Chapter 38 Chapter 38 is really busy

Li County is going to open two more workshops, and just like last time, it will only recruit girls. As soon as the news came out, the girls in Li County were all eager to sign up.

Hearing that there were two workshops this time, many people were secretly delighted. If there were two workshops, the chances of being selected would be much greater.

Kang Zhuqing got the news late last time, and by the time she knew it, it was too late. This time, she must go to the workshop and get her monthly wages.

If she entered the workshop, Shi Tu would farm at home while she would work in the workshop, and Shi Jin would work as an assistant under the county lord doing experiments.

Their family will never go hungry again. In the past, Kang Zhuqing would never have dared to imagine this.

Shi Tu and she couldn't help but sigh, "How come the county lady has only been in Li County for half a year, and everyone's life is getting better and better?"

Shi Jin got off work early today. When she returned home, she saw Kang Zhuqing and Shi Tu hesitating in front of her, as if they wanted to say something but stopped.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Mother, Father...do you have anything to say?"

Even at home, Kang Zhuqing couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Mother Jin, tell me, how many people are you hiring for this workshop? Is it a small workshop or a large workshop? What is this workshop for? Is it as difficult as the last papermaking workshop?"

Shi Jin has recently been studying the cotton gin made by Craftsman Sun and his apprentice with Yao Niang, and has been oblivious to what is happening outside. As for the matter of opening a workshop, Shi Jin didn't care at all.

Shi Jin sat down at the table and began to recall.

"I remember Sister Yao Niang mentioned some perfume and soap..."

Kang Zhuqing was confused: "What soap? What is that?"

Shi Tu also asked, "What is perfume?"

Not to mention Kang Zhuqing and Shi Tu, Shi Jin didn't know either, but she felt that A Niang was serious and down-to-earth in her work, so she would definitely be selected.

Ye Xialan and Mo Yu handled the matter quickly. The Jiang family already knew about Mo Jinglian's illness, and now it was just a matter of putting on a show, and the whole Shuozhou knew that Mo's Paper Industry was going to disappear.

Ye Xialan told Mo Yu in detail about Mo Jinglian's serious illness in Li County. She was almost crying and choking.

"You didn't go with her, so you don't know how I felt when I saw her coughing up blood! She was on the verge of death those few days! Fortunately, the county lady's magic medicine came, otherwise Miaomiao would have no chance of survival!"

Mo Yu comforted his agitated wife while wiping away tears. "As long as our family is safe and sound, that's all that matters matter. Once we've settled matters in Shuozhou, we'll go over and reunite with Miaomiao. Miaomiao and Ah Xing are all alone over there, and they'll surely miss us."

The couple first met with the Jiang family. Looking extremely tired, they sold the workshop and gave some compensation to the people working in the workshop.

The Jiang family took over Anjing's gold-sprinkled paper business and was planning to expand the workshop. Now they can avoid a lot of trouble, and the people doing the work are all experienced.

There are no eternal enemies in the business world. With interests at stake, the Jiang family looked at Mo Yu with regret, "Miao Miao will definitely recover. I held such a well-educated and well-mannered girl in my arms when I was a child! Brother Mo, don't worry too much."

After finishing their business, the couple returned all the indentures to the servants and gave them an extra three months' wages.

As for the house, it is an old house, so it is just left there.

Other wealthy businessmen in Shuozhou lamented that the once powerful Mo family seemed to have disappeared.

There are also some loyal people who are willing to guard the house for Mo Yu and Ye Xialan.

After everything was settled, the couple sent a letter, took all their belongings, and hired someone to escort them to Shizhou.

Ye Xialan said to Mo Yu at the county gate, "The county lady and the county magistrate are both kind people, unlike the governor of Shuozhou. Life here can be peaceful and stable."

Feng Ling brought Nan Shuang and Nan Qiao to greet them, and also helped Mo Yu and the others to move their luggage.

Nan Shuang and Nan Qiao each carried a large box in their hands and walked away, shocking Mo Yu.

