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

Chapter 25 Second Uncle Shouldn't Dislike You
Yuan Shen's proposal was immediately supported by the Li brothers, but Yan Chaonian did not want Yuan Shen to confront the people from Jinyesi directly.

"Jinfang is under the jurisdiction of Jinyesi. If Jinyesi needs anything, Jinfang should support it. And no matter where you are, it is taboo to use a big Buddha to suppress a big mountain. I will go."

"My uncle is going with me, not to quarrel."

When it comes to Yuan Shen, she always has more considerations, "If you want Jin to be sent to the capital, I have something more suitable for you."

Yuan Shen did not want brocade, he just wanted the brocade shop. As a general leading troops in battle, the best gift for him to send to the capital was the helmet of the enemy leader. He really did not need to send a piece of brocade to please the empress dowager.

The matter was settled. Half an hour later, Yan Chaonian, after dressing up again, put on her veil and went to the Jinye Division with Li Chun.

Li Xia, who stayed behind, was severely scolded by Yan's mother, who said that he was already old but still not stable, and that he became arrogant and did foolish things after being flattered.

Li Xia didn't dare to say anything, and finally muttered, "Brother, isn't this also confused?"

Yan's mother glared at him again, and then she obediently took her nephew to play.

Yuan Shen began to deal with military affairs. The southwest region was complicated and he did not have much time to rest.

Two incense sticks later, Yan Chaonian arrived at the Jinye Division. Upon learning that she had come, Lord Xu of the Jinye Division had a guilty look in his eyes. What they had done yesterday was indeed not fair. They had just asked casually and had not expected the Li brothers to be so straightforward. It was all unreal.

When I woke up this morning, I guessed that the abbot might not agree, and sure enough he came.

"This year, the brocade submitted by your shop has once again won the first prize. Congratulations. What is the purpose of your visit today, Master?"

Yan Chaonian asked Li Xia to bring the tea can and said with a smile: "The Chaojinfang can be what it is today thanks to the advice of the Jinyesi. Good things don't come in pairs. There are many brocade weaving workshops in the city, and skilled weavers are springing up like mushrooms after rain. It is a pleasant surprise to win the championship again."

"I came here today because my tea garden has produced some tea, and I sent it to the officials of the Jinye Division to taste."

The tea can was placed next to Lord Xu. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he forced a smile and asked Yan Chaonian to sit down. "The skills of the weavers in your workshop are so exquisite that I never expected it. You deserve to win the championship again."

After sitting down, Yan Chaonian and Lord Xu talked about the next plan for the Brocade Workshop, which was to expand and open brocade weaving classes in several towns. "First, to prepare more weavers for the Brocade Workshop so that it can grow stronger, and second, to bring the skills to more people to make a living."

Lord Xu nodded repeatedly, saying that their idea was correct and promised that Jinyesi would give them support as long as they needed it.

"Thank you, sir."

Yan Chaonian praised all the brocade workshops in Chengdu again, with the emphasis on the Brocade Industry Bureau. "With the Brocade Industry Bureau and Lord Xu here, our brocade in the southwest will surely prosper."

"My father has an old friend in the capital. He wrote to say that our brocade from the southwest is very popular in the capital. It is highly sought after by everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people. Even the nobles in the palace love it. Some people even sent people to the southwest to find excellent brocade to present to the dignitaries."

Although she was talking about the splendor of southwestern brocade, Lord Xu understood what she meant. Her father also knew people in the capital, and he came for that piece of brocade.

"You said so. Our Southwest Brocade is indeed qualified to compete with the world's famous brocades. Apart from other things, the brocade you won is extremely colorful. The families in Tonghai section don't weave much. It's not that they don't know how to weave, but they are afraid that the pattern and color can't be overwhelming. Your brocade is really exquisitely crafted, with a dark background and gold patterns. Who can see it without saying that it is rich and noble?"

"I was busy drinking yesterday, and some things were not made clear. I thought of sending the brocade to the capital, to the palace, and to the Queen Mother in the name of the Brocade Industry Bureau, so that the Queen Mother can know the luxury and extraordinaryness of our Southwest brocade."

"Our Jinye Division will inform all the brocade workshops in the southwest of this matter, calling on them to emulate Chaojinfang and make Chaojinfang a banner of our southwest brocade. To this end, we will allow the brocade workshops to select one person to work in the Jinye Division to contribute to the future of southwest brocade." "How?"

Yan Chaonian stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Chaojinfang has been able to achieve what it has today thanks to the care of Jinyesi. Thank you for your respect, sir. From now on, Chaojinfang will follow the lead of sir Xu."

"But the Lord wants to send brocade to the capital, and one piece may not be enough. We are willing to provide two more pieces."

Li Chun's legs were shaking with excitement. The Jinye Division was a legitimate government office. Was anyone in the Li family going to get a government job?
Lord Xu smiled and said, "I know the brocade from Chaojinfang. The owner is willing to send two more pieces. That's great. The Brocade Industry Department will also contact each family to collect ten pieces and send them to the capital together."

What followed was naturally a pleasant conversation. Before leaving, Lord Xu instructed Yan Chaonian to select the candidate as soon as possible and send him to the Jinye Division. Next month, the Jin market will be more lively than this month, and people from the imperial court will also come by then, so they should be received together.

After returning to the garrison, Li Chun first drank two glasses of water. Li Xia kept asking about the results. After Li Chun calmed down, he told him. Li Xia was shocked, "My dear, can there be such a benefit?"

Turning around, he looked at Yan Chaonian, who had a calm expression on his face. "How did you do that? I thought you were going to have a fight. You didn't, did you?"

Yan Chaonian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Am I that kind of person?"

Li Chun told Li Xia everything Yan Chaonian had said since he entered the room. The more Li Xia listened, the more confused he became. "I never heard him asking for benefits from the beginning to the end. Could it be that the people from Jinye Division were going to give this benefit anyway?"

Li Chun thought his brother was extremely stupid. "When I get back, I'll tell you everything. You just need to remember that if you go, there's a high probability that you won't get any benefit and will be beaten out."

Li Xia scratched his head, "Niannian, my second uncle shouldn't dislike you."

What's wrong with being a coward? A coward can do business.

He is not a coward, but he really can't do it.

Yan Chaonian was helpless, "Can you please not talk about the past? Everyone can make mistakes."

"That's right. I'm so good every year. Don't talk about her anymore."

Father Yan came back, wearing a short suit. Although he was dressed like a farmer, he could not hide his elegance. He was in his early forties, but he still looked young.

Yan's mother was very disgusted, "I thought I would live in the tea garden for the rest of my life."

"Isn't the tea garden done yet?"

As he was about to reach out to hug his darling grandson, little Xun'er smiled and threw himself into his arms, calling out "Grandpa" in a crisp voice.

"Oh, grandpa's darling grandson, how can he be so well behaved and call so clearly, so smart."

The grandfather and grandson were very close. Yan's mother said she couldn't bear to watch it. She said she was disgusted but still asked someone to prepare hot water. When she saw that Yan's father had lost weight, there was a flash of heartache in her eyes.
