Chapter 29 Your lover must have given it to you

The young man from a foreign race was brought out from Paiyun Tower, and it was inconvenient to let outsiders know. After hearing about it, Feng Qingsui went to the workshop and examined him personally.

High fever is caused by wound infection.

She cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and wrote a prescription to Aunt Xu: "Pick up two sets of medicine and boil them for him to drink."

Nanny Xu asked Qingmai to do it.

Feng Qingsui explained the boy's origins, and Nanny Xu nodded: "Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of him."

"I'm very confident in your work."

Feng Qingsui smiled.

Madam Xu also smiled and immediately mentioned something: "After the last batch of sweaters and down jackets were rushed out, the helpers took a vacation. It has been a few days now. Some of those who can't wait have come to ask me when work will start again."

Feng Qingsui set up these two workshops just to produce the clothes to be donated to the orphanage, and never thought about the follow-up.

"There's nothing to do, just shut it down."

Aunt Xu sighed slightly: "That's a pity. No one sells these sweaters and down jackets on the market."

Feng Qingsui's heart moved: "Madam, what do you think? Feel free to tell me."

"I heard that this winter is unusually cold, and fur is especially popular. Our down sweaters, while not as expensive as fur, are just as warm and lighter. If we could open a shop and sell them, we could make quite a bit of money."

Aunt Xu replied.

No one would complain about having too much money, especially since Feng Qingsui didn't have much income to begin with.

But... she frowned. "Down is easy to get, but wool is hard to find. In the capital, most people skin the sheep and eat them, and few even perm the wool. It took a lot of effort to collect enough wool for the last batch of clothes. I'm afraid we won't have enough materials to make sweaters again."

"That's not difficult."

Aunt Xu smiled.

"Sheep in nomadic areas molt between spring and summer, and they accumulate a tremendous amount of wool. We can ask merchants doing business outside the Great Wall to bring some back."

"Those merchants all have falcons, and we have teams in both places. If we work as fast as we can, we'll have the goods in ten days or half a month. During this time, we can look for a shop to renovate."

Feng Qingsui saw that she was confident and said, "Then leave it to Madam."

"Okay!"

Aunt Xu did what she said. Within two days, she found a shop. After Feng Qingsui signed the lease, she started to decorate it, while the workshop was busy purchasing materials and making samples.

During this period, Feng Qingsui still went to Rongchang Marquis' Mansion every day to accompany Wei for a walk.

Wei lost several pounds, her figure gradually became slimmer, and she smiled more often. According to her, the son of Marquis Rongchang now stays with her for half a month every month.

Even though he told Feng Qingsui such a private matter, he kept his mouth shut and did not reveal at all that the "Auntie Cui" had been replaced by someone else a long time ago.

Feng Qingsui pretended not to know, but he never met Han Ruixuan again, so it was not easy to start from him.

Just when she was about to find another way, Aunt Xu told her that the shop could be opened.

"It needs a name."

Nanny Xu said.

Feng Qingsui thought for a moment and replied, "Let's call it Qinghui Nuanrong Pavilion."

"That's a great name!" Aunt Xu praised. "What's the origin of it?"

"'The shadows are reflected in the daytime, and the clear light shines on the clothes' is from the poem 'Que Ti' by Liu Shenxu of the Tang Dynasty."

After Feng Qingsui finished speaking, he thought of his sister and Xiaoyu.

My sister's nickname is Qingxi, which was given by my brother-in-law. He liked the line from "Que Ti" (Que Ti) "The road ends with white clouds, where spring and the clear creek grow long." Later, when the child was born, he named him "Chun Yu".

When she saw that her sister had a nickname, she chose one for herself.

Anyway, she has her sister's surname.

After Aunt Xu got the name, she had a plaque made and chose a day for the opening. The day before the opening, Feng Qingsui took the opportunity of the family having dinner to give Qi and Ji Changqing a down jacket, a down vest, a turtleneck sweater and a scarf.

The style of the long coat is based on the current winter clothing style and looks like an ordinary coat.

But Qi was surprised as soon as she took action: "Why is it so light?"

"It's filled with goose down, not cotton."

Feng Qingsui smiled.

“No wonder it’s so fluffy.”

Qi smiled and said that she liked the long gown very much.

Feng Qingsui casually mentioned that he had opened a warm velvet pavilion on North-South Street. Qi praised him and said, "You should have your own business."

Ji Changqing sat quietly by the side, pondering the deeper meaning of Feng Qingsui's action.

As early as when he inspected the orphanage, he knew that Feng Qingsui had opened a workshop and made clothes with down and wool. This person didn't send clothes earlier or later, but sent them when he was planning to drive her away. Was this a disguised way of pleading for him?

Forget it, considering that she saved my life twice, I'll just turn a blind eye.

I hope she doesn't cause any more trouble than he can clean up.

He brought his share of clothes back to the yard and asked Baifu to put them away, with no intention of wearing them.

Unexpectedly, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and a layer of ice formed in the fish pond in the courtyard. Even though he was strong, he felt a little cold in the leather court robe he was wearing.

The wind was strong outside and my neck felt cold.

You should wear a cloak and a scarf.

That would be too cumbersome.

Suddenly I remembered the high-necked sweater Feng Qingsui gave me. If I wore it under my fur coat, it would not look bulky and could cover my neck, which would be just right.

He hesitated for a moment and let Baifu take it.

After putting it on, it was just as he had imagined, perfectly fitting, so he wore it directly to court.

As the sky was just getting light, the front of the palace gate was filled with carriages and sedans of all sizes. No matter whether you came by sedan or car, you had to get off at the palace gate and walk to the Qinzheng Hall.

The north wind was howling, cold and dry, and it made people's skin crack.

The officials were wrapped in cloaks, holding hand warmers, and walking as slowly as snails with their necks hunched.

In this bloated and slow-moving team, Ji Changqing, who still stood tall and strode forward, became a conspicuous figure.

"Young people are different. They are so hot-tempered that they refuse to wear more clothes."

An old man said sourly.

"That's right. When you get older and suffer a great crime, you will regret it." Someone on the side echoed.

Shangguan Mu, the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household who was following Ji Changqing, wanted to tease him - he and Ji Changqing were both Jinshi in the same year, Ji Changqing won the top spot and he won the second place, and they were close friends - but he noticed that the clothes Ji Changqing was wearing under his court robes were unusual.

"Is this...woven from wool?"

He said in surprise.

"How do you weave so skillfully? Let me see."

As he said this, he reached out and pulled it to see.

Ji Changqing slapped his hand away: "If you want to see, then see. Why use force?"

"Such a treasure, could it be a gift from your lover?" Shangguan Mu said jokingly.

Ji Changqing's face darkened: "What nonsense, this is..."

I wanted to say that it was prepared by my eldest sister-in-law, but I was afraid that this guy would still say something dirty, so I had to mention Feng Qingsui's shop: "It's the stuff sold at Qinghui Nuanrong Pavilion on North-South Street."

After saying that, I felt something was not right.

When they heard Shangguan Mu suddenly realize, "So it's from Qinghui Nuanrong Pavilion. I'll go and take a look after the court", the people nearby also looked thoughtful and suddenly understood.

It turns out that Feng Qingsui gave him clothes not to please him, but to ask him to promote his products?
