Fu Xiaojiu was not in a hurry, and said to Xu Yuanwai: "Brother Xu, I'll take you to that cloth village first, I don't know if that shop can get into your eyes?" ”

"We believe in Fulangzhong's vision, it's just a cloth village, we don't need to look at it for the time being. But the workshop is a cooperation between the two of us, and since we have joined the company, we can't hold you back, so let's go to the workshop as soon as possible and discuss the cooperation. ”

Xu Yuanwai's attitude was very sincere, and Fu Xiaojiu knew that he was a practical person, so he took them to the workshop.

Fu Xiaojiu said as he walked: "My in-laws have been cleaning up the workshop these days, although it can't be said to be brand new, but the room and courtyard have been almost cleaned. ”

Xu Yuanwai thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Fulangzhong has worked hard. ”

Mrs. Xu also said gratefully: "Sister, we are not familiar with the capital, you are in charge of everything, we will do whatever you let us do." ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled at the two of them and said modestly: "Although you are not familiar with the capital, you are familiar with the way of doing business. If our workshop wants to become bigger and stronger, we have to rely on you. ”

After a few people arrived at the workshop, Xu Yuanwai and Mrs. Xu first met Mrs. Wan and Old Man Wan, and then looked inside and out, Xu Yuanwai said: "I have worked hard for Mrs. Wan and Master Wan in the past few days, so I will go back and call the servants at home and let them clean up here." ”

Wan Pozi hurriedly said: "No, no, it's almost cleaned up here." Then it's up to you how you plan this place, and then you'll just clean it up. ”

Fu Xiaojiu took the opportunity to say to Xu Yuanwai and Mrs. Xu: "Then let me tell you about my idea of the workshop first." If you have any suggestions, please feel free to put them forward, and we will discuss them together. ”

The two nodded and listened carefully to Fu Xiaojiu's words.

Now there is a hall and two bedrooms in the workshop, the stove room is very dilapidated, and the door of the barn has been replaced.

Fu Xiaojiu planned to set aside a slightly larger bedroom as a dormitory for his fellows, and then open up the remaining hall and bedroom to make a large flow workshop.

The stove room had to be repaired and expanded, and the stove room and the canteen were separated, so that the guys had a place to eat.

The warehouse still needs to be expanded a little to store more medicinal herbs and other things.

The yard is covered with a layer of bricks so that there is no dust, which is convenient for drying herbs.

The original thatched house was very simple, and Fu Xiaojiu decided to renovate the thatched house to ensure cleanliness.

The number of men is tentatively set at 10 men and 10 women, and for their safety and convenience, the men can be provided with accommodation, and the women go back to their homes after work.

Fu Xiaojiu finished talking about her general plan, Xu Yuanwai and Mrs. Xu pondered for a moment after hearing it, and Xu Yuanwai said: "Fu Langzhong, we all think what you said is good, you just need to say how much money you need from our family now, and we will listen to your arrangement." ”

Fu Xiaojiu only then saw what it means to be "wealthy".

However, Fu Xiaojiu knew that the Xu couple were not stupid and had a lot of money, and it was her plan that was quite reliable, so they trusted her so much.

Fu Xiaojiu replied: "I have already roughly calculated, the silver for working capital, labor, purchases, and the purchase of various things will cost about six hundred taels of silver." ”

After hearing this, Xu Yuanwai said happily: "Six hundred taels is no problem. I'll give you a silver ticket. ”

"Wait!" Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly waved his hand, "I still have some silver in my hand, and your family will be able to give three hundred taels of silver first." ”

Mrs. Xu said at this time: "You still bought this house, this is two hundred taels of silver, the second elder has been busy for so many days, why do we only give out such a little silver?" You listen to your eldest brother Xu, our family will give out the six hundred taels first. ”

Xu Yuanwai continued: "Although our family has a lot of silver, this workshop is still in charge of the rich man. ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you for your trust in me, with a partner like your husband and wife, our workshop will definitely be prosperous!" ”

Xu Yuanwai and Mrs. Xu went back with the children first, Xu Yuanwai wanted to bring the servants over, Fu Xiaojiu had already written a notice for recruitment, and asked Wan Pozi and Wan Laotou to post it, and she went to find a craftsman to transform the workshop today.

Fu Xiaojiu handed over the work supervision to Xu Yuan, and she went to the medicinal herb market to prepare for the supply.

Fu Xiaojiu was busy until the time when the medical hall was about to close, and then returned to the medical hall.

Today, many children who want to be apprentices to Fu Xiaojiu were brought by their parents, Xue Chengwen registered them, and Fu Xiaojiu saw a few when he came back.

Xue Chengwen asked how Fu Xiaojiu's workshop was going, and Fu Xiaojiu took him directly to the workshop.

Fu Xiaojiu took Xue Chengwen to stay in the workshop for a while, and after a brief visit, she asked Xu Yuanwai to go home and let him settle down at home first, and the workshop was not in a hurry.

When Fu Xiaojiu and Xue Chengwen arrived home, Shen'er had already finished eating and was practicing calligraphy, and Wan Pozi and Old Man Wan were still waiting for them, and the meal was heated again.

"Why hasn't the third child come back yet?" Wan Pozi looked at the door and asked worriedly.

