The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 743

Today's Jinxiu workshop has expanded several times, from a small workshop that only sewed clothing for the Su family at the beginning, it has now become a large-scale quilt workshop that is rare in the capital, but only in a short period of one year.

The original Jinxiufang only occupied a small yard next to the Su family's ancestral hall, but now it has moved to a new home, occupying the largest open space to the west of Dongmingfang.

The new Jinxiu workshop was built according to Su Yunduo's suggestion, divided into two parts: the storage area and the sewing area.

The warehouse area is divided into raw material warehouse and finished product warehouse.

The sewing area adopts the assembly line method to improve productivity.

Although all the cotton clothes and sleeping bags for Beibian City were finished, the Jinxiu Workshop was still busy.

The women working in Jinxiu Workshop included bought maidservants, members of the Su clan, and in-laws of the Su clan, and most of them were female workers recruited nearby.

Although they used to be able to sell some money by doing needlework, it is far less than the current income in Jinxiufang. As long as they don’t get lazy, their income in Jinxiufang can fully support the daily needs of the whole family, and they can even save money. Bring some money.

Seeing Su Yunduo entering Jinxiu Workshop at this moment, everyone stopped their work, stood up and greeted Su Yunduo affectionately.

Su Yunduo watched while walking, and sometimes said a few words to others, and when he saw a good job, he even praised casually, and finally told Shi Shi who came over after hearing the news, to let everyone do it every half an hour. Get up and move your body, and don't let everyone do it for a long time, so as not to manipulate the eyes and body.

Su Yunduo went into the raw material warehouse and the finished product warehouse to check the quality of raw materials and finished products.

The procurement of raw materials in Jinxiufang is divided into two parts, one is purchased by Jinxiufang independently, which mainly includes needles, threads and clothing materials for the servants of the Su clan's various houses, and the other is in charge of Su Yunduo's staff who specialize in purchasing. The quantity of this piece is quite large, occupying two large warehouses in Jinxiufang.

The finished product warehouse is mainly Su Yunduo's goods.

Su Yunduo was satisfied with the quality of raw material needles, threads, cotton, and fabrics, as well as the quality of finished clothing, sleeping bags, and quilts.

I just expressed some dissatisfaction with the storage and placement of raw materials, and put forward some opinions and suggestions: "Auntie, I think there should be more wooden shelves like this in the warehouse, and the raw materials and finished products are placed on the shelves , can not only prevent moisture, but also can be placed in categories, and it is also easy to extract."

Su Yunduo casually took the pen and paper used by the warehouse clerk to keep accounts, and drew some wooden frame structures.

Shi looked at it and nodded again and again. In fact, she also felt that there were some problems with the storage in the warehouse. Although it was stored in different categories, it was very inconvenient to extract because they were piled together.

Some work has been done to prevent moisture. Some low wooden shelves are placed in the warehouse, and items that are prone to moisture are stacked on the low wooden shelves.

The wooden frame drawn by Su Yunduo is combined with the iron frame and wooden frame for storage in the hospital pharmacy warehouse, supermarket, and home in the previous life. It is specially designed according to the actual needs of Jinxiu Workshop, which is naturally very practical.

It was already noon when Su Yunduo came out of Jinxiufang, so naturally he wanted to stay in Dongmingfang for lunch, Shi Shi warmly invited Su Yunduo to the long room for dinner, Su Yunduo would not agree, asked about Su Miao's recent situation, smiled She said goodbye to Shishi, and went back to the second room with Ningshi.Now it's really rare for her to go back to Dongmingfang, so she wants to have a meal with Mrs. Lu to show her filial piety.

After dinner, Su Yunduo didn't go back to Xiulou, but stayed in He Anju to chat with Mrs. Lu for a while. After Mrs. Lu got tired and rested, she and Ning went back to the main courtyard.

