After rebirth, the leader only wants to be with the shadow guard

"Master, it's only been autumn for a short while, and the weather isn't cold yet. Why are you making clothes so early?"

He didn't want to cover himself with a quilt when he slept at noon, but his master insisted on covering his stomach with a corner of the quilt, fearing that he would catch a cold and get sick.

Ying Shiyi's previous clothes were all issued directly by the Dark Pavilion.

Sometimes when I was on a mission outside and the weather suddenly turned cold, I would go to a clothing store and buy a cotton coat to wear, so I didn't know the reason behind this.

Seeing that he was now much more relaxed than before, Lou Jingyu asked whatever he wanted to ask, feeling very relieved.

I explained to him, "The summer clothes we made before were thin and easy to cut, but winter clothes are much more complicated and require more time. Let them make you autumn clothes first, and then winter clothes. This way, the timing is right and you can wear them when the time comes."

Ying Shiyi understood and nodded.

But at a glance, this is too much.

He looked at the pieces of cloth in the lacquer tray brought by the maid. Each piece of cloth was glittering and shining, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary items.

The tailor over there was still introducing it to Lou Jingyu: "This is the new Misty Rain Brocade from Jiangnan this year. It's smooth to the touch and absolutely comfortable."

"This is wool and cotton from foreign countries. It is a good thing that was obtained after the imperial court allowed trade. It is most suitable for making winter clothes."

"And this, Master, you can take a look at it. It's in short supply in the capital right now. It's made of the latest material this year. It's neither too cold nor too hot to wear in autumn."

……

What the tailor said was things that Ying Shiyi had never heard of before, and looking at these cloths was somewhat novel.

Is it really as good as he said?

Lou Jingyu put his hand on the lower back of his waist, looked at his puzzled big eyes and chuckled, then took him to look at the cloth one piece at a time.

Lou Jingyu felt that his boy was so young and handsome, with beautiful features, that he would look good in any color and style of clothes.

Without asking anyone else for help, he measured the size of Ying Shiyi himself just like last time, and then took the material and tried it on Ying Shiyi.

Except for a few pieces that were too dark in color or too complicated in patterns and were rejected by Lou Jingyu, the rest were given to the tailor to make clothes for Ying Shiyi.

Ying Shiyi didn't have many requirements, but Lou Jingyu was very careful about this.

He repeatedly told the tailor: "The clothes for autumn and winter must be made more comfortable, especially the clothes for winter must be warm."

He still remembered that Eleven had a cold body and was worried that he would have a hard winter.

He also asked someone to take the fox fur obtained from last year's hunting from the warehouse and make a cloak and cape for Ying Shiyi.

"Master, this is too extravagant."

Ying Shiyi looked at the fur that the servant brought over. It was a whole piece without any damage.

Such pure fur is very rare, especially without any damage. It requires the hunter to have superb archery skills to obtain such a perfect material.

Lou Jingyu rubbed his head, "It's not a luxury to make it for us, Eleven, and isn't it a waste to just leave it in the warehouse and collect dust?"

Ying Eleven shook his head, "Master, you can do it for yourself."

Lou Jingyu smiled and said, "I do, but our Eleventh doesn't have one, so that's it."

Finally, Lou Jingyu made the final decision. He wanted to give Eleven the best of everything.

It was already dark when the tailor left.

The two of them ate as usual, took a walk to digest the food, bathed and went to bed.

Before going to bed, when Lou Jingyu went to take a shower, Ying Shiyi had already changed into pajamas.

While waiting, he knelt beside the couch and looked out the window, muttering to himself that the moon was getting rounder day by day.

Lou Jingyu was wiping his hair and just heard these words when he came out.

He hugged him from behind and smiled, "Wait until the 15th when the moon is fuller, and I'll watch the moon with you."

Ying Shiyi nodded happily and let Lou Jingyu hold him to sleep.

----

A few days later, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wen Hongling and Lian Jue both rushed back.

It was a coincidence that the two met at the foot of the mountain.

Wen Hongling first went to the north in July, inspected the new products, and then went to the branch to check the accounts.

She had travelled all the way down from the north and now was brought here from the prosperous area south of the Yangtze River.

Today she was wearing a goose yellow dress, with delicate makeup, a simple bun and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally.

Behind him was Ying Shi, dressed in black and holding a sword, and behind him were the managers of Jinhuatang.

Compared with her, Lian Jue looked somewhat miserable. He was originally dressed in white and looked dusty. He was so tired that he didn't even fan himself.

When Wen Hongling greeted him, he nodded and sighed.

"Compared to you, I seem like a refugee."

Wen Hongling laughed and joked, "Then you should go to Hall Master Duan and let him feel sorry for you."

Lian Jue clapped his fan and said, "That's a good idea."

The two of them returned to the religion and went to see Lou Jingyu first to report.

Wen Hongling wanted to keep her report simple, consisting of only the church's internal businesses and some details of the audit.

"Master, everything is normal. The layout of the new production in the north has been stabilized. After the previous cleansing of the branch, most of them are working diligently. No major problems were found during the audit. I have corrected all the minor ones."

As she spoke, she showed Lou Jingyu the general ledger she had compiled, along with a bunch of letters that the heads of various departments asked her to bring to Lou Jingyu when she was inspecting the branches.

Lou Jingyu glanced at the thick stack of letters, which contained only some heartfelt words to him. He could read it later.

He took the account book and flipped through it, and it was indeed as she had said, so he focused on some new industries in the north.

"Yes, you did a great job. It just so happens that you have returned before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so you can have a good time at the church."

Wen Hongling naturally accepted the order and even asked for a reward for Ying Shi.

Lou Jingyu agreed, and he deserved a reward for his good work.

Then came Lian Jue, whose expression was completely opposite to Wen Hongling's.

Before he could say anything, he sighed.

"Master, the cooperation with Zhao Buchi that you ordered before has been settled. As for the whereabouts of Yao Mo, I found that he has traces in the capital, so I have been secretly investigating in the capital recently, but I still haven't caught him."

Lou Jingyu's eyes narrowed and his expression became serious.

In fact, it is not easy to find the trace of the Medicine Demon nowadays. It was within Lou Jingyu's expectation that he failed to catch him, but he just felt it was a bit of a pity.

"Before I returned, I had already sent people to continue tracking. I came back this time because His Royal Highness the King of Qin had a secret letter for you, saying that he had an unwelcome request to discuss with you. It had the King of Qin's seal on it, so I personally delivered it back."

Lou Jingyu raised his eyebrows.

People in the imperial court were always careful about this and that. Even letters had to be delivered by Lian Jue personally, for fear that they would be hijacked by others and used to do something.

As expected of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, he is a man who plans everything carefully and strives to make sure there are no mistakes.

But if this could really be achieved, why would there be such an unreasonable request now?

Lou Jingyu took the letter and asked, "What did he say?"

"Someone close to His Royal Highness Prince Qin was poisoned by a Gu. Zhao Buchi said he had mentioned this to you before. He heard that Chunhui had studied this, so he wanted to ask him to treat the person."

Lian Jue was just the messenger and only knew these things. The rest was in the letter.

Lou Jingyu read the letter. When Zhao Buchi mentioned it before, he was not so anxious, but now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin can't wait any longer.

The letter also invited him to go to the capital to discuss important matters.

It’s probably Ji’s family’s business.

Lou Jingyu thought for a moment, but did not make a decision for the time being. He just said he would discuss it later.
