Chapter 859 Family Letter
Upon learning of Lin Yuesha's experiences over the past few days, Bai Cha said in disbelief, "Miss, I was wrong to misunderstand you. You've had it so tough!"
Bai Cha quickly apologized, saying that if Miss hadn't used the fake information to obtain Helian Cheng's information, Qi Heng would never have been able to rescue Xu Da so easily.
Ultimately, it was their young mistress who played a crucial role.
"They were all nightmares, let's not talk about them."
Lin Yuesha carefully stroked the beauty lamp, liking it very much. She decided to hang the beauty lamp by her bedside tonight.
Qi Heng is skillful, has good cooking skills, can make beauty lanterns, and can also see what she is thinking.
Lin Yuesha was sitting in a chair drinking tea when she noticed an envelope on the table.
"This servant almost forgot, the letter was delivered by fast horse from Cangzhou."
There was a chicken feather stuck in the envelope. Lin Yuesha opened it with a knife blade and found a letter from her father, Xiao Chenggui.
In the capital, the Wei family seized power, and a scholar rebelled, running to the gate of the Prefectural Governor's office to lodge a bloody remonstrance, causing quite a commotion.
Lin Shusheng defected to the Wei family and became their lackey. To prevent a rebellion, the gates of the capital were closed.
The lives of ordinary people were not greatly affected, but their own family was different; they were still being targeted by Lin Shusheng.
"Pah, what a vicious scumbag."
After reading the letter, Lin Yuesha marveled at Qi Heng's foresight in making arrangements for her family beforehand. It was dangerous for them to stay in the capital, and her parents had already moved to Cangzhou.
Lin Shusheng led his men to the mansion and banged on the door, accusing her stepbrother Xiao Qi of being a troublemaker and demanding a search of the mansion.
Lin Yuesha understood Lin Shusheng's little scheme perfectly well.
Although Lin Shusheng was a kept man who rose to power through the Qin family, he became envious when he saw how well his mother had remarried. He believed that Chen was his woman and should remain faithful to her until the end.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to search the mansion, he wanted to kidnap Chen, turn her into a concubine, and then make her serve as a slave to the Lin family's wicked mother and son.
Jiao Niang stayed by Lin Shusheng's side, intending to take revenge on the mother and son, but it's unknown how well her plan is progressing.
The letter contained only a few lines of text. After reading it, Lin Yuesha immediately wrote back to her parents.
"Miss, why didn't you mention marriage?"
Bai Cha watched from the side and thought it was a joyous occasion that should be shared with the master and mistress.
"My older brother isn't even married yet, and I beat him to it. Is that fair?"
Furthermore, Lin Yuesha is getting married and her parents are not around. If Chen Shi is informed, it might cause her further distress.
Lin Yuesha only reported good news and not bad news, saying that everything was peaceful and relatively free at the border, and that her life was no worse than in the capital.
As for the marriage, I'll explain it to my parents when I get back to the capital.
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, after returning to Daqi, the house was warm and cozy, and Lin Yuesha should have had a good night's sleep. However, perhaps because she had been frightened at Helian Cheng's mansion, she woke up several times during the night.
Every time she wakes up and sees the bedside lamp, thinking of the warm days spent with her family, she can fall back asleep peacefully.
The next day, before Lin Yuesha had even had breakfast, Bai Cha came in carrying a large stack of account books.
What are all these things?
Lin Yuesha yawned, casually flipped through the pages, and exclaimed in surprise when she saw the amount at the bottom, "You earned so much silver?"
"It's not just about making money anymore."
I've already checked everything, and I'm here specifically to summarize it for Lin Yuesha.
“Miss, based on your suggestion, our business can be done very flexibly.”
Duck down and goose down are easy to collect, but they need to be washed and dried later, which is a rather complicated process.
The subsequent processing and sewing into down jackets requires several more steps.
Lin Yuesha has already opened several small workshops, but the supply of down jackets still cannot meet the demand.
During the coldest period of winter in Northwest China, people used to wear heavy fur coats, which were quite expensive. The cotton wadding inside had to be replaced every two or three years, otherwise they wouldn't be warm enough.
Down jackets have redefined people's understanding of what constitutes a down jacket, and have immediately garnered positive reviews since their release.
"You said that people who want down jackets can pay for them with their work."
Simply put, people who want down jackets can come and collect materials, and then learn from the workshop staff for a day.
After completing the training, you can bring the materials home and receive one down jacket for every ten down jackets you make, without having to provide the fabric yourself.
If someone is willing to provide fabric or leather, the workshop will lower its standards.
In this way, poor people only needed to be diligent to get down jackets, and many mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and unmarried women joined in.
Some people traded cotton wadding, some traded cloth, and some even traded their own grain or stored cabbage.
These exchanged supplies are then used in military supplies, thus creating a cycle.
"During your absence from the border, the sisters from the other three villages of the Forty-Eight Villages came together. They have now been divided into groups. Those who can read and write have been separated and are waiting for you to take over and assign them tasks."
Bai Cha took out her small notebook and wrote down the reply, so as not to forget things.
Among them, the most capable women have already joined forces with Yu Qiuniang, the leader of the First Village, and formed a women's army.
Lianqiao, together with Dr. Yan, recruited bold and meticulous women to form a medical team.
"I see."
Lin Yuesha took a liking to Feng Anqing, the second chieftain under Yang Qing. He was a smart man, good at business.
When traveling, women are ultimately less convenient than men.
"Is there anything else?"
Lin Yuesha was tidying her clothes when she saw Bai Cha still standing there, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. She asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so hesitant?"
"yes……"
Bai Cha chuckled twice, realizing that her young mistress had forgotten something.
"What?"
Lin Yuesha was confused; her brain wasn't working properly.
“You only told the first episode of Journey to the West in the village. The village chief has come to us several times. If you don’t show up soon, his family won’t be able to have a good New Year.”
The village chief's grandson kept calling out "Monkey King" all day long, causing the village chief endless trouble.
The Qiuyue Troupe's performance was excellent, and the villagers were busy watching it, which temporarily distracted them. However, the children were not interested in these things; they only liked Sun Wukong.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot."
Lin Yuesha suddenly remembered that during her leisure time in Jinyuguan, when she couldn't sleep and had nothing to do, she picked up her pen and wrote Journey to the West, intending to bring it back to Wucheng.
As it happened, things didn't go smoothly, and the Journey to the West ended up in Helian's mansion.
What a blunder! What a blunder!
The master and servant were discussing Journey to the West, while at the same time, trouble was brewing in Helian Cheng's mansion because of the handmade items left by Lin Yuesha.
After Qi Heng left, he put Miao Yin back in her place and let her continue to impersonate Lin Yuesha. Not only that, he also took the initiative to train her so that Miao Yin could act even more vividly.
It would be best if a fake remained by Yuwen Kun's side, one that could pass for the real thing, so that Yuwen Kun wouldn't have any designs on his wife.
Because of her dereliction of duty, Miaoyin dared not say it aloud and had to pretend to be innocent.
The night before last, Yuwen Kun made a scene all night. He threw away the coffin lid, which made Yuwen Kun so angry that he vomited blood and fell ill.
