She turned to Guo Daquan and Guo Dayou.

"Brother!"

She only screamed.

Guo Daquan and Guo Dayou understood what she meant.

The two brothers looked at each other and hesitated.

Shen Yisan saw it clearly from the side, his eyes flashed, and he immediately took out a small sign that looked like gold and non-gold, wood and non-wood from his clothes, and said with a smile: "It's still Young Master Wei's good idea, and it's easy to do things for a kind of token." Miss Guo, this is given to you by Uncle Shen. ”

Leaned closer to her, stuffed the sign directly into her hand, and whispered, "But you have to take it." This stuff is important. "But he didn't say it was of any use.

Guo Daquan smiled at Qing at this time: "Since Uncle Shen and Young Master Wei are gracious, you can take it, little sister." Miss Yan, don't you want to help? Young Master Han also said it. It's all because everyone cares, and I'm grateful to us for helping us to do this. Let's know what's going on. ”

As soon as he explained this, it became everyone's sincerity, not just Wei Zhao. And Master Shen also gave one thing in person, whether Wei Zhao's jade pendant is the Wei family's emblem or not, it can only be used as an emblem.

Only then did Qing Mu take the jade pendant and say to the two of them separately: "Thank you, Uncle Shen!" Thank you, Young Master Wei! ”

Han Xiyi was stunned because he had no tokens to send.

Although the jade pendant he carried on his body was good, it did not have the function of mobilizing the Han family's human resources and property.

He looked at Wei Zhao suspiciously—he specially rushed to send Guo Qingmu this?

Wei Zhao didn't look out of the ordinary, he only hugged his fist at the dumb and said, "Girl, take care!" ”

His eyes were fixed on her, as if he meant something.

Han Xiyi thought: "It's to persuade her not to be sad for Jiang Minghui anymore." Wei Zhao ......"

Qing Du nodded to Wei Zhao, and smiled at Yan Weiyang and the others, then turned around and helped Wu to get on the boat.

On the other side, Fang Chu also rushed to Jingjiang Wharf on a homely boat.

The Fang family's big ship is moored here.

Because it was early in the morning and the weather was cool, people who came and went took advantage of this time to set off, and the dock was bustling with people who were sent to us. He saw the group at a glance, and he saw the figure on the boat.

He had no heart palpitations for no reason, and he didn't come over to say hello.

If it weren't for the grievances between the two sides, they could have walked together.

Now, I can't let her see him, seeing him will ruin her mood to return home.

He got on his big ship, and the sailors immediately set sail.

Downstream, to the afternoon to the town of Wuyou.

"The eldest young master is back! Young Master, why did you come back when you were so busy? ”

Yuan'er was overjoyed and very puzzled, and asked him while calling someone to serve Fang Chu to freshen up, serve tea and fruit, and prepare lunch.

Fang Chu said: "There are some things to explain to you. And came back. ”

Yuan'er was surprised: "The eldest young master has something to call the little one to go over, how can he come back in person!" ”

Fang Chu said: "Don't ask! Wash it first. ”

Yuan'er was busy with her mouth, and the maid was busy.

After Fang Chu finished freshening up and changing clothes, and ate some more things, he went to the study, sent everyone back, left Yuan'er alone, took out a bamboo silk painting sketch, and explained to him like this.

Yuan'er listened attentively and couldn't stop nodding.

"Remember, it's all up to you. If you want money, just go and get it, and the dignitaries will tell me. There is no need to be in a hurry, you have to pay a careful visit, find the craftsman with good craftsmanship, loyalty, and poor family, and buy it with ideas and sign the death deed. When people gather, there is no need to rush the goods, but to teach them to learn to weave bamboo silk paintings by heart. Before you learn it, you are not allowed to sell it on the market. ”

Fang Chu explained carefully, and his tone was very cautious.

Yuan'er hurriedly said: "Then the eldest young master has a limit, when will this business open?" ”

Fang Chu was silent, as if calculating.

He was so engrossed that his eyes were foggy.

After a while, he said softly: "You don't have to worry about this." You just have to buy people, buy land, plant bamboo, teach them crafts, build a garden, and support this stall. When the time comes, I will naturally sue you. ”

Yuan'er should again "Yes." ”

Fang Chu admonished again: "Don't be public, and the family doesn't have to say much." ”

Yuan'er was even more strange, and didn't dare to ask, but said, "Yes!" ”

After Fang Chu finished explaining, he couldn't let it go, so he discussed with him where to build the garden.

After thinking about it, he finally decided that he couldn't be too far away from the Fang family's old mansion.

When the Fang family originally purchased industries here, they also purchased many acres of land and several Zhuangzi. After Fang Chu took over the housework, he managed it properly and expanded a lot. Among them was a manor, which he had personally selected, and there were many bamboos on the side of the mountain. Calculated carefully, it is still the same mountain range as the Jiang family. The Maozhuwu where the Jiang family lives is in the east, and the Fang family manor is in the west, which is hundreds of miles apart.

