The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 43 - Visiting

"These are the materials currently available in the satin warehouse, my lady. Please take a look."

Meticulous in her work and concise in her speech, Madam Fan's mannerisms made Madam Chang, who was talkative yet often missed the point, seem inferior by comparison.

Lin Wanyi carefully examined the materials and then smiled.

"Madam Fan, you are thorough in your work. Just send over the ones you have annotated."

"Yes, my lady."

With just a few words exchanged, the matter was settled.

Seeing this, Qiu Ming called in Xiao Luzi and Xiao Hezi and instructed them calmly.

"Follow the two madams back and bring everything here. Be careful not to dirty or lose anything, understood?"

"Yes, we obey!"

Madam Chang wanted to say more but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Since Madam Fan had already left, Madam Chang had no choice but to follow, feeling somewhat displeased as she thought she hadn't fully demonstrated her abilities.

Madam Fan, however, paid no mind to her thoughts and hurried back to prepare the materials.

Once everyone had left, the courtyard became quiet again.

Xia An brought over a cup of red date ginger tea to warm Lin Wanyi and then curiously asked.

"My lady, won't these threads be too few? I noticed that the ones Madam Fan sent last time are almost gone."

"Don't worry. Madam Fan understands my intentions. Since I didn't choose many threads from the embroidery workshop, she will prepare them for me. The threads that pass her inspection are certainly not inferior to those from the embroidery workshop."

The threads Lin Wanyi requested from the embroidery workshop were rare and hard to find.

For common threads, she preferred to get them from Madam Fan.

The satin warehouse also had a stock of threads, just not as many as the embroidery workshop, so people gradually forgot about it.

Last time, Madam Fan sent a large batch, and she would likely send more this time.

Sure enough, when Xiao Luzi returned, he brought over ten rolls of fabric and a tall stack of threads.

There weren't many colors, only about twenty or thirty.

But each one was exactly what Lin Wanyi wanted.

Indeed, being a disciple taught by her grandmother, Madam Fan's eye and mind were far superior to others.

It was a pity she was managing the satin warehouse.

"My lady, where should we put these things?"

"Xia An has already prepared a cabinet. Put them in there for now, and take them out when needed."

Xiao Luzi and Xiao Hezi filled the cabinet to the brim before stopping.

Fortunately, the cabinet was large enough; otherwise, it wouldn't have been enough to hold everything.

Xia An brought Lin Wanyi pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and she began sketching some patterns.

Having visited the Wen Gu Hall once, she had some creative ideas for making the emperor's clothes this time.

One moment she was drawing a design, the next she was adding notes.

When she was almost done, Qiu Ming walked in quickly.
