Wen Jing went to work, and Murong Shu took Enen and the little prince to his own courtyard.
The Second Lady, as the head of the Wen family, also went there. Firstly, she was afraid her sister-in-law would be too tired as she had just become pregnant, and secondly, she could not be careless about the little prince's affairs and had to make proper arrangements.
The courtyard where Wen Jing and Murong Shu live is the best courtyard in the Wen Mansion. Don’t ask why. The reason is that our former yandere Third Young Master Wen is favored.
Murong Shu asked Xiao Tao and the nanny to clean up a few rooms for the little prince and his servants to live in, and asked Madam Wen Er to find someone to build a desk for the little prince.
The blueprints drawn by Murong Shu himself were simple and easy to understand, and Madam Wen Er liked them very much. "Shu'er, I want to make a set for En En as well. This is so cute."
After hearing Second Madam's words, Murong Shu instantly saw a business opportunity. "Second sister-in-law, tell me, if I take this out to sell, will anyone buy it?"
Madam Wen was stunned when she heard this, and then she thought it was wonderful. "This set of tables and chairs is small and cute, with a novel shape. If someone sells it, I will definitely buy it for my child."
"Then, second sister-in-law, how about we cooperate in this business?" Murong Shu decided to get the second wife and the first wife to join in. After all, she only gave ideas, and the rest of the things needed people to execute.
My eldest and second sister-in-law are both very capable. I don’t have to worry about accounting. The key is that their husbands can also serve as free labor, so I can kill two birds with one stone.
"Second sister-in-law, I will draw more drawings. We need to find a reliable master to cooperate with us to ensure that these drawings will not leak out." Murong Shu fears plagiarism the most.
"Shu'er, this isn't difficult. My eldest uncle's eldest daughter-in-law's younger brother has never liked studying since he was young. He just likes to tinker with these things. My eldest cousin's father has been sick for many times because of this. I've seen the little gadgets he made. They are very exquisite. Why don't we go and ask him?"
The person recommended by Second Madam Wen was Chu Ming, the younger brother of Wen Meng's eldest son and his wife. He came from a family of scholars, but he turned out to be such an outlier. Lord Chu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood every day.
"Okay, it's nothing serious anyway. If you don't want to go, we can go there now." The children are all taken care of by special people, so there is no need to worry.
"I'll go with my sister-in-law, and let Xiaotao stay behind to take care of things." Madam Wen decided to accompany Murong Shu.
"Let's go and talk to our sister-in-law. After all, she is also our partner." Murong Shu said with a smile.
"Of course. It doesn't matter if you're pregnant. You can let your husband do it for you." Apparently the two sisters-in-law thought of the same thing. They looked at each other and laughed out loud.
As the two had expected, Madam Wen felt that she was about to give birth and would not be able to help, so she took the dividends from her younger brothers and sisters-in-law for nothing. However, when the Second Madam said, "You still have an older brother," the First Madam agreed immediately.
After coming out of the eldest lady's courtyard, Madam Wen took Murong Shu directly to the main house of the Mu family.
When Madam Wen and Murong Shu came over, the eldest sister-in-law Chu happened to be in the yard of Aunt Wen Jing. When the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law heard that Murong Shu and Madam Wen were coming, they quickly invited them in.
"How come you have time to come and visit your aunt today?" The old lady was very happy and entertained the two of them warmly.
"To be honest, aunt, my second sister-in-law and I have something to ask my eldest sister-in-law for help." Murong Shu didn't like beating around the bush and always spoke directly.
"What are you talking about, kid? We are all family. If you have something to say, just talk about it. Why do you need help?" Ever since Murong Shu cured his aunt's legs, his position in his aunt's heart has been directly ahead of Wen Meng.
"Yes, sister-in-law, just tell me if you need my help." The eldest cousin's sister-in-law, Mrs. Chu, agreed with her mother-in-law's words. Although the families did not live in the same courtyard, their relationship was very harmonious.
"Shu'er wanted to make a rare thing, but couldn't find the right person. So Second Sister-in-law recommended Master Chu, the brother of First Sister-in-law, to me. So Shu'er came to ask First Sister-in-law for help."
When Murong Shu said these words, he stepped forward and took Chu's arm, asking for help very sincerely. Chu was a little moved, because her brother had never been valued so much by anyone.
"Whenever Shu'er wants it, I'll ask Brother Ming to come over." Chu knew how difficult it was for her brother Chu Ming. It was rare that someone appreciated his craftsmanship, and her brother must be very happy.
"Cousin, don't you need to discuss this with Mr. Chu?" Murong Shu was afraid that Chu Ming would not be available.
"No need to discuss it. Brother Ming also studies these things in the yard every day." Chu felt that her brother would definitely be happy.
"Then please ask my cousin's wife to notify Mr. Chu to come to the house this afternoon. I drew the blueprint myself and let's see if it can be made." Murong Shu also wanted to see Chu Ming's craftsmanship to see if he was qualified enough to become his partner.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll bring brother Ming to find you when he comes. You're newly pregnant, so if there's anything, just send someone to tell me. You don't have to come in person."
Knowing that Murong Shu had fainted, everyone in the Wen family was very caring towards her. In Chu's view, this was just a trivial matter.
Because of some matters at home, Murong Shu and Madam Wen did not stay too long. After returning, Murong Shu drew the drawings of a chaise longue and a recliner, preparing to see if they could be made when Chu Ming came over in the afternoon.
The Chu family was very quick. As soon as Murong Shu and Madam Wen left their house, the Chu family sent someone to the Chu house to inform their younger brother Chu Ming.
When Chu Ming heard that it was his sister who asked him to make something, he hurried over after lunch. Over the years, his sister was the only one in the family who supported and believed in him.
Murong Shu had just finished lunch when Chu brought Chu Ming to his house. Murong Shu didn't expect them to come so early.
"Cousin, Mr. Chu, please come in and sit down." Murong Shu invited the two of them to come in and sit down, and Xiao Tao helped to make tea.
"Brother Ming heard that what you made was novel, so he hurried over. I hope I didn't disturb your sister-in-law." Chu felt a little embarrassed. She and her brother seemed to have arrived a little early.
"Thank you for your hard work, cousin and Mr. Chu. Xiaoju, go get the blueprints from the box under the dressing table and show them to Mr. Chu."
Xiaotao went to make tea, and Murong Shu asked Xiaoju to get the blueprint. Chu Ming was a little nervous, afraid that he could not make what Murong Shu needed.
Murong Shu saw that Chu Ming was nervous, so he deliberately found some light-hearted topics to talk to Chu, so the atmosphere was not too awkward.
Xiaoju brought the drawings quickly. Murong Shu signaled Xiaoju to show the drawings directly to Chu Ming. Chu Ming carefully took the drawings and opened them. He was very excited and surprised.
"Madam, this is what you want to make. I have never seen such a design before. It is really wonderful!"
For Chu Ming, these things are very novel and he also wants to try them. It would be such a happy thing if he could make them himself.
"Mr. Chu, are you sure?" Murong Shu knew from Chu Ming's expression that he could do it.
"Chu Ming will definitely do his best." Chu Ming promised.
"However, these drawings..." Murong Shu said halfway. Chu Ming thought that Murong Shu was afraid that the drawings would be spread out, so he quickly assured her: "Madam, rest assured, Chu Ming will never spread them out."
