my grandmother

The ten people from Ruifufang lined up, followed behind the team from Xiangyunfang, and entered the courtyard of the dental clinic.

Qiaozhi's family of three walked in the middle of the team.

A Niang Qiaozhi was at the front, strangling her neck with all her strength, controlling her urge to look back.

Grandma Qiaozhi followed behind her daughter, her mouth tightly pursed, and she also tried her best to make her walk as easy as possible without the support of crutches.

Wang Quexi followed Grandma Qiaozhi, lowered her head slightly, and stared at Grandma Qiaozhi's slightly trembling legs.

Aunt Qiaozhi told him that if grandma couldn't support her, he had to help her up quickly.

Qiaozhi stood behind Li Xiaonan with her hands down, her eyes quickly passed over the weavers who came in one by one, her eyes fell on A Niang, and her legs were raised before she realized it.

Dongmei who was standing next to her grabbed her.

Qiaozhi fell back to her feet and glanced at Dongmei gratefully.

"Are you here?" Li Xiaonan turned her head and asked Qiaozhi.

"Here we come! The fourth one is my mother, followed by my grandma and my father." Qiaozhi's voice was trembling.

"Pick those three first." Li Xiaonan patted Wang Yuting.

Wang Yuting turned his head, blinked at Qiaozhi, walked over a few steps, and whispered a few words to Li Wenru, Li Wenru nodded to Qiaozhi's family of three.

The Yaman took off the number plates pinned to the shoulders of the three, and motioned for the three to stand over.

A Niang Qiaozhi pursed her lips tightly, and her steps were stiff. Grandma Qiaozhi followed behind Aniang Qiaozhi, shaking her legs, but failed to lift her feet.

Wang Yuting stepped forward, grabbed Grandma Qiaozhi's arm, and dragged her out of the line.

"Go get your grandma a chair." Li Xiaonan didn't turn her head, and patted Qiaozhi with the back of her hand.

Qiaozhi moved very quickly, brought a small bamboo chair over, turned around in a circle, stretched out his head and asked Li Xiaonan, "Where to put it?"

Li Xiaonan nodded beside her.

"Grandma, help me see, which one can be used?" Li Xiaonan watched Grandma Qiaozhi sit down, and smiled.

"The last one!" Grandma Qiaozhi immediately pointed to the last person in the Ruifufang team.

The man couldn't tell a man or woman, with one hand twisted and curled up in front of his chest, half of his face was red and ferocious.

"Huh?" Li Xiaonan looked at Grandma Qiaozhi.

"She is the best at sizing and desizing. Before she was 30 years old, she became a steward of sizing in the weaving workshop. Her life was not good. When she watched the sizing, for some reason, the sizing bucket was overturned, and she was caught Her body was so hot that her mother knelt and cried and begged Liu Ye to find a doctor for her, but Liu Ye ordered her mother to beat her up.

"Oh, she made it through, but her mother didn't." Grandma Qiaozhi sighed softly.

Li Xiaonan signaled to Wang Yuting.

Eleven people were picked out this time, Qiaozhi brought four, Dongmei brought three, Mingzhi brought one, and Wanqing picked three from the test.

Although all of these eleven people seemed to be crooked, Li Xiaonan was very satisfied.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing borrowed a long-term entourage, and three carts took the fourteen people under her new command to Pingjiang City, handed them over to Eldest Sister, and sent them to Guoxiang to learn how to play with Mrs. Lu. Set up a weaving school.

The captain took three carts straight to Pingjiang City, and Li Xiaonan and his party also set off immediately to Jiaxing County, and from Jiaxing County to Hangzhou overnight.

....................................

Gu Yan held the scroll that was at least twice as heavy as usual, took the cutter and opened it, read it carefully, and went into the upper room with the letter while laughing.

From the smile on Gu Yan's face, the prince looked at the letters in Gu Yan's hand.

"Look at that little girl's narrow-mindedness." Gu Yan handed the letter to the prince.

The prince also laughed after reading it, "She is not very old, but she is very good at handling people's hearts."

"There are a lot of narrow-mindedness." Gu Yan smiled, looking helpless.

The crown prince gave Gu Yan a sideways glance, "Your little girl won't suffer at least in this turn-by-turn move. Have you guys agreed on the autumn silkworm cocoon?"

"I want to ask Ah Nan what she means. If she can take over here, it's better for her to come forward than me." Gu Yan laughed.

"Well. Jiang Jianrong, Cao Si of Liangzhe Road, wrote me a secret letter, saying that the Jiangnan Silk Headquarters had suspended all work in the weaving workshop. He checked it out and said that the Jiangnan Silk Headquarters dared to suspend work because it had received a message from the capital." The prince frowned slightly.

"Jiang Jianrong is attached to Prime Minister Pang, is he alluding to Prime Minister Wang?" Gu Yan also frowned.

"The secret accounts you found went to those who studied society and literature under Wang Xiang's family. The number is not small. Wang has been looking for famous teachers and traveling around for years, and he has also received funding from the Silk Industry.

"But if he really wants to help Jiangnan Silk Headquarters overcome your difficulties, he shouldn't have ordered the weaving workshop to stop working. Stopping work will add fuel to the flames. Wang Xiang is a smart man, and he wouldn't have thought of these things. If it was him, what would he want to do? ?”

"No matter what he wants to do, Jiangnan Silk Co., Ltd. and the Customs Department, I will only follow the regulations we agreed on at the beginning, and try my best to remove all obstacles and clean up the corruption." Gu Yan looked serious.

"Well, I received a letter from daddy yesterday." The prince paused, and continued after a while: "Father is out of energy, and it's hard to hold on for too long in the morning, so he urged me to go back."

Gu Yan's face turned pale.

"After arriving at Fujian Road, you return to Liangzhe Road by land. I will board a boat and head north, and return to Jianle City as soon as possible." The prince sighed softly.

"it is good."

Both of them fell silent for a long time, the crown prince smiled and said, "Are you going back to the capital this year for the New Year?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on the progress of the Customs Department's case."

"If you don't go back to celebrate the New Year, your aunt will have to cry to my aunt several times." The prince laughed.

"She has to cry a few times when I go back, because of my marriage." Gu Yan spread his hands.

"Your marriage~" the prince trailed off, and after a moment, he curled his lips and clicked his tongue.

Gu Yan turned his head to look out the window, pretending he didn't hear it.

....................................

Gu Yan accompanied the prince to inspect Fujian Road. Zhou Shennian took Gu Yan's order and returned from Mingzhou to Pingjiang City to find the owner of the old house in Yueyang. The various connections of the cocoon are exquisite, and some situations to be explained at the moment.

Zhou Shennian hurried to Pingjiang City, went straight to the palace outside the city, met Hong Bo, washed and changed clothes, heard that the fourth wife of the Li family had returned, declined the chauffeur arranged by Hong Bo, and walked as a car Go to Fuxue area.

He wanted to quietly take a look at the fourth lady of the Li family first.

Zhou Chennian inquired all the way, turned around from the east side of the school along the lake, counted three houses, and saw the house that was exactly the same as the boy described.

Zhou Chennian saw the red lantern hanging on the top of the gate from the pot of hydrangeas in front of the gate on one side, walked along the yard to the corner gate, looked in through the crack of the gate, and listened to the chattering for a while. The extremely lively rooster crowed, and then moved forward.

Behind the house is the wide lake extending from the school. A little girl is sitting on a pony with two fishing rods in front of her, and she is looking at the two buoys on the lake with her chin resting on her cheeks.

Zhou Chennian took a few steps, stretched his neck to look at the lake, lowered his head, leaned forward, and looked at the little girl.