Su Zerui, who is four years old now, has already opened Mengmeng. Although he was not sent to the ethnology school because he was still young, he invited an old scholar from the clan to come to the second room every morning to teach Su Zerui, and he would only do it after lunch with his husband Back to the wing room in the main courtyard to rest for lunch.

When Su Yunduo and Ning Shi came over, they learned that Su Yunduo came to Dongmingfang today, and Su Zerui, who was supposed to take a rest, was going to He Anju to find Su Yunduo. Su Yunduo's legs and mouth yelled: "Sister, Brother Rui misses you so much! Why haven't you come to see Brother Rui for so long?"

Su Yunduo let out a clear smile, bent over and hugged Su Zerui: "My sister also misses Brother Rui! Come and see Brother Rui when I have free time!"

The siblings were tired for a while, and Ning urged Su Zerui to take a lunch break. Su Zerui hugged Su Yunduo's lap, hugged Su Yunduo's neck sideways and shook his head repeatedly: "Mother, I don't want to take a nap today, I still have a lot to say I'm going to tell my sister!"

Feeling Su Zerui's attachment to him, and thinking that after he got married, it would be rare for him to have the time and opportunity to be so close to Su Zerui, Su Yunduo's heart was sore and soft, so he smiled and said to Ning: "Mother, just let me be with Su Zerui." Let's talk about Brother Rui, I will personally send him to take a lunch break later."

Ning could see what the siblings were thinking, even though she had a lot to say to Su Yunduo, after thinking about it, she still didn't urge Su Zerui to go to rest, and it happened that someone in charge came over to ask for instructions, and Ning angered the siblings They glanced at each other, and took Mother Chen to the board of directors.

Su Zerui made a grimace against Ning's background, just in time for Su Yunduo to see him, he couldn't help being angry and funny, patted his butt lightly, gave him a look and said: "You're so naughty, be careful that your father will find out, I'll beat you up!"

Su Chengzhi's requirements for his sons are much stricter than when he was in Geshan Village. If he knew that Su Zerui not only did not listen to Ning's words, but also made faces at Ning's back, even if Su Zerui was still young, he would have to Was taught a lesson.

Being reminded by Su Yunduo, Su Zerui's palms seemed to ache, and the little body sitting on Su Yunduo's lap was slightly stiff, and he raised his small face and showed a flattering smile to Su Yunduo: "Sister, don't tell Daddy Brother Rui promises that he will never make faces at Mother again."

"Okay, you promise not to be naughty in the future, and sister will not tell dad." Su Yunduo pursed his lips and smiled.

Su Zerui stretched out his little finger to hook up with Su Yunduo.The smile on Su Yunduo's face was even wider, and naturally he would not disappoint Su Zerui. He stretched out his little finger and hooked Su Zerui's fat little finger. The siblings said in unison, "Hanging yourself with the hook will not change for 100 years."

Afterwards, the two siblings giggled together, making the maid who was serving in the room couldn't help laughing along with the siblings.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Su Yunduo asked Su Zerui about his studies, and Su Zerui answered them one by one.

Regardless of Su Zerui's young age, his articulation skills are quite good.

After Su Yunduo asked a few more questions, the little guy became a little impatient. Looking around, he seemed to find something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shook Su Yunduo's neck, "Sister, where is brother-in-law?"

When Su Zerui suddenly lit up, Su Yunduo was still a little nervous, for fear that Su Zerui would suddenly ask a question that he could not answer. After all, this kind of situation had happened more than once, and after Su Zerui asked, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law is on duty today, so he didn't come with my sister."

I thought Su Zerui would cheer for being able to monopolize me today, but I didn't expect the little guy to sigh quietly: "Brother Rui hasn't seen brother-in-law for a long, long time, I really miss him!"

Su Yunduo raised her eyebrows involuntarily, and lowered her eyes to look at the serious little guy in her arms, wondering about it, when did this little guy have such a deep relationship with Lu Jinkang?
But Nanny Yuan, who was serving Su Zerui, said with a smile: "Master Rui, you are still young, wait until you are older, and let my uncle take you to ride a horse."

