Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

The group of people left Lu's house and walked to the street, where they saw Lu Shengcai walking down the street with a middle-aged man, talking and laughing.

Xiao Qi had sharp eyes and waved to him: "Grandpa, grandpa!"

"Xiao Qi?" Lu Shengcai was very happy to see Xiao Qi. He trotted towards Xiao Qi and picked her up.

The grandfather and grandson bumped their foreheads, and Xiao Qi chuckled.

"Is this the Jiedushi's wife? Zhao Jing has met her before." The middle-aged man walking with Lu Shengcai hugged Su Qingyu.

Lu Shengcai introduced them to them. Su Qingyu nodded towards the other party as a greeting.

"President Lu, since you have something to do, let's talk about it another day."

"Okay, sorry for the neglect. I'll treat you to a drink tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting."

After the middle-aged man left, Lu Shengcai saw that Su Qingyu wanted to visit the iron shop, so he took Su Qingyu there.

"Dad, are you doing well in the Chamber of Commerce business now?"

When Lu Shengcai saw her asking, he nodded happily: "It goes by the way. Everyone knows that I am Bo Cheng's father. Now that he is walking on the road, everyone looks up to him. We also get along smoothly with foreign merchants and the blacksmiths in Xuzhou. ”

Lu Shengcai listened to Su Qingyu's suggestion and acted as a bridge between foreign merchants and local blacksmiths. He thought he was just a matchmaker. Unexpectedly, slowly, a chamber of commerce was established, and more and more shops joined in. in.

Now this chamber of commerce has played a great role in stabilizing ironware prices in Xuzhou, balancing the relationship between craftsmen and merchants, adjusting production capacity, and playing a great role in Xuzhou's ironware business.

This made Lu Bocheng and Xuzhou Yamen less worried.

And Lu Shengcai was respected by everyone, both high and low. When walking on the road, who wouldn't call him President? Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, many people are fawning over him.

He thought about how difficult it was for Lu Bocheng. He was busy every day and devoted himself to this task. In addition, he is fair and just in dealing with things, so blacksmith shops and foreign merchants love to look for him.

Now that he has fame, fortune and money, his second wife is also living a prosperous life. Even Lu Bozu’s private school is not short of students.

Lu Shengcai's position as president went smoothly, and he himself was happy every day.

Life was getting better, and Lu Shengcai looked several years younger than when he first came to Xuzhou. He was holding Xiaoqi and walking like a tiger, without breathing at all.

"Xiaoqi misses grandpa?"

"Think about it, grandpa hasn't seen Xiao Qi for two days."

"It's grandpa's fault. Grandpa has been busy entertaining the caravans from outside these two days and forgot to see Xiao Qi. Can grandpa take Xiao Qi to watch a sideshow later?"

"Okay, let's watch the fire-breathing and monkey show!"

"Okay, grandpa will take our Xiaoqi there in a moment."

When I arrived at the Lu family's blacksmith shop, I saw people coming and going at the door. Lu Bozong and Mu were entertaining the merchants who came to purchase.

The couple greeted each other very well.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Lu Bozong and Mu saw Su Qingyu coming and hurriedly came over to say hello.

Su Qingyu nodded towards the two of them and smiled: "Xiao Qi is bored at home, I will take her out for a walk."

Lu Bozong then turned to tease Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi is bored at home? Can I take you to buy something delicious later?"

"No, grandpa will take Xiao Qi to see a sideshow and a monkey show later. Grandpa will buy some delicious food for Xiao Qi."

"Then Xiaoqi will come see your uncle tomorrow and your uncle will take you to play."

"Then I have to ask my mother tomorrow."

The little girl looked like a little adult, which made everyone look at her with surprise.

"Xiao Qi is so cute, I want to take him home and raise him." Mu said to Su Qingyu with a smile.

Su Qingnao smiled and said: "You want a daughter, give birth to her yourself, why come to fight with me. Now that Wei Wu is older and has gone to private school, it's just the right time for you to raise another daughter."

Lu Shengcai was very happy after hearing this: "Raise it, you all will raise it, dad will help you take care of it."

Su Qingyu and Mu Shi looked at each other and smiled.

Su Qingyu walked around the shop and saw that the shop's front was twice as big as when it first opened. There were all kinds of ironware on the shelves. The workmanship was very good and they were all new. It seems business is good.

"It seems that the craftsman we hired is very good." Su Qingyu looked around.

"Yes. These craftsmen are very good at their craftsmanship. I can't even finish the orders I'm taking now. I'm thinking about hiring a few more craftsmen." Lu Bozong's business has grown now, and he is fat and generous.

"It's not easy to hire good craftsmen." Lu Shengcai said.

"If you don't want to hire us, we can train them ourselves and let a few craftsmen help bring out a group of apprentices. Even if they can't work in the future, we will give them a pension every month to support them in their old age and write it into the contract. Don’t be afraid that they won’t take apprentices.”

Su Qingyu suggested.

Lu Shengcai and Lu Bozong's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. Once we say we are willing to support them in their old age, they will definitely be willing to help us train apprentices."

"Sister-in-law, you still have an idea!" Lu Bozong gave her a thumbs up. He was still worried about where to hire the craftsmen.

Su Qingyu smiled. These days, skilled craftsmen are easily reluctant to teach their skills. I am afraid that the master will starve to death after teaching the apprentice.

But if we give them some welfare conditions so that they can maintain a living security even when they can't work, they should be willing to do so.

Su Qingyu only made suggestions and didn't care about how to operate.

After looking around, he left the shop.

Xiaoqi followed her grandfather to watch the sideshow, and Su Qingyu went to the Iron Street to have a look, and also to her own shop. After walking around, I saw that business was getting more and more prosperous, and I felt very good.

Xuzhou can now support an army of 200,000 people due to the tax revenue from iron mines. Both Lu Bocheng and her breathed a sigh of relief.

When he returned to the house, he saw Qing Xing there.

Staring at her: "Why are you here again?"

"Sister, why don't you want me anymore when I get married?" Qingxing pouted with a look of aggrieved face.

"Don't I want you? You're already married, and you still run to my sister every day. Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will have objections?"

"Grandpa said that there were many things going on at the Yamen in the evening and he wouldn't come back for dinner. Pei Chi also went to Haizhou. I'm at home alone. It's too boring to eat alone. Sister, doesn't the house still have a bowl of rice for me?"

Su Qingyu glared at her, is this a matter of a bowl of rice?

This girl is married, but she still runs to her every day, saying that she misses Xiaoqi, and that the food in the house is delicious, so she has to find excuses to come over to eat, just like a child who can't live without her mother.

Pei Zhi was so busy now that she was the only master in the huge Pei Mansion during the day. Qing Xing couldn't adapt to it, so she ran to Su Qingnao every day.

Su Qingyu also understood her.

"Can I save you a bowl of rice? But you can't come over when your grandfather is here. It would be so lonely if you let the old man eat at home alone. Marrying you home will be the same as not marrying him."

"Don't worry, how can I know? I came because my grandfather said he wouldn't come back for dinner."

Su Qingyu nodded her forehead.

He said: "Now your brother-in-law is fighting in Caozhou, and he has to send military rations and various military supplies from the rear. Your grandfather will probably be busy for a while."
