Just when you're feeling sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. Liu Huan changed into women's clothes and was strolling around the city when she saw a place where geese and ducks were being slaughtered.

She stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"The officers in the military camp bought all our geese. We'll slaughter them and send them over to them for cooking tomorrow."

Liu Huan asked again, "Auntie, how many geese do you have? It must take until dark to finish them."

"Several hundred, they're all raised by them, otherwise I wouldn't dare to feed so many."

The older woman leaned closer and told her, "I'll let you in on a secret, my son is a cook in the mess hall. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have such a big business."

Liu Huan suddenly realized that making down jackets wasn't a bad idea. They didn't need to be the best; ordinary ones would do. She also made jackets and pants.

Actually, as long as your legs and body are warm, the rest of your body won't be too cold.

A down jacket requires a lot of down, but a vest doesn't need as much; you can make it thicker.

It's lighter and more convenient to wear underneath, and if you're still afraid of getting cold, you can add a cotton robe on top, which should be enough.

Liu Huan immediately asked the aunt to sell her all the goose feathers. The aunt, unaware of what she wanted to do, simply said, "What does the little girl want this for? It's very fishy."

"I need them, auntie, please buy them all for me."

Seeing that she had been persuaded to give her more, the older woman didn't refuse anymore, saying, "Okay, then where should I take it to?"

Liu Huan thought for a moment, "Just leave it here for now, please pack it up for me, and I'll call someone to come and get it in a bit."

Liu Huan led Qiu Rong to the prefect's residence. The doorman outside, seeing such a beautiful girl looking around, greeted her with a grin, "Beautiful lady, who are you looking for?"

Qiu Rong stood before her, saying, "How dare you! You dare to offend my master!"

Qiu Rong, emboldened by her status as a bully, stood arrogantly to the side, causing the doorman to immediately kneel on the ground, saying, "I deserve to die. Whose young lady is she? What are your orders?"

"My mistress is a female relative of Lord Su, and she has something to discuss with Lord Su."

The doorman naturally recognized the new Lord Su as handsome and extraordinary. He dared not delay and was about to go in when he was stopped by the man who approached him. "What's going on?"

"Young Master, this young lady says she is a member of the Su family and has come to see Lord Su about something."

The young master looked Liu Huan up and down, then suddenly laughed, "Then why don't you take her in? You have no sense of propriety."

He then changed the subject, saying, "Never mind, I have nothing else to do anyway. Miss, I'll take you inside."

Seeing him carrying a folding umbrella in the dead of winter, shaking his head and swaying, Liu Huan figured he was either a bad person or a delusional teenager, so she suppressed a laugh and said, "Thank you."

As Liu Huan entered, she bumped into several men coming towards her. The middle-aged man in the lead had a dark expression on his face and scolded, "What are you doing? Don't you see there are guests here? It's one thing to mess around outside, but now you're bringing a woman into your home. You're really becoming more and more outrageous."

The man standing next to Liu Huan was stunned. He looked at Liu Huan and then at Su Yi, holding his fan. "No, it's not me..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yi walked up to Liu Huan and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Those present were a little confused. What was going on?

In particular, a young man who had been quite pleased with himself by the prefect's side had his smile completely gone.

The prefect was a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and asked, "Lord Su, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

"She is my fiancée. I hope you will forgive my intrusion, Lord Han."

The prefect waved his hand, "Not at all, not at all. Why don't you go ahead with your work? We can talk about the dinner party another time."

Su Yi left with Liu Huan, looking apologetic.

The man standing next to the prefect asked, "How did you meet Lord Su's fiancée, brother?"

The man snorted coldly, "What, you want to meddle in this too?"

The prefect, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Your second brother is just concerned about you. Can't you watch your words?"

The man smiled indifferently, "Did I ask him to care? Who cares?"

After saying that, he left in a saunter-like manner. The prefect was so angry that he was panting. The man next to him immediately said, "Father, please calm down. I believe that my elder brother did not do it on purpose. He probably didn't sleep well after coming back from outside, so it's inevitable that he was a little irritable."

Hearing this, the prefect became even angrier. "That unfilial son, I wonder which woman he was with last night. If he were half as easy to deal with as you, I wouldn't be in this mess... Sigh!"

The man feigned concern and said, "Father, my elder brother just doesn't understand your good intentions. If he knew you were thinking of him, he definitely wouldn't have acted this way."

The prefect grew increasingly angry as he listened, and stormed off.

The man smirked smugly and said to the person beside him, "Go and investigate that woman's background, and how she met Han You."

"yes!"

Su Yi followed Liu Huan out and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Huan pulled him quite a distance before asking, "Have you found a place yet?"

Su Yi countered, "Didn't you say there was no rush right now?"

Hearing him say that, Liu Huan realized what he meant and chuckled awkwardly, "I'm thinking about it again now. I figured we'd be staying for a while anyway, and living in an inn every day isn't a solution. We should buy a smaller house so we can live more comfortably."

Su Yi always listened to her. "Okay, I'll have Changbai look for some. There are a lot of empty houses due to the recent war, so we can move in in no time."

"That would be best," Liu Huan thought. "Then hurry up, I want to go in as soon as possible, I have something to do."

Changbai quickly found a house near the government office. It wasn't big, but it was small yet complete, with everything you needed.

Liu Huan took Changbai to bring back the goose feathers that the aunt had prepared.

I bought two large pots, shoveled all the snow into them to melt and heat it up, poured in the goose feathers, and started rubbing them with laundry detergent.

Fortunately, it was winter and the ducks were placed on the snow, and the duck farm was cleaned up, so their feathers weren't particularly dirty.

It took many washes to barely get the stuff off.

After washing them, I put them on charcoal to roast, but I found that it was very slow and I still needed a drying room.

However, she only used it for experiments and didn't need too much, so the amount she baked was just enough.

To dry the bags quickly, Liu Huan and Qiu Rong stayed up all night, drying them little by little before moving on to the next bag.

She finished drying everything just before dawn, yawning and waving her hand, "Let's leave it for now, go get some sleep, we'll do the rest later."

Qiu Rong nodded wearily. The two of them slept until noon, when Chang Bai brought back the food before they got up.

"Miss, Master has been very busy these past few days. He said you could wait until he comes back and then we can do it together?"

Liu Huan waved her hand, "No need, this is very simple, you go ahead and do your work."

After dinner, she cheered herself up and, together with Qiu Rong, kept sifting through the bag. After sifting, they poured it all out and sifted through it again, filtering out the fine goose down, which wasn't as white as the down in the down jacket.
