Chapter 278: Which company is better at learning technology?
The mobility of children like Wuning Houfu and Xie Fangyuan is beyond comparison.
The next day, Qin Fu brought a dozen managers and craftsmen into Xie Fangyuan. Following Su Qianqian's instructions, the craftsmen studied the drawings and began the renovation and construction, while the experienced managers prepared the purchase of materials.
Su Qianqian could not waste the elites she had trained. Cai Meng, the owner of Cuiying Building, Mu Tong, the owner of Huarong Pavilion, He Sheng and He An who were assigned to Zhuangzi, and the outstanding students who graduated from Anmin chain training, all joined the recruitment and enrollment work of Lanxiang College.
Mu Tong has always been a quick-witted person. He has run Cuiyinglou very successfully and has become an indispensable beauty professional instructor for the noble ladies of Xijing.
Su Qianqian assigned him a task, and he immediately got ready to start. He first targeted the servants in the houses of the noble ladies, delivering advertisements door to door, and relying on his customer base to recruit talents and students.
Cai Meng originally came into contact with the housekeepers or stewards of each household, and there were also cooks who came to buy things personally. As for He Sheng and He An, they had the most interactions with the village heads and farmhands in the village, and this was their mass base.
Naturally, the three of them would not give in, and they each came up with a way, vowing to let all the people in Xijing City know about this academy.
"To learn skills, which one is the best? Go to Lan Xiang in Luoyingfang. You can work in the living room, the kitchen, ironwork, and embroidery. You have thousands of skills. You go out for a year to support your parents. After three years of learning, you will take on the main responsibility. Do you want to ask for a salary? Don't panic. If you don't have money, we can talk about it. Your teacher will pay for it all in a year..."
Half a month later, children could be heard singing this nursery rhyme in every street and alley.
However, it still attracted a lot of criticism. After all, there had never been a girls' academy in Da Qi, let alone a place where women and men could learn skills together.
So as this nursery rhyme spread more and more widely, the opposition to Xie Fangyuan's name being changed to Lanxiang College became louder and louder, but that is a story for another time.
Su Qianqian returned to the mansion from Xie Fangyuan and went to Fushou Hall to pay her respects to Madam Qin and have dinner. She found that the atmosphere was a little strange and everyone was looking at Qin Yuzhuo vaguely.
Qin Yuzhuo finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why do you always look at me? What does Zhou Jingnan's marriage have to do with me? If he wants to get married, then let him get married. I will prepare a gift for him. I wish him a son soon, a loving couple, and also congratulations that no one will come to our mansion again."
Qin Yuzhuo pouted and said something angrily without even realizing it. She didn't act like she didn't care.
"It's good that you don't care. We have all seen how Jingnan has treated you over the years. Since you are not destined to be together, don't delay his marriage. Don't end up like you did to the girl from the Zhuang family. You will lose your reputation and face in the future."
Mrs. Du replied calmly. The third old lady burst out laughing and looked at her son. Qin Hanjin's face flushed: Why do you always involve me in everything!
"Mom, do you think I'm like my fifth brother? He's blind, but I'm not! If there's a man that suits my taste, I can see!"
Qin Yuzhuo's face rarely showed a shy expression, but after glancing at Su Qianqian, she quickly retracted it:
"I am only seventeen this year. There are many women in Da Qi who get married at the age of twenty. My family can afford to support me. Why do you keep talking about marriage? Isn't it good for me to stay by my mother's side and accompany you more?"
"It would be nice for you to stay with me, but the marriage cannot be delayed. Your marriage must be settled by March next year at the latest. As long as you don't marry far away, you can still see me, and I will be relieved then."
When Mrs. Du said this, her face looked a little depressed. She glanced at Su Qianqian, then looked back at the girls and sighed softly.
The second and third old ladies suddenly understood what Mrs. Du meant. They looked at their daughters and frowned.
[Yes, if the house is really searched, married women will not be held accountable, so getting married is indeed a way to escape death. But what about those girls who are not yet of marriageable age?
They naturally never thought that day would come, so if Qin Yuzhuo still didn't get married by next year, she would be sent to the Jiaofangsi... No, for my own sake I can't let that happen! 】
Su Qianqian came to her senses and wanted to lie down, but fate was unfair. If she didn't struggle, she would die, and it would be a miserable death. As a result, she now has to work overtime and take on two jobs!
She naturally didn't know that her thoughts were heard. The Qin family was sad and moved, and completely ignored the words "it was for her own sake".
After dinner, Su Qianqian stayed to discuss Xin's affairs with Madam Qin and Mrs. Du.
"I don't know what Mian heard, he is listless today. I asked him to accompany his mother, but he is not happy about it. He doesn't mention it, and it's hard to talk about it. I have to wait until this matter is settled, and then slowly persuade him."
Madam Qin sighed. The eldest branch of the Qin family was already small in number, and she treated her two great-grandsons the same as the apple of her eye. She would feel sad if they suffered a little grievance, not to mention that they would be separated from their mother in the future.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We can only be more open-minded and gradually understand things."
Instead, Mrs. Du went to comfort Madam Qin.
"Grandmother, it's rare that Prince Zhou has such noble character. He was interested in my second sister-in-law but he didn't overstep the line. My second sister-in-law has a soft personality but she has a strong temper. She pushed her too hard and ended up losing a life in vain."
Su Qianqian reminded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again that there was no way they didn't know what happened last night.
"Yes, but the Xin family is very conservative. How can we let Jilan get married legitimately?"
Mrs. Du asked hurriedly.
"Tomorrow my wife will go outside to inquire about the Xin family's news. We will have to ask the ladies about the things in the backyard. Anmin Clothing Store is doing well now, and the information we have collected will always be useful."
"Okay, you can arrange this matter." Mrs. Du nodded quickly.
"Mother, if the Xin family remains unmoved, would you be willing to have another daughter?" Su Qianqian asked tentatively with her eyelashes fluttering.
Mrs. Du was startled, then she understood what Su Qianqian meant: "Oh, why didn't I think of this idea? I was worried all night for nothing. Qianqian has more ideas. Of course I am willing. You have been my daughter-in-law for ten years and called me mother for ten years. What's the difference between you and my daughter?"
"Mother is indeed an open-minded person. It is Sister Jilan's blessing to have a mother-in-law like you. Since mother is willing, I will ask the Xin family about their opinion, and then we will recognize our daughter in a big way."
After Su Qianqian finalized the matter, she returned to Tinglan Courtyard. Before falling asleep, she thought of Qin Hanzhang who was on a business trip and would not be back tonight, so she rolled up the quilt and held it in her arms.
On the second day, Su Qianqian did not wear men's clothes. Instead, she wore a narrow-sleeved, cross-collared jacket and skirt with a cloud-water blue satin pattern, and a fox fur cloak of the same color on the outside. She held a hand warmer and got into Qin Hanzhang's exclusive luxury carriage.
"Third sister-in-law, where are we going first?" Qin Yuzhuo had already started to move in the carriage, pressing his joints until they made a "cracking" sound.
