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

Chapter 8 She Met a Mad Dog
Yan Chaonian finally went to worship the Buddha, not for Jiang Wencheng, but for her husband who was already on his way back.

When leaving the house, Yan's mother taught her grandson to say goodbye to her.

Today, Yan Chaonian was still dressed in the simple attire of a weaver girl, and she did not attract attention in the crowd. The guards who protected her also mixed in the crowd, following her not far away.

As for why she went out without a carriage, it was because the weaving industry in the southwest was flourishing and many women were able to support their families, so women in the southwest were more free.
The second reason is because of Yuan Shen.

The southwest is prosperous but there are also many tribes, and there are spies from other countries mixed in. As the garrison commander of the southwest, Yuan Shen should not need to lead troops to fight, but I don't know what his superiors are thinking. In short, Yuan Shen has heavy responsibilities and naturally there are many dangers. As his family members, they cannot be high-profile.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has to maintain a mysterious identity in Chaojinfang. The more mysterious it is, the more people will speculate about it, and giving it various colors will be very helpful to business.

After walking for about two incense sticks, she arrived at the back door of the brocade workshop. The doorman saw her coming and greeted her with a smile, "Master Yan is here?"

"Well, the loom has arrived?"

"We've arrived. The chief steward and the second steward are inside."

"understood."

They arrived at the place with familiarity. All the newly arrived looms were properly placed. A weaver was trying them out. Li Chun waved at her, "Come and take a look, Yan. There are two types of looms here today. Both are improved compared to last year's looms."

Seeing the happy look on his face, I knew that the new loom must be good.

Yan Chaonian went forward to take a closer look, and Li Chun introduced, "It is said that this loom can produce nine feet of cloth in one hour by an experienced worker. Li Sanniang is trying it out now."

"Take a look at this jacquard machine. It can be used for up to 80 steps, which means it can produce a piece of brocade in 80 days. If you are more skillful and focused, it can be done in 60 days. The key is that one person can operate it."

As he spoke, he squatted down and moved the pedals. "But the eighty-foot loom cannot produce more complex and magnificent patterns. That still requires a flower loom."

Not every weaver can work on a Hualou loom. Not only does she need to be highly skilled, but she also needs to be good at arithmetic. She needs to weave the pattern, accurately calculate the size of the pattern and the length of each part, and also calculate the vertical and horizontal density and the intertwining of each pattern. Any negligence will result in all the previous efforts being wasted.

After so many years of operating their brocade workshop, there are only about ten people who can use the looms in the flower building. Although the exquisite and elegant jacquard brocade is expensive, it is really rare.

Yan Chaonian tried it and said that if the multi-step loom could reach 100 steps, it would be able to produce more patterns. "Ask if it works. I got a few pattern books and made some improvements. If it reaches 100 steps, there will be a lot more patterns, and the brocade will be finer."

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Chun fiddled with the loom and asked several weavers to try each loom. If it was not suitable, they had to adjust it. Other weavers asked Yan Chaonian to take a look at the problems they encountered. "Look, why does my warp always break? I have checked it several times and there is no problem."

"Lower the heald frame and see."

"Master Yan, look at my pattern. Why is it skipping? Is it because the starch water is not applied properly? My heald frame is adjusted just right."

"I'll take a look."

Yan Chaonian looked at them one by one. They were all minor problems that were not serious and could be fixed with a little adjustment.

The rest of the weavers were busy without even raising their heads. Although this job made money, it was indeed harmful to the body and eyes. Most of the weavers had bad waists and necks.

"Doujin, are you going?"

When Yan Chaonian was leaving, Li Chun spoke up, and Yan Chaonian shook his head, "I won't go. Just tell me the result when the time comes. I asked someone to help me make an appointment with Lady Qin. I have to prepare at home, so I can ask for your advice when the time comes."

Li Xia's eyes lit up, "Are you talking about Qin Xianren, the Weaver Girl?"

The most famous weaver in Chengdu has in-depth knowledge of sericulture, silk reeling, dyeing, weaving, etc., and her weaving skills are superb. Most of the classic and fashionable patterns come from her hands, and many brocade workshops want to invite her for guidance.

"Who else is there besides this Saizhinu?"

This was the person Yan Chaonian had agreed to meet with, so Li Xia hurriedly said, "Then you should study hard, and we will handle the matter of Jinfang."

"You guys go back and do your work, I can go back by myself." The two brothers did not refuse, as they had too much to do and could not leave.

After walking a few steps out of the back door, Jiang Wencheng's figure appeared in sight. Both sides were surprised to see each other again.

Yan Chaonian didn't expect that his ghost would linger around and she would meet him here. If she had known this, she would have listened to her mother and asked the Buddha for protection.

Jiang Wencheng walked forward slowly, "Why are you here?"

Knowing that the owner of Chaojinfang would leave through the back door, he came here today to try his luck. "How did you come out from the back door of Chaojinfang?"

Yan smiled at the young man, "Why, are you here to block me?"

"It seems that you are not happy with your remarriage. You have been thinking about me all these years and even tried your best to find out my information and followed me to the southwest."

"You don't think I'll be touched, do you?"

If someone shamelessly flatters herself, she would also say, why is this person the only one who disgusts her?

Jiang Wencheng looked at you with an appraising look in his eyes and snorted coldly, "Do you feel confident now that I've agreed to let you go back? Do you think you have the capital to negotiate terms with me?"

"I told you, playing hard to get won't work on me. Put away your thoughts. If you don't apologize, you won't be able to enter the door of the mansion."

"After you go in, you have to kneel down and kowtow in front of your mother, begging for her forgiveness. Whether you can stay or not depends entirely on what she wants."

Yan Chaonian admitted that she was still far behind him in terms of shamelessness. He didn't know who gave him the confidence to say such words. Is the Bo Mansion such a popular place?
"Dr. Liu from Chang'an Hall in the city is pretty good. Go check his brain when you have nothing to do. Don't get hysterical and not know it."

"Yanshi!"

Jiang Wencheng was furious, "Are you imitating Ruzhen?"

This was the case when he met Ruzhen. Ruzhen was not afraid of his identity at all and even asked him to see a doctor.

"Did you find out about my encounter with Ruzhen and then try to imitate her?"

"You are so ignorant. Who do you think you are?"

Yan Chaonian, she met a mad dog.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were like this, and your preferences are different from those of ordinary people."

What a mean person, with such a mean temper.

"If you're okay please move aside, you're blocking my way."

"Yanshi!"

Jiang Wencheng's face turned dark. "You've passed. You'd better think clearly about what you are saying and doing. Don't think that I will treat you well because of Chongyuan. What you did back then has not been forgiven."

Yan Chaonian's eyes also turned cold. "I will discuss the matter with you when the time is right. Don't even think about threatening me. Jiang Chongyuan is your son. I..."

"Master Yan."

The weaver Li Sanniang chased after him and said, "Great, Master Yan, you're not far away. There was a problem with the loom I just tried, so I'd like you to go back and take another look."

Yan Chaonian forced a smile and said, "I'm coming."

Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Wencheng called him back, "What's your relationship with Chaojinfang?"