After the address was chosen, the master and servant deliberated and finalized the other details one by one.

This is Fang Chu's fear that Yuan'er is inexperienced, and he is afraid that there will be omissions, so he will ask about everything.

The artwork he handed over to Yuan'er was not any of the ten drawings, but an ordinary drawing made by Fang Jiayi after seeing one of them, specially for beginners to practice their craft.

He was so busy until the evening when he was holding the lamp, and he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little lighter.

After the meal, because I felt a little lonely in my heart, I remembered the sound of the piano I heard on the river in the past, so I took Yuan'er on the boat and floated to the lower reaches of the Jingjiang River.

Besides, the Guo family, when they arrived at Green Bay Village in the evening, everyone had different thoughts.

The Wu family and the Guo brothers naturally felt ashamed, they were excited when they thought of the business they were about to start, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they thought of revenge; And looking at the familiar scenery of the water town, it was like a world away, and it was relaxed!

Several cargo ships are moored at the Green Bay Dam Wharf, transporting timber and bricks.

and many small boats, which sold cotton.

People come and go between the wharf and the Guo family compound, and there are endless vehicles transporting bricks, wood, stones, and mud.

Guo Shouye exchanged ten acres of fertile land with Zhu Shun and several other families who lived in the west, and exchanged their houses and yards. After opening up, and then using the courtyard wall like this, the Guo family's compound will be expanded by one and a half times.

Now the west side of the compound starts from the eight tiled houses, including the new part is zoned for workshops. A fence was built in the courtyard to separate the workshop independently, so as not to affect the daily life of the Guo family and also affect production.

More houses are being built in the West Square, and the men on the construction site are sweating like rain.

The additions and expansions are as follows:

The first is to build two similar workshops behind the original eight large tiled houses. A workshop is a weaving room, according to the Guo family's pre-planned design, each room is placed in 20 looms, a row of rooms can be placed 160 units. A total of 320 looms can be installed. The other way is the spinning workshop.

The second is where the weavers live.

The Guo family and his son decided to try the business first, so it was initially decided that only 400 weavers would be recruited, and 200 people would be rotated to weave cloth, that is, only 200 looms would be used for the time being; The total number of spinners and cottonseed spinners was three hundred, for a total of seven hundred.

After a qiē stable dìng down, it will be increased and adjusted according to the specific business situation.

The weavers' quarters were designed according to the dormitories of the previous life: each house was divided into two rows, with a passage in the middle; Each row is further divided into ten rooms; Each room has five beds, bunk beds, and ten people. A row of rooms is twenty rooms. Four dormitories were built according to the standard of 800 people.

This is only for female workers, and the dyeing workshop uses male labor.

The male hired did his best to hire from the neighborhood, and he did not live in Guo's house when he left early and returned late.

As for the beds, tables and chairs and other utensils in the room, they really can't take care of it, so they are scattered and handed over to the carpenters in Wuyou Town to take care of, and the delivery will be made when the time comes.

The third place is to build a dyeing workshop on the east side of the main house of the Guo family.

Dyeing has to hire men, so it is specially separated from Xifang, which is also a prudent meaning.

Finally, dozens of looms and spinning wheels will be added. Carpenters must be hired to work day and night, and they will make the ordinary parts, and then Guo Dayou will install the special ones.

In addition, in front of the previously built workshop, many peasant women and girls are queuing up to recruit female textile workers; There are also people who come to sell cotton, ask about the purchase price of cotton, and so on, which is very lively and noisy.

Guo Shouye had some scheming in his chest, and he had prepared for some things before, but he didn't know what the result of going to the brocade conference would be, so he didn't dare to act rashly. After signing the contract with the Nine Great Jin Merchants, he knew it in his heart and immediately rushed back in advance to make arrangements.

He found all the people who knew and trusted his relatives and friends, including Guo Lizheng of Luwan Village, other clansmen of the Guo family, as well as the Wu family's mother-in-law brothers, the dumb uncles, and the families of the two daughters-in-law.

I was busy this day, and I heard Guo Qin call him, saying that grandma and they were back.

He hurriedly left what he was doing with Guo Dagui and hurried to the main house.

In the main room, Guo Qin Sanxiao was looking excitedly at the table full of good things.

Cai Shi scolded on the side: "Don't tear down a lot!" Again, "Don't break it!" "Wait.

Guo Shouye first looked at Qingdu, and saw that although she had lost a lot of weight, she was quiet as usual, so he let go of half of his heart; Then, he looked at the old woman, son, and daughter-in-law, and his face was fine, so he was completely relieved.

