The second son, Li Nan, manages the workshop, needless to say. The third son, Li Jun, works in the Xuan paper workshop. However, the last time Erwa went around looking for customers, he got carried away and said he wanted to go with Erwa to sell the workshop's products. He was one of those fifteen people.
She didn't interfere too much. As long as he didn't die, he could wander around as he pleased. Of course, she wouldn't completely ignore him; she would still ask him questions sometimes.
The sons nodded, looking at the silver in their hands. Their mother was really generous. This was the first time they had ever received so much silver from her. Although their mother had a lot of silver, they didn't dare to covet it.
They are very satisfied with their life now that they have a big house to live in and the food is incomparable to what they used to eat. Moreover, their mother said that the money for building the house would not be deducted from their income, but would be given to them by their mother.
Mother doesn't live with them anymore; instead, she has her own house and courtyard. Mother doesn't manage their money and is in charge of the household affairs. Song Shi, in particular, is happier than anyone else.
Although her husband couldn't become a manager because he was illiterate, he did well working at the ice workshop. He received a lot of money in the first two installments. No matter how capable her husband was before, he had never brought her back so much money.
All of this was given by her mother-in-law. Although they hadn't separated the family, it was no different from that, since they lived separately and managed their own finances. How wonderful this was! It was something she had never dared to dream of before.
Tell them to hurry up and pack, then Xia Hua turns and leaves. She goes to the house next door, where Shu Shu's sons are still moving things. It's quite lively. It seems that everyone has already decided who will live there. She doesn't go in, but goes to the house next door instead.
When she entered, the hall inside had already been furnished. In the middle of the hall against the wall was a table with upturned ends, and on both sides were small flower stands, but there were no flowers on them yet. In front of the table was an eight-immortal table, with armchairs on both sides of the table.
On either side of the hall, there were three chairs and two small tables. However, there was nothing on the coffee table. This set of furniture was made by the elders of their clan. Because they didn't make many, the rest of the furniture was bought from Jinnan City. But this set was something that every family had.
Although the house is furnished, there are still too few things. There are no ornaments or anything like that. On both sides are her and Shushu's bedrooms. Going through the moon-shaped arched doorway, there is a round table and four small round stools. By the window is a chaise lounge, and at the far end is a canopy bed. On one side of the bed is a wardrobe, and on the other side is a dressing table.
Because the wardrobes here are too small, when the elders in the clan made them, Shushu asked them to make them bigger and add two more compartments. However, they still didn't make many. They only have two sets here, and they don't know where the others were distributed.
However, everyone will have enough, because they bought quite a lot in Jinnan City. They not only picked it up themselves, but also had the shop owner deliver it to them.
She gave Shushu and Xiao Zili their bed sheets before going back to her own room to put on her own. Before, she and Shushu slept together, and the old bed sheets and blankets were divided between them, placed on the bed, and then covered with a sheet.
Then put the quilt on, followed by the pillow, and place them at one end of the bed. Only then do you put the face wash and toiletries on the cabinet outside the canopy bed, and also put the underwear in the cabinet inside the canopy bed.
This canopy bed is great; you can sleep inside, and there are cabinets on both sides outside where you can put things. It's just a bit troublesome to keep it clean. That's how she arranged her room when she was reading.
Meanwhile, in the next room, An Shuyi finished setting up the bed sheets and duvet covers and started putting away her clothes. She opened the wardrobe, hung the clothes inside on wooden hangers, folded up the ones that couldn't be hung, and put the jewelry that Huahua had bought for her in the dressing table.
This ancient dressing table is also called a dressing box. The original owner had one before, but it was a box. Now she put it in the warehouse. The dressing box is the same as a modern dressing table, but the bronze mirror is not very clear.
After she finished packing, she left the room. Seeing that Hua Hua was still tidying up, she went to the side courtyard on the right, where Xiao Zili lived. Instead of arranging for him to stay elsewhere, she arranged for him to stay in their house.
Although they have many secrets, the Second Prince won't be staying for long, so it's better to keep them under his watchful eye. Otherwise, if his subordinates come looking for them, they won't know even if they're far away.
She had just asked Village Chief Lin to send over a set of furniture and told them to put it away properly, otherwise the Second Prince, with his limp, wouldn't be able to put anything away.
When she arrived, Xiao Zili was not in the hall, but in the bedroom. When she went in, she saw that he was still tidying up his clothes. "You can sit down. I'll take care of those."
She placed the duvet cover and sheets on the bed and hung the clothes in the closet. "If you don't have enough clothes, just tell me and I'll have the workshop make some. They can be done quickly, but they can only make light blue ones."
She still has too few fabric colors here. She needs to take the time to buy more flowers and plants so that there will be more fabrics in the trading system.
"I understand, Auntie, thank you." Xiao Zili sat down and looked at his busy auntie. This time he didn't mention payment, after all, saying more would be empty words, and he would have to wait for his subordinate to find it.
He only has a jade pendant on him now, nothing else, not even a tael or two of silver.
An Shuyi chuckled, "You're welcome!" She then began to make the bed, and after finishing, she fetched water and wiped down the furniture in the room.
"There's water in the side room next door. You can go there to wash up. If there's no water, I'll have the eldest brother fetch some." The water pipes in the house are in the kitchen in the backyard. If other courtyards want water, they have to fetch it themselves. This also prevents others from discovering the water pipes.
It's not far from the backyard, it's just that Xiao Zili can't carry it.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
An Shuyi nodded, "It's all tidied up here. You can rest for a while. Mu Tou will call for dinner. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he left to check on his sons' preparations. As soon as he arrived at the neighboring yard, he found the place bustling with activity.
"Mother, you've finished tidying up there. We were planning to wait until we were done before we went to tidy up for you!" Zhao said, stopping what she was doing when she saw her mother-in-law coming over.
There's too much stuff; they can only move it slowly.
An Shuyi nodded, "I've already packed up there, so I don't need your help. Besides, your village chief has already brought people to deliver the furniture to me. How much do you still need to get ready?"
The eldest son replied, "Mother, there's not much left. It'll be done soon. You can sit down and rest for a while."
"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll look around."
Only after hearing what their mother said did the others continue with their work.
After checking everything, she went to the backyard. There was no doubt that the eldest son lived in the main courtyard. However, surprisingly, the third and fourth sons lived in the front courtyard, one in the east wing and the other in the west wing. Although they also had three rooms, one for entertaining guests and the other two on the side.
