Chapter 157: Complaint, but got slapped in the face

Qin Yiran raised his eyebrows lightly, "Why is Miss Yongcui interested in Gao Yucheng again? He is a married man."

The woman who came with Yang Yongcui looked at her in surprise, "Yongcui?"

Yang Yongcui's face turned red with embarrassment.

She bit her lip and said, "I'm not interested in him. I just...care about Yingyue."

"Yingyue has me here, so there's no need for Miss Yongcui to worry about her." Qin Yiran raised his eyebrows slightly, turned and walked towards Qiu Shuixian's shop.

At this time, a group of carriages and horses came on the street.

"Get out of the way!" The leading man shouted to drive the crowd away. When the man looked around, he recognized Qin Yiran and shouted, "Mr. Qin!"

Qin Yiran turned around, glanced at the nameplate on the carriage, nodded and said, "So you are the manager of the Qian family. What does Mr. Qian do for a living that he arranged several carriages for me to transport goods?"

"It's a small business, but it's all thanks to your lady Ying." The Qian family's steward ordered the carriage team to stop, got off the car and walked towards Qin Yiran.

Qin Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly, "My wife?"

"Yes, Madam Ying ordered a thousand sets of cotton clothing materials from our master. Now that the goods are ready, they will be sent to your farm." The Qian family's steward said with a smile, "Please check the goods. If you are satisfied, you can take care of our business next time. Our master said that if the quantity is large, the price can be negotiated."

Qin Yiran was even more surprised.

He was discussing with Qiu Shuixian how to collect a thousand sets of cotton clothes, but Liu Yingyue had already arranged everything?
"No problem." Qin Yiran nodded.

He waved to the clerk at the door of Qiu Shuixian's shop, indicating that he should call Qiu Shuixian over.

The clerk took a look at the horse-drawn carriage piled with goods and ran into the shop.

Soon, the colchicum arrived.

She was also surprised when she saw the carriage team, "Brother Qin, have you ordered all the goods?"

"It wasn't arranged by me, it was Yingyue. Come and take a look at the quality of the goods." Qin Yiran said.

Qiu Shuixian opened her eyes wide, "Was it arranged by Yingyue? How...how did she know..."

She glanced around, pursed her lips, and nodded without saying anything else, "Okay, I'll take a look at the fabric."

Qiu Shuixian and his men checked each car one by one.

On the other side, Qin Yiran talked about this batch of goods with the Qian family's manager.

"When did my wife order the fabric?" Qin Yiran asked.

"Oh, it was that day. It was our wife's nephew, Mr. Gao, who introduced Ms. Ying to the Qian family." The steward talked about what happened that day.

Qin Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly. Was Liu Yingyue going to Qian's house that day to order fabric for cotton clothes?
"Yongcui, you said that Madam Ying met Young Master Gao, but they were discussing business. Look, they bought so many cotton clothes. Madam Ying is the good wife of Young Master Qin." The woman who followed Yang Yongcui glanced ahead and said deliberately.

Yang Yongcui was slapped in the face today and was feeling bad.

She glared at her companion coldly, then turned and left, "Do you still want me to help you find a job?"

"Want to want."

"Then why don't you leave quickly?"
-
After Liu Yingyue collected the debt from Gao Yucheng, she went straight home.

The gatekeeper said that Qin Yiran went to the market and did not come back.

Liu Yingyue said nothing and returned to the backyard.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Liu Yingyue came to Madam Qin's place. Madam Qin was talking to Aunt Qian about making winter clothes. When she saw her coming, she smiled and asked, "Yingyue, come and take a look at the fabric. This is what I chose for you and Dalang. See if you like it."

Speaking of winter clothes, Liu Yingyue thought of the goods she ordered from the Qian family. Calculating the time, it seemed like it was time for the goods to be delivered.

She nodded and said with a smile, "I like it. Mom has a good eye and she picked out everything I like."

"I'm glad you like it. I'll ask someone to send it to the market street for the embroiderer to do later." Madam Qin said with a smile.

"Speaking of the embroiderers on the street, Madam Qiu has the best craftsmanship. The size of the clothes she makes has never been a problem." Aunt Qian said with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Madam Qin nodded in agreement.

Liu Yingyue just smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

She was worried about the thousands of cotton clothes in Qianjiazhuang.

"Hongzhu." Liu Yingyue waved to Hongzhu and whispered, "Go to Qian's Manor right away and ask Mr. Qian if the 1,000 sets of cotton clothes I want are ready. I need them within the next two days."

"I understand, Madam Ying." Hongzhu nodded.

However, just as Hongzhu turned around to leave, Qin Yiran walked into the main room.

Because she was walking in a hurry, she almost bumped into Qin Yiran, and she was so scared that she quickly dodged, "The eldest son is back?"

Qin Yiran nodded, "Yes." He walked towards Liu Yingyue, "I just met the Qian family's steward on the market street. He drove ten carriages and brought a thousand sets of cotton clothes for me to check."

Hongzhu and Liu Yingyue looked at each other and decided not to leave. They stood where they were and listened to the news.

Liu Yingyue said to Hongzhu, "Go and have a rest first. I'll call you if anything happens."

Hongzhu smiled and stepped back slightly, "Okay."

Qin Yiran sat down next to Liu Yingyue, "Yingyue, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Madam Qin looked over here and asked, "What big thing are you talking about?"

Qin Yiran, "It's okay, it's just a small matter between Yingyue and me."

Seeing that the two were getting along again, Madam Qin was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Dalang, you came at the right time. I have selected fabric for your winter clothes. What do you think of the color? I picked the fabric for Yingyue and she said she liked it very much. It's okay on your side. I will ask someone to send it to the market street for Madam Qiu to make it."

Qin Yiran said, "I like everything my mother arranges."

Aunt Qian at the side said with a smile, "Mrs. Qiu's craftsmanship is really good. The eldest lady likes the clothes she makes the most."

Liu Yingyue stood up and said, "It's time to prepare lunch. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."

Qin Yiran pulled her to sit down, "I came from the kitchen and have already prepared it. You don't have to go and see."

Liu Yingyue smiled calmly, "Why did you think of going to the kitchen?"

Qin Yiran glanced at Madam Qin and took Liu Yingyue's hand, "Come with me."

Liu Yingyue blinked and followed him back to the courtyard.

"Yingyue, what's the matter with that cotton coat? Why did you order so many clothes?" Qin Yiran looked straight at Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue had long thought of this day when she would be questioned by Qin Yiran.

The Qin family was secretly rebellious, even Qiu Shuixian knew about it, but she didn't know.

"I want to make money." Liu Yingyue had already thought of an excuse. "The Gao family has shops and farms, but our family only has fields. If we encounter a famine, we will be worse off than ordinary families. We need to develop multiple industries. We don't produce cotton in the south, and cotton-padded clothes made of kapok are not as warm as those made of cotton in the north. I thought, why not transport some cotton-padded clothes fabrics from the north for processing and sell them in the north and south? Although the winter in the south is not as cold as that in the north, the south also has extremely cold weather for half a month, and some people are extremely afraid of the cold. Some people have to prepare thick cotton-padded clothes to go to the north. These are all business opportunities."