Guo Dagui saw that he was dumb and only shouted, "Little sister!" Then his eyes were red.

He hated Jiang Minghui to death in his heart, and swore that he would not let go of the Jiang family if he had the opportunity!

Guo Dayou signaled him not to mention the stubble that made the little sister sad, so he couldn't help but keep quiet.

So they sat down and exchanged news from the city and home.

After listening to the general situation, Guo Shouye nodded and said, "It's okay." In the city, the boss still went to Zhang Luo and took your fourth uncle and Dagui over to help. I also asked his second uncle and uncle to help. The first time we do this, we have to be cautious and careful in everything. ”

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Guo Shouye glanced at the dumb and shouted to the outside: "Yang Anping's family, call the younger sister." ”

The outside promised a while, and after a while, the peasant woman who came to the Guo family to sell her daughter on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve took a little girl into the hall, which was the daughter-in-law of Yang Anping, a tenant of the Guo family, and the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.

Guo Shouye said to Qing Mu: "The Yang family asked the younger sister to serve you." Dad thinks that you have a lot of things, and you also need to add someone by your side. In the future, our family will be busy, and your mother and sister-in-law and I will be busy and can't take care of you, so if you have anything, you can ask my sister to do it. I've bought it, and she's been with you ever since. ”

He took care of it as soon as he returned.

Because he saw that Xie Yinyue and Yan Weiyang had maids around them, and his daughter was Shaodong of the Guo family, of course, there should be a maid to serve him.

He promised Yang Anping a bright future, and even his youngest son Fuzi bought it together.

Now, Yang Anping and another tenant, Zhu Shun, have been arranged by him.

The younger sister stepped forward timidly and looked at Qing Qing for a while before she called out, "Miss." ”

The sound is thin, not much louder than that of a mosquito.

Seeing that she still hadn't escaped the fate of being sold, she didn't know what to say.

Thinking of what he experienced in the city, the Guo family is still like this, not to mention the Yang family.

Because he said to her mother and daughter, "Do it well, and I will give you back your freedom in the future." ”

The Guo family is now going to employ people, and she is a favor.

Yang Anping's family was overjoyed to hear it.

When these words came out of her dumb mouth, she believed them extraordinarily.

At that moment, she swore to Guo Shouye and others, saying that the Yang family would loyally help the Guo family.

Guo Shouye nodded and said, "This person, if his life is not good, there is no way; If luck comes and you don't catch it, then you can't complain. Your family goes to settle accounts with the man himself: Now when my Guo family is employing people, you help with your heart, and we will not treat you badly in the future; If you are reluctant to contribute now, and you are afraid of taking on things, and you are coaxed by someone to sell my Guo family in three sentences, you will not be scolded and not said, and you can't blame your life for losing your wealth. ”

Yang Anping's family nodded again and again, saying that she knew what she knew.

After saying a few more words, she retreated, leaving her sister dumb with her.

Wu was afraid of being dumb and tired, and knew that she didn't like a lot of people, so he urged her to go upstairs to rest, saying that they had family affairs, and they would go to sue her when they had discussed it; At the same time, he shouted that Cai's and Ruan's little sister would do it together, classify the things they brought back, send the books and everything to the dumb room upstairs, and move the others into her room.

The dumb took the little sister upstairs.

Guo Qin, Guo Jian, and Guo Qiao also followed.

They already knew that the second uncle, Jiang Minghui, had been robbed again, and before the third uncle arrived, they had to deal with the elders in the family, especially the sister-in-law.

So, they're all very well-behaved today.

Qiao'er has been holding the dumb hand and never abandoned.

Qingmu took a big, three, and four babies upstairs, very calmly.

When they got upstairs, I arranged for them to sit down, picked up some of the snacks and food they had brought back from the city, and put them on the table, teaching them how to read and write, and answering their strange questions.

If the Guo family wants to grow, it is not okay to be blind.

The education of the next generation is imminent.

So, she taught them with all her heart.

In addition to teaching them to read and write, she also drew simple drawings, taught Guo Qiao to recognize and familiarize, and showed her the comparison of real objects such as flower cloth and brocade.

Xu is a girl has a natural interest in needlefish, and Qiao'er quickly fell in love with it.

The little ones are the purest. Qingbei looked at a few of them, his mood brightened, he liked it very much, and couldn't help but kiss Qiao'er on the face and smile.

Qiao'er was also kissed by her and smiled, and kissed her again.

When Guo Jian saw it, he hurriedly came over, "I want to kiss too!" ”

Seeing that there were still stains on his face, Qing Du couldn't help laughing, and first asked the little sister to twist a hand towel to help him wipe it clean, and then kissed him.

Guo Jian also happily kissed his aunt, and actually kissed her on the lips.

Guo Qin was older, embarrassed to be coquettish, and looked at his younger siblings jealously. R1152
