Chapter 652 The troublesome sister-in-law
Seeing them so angry, Feng Shi couldn't help but smile secretly, knowing that the concubine's plan had been fulfilled.
However, if everyone stayed any longer, she was really afraid that she would be exposed, so she stepped forward and said.
"The doctor is expected to come soon. I am busy now, so I won't keep you for tea." Feng Shi wiped her eyes again.
All the ladies understood, bowed to the bed, and left uncomfortably.
Before leaving, Feng Shi did not forget to reach into the bed curtain and was snatched away by the concubine Xiao Ya, who threw her on the roof after leaving the door.
After today's "performance".
Less than a day later, the fact that Xiao Nuobao was deliberately pushed into the water spread from various mansions to the whole capital.
After hearing about it, the people were filled with righteous indignation.
The streets, alleys, and markets were filled with people's voices of discontent.
"Our princess is so lovely, who dares to harm her behind her back? They are so vicious!"
"Since the arrival of Princess Fuxing, our national fortune has been getting better and better. The princess is our lucky star, and she must not get into trouble!"
Some people also complained.
"Alas, it is true that good people are prone to bad luck, while bad people are safe and sound. Why don't those who do evil suffer this disaster and die quickly?" "
That's right, like that Murong Shuren in the past, who was so arrogant and domineering but still alive and well. I really want to take her life in exchange for the health of our princess!" Two men cursed. At
this moment, Murong Qing was sitting with his legs crossed, listening to opera in the theater.
Hearing the cursing from the two people around her, she almost spit out a mouthful of tea, she was so angry, how could she be shot even though she had been so well behaved recently!
Murong Qing's face flushed, but fortunately, she was covered by a veil so that she was not recognized.
Under the veil, there was a scar that went through half of her face, which was the mark left when she had a dispute with Gu Changying before.
Now in the mansion, the relationship between them as mother and daughter is no longer the same as before.
However, thinking that Gu Pingzhi had already led the army to rush over, and counting the day was approaching, Murong Qing's joy in her heart covered up this unhappiness.
She pursed her lips and snorted, and endured it for the time being. When her great-uncle arrived, if these damn civilians dared to talk about her behind her back again, she would kill them all!
Thinking about the rumor that Xiao Nuobao was seriously ill, she was even happier. She squinted her eyes and waited for the death of the emperor to let her vent her anger.
At the same time, the rumors were also heard in the Li Mansion.
Li Hutu was not depressed when he learned that his most beloved student was pushed into the pond. He was furious in the study.
"How can this be possible!"
"It's because the imperial teacher is not in the capital, otherwise those villains dared to hurt the princess's body. The imperial teacher would definitely investigate it and take them all to Caishikou to be torn into pieces by five horses!"
Li Qingping was holding a bowl of ginseng soup and had just walked to the study when she was shocked by these harsh words.
She bit her lip with guilt and her hands shook unconsciously.
The one my father scolded... was her...
When Li Hutu heard the noise and came out, she saw that it was her daughter standing at the door, and the anger on her face was only reduced by a little.
"Why are you here, Ping'er? Do you have something to say to your father?"
Li Hutu relaxed his expression, walked forward and pulled his daughter, and was about to go into the study.
"I... I stewed a ginseng soup myself. My father is tired from studying in the Hanlin Academy, and I want to give you some to replenish your body. There is nothing else..."
Li Qingping did not dare to look at Li Hutu's eyes. She only replied a few words, put down the ginseng soup and left. She did not say her request that her father would take her to the Jiang family when he visited the princess...
When she returned to Ziwu Courtyard, Aunt Wang heard that she did not say anything, and she slapped her thigh in anger.
"You child, you are just too timid! You didn't push the person yourself, what are you afraid of!" Aunt Wang glared at her with disgust.
She looked fearless again and snorted, "Hang Shuma is dead, and the other women who went with us that day were sold to other places by my brokers. Even if the king of heaven comes to power, he can't find out about us. Just relax and continue to deal with the matter with Xiaoying and Jiang Fengnian!"
Li Qingping was young after all, and she had been trembling with fear at home for several days. After hearing this, she felt a little more at ease.
But she was worried that Xiao Nuobao would really die. After sitting down, she bit her lip and said, "I hope the princess can wake up soon. Let's not really cause a death. This is not my intention."
