Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.
Chapter 6: Less Than 3 Days
"Since we are destined to meet, your father will definitely agree."
Lin Yi looked calm and walked in with his things.
"See Miss."
"these are……"
The steward of Prince Qing's Mansion brought people out, with a look of doubt on his face.
"This is the person I brought with me to help them bring everything in."
As the girl spoke, she led Lin Yi and Xiaomei inside.
Although Prince Qing's Mansion cannot be described as magnificent, it does have a certain elegance.
Lin Yi and Xiaomei followed the girl into the hall, where a strong military atmosphere arose.
In contrast to the elegance of the courtyard, the hall only gives people a simple feeling, and the swords placed on the side reveal a sense of solemnity.
"Butler, put the things on the table."
"Wait a minute, you two. I'll go get Daddy."
There was a hint of mischief in the girl's smile.
"Sir, why don't you return this hundred taels?"
Looking at the surroundings, Xiaomei was a little scared. "Should we wait for another business?"
Perhaps she was frightened by the swords and felt that she was in great danger.
"They come, the security."
"How can we let go of such a good opportunity?"
Lin Yi looked relaxed, and even felt at home. His father also had similar decorations at home.
The two of them were completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching them from behind the screen.
"Daughter, is this the brownie you were talking about?"
Prince Qing looked at Lin Yi, somewhat puzzled.
"Daddy, his cloth is very interesting."
"Although it's a bit expensive, it's comfortable to apply and keeps you warm."
The girl spoke softly, as if discussing some important secret, "Daddy, don't you always say that the soldiers at the front are hungry and cold?"
"The north is cold, and there aren't many fabrics in the world that can keep out the cold like sable fur."
Prince Qing shook his head, looking unconvinced. "But mink furs are expensive, and they can't possibly provide enough clothing for all the soldiers in the army."
"Daddy, that's not mink, that's wool!"
After hearing what the girl said, Prince Qing became even less convinced.
"Daughter, I think you have been deceived."
Prince Qing breathed a sigh of relief, as if he understood everything. "In the past, wool cloth was indeed made, but the cloth produced was either very smelly or difficult to spread out. It required a lot of effort to make it!"
Suddenly, his eyebrows slightly raised, "If someone can really make it, one ounce of silver and one zhang is really cheap."
"Daddy, come with me and take a look first!"
The girl smiled and pulled Prince Qing out.
"Why don't you kneel down yet?"
The butler who was waiting on the side saw Prince Qing and immediately reminded Lin Yi and Xiaomei.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Qing."
Lin Yi stood up and knelt to salute, then raised his head slightly and looked at Prince Qing.
Although Prince Qing is middle-aged, his temples are already gray due to past wars.
He is strong and powerful, and looks like a general.
"Everyone, get up. My daughter says your cloth is amazing."
"I want to see what this is."
Prince Qing snorted coldly, sat down at the table and picked up the cloth.
He didn't touch it carefully, but smelled it first.
After confirming that there was no strange smell, he touched it carefully.
"Yes, it's wool."
Prince Qing muttered to himself, touched it, and then picked it up to try it out.
Woolen cloth is as warm as mink fur when wrapped around your body, and it's even a bit silky!
"Yes, it must have taken a lot of effort to make the woolen cloth this good."
After trying it for a long time, Prince Qing spoke slowly, then looked at Lin Yi, "How did you make it?"
"I have my own way."
"Since His Royal Highness Prince Qing is satisfied, then I am relieved."
"This business trip is done."
Lin Yi slowly said, "That girl gave me a deposit of one hundred taels. Here are thirty zhang. I will deliver another seventy zhang the next day."
"Wait a minute."
When Prince Qing saw Lin Yi about to leave, he immediately stopped him, "One hundred taels is the deposit. If I want five hundred feet, can you finish it within three days?"
"of course."
"However much His Royal Highness Prince Qing wants, I'll give you. Money and goods will arrive!"
Lin Yi turned around, a heroic look on his face.
Prince Qing admired this kind of courage.
"it is good!"
Prince Qing nodded slightly, "If you can do that, then I have a bigger business for you."
"If you can't do it, I want you to return all the deposit of one hundred taels!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi's face relaxed and he slowly uttered two words: Of course.
"It's so late, Daddy, please let them stay for dinner!"
The girl looked at Lin Yi with interest and refused to let them leave so quickly.
"Then... it's better to obey than to be respectful."
Lin Yi clasped his fists, bowed his head, and kowtowed again.
At dinner time, Lin Yi looked at the simple food on the table.
"Master, why are all the meals so simple?"
Xiaomei leaned close to Lin Yi's ear and asked, but she never expected that Prince Qing would hear this.
"Yes, we in Prince Qing's Mansion usually eat simple meals."
Prince Qing spoke slowly, "The military pay is insufficient. I can only use the taxes from my fiefdom to make up for it, but it's still a drop in the bucket."
While speaking, his eyes never left Lin Yi.
Lin Yi understood what Prince Qing and his daughter were thinking.
But that was also his idea.
Woolen cloth is used as clothing and bedding for the military. It is not only warm but also comfortable to use.
He just didn't expect that the girl was the daughter of Prince Qing, nor did he expect that Prince Qing had the same idea as him.
Instantly, Prince Qing saw through Lin Yi's thoughts and sneered, "You want to do military business, I can consider it."
"Three days is also a test for you."
He explained slowly, "I guess you've already made considerable preparations, right?"
"We have made preparations, please rest assured, Your Highness."
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
Then the dinner began.
During the conversation, they also learned that Prince Qing's daughter was named Chu Yaoyue.
Several of Prince Qing's sons died in the battlefield, leaving only this daughter, whom he cherished like a treasure.
He holds military power on the frontier and is always walking a tightrope.
In order to prevent the villains in the court from plotting against him, Chu Yaoyue was deliberately allowed to take her mother's surname, Chu.
After the dinner, Prince Qing sent someone to escort Lin Yi and Xiaomei out of the city and back to Niujia Village.
Seeing the escorting servants from Prince Qing's Mansion leave, Xiaomei immediately looked worried.
"Master, these thirty zhang took a long time. How can we possibly make five hundred zhang of woolen cloth in three days?"
She pursed her lips, worry in her eyes.
"They come, the security."
"Since I have accepted this mission, I will do it with peace of mind."
When Lin Yi came back, no, he had already figured out a solution before he left. "Not three days, just... one day!"
"We haven't been out selling cloth for so many days, and it's not like I'm sitting at home doing nothing."
He waved his hand slightly and made the bed. "Go to bed early. Someone will naturally help you tomorrow."
After that, the lights went out and they both went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Yi assembled the loom parts he had prepared early in the morning. Villagers still came to bring wool in exchange for meat.
While Lin Yi asked Xiaomei to continue exchanging wool, he took a hundred taels of silver notes and ran to the city market to buy a large number of pigs and cattle, as well as a lot of other food.
The sellers at the market thought they had met a wealthy man with too much money to spend, and even personally helped him deliver the goods to Niujia Village.
