Jinxin

Chapter 161
Old Li Tou said solemnly: "What are we doing here? Do we just let the girl support me for nothing? Nowadays, the girl is helping me with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the little old man is already very uneasy. The girl is willing to give me work. This is really a shame. It couldn't be better."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Uncle Li said so, and I am relieved. Now that you have settled down, you don't have to do anything else. Just make me a loom. There are still three months before the spring of next year. I want two more looms. A jacquard loom, ten looms for weaving ordinary floral brocade, is the loom currently being used in my backyard, I wonder if it can be completed?"

Old Li smiled and said: "Miss, you underestimate us too much. For three months, how about I give you three Hualou jacquard looms and fifteen ordinary brocade looms? Don't look at the dozens of us. There are old and weak women and children here, and all of them work. It’s just that the Jacquard machine in Hualou is too complicated, and the little old man really dare not promise that he can make too many, and the girl must forgive me.”

Ruan Yunsi said happily: "This is already very good. I don't dare to say that I can eat a fat man in one bite. The number of looms is gradually increasing, and the business is gradually growing. This is the principle of gradual progress. In this case, please allow Li Bo to People go to buy materials, here is 2000 taels of silver, should be enough?"

"Enough is enough, 2000 taels of silver is enough to make hundreds of ordinary looms, and Hualou jacquard looms can make [-]." Old Li quickly declined, saying that there is no need for so much money, Ruan Yunsi But he put the banknotes on the table, angry and funny in his heart, thinking that Mr. Luo is not a thing. It turns out that the materials for making jacquard machines are so cheap, so he wants to ask me for five thousand silver coins. Not only the materials, but also the technology. If it weren't for Su Mingxi, it might not be able to buy the large jacquard machine for [-] silver. It is the ultimate weapon of Jiangning weaving.

While thinking about it, I made an agreement with the Li family.She got up to say goodbye, and then said to Li Huaifeng: "When Huaifeng is helping to make the jacquard machine, don't give up on the research on your printing machine. If you have any ideas, you can talk to me. Of the 2000 taels, I will give you 200 taels." It doesn’t matter if you fail once or twice, what matters is that you can make some improvements every time, and finally you can create a printing machine in your mind.”

The few people in the room didn't expect Ruan Yunsi to say such a thing, and they couldn't help being stunned.It took a long time for Li Huaifeng to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help jumping three feet high happily, and shouted: "Girl, are you serious? You...you give me 200 taels of silver to let me experiment? Hahaha, that's great. ..."

He danced like a madman, and suddenly he heard his father cough heavily, and scolded: "You bastard, Miss Ruan trusts you so much, and let you be deceived, your father, I will not tolerate you acting wild, since Miss Ruan is not interested in your whimsical ideas. If you are interested, you must work hard for me, if I see you wasting the 200 taels of silver, I will take care of you."

After saying a word, Li Huaifeng really calmed down, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face, and smiled at Ruan Yunsi: "Don't worry, girl, with these 200 taels of silver, I will definitely research and develop the best printing machine in the world for you." , lest my father use me as a counterexample every day to educate my brothers and nephews, I will almost lose face in the Li family."

Ruan Yunsi smiled slightly and said: "Okay, then work hard, no matter what Uncle Li and the others think of you, I believe in you." After speaking, she walked out, and Old Li led his family all the way to the gate of the street.

As soon as she left the street gate, she saw Zhong Xiu rushing over. Ruan Yunsi asked strangely, "What happened? Girl Xiu, why are you running in such a hurry?"

Zhong Xiu stepped forward, grabbed Ruan Yunsi's arm and said, "Sister, Mr. Su Wu and shopkeeper Yan came over in person, and they are waiting at home at this time. You should go back quickly, I don't know what they have to do."

"Huh? Master Su Wu and shopkeeper Yan came here in person?"

Ruan Yunsi was puzzled. Although she and the Su family cooperated very closely, she rarely had contact with each other. She was a woman, and this was indeed a fatal injury. She was not forced to. She generally refused to show her face. He kindly invited her to visit various places like Xixi, but she just went to Hanshan Temple and the West Lake for a walk.

After returning from Jiangnan, she did not go to Su's house, but these days, because of the high demand for brocade, she would ask Zhong Nan to deliver the goods to Lushui City every time a hundred pieces of brocade were woven, but she did not Knowing that something happened, Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan came together.

When I got home, I saw Su Liuyun and Shopkeeper Yan sitting opposite each other drinking tea. Yunniang and Zhong Nan were with them. When they saw Ruan Yunsi came back, they got up and said with a smile: "Young lady, you have a lot of work. You come from Jiangnan. It’s been more than three months since you came back, right? You haven’t even seen each other.”

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said, "Although we haven't met each other, I have a lot of brocades for shopkeeper Yan. The five young masters and the shopkeeper are here now, shouldn't they be asking the teacher for a crime?"

Su Liuyun and shopkeeper Yan laughed together, and said again and again: "How dare you dare." After finishing speaking, Ruan Yunsi also sat down, and said straight to the point: "We are very familiar with each other. If there is any matter, there is no need to beat around the bush. The fifth son and the shopkeeper If you have any intentions, just cut to the chase."

