When Mrs. Chang heard the first sentence, she was still a little unhappy, but as soon as the second sentence came out, she immediately let go of her hand with a smile on her face, and the black shadow finally seized the opportunity to leave.

Mrs. Chang looked at it happily for a few seconds, and then her joyful expression was tinged with confusion. "This... isn't right. Who would give such a large amount as a betrothal gift?"

"If the court is short of winter clothes, we can't just give them silver, why do we have to ask for ready-made clothes?"

"It's not an easy job to buy cotton cloth and cotton and make winter clothes. Why bother with that?"

Mrs. Chang's question got to the point, and Master Chang seemed to understand. "Huai Jin has his reasons for asking this, so let's not worry about it and just do it."

"Come here, send someone down the mountain to buy some immediately. Remember, use good quality cotton. It doesn't matter if it looks good or not, but it must be warm enough. Three hundred thousand frontier soldiers need two winter coats each."

Master Chang was silent for a while, and finally wiped his beard, "Well, first make 300,000 winter clothes, and transport them to the border along with 2,000 carts of food."

"The remaining 300,000 winter clothes will be shipped in the second batch."

"Oh, and get some more medicine for injuries and herbs for treating colds, and send them along with the second batch!"

The housekeeper at the side listened and took notes, and after Master Chang finished speaking, he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Master, although our villa can barely afford these, I am afraid it will hurt the foundation."

"If the Second House takes advantage of this opportunity to attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist..."

Master Chang was silent for a moment, his beard almost turned into a pigtail, and then he laughed, "Who said that we have to pay for it ourselves?"

"Madam, although these are the only things on Huaijin's gift list, our future daughter-in-law is at least the eldest princess, with a noble status and has been spoiled since childhood."

"We can't let this person down when it comes to marriage."

Mrs. Chang was still holding the gift list, wondering what she was thinking. Her expression was sometimes cheerful, and sometimes worried. It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She nodded dazedly, "Yes."

"That's right, of course we can't treat them unfairly."

"My dear husband, how about this? Sheng Country has the custom of returning to one's parents' home. We don't want to trouble the two children to go back and forth. We will go to Kyoto for our wedding. After my daughter-in-law's return gift is over, we will come back together!"

"By the way, please invite a few old guys out to have a drink at the wedding!"

Seeing the calculating light in Mrs. Chang's eyes, Master Chang knew that the couple had the same idea, so he immediately packed his bags and set off for Kyoto with his servants without wasting a moment.

Of course, Lin Chunhuan didn't know that the Chang couple would act so quickly, and she was still leisurely sulking with Chang Huaijin.

Of course, the engagement cannot be done in the name of the former Flying Eagle.

After all, in terms of reputation, Feiying was her lover, which was not a good thing, so she asked Feiying to pretend that he had just arrived in Beijing, and to make a marriage contract with the royal princess as the young master of Cangjian Villa.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already prepared all the necessary items for the princess' wedding, and although the time was set hastily, all the necessary items were included.

Just after the New Year, the princess's mansion began to prepare busily.

"Princess, what style of red silk should be hung outside? Please get up and choose. We still have several boxes of clothes to try on."

"Time is short and the task is heavy. You'd better get up quickly."

Caiyun was so busy that she had no time to rest. Even though it was still winter, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. The wind and snow outside were blowing fiercely. When the door was opened, it seemed as if it would blow away all the heat in the body.

Lin Chunhuan huddled on the soft couch and shivered, "Close the door, close the door, close the door quickly!"

Looking at the two wedding dresses Caiyun brought over, Lin Chunhuan glanced at them perfunctorily and said, "Whatever, they are all similar anyway."

"Besides, the wedding will not be held in Kyoto. We are just going through the formalities of getting married here. We won't be wearing it for long. When we get there, the Chang family should have prepared new dresses for us."

"How can you be so casual!"

Caiyun widened her eyes and squatted beside the couch holding two wedding dresses. "Princess, you haven't had enough rest recently. You look listless."

"If you are worried about the Chang family's credit, there is no need to worry. General Qin has sent someone to deliver the first batch of winter clothes and food from the Chang family, which has arrived in part, 800 miles away."

"There's a second batch of winter clothes and medicinal herbs coming up."

When this was mentioned, Lin Chunhuan perked up a little, "You mean, the Chang family didn't give money directly, but made the winter clothes and sent them directly to the border?"

"Yes, because of this, several ministers in the court had a big dispute. I really don't understand why there are always people finding fault with this obviously a good thing."

Lin Chunhuan sneered when he heard this, and then collapsed as if he had no strength left. "What else could it be? From purchasing to making clothes, and then to shipping, there is a lot of money to be made."

"It always affects the interests of certain people."

Lin Chunhuan said this very easily, without any heaviness in his voice.

There are corrupt officials in the court, and this is something that cannot be stopped. Once one is dealt with, the next one will pop up, the only difference is how much corrupt they are.

However, whether it is for the court or for the people, it doesn’t matter whether he is a corrupt official or not. As long as he can get practical things done, he can be a useful person even if he is corrupt.

Throwing aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Lin Chunhuan waved his hand and said, "Bring up the freshly cooked sweet soup. It's freezing cold, let everyone have a bowl."

The soup that had just come out of the pot was still emitting steam. Lin Chunhuan stared at the book in his hand, took it without even looking at it, and put it in his mouth.

However, before the sweet soup entered his stomach, an uncontrollable feeling of nausea came over him.

As soon as he turned around, he vomited all over the place, scaring everyone around him. Some patted his back, some brought him water, and some who were alert turned around to call the court doctor.

It took a long while for me to feel a little better, but when I saw the sweet soup on the table, my stomach started churning uncontrollably again. "What's in this soup? Why does it taste so weird?"

Caiyun was so anxious that her eyes turned red.

Upon hearing this, she immediately picked up the sweet soup and tasted it. After smacking it for a long time, she looked at her master with doubts, "Princess, this sweet soup is delicious."

"It tastes the same as the one you usually like to drink. I just tasted it and there is nothing strange added to it. It is all what I am used to drinking."

Now it was Lin Chunhuan's turn to be stunned.

Even now, whenever she thought of the taste of that sweet soup, her stomach would still churn and she could not help wanting to vomit. How could that sweet soup be okay?
