The matter of the third uncle Cheng Ming has always been pressing on Cheng Ziyu's heart, he has been too bitter and painful, it is rare that he can still have a heart again, it is a great joy.

Li Chun's people went to inquire about the girl's identity and background, and confirmed that it was a good girl with a clean net worth and clean conduct. Scholarly family, the family is in the middle, cold and stubborn on the outside, but he is warm-hearted on the inside.

The girl is in her twenties and mature. Originally, he had already agreed to marry, but after his father became seriously ill a few years ago, he changed houses and sold land for medical treatment, and his fiancé's family saw that the family had become a drag, so they canceled the marriage contract. Her family was in difficulty, and she had to take care of her parents, so the marriage was delayed.

At the end of last year, her parents passed away one after another, and the girl lost the reputation of being a father and mother, and no one cared about it.

After her parents finished their affairs and kept filial piety for half a year, the girl sold all her family property and went to Gusu to seek refuge with her uncle, which was the only time she met Cheng Ming......

Cheng Ziyu felt that it was really a good match.

The third uncle has a flaw, what he needs is a person who will never give up, the girl has no mother's family, since she regards her husband as the sky wholeheartedly, the two of them will definitely live a good life.

According to Cheng Ziyu's meaning, it is necessary to do a big job, one for the sake of the third uncle's thoughts. Second, I also took the opportunity to have a lively banquet and thank the villagers and elders who helped the Cheng family in the past two years.

As the housewife and eldest sister-in-law of the family, He naturally wants to go back to preside over the overall situation.

Cheng Ziyu prepared a thick meeting gift for the third aunt, and began to plan for He's trip south.

Hongyu is sensible in the painting, and naturally knows the importance of the matter, so they also prepared a generous gift and wrote a letterhead to express their inconvenience to drink the wine and their blessings to the three uncles and aunts.

Cheng Ziyu wanted to go home and drink the wedding wine, but this time she really couldn't go back.

So she took out another 3,000 taels of private silver, and told the He family to simply do a big job, set up a flowing water seat, and be grateful.

The marriage was very successful, and the third uncle and sister-in-law were also very affectionate.

While Cheng Ziyu is taking care of her children in Beijing, she is also busy taking care of Hongyu and painting, and she has to take care of workshop affairs, almost too busy to fly, even more than before marriage.

Li Chun propped his head and looked at his beloved wife, who had been rushing to work for many nights, slightly aggrieved: "We ran ahead, but we asked them to catch up one by one." He Sijing's kid watched the two of them hug them for three years, and became more and more rampant, implying that I can't be a big brother. Lady, what do you think? ”

Someone's claws reached for the belt opposite......

Syllable!

But it was ruthlessly opened.

"Isn't that easy?" Cheng Ziyu raised her eyebrows at him. "I'll give you an idea, keep He Sijing to be respectful and honest, I don't even dare to give you a hint, and your position as a big brother will not be shaken!"

So from the second day, Cheng Ziyu threw all the affairs of the entire capital workshop to Li Chun on the grounds of rushing the goods.

As for He Sijing, he is just a small steward in the workshop who is responsible for negotiating transactions, and he is under Li Chun's management in terms of position and rights. All the lists, in and out of the accounts, have been through Li Chun's hands. The advance money included wages, and without Li Chun's approval, he couldn't get a penny......

Can He Sijing be honest? Then someone, it's not good to talk about He Sijing's name anymore......

Cheng Ziyu smiled secretly, the goods had been resting for a few months, teasing the baby and drinking during the day, and it was leisurely, and he didn't let go at night. In the past, the division of labor in the family was clear, and there were not many workshops, so it really didn't matter whether he participated or not. But now that the old man is leaving, he is pregnant in the painting, He Sijing is absent-minded, she is busy with a spinning top, how can she cheapen him?

Cheng Ziyu thought so, so she did it.

Early the next morning, without Li Chun's consent, she announced a retreat in the workshop, and asked Li Chun to deal with and solve all affairs, and then ignored it, ran directly to the kiln, and asked people to hang a big copper lock on the kiln door.

When the door of the house was slammed open, Li Chunzheng held Nianbei with one hand and practiced light exercises among the old plums, his son giggled and was happy, and he could stretch his muscles and bones. Of course, the most important thing is to spend more physical strength, so that you don't have to toss and turn at night and can't sleep......

He just didn't expect that soon, he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

After Xia Wei found a large string of workshop keys from his bedside, Li Chun's courtyard door was knocked on again and again, and he came to the door one by one, which only made Xia Wei want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, while Li Chun had itchy and toothache.

