Chapter 192 Wonderful Thoughts
After Luo Lingyue rushed back to the general's mansion, she immediately threw herself into the work. She was extremely anxious because the task ahead was extremely difficult - to find out the details of her second brother's property in the capital.
Luo Lingyue was sitting in the middle of the study, with thick account books and documents piled on the desk. She was concentrating on flipping through each page of the account, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. She looked like a kitten who had just eaten a delicious fish, so cute.
As time went by, Luo Lingyue's smile became brighter and brighter. This trip to Jiangnan made her rich overnight! It was originally just a simple trip, but she didn't expect to gain so much. This was really beyond her expectations.
On the other hand, the Fuyuan Bank token that Luo Lingliu had been robbed by the robbers had now fallen into Luo Lingyue's hands. This was undoubtedly another unexpected fortune, which made Luo Lingyue's wealth even greater.
At this time, An Qingyi came to Luo Lingyue to discuss the wedding banquet that Luo Lingliu was going to hold in the capital.
Without saying anything, Luo Lingyue took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed them to An Qingyi. The amount on the banknotes was staggering: "Mother! There is enough silver here to plan for my second brother's wedding!"
Seeing this, An Qingyi couldn't help but smile, gently stroked Luo Lingyue's hair and said, "Silly child, the expenses of Second Brother's wedding should naturally be paid from the public account of the General's Mansion. How can you use your own private money?"
Luo Lingyue leaned in An Qingyi's arms affectionately and said coquettishly: "Mother! Second brother has entrusted all his businesses to me to manage, so of course the expenses of his wedding this time must be borne by me!"
An Qingyi nodded lovingly to show her understanding, but still insisted that the General's Mansion had no shortage of funds to hold a wedding banquet.
However, Luo Lingyue winked mischievously and said with a smile: "Mother, if that's the case, then let me take care of the preparations for my second brother's wedding! When the time comes, I will collect the gifts from the wedding banquet on my behalf! Anyway, the two of them still have to run around inspecting various businesses, so don't let them worry about such trivial matters!"
Hearing this, An Qingyi was stunned, looking at Luo Lingyue in surprise, thinking: How could I not have noticed that Xiao Qi was so greedy before? But this is also good, it means that the child has grown up and knows how to share the affairs of the family. Thinking of this, An Qingyi showed a relieved smile on her face.
During Luo Lingliu's wedding banquet, Luo Lingyue was busy running around, shuttling among the crowd like a hardworking little bee. She personally directed the servants to decorate the venue, place the tables and chairs, and ensure that every detail was perfect.
During the entire wedding banquet, Luo Lingyue maintained a high level of concentration and enthusiasm. She not only had to take care of the guests' feelings, but also had to keep an eye on the various situations at the wedding scene so as to respond to emergencies in a timely manner. Although she was extremely busy, Luo Lingyue enjoyed it because she knew that this wedding banquet was of great significance to the Luo family.
After some efforts, the wedding banquet was finally successfully concluded. Luo Lingyue also made a lot of money, which made her feel extremely satisfied. However, she did not stop, but immediately began to prepare for another important thing - to find the most famous clothing shop in the capital to make special clothes.
Luo Lingyue came to the clothing store with her carefully drawn clothing design. She handed the design to the tailor and said solemnly: "You must make the clothes according to my design, and put goose feathers in it!"
The tailor took the drawing, looked at it carefully for a while, and then nodded, indicating that he understood Luo Lingyue's request. Although he was a little confused, he decided to do it according to the customer's request. After all, this customer was a famous rich lady in Beijing, and he couldn't afford to offend her!
After Luo Lingyue left, the tailor turned around and couldn't wait to find Xueying with the design drawing: "Master! Please take a look at this! Luo Lingyue asked the clothing shop to make her a cotton-padded jacket like this. I have been in this industry for so many years, and I have never heard of a cotton-padded jacket that is not filled with cotton but with goose feathers!"
Xueying took the design and examined it carefully. He frowned and said puzzledly, "Hmm... the style of this dress is indeed a bit weird! Do you know what she wants this dress for?"
The tailor scratched his head, also confused: "From my perspective, this clothes looks like those worn by people who do rough work. Could it be that Luo Lingyue is going to wear it to work in the fields?" He muttered to himself.
Xueying pondered for a moment, secretly wondering: What is the deep meaning of Luo Lingyue's action? Is there any secret hidden in this cotton coat? No, I have to find out.
Thinking of this, he said to the tailor, "Just do as she says, but don't let anyone know. When you're done, bring it to me."
The tailor took the order and left, but he began to wonder in his heart: "What on earth is Luo Lingyue doing? Can this cotton-padded jacket keep me warm?" Although he was full of doubts, he still started to make this special cotton-padded jacket according to Xueying's instructions.
At this moment, in a dimly lit room, a tailor was concentrating on his work. With his skillful hands and quick movements, he completed a beautiful garment in a blink of an eye.
The tailor proudly brought the finished garment to Xueying and said, "Master, please have a look. During the sewing process, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this garment has extraordinary warmth retention properties, which is much better than a cotton-padded jacket!"
Xueying took the clothes, examined them carefully, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a mysterious and confident smile: "Haha, this sect master now finally understands what Luo Lingyue is planning! You send this dress to her immediately!"
Night fell quietly, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness. However, Blood Shadow flew into Zuiyue Tower as lightly as a ghost. There, Luo Lingyue had already prepared a sumptuous meal and wine for his arrival.
Without saying anything, Xueying picked up a chicken leg from the plate and started chewing it fiercely, muttering, "Did you know I was coming? You even prepared the chicken leg."
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly and said softly: "I specially invited your tailor to make these clothes. It is natural for you to be curious! Do you have any questions for me?"
Xueying was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "How did you know that the tailor was my man?"
Luo Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, sketching a faint smile, and replied: "Du Zhong once tried to intercept me in that clothing store! At that time, I guessed that it must be a hidden stake of the Soul-Sucking Sect!"
Xueying threw away the chicken bone in his hand, then filled a glass of wine for himself, raised his head and drank it all, then slowly said: "I didn't expect you to be so smart and guess the details of that place in one go. But by the way, what on earth do you use these clothes for?"
Luo Lingyue did not hide anything and told the truth: "These clothes are specially prepared for the soldiers of Beiyuan. They have a special name called 'down jackets'. This kind of clothes has strong cold resistance! I plan to let my uncle present them to His Majesty. If His Majesty thinks it is feasible, we can produce this kind of clothes on a large scale!"
Xueying's face was full of admiration, and he exclaimed: "Your idea is really unique! I really don't know how many wonderful ideas you have hidden in your mind!"
