Chapter 700: Subverting Knowledge
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Binglan did not know how to comfort Luo Jin’an, so she hugged him. It seemed that was the only way to comfort him.
Luo Jin’an sensed her worry and hugged her back. He then stroked her hair and said, “I’m okay.”
Having Su Binglan beside him was already the greatest comfort to him. If not for her, his world would have been full of hatred. Although he was in Su Teng Village, he had always been aware of the news in the outside world.
Luo Jin’an had already set up a net and was waiting for revenge. He not only wanted revenge, but he also wanted to clear his familys name. He would not allow the Wei family army to bear the burden of a groundless crime.
Su Binglan leaned into his chest and could hear his robust heartbeat. She could also feel his emotions. At that moment, her eyes flashed with determination. She knew she had to help her husband.
The young couple was silent for a while before Su Binglan changed the topic, “Does the Shen family have many properties?”
Luo Jin’an’s voice would involuntarily soften whenever he faced Su Binglan. He said, “They have many businesses in the capital area. They also have many shops, like clothing, jewelry, grain, etcetera.”
Su Binglan became wide-eyed when she heard that. She had an idea, saying, “That’s a lot of businesses.’
Luo Jin’an could guess his wife’s thoughts. “Do you want to collaborate with your uncle?”
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an in surprise. “You guess my thoughts?”
She wondered how he had guessed it so accurately.
“Yeah, 1 did.” Luo Jin’an looked at her in amus.e.m.e.nt.
Su Binglan admitted, “l did consider that. Some of our enemies are still in the capital, right? We can earn money from doing business if we get more of our people there.
“On the other hand, they can help us gather information. They can be of use at critical times.’
She also planned to go to the capital because there were some grudges she had to settle on her own. Hers and Lan Ruozhu’s physical conditions were not poor since birth. Someone had deliberately framed her and poisoned her brother.
“I’ll support you in everything you do,” Luo Jin’an said gently. He planned to transfer a few of his subordinates to work under Su Binglan.
The following day, Shen Qiuhui had an excellent state of mind during breakfast. Shen Qiuhua asked, “How did you sleep last night, Qiuhui?”
Shen Qiuhui sighed, “No wonder Mohen didn’t want to come home, I slept and ate too well last night because the brick bed was nice and warm. Sister, why is the blanket so thin yet so warm?”
He had studied the blanket and pillow for a long time before sleeping. He felt warm and comfortable and even slept soundly.
The Shen family had started their businesses long ago. They also had a fabric shop, clothing shop, and bedding shop. Shen Qiuhui had seen many bedding products when inspecting his shops.
However, he had never seen a pillow and blanket like the ones the Su family had. He found it strange.
Without waiting for Shen Qiuhua to answer, Shen Mohen explained, “Dad, I know. Those are duvets and down pillows. They’re warm and comfortable, right?”
“Duvet?” Shen Qiuhui had never heard about such a thing. “Are they made with feathers or something?”
He had only heard of cotton blankets. A good-quality cotton blanket would be warmer and more comfortable to wear. The blanket’s quality depended on the cotton.
Shen Qiuhui had never heard of duvets. If there were such a thing, he would have known about it long ago. That was because such a blanket would do well in the market.
Shen Qiuhua looked at him and explained, “We used duck and goose feathers to make those duvets. I forgot to give you one yesterday. I’ll give you one later. Oh, we have sweaters, too. I set one aside for you.”
When Shen Mohen visited, Shen Qiuhua knew her step-brother would come sooner or later. Therefore, she prepared a down jacket, sweater, and a pair of sweatpants for him.
Shen Qiuhui felt touched. He did not expect Shen Qiuhua to prepare those things for him. However, he was in disbelief when he heard they had made the duvet with duck and goose feathers.
“Aren’t feathers useless? I didn’t know you could use them to make blankets and be light and warm.”
Shen Qiuhui was responsible for everything in the Shen family. As the family’s head, he had seen many things. Still, he was shocked at that moment. He felt these new things had subverted his previous understanding of bedding products.
Shen Mohen was not wearing a down jacket since he was indoors. Instead, he wore a sweater and sweatpants. He removed his sweater and showed it to Shen Qiuhui. “Dad, this is a sweater Aunt Quihua gave me. I have two sets with different styles to wear, but they’re both soft.”
Shen Qiuhui was stunned when he saw the sweater. He typically wore clothes made from fabric. Even if it was thick, it did not contain cotton or wool. However, the sweater was thick and warm to the touch.
He exclaimed, “If we sell these things in the capital, they’ll sell like hotcakes! We might even struggle to keep up with the demand!”
At that moment, he looked at the sweater like a bag of money. After all, many wealthy people lived in the capital. In particular, high-ranking officials and n.o.bles like novel things like these, not to mention the sweater could keep them warm during the winter.
Shen Qiuhui had never seen such clothes in the capital.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan had collaborated with many merchants, but not ones from the capital. That was because she wanted to keep a low profile in the past. She did not want to expose her ident.i.ty.
But there was no need to worry too much now because Lan Ruozhu had recovered. He now had the ability and strength to fight against the Imperial Court. Besides, Su Binglan had planned to visit the capital to take revenge.
Therefore, she wanted to sell her products and open a factory in the capital to earn money there.
Shen Qiuhui considered selling these duvets in the capital. However, he said nothing about his ideas because they belonged to his step-sister. His heart was in turmoil.
‘This place completely differs from the Su Teng Village I had imagined. They have things here that aren’t even available in the capital.’
After breakfast, Shen Qiuhua pa.s.sed the sweater, sweatpants, and down jacket she had prepared to her step-brother. They were just the right size, making him feel warm and fuzzy.
‘This sweater can even warm my heart.’
“Thank you, Sister.” Shen Qiuhui smiled happily, just like when he was young. He never had nice clothes to wear during childhood, yet Shen Qiuhua always prepared clothes for him.
During winter that year, he wore the clothes his step-sister had prepared for him so he did not catch a cold..
