The banquet of the Chu family was very lively, until the lanterns were lit in the courtyard, and everyone was still reluctant to disperse, so they gathered in groups to chat and joke.

Ding An looked at Jiang Juan who was chatting happily with Shen Luzhu in the distance, and sighed, "Sometimes I really envy Brother Chu."

Chu Yi looked at Ding An and raised his eyebrows a little puzzled.

Ding An sighed and teased, "I mean, when can I call you cousin?"

Chu Yi raised his forehead and chuckled, then looked at Shen Luzhu and Jiang Juan on the other side again, and asked softly, "What are your plans?"

"Going to do it...... I said I was going to support her, I was going to wait for her. Sometimes I really think that I haven't worn this dress on my body, if I am not the head catcher of this county government, but just a country boy, where will she have any worries that are worthy of it, and if she does not deserve it, then I can see it every day."

Chu Yi retracted his gaze, thought about it and felt that since Jiang Juan and Ding An had already explained their feelings to each other, it seemed that it was indeed better to reunite as soon as possible, so he asked, "Do you want to ask my family Azhu to talk to my cousin?"

Ding An paused when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "I said that I was waiting for her, I drank some wine, and some mediocre people disturbed me, but I took my heart, thank you, brother."

Yang Fangsheng was picked up by the old lady of the Yang family from the ancestral house in the countryside, and it has been more than ten years, but uncharacteristically, he has not even left the door of the house once, and he stays in front of the bed of the old man of the Yang family all day long.

It's not that the days of being locked up in the ancestral house in the countryside really made Yang Fangsheng change his temperament, from a cynical gangster to a dutiful son, just to inherit the family business, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight the two brothers, so I have to listen to his mother.

Yang Fangsheng now sleeps and goes to the toilet every day, basically staying in the bedroom of the old man of the Yang family, although his two brothers are not so exaggerated, but they are also there most of the time, the Yang family's performance like this is that they have already acquiesced in their hearts, the fact that the old man Yang is about to die soon, for fear that the old man will wake up and be absent, and someone else will do something, and there will be some more last words and wills.

At this time, even if you don't seize every opportunity to perform, you don't dare to take it lightly and be taken advantage of casually. But Yang Fangsheng has been in the countryside for a few months, there is no restaurant and teahouse, and he can't listen to opera and singing.

Yang Fangsheng wanted to go out like crazy, not only had he endured it to the limit, but more importantly, yesterday, the old man of the Yang family finally woke up for a long time, and as soon as he had a little spirit, he had to ask about his own workshop and shop, and it was at this time that Yang Fangsheng learned a news that was very unfavorable to him.

The Yang family's paper money workshop, there was a strike and resignation before, and then the old man of the Yang family had a physical problem, and the recruitment of the workshop before the Qingming Festival was taken over by the second Yang Fangwu, and now the workshop from the supervisor to the workers, all of them have been replaced by his cronies.

There is also the Yang family's shop that specializes in wholesale, although the old man of the Yang family is still in the bones, but in the end, he is old, and he can't stay in the shop all day, so he ordered the most honest and obedient boss Yang Fangwen to keep an eye on himself every day.

In Yang Fangsheng's opinion, the current shop and workshop at home have been divided up by the two brothers, and he is not welcomed by the old man, and now if he doesn't hurry up and do something big to turn the situation around, I am afraid that even if he is serving him for twelve hours a day, it will be useless.

What just has to be done to reverse the current decline, or what can he do? After thinking about it, Yang Fangsheng thought of Chu Ji again, last time Wang Dashun and Wang Xiaoshun failed to steal it, this time he had to think of another way.

Maybe it's the publicity in place on the opening day, the coffin shop of the small couple, since the opening of the business, the business is still good, not only that, but even the sales of the grain basin paper have risen a lot, seeing that the paper has been gradually accepted, Shen Luzhu struck while the iron was hot, and studied several paper styles, there are mansions and pavilions, there are also ox carriage sedan chairs, each of which is good

Styles, sizes, and colors.

Most of the people in the county town are richer than those in the towns or villages below, and they are rich, so they are naturally more willing to invest in things like weddings and funerals.

After well accepting the paper tie such as the grain pot, cornucopia and cash cow of the small couple, people seem to be more able to understand and accept these new paper ties newly launched by Chu Ji, not only the people who come to buy the coffin will buy them together, but also some people who come to buy these paper ties, saying that they are living a good life, and they also want to live a good life for the ancestors of the family.

During this period, Lin Ting, who received the news of the young couple, also took his own workers to the county seat.

