Third Watch, seeking pink.

After visiting several cloth shops, Lian Manman and Lady Zhang picked out five bolts of natural color coarse cloth and five bolts of natural color fine cloth, as well as four bolts of blue cloth and two bolts of bright red cloth, and four bolts of various patterned cloths, all of high quality. In total, buying this much was nearly one string of coins cheaper than purchasing in Qingyang Town.
Along the way to Dongcheng, while browsing, Lady Zhang and Lian Manman planned which of the bought fabrics would be used for making clothes, cushions, curtains, and so on.
The Old Wang's Large Cart Inn was easy to find. They asked for directions only once, and by midday, the group had arrived.
Lu Bingwu was waiting for them in the main hall of the cart inn. It turned out that the workers delivering the wheat seeds and cotton wadding had already arrived.
