As soon as Xiao Jiuqi and the others left, Fu Yuanling also got into the carriage and went directly to the western suburbs.

Zhongchun followed with Midsummer, and Mama You took Zhongqiu and a few pear blossoms to stay, if you really go to the summer palace, you have to start preparing in advance, and many things are made in advance.

The clothes and diapers that the little masters change on the road must not be missing, only these will take a few days, not to mention the princess and princess, You Mama instantly felt that the time was too tight.

When Fu Yuanling rode to Xicheng in a horse-drawn carriage, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the merchants always got up earlier.

Passing by Fu's house, Fu Yuanling stopped the car and went in to take a look, Dou's mother was no longer here, and she found another mother-in-law to take care of the affairs of the house.

Seeing that the princess was coming, he immediately came to ask for peace, Fu Yuanling asked a few words casually, but the mother-in-law answered decently, and finally mentioned the matter of the Qiao family in front of her.

Fu Yuanling was about to walk, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with the Qiao family?" ”

"The eldest girl doesn't know, Mrs. Wei is sick with anger, and Young Master Qiao is clamoring to reconcile."

Fu Yuanling was stunned, no wonder he hadn't seen Qiao Anyi go to the Shangmeng much recently, it turned out that he was uneasy in the house.

Just thinking of Zhao Yunniang, she also felt a headache, of course she couldn't take care of other people's affairs, but she just thought of Mrs. Wei and Qiao Anyi, so she looked at the mother-in-law and asked more, "Do you know why?" ”

"Mrs. Wei gave Master Qiao a concubine room, and the concubine room was pregnant and had a miscarriage, saying that it was Grandma Qiao's hand, which caused trouble."

Fu Yuanling's face was slightly gloomy, he looked at the woman and said: "Don't spread these things in the future, don't inquire about the things ahead, if Mrs. Wei comes to find you something, do what you can." ”

"Yes, slave remembers."

Fu Yuanling got into the carriage and continued to walk to the western suburbs with a heavy heart, she didn't know about Qiao Anyi's concubine, and she didn't know that there was a pregnancy and miscarriage in this concubine's room.

Because Zhao Yunniang and the two of them have to keep a distance, they can't help but be a little rusty, I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past few months.

Zhao Yunniang is not a short-sighted person in her memory, she really didn't expect that her life could be like this.

When I arrived in the western suburbs, I put down what I was thinking about and began to deal with the affairs of the western suburbs.

Today's western suburbs are different from the New Year, rows of water rows are built, and next to the water rows are neat and elegant workshops.

Fu Yuanling, the new workshop on the side of the brocade workshop, did not plan to lease all of it out, but left a part for the Fu family and some merchants of the business alliance for their own use.

With the smelting workshop on the right track, the source of ore is stable, the will issued by the imperial court, because it is Xiao Jiuqi's manager, it is difficult to delay the time, etc., the major smelting workshops are really non-stop, the smelting furnace is not extinguished, and everything has entered a normal state.

The officials stationed at the Imperial Court on the side of the smelting workshop acted according to the rules, but they did not embarrass the workshop and the merchant alliance, and everyone got along amicably.

Fu Yuanling inspected the accounts once a month as usual, and at other times, he rarely interfered in the affairs of the smelting workshop, and the two were fine.

It's just that now with the expansion of more and more workshops on the side of the brocade workshop, the smelting workshop is a little unable to sit still, and the steward is sent to inquire about the expansion.

Fu Yuanling saw the steward who came to pass the word, it was Guan Huayang sent by the Fu family, and when he saw him, Fu Yuanling said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”

Guan Huayang smiled and saluted, and then said: "I probably think that my subordinates are the stewards of the Fu family, and it is easier to come and talk." ”

Fu Yuanling chuckled, "For the expansion, you let Lord Sun of the smelting workshop go to the imperial court first, and wait for His Majesty's approval before coming to me, which is in line with the regulations." After all, the smelting workshop is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and we, the merchants, are just distributing dividends with silver, and we don't dare to be in charge. ”

Guan Huayang said: "Master Sun said, now you have the final say in the entire western suburbs workshop, so I will ask you about this matter first." ”

"That's different, although the western suburbs workshop has been under my orders for the past ten years, but the deed between the smelting workshop and the imperial court still works, so it's useless to look for me in this matter, I also have to listen to Your Majesty, you just go back to Lord Sun like this." Fu Yuanling said.

Guan Huayang nodded, "I'll listen to the eldest girl, so I'll go back and talk to Master Sun." ”

Fu Yuanling looked at Guan Huayang and asked, "How is it in the smelting workshop?" ”

Guan Huayang hurriedly said: "Except for the fact that Master Sun didn't let us get involved in the workshop too much, other things went well. ”

Dealing with the officials of the imperial court is the most important thing to hone the mind, Fu Yuanling put Guan Huayang in the smelting workshop and also has the intention of tempering, if he can learn well, he will be his right-hand man in the future.

"You have to study hard, if you don't understand something, ask Qi Da Steward, and in a few years, go out to practice." Fu Yuanling said.

Guan Huayang was excited when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show excitement on his face too lightly, and only said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, big girl, your subordinates must learn from the chief steward." ”

"Then you go." Fu Yuanling said with a smile.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Guan Huayang saluted and withdrew.

Standing outside, Guan Huayang looked at the craftsmen who kept shuttling back and forth in the western suburbs, and looked at the workshops rising from the ground, and heard that Tanglin would send a large number of people to come to learn the craft and settle down in the western suburbs, so that the gap of craftsmen would be equaled as quickly as possible.

In a few months' time, the western suburbs will have a different new look.

At that time, their eldest girl stood on the shoulders of this western suburb, and she would also become the one that everyone looked up to.

Guan Huayang's father is the steward of the Fu family, but it is a pity that his father's ability is mediocre, and he has only been a small steward in his life, until his son inherited his father's business and entered the Fu family as a steward, because he was smart and clever step by step in front of people, and was finally selected to be sent to Beijing to study, and now he has entered the western suburbs, I don't know how many people envy him.

Even he himself felt that he was so lucky to be able to enter the Fu family, and to meet people like the eldest girl and the big steward Qi who knew how to make good use of people.

Guan Huayang took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the smelting workshop, thinking about how to talk to Master Sun when he saw him.

Sun Jiancheng is not a good person to deal with, and he can't say that he is not easy to deal with, but he still needs to pay attention when talking to him, after all, court officials have always had a big shelf.

Although Sun Jiancheng is not a fart in front of King Jin, he is still very majestic in front of them.

Because Guan Huayang is the steward of the Fu family, he is more decent than the stewards of other families in front of Master Sun, but there are only some.
