In the next quarter of an hour, Chen Wansan told in detail what happened when he went home to visit relatives.

If there was something unclear or inappropriate words, Li Qing would help to make up for it.

Jiao Shun gently stroked the stubble on his chin and nodded slightly from time to time. He looked like he was listening to their narratives attentively, but in fact most of his attention was not on it.

Even in later generations, it is not uncommon for a person to achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascend to heaven. So what should we pay attention to?

On the contrary, the two people in front of me were quite interesting.

Li Qing is a typical small citizen. He has seen a lot of the world and is well-versed in things. He seems to be respectful and grateful to him, but in fact, he is far less respectful than Chen Wansan in his heart. He even reveals some of the cynicism unique to young people.

Jiao Shun judged others by himself, thinking that he probably had some thoughts of "he can replace him".

As for Chen Wansan, he obviously lives up to his name, which is the same as the God of Wealth. He is honest, responsible and willing to endure hardships. He respects and loves himself as a true teacher. However, he does not know how to adapt to things when faced with things, and always gets into trouble.

However, when faced with a dilemma, he would rather throw away his future wealth and prosperity than violate his principles. This is what Jiao Shun admires the most.

It is really rare for these two people with completely different personalities to get together, not only did they not conflict, but they actually became close friends.

I just don’t know if I can keep it going in the future...

At this time, Chen Wansan's narration came to an end, and he was heard to say in frustration: "I tried hard to persuade them, but my sister-in-law said that everyone was poking at my spine behind my back, saying that I forgot my roots when I got rich -

It’s just a matter of paying off the rest. When I was able to go to engineering school, I had to rely on my uncles to help me get enough credits. Now my uncles have begged me for help, but I... ugh!"

At this point, he couldn't help scratching his head in annoyance: "Teacher, you repeatedly warned us that when we arrived at the picket line, we should try our best to keep a bowl of water level. We can neither completely follow the foreman's wishes nor blindly listen to them.

They are representatives of the military - but if I owe them a favor for this matter, how can I still be loyal to them in the future..."

Li Qing heard that he was stuck and quickly interrupted: "Act impartially!"

"Yes, yes, act impartially!"

Chen Wansan scratched his head and imitated the words, then bowed to the end with a grimace: "The student really has no choice now, so he has no choice but to ask the teacher to take back his orders and let me go back to the Red Sandalwood Castle."

Hearing him say that there was really no other way, Li Qing couldn't help but open his mouth. He decided that there was nothing to worry about. There were many ready-made ideas, as long as he could be ruthless.

But after all, it was in front of Jiao Shun that he didn't dare to make any mistakes. He could only secretly criticize Chen Wansan in his heart for being too confused and giving up glory and wealth, and would back down for such a trivial matter.

"hehe."

At this time, I heard Jiao Shun chuckle and said: "Such things are inevitable, but I was careless and didn't think of this. Why don't I help them arrange some high-paying and relatively leisurely errands?"

, do you like it?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Although he had already guessed that Lord Jiao must have a deep memory of the first person to come to the stage to receive the certificate, he never expected that Lord Jiao would be willing to take care of Chen Wansan like this.

And I tried every means to please him, but I didn't see any reaction from Mr. Jiao - could this be the legendary saying that fools are blessed with fools?

but……

Now that the opening has been opened, it’s not good for a ‘teacher’ to treat one thing favorably or another, right?

I will spread the news after I return, and when others also beg Mr. Jiao to arrange relatives, I will fish in troubled waters again...

"Thank you teacher for your kindness."

Li Qing was making small calculations when he suddenly heard Chen Wansan say in a dull voice: "But there are two such things. If others follow the same example and ask for help in front of the teacher, wouldn't it be my fault? This is not good, you still have to do it.

Let me go back to Rosewood Castle."

Such cruelty!

Li Qing was angry and cursed secretly, "What a good thing, but this idiot is taking the initiative to push it out!"

"You can rest assured."

Jiao Shun smiled again and said nonchalantly: "Although it's a good job, your relatives may not be willing to do it. I often communicate with the imperial government, and their woolen mills are always short of people, so the wages are very high."

Gao, the work he does is more leisurely than outside, and he has to take care of food and housing three times a day..."

Hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but question: "How can such a good thing not recruit people?"

Chen Wansan also had a look of disbelief on his face. It was because he had a better future now and he would be tempted even if he couldn't help it.

"Because the woolen mill in the inner city only recruits female workers."

Jiao Shun spread his hands and said: "Actually, the workshops in the south use more female workers. We in the north are conservative and always feel that women should not be exposed to the public, so the government has never been able to recruit enough people."

When they heard that they were only recruiting female workers, Li Qing and Chen Wansan frowned in unison.

There are actually female workers in the steel factory, but most of them are temporary workers, and they are basically the workers' family members. They see their men all day long, so there are not so many taboos.

And this one only recruits female workers...

What should I do if there are rumors in the village that the girl who has not left the court has been away from home for a long time?

