After being divorced for three years, the bad husband brought his son to ask for forgiveness

Chapter 12: So embarrassed, I want to go see
The sunset glowed unwillingly into the clouds, the sky gradually darkened, and lights were lit everywhere in the garrison.

The frustrated Li Xia didn't understand what Yan's mother and Yan Chaonian had to worry about. In his opinion, such a good opportunity should be used to kill Jiang Wencheng and his son directly to get revenge!

Mother Yan felt that if she didn't make things clear today, this bastard would definitely get into trouble, so she spoke up, "I'm not trying to boost others' morale and destroy my own prestige, but you had to bow and scrape when you saw the county magistrate before. He is a noble manor, what can you do when you come to his house?"

"Will all the servants and guards in the mansion give you the chance to take action? Your brother-in-law is also a fifth-rank official, but he can be reduced to nothing with just one word from him. His whole life will be wasted. Can you do it?"

Li Xia opened her mouth, then closed it unwillingly. Mother Yan continued, "Yuan Shen gave you face, and you thought he was easy to talk to. But if he didn't give you face, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the garrison. Chaojinfang would have to close in three days. That's the truth."

"Think about the situation of the Li family without Yuan Shen!"

What situation?
Before his brother-in-law became an official, the family was in a difficult situation. He had seen the old man bowing and scraping to officials many times. But after Yan's father rose to power, the Li family's life became better. Later, with the establishment of the Bo Mansion, there were almost no officials who made things difficult for them.
The Bo Mansion is gone, Yan's father fell, and the Li family also suffered misfortune.
"Sister, you know I have no ill will towards Nian Nian. I'm not an old man. I just feel bad for her being bullied for so many years. You didn't see that monkey kid, he was so arrogant even though he only had clothes on. I wanted to rush in and pull off his pants and beat him up."

Yes, Li Xia pretended to go in early in the morning to look for someone and saw the whole excitement. The father and son of the Jiang family were so miserable. She shouldn’t have lifted his quilt!
You should just pour a basin of cold water on him and freeze him into an ice bar.

Yan's mother forbade him to get involved in this matter again. No matter how bad Jiang Wencheng's character was, he was still an uncle. "Don't bring disaster to my son-in-law."

"You were a good garrison lady back then, and you are not ashamed to be seen by others. Why do you want to hide this from the outside world?"

In the past two days, Yan's mother has thought about it carefully. Although Yan Chaonian has no relationship with the Bo Mansion, there is still a Jiang Chongyuan in the Jiang family. The Jiang family will not want to see Yan Chaonian remarry, which is not a good thing for Jiang Chongyuan.

Jiang Wencheng was blinded by love at the time, but three years later he understood the interests involved and that's why he let her Niannian go back.

Yuan Shen is at the most critical moment of his career. If Jiang Wencheng intends to suppress him, it is hard to say whether he will succeed, but he can certainly cause some trouble.

"It's best not to let Jiang Wencheng know that Nian Nian is married, and have less contact with him in the future."

Although Li Xia is straightforward, he is not stupid. He can understand if you explain it clearly to him. He feels helpless in his heart, and thinks that he should support his nephew's son-in-law at all costs, preferably to the point where he can crush Jiang Wencheng. Just imagine how uncomfortable it must be for the Li family to have such an outstanding nephew's son-in-law and have to hide him.

Yan Chaonian simply washed his hands and dusted off the dust, then walked back and said, "I decided to go take a look."

Before Li Xia could object, she expressed her thoughts, "Since they all know that I am in Jinfang and know to wait for me in Jinfang, they will find out more information sooner or later. After all, they are people of some status. When the time comes, the people from the government will directly come to Jinfang. Can Jinfang still say that they don't know?"

"Instead of them constantly asking about me, I might as well take the initiative to stand up and not be too passive."

Yan's mother had something to say, and Li Xia was worried, but Yan Chaonian had already decided, "I will go to Jinfang early tomorrow morning, deliberately let his people wait for me, and then follow him to the inn naturally. Don't worry, I can't give him the money. He is so embarrassed, I also want to go and see."

Yan's mother thought about it and decided not to object. She believed that Yan Chaonian could handle the situation. Li Xia wanted to object, but there was nothing he could do because his niece would not listen to him.

"Second uncle, we have to be very careful with Doujin. We have to entertain the merchants well. With such a big stall, we have to be able to sell all the cloth after it comes out."

With more weavers, the scale of the brocade shop will naturally be expanded. With more people, there will be more work, and more merchants will be needed, so we can't be careless. Li Xia was also very clear about the business, saying that they had agreed with all the merchants who placed orders that after the brocade competition, Chaojinfang would set up a banquet to thank the merchants who came from afar.

"It's a pity that we don't have a garden in the city, and we don't have a place to entertain everyone."

Yan Chaonian was also thinking about this problem. Their tea garden had produced the first batch of new tea this year, but it was not well-known and could not be sold at a good price. If they hadn't brought some to the merchants,
and many more.

"Uncle, come inside and talk. I have something to discuss with you."

In the beginning, brocade was controlled by the imperial court, and the amount each family could contribute was limited. It was difficult for ordinary people, no matter how rich they were, to get one. But after the imperial court relaxed its control over brocade a few years ago and people were able to buy and sell it on their own, the people of Chengdu, who originally made a living by weaving brocade, completely revived.

First, dozens of brocade workshops of all sizes were opened within a year, and then the scramble for weavers began, followed by a fight for cotton and silk. Everyone wanted to get the best weavers and the best silk and cotton threads. Silkworm farmers also became active, with every village raising silkworms and every family planting mulberry trees. As silkworms devoured the land, mulberry leaves once became a way for farmers to get rich.

Later, some people began to occupy mountains and enclose land to open mulberry gardens and set up silkworm farms in order to be self-sufficient.

The Li family caught up with the good times and bought the hilltop and planted mulberry trees. Unfortunately, they were still a step too late. The location was not good. Unlike other manors, they could not build houses inside to entertain merchants as they were close to the city.

"Send tea? You're not selling it?"

The Li family not only planted mulberry trees on the hilltop they bought, but also planted tea trees. The silkworm manure was used as fertilizer to feed the tea trees. The tea trees grew well and the tea leaves were also good. The Li family also planned to sell the tea to make money.

"I've thought about it. With so many tea trees, how much good tea can be produced?"

Yan Chaonian had thought about it and fried all the tea leaves. He then specially made a batch of tea cans with the Chaojinfang logo. "Each can has two taels of tea, and the corresponding amount will be given away according to the amount of the order."

Before she could finish, Li Xia slapped her thigh fiercely, "I understand, you want to use tea to hook those merchants. Our tea is good, but we don't sell it. If you want our tea, you have to buy our cloth, right?"

Yan Chaonian smiled and joked, "Second uncle is really the smartest person in our family."

Li Xia smiled smugly first, then glared at her when he realized what was happening. "It seems you are not a coward anymore. You even dare to make fun of my second uncle."

After all, the two of them are only a few years apart in age, so they talk without much hesitation and actually get along quite well.

"I'll go back and discuss it with my grandfather and uncle. The tea business isn't a big problem. We still have to find a way to build a garden, or a farm not far from the city. Anyway, we have money now, so we can just invest in some property."

Li Xia put one hand on her waist, still worriedly admonishing Yan Chaonian, "Take it easy when you go to see your ex-husband tomorrow. Yuan Shen is on his way back. Be careful that he might break your legs when he comes back."

Yan Chaonian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't slander him. When has he ever taken action?"