Aunt Wang disliked her white lotus, but she still curled her lips to comfort her, "If you want to say, this is not all our fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the princess for being too naive. She just spit a few saliva and she is almost dead? In the end, it's still her bad luck. No one else can be blamed!" After
saying that, she rolled her eyes and hurriedly took Li Qingping's hand and smiled.
"But even if she is really gone, it may not be a bad thing. In the future, when you marry into the Jiang family, you will have one less sister-in-law who can compete with you for favor. It's good for you and the child!"
Li Qingping's eyes were stunned.
After a while, she thought about it and thought about it...
After all, the Jiang family favored the princess alone, which has long been a well-known thing.
But as a woman, who would want to see her husband love his sister more and put herself second...
With such a sister-in-law around, wouldn't it ruin the relationship between the brother and sister-in-law? It's really a problem.
Thinking of this, Li Qingping seemed to have a touch of relief in her eyes, and she held her aunt's hand and said, "Although the princess is only five years old, she is spoiled too much, a hundred times more than ordinary children. Even if she really dies like this, her life is worth it. Everything depends on God."
Soon, after Aunt Wang coaxed her a few more words, Li Qingping cheered up.
She also promised Aunt Wang that she would find another opportunity to let Li Hutu agree to take her to the Jiang Mansion to visit the princess together so that she could meet Jiang Fengnian again.
But the current Jiang family is certainly not what they imagined, and there is a lot of grief.
On the contrary, the little fat girl was free and lived her mischievous life again, making the whole family laugh.
Early in the morning, she was messing around in the kitchen, trying to get Li Qiqiao to make a small stove for her in various ways.
Before noon, when Sun Chunxue woke up, Xiao Nuobao smiled and put his hands behind his back, and went to the eldest sister-in-law's room with his fifth brother, and then deliberately pulled out the newly made diaper and "showed" the eldest sister-in-law's craftsmanship all over the yard.
In the evening, he waited for Fengjing to come home after class.
The little fat girl dragged her two brothers and made a lot of noise with her braids on her head. She wanted to play "riding a big horse" and "lifting a sedan chair" one moment, which made her two brothers sweat and happy.
The next morning, Mrs. Xiao came and brought good news.
The workshop of Xiaoliu Village has been completely completed!
The Xiao family also selected some strict workers from the long-term workers they had used before and sent them to the workshop so that they could complete the orders as soon as possible!
The bustle of Xiaoliu Village is about to officially begin!
After sitting down, Old Lady Xiao calculated with Mrs. Feng, "Right now, the residents of our village, plus the long-term workers I brought in, add up to more than a hundred people working."
"I divided them into groups. Those with deft hands do carving and weaving. Those with clumsy hands really can't learn that." As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Sun Chunxue, who looked at her so hard that she wanted to sew.
Mrs. Xiao didn't care and said with a smile, "As for those with clumsier hands, there's nothing to do. Everyone has their own strengths. They can do any work like making lip balm, making perfume, or stringing necklaces, so I'll give it to them."
"There's only one thing for now, and I have to discuss it with you."
Mrs. Xiao thought about it for a moment, "Although we have won the order, we haven't fully established ourselves with overseas parties, so I want to keep this matter secret for now. Let people outside know that it will save them from learning from us, and then the competition will be greater."
This is why even when she hires some workers, she must be familiar with them and have a strict mouth.
These words also played into the Jiang family's hands.
When doing business, you have to keep silent and make a fortune!
Feng nodded immediately, "Of course, we will not tell anyone. The farmers from Beihe County also know what is good and what is bad, and they will not spread the news." It's
not that Mrs. Xiao doesn't trust them, but she is afraid that even if her family doesn't tell anyone, it will be troublesome if someone from outside enters the farm or sneaks in and sees it.
After hearing this, the Jiang family also became more alert and felt that they had to be more careful.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao scratched his head, clapped his hands, climbed onto Mrs. Xiao's legs, and gave her an idea.
"Grandma Xiao, how about this? From now on, we will send people to patrol the village. Divide the men in the village into four groups. The first two groups will be responsible for daytime patrols, and the last two groups will be responsible for night patrols."
"Let them take turns every seven days."
"Also, among the farmers from Beihe County, there are some who are severely disabled and have difficulty doing farm work and working. Let them be in charge of guarding the village entrance. This will save us the trouble of hiring other people. Secondly, we will find them jobs, and they will have hope for the future. The wages will be paid by our workshop!" Xiao Nuobao's brain moved slightly, and he made clear arrangements.
