Chapter 616: The Apple of My Eye
"It really is as Mother Liu said. She has been spoiled and is becoming even more unrecognizable."
Su Yujin smiled angrily and asked Shuilan to take out the things she had prepared. "I didn't have time to come back when you got married at the end of last year. Although I asked someone to add makeup to you, it still felt not enough. These are new things I got recently. I thought you might need them, so I brought them back for you. It counts as my addition to your makeup."
If it was an ordinary thing, Ai Cao would have been prepared to refuse, but Su Yujin said it was to add to her makeup, so Ai Cao could not refuse and had to respond, "Thank you, young lady."
Then he went to see what was in the box that Su Yujin had someone carry over.
The finest brocade has elegant colors, a soft texture, and an excellent feel, making it most suitable for making clothes for newborn babies.
Two high-quality ginseng plants are suitable for both nourishing the body and giving as gifts.
Deer antler has the effect of replenishing essence and blood, and can replenish blood and promote lactation, making it very suitable for postpartum use.
A delicate and small jade ruyi can be placed next to the pillow to calm the mind and help sleep...
There were so many things in the box, all of which were of excellent quality and very practical, indicating that they were carefully selected, which was enough to show Su Yujin's intentions.
Ai Cao felt warm in her heart and thanked him again, "Thank you, young lady."
Su Yujin patted the back of Ai Cao's hand and pulled her to sit down to talk.
Feng Yuanhao quickly cooked several dishes and served them on the table one after another. Each one was delicious and mouth-watering.
After taking a few bites, Su Yujin couldn't help but smile knowingly.
She finally understood why Ai Cao didn't eat much after she became pregnant. It wasn't because she didn't eat much, but Feng Yuanhao had already become the worm in her stomach. He had prepared all the food she wanted to eat long ago and didn't give her any chance to eat anything.
Just as Mother Liu said, now that the mugwort has arrived at the Feng family, it has truly fallen into a blessed nest.
The smile on Su Yujin's face deepened.
While eating and chatting, Su Yujin learned from Ai Cao and Liu Mama about their current situation.
In addition to looking after the Princess's Mansion, Mother Liu would occasionally visit Su's.
As for the present-day Su Ji, since Shuangye and Qingkui left one after another, it is now managed by Jingui, and the business is as usual.
In order to prevent Su Ji from having insufficient people, Mother Liu specially bought back a few little girls from innocent families who were capable and skillful. Now, some people get together and help each other with their work, just like a family of sisters.
"The ones I bought with Shuangye and Qingkui are all old now. I can't take care of these things in the capital. When Mama Liu has time, she will help look after them and see if there are any suitable families or people they like. If they are compatible, she will let them go and get married."
Su Yujin said, "If they are still willing to work at Su's after marriage, they will be paid as usual. If they want to follow their husband's family to make a living elsewhere after marriage, I will give them some money. This can be regarded as my dowry money for them, so that they will not have worked so hard with me for so many years."
It was fine when Su Ji's business was on the right track, but in the beginning, all the work needed to be adjusted and things were not straightened out. Several young girls followed her and did trivial things day and night.
Because she is a woman, it is not convenient for her to buy a servant, and these young girls who do business in public are bound to be looked down upon, and there is also the possibility that some unruly hooligans will come to cause trouble.
Although Su Yujin dealt with a few troublemakers at the time and no major trouble occurred, there were always those who were chatterboxes and tried to take advantage of them with words, and a few people could only laugh it off.
In short, no matter how hard it was, she never backed down, and she worked wholeheartedly on the business in the shop without having to worry about it at all.
Su Yujin likes these little girls very much and hopes that they will all have a good home in the end.
"Don't worry, young lady. I know everything." Mother Liu agreed with a smile.
As they have been working together for a long time, Mother Liu naturally hopes that they can all live a good life.
Su Yujin knew the friendship between the subordinates, and she also knew that Mother Liu was cautious and didn't talk much.
Since Ai Cao got married and entered the Feng family last year, she has become the apple of the family's eye and the object of pampering.
Needless to say, Feng Yuanhao was afraid that if he held it in his hands it would break, and if he held it in his mouth it would melt. He wished he could treat Ai Cao with all his heart.
The other members of the Feng family were also reasonable. Seeing Feng Yuanhao like this, they all loved Ai Cao even more.
In addition, Ai Cao has been with Su Yujin for so many years, and she is smart, clever, good at talking and doing things, which makes her more and more liked by everyone.
This year, she is pregnant and is treated like a treasure by everyone.
The more Su Yujin listened, the more satisfied she became, and the smile on her face never ceased.
Feng Yuanhao also talked to Su Yujin about the current situation of the weaving workshop.
The looms in the weaving workshop have been improved twice, and the jacquard machines are more advanced than before. The cloths woven have more patterns and more complicated styles, which are even better than those embroidered by embroiderers.
Feng Yuanhao also invited highly skilled masters to improve the spinning machine again and again. The spinning efficiency has been greatly improved compared to before, and the output has also increased accordingly.
The efficiency and output of weaving have continued to improve, and sales have not fallen behind. Now, with Qinghe as the center, all the counties and cities within a radius of 500 miles buy cloth from here, and even people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas purchase some new patterns from here.
Because of the excellent sales, the previous weaving workshop was no longer sufficient. Even though Feng Yuanhao opened two additional workshops at that time, it was still not enough, so he had to add several more.
Today, there are six weaving workshops in Qinghe County, which employ many people and pay them very generously.
Throughout Qinghe County, skillful weavers and capable men are proud to be able to work in the weaving workshop and Fengji Cloth Shop.
Fengji Cloth Shop and Weaving Workshop are highly respected and prestigious in the entire Qinghe County because they can contribute huge taxes every year.
Su Yujin smiled and said, "I am now a hands-off shopkeeper. I just sit at home and count money every day. Everything else is taken care of by Shopkeeper Feng. Shopkeeper Feng has worked so hard."
"Your Highness, I am really embarrassed by what you said." Feng Yuanhao said hurriedly, "To be frank, this is also our Feng family's own business. It makes money for us when we are busy. And it was only because Your Highness chose our Feng family to cooperate with you that the Feng family was willing to cooperate with you. Otherwise, the Feng family would not be as wealthy as it is today."
