After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

“Why let them spread the seeds of Champa rice first?”

"The area toward Dashi has a dry climate and thin land, which is suitable for the growth of Champa rice. Why not allow it?"

Li Wei thought for a moment and understood her intention.

Although the Chen family is said to be all capable, their foundation in Daqi is shallow. If they want to do business frequently, they must establish good relations with the locals.

Otherwise, if you meet a few ill-intentioned people along the way, you might just get turned in.

"My wife has a profound plan for this, and Li Wei feels ashamed."

"Okay, okay, don't say those beautiful words again, it's more serious to follow me to pick some children outside the city first."

"Why pick a child?"

“Learn the language of Dashi.”

Now that you have decided to do the silk business, how can you do it if you don’t know how to deal with others?
Not only do those children need to learn, but people like Li Wei also need to follow suit. After all, the earliest the real business can be done is after the new year.

"I probably won't be able to see the scene at that time." Ke Yiqing smiled, but there was no sadness in his expression. On the contrary, Li Wei's eyes were red.

"Madam... I will do my best to support my little boss when he is born."

"Support or not, if the child is that material, that's fine. If not, I will be content with being wealthy and healthy for the rest of my life."

She quickly cheered up and decided to discuss the details with others while she was still alive.

This discussion lasted until midnight, and all the lamp oil in the house was burned out.

Early the next morning, the two went out of the city to select children at the school.

"I wonder what you want?" Yu Changsheng touched the tops of these children's hair with a smile on his face.

Since they had the hope of working in Deji Hall, these children have also put in a lot of effort in their studies. The first batch of those who were selected are now working as helpers in the shop, and it is said that they can earn up to 150 yuan a month!
Even a family of four can survive for several months if they live frugally.

I heard that the boss personally selected them this time, so no wonder these kids were so excited to be selected.

"There's no rush, let's make a request first."

The requirements are simple but not simple, that is, those who are talented and intelligent, and the elders in the family are willing to let their children travel far away.

The two requests were made, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

The world is not good, and after finally living a stable life, who would want to travel outside.

Yu Changsheng frowned and said, "Going far away? How long does it take to go back and forth?"

"It only takes a few months in the past, and it disappears after coming and going for more than half a year."

More than half a year!Children, you look at me and I look at you, but no one makes a sound.

After a while, a skinny little boy raised his hand and said timidly: "Master, can I do it?"

"This matter is not urgent. Let's ask the elders in the family for their opinions first."

"I-I don't have any elders in my family."

Yu Changsheng also knew better about this child's family. His parents originally worked for them, but both husband and wife had a cold epidemic. Although they sent medicinal materials, it was still too late.

The two of them were getting older, and their health was very poor. Even after taking some medicine, they still left, leaving only such a child, which is also a miserable life.

"Okay, then I'll count you in."

Some of the remaining children were also interested, but after all, they were concerned about their elders and kept silent.

Ke Yiqing didn't make things more difficult. He just sent someone home to report to his parents. He would only consider it after getting permission.

Yu Changsheng was very puzzled, "I wonder where Madam plans to do business?"

"Over there in the Dashi Country."

He was stunned and said with some disapproval: "Dashi and Daqi don't have frequent contacts, I'm afraid it's not easy to do business."

She smiled and didn't answer. If it were that easy, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much money to be made.

"But teaching children some languages? How can I find a teacher?"

Although there are many people in the aristocratic family who can speak the food language, but if you want to ask someone to come over and teach some refugee children, there will definitely be no one willing to do so. They think it would be too much of a loss.

"It is true that we want the children to learn the language. We have already found a teacher." Naturally, it was the foreigner who came to her home earlier. His name was too long, so she just called him Ab.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yu Changsheng stopped trying to persuade her and just concentrated on drawing up a list for her.

"These children are all talented and intelligent. Not only do they excel in arithmetic, but they also have a methodical approach to everything they do and say. They are all malleable talents."

Ke Yiqing was very moved when he accepted the list.

"His Royal Highness...I don't know how to thank you anymore."

"These children are also my students. As your husband, I will be very grateful to you for helping them find a future."

Knowing that these false courtesies were useless, she stopped saying polite words.

"Yu Jin, please bring the things up."

"This is……"

He took the gift box and opened it. It turned out to be a fine inkstone.

"Could it be the red silk inkstone from Nan Study?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really knows his stuff."

Yu Changsheng wanted to refuse, but this thing really pleased him and was really hard to resist.

The Nan Study is the first study in Shengjing. The pens, inks, paper and inkstones in it are very expensive, and this red silk inkstone is the best among them. Because the raw materials are very rare, and the inkstone is colorful, the ink grinds silently and the ink is like oil. It is really It is the top grade among inkstones, but it is so rare that few people can get it. Even Nan Shuzhai can only get a few pieces a year.

Often, as soon as there is news, they are bought early.

Even Yu Changsheng, who is the crown prince, also uses the inferior Duan inkstone.

He bowed deeply and said, "This is how I deserve to live forever."

Ke Yiqing had already expected his polite refusal, "If you don't want it, I won't be able to let go, so what should I do?"

"Then, then buy the immortality with money."

"This thing is very valuable. Does His Royal Highness have so much money on him?"

"I don't know, if it's not enough, can I write another IOU?" Although he didn't want to accept it, he really didn't want to miss the inkstone.

"Sell this inkstone to the prince for a penny."

Yu Changsheng raised his head and widened his eyes in surprise.

Ke Yiqing couldn't help but chuckle, and the other person blushed, and then he realized that he was being teased.

He was so happy.

"Madam, madam, why are you like this..."

"Good prince, take it now!"

In the end, Yu Changsheng accepted it.

After giving the gift, she seemed to say casually: "I heard that your house has acquired a new aggressive dog?"

"That's right, even Madam knows about it?"

"Yeah, even though it's a rare thing, I'm afraid it might hurt someone if I don't train it properly."

Speaking of this, he also had a headache. Princess Wen Yu had been spoiled by his father for a long time. After getting the fierce dog, she showed off her power everywhere.

I heard that I've been looking for someone recently, so I hope there won't be any trouble.

"My little sister is very naughty. I hope she gets over this novelty soon."

"His Royal Highness is right. It would be better to give more advice on weekdays."

"That's what the lady said."

After saying this, Ke Yiqing said goodbye and left. On the way back to Beijing, he met Princess Wen Yu with a sinister face and heard that she had been inquiring about Yan Ming's affair with a woman recently.

Whenever Yan Ming was mentioned, she would drive the dog over to take a look. After a few days, Shengjing was so frightened that she did not dare to stay outside any longer. The vicious dog looked too scary.

She squeezed the medicine bag in her sleeve tightly, secretly hoping that Wen Yu wouldn't find anything wrong, otherwise... don't blame her for being ruthless. (End of chapter)
