Li Jinglan called Qin Shan's father over.

Qin Shan's father has been working on flushing toilets recently. He eats well and has a job, so his complexion looks much better.

The hair is combed neatly.

The clothes are also clean.

When entering the room, bow first: "Greetings to the Madam."

"How many flush toilets have you made now?" Li Jinglan asked him.

Qin Shan's father replied: "Six."

“How many baby carriages did you make?”

"Four."

The speed is too slow.

Li Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "You can recruit a few apprentices and let them learn the craft from you."

Qin Shan's father lowered his head and agreed.

"Can you make a thermos?" Li Jinglan asked again.

"will do."

The thermos is made of bamboo on the outside and ceramic on the inside, with a layer of warmth-keeping stuffed in the middle.

Li Jinglan said, "Make everything you can make and send it to me."

"I opened a bamboo shop and I've already found a shopkeeper. You can meet him later. I mainly sell small bamboo and wooden items."

The shop still needs a shopkeeper?

Basically, this kind of shop is run by a family.

The men were weaving bamboo products in the back, and the women were selling things outside.

Qin Shan's father felt that this kind of store didn't need a manager, but he didn't dare to speak carelessly, so he grunted and said, "It doesn't make much money."

It's indeed not profitable.

Precisely because it was not profitable, when the shop was given to Aunt Zhao, it did not arouse Mrs. Li Wu's disgust.

Along with the shop, one hundred acres of land were also given.

The shop and the land could guarantee Aunt Zhao an annual income of twenty or thirty taels of silver, which was enough food to eat every year.

It is neither too high nor too low and does not arouse the jealousy of Li and Wu.

In her previous life, when she married into the Xia family, she often gave money to Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao's life became more and more difficult.

When she didn't go to visit Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao's life became much better.

This was also the reason why she did not visit Aunt Zhao when she returned to her parents' home for the first time after getting married.

If she didn't go to visit, Aunt Zhao would at most be ridiculed.

If she took the initiative to visit and give money, Li Wu would torture Aunt Zhao.

"You have debt from your eldest son's medical treatment, right?" Li Jinglan asked him.

When Qin Shan's father mentioned the debt, he looked worried. "The creditor came to me a few days ago and said that the debt has risen to 11.6 taels."

"They said they wanted to sell my daughter to pay off the debt, but I said my daughter worked as a servant in the Lu family, and then they gave up."

At this point, Qin Shan's father knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, madam, for saving my life."

If my daughter had not entered the Lu family, she would have been taken away by now to pay off the debt.

Li Jinglan thought about it for a while and came up with an idea: "You ask the creditor to come to me with the IOU and I will pay the debt for you."

"But your whole family has to sign a contract to sell themselves! My family only signs living contracts, not death contracts."

What's there to hesitate about?

I don’t know how many people want to enter the Lu family but can’t.

There is no difference between a living contract and a dead contract to Qin Shan's father.

When he was young, he worked outside and heard some things about officials' families.

Servants can work for a lifetime and then be supported by the mansion.

If the children can work in the Lu family for their whole lives and become servants, it is better than being exposed to the wind and rain outside.

Qin Shan's father nodded repeatedly: "I will go find them after I get out."

the next day.

Someone came over with an IOU.

Li Jinglan asked Zhao Zhengyi's family to receive the guests.

soon.

Zhao Zhengyi's family came back and said, "It's the money that the Hu family loaned out."

Hu family?

There is only one family with the surname Hu in the county that lends money.

It’s the Hu family that Xia Jifang is good friends with.

Li Jinglan asked Lu Guanyu to take out the silver: "Give it to them."

Zhao Zhengyi's family laughed: "The Hu family said that they didn't expect the Qin family to be our servants. They also said that they only need to pay back two taels of capital."

"It's the right amount!" Li Jinglan handed over the silver. "Don't tell them too much. If they ask to see me, just say I'm not here."

Feeling that this was a bit vague, Li Jinglan said word by word: "Our family does not associate with the Hu family."

The entire Hu family made their fortune by lending money at high interest rates, and every ounce of silver in the family is stained with blood and tears.

In her previous life, Xia Jifang had a particularly good relationship with the Hu family's son.

She said it several times, but Xia Jifang didn't listen.

Later, the Hu family's practice of lending money at high interest finally angered the government, and their property was searched and confiscated.

The entire family, men, women and children, were sold into slavery.

Xia Jifang actually wanted to plead for the Hu family, but was suppressed by Li Jinglan.

Seeing the servant coming back, the mistress of the Hu family called him over to ask.

"What did Li say?"

The servant answered honestly: "I have never met the eldest lady of the Lu family. I only spoke a few words to the housekeeper of his family."

The servant handed over the money.

"Didn't you say we only need capital?" The mistress of the Hu family was a little surprised.

"The Lu family's housekeeper said that it was the right amount. I said I wanted to see their eldest lady, but the housekeeper said she wasn't at home."

What's not at home?

If she wasn't at home, how could the housekeeper dare to take out eleven taels of silver?

This is clearly an excuse.

Li Jinglan doesn't want to see her?

Fortunately, she specially asked the housekeeper to accompany her.

Li Jinglan didn't give her any face at all.

The mistress of the Hu family clenched her fingers in anger: "A mere scholar really thinks she is so important? She has offended us, the gentry and the wise men. She will suffer in the future."

Just then, a servant came forward and whispered something in the ear of the mistress of the Hu family.

The mistress of the Hu family raised the corners of her lips, with an expression of surprise and amusement on her face.

"Wu Fangfei has moved to Xia's house?"

She found it ridiculous when she thought about it.

The Xia family is now bustling with activity.

This news.

Li Jinglan also heard about it at the same time.

Zhao Zhengyi's family described it vividly: "It is said that Miss Wu's mother is ill. Master Xia was very worried when he heard about it, so he sent someone to deliver a ginseng."

"Then he saw that the Wu family was poor and couldn't bear to see Miss Wu suffer, so he sent a carriage to take Miss Wu to the Xia family to accompany the pregnant Li Fengxian."

"..."Li Jinglan was speechless.

Why send ginseng because of illness, and why see that Wu Fangfei's family is poor?

The two of them must have hooked up first, and then Xia Jifang took the person home.

Xia Jifang is also an idiot.

The news of my wife's pregnancy spread everywhere?

In this life, she changed the life trajectories of many people.

However, I didn't expect that Wu Fangfei's life trajectory would still follow the same path as her previous life.

Li Jinglan sighed softly.

……

Li Fengxian was almost going crazy.

From the moment Wu Fangfei stepped through the door, Li Fengxian almost went crazy.

She was always on guard against Wu Fangfei and did not allow Xia Jifang and Wu Fangfei to meet.

He didn't give Wu Fangfei a good look either.

Why did Wu Fangfei come to the Xia family again?

He was brought in by Xia Jifang.

"Why are you so cheap? Why are you so shameless? You can't live without seducing other people's men, right?"

Li Fengxian cursed Wu Fangfei.

"Doesn't your brother want to take the imperial examination? Why are you so eager to be someone else's servant? Aren't you afraid of bringing disgrace to the family? Aren't you afraid of delaying your brother's imperial examination?"

"Who would be so eager to become someone else's concubine if they were a decent girl? If you are so short of men, why don't you go to Ruyi Tower? There are more men there! They can serve you better."
