Chapter 33: You Fight, I Snatch
The scroll of the Ministry of War was suppressed for no other reason than the empty state of the treasury. The people of the Ministry of War thrown countless of cups. Rain of curses fell about the crafty official who would harm the country. They also said that Great Liang would sooner or later be ruined by these people of Department of Supervision.
However, what did these had to do with Lord Qiansui? At this moment our Jui Qiansui was standing in front of many chests and looked at the clothing material from the tribute of the south.
The people of the south were skillful and good at weaving and embroidery. The woven brocade was bright in color and the pattern was beautiful. The texture was also delicate like a cicada's wing. It could also keep warmth like jade. Wearing it would be like wearing another skin of oneself. There wouldn't be discomfort at all. It would be able to keep one warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
As for the patterns, they were even more beautiful. There were lifelike colorful butterflies and flowers. There were also gorgeous birds facing the phoenix and there were a pair of noble and majestic dragons made from pearls. There were many kinds. Lin Qing's face showed a satisfied smile.
The eunuch in charge stood by his side and said fawningly, "Lord Qiansui, these were presented by the people of Jiangnan a few days ago. They arrived not long ago. The Department of Internal Affairs hadn't checked them yet. Several consorts liked them. Do you want to select a few batches first?"
"Oh, it seemed that these clothes are truly not bad. Xiao Dezi, I also feel that they are pretty good. If the consorts want them, then send it first to them. However, you have to grasp it to be well within the norms. Just keep the account privately lest it would be bad if one day His Majesty wanted some materials he liked or he got some idea," Lin Qing said idly.
"This servant will keep this reminder," The eunuch in charge named Xiao Dezi said respectfully.
"I think that the chest of water-cloud satin is also very good," Lin Qing said casually.
Xiao Dezi's heart skipped a beat. His face was immediately full of smiles, "It's good that Lord Qiansui likes it. This servant would immediately send this water-cloud satin to Qiansui's residence."
Lin Qing swept once over him. Xiao Dezi's heart trembled and wondered whether he had guessed wrong. Aiya, Lord Qiansui rarely returns to his residence. How could he had thought about sending it there?! He might as well send it to the treasury of the Department of Supervision!
Unexpectedly, Lin Qing glanced at him faintly and said, "You are one who knows how to handle things."
Oh, Lord Qiansui smiled. Xiao Dezi felt very sweet in his heart. He didn't expect that it was what Lord Qiansui wanted!
Lin Qing leisurely walked out with a group of people. Only now did Xiao Dezi remember that Lord Qiansui had never bothered with these things, not to mention coming here in person. What happened today?
Lin Qing who was walking on the steps of the palace promenade looked at the flowers blooming outside of the promenade and asked Lin Jiu who was following him leisurely, "Little Jiu, all humans like beautiful things, right?"
Lin Jiu replied, "Godfather is right. Lin Jiu had never seen anyone who doesn't like beautiful things no matter if it was a man or a woman."
Lin Qing's eyes seemed to be a bit cold at this time, "Although beautiful things are liked, but they will eventually be spurned. People's hearts are fickle. How can we hold onto them forever?"
Lin Jiu didn't understand what he heard. Was godfather asking him? Or asking himself?
Lin Qing didn't think that he would get an answer from Lin Jiu and said, "Let the embroidery lady who specially make clothes for me at Qiansui's residence make a few sets of clothes with the water-cloud satin and sent it to Osmunda Yard, do you understand?" Osmunda Yard was Zhao Zimu's small courtyard.
