Yan Yan became interested after listening to Lu You's words, "Husband, do you think that the old lady has a grudge against the Zhu family because of this, so she instructed someone to move the Zhu family's medicine bag, but because of her identity, the people of the Imperial City Division did not dare to investigate her?" ”

Lu You shook his head, "Lady, we still haven't figured out why my grandfather favored that woman?" ”

"I guess it's the talent of the family." Yan Yan remembered that the old lady once said that she was not good at governing the family, so as soon as the Zhu family entered the door, she handed over the power of the housekeeper to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family did not live up to her, and soon managed the Lu family in an orderly manner.

What's even more rare is that the Zhu family is especially good at business, and the Lu family's half-dead shops doubled their profits in less than a year after they arrived in the hands of the Zhu family.

For this reason, not only did Lu Duan look down on her, but it was estimated that the grandfather of the old country would also be very fond of this daughter-in-law, after all, after so many years of dilution of these families, there was less and less family property available for them to squander.

Therefore, it is definitely a big advantage to be able to earn money and make money.

It's just that this advantage is based on Mrs. Lu's pain, and it's hard to say that Mrs. Lu won't hold a grudge.

After listening to Yan Yan's analysis, Lu You remembered another past incident, he also overheard the maids muttering, saying that the Zhu family was partial to his mother's house, and moved a lot of this furniture to his mother's house, for this reason, Lu Duan also quarreled with the Zhu family, but the Zhu family did not admit it.

"I know, most of the time the old lady found out that the Zhu family sent things to her mother's house and complained to the old grandfather, but the old grandfather didn't believe it and scolded the old lady." Yan Yan linked these two things together.

She didn't know anything else, but she knew that the life of the Zhu family must be much tighter than that of the Lu family, because the Zhu family has been spreading well over the years, and there are a lot of concubines, but whether it is a concubine or a concubine, or a boy or a girl, as long as they get married, it will definitely cost a lot of money, and it will cost a lot of money for boys to separate their families.

Zhou Wan said before that her mother has been giving gifts to her parents' family all these years, so her mother took her into Beijing with confidence to find her mother's family to help intercede and transfer her father back to the capital.

It's a pity that Yan Yan's reasoning couldn't convince Lu You, he felt that the old lady should not murder the Zhu family for this trivial matter, after all, the Zhu family's contribution to the Lu family over the years is obvious to all, and who is Yan Yu, a woman who dragged the Lu family and Lu Ming into the pit.

Of course, it was not Lu You's own intention to say that Yan Yu dragged Lu Ming into the pit, but in the eyes of the Lu family, Lu You knew these elders too well, so he felt that what Yan Yan said was unlikely.

On the contrary, if Yan Yu's crime of murdering his mother-in-law is confirmed, the Lu family can propose to divorce or even divorce his wife, and this reason is that the emperor and the queen mother cannot object.

Seeing that Yan Yan was still struggling with this problem, Lu You took a few pieces of cotton cloth, wiped himself up, wiped and wiped, Lu You found that something was wrong, this cloth was much more absorbent than the one used before, "Lady, is this your newly researched cotton cloth?" ”

"Well, it's easy to use, right? But it's not me who researched it, it's Zhou Wan, she has a lot of weavers from the south, not only made new textile machines, but also researched a lot of new colors, the textile technology in the south is stronger than in the north. Yan Yan took the cloth from her husband's hand and wiped his back for him personally.

"You're still working with her?" Lu You turned around.

"The cotton spinning piece is basically given to her, what, what's wrong?" After speaking, Yan Yan added, "This is her private room, and she plans to keep it for her son, by the way, she seems to be pregnant again." ”

"I'm afraid that's why that woman has taken a fancy to her, right? It's also possible that I don't want Yan Yu because of this. I'm afraid this is also the purpose of the old lady who has repeatedly wanted to talk to you and Yan Yu, probably they have expected the decline of the Lu family many years later, so they want to take precautions. Lu You snorted coldly and said.

Yan Yan didn't think about this problem, although she hit a lot of the Lu family's business, but this loss did not hurt the Lu family's muscles and bones at all, but Yan Yan's cotton textile business to Zhou Wan every year is indeed growing in multiples of each year, and more and more cotton is planted near the capital, every time the cotton is ripe, Zhou Wan will order people to take the initiative to buy cotton in the village, in this regard, Zhou Wan's net income this year is not 5,000 but 4,000, and it will definitely increase year by year in the future, and now that the war has stopped, There is no need for so many padded jackets and quilts to be sent to the front line, on the contrary, when the wounded soldiers on the front line retreat, the labor force for farming will definitely increase relatively, so it will not take three or five years, this is definitely a big cake.

With such a big movement, can the Zhu family not know?

With such a big piece of cake, can Zhu take a bite?

No wonder the Queen Mother once mentioned this to Yan Yan, Yan Yan didn't think much about it at that time, at the beginning, Zhou Wan had not married into the Lu family when she took over this business, at that time, when she was the most difficult and depressed, Yan Yan was to help her and the second was to use her craftsmanship, and later although she married Lu Ming, but because of her oath, Yan Yan was not embarrassed to take back the business.

"Don't worry, husband, I know what to do." Yan Yan gritted his teeth and said.

She has no opinion on this business to Zhou Wan, but she will never agree to it to the Zhu family, since Zhou Wan's interests are tied to the Zhu family, then she can only give up on her.

However, how to do Yan Yan still needs to discuss with Yan Bi, in order not to hurt Zhou Wan's face, she will not open a factory in the capital for the time being, she has a new idea, she wants to make socks and towels full-time, if these two things are done, the profit will definitely be considerable, the only business.

The most important thing is that as soon as she starts working on these two things, her own cotton field and the cotton field Yan Yan of several familiar families can be purchased, which invisibly divides a large part of the raw materials, which naturally dilutes Zhou Wan's income.

Also, she plans to cooperate with Yan Bi and Chen Ying to open a few such textile factories in Jiangnan and Northwest, and at the same time ask Yan Bi to help find a few good weaver girls to come over.

Yan Yan is a person who does what he says, the next day, after sending Lu You out, Yan Yan wrote a letter to Yan Bi, and then she ordered Zhou Haisheng to pick a few textile experts for her from Zhuangzi, and she wanted to ask them to study the weaving method of the loop velvet and socks.