The color of the mud is not right and come to him? Gray and smoky are not the same thing? What is the difference between purple and sauce? He can't see the difference at all, okay?

Is the color deviation due to the lack of firing temperature or the color matching of the mud? He doesn't know anything at all, right?

Q: Can the Cai family's goods be advanced by half a month? He doesn't know what goods, how many goods, how long the construction period is, okay?

said that the Gu family wanted to order 300 pieces, and asked if the price could be reduced by half? How does he know how much profit is? Can it be lowered?

Ay!

Li Chun spent the next three days in a daze and headache.

He tried.

Although there are hundreds of guards around him, all of them are good at watching and fighting, and none of them can do meticulous work.

No, it can't be helped.

Cheng Chengming is not here, and pregnant women can't be disturbed when he enters the painting, and he can't even find anyone to shirk. As for He Sijing, it was just half a bucket of water, and he ran faster than a rabbit under the banner of going home to take care of his pregnant wife and young son.

Li Chun stubbornly asked, while looking more and learning more from the major stewards, he tried to be in charge up and down.

The effect is "immediate"!

In just three days, he made a series of mistakes and lost several deals.

Take the matter of the Gu family wanting to order additional goods, after inquiring and finding that each piece of goods was quoted at one tael, the cost was six yuan silver, and the profit was four hundred yuan, he finally ordered an additional three hundred, and the price was reduced by half percent.

He calculated, the original gross profit of 1,000 pieces of goods was 400 taels, and at this moment, 1,300 pieces were calculated at 950 yuan a piece, although it seemed that the unit price had been reduced, but the total gross profit had not decreased, but had reached more than 450 taels, which was more than before.

Naturally, he should ......

And then......

Cheng Ziyu, who was hiding in the kiln, was overjoyed when she looked at the shipping book, and found Manager Zhang.

The next day, Steward Zhang found Li Chun with this document with a bitter face.

"Master, can you let someone try it and invalidate this paperwork?"

Li Chun originally felt that he had gotten a little started in the past two days, but when he heard this, he felt that it was wrong.

"Master, ninety percent of this batch of goods is going to lose money. Let's not mention whether the shipment period can catch up after the quantity is added, first of all, this batch of mud is required by the other party to be transported from Jingxi, and we have no inventory in Beijing. Jingxi has just sent two boatloads of mud out, and it will have to wait for next month for mud to come out again. Moreover, it takes time to deliver the letter, and it takes time to prepare the mud, and it will take three months to deliver it. If you want to expedit, the freight will have to be all counted on this batch of mud, and then you won't have to make any money.

And the reason why only one or two pieces are sold is that the mold is mass-produced. There is a loss of mold, thousands of pieces are close to the limit, if you want to 1,000 three, it is bound to add molds, whether you can catch up with the delivery date is not mentioned, this is a labor and cost.

Again, the kiln is all lined up. As you know, our goods have been in short supply, and the entire kiln is operating at full capacity. If the delivery is not in time, we still have to pay the silver......

And sir, did you push back the delivery date before you agreed to increase the amount? …… In addition to the ones I just mentioned, our labor is also ......."

The steward Balabala kept talking, and Li Chun was one head and two big.

This list he thought he could earn a few more people, who knew that there were so many doorways in it.

In the end, he came to the door in person, and the other party saw his face, so he tore off the new order and operated according to the previous order.

Although he still earned four hundred taels, he also took a favor.

And this list is not a special case, in the few days that Cheng Ziyu was in the kiln, similar things happened several times.

Doing business is so complicated!

But if he is as shrewd as he is, how can he not know how much he or his wife is counting on it? The workshop has been running smoothly, and those stewards are also in charge, since there is a problem, why didn't he open his mouth when he inquired earlier?

Of course, he understood his wife's hard work and did not bother him.

While he took the initiative to stay in the workshop to help carefully, he was also unwilling.

He didn't believe that he could lead thousands of troops to fight the country, and he couldn't clean up a workshop!

When Cheng Ziyu sneaked out of the kiln, a group of stewards had just gone out of Li Chun's place, and they gave her a thumbs up, saying goodbye to Li Chun, he was looking for a worker to explain all kinds of mud to him......

This made her smile motherly and relieved.

Who told her to have a distress lately?

As the inheritor of the skills of a pottery family, what she wants is not to make money, not to find value in the trivialities of various transactions every day, but to study and break through the real skills.

