Chapter 153 Another Guest of the Qin Family

"By the way, Madam Ying, why did you come home by yourself? I had been waiting there the whole time. This morning, Madam Qiu and Huaiyue passed by the snack shop and asked me to go home with them. That's when I realized you were not at the market. When I returned to the village, I found that you had returned last night."

"Oh, I took the wrong road when looking for Huaiyue, and someone sent me back. Then I fell asleep." Liu Yingyue rubbed his forehead.

She narrowed her eyes. Was it Qiu Shuixian who sent Liu Huaiyue?

Was Liu Huaiyue at Qiu Shuixian's place last night?
After getting up and washing, Liu Yingyue went outside.

Liu Huaiyue, who was playing with a cat, trotted towards her, "Yingyue, you are so lazy. Why are you sleeping until now? It's almost time for lunch."

Because yesterday's incident involved Gao Yucheng, Liu Yingyue sent Hongzhu away and told her to bring breakfast.

Liu Yingyue supported her waist, walked to the chair under the eaves and sat down, looking at Liu Huaiyue with a sullen face, "You are still blaming me, I was looking for you until late at night yesterday, and I was so tired that my legs were about to break. Where did you go yesterday?"

Liu Huaiyue knew she couldn't hide it, so she had to talk about what happened yesterday.

"It's all that Gao Yucheng's fault! He actually tied me up! It's a good thing you didn't marry him." Liu Huaiyue rolled her eyes.

"Have you ever told anyone else about Gao Yucheng tying you up?" Liu Yingyue narrowed her eyes.

"I told Brother-in-law Qin."

"Your brother-in-law? When did you meet him?" Liu Yingyue opened her eyes wide.

"Ah, what happened..." Liu Huaiyue told the story from beginning to end, "It was dark then, and Brother-in-law Qin asked me to stay in Madam Qiu's shop. Early this morning, Madam Qiu sent me here. Sister, Madam Qiu is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted."

Liu Yingyue laughed in her heart. Qin Yiran didn't send Huaiyue to the dim sum shop to give it to Hongzhu, but actually sent it to Qiu Shuixian's shop.

It can be seen that in Qin Yiran's heart, Qiu Shuixian is the first person in his heart.

"Will you run around again next time?" Liu Yingyue looked at Liu Huaiyue with a sullen face.

Liu Huaiyue waved her hands hurriedly, "I dare not."

Hongzhu came over with breakfast in her hand, "Madam Ying, the eldest lady is not at the farm. There are two more guests at the farm today. The kitchen wants to know what kind of lunch we want to cook."

"Guests? Who else?" Liu Yingyue asked, and she glanced at Liu Huaiyue.

"It's Madam Qiu. She brought Huaiyue here and she hasn't left yet." Hongzhu said.

Liu Yingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Cook twelve dishes of the best food in the farm. Also prepare some sweet-scented osmanthus wine, which is what Madam Qiu likes."

Hongzhu nodded, "Okay, I'll go notify the kitchen."

After eating half a bowl of lotus seed porridge, Liu Yingyue felt sleepy again.

It was still early for lunch, so Liu Yingyue sent Liu Huaiyue to play by herself. She went into the bedroom and continued to take a nap.

Liu Huaiyue liked the Qin family's big manor and felt like a fish in water. She happily ran off to play with Qin Xiuzhu.

Hongzhu came back with the message and found that Liu Yingyue had fallen asleep and went to the laundry room to talk to her mother.

Without any noise, Liu Yingyue soon fell asleep again.

A side hall in the Qin family's front yard.

Qin Yiran and Qiu Shuixian sat opposite each other, discussing something.

On the table between the two of them, there were papers and pens, with some clothing drawings on the papers.

"How much silver does it cost to make a set of winter clothes of this style?" Qin Yiran asked, pointing at the drawing.

"It will cost about three hundred coins," said Qiu Shuixian.

"We need to prepare at least one thousand sets." Qin Yiran said.

"There's a shortage of cotton in the north lately. I'm afraid it might be difficult to get some." Colchicum shook her head.

"If we can't buy northern cotton, we can use our local kapok," Qin Yiran said. "But it's not warm. The cotton clothes made from them are fine to wear in the south, but I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the cold in the north where water freezes." Qiu Shuixian sighed.

"Add more kapok." Qin Yiran said.

"It's not impossible in this case, but the price will be higher, I'm afraid it will have to be increased to 350 coins." Qiu Shuixian frowned, "For just one set, this price is barely acceptable, but if there are more, I'm afraid it will be too much to bear."

Qin Yiran looked at the blueprint and said, "Let's make this arrangement for this year first, and prepare in advance next year, and prepare 50,000 sets of cotton clothes."

"Okay." Qiu Shuixian nodded.

Qin Yiran put away the drawings and when he looked up, he saw Hongzhu walking past the door.

He stood up and walked over, "Hongzhu, is Lady Ying awake?"

Hongzhu turned around and said, "Big Sir, Lady Ying just woke up and ate something. Now she said she was sleepy and took a rest again."

Qin Yiran waved his hand, "Go and do your own thing, don't bother her."

"I understand, Mr. Dalang." Hongzhu nodded and left.

Qiu Shuixian came over and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, I have nothing to do here, go see your wife."

Qin Yiran said calmly, "She's resting, no need to go see her."

"You're yelling you're sleepy in the middle of the day, don't be sick, go back and see a doctor." Qiu Shuixian smiled and pushed Qin Yiran, "You're already married, but you're still so wooden, be careful your wife might get mad."

Qin Yiran frowned, "By the way, is there any progress in making the armor?"

Qiu Shuixian said, "There are not enough blacksmiths, and we can't ask strangers to do this, we have to find reliable people, so the progress has been very slow."

"Hurry up here, I'll find a way to deal with the manpower issue."

"Don't worry, Brother Qin." Qiu Shuixian said. She also noticed that Qin Yiran's eyes were looking elsewhere, not at her.

She curled her lips and patted Qin Yiran's shoulder. "Speaking of rest, I'm tired here too. It's getting late, so I'll go home first. Brother Qin."

Qin Yiran turned around and said, "Lunch has been arranged. Let's eat before leaving?"

"No, I have a lot of things to do in my shop. Besides, you have to hurry up and do your thing." Qiu Shuixian waved at Qin Yiran, smiled, turned and left.

Qin Yiran said, "I'll see you off."

"No, no, I'm familiar with the road. You should go see your wife." Qiu Shuixian smiled and waved his hand.

But Qin Yiran still insisted on sending Qiu Shuixian to the gate of the manor, watched her get on the carriage and leave, and then turned back to the manor.

There were a few permanent and temporary workers sitting at the gate of the village, taking a break, and they were all talking about Colchicum in low voices.

"The lady who just left was so beautiful, who was she?"

"I heard that he is an old friend of our eldest son, and he runs a shop making clothes on Market Street."

"Everyone says that Lady Ying is the most beautiful lady in the area. I didn't expect that there is another lady who is just as beautiful as Lady Ying."

"Our eldest son is very lucky. He has a beautiful wife at home and a beautiful wife outside."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, be careful that Lady Ying hears you."

Changfu, who was guarding the gate, heard a few rough men talking about Qin Yiran and Liu Yingyue, and walked over and shouted at them coldly.

A few people looked at each other, and then they shut up.
-
After seeing off Qiu Shuixian, Qin Yiran immediately returned to the courtyard where he and Liu Yingyue lived.

There was no noise in the yard, only the chirping of birds on the branches.

His brows were grim as he pushed the door open and walked into the bedroom.