Just after seeing the vivid paper in the coffin shop, Lin Ting's heart is very hot now, according to what the little couple said at the beginning, they thought that this business would not have to wait for a year or two to improve, but who would have thought that it was only half a year, Chu Yi dragged Jiang Quan to bring him a message again, saying that he had an operational follow-up plan, and asked him to bring a few skilled and reliable workers to the county seat.

"When I heard from you, I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed over. According to what you said, these people are the backbone of my family's papermaking workshop, and their craftsmanship is very good."

Chu Yi explained that the two brothers, Xue Changshan and Xue Changlin, took care of the two shops, and he and his wife took Lin Ting and his party to the hall in the inner courtyard: "Brother Lin also saw it just now, Ah Zhu has researched several kinds of paper ties, and recently they are sold in the coffin shop, and the deal is still successful.

The little couple asked him to bring the workers to the county seat, Lin Ting actually thought that he might have to learn to make paper ties, but he was not too surprised by this: "I thought of this, but Brother Chu will definitely open our paper workshop in the county in the future, these masters are all old households in the town, and their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends are over there, and it is not good for me to be the boss to ask them to come to the county seat in the future, you see if we will recruit some more workers in the county, but I didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, and the workshops in our county town have not yet found a good place."

"Brother Lin, at the moment, this paper trade has just improved, and there is no hurry to find a workshop."

Shen Luzhu added with a smile: "At present, only a small amount of production is needed, in addition to supplying the business in the shop, the main thing is to teach a few masters first, take advantage of this time to practice well, and then streamline the production process, so that when the time comes, we will find more workers in the workshop in the county, and more workers will be brought in the future."

Lin Ting nodded: "I said before that I would give it to me to find a workshop, but I have been busy since the beginning of the year, and I haven't liked it too much after seeing a few places, this time I received the news from Brother Chu, I thought that our business was going to be delayed because of me, and now since Brother Chu and my younger siblings said so, then I am relieved."

Chu Yi continued: "If Brother Lin is busy, just leave the matter of finding a workshop to me, we are in this county most of the time, and it is always more convenient than Brother Lin."

Lin Ting waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you two are also busy, since this matter is not in a hurry, you should leave it to me."

As a few people were talking, Xue Changshan, who was looking at the paper money shop, ran in: "Master, there are a few people in the shop, saying that they are looking for you."

The people they are familiar with, the brothers of the Xue family have almost seen it for a while, but at the moment, the apprentice's rhetoric is obviously not recognized, Chu Yi asked a little puzzled, "Who did the other party say, what is the matter?"

Xue Changshan shook his head and said, "It's a few men, who just said that they wanted to find our boss."

Lin Ting saw that the young couple had something to do, so he hurriedly said, "What we have to say is almost the same, Brother Chu and his younger siblings just go and get busy, don't pay attention to me."

Chu Yi wanted to go to the front shop to deal with things, Shen Luzhu really didn't want to entertain Lin Ting in the hall by himself, but he couldn't just leave people in the hall, so he invited Uncle Chu to come over to accompany him, and the little couple followed Xue Changshan to the shop in the front yard.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Xue Changshan whispered to Master and Master about his guess: "Master, I don't feel like those people outside are good people, why don't I go directly to the Yamen to report to the official?"

"Why do you say that?"

Maybe it's the reason why he takes his younger brother on the street all the year round to make a living, Xue Changshan has always been very vigilant, although he can't come for a reason, but he still feels that those people in the shop are not good, and at this time he actually regretted that he came in and called Chu Yi: "I don't know, I just think that the leader looks like a gangster on the street on weekdays, and he doesn't feel like a good person, or Master, you and Master don't go out, I'll tell him that you are not there."

The sky is blue, and his house is not far from the county office, Chu Yi thought that even if he was not a good person, he should not dare to act rashly, so he patted Xue Changshan on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't worry, Changlin, you go directly to him, you don't have to follow us."

"It's still at the coffin shop."

After Xue Changshan finished speaking, he didn't seem to have any intention of going to find his younger brother, but turned to Shen Luzhu with some hesitation: "Master?"

Shen Luzhu also soothed, "Listen to your master, go find Changlin."

After Xue Changshan left, Chu Yi was about to speak, when he saw Shen Luzhu covering his ears, shaking his head and saying, "You don't have to say it, I won't listen."

Chu Yi was a little amused: "Before I even opened my mouth, Ah Zhu knew what I was going to say?"

"Tell me to go back, what else can I say."

Chu Yi did have the idea of telling Shen Luzhu not to go out, no matter what the other party's purpose was, it was always right to be more careful.

"Chu Yi, if Changshan guesses wrong, it won't be good if I go with you, if Changshan guesses correctly, then I will go out with you even more, so let's go quickly, don't let people wait too long."

After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he no longer gave Chu Yi a chance to refuse, and took people to the paper money shop in the front yard.