She wants to make achievements, want to have masterpieces, and want to leave a name in the history of pottery.

She also has a deeper understanding of how the old man would leave for five years and stay in the workshop and be reluctant to come out.

Exhausted from dealing with a bunch of things every night, she couldn't help but wonder, since her goal in this life was to pass on and carry forward her skills, why didn't she work hard to achieve it?

Li Chun is the person she trusts the most and wants to rely on.

Therefore, she used this method to push Li Chun......

Li Chun did not disappoint her, and after half a year of study and running-in, he basically took over the position of the head of the workshop.

In fact, when Cheng Ziyu was thinking about it, Li Chun didn't think about it less:

The old man is old, and he can't manage the affairs of the workshop for too long. Cheng Ming was not interested in Tao, but now that he has his own small family, he can't help for long.

And the Cheng family is not as strong as in the previous life, this life is too much stronger and divided into two, and if it is used in the painting, it should only be in charge of one of them in Jingxi and the capital.

That is destined to leave the rest of the land with Ziyu at the helm. If he doesn't help, his wife will continue to be so busy, not to mention ten or eight children, even three or five, even he, the father-in-law, will not be able to take care of it immediately.

If he doesn't shoot, who will shoot? The lady has a long way to go, not only to carry forward the skills, but also to spread the leaves!

After figuring this out, Li Chun worked hard and became an absolute big brother who also said everything in the affairs of the workshop!

……

In November, seeing that both the painting and the red jade were as big as Luo and were about to be produced, the red jade simply moved to the Cheng family to live.

The midwives and nurses from the palace were also waiting early.

The labor pain of entering the painting attacked first, and Zhu Changzhe gave grace and sent an imperial doctor to guard it.

Eight hours later, the child landed safely.

Daughter.

Cheng Ziyu hugged the soft child and smiled like a flower.

"Look at the little face of this melon seed, the hooked eyes, and the absolute beauty embryo has grown. This is the daughter of our Cheng family, she must be smart and loved. Sister-in-law, you are very blessed. ”

Cheng Ziyu said, and stuffed the gold lock plate that he had prepared a long time ago under the pillow of the painting. It's true. The delicate and soft eldest lady is the only girl in her generation, who in the Cheng family will not hurt?

"Really, girls just hurt people." Hongyu looked at the pink villain, and couldn't help but touch her big belly, "My baby must also be a girl." "Her kid is so annoying. If there is another ...... Thinking of this, the hairs on her back stood on end......

No, no, it must be a girl, it must be!

It seems that the child in Hongyu's womb heard this, and suddenly moved.

At first, Ruby thought it was an illusion, but gradually it felt wrong.

Fetal movement, falling pain.

It's going to be born.

The second child came smoothly in the end, and three hours later, the child arrived.

The birthdays of the two children are only one day apart.

Be...... Boy.

When Hongyu saw that it was a boy again, and then heard the clear and high-pitched crying sound that was as familiar as the firstborn, she almost fainted.

"I'm not blessed, I'm not blessed." There is neither the blessing of being a girl in the painting, nor the blessing of Ziyu being able to have a chic and fun for two years after giving birth, and the children who are born one after another are all debt collectors.

Cheng Ziyu and Jiang Yuxuan laughed unkindly and poked her head together. Holding two for three years, is this not a blessing? She forgot He Sijing's appearance a while ago, forgot that she had worked hard to get pregnant in order to have a child, and forgot that Jiang Yuxuan's stomach hadn't moved yet? ……

Hongyu pulled Cheng Ziyu's sleeve with a bitter face.

"I don't care, my mother is not here, my big baby can only be taken by you first. If you don't, I won't let you go. "The boy of the He family is naughty and noisy, and he is always disgusted by Hongyu, but she, the mother-in-law, forgets that this kid is obviously following her, and he is a troublemaker.

It was also because of Hongyu's words that the boy from the He family followed Cheng Ziyu's side.

The two children are about the same age, so they can just have fun.

That's it, another half a year has passed.

Cheng Ziming became more and more reliable, and returned to the workshop after entering the painting.

Cheng Hongyu's second son is also stubborn, she and He Sijing ran out of energy with only one of them, so Dawa still lived in the General's Mansion with Nianbei most of the time.

In June of the third year, when Jiang Yuxuan, who had been married for more than two years, finally had good news in her stomach, Cheng Ziyu was also going south.

If she doesn't come back, it's really not like it.