After hearing this, everyone thought it was feasible, so Old Lady Xiao kissed Guaibao and quickly took Fengmiao to the farm to make arrangements.
Xiao Nuobao of course wanted to go with her to witness the grand opening of the workshop!
Unfortunately, she is now an openly ill patient, so she can’t show up easily, and can only sigh at the sky at home.
However, there are always more solutions than problems!
Seeing that the little girl couldn’t go to the farm, she was bored at home and could only pace around and sigh. Li Qiqiao and Fenghu whispered for a while, and then one of them went to sew and the other went to the market!
After two hours, a uniquely shaped "mask" with a Dou hat on top and a half-meter-long gray cloth sewn on the bottom was made by Li Qiqiao.
Jiang Fenghu also bought a raincoat of the right size that could cover his sister's entire body.
When the two of them took it out from behind with a smile, Xiao Nuobao immediately understood. Yes, as long as her appearance could be covered, no one would know that it was she who went out!
So, the little fat girl stomped her feet excitedly, rolled in her second sister-in-law's arms, and then put on the hood and raincoat.
Once these two things were put on, she was completely covered from head to toe, even her eyes and nails were not exposed. She was wrapped more tightly than Canbao!
Jiang Fenghu looked at her funny appearance and felt that if the little girl moved, she would be like a scarecrow that had become a spirit. He laughed immediately.
But no matter how funny it is, dressed like this, it is hard to tell that there is a person inside.
So, Jiang Fenghu carried his "sister" on the carriage without saying anything, and prepared to go to the farm.
Before getting on the carriage at the corner gate, there happened to be a few men passing by.
They pointed at Xiao Nuobao, and couldn't see what was inside, and couldn't help but asked curiously, "Second Master Jiang, are you going to the farm again? What are you carrying?"
Jiang Fenghu looked calm and waved his hand, "Nothing, I just made a new scarecrow to prevent crows from attacking the crops. In our northern land, we all do this!"
This was so nonsense that although Xiao Nuobao didn't move, he couldn't help but chuckled twice.
When those people heard this, they couldn't help but raise their thumbs in amazement, "Good guys, your scarecrow in the north can make sounds. If it wasn't a little fat, I would have suspected it was a real person!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Nuobao couldn't laugh anymore.
She was so angry that she dug her feet into the ground and almost got her shoes torn off. It was thanks to Li Qiqiao that she sewed a thousand-layer sole!
Jiang Fenghu's mouth almost grinned behind his ears. He quickly threw his sister into the carriage and went to the manor.
When they arrived at Xiaoliu Manor, Xiao Nuobao was already sweating from the heat. She quickly took off her "equipment" and ran happily towards the workshop.
However, after she went in and looked around, she was shocked by the scene in front of her!
"Whose idea was this..." Xiao Pangya couldn't help but exclaimed.
In the workshop, nearly a hundred people were working at the same time.
However, their work was different from usual work. Instead of making the same thing by themselves, everyone sat in order, and each item was completed by three to five people. Each action was simple and surprisingly fast. I had never seen such work before!
In each room of the workshop, the tables were put together and placed in the middle, and the workers sat in a circle.
Take the making of turquoise necklaces for example.
The first person was responsible for delivering the materials, the second person was responsible for weaving the ropes, and the third person was connecting the ropes and stringing the beads. When passing it to the next person, they just had to close the ends and buckle it.
The first process, the second process, the third process... Obviously, several people were working on the same thing, but it was more laborious than doing it alone!
This method was thought up by Feng Miao because he was worried that some of them might not be able to complete the task on their own and might easily make mistakes.
Like now, each person is only responsible for doing one task, and even a weak-minded person can learn it after a few more days of teaching.
And everyone found it convenient and happy.
In addition, there are two people in the yard who are responsible for organizing the finished goods into the warehouse.
Fengmiao called another person who could write and was responsible for recording in the book.
How many pieces of what kind of goods are made?
Write down the names of each specific item and by which group of people.
After the registration is completed, Dawen will bring someone with him to check. Once any item is unqualified, it will be reworked or destroyed.
Xiao Nuobao hasn't been here for just a few days, but the place is already so orderly!
Different houses handle different goods, and there are people dedicated to delivering materials, registering, quality inspection, and inventory. This one-stop service is simply unprecedented!
