The clerk replied, "It's because the magistrate has set a large order. The coffin shops need to make extra efforts to gather wood boards, and considering you're a member of the imperial family, there's more attention to details, hence the higher cost."
Zhao Hanzhang waved her hand and said, "Just a regular coffin, no need for anything fancy."
She frowned, "Is it difficult to gather wood boards?"
The clerk nodded, "There have been too many people ordering coffins these past two days. Originally, there were twelve coffin shops in Luoyang City, but now only four remain. Their previous stock of coffins was insufficient, and now many are waiting for them to make coffins."
Just as Zhao Hanzhang was about to speak, Zhao Erlang burst in with a proud and boisterous expression, "Sister, I have coffins, I have coffins."