In addition, the old lady of the He family and the father and mother of the He family were urging urgently, and they couldn't wait to see their eldest grandson. So the eldest baby of the He family still followed Cheng Ziyu back to Jingxi.

Cheng Hongyu was desperate to take a breath, so she packed her eldest son's bags and sent them to the General's Mansion for the first time.

"This is your mother's conscience?" Cheng Ziyu gave her a blank look.

"Don't talk nonsense. Bring the child back, hello to me, hello to my in-laws, good grandmother, everyone is relaxed. Don't worry, I'll wait for Erbao to go back in a few months. Dabao is in He's house, it doesn't cost you anything. ”

Cheng Hongyu had a smile on her face that was brighter than a spring flower, and she looked extremely disgusting.

"By the way, the first thing you did when you went back was to ask my in-laws to quickly decide on the name of Dabao and then write to me; If it's convenient, buy me some delicious food to bring with the cargo ship next time; If Dabao is not used to it, you will take him to live with Nianbei...... Cheng Ziyu, don't go! Cheng Ziyu, you stop me! ……”

At the end of May, after helping Jiang Yuxuan settle down for childbirth, Cheng Ziyu and Li Chun went south with their two children.

They were ready not to return to Beijing in the short term, so not only did they bring a group of guards, but even Xia Wei's family, who was already married, and Liu'er's family were all with them.

They chartered a boat and headed south leisurely.

The summer breeze is soothing, the scenery is picturesque, and the sense of freedom away from the hustle and bustle makes the air a little sweet.

The two of them snuggled up to the high platform, and the children played on the deck, and the quiet years seemed to be like this.

The flying pigeon suddenly arrived.

Li Chun flicked his sleeves, and after making a gesture, the flying pigeon obediently landed on his hand.

Here comes the letterhead.

After Li Chun finished reading, the corners of his mouth twitched and handed it to Cheng Ziyu.

"Poof!" Cheng Ziyu laughed happily and ordered the boat boss: "Hurry!" Make the boat faster! Hurry up and get out of the capital area! ”

It was Cheng Hongyu who wrote to her, saying that she was pregnant again this morning. It's been two months.

The implication is to let Cheng Ziyu wait another year to return to Jingxi.

Cheng Ziyu was frightened, afraid that she would get someone to chase her, so she naturally had to run as far as she could.

"She can really do it, Dabao is pregnant with two treasures after giving birth for half a year, and two treasures are pregnant again after giving birth for half a year! Hmph, look at how she dares to be lazy, dare to be bad, and see how she still throws things to others. Jiang Yuxuan can't take care of her anymore, and she is busy with the workshop and her own baby, and she can't control her. She should ...... too."

As Cheng Ziyu spoke, she felt a little hot on the top of her head, and her heart suddenly became empty.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Someone hummed.

"Cheng Hongyu has three children, and we still only have one Nianbei. Obviously, I set off the earliest, but I ran the slower, and I was teased inside and outside the central government, all up and down the capital. You say Hongyu is lazy, aren't you lazy? If the red jade is bad, you are not bad? Do you only care about helping others and don't think about your own business? Nianbei's younger brother wants to inherit your craft, have you forgotten? He spoke with a sense of resentment.

Can't blame him, when he entered the palace yesterday, the Empress Dowager asked him a lot, and gave him a bunch of tonics, and wondered if he was injured when he was surrounded in the southwest, so he only asked him if he was "no".

Hey, he doesn't have a concubine, and the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, so it's no wonder everyone thinks about it...... As for Zhu Changzhe, who slacked off into the harem, he has already had several children.

Li Chun said, and his hand grabbed her waist.

"It's just that I don't work hard enough on weekdays, and you won't have a workshop to hide in the next time. As the old saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and merit is not reluctant, and now you and I have time to ......"

Cheng Ziyu couldn't cry or laugh, and as soon as he strengthened his hand, he almost carried her to the cabin.

"There are so many people, and the children are there."

"The lady is too worried. The summer heat has arrived, and a rest is good for the body and mind. So many people know that I am working hard and are on my side. Knowing that you are thin-skinned, you will only act as if you don't see it. As for the children, the first time they took the boat was fresh, and they would not have noticed that you or I were not there for two hours. Lady, rest in peace for two hours! ”

Li Chun felt that he really had to work hard.

When he got out of the waters of the capital, he slowed down the boat, and visited a few more ports along the way, how could it take a month to get to Jingxi, he didn't believe it, he worked hard, and he could not move.

……
