her free time today, wanted to pick out several agreeable girls from the Slave Market to bring back.