Su Yunduo couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that, before she knew it, her sister had already been withdrawn from the shooting range!

After all, Su Zerui was still young, the siblings had a conversation and then sat on Su Yunduo's lap and dozed off.

Nanny Yuan wanted to take Su Zerui to the wing to rest, but Su Zerui, who was already half asleep, hugged Su Yunduo's neck coquettishly. Su Yunduo shook his head at Nanny Yuan, and carried Su Zerui to the wing in person. Lying beside Su Zerui, she gently sang a lullaby to lull Su Zerui to sleep.

When Su Zerui fell asleep, Su Yunduo gently kissed his little face, carefully tucked up the quilt for him, and then quietly exited Su Zerui's room.

Going out the door to meet Shang Ning's gaze, Su Yunduo smiled, took Ning's arm and returned to the main room, the mother and daughter chatted about their mother's affairs for a while.

Seeing Su Yunduo carefully coaxing Su Zerui to sleep with his own eyes, he can clearly see the tenderness in Su Yunduo's eyes. One thing is certain, that is, Su Yunduo likes children very much.

Although Ning promised that Su Yunduo would stop urging her to conceive and have a baby, she still had to babble a few words, but this time she didn't urge her to conceive directly, but started from caring about Su Yunduo's body, and carried out fancy gestation from the side.

After being pregnant many times recently and being slandered by rumors, Su Yunduo understands Ning's motherly heart better than before, and is naturally more patient than before: "Mother, don't worry, I have been recuperating my body. Guzhu said But as long as I continue to adjust like this, I will be able to adjust my body to seven or eighty-eight within a year."

Ning's eyes lit up. This means that Su Yunduo will not insist on trying to conceive again in two years, but she may become pregnant within a year. If so, won't she be able to become a grandmother next year? !

Ning Shi's expression made Su Yunduo feel that it was a bit too hot-eyed, so he couldn't help covering his eyes with his hand, but still nodded to Ning Shi.

Ning's eyes turned red with joy.

Ever since it was rumored that Su Yunduo could not give birth, Ning's heart felt like a stone was pressed, and she felt a little unable to lift her head when she went out.

The two nieces on the side of the third house were married later than Su Yunduo, but they were pregnant early, and they would come back to Dongming Fang from time to time to show off their power. Some people in the clan enjoyed the benefits that Su Yunduo brought them. However, after listening to Sanfang's fanning the flames, someone actually brought her daughter's house in front of her, and asked her to find a way to send it to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to give to Su Yunduo. If he wanted to reach out and hit someone, if Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Shi hadn't stepped forward, the front and back courtyards of the Su Clan in Dongming Fang would have caught fire.

It's just that Ning will not tell Su Yunduo about these things, she can no longer let Su Yunduo worry about her.

Of course, what happened in Dongmingfang cannot be completely hidden from Su Yunduo, which is also an important reason why Su Yunduo came to Dongmingfang in person this time.

With the assurance given by Su Yunduo, Ning's no longer entangled in the rumors outside, she was able to think about other things: "Your second brother plans to try next year as well."

"Second brother will only be 11 years old next year, so let him go?" Su Yunduo couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Ning nodded, and said with some helplessness and melancholy: "You should know that Brother Chen has a better brain than Brother Xuan."

This is true, Su Zexuan is stable and energetic, but his mind is indeed not as good as Su Zechen.

This year, Su Zexuan was off. Although he had passed the county and government examinations, his results were not satisfactory.

This year is the year of the township examination, and this group of children who have passed the county and government examinations will not take the college exam until next autumn. Whether Su Zexuan can successfully pass the exam depends on the results of next year's college exam.

In order to prepare for next year's college exam with peace of mind, Su Zexuan no longer goes to day school, and lives in the academy and becomes roommates with Lu Jinhua.