When married women are away from home for a long time, who will take care of the elderly and children at home? Don’t couples have to spend the night together?

Seeing the expressions of the two people, Jiao Shun chuckled and said: "If you are willing to come, I am not pretending to be a self-interested person. The government still owes us a favor. If you are unwilling to come, it is because they can't figure it out. No wonder you refuse to pull me out."

We are relatives."

Chen Wansan hesitated: "But..."

"It's nothing!"

Jiao Shun raised his hand to interrupt him and said sternly: "My concubine's biological mother is the sister-in-law of the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion. She is currently working in the inner workshop. If anyone is messing with you, you might as well ask for me.

Look at how precious the women in his family are."

Chen Wansan was speechless, but Chen Qing hurriedly pulled him to pay homage, and said with a face full of gratitude: "With the words of my mentor, we people will no longer have to worry about anything!"

…………

After sending Chen Wansan and Li Qing away, Jiao Shun got up and went to the south room of the east chamber. When he saw Hongyu washing Xing Xiuyan's feet, he exposed his arms and rolled up his sleeves as if to replace Hongyu.

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly took his feet out of the wooden basin, bent over and wiped them with difficulty, and said with a smile: "Did you find something useful today?"

Jiao Shun stepped forward and took the veil. While wrapping her two tender feet one by one, he asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

"The previous ones saw off the guests with just a cup of tea, but today they chatted for half an hour. Maybe something has clicked with me."

Xing Xiuyan saw that he could not evade, so he let him do what he did with a sweet heart.

Jiao Shun wiped her feet, sat aside, and said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from you. These two are indeed interesting, but they are too hard to use and they have to be observed again - let's not talk about this

, I heard Yuchuan say, did you name your child today?"

Xing Xiuyan said hurriedly: "I randomly drafted two of them when I had nothing to do, just for fun. They don't count. I have to pick the serious names."

"Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Jiao Shun deliberately made a serious face and feigned anger: "I have little education and don't understand those allusions, so I just pointed out that you are so talented and bring glory to our family. Who would have thought that you are being pretentious -

Tell me quickly what name you have come up with, if it’s good we’ll make a decision right away!”

"Even if I am satisfied, I still have to ask my wife what I want..."

Xing Xiuyan said, seeing Jiao Shun trying to come to tickle him, he had to say: "I have made one for each male and female. If it is a boy, just use the character 'Han' of Hanlin. If it is a daughter, use the word Zhixia - taken from Shihu

The layman's saying: 'You don't know the end of spring when it rains continuously, but you can only feel the depth of summer when it clears up'."

The boy's name can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, but the daughter's name sounds pretty good. It is an elegant word evolved from ancient poetry, and the scheduled delivery date happens to be in midsummer.

Thinking about it again, Jiao Shun suddenly frowned and said, "Why do you feel like you are looking forward to having a daughter?"

Xing Xiuyan rested her head on his shoulder and said softly: "I just hope that my child will have less troubles in the future and grow up cheerful and lively."

This is not difficult to understand. The eldest son of a concubine is far more likely to be tabooed than the ordinary eldest son, but the eldest daughter of a concubine is different. In most cases, she will only be more loved by her parents.

In fact, Jiao Shun also thinks that it is best to have a daughter, who is as talented, beautiful and virtuous as her mother - of course, her daughter will definitely be a big wife in the future, and it is best to find a monogamous couple.

An honest man who spends his whole life together.

The kind of glib talker who is good at coaxing people, who takes concubines before they get married, and who spends all day hooking up with others, is determined not to get anywhere near his daughter - no, ten feet!

After hearing these random thoughts from Jiao Shun, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh.

"Why are you laughing? I'm serious!"

Jiao Shunwu spontaneously said harshly: "We won't find a gatekeeper. It's not safe. If we can't take advantage of others, we'll lure the wolf into the house! Then build another wall around the back house and put a few Tibetan mastiffs in the passage - that's it.

That big, ferocious dog that looks like a lion!

"We don't want the yellow-haired ones, but the ones that are so black that you can't even see them at night. Then they will spread out when it gets dark. If there really is a fool who dares to climb over the wall and come in, his head will be bitten by him."

Come down!"

Hearing Jiao Shun's words, he gritted his teeth, as if someone was really spying on his daughter, and there was a faint flavor of experience. Xing Xiuyan couldn't help it anymore. She covered her mouth hard and couldn't help laughing, but her stomach ached.

.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun hurriedly restrained himself, and while rubbing her belly, he said seriously: "It's easy for me to talk, but my wife is a bit superstitious. If you have nothing to do, just come up with a few more names to prepare. If you don't have all the five elements, what's missing?

.”

Xing Xiuyan finally stopped laughing and nodded: "Then I'll ask Sister Lin to help me think of a few. She's known for her talent in singing poems, so the names she comes up with must be good."

As he spoke, he suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

Jiao Shun asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? But I feel uncomfortable when I rub it?"

"nothing."
