Chapter 322 Settlement
Qin Huaiyu didn't speak, but pursed her lips. She didn't want her grandfather to worry about her affairs.
Qin Changzhi could tell from his granddaughter's expression.
Sighed deeply, feeling powerless.
The eldest granddaughter is having a hard time in her husband's house. Although she has a son by her side, she has to compete with several aunts for favor.
The second granddaughter is now in her prime, and she still doesn't know what kind of marriage will happen. The grandson Huai Min, experienced family accidents when he was young, his parents died, and he lived with them in the Zhuangzi, never going out every day, and he didn't even have a friend.
And he has no long-term possessions, and he brings his two grandchildren to live on the Zhuangzi that his eldest granddaughter married, making Huaiwu even more unable to hold his head up in her husband's house.
"Grandfather?"
Qin Changzhi saw the worry on his granddaughter's face, and sighed, "That's all, let's go back to the city."
"Hey!" Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "Then granddaughter goes to pack her luggage!"
Received Qin Changzhi's message, Huo Xi was very happy, put down what she was doing, and took her uncle to hire a carriage to go to the suburbs of Beijing.
"I'll come, I'll come!"
Seeing Qin Huaiyu walking out with a big bag in his arms, Yang Fu trotted over and caught it: "You're a girl, if you can't move these things, just put them there, and I'll do it."
Qin Huaiyu blushed, but she didn't argue with him. She wanted to get some small items, but Yang Fu also snatched them away. I stared blankly at him moving back and forth, spared no effort.
Bao Kang is a strong man, Yang Fu moved a few times, and he was out of breath, but he was happy, tossing back and forth.
Qin Changzhi smiled when he saw his childish appearance, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
Huo Xi walked up to him: "Sir, if Boya Academy is willing to hire you, can you tell the curator to let Bao Kang go in and practice martial arts with Mr. Wu Xue? He is like this now, if he can learn one and a half moves , will also have the ability to protect himself in the future, and will not waste his strength."
Qin Changzhi was a little surprised: "Does the Boya Academy still offer martial arts classes?" Could it be the Boya Academy he knew?
Huo Xi nodded: "It's only been open for a while."
Comfort him: "If Boya Shushu doesn't want to hire you, you can just live in my house, be a teacher for a day, and be a teacher for life, and you will be filial to you after school."
Qin Changzhi glanced at her: "If the Boya you mentioned is the Boya I know, they will hire me."
Huo Xi looked at him and said so firmly. Could it be that he is acquainted with the curator of the school?
Qin Changzhi didn't say much, just watched the luggage being loaded into the carriage, then stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage.
Several carriages drove away from Zhuangzi, Qin Huaiyu lifted the curtain and looked back at the Zhuangzi who had lived for several years, and quickly lowered the curtain again. In the future, she will not be trapped in this Zhuangzi again.
The carriage stopped in front of Huo's house in Qionghua Lane.
Grandma Zou, grandma Zou, Shen Qianzhong brought Shen Luo, and two women, greeted them at the door, and Huo Xi introduced them.
"This house was originally intended to be used as a workshop. Now I have cleaned up the second courtyard and gave it to your family. Although the front yard has been used as a workshop, it does not affect the courtyard door. The second courtyard also has a back door. You A family does not need to go through a hospital."
When Qin Huaiyu heard that there was a workshop, his eyes moved.
Qin Changzhi entered the yard, took a look around, and saw that it was full of life and tidy up very warmly, so he nodded secretly in his heart.
Shen Qianzhong helped to move up and down. After moving, rubbing his hands, he looked at Huo Xi nervously.
Huo Xi pointed to Shen Luo and said to Qin Changzhi: "This is Shen Luo, the son of shopkeeper Shen. He is about the same age as Huai Min in Mr.'s family. Maybe it can be said that he is the same age. Shen Luo is a good student. I hope you can get some advice from Mr.
Shen Qianzhong nodded again and again, nervously. Great Confucian scholars all have tempers, so I don't know if they are willing or not. It would be of great benefit to Luoer if Luoer could get his advice.
"Shen Luo met Mr. Qin." Shen Luo greeted Qin Changzhi.
Qin Changzhi looked at his father and son, nodded: "If there is something you don't understand, just come."
"Thank you sir!" Shen Luo gave him another disciple gift.
I was very excited. Seeing Qin Huaimin peeking at him, he said, "Do you want to visit the front yard? I'll take you there."
Qin Huaimin glanced at his grandfather, saw his grandfather nodded, blushed and went with Shen Luo.
Qin Huaiyu also wanted to go, Huo Xi met and introduced to her: "Originally, this house was used as a workshop. The first time I entered the courtyard, I arranged for the fan maker to bring his apprentices to make fans. The second time I entered the courtyard, it was for women to make fans." Velvet flowers, making fans, nets, fan pendants, etc. After you are willing to come, shopkeeper Shen and I moved the fan maker to his house."
Qin Huaiyu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Aren't there any embroidered handkerchiefs?"
"Our shop also accepts handkerchiefs with embroidered patterns, but they all get the materials and embroider them at home before sending them over. Some people also take velvet flowers and fans to make at home. Later, when we needed a large quantity, we opened a workshop to let everyone Come to the workshop to do things together, so it will be more efficient.”
Seeing that his granddaughter was interested, Qin Changzhi said, "You and Xiaodong's family should go ahead and have a look."
"Sir, please call me by my name. Calling me my little master will make me angry." Huo Xi bowed to him.
Qin Changzhi saw that she was dressed in men's clothing, and her etiquette was nondescript, and he was a little disgusted: "There should be a gentleman to teach you how to do it."
Huo Xi smiled: "Then please teach me more, sir."
Qin Changzhi looked disgusted and waved at them. Grandpa Zou and Grandma Zou saw that they had left, so they helped him put away his things together with shopkeeper Shen Yang Fu and introduced some situations to him.
Qin Huaiyu followed Huo Xi to the front yard, and saw twenty or so girls making velvet flowers, fans, and fan pendants together. Their expressions were concentrated, and they chatted and laughed occasionally. The atmosphere was so harmonious that their eyes were straightened.
The embroidery on the fan is no worse than hers, and the pendant, especially the velvet flowers are so beautifully done.
These women all have one or two velvet flowers on their heads, and she also wants and wants to learn.
"If you want to learn, come to the front yard and learn from them."
Qin Huaiyu nodded happily.
Huo Xi took her and watched from the side for a while. Seeing that they are fast and the work is done meticulously, I am very satisfied.
Most of the women in the workshop are girls from the scholar's family near Qionghua Lane. The wives and family members, some are married, some are unmarried, and some are older. Everyone talks and laughs together, and they work a lot for wages. Take a lot, one person gets at least one tael of silver a month.
There are more than 20 women in the workshop. Those who take care of the children and the elderly at home usually get their jobs and go back to do it. There are actually quite a few women who provide work for the workshop, and there are also scholars who paint fans and inscriptions. , there are quite a lot of people.
After people gathered in the workshop, Huo Xi bought two more servants, one Mrs. Li, one Mrs. Zhao, one as a doorkeeper, and one to cook a meal for these ladies at noon.
Grandma Li also brought a five-year-old grandson named Hu Zi, who usually helped spread the word in the front and back yards.
