Chapter 83 Collecting Duck Down



"Sister Fang did a great job. In the future, as the manager, you will encounter many different kinds of people. You must have the courage to face them and remain calm and resourceful when problems arise." Nan Wusi expressed his approval of Hu Zi's mother.

Tiger's mother nodded solemnly after hearing this.

After visiting all the shops, Nan Wusi discovered that many shops had the same styles and patterns, which would be better for her in choosing to produce ready-made clothes in batches in the future.

After ordering all the fabrics, she told the shops to deliver them to the designated tailors, and then she selected several designs to match the patterns based on the fabrics, and handed the designs over to the tailors.

She had already found out yesterday that some more experienced tailors could make one piece in a day, while less experienced tailors would need two to three days.

So when she bought the fabric, she also estimated the amount that the tailors could make, and then sent the corresponding amount of fabric to the corresponding tailor shops.

Tiger's mother had followed along all day and understood the entire process, so she wouldn't need Nan Wusi to accompany her next time.

"Master, how am I supposed to decide on the pattern and fabric selection?" Tiger's mother had no problem with the others, but she was unsure about the pattern.

"I'll give you the blueprints in advance, and you can choose from similar ones." Nan Wusi didn't think it was a big problem.

It's important to know that even very ordinary styles without any embellishments are highly sought after by ordinary people. Therefore, it can be said that you don't need to be too picky about the styles from Lan Yi Fang. As long as they are not too ugly, there shouldn't be any problems.

After returning to Lan Yi Fang, Nan Wusi asked Hu Zi's mother to post a notice stating that Lan Yi Fang would buy one catty of duck down for one hundred copper coins.

"Miss, why are you collecting duck down?" Ye Zi was completely puzzled. Isn't duck down considered waste?

“Of course it’s useful.” Nan Wusi didn’t explain further, since they had no idea about down jackets.

"So, if someone comes to provide down, should we accept it all?" Tiger's mother asked.

"Mm." Nan Wusi nodded.

"But what if Lan Yi Fang can't hold all of them?" Tiger's mother sensed that many people would come to join in the fun.

"If you can't fit it all in the pile, then have someone send it to the General's Mansion." Nan Wusi had originally planned to process the down at the General's Mansion first.

"Okay," Tiger's mother replied.

Nan Wusi figured there was nothing else to do today, so he returned to the General's Mansion with a clear conscience. Today had taken up almost the entire day, and tomorrow would be the next day for booking a special reservation slot.

Nan Wusi felt that time was flying by, but there were still many things he hadn't finished.

The next day, the whole process of booking the spots went very smoothly, except for one thing that Nan Wusi was not entirely satisfied with: Xiao Mu actually showed up.

Xiao Mu's attitude gave Nan Wusi a real headache. She had Mengyifang with her, so she couldn't avoid him. But as the Crown Prince, she couldn't hit Xiao Mu either. How could she possibly avoid him?

Fortunately, there were many people today, and Xiao Mu did not do anything out of line. On the contrary, he behaved properly from beginning to end, showing the demeanor of a crown prince. After securing his spot, he left quickly, which made Nan Wusi breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the thought of having to make clothes for Xiao Mu separately later gave her a headache.

Upon seeing Xiao Mu today, Nan Wusi remembered that she had previously mentioned wanting to explore the courtyard where Xiao Mu and Ouyang Jiangli were having their rendezvous. She hadn't gone yet, and the day for their secret meeting was fast approaching, so she had to go and check it out tonight.

After closing the shop, Nan Wusi began preparing for her nighttime raid. She remembered that there were night-clothes available in the system shop before.

So Nan Wusi started searching. There were too many items in the system store, and it was really troublesome and time-consuming for her to browse through them.

Furthermore, Nan Wusi couldn't understand why there was something like a night-clothes outfit in the system shop. Was this even a legitimate system?

Nan Wusi actually found it after searching around, but unexpectedly, Ye Zi pushed the door open and came in just as she changed into it.

"Ah!!!" Ye Zi screamed, and Nan Wusi immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth.

"What are you yelling about?" Nan Wusi scolded in a low voice.

"Mmm..." Yezi's mouth was still covered.

Nan Wusi then let go.

"Miss, you scared me to death! Why are you dressed like this?" Ye Zi was genuinely frightened. She thought some villain had broken into the General's Mansion and was about to do something indecent to her young lady in her room.

"I'm going out for a bit. You keep a close watch on me. If anyone else finds out, and your second brother or grandmother comes looking for me, just say I'm asleep," Nan Wusi instructed.

"Okay, Miss, please be careful." Ye Zi knew from Nan Wusi's outfit that her young lady was going out to cause trouble.

After changing her clothes, Nan Wusi took out the map and carefully tucked it into her bosom. This thing was extremely important; if she lost it, she might not even be able to find the General's Mansion today.

After giving Ye Zi some more instructions, Nan Wusi quietly slipped out of the General's Mansion without alerting anyone. Her skills had already surpassed those of her second brother, and she was even on par with her eldest brother, so she was very confident.

In the stillness of the night, speeding across the rooftops of the capital, she gazed at the scenery on both sides, feeling a sense of exhilarating joy.

"Am I suited to be a thief?" Nan Wusi quipped to himself, wondering if the ancients understood the joy of being a night owl.

Finding her way at night was several times more difficult for Nan Wusi, and she quickly lost her joy because she had to take out the map to check it every now and then, afraid that she had taken the wrong route.

Fortunately, with a map in hand, I have the world at my fingertips. Although finding the way took a little time, Nan Wusi finally found it.

The surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that no one lived there. Nan Wusi cautiously wandered around, worried that someone might be guarding the courtyard.

After all, this is where the Crown Prince holds private meetings. Even if he doesn't usually come here, it's normal for someone to guard it.

After looking around the area, Nan Wusi chose a corner and climbed over the wall to enter.

The courtyard wasn't large, with only two main rooms. Sure enough, there were guards on both sides of each room, but they all seemed rather lazy, as if they knew the Crown Prince wouldn't be coming these days.

However, given how small the courtyard is, why didn't Ouyang Xinxi see the Crown Prince enter? Could there be a secret passage?

Thinking of this, Nan Wusi's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "This is interesting."

However, how she gets into the room to find the secret passage is now a problem.
