Chapter 378 Want to go home
The gifts from the Lou brothers were sincere, so Su Yujin didn't hesitate to accept them all.
While drinking tea and chatting, I mentioned Xiaoguai's future destination.
"Of course he wants to go back to the capital with me." Lou Yanlin said, "But since Xiaoguai drifted to Qinghe, he has been well taken care of by Lord Ye and Huzi and others. He wants to spend the New Year here, so he plans to spend the New Year here before returning to the capital."
"Actually..." Lou Yanlin paused and said with a smile, "Xiaosong and I are interested in going back home."
"Go home?" Su Yujin was stunned.
Lou Yanlin and Xiaoguai escaped from the poisoning, but both of them nearly died. This shows how fierce the fight in the Lou family was. Now they are going back home...
"Yes." Lou Yanlin nodded. "The Lou family has a huge fortune. Xiaosong and I are the legitimate sons and grandsons. The fortune that our family deserves is now occupied by our uncles. We are really unwilling to accept this."
"Although Xiaosong and I have no intention of snatching others' things, we must get our share. Moreover, a lot of it is the result of our parents' hard work, and we cannot let them down."
"Before, I was young and didn't know how powerful they were. I didn't have any foundation, so I couldn't compete with them. Now, after wandering around for so long, I have a lot of savings and many people to use. I should gain something when I go back this time."
Even if there isn't any, we can't let those people live easily and happily.
Su Yujin was silent for a moment, then said, "This is your family affair, just make a plan for it, brothers."
Everyone has their own aspirations. Some people may choose to avoid those conflicts of interest and live a leisurely and secluded life, while others have strategic ambitions and want to achieve their own wishes.
Either way, it is a personal choice and cannot be judged as right or wrong.
"But there will definitely be many difficulties and obstacles on this journey, so you need to be careful." Su Yujin reminded him with some worry, "Although the poison in Shopkeeper Lou's body has almost been cured, you still need to take good care of yourself and use the medicine according to the prescription."
"In addition, I usually prepare some detoxification pills here. Although they cannot cure all poisons, and may not be able to completely cure poison if you really encounter it, they can protect yourself and avoid fatal consequences. You should prepare some in case of an emergency."
Su Yujin asked Ai Cao to take out several small porcelain bottles and introduced to Lou Yanlin and Xiaoguai the effects of the pills in the various bottles.
After returning to the Lou family, I was able to predict and prevent other things, but this poison is sometimes difficult to identify and even harder to guard against.
Having these things is truly a lifesaver.
Lou Yanlin and Xiaoguai thanked them again.
It was getting late, so Su Yujin invited Lou Yanlin and Xiaoguai to have lunch.
"Sister Su is so kind, I shouldn't have refused, but I have an appointment with Brother Huzi and the others to have dinner at Huibinlou today, so I have to decline."
Xiaoguai smiled and said, "When you have time, come to Sister Su's place to have a meal."
The Lou Yanlin brothers were going to spend the New Year in Qinghe and would stay for a while after the New Year. They would have many days together in the future, so Su Yujin did not force them to stay and just sent them out.
In the afternoon, Feng Yuanhao came to Su Yujin's house to talk about the business situation of the weaving workshop and also gave her the dividends.
The sales of silk cotton cloth were very good, the jacquard loom was further improved, the output was excellent, and there were many more patterns than before. Many merchants from the twenty or so prefectures and county towns nearby, and even from the county towns, centered on Qinghe, came to purchase goods.
Seeing that sales were increasing, the output of the weaving workshop was not enough, so Feng Yuanhao discussed with Su Yujin about opening another weaving workshop.
Firstly, if we open one more workshop, the production will increase, which can meet the needs of more customers and make more money.
Secondly, weaving workshops need to be fireproof, theft-proof and anti-robbery. Dividing the workshop into two locations can also increase the ability of some weaving workshops to deal with risks.
Since Feng Yuanhao had this idea in mind, he had already figured out the venue, personnel, and even the various textile tools needed, as well as the warehouse for storing cotton and cloth. He even made a list and drew a rough blueprint and showed it to Su Yujin.
Feng Yuanhao's consideration was thoughtful, and Su Yujin nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Since the county lord also agrees to this, I will start making arrangements after the New Year and try to start work when the weather warms up." Feng Yuanhao said with a smile.
When doing business, it is better to start early rather than late so that you can earn money as soon as possible.
"Okay." Su Yujin did not object at all and asked, "Did the Fan family come to cause trouble again during this period of time?"
Fan Rongxian, the head of the Fan family at that time, regarded the weaving workshop and even the Feng family as his mortal enemies because of conflicts of interest in business, and used many shady tricks both overtly and covertly.
The Fan family has been doing business for many years and has a strong foundation. It is almost the end of the year, and it is the time to sell goods everywhere. Su Yujin is a little worried that the Fan family will cause trouble again, causing the Feng family to suffer losses.
Speaking of this, Feng Yuanhao laughed, "Fan Rongxuan is a vicious person. Seeing that our weaving workshop is doing so well, he suppressed us everywhere and even hired robbers to cause trouble on the road. Fortunately, my brother and I took precautions, so they didn't succeed."
"At that time, several robbers were captured and handed over to Lord Ye for disposal. Lord Ye brought them to the Jingzhao Yin and demanded severe punishment for the Fan family's ringleader. In order to protect Fan Rongxuan, the Fan family pushed two stewards out to take the blame and paid a lot of silver. Only then was the matter temporarily put to rest."
"My eldest brother and I went to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce to negotiate the matter in the name of the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce. The Fan family was also reprimanded by the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and was warned not to do such a thing again. Otherwise, they would take back their position as industry managers."
"Although the Fan family's foundation was not affected this time, the Fan family lost face and Fan Rongxuan was scolded by the Fan family. I heard that the Fan family is now quite dissatisfied with him and has taken back many of the businesses he managed. Fan Rongxuan is currently busy fighting for power and profit with his brothers at home and has no time to care about anything else."
"After this incident, many eyes are watching this matter. If there is any problem in our weaving workshop in the future, others will think of the Fan family. Fan Rongxuan will not dare to cause any more trouble in the short term."
Su Yujin nodded repeatedly after listening to this. "This incident can be regarded as a warning to others. If there are people like the Fan family who have other ideas, they will probably give up the idea and do business peacefully."
"That's exactly the point." Feng Yuanhao said with a smile, "Besides, there is one more thing I want to tell you, Lord."
Feng Yuanhao glanced at Ai Cao beside him, his cheeks slightly reddened, "I discussed this with my elder brother, and I also want to ask the county lord, is it okay to send the betrothal gift after the 18th day of the first lunar month?"
Although when they came to propose marriage, both Su Yujin and Ai Cao had agreed to it and agreed on a two-year term.
It's a new month, and I'm asking for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month~ I'm crying because the author is still writing despite having a stomachache... Chronic gastritis is really troublesome (End of this chapter)
