After Xiao Hanzheng returned to North City, he first dealt with the official business that had accumulated recently.
Shi Qingluo was also busy with the affairs of the Craftsmen Academy.
Xi Rui led a group of people to research and develop a cotton spinning machine, and also improved the original textile machine.
It is also because of this that he is more interested in mechanical improvements and research.
Shi Qingluo found that he had great potential, so he asked him to attend the newly opened mechanical class.
Then I discovered that Xi Rui had a talent for being a teacher. I wasn’t used to it at first, but after gradually getting the hang of it, I became better and better.
We can also arrange and coordinate other teachers and courses.
So after discussing with Xiao Hanzheng, she decided to appoint Xi Rui as the dean of the Craftsmen's College.
In addition to Xi Rui's own ability in this area, it also means to repay the Xi family for secretly helping them a lot in the capital.
They asked Xi Rui, and Xi Rui had never thought that he would become the dean of the college one day, so of course he would not refuse.
And he doesn't just rely on his family. He has a pretty good status, so he will be more confident when he wants to marry Bai Li in the future.
Then Xiao Hanzheng wrote a memorial to the emperor about the matter and sent it back to the capital as soon as possible.
The emperor doted on Xi Rui because the empress dowager doted on him, so he naturally would not object to such things.
He then personally issued an edict appointing Xi Rui as the president of the North City Craftsmen College.
This news broke the peace in the court.
Not to mention other court officials, even Mr. Xi and Xi Xinheng did not expect that their grandson/son would become the dean.
Although the Artisan College is not as prestigious as an academy, becoming the dean may mean that Xi Rui will have a bright future.
It can also be seen that the emperor pays more and more attention to craftsmen because of Xiao Hanzheng and his wife.
The textile machine that Xi Rui researched and modified has been sent to the capital, and many families with textile businesses are eyeing it.
After the court session ended, many court officials came up to Mr. Xi and Xi Xinheng to congratulate them.
Grandpa Xi said with pride, "My grandson has always been very smart, but he just liked to play around before. Now he knows how to make progress, and he has made great achievements."
Other ministers: “…” Your grandson is the most dissolute playboy in the capital. It’s too “modest” to say that he just likes to play.
The old man showed off his grandson, and everyone else had no choice but to follow suit.
An old marquis with real power, who has always been at odds with Old Man Xi.
Seeing Grandpa Xi showing off his grandson, he was very unhappy and said sarcastically: "Your grandson is just lucky to be with certain people, otherwise how could such a good thing happen."
His little grandson was also a playboy, but when he was a playboy, he was surpassed by Xi Rui.
Now Xi Rui not only invented the tricycle and improved the textile machine, but also became the dean of the Craftsmen's College, which made him particularly unhappy.
When Old Master Xi heard this, he was not angry at all. He even raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You just want to say that my grandson is hanging out with Xiao Hanzheng and Princess Fubao. What's wrong with that? This is my grandson's ability."
"Xiao Hanzheng and Princess Fubao are both capable people. My grandson follows these ambitious people, so of course he will become more and more ambitious as well."
"I don't think this is shameful. On the contrary, I feel proud that my grandson is with them."
He glanced at the old marquis and said, "You are a typical example of someone who says the grapes are sour because they can't eat them. Your grandson can't even get close to you if he wants to."
The old marquis was very angry, "Shameless, letting your grandson follow others, what do you have to be proud of?"
Old Master Xi sneered, "Your grandson can follow others, but they still despise your grandson."
"You old man are jealous, but it's useless to be jealous. This is something you can't envy."
"My grandson will have a bright future. Your grandson is like me. He has a son born out of wedlock before he even gets married. He has no sense of propriety or honor."
The old marquis choked and his face turned pale, "You!"
The mainstay industry of this old man's family is textiles, and he had been eyeing the textile machine improved by his grandson.
If they were more humble and sincerely wanted to buy, they would consider selling some to the Marquis' Mansion.
Now he is being sarcastic and unforgiving towards his grandson. This is a good opportunity for him to refuse to sell the textile machine.
The old marquis's expression changed. "You, you are simply being unreasonable."
He suddenly felt a little regretful that he had just mocked the old guy out of dissatisfaction.
The new textile machine is much faster than the original one, saving not only labor but also time.
If their textile workshop doesn't replace its textile machines, won't it fall behind other companies?
Mr. Xi smiled and said, "I don't like to reason. It's not the first day you've known me."
"Oh, my grandson is so good, I'm going to go back and tell my family to prepare a few tables to celebrate, so I won't waste time arguing with you here."
After he said that, he left with his family, looking smug.
This also made the old marquis with a black face very angry.
When the others saw this, some who were about to say something sarcastic suddenly felt fortunate that they did not say anything, otherwise it would be bad if Mr. Xi took it to heart.
After all, Xi Rui's current status is different from before.
As a result, many families set their sights on Xi Rui, thinking that he could reform himself and make progress, and with the favor of the Duke and the Queen Mother, his future would not be bad.
As a result, Xi Rui became popular in the capital, and many families came to the Xi family to test the waters and try to form a marriage alliance with them.
The Xi family refused on the grounds that Xi Rui was still in North City and they were waiting to ask for his opinion.
Xi family.
The wife of the prince held two newly delivered invitations and said to Xi Xinheng speechlessly: "You don't know that our Rui'er has become a popular girl now."
Xi Xinheng laughed: "This is because I see that Rui'er has a future."
"The old man's decision was absolutely right. Rui'er followed Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to North City, and things have changed for the better."
The Crown Prince's wife glared at him and said, "My son is not a bad person. He just liked to play a little bit in the past."
Xi Xinheng: “…” He is just a playboy and can become the most dissolute playboy in the capital, forget it.
As soon as the Crown Prince's wife saw his appearance, she knew what he was thinking, "My son doesn't go to gambling houses or brothels, he just likes to go out with people to eat, drink and have fun. Isn't this a bit too playful?"
Xi Xinheng laughed, "Yes, you are right."
But it seems to make sense. Although his son is the most dissolute playboy, he is not as greedy for women as the old uncle, nor is he addicted to gambling.
"Those who are trying to get married should be decisively rejected."
The Crown Prince's wife smiled and said, "Do you need to tell me that? Rui'er wrote to me before, emphasizing that I should not help him find a wife."
"I guess he wants to marry Xiao Hanzheng's sister."
"My son has become more motivated and responsible after going to Northern Xinjiang. I think Xiao Baili is a good choice. If it really works out, the young couple can live happily together in the future."
She never had high expectations for her beloved youngest son, as long as he had a happy life in the future.
Xi Xinheng nodded, "I think so too."
Xiao Hanzheng and his wife have made great contributions to his son's academic performance and progress, and Xiao Baili may also have contributed to it.
Of course, they prefer a daughter-in-law who can help their sons succeed.