Fu Xiaojiu said calmly: "Xianggong has been busy with official business recently, and he will come back later, so don't worry about it." ”

Wan Pozi could only nod helplessly, "Okay, who made him the one who worked hard for the imperial court?" Xiao Jiu, you've been very busy lately, but you have to pay attention to your body, don't get tired. ”

"Don't worry, mother, I know it." Fu Xiaojiu said, and his eyes fell on Zai Shen'er.

She understands how important it is for her children to be accompanied by their parents, and she tells herself that she will never ignore her children's feelings because they are busy with work.

Wan Lin didn't come back until Shen'er was asleep.

Wan Lin pushed open the door with a tired face, and Fu Xiaojiu was the first to walk out after hearing the movement.

"Xianggong, you are back. I'm going to heat up your meal. ”

Wan Lin waved his hand, "No need, I ate in Hanlin Academy." ”

Wan Pozi and Wan Lao Man also followed out of the door, Wan Pozi saw Wan Lin's tired face, and said distressedly: "Son, you must be tired, right?" If you don't eat, my mother will make you some soup to drink. ”

Wan Lin smiled tiredly, "Mother, I don't drink soup anymore, I'm a little sleepy, and now I just want to sleep." ”

"Alright then, I'll boil some hot water." Mrs. Wan and Old Man Wan went to the stove room together.

As soon as Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu entered the house, Wan Lin said, "King Zhao also came to me today." ”

Fu Xiaojiu immediately asked a little nervously, "Oh? Did he go to Hanlin Temple to look for you, or did he look for you on your way back? ”

Wan Lin said with a serious expression: "When I was about to get home, his family stopped our carriage, and then King Zhao came to see me in person. ”

"What did he tell you?" Fu Xiaojiu asked anxiously.

Wan Lin now recalls King Zhao's words, and he still feels incredible.

"He said that he asked the saint to go with the army and to go to the south with the king of Zhenbei."

After hearing this, Fu Xiaojiu also showed an incredible expression.

"What? How would he make such a request? ”

Wan Lin looked at Fu Xiaojiu with a complicated look in his eyes, "The sage has already allowed it." ”

Fu Xiaojiu quickly reacted, "King Zhao, this is trying to make meritorious contributions?" ”

Wan Lin nodded and said, "He should have this in mind." The reason why the saint agreed to him should also be to see how capable he is, right? If King Zhao performs well in the army, or can really fight bravely to kill the enemy and forget to die, then there will be no suspense about the position of the crown prince. ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "King Zhao is really smart, he gave up his life for the position of the crown prince." I wonder how King Jiewang will react when he hears his decision? ”

Wan Lin said helplessly: "King Zhao asked me this question. I didn't answer him. ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled mischievously, "I guess if King Jie learned that King Zhao was about to go to war, he should draw a circle at home and curse him, right?" ”

Wan Lin was stunned, "Draw a circle curse?" What kind of spell is this? ”

Fu Xiaojiu waved his hand, "Don't care, I just said it casually." But I guess King Jie may have gathered his henchmen at home to discuss how he should behave in front of the saint after King Zhao left, right? ”

Wan Lin twisted his eyebrows slightly, "What the lady said is right, I guess King Jie of tomorrow may also make a request to go on the expedition, but he is not like King Zhao who has a reputation for both civil and military affairs, he has always shown himself as a gentle scholar, even if he puts forward such an idea, the saint will not agree." At this step, he lost to King Zhao. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said with emotion: "This King Zhao is really scheming. If he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be either Dachen's luck or Dachen's misfortune. ”

Wan Lin cast an appreciative look at Fu Xiaojiu, "Lady, if you are a man, we will definitely be ministers of the same court." ”

Fu Xiaojiu chuckled: "I'm not interested in being an official, I just want to make money." Today, the Xu family has arrived, everything has been arranged, and when the workshop is renovated, it will be able to start work soon. ”

Wan Lin took Fu Xiaojiu's hand and came to the bedside, "It's a pity that I've been too busy lately, and I don't know when I'll be able to meet them." Lady, then please tell me what you have done today, and let me know about the workshop. ”

Fu Xiaojiu finished talking to Wan Lin about her work for the day, and Wan Lin showed a distressed look.

Without waiting for Wan Lin to speak, Fu Xiaojiu preemptively said: "I know you feel sorry for me, but you don't have to say it, it sounds weird." As long as you protect yourself, don't lie down in this open and secret battle, and you will feel sorry for me. ”

"Lying gun?" Wan Lin blinked in confusion.

At this time, Wan Pozi's voice came from outside the door, "The hot water is ready." ”

"It's coming!"

Fu Xiaojiu immediately went to open the door for Wan Pozi.

Wan Lin also walked to the door and rushed to serve the hot water in Wan Pozi's hand.

Wan Pozi looked at the two of them and said distressedly: "You all rest early, you are all tired for a day." ”

Wan Lin replied with a smile: "I know Mother, you should go to bed early." ”

Wan Pozi left, and after Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu washed up separately, they didn't talk much anymore, and soon fell asleep after lying down.

They were all really tired.

As soon as Wan Lin arrived at the Hanlin Academy in the morning, before he could sit down, he heard someone tell someone about a shocking thing.