Ye Xialan patted Mo Yu's shoulder and said, "This is the maidservant beside the county lady. She is born with great strength. Don't be surprised."

Feng Ling greeted them enthusiastically and carried the remaining things on his back, "Uncle Mo, Aunt Ye, I will take you to your accommodation now."

Mo Yu asked, "Why can't I see Miaomiao?"

Ye Xialan was also worried about Mo Jinglian's health. "Has she been taking good care of herself these days? Is she almost recovered?"

Feng Ling didn't even turn his head, "Madam Zhu said Miaomiao has fully recovered."

Ye Xialan patted her chest and said, "That's good. What we are most worried about in Shuozhou is her health. When we get to our residence later, we will take Miaomiao with us to pay our respects to the county lord."

Feng Ling scratched his head awkwardly. "Miao Miao is not at her residence right now. She asked me to pick you up and settle you down first. She may be back later."

Mo Yu was puzzled: "She just recovered from a serious illness, where can she go?"

Feng Ling could only honestly explain, "Miaomiao is very busy right now. A few days ago, she said she wanted to make some printed soap and soap with essential oils. She is keeping an eye on it in the workshop."

In this sentence, except for the word "miaomiao", the rest of Mo Yu and Ye Xialan's words were like heavenly books.

The two of them didn't even know where to start asking, and finally just said, "She is so tired, she should take care of herself."

Nan Shuang and Nan Qiao were initially very eye-catching with a big box in each hand, but after the people saw it clearly, they no longer found it strange.

But people gathered around Feng Ling and asked, "Madam Feng, these two ladies and this gentleman look so unfamiliar."

Feng Ling said openly, "These two are Madam Mo's father and mother."

When they heard that they were Mo Jinglian's parents, the faces of the people surrounding Feng Ling instantly became full of smiles.

"So they are Madam Mo's parents."

"Mrs. Mo has been working really hard on researching new soaps lately."

"Is this Madam Mo's parents' first time in Li County? I'm afraid they haven't used soap yet?"

While Ye Xialan was back in Shuozhou and the two of them were dealing with various matters, Li County had already opened two workshops and had begun training workers and carrying out production in an orderly manner.

Mo Jinglian was naturally very busy. All these matters were under her control, and she was also in charge of the two workshops.

Even the ten-year-old Tang Xing was brought along by her to help her write various documents.

In this regard, Lin Si even quietly asked Zhu Shixi whether Mo Jinglian needed more attention for his current health?

Zhu Shixi patted Lin Si's chest and assured him, "Don't worry, County Lady, allicin will definitely cure her illness. She will have recovered long ago."

Arriving at the courtyard where she used to live, Ye Xialan pushed open the door. The room was empty and the tea on the table was cold. Not to mention Mo Jinglian, even Tang Xing was gone.

The couple had no choice but to ask Nan Shuang and Nan Qiao to carry the box into the house and take out the teacups, pens, ink, paper and inkstone that the couple often used.

Ye Xialan sighed, "This room is really too small."

Mo Yu agreed very much. He hadn't lived in such a small house in many years. "If possible, let's expand this house. I see no one lives next door. We can discuss it with the county magistrate."

The two of them waited and waited, and finally Mo Jinglian came back home with Tang Xing, exhausted.

Mo Yu and Ye Xialan had tears in their eyes. They stood up and said, "Miao Miao..."

Mo Jinglian pushed Tang Xing in front of Mo Yu and Ye Xialan, "Mother, Father, I've been too busy these past two days and really don't have time to go home. I'll have Ah Xing take you to the County Lord's Mansion to meet the County Lord first, and then have him explain the rules of Li County to you. If you want to eat, you can go to the County Lord's Mansion for a working meal. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Tang Xing asked, "So, sister, where's your lunch?"

"Feng Ling, send it to me!"

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and walked out, without any nostalgia for her parents in her eyes.

The tears in Ye Xialan and Mo Yu's eyes were instantly held back.
