The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 187 - 187 187 Ambition (2)_1

?Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Ambition (2)_1 Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Ambition (2)_1 Guo Zhongkui feared that Lin Ziyin and Lin Changshu would be upset. The Guo Family had already received plenty of silver from the Lin Family these past few days and if they were to receive more, the Guo Family would appear to be too greedy.

However, Lin Ziyin and Lin Changshu watched on with smiling faces, showing no signs of discontent. Amidst the struggle, Guo Huiniang grew irritated; ultimately, it was Mrs. He who collected the silver.

Once Lin Ziyin had hoisted Yanzhi into the carriage, Lin Changshu and Guo Huiniang took their places as well, leaving the Guo Family Village amidst the reluctant gazes of the Guo Family members.

By the time they returned home, the sky was painted with shadows of darkness. Their household was bustling with activity.

Guo Huiniang quickly washed her hands and joined the Mooncake-making process.

In the following days, the mooncake business fared surprisingly well, not only appealing to many pilgrims but also attracting large orders from prominent households in Feng City. The Lin Family was occupied with the constant flurry of activity. As candlelight filled their nights, servants and workers were rostered in shifts to meet the demand.

“Miss Lin, the oiled cloth has arrived, please have a look.” The oiled cloth, due after the festival, unexpextedly arrived before it.

Lin Ziyin hurriedly followed Hei Yi to the courtyard to inspect it.

Truth be told, the quality of the oiled cloth far surpassed Lin Ziyin’s expectations. It was not only transparent and waterproof, but also sturdy – a suitable fabric for making umbrellas.

“Just like this.” Lin Ziyin exclaimed with joy.

“As long as it suits your needs, Miss. These are the parts that you requested.” Hei Yi pointed to three large boxes.

Lin Ziyin approached with a puzzled look, she did not recall asking Chu Suifeng for any parts. However, now that they were delivered, she deemed it best to inspect them thoroughly.

Upon opening the boxes, the unique shimmer of metal radiated under the sunlight.

At first glance, Lin Ziyin’s elation was palpable: the boxes contained the bicycle parts she had been longing for.

“Prince said if you need anything else, feel free to let me know. I will ensure your request is wholly conveyed to the prince,” Hei Yi politely stated.

“Thank you, Manager Hei.” Lin Ziyin beamed as she expressed her gratitude.

“There’s also another box over there; it’s a festival gift specially from Prince.” Hei Yi came bearing another piece of surprising news.

Was something wrong with Chu Suifeng? More than bring her joy, the arrival of his festival gift had given her quite the scare. Now, hearing Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan’s names made her apprehensive.

A received gift required evaluation.

Even though Lin Ziyin was far from pleased, she dared not let her dissatisfaction show.

Upon checking the box, she was genuinely taken aback. Chu Suifeng’s gift included an array of items such as food, drink, and also material such as fabric and tea leaves.

She guessed, Chu Suifeng, after being subjected to the Lin Family’s plain water on his previous visits, was probably trying to avoid that.

“Please wait a moment,” Lin Ziyin replied with a bitter laugh, “We don’t really have much at home. However, we did make some pastries for the festival. Could you please deliver these to the Prince?” She then asked Qiaoqiao to fetch twenty boxes of mooncakes from the kitchen and assorted biscuits, specifically for Manager Hei. Naturally, she had not forgotten the share for Hei Yi and Hei Er.

“Thank you, Miss. The prince says, the shares of the Vegetarian Feast are already the greatest gift you could give him,” Hei Yi replied with a grin; he longed to tell Lin Ziyin that regardless of what she sent over, the prince would always be grateful for the one time she had drawn the slingshot blueprint for him.

Lin Ziyin exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, then personally saw him out of the Lin Family courtyard.
