Chapter 183: Very sad But
it can also be considered a celebration.
Perhaps because she was happy and had drunk some wine, Su Yujin went to bed earlier than usual at night.
After Ai Cao helped Su Yujin to sleep, she blew out the lights, closed the door, and then let out a long sigh.
"Everything is fine, why are you sighing?" Mother Liu checked the doors and windows, added a shovel of new charcoal to the heating, and turned on the stove.
The fire of the earth dragon does not have to burn very strongly, it can keep you warm all night long.
"I'm worried." Ai Cao held the still-hot hot water bottle in her hand and sighed again, "Our girl got the indenture and is now a free person. Does that mean that the Second Master doesn't plan to let her enter the He family in the future?"
After all, if the master wants to promote a person to be a concubine, it is easier for him to control her if he has the indenture in his hands.
Now that I've released my bond, it means I don't want to be manipulated anymore...
Mother Liu thought about it and said, "I don't think it's a bad thing. Who knows, the Second Master might have other plans."
"What do you mean?" Ai Cao came closer and lowered her voice deliberately, fearing to wake up Su Yujin who was still sleeping in the room. "Second Master, what do you plan to do?"
Mother Liu fell silent.
Whether the indenture is released or not, it really makes no difference to whether the Second Master raises the girl as his concubine or not.
But for girls, it has two meanings.
Either he would let the girl go, or he would marry her as his legal wife, so he had to give her a clean and free identity.
The He family is a famous family, and the probability of the latter is really low. After thinking about it, the first possibility is probably the most likely.
The Second Master wants to let the girl go...
What will happen to that girl in the future? Seeing that Mother Liu stopped talking, Ai Cao sighed again.
Seeing the girl's relationship with the Second Master growing stronger, the Second Master suddenly did this, and from now on the girl has completely lost her support...
Girl, you really have a hard life.
The expressions of Ai Cao and Mama Liu darkened. After a long silence, Mama Liu finally spoke, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed first."
"We should be happy in front of the girl, so as not to upset her." Mother Liu reminded.
Ai Cao nodded hurriedly, and suddenly remembered that the girl was happy today, asking for food and drinking, but she was probably not really happy, but was just pretending to be in a good mood.
The girl was also very sad...
Because of this incident, Ai Cao tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Here, Su Yujin fell asleep slightly tipsy, and when she woke up she felt relaxed all over. She even drank half a bowl more tofu pudding in the morning than usual, and was even thinking about the stewed pork belly and chicken for lunch.
Sisters Hong Qiuyan and Hong Qiuyue sent their finished looms over. Then news came from Mrs. Li that Feng Yuandong was very interested in opening a weaving workshop and wanted to have a good chat with Su Yujin about cooperation.
In this case, Su Yujin did not delay and made an appointment through Li, and the place was scheduled to be in the private room on the second floor of Huibin Building.
Su Yujin was accompanied by Li, while Feng Yuandong brought his younger brother Feng Yuanhao with him.
"Miss Su's suggestion is very good. My two brothers discussed it briefly and felt that this business is very promising, so we thought about having a good talk with Miss Su about it."
Feng Yuandong said, "I brought my younger brother here today because of the two businesses at home. I manage the tea business, and my younger brother manages the cloth business. He is more experienced in the cloth business. If this business can be established with Miss Su, my younger brother will be mainly responsible for managing it."
It was the first time Feng Yuanhao met Su Yujin. He bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Su. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
"Hello, Second Young Master Feng." Su Yujin bowed, "Second Young Master Feng is too modest. I definitely don't know as much as you do about the business of the workshop. I have to rely on you more in this business."
"I also have this idea about the weaving workshop, but it's just a concept. If we really want to set it up, Second Young Master Feng will have to think about all the details."
Mrs. Zhou had mentioned this before, that if the two families cooperated, Su Yujin would provide the loom technology and half of the silver, and the Feng family would provide the other half to manage the daily operations of the weaving workshop, and the profits would be split in half.
Su Yujin said that he, Feng Yuanhao, would take care of it. This was both a humble statement and a true statement. Feng Yuanhao stopped being humble and just smiled and nodded slightly. "As for opening a workshop, my Feng family has an empty house in the county town. We only need to renovate it and it can be directly converted into a workshop."
"As for the loom, my family has also hired some craftsmen, and we will ask outside carpenters to make some of the parts. When the time comes, we can let reliable people assemble them, and the loom technology will not be leaked out."
"For weaving craftsmen, we should give priority to selecting those who have signed the indenture to learn. If there are not enough workers, we should recruit them as long-term workers. The contract should be signed in writing to avoid any trouble."
"Spinning is easy. Spinning machines are readily available and there are many people who can do it. There is no need to worry about cotton. My family has several decent farms and produces a lot of cotton every year. In previous years, we shipped it to other places to sell for money. This year, because the price of cotton is not high, we originally planned to sell it to the south after the New Year, so we kept it in the warehouse and can use it at any time."
"The weaving pattern can be adjusted at any time. Find a few smart people to tinker with the loom, and then leave the wiring and color matching to them. The only thing left is selling the woven cloth..."
Feng Yuanhao paused and said with a smile, "We have quite a few cloth shops at home, so it's not difficult to sell them together with the goods from Songjiang. The sales volume is estimated to be good. But since we want to open this weaving workshop, we think that this cloth should have a reputation. Let the people in Qinghe County recognize the cloth woven by our workshop. Only then can this weaving workshop make a name for itself and last long."
"Second Young Master Feng is absolutely right."
After listening to Feng Yuanhao for a while, Su Yujin saw that he had explained several key points clearly, which showed that he was prudent and experienced in business. She had a very good impression of him and thought he was an excellent partner. She nodded and praised him repeatedly, and even suggested, "The loom is currently placed at home, and we have to ask you two to go and take a look at it first."
Whether the business can be successful depends on whether the loom is usable.
"please."
Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao followed Su Yujin and Li to Shuanggui Lane and went to Su Yujin's home to see the loom.
Ai Cao demonstrated how to use the loom and even wove cloth for half an hour straight, allowing Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao to see the output of the loom.
After reading it, the two brothers nodded repeatedly, and discussed with Su Yujin in detail about the cooperation in the weaving workshop. They talked until the sun set, and then the two Feng brothers said goodbye and left.
