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

Chapter 7 I will never leave without gaining anything
The business of Chaojinfang was getting better and better, and the brocade was in short supply. Even though they had tried their best to find as many weavers as possible to cooperate with them, they still could not satisfy all the merchants who came from all over the country.

"Who would have thought that we would have such a day? When I think of those merchants waving silver bills today just to ask for a piece of brocade, I feel proud."

“It’s so beautiful.”

Li Xia's face was full of emotion, and he looked at Yan Chaonian as if he was looking at some rare treasure. "If you don't come up with new tricks, the weaver girl will soon die."

Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "We can't stand still. Not only us, but every family in the city is looking for new and expensive things. We have to go and see the new cotton that our uncle mentioned, and we also have to solve the problem of Zhiniang."

"I have an idea to share with my two uncles."

It is difficult to find skilled weavers without a boss in Rongcheng, so we have to look outside. "It would be great if we can find an experienced one, but it doesn't matter if we can't find one. There are so many villages outside the city and so many skillful girls in the villages. We can recruit them as apprentices."

"We have opened our own brocade school to teach those girls how to weave cloth and brocade for free. Once they come in, they have to sign a document with us. Within ten years after graduation, if the brocade workshop needs them, they are not allowed to go to other places. Of course, they will be paid within ten years, not a penny less than others."

"Do you two uncles think this method is feasible?"

Li Chun and Li Xia looked at each other and after a little thought, they felt that this was feasible. There was a place in the city that specialized in training weavers, but it was not easy to get in and it cost money. After the weavers finished their training, they were sent to various brocade workshops, which had to pay them a certain amount of silver. Moreover, the weavers had different levels of skills, so they had to be taught again when they arrived at the brocade workshops.

It’s so troublesome, I might as well teach myself.

It was difficult to recruit apprentices in the city, so they went to other towns to open schools. The weavers in the southwest made money with their skills. It can be said that as long as a family had a skilled weaver, their life would not be too bad. If the girl who was proposed to be married could weave cloth, or had work in a brocade workshop, many families would be willing to hire her even if the bride price was much higher, so there was no worry about not being able to recruit girls to be apprentices.

"I think this is the deal. We'll work out a charter later. We have our own experienced staff and plenty of capital, so we'll be able to start business soon."

Li Chun made the final decision on the matter and added some paint. Yan Chaonian really didn't have any better idea and could only urge the dyeing workshop to find a solution.

After agreeing to go and see the loom tomorrow, the two were about to leave. Yan's mother came out with her grandson to keep her for dinner. Li Chun said, "The family has already prepared everything. The old man is still waiting for good news. If we go back late, he will get angry again."

The old man of the Li family has the worst temper, so when Yan's mother saw him, she had to be very careful. "Then you should go back quickly. I won't send you off."

Li Xia laughed, "Sister, you are so straightforward. You didn't even try to persuade me to stay?"

Mother Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll stay? You guys eat before you leave?"

Yan Chaonian turned around and ordered his men to close the gate, "Guard the gate tightly, don't let anyone go?"

"You two want to kill us."

Li Xia pulled Li Chun and ran, fearing that if the door closed too quickly and they got out, the old man would break their legs.

Yan Chaonian was laughing happily, and the little kid stretched out his hands for her to hold him. Soon the laughter of the mother and the child could be heard in the yard, and Yan's mother, who was standing beside him, had a smile on her face.

Jiang Wencheng's people inquired for a long time but got no results. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to go back to the inn. At this time, Jiang Chongyuan was copying books while wiping his tears. It was because Jiang Wencheng felt that his son had a lot of problems. Before, he was taken care of by his grandmother and coaxed by his stepmother in the mansion. He was not often at home, so he didn't know much about his eldest son. This time, he brought him out and found that he was a complete waste.

My youngest son, who is not even three years old, is very sensible.

Apart from eating, drinking and shopping, he knows nothing else and his academic knowledge is even worse.