Because Su Zechen went to the Confucian government to study medicine every now and then, although he really wanted to live a collective life, he failed in the end.

"What did daddy say?" Su Yunduo frowned slightly and asked.

From her point of view, Su Zechen is just a primary school student, and going to take the talent test at this age always makes her feel like she is overdoing it.

"Your father is actually persuading Brother Chen to study for a few more years at ease. It's just that Brother Chen wants to take the college exam with Brother Xuan. His Senior Brother Kong also said to let him try. His husband has no objection." I don't agree either." Ning told Su Yunduo the opinions of several teachers related to Su Zechen.

Su Yunduo pondered for a while, but he still didn't say anything against it: "If that's the case, then let him try it."

After Su Yunduo got married, she spent very little time with her younger brothers, but it didn't mean she didn't care about them. Su Yunduo didn't dare to say that she was well aware of Su Zexuan and Su Zechen's studies, but she always paid attention to them.

Whenever Lu Jinhua came back from the academy, Su Yunduo, as the elder sister-in-law, always cared a few words. At this time, it was inevitable to learn about Su Zexuan and Su Zechen's situation in the academy.

Lu Jinkang knew that Su Yunduo cared about his natal brothers, so he would bring Su Yunduo back some of Su Zexuan and Su Zechen's studies in the academy. He and the head of the academy are close friends, so it is convenient to know the situation of the two brothers-in-law. very.

"I don't know how the Yushu exam did this time, I hope he can pass the exam, and your father didn't bother to help him with this." After talking about the two sons, Ning talked about Liu Yushu who went back to Yanshan Mansion to take the provincial exam.

Only then did Su Yunduo remember that Liu Yushu from the Liu family had returned to Yanshan Mansion to take part in the provincial examination this year, and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Once there is good news, brother Yushu will send a letter to daddy as soon as possible, so mother doesn't need to worry about it."

Speaking of Liu Yushu, Su Yunduo thought of Liu Jialin who was studying at the Su Clan School and couldn't help asking: "What is Brother Jialin's plan?"

Speaking of Liu Jialin, Ning couldn't help but sigh: "Jia Lin's background is weak, although he is willing to work hard, Mr. Zu Xue doesn't like it very much. A few days ago, Jia Lin came to the house to talk to your father, saying to himself I'm getting old, and I want to try my best next year. If it doesn't work, I don't want to waste time to continue studying. Then I will find something to do, and when I have some savings, I can find a suitable girl to start a family. I am worthy of my deceased parents. You Father agreed, Jialin will return to Yanshan Mansion after the new year."

Su Yunduo nodded thoughtfully. Mr. Su Clan Studies didn't think much about it, so it can be seen that Liu Jialin's career is indeed a success. Of course, if he is not allowed to go back and fight for a fight, I am afraid that Liu Jialin will not be reconciled.

It's just that if the career fails, whether Liu Jialin intends to stay in Geshan Village or return to the capital.

This matter can only depend on Liu Jialin's own plan. Whether he intends to stay in Geshan Village or come to the capital to develop, he can always be given a suitable job. After all, Liu Jialin is a stable and reliable person, and he is a usable person. .

"Mother, you have to trust your own daughter and son-in-law at any time. Nothing others say is true! Don't be angry with the rumors outside. Mother should go back to grandpa and grandma to see if she is free, and let grandpa Grandma, uncle and aunt, don't listen to rumors, and don't argue with outsiders." Before leaving Dongmingfang, Su Yunduo took Ning's hand and said softly.

At this time, because Ning had the confidence Su Yunduo gave her in her heart, she naturally listened to what Su Yunduo said. Speaking of which, she hadn't gone back to Ning's house for a while, and it was time to go back and take a look at Su Yunduo's words by the way. He told the Ning family what he had said so that the Ning family would not be frightened by Su Yunduo after hearing the rumors.