Shopkeeper Yan said with a smile: "I knew that the girl was quick to talk, since that's the case, the little old man doesn't talk nonsense, there are really a few things this time, one is our fifth son, because of the girl's help, this year's brocade The cloth shop has made great progress and has the strength to become a first-class cloth shop, so Mr. Su has handed over all the business and funds of the family to the fifth son to take care of it."

Ruan Yunsi knew that the main business of the Su family was cloth village, but besides that, there were other businesses and lands that were not under the control of Su Liuyun. Today, the shopkeeper said so, so it can be seen that Su Liuyun is really in charge of the family. So he quickly smiled and said: "Congratulations, the fifth son will be able to flex his muscles from now on without any restrictions."

As she was talking, she was secretly amused, Mr. Xin Daosu was finally not too ignorant, knowing that he was no match for this son, so he simply delegated power, well, this is indeed something worthy of congratulations.

Su Liuyun hurriedly said a few words modestly, and the shopkeeper Yan also laughed and said: "Now our third son is also a Jinshi in high school, and has been blessed by the Holy Spirit, and entered the Imperial Academy as an editor. Although this position is low, it is a big one. There is a future, as long as the third son acts cautiously in the future, our Su family will gradually gain a reputation in the court, and by then, we will be able to truly compete with Guiyun."

This time Ruan Yunsi was really surprised. She knew very well that those who were able to enter the Imperial Academy after the scientific examination were all top-ranked Jinshi. Although most of them eventually died of old age in the Imperial Academy, once they could stand out Even if it is a real carp leaping over the dragon's gate, it is possible to become a first- and second-rank official, not to mention that Su Liutian has the financial support of the Su family. As long as he is not too stupid, his future prospects are limitless. It's not just a moment of joy and random bragging, but it's really possible.

This kind of thing can't be said to everyone. The reason why the shopkeeper told Ruan Yunsi was naturally because of the cooperative relationship between the Su family and her, and he treated her as one of his own, so he had no reservations.After Ruan Yunsi said her congratulations, she said seriously, "There is a saying that I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Su Liuyun hurriedly said: "Although the girl is a girl, her insight and courage are far beyond that of ordinary men. If you have any golden and jade good words, you can tell them as much as you want, and I will listen to you."

Ruan Yunsi hesitated for a while, and then said calmly: "In theory, I shouldn't talk too much about Mr. Su's matter, but for some reason, I also know that it is not easy to hide in the court today. The one who is close to Guiyun silk and satin is For the officials headed by the Duke's Mansion, if Liujinbu Zhuang wants to compete with Guiyun, it is inevitable that they will choose another faction, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Su Liuyun showing surprise on his face, and then he interrupted Ruan Yunsi in a deep voice: "It is a well-known fact that the Su and Zhen sects in the court and China are in conflict. The emperor wants to facilitate the situation. Logically, since Liu Jin wants to compete with Guiyun, he can only turn to Zhen Shangshu's faction in order to benefit quickly. I also understand this, but the girl may not know it. Zhen Shangshu's faction, Although it cannot be said that they are all treacherous villains, they are all of the anointed generation. Every time the third brother mentions it, his teeth are very cold. We think this way, the Duke and the young prince, as well as those high-ranking officials, may not be Putting the two small merchants in our eyes, no matter who is better in Guiyun or Liujin, there is no harm to them, so although the business network is lagging behind Guiyun, but we rely on our strength to speak, we will not think about it. Due to a very critical disadvantage, in the final analysis, we are businessmen, and our contacts in the court are just for some convenience, after all, we don't need to participate in those world affairs, so I decided to respect the third brother's own opinion."

He made it very clear that Guiyun is close to Su Mingxi's faction, and Liujin Cloth Village wants to compete with Guiyun, and it is the fastest and most convenient way to vote for Zhen Yan's faction, but the Su family doesn't want to do this, The reason is also because of disdain for Zhen Pai's actions.

Ruan Yunsi was finally relieved, and she really admired the character of the Su family, thinking that although the old man Su was not good at business, he was undoubtedly very successful in educating his children.Yin laughed and said, "Young Master, I feel at ease when I say that. To be honest, I really admire Young Master. I heard that Zhen Yan's faction is slightly inferior to the Duke's faction in the court, but they are colluding with the local government and some wealthy businessmen. The door of convenience is wide open, and many businessmen are flocking to it, relying on it to seek huge profits and convenience for themselves, under such circumstances, the young master can not be deceived by the benefits, which really makes Yun Si admire."

　Clenching your fists, a new month has begun. I heard that during the New Year, the grades will be gray and often bleak. So, please lend a helping hand to those who have monthly tickets. Let's make a good start first.Hey, if everything goes well, Yunsi's identity will be revealed, and the climax of her development with the little father-in-law will be in the few days of Chinese New Year, OTZ.

　　So, solemnly, seriously, seriously: Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, recommend a referral ticket, ouch! ! ! ! !