"After copying, you have to memorize it. You can sleep when you can memorize it."

"You don't have your grandmother or your mother here, don't think anyone can protect you."

When he saw the person who came to inquire about the news came back, he left the room, not caring that Jiang Chongyuan's tears had soaked the book.

"Master, we have asked many people, but no one knows the name of the owner of Chaojinfang. They say that she always arrives at Chaojinfang by carriage and leaves through the back door. No one knows where she lives." "The information about Chaojinfang is the same as what we have heard before. It turns out to be the Li family's brocade workshop. The Li family members have bad tempers and offend people. The patterns of the fabrics they weave are not good, and the business is very average."

"Then it was sold to the current owner, who bought many new looms and added many new patterns. The business improved within half a year, and last year we won the first prize in the competition. Customers flocked to us all of a sudden."

"I heard that there is an official behind this, but I haven't found out who it is yet."

Things were more complicated than he had imagined, nor were they as smooth as he had imagined. Jiang Wencheng was a little annoyed, but for now he could only ask people to continue to inquire. Since he was already here, he would never leave without gaining anything.

"Has anyone come here to look for me today?"

He has not forgotten that Yan Chaonian came to admit his mistake. The people below shook their heads and said no. Jiang Wencheng was upset again, thinking that Yan Chaonian was too arrogant. He would have to talk to her properly when she came to him, otherwise it would be troublesome when he returned home.

Jiang Chongyuan couldn't sleep that night. He recited books all night with red and swollen eyes. Yan Chaonian, on the other hand, slept comfortably with his youngest son until dawn. If the little boy hadn't had to pee urgently, he would have slept a little longer.

She didn't know if it was because of the years in Bo's house where she had to get up before dawn to set the rules, which never allowed her to sleep comfortably, but now Yan Chaonian was somewhat self-indulgent. As long as Yuan Shen was not around, she had to sleep until she woke up naturally.

"My dear, did you sleep well last night?"

After peeing, the little kid lay on the bed and played with his feet, and his smile was enough to melt Yan Chaonian's heart.

Hearing the noise in the room, Yan's mother pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her adorable grandson, a smile instantly appeared on her face. "Xun'er, wake up. Did you miss grandma?"

"think."

The little kid was very considerate, he turned over and sat up neatly, opened his arms and asked to be hugged by Yan's mother. Yan Chaonian felt jealous, "He doesn't want his mother anymore when he sees his grandmother."

"Look, our Xun'er's mother is jealous."

Mother Yan held her grandson in one hand, and with the other hand she held her grandson's chubby hand and touched Yan Chaonian's hand, "Let's embarrass her."

The little kid happily jumped onto Yan Chaonian and kissed her on the face. Yan Chaonian's eyebrows flew with joy, "My Xun'er still loves me. He is really my mother's treasure."

The mother and son laughed and played again. Mother Yan took the child over with a smile and asked Yan Chaonian to wash and pack up. When they walked out of the house, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Going out again today?"

"Go and see the loom."

Yan Chaonian was eating breakfast while talking about the next arrangements for the Brocade Workshop. He added, "Most of the things have been handed over to the two uncles, but I am still nominally the junior master of the Brocade Workshop. I must be there in person, otherwise I will have to trouble you, the master master."

Yan Chaonian's brocade weaving skills were inherited from her mother. Both mother and daughter are masters of brocade weaving. The brocade that won the first prize in Chaojinfang last year was made by Yan's mother. But since Yan Chaonian gave birth to her son Yuan Jing, also known as Xiao Xun'er, Yan's mother no longer wanted to touch the loom and only wanted to take care of her grandson.

Yan's mother advised, "Go and worship the Bodhisattva before you go out."

"what?"

Yan Chaonian was puzzled, "I don't have anything to ask of the Buddha?"

Mother Yan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Please pray to the Buddha that you don't meet someone you shouldn't meet."
