Luo Lingyue rushed back to the General's Mansion and immediately plunged into her work. She was extremely anxious because the task before her was extremely difficult: to find out the details of her second brother's property in the capital.
Luo Lingyue sat in the center of her study, her desk piled high with thick ledgers and documents. She flipped through each page intently, her brow furrowed at times, her face beaming with joy at others. She looked like a kitten that had just smuggled some delicious fish—utterly adorable.
As time went by, Luo Lingyue's smile grew brighter. This trip to Jiangnan had made her rich overnight! It had been a simple trip, but she hadn't expected such a bountiful harvest. This was truly beyond her expectations.
Meanwhile, the Fuyuan Bank token that had been stolen from Luo Lingliu by the robbers had now fallen into Luo Lingyue's hands. This was undoubtedly another unexpected windfall, further increasing Luo Lingyue's wealth.
At this time, An Qingyi came to Luo Lingyue to discuss Luo Lingliu's wedding banquet in the capital.
Without a word, Luo Lingyue readily took out a thick stack of banknotes and handed them to An Qingyi. The amount on the banknotes was staggering. "Mother! There's enough money here to properly plan my second brother's wedding!"
Seeing this, An Qingyi couldn't help but smile. She gently stroked Luo Lingyue's hair and said, "Silly child, the expenses for Second Brother's wedding should naturally be paid from the general's mansion's public account. How can you use your own private money?"
Luo Lingyue leaned affectionately into An Qingyi's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother! Second brother has entrusted all his businesses to me, so of course I have to cover the expenses of his wedding this time!"
An Qingyi nodded lovingly to show her understanding, but still insisted that the general's mansion had no shortage of funds to hold a wedding banquet.
However, Luo Lingyue winked mischievously and said with a smile, "Mother, if that's the case, then let me take care of all the arrangements for Second Brother's wedding! When the time comes, I'll collect the gifts from the wedding banquet on his behalf! Anyway, the two of them still have to run around inspecting various businesses, so don't let them worry about such trivial matters!"
Hearing this, An Qingyi was stunned. She looked at Luo Lingyue in surprise, thinking: How could I not have noticed that Xiaoqi was so greedy before? But this is also a good thing, it means that the child has grown up and understood, and knows how to share the responsibilities of the family. Thinking of this, An Qingyi smiled with relief.
At Luo Lingliu's wedding banquet, Luo Lingyue was busy running around, weaving through the crowd like a hardworking little bee. She personally directed the servants to set up the venue and arrange the tables and chairs, ensuring that every detail was perfect.
Throughout the entire wedding banquet, Luo Lingyue maintained a high level of focus and enthusiasm. Not only did she have to take care of the guests, but she also had to keep a close eye on the various situations at the wedding venue, so she could respond promptly to any emergencies. Despite the hectic schedule, Luo Lingyue relished it, knowing that this wedding banquet held such profound significance for the Luo family.
After much effort, the wedding banquet finally concluded successfully. Luo Lingyue had made a fortune, which made her feel extremely satisfied. However, she didn't stop there. Instead, she immediately began to prepare for another important matter: finding the most famous clothing shop in the capital to make special clothes.
Luo Lingyue arrived at the shop with her carefully drawn clothing design. She handed the blueprint to the tailor and said solemnly, "You must make the clothes according to my blueprint, and fill them with goose feathers!"
The tailor took the blueprint, examined it carefully for a moment, and then nodded, indicating that he understood Luo Lingyue's request. Although he was a little confused, he decided to follow the customer's request. After all, this customer was a famous wealthy lady in the capital, and he couldn't afford to offend her!
After Luo Lingyue left, the tailor turned around and couldn't wait to find Xueying with the design. "Master! Take a look at this! Luo Lingyue asked the clothing shop to make her a cotton-padded jacket like this. I've been in this business for so many years, and I've never heard of a cotton-padded jacket filled with goose feathers instead of cotton!"
Xueying took the design and examined it carefully. He frowned slightly and said in confusion, "Hmm... This dress is indeed a bit strange! Do you know what she wants it for?"
The tailor scratched his head, also confused: "From my perspective, this clothing looks like something worn by people who do rough work. Could it be that Luo Lingyue is going to wear it to work in the fields?" He muttered to himself.
Xueying pondered for a moment, secretly speculating in his heart: What is the deep meaning of Luo Lingyue's action? Is this cotton coat hiding some secret? No, I have to find out.
Thinking of this, he said to the tailor, "Just do as she says, but don't tell anyone about it. When you're done, bring it to me and let me see it."
The tailor took the order and left, but he began to wonder in his heart: "What on earth is Luo Lingyue doing? Will this cotton-padded jacket keep me warm?" Although he was full of doubts, he still started to make this special cotton-padded jacket according to Xueying's instructions.
At this moment, in a small, dimly lit room, a tailor was concentrating on his work. With his skillful hands and quick movements, he completed a beautiful garment in the blink of an eye.
The tailor proudly brought his newly finished garment to Xueying and said, "Master, please take a look. While sewing, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this garment has extraordinary warmth retention properties, even better than a cotton-padded jacket!"
Xueying took the dress, examined it carefully, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a mysterious and confident smile: "Haha, this sect leader finally understands what Luo Lingyue is planning! You should send this dress to her immediately!"
