Chapter 566

After walking around the villa for a while, Princess Ren was a little tired from leaving, so Chen Wan found a pavilion to sit. Seeing this, Qiuju hurriedly ordered someone to bring tea and snacks.

Princess Ren looked out of the rockery and said, "This farm is pretty good. Not to mention, the scenery here is also good."

The scenery of this villa is also very good. Although it is not gorgeous and rich, it is precious because of its elegance. After entering this villa and looking at these scenery, my heart calms down.

Chen Wan smiled and said, "I think this farm is good, so I will buy it."

"By the way," Princess Ren looked at Chen Wan and said, "Have you been married to your younger brother's hometown?"

Princess Liufang's eyelids drooped and her ears were raised nervously.

Chen Wan frowned and thought for a while. She had never heard of Ming'er having been married in her hometown. However, Ming'er was only seventeen and should have not been engaged yet.

Chen Wan shook her head, "It shouldn't be." Suddenly, when she saw Princess Liufang heard her answer, she looked relieved. She smiled and said, "Why, the princess wants to be a matchmaker for my younger brother?"

The media made by Princess Ruoren is Princess Liufang. She believes that Ming'er should be very happy.

Princess Ren smiled and said, "I would be happy if I could be a matchmaker. In the past few days, many ladies have asked me if your brother has been engaged to marry me, and asked me to help me ask."

Because of Fang'er, others thought she had some relationship with the Shen family and should be clear about the matters of the Shen family, so they all came to ask her.

"Oh..." Chen Wan dragged her tail tone and nodded.

"Will Chen Zhuangyuan have someone he likes?" Princess Ren asked again.

Chen Wan looked at Princess Liufang again, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard him say this, but he is still young, so there should be no hurry to get into this marriage."

Princess Ren said: "Yes, Chen Zhuangyuan is only seventeen years old, and he is indeed young. He is also a young talent. Now many young ladies in the imperial city who are not settled are staring at him!"

This Chen Zhuangyuan is not only young, but also a talented person. She looks very beautiful. How could these unmarried ladies not fall in love with him? She also thinks that Chen Zhuangyuan is a good son-in-law, and her daughter's family would rather marry than be high, so that her in-laws can hold on to her than bully her. However, this Chen Zhuangyuan is still too low for her.

Chen Wan said in her heart: "Ming'er is a hot commodity now!"

"By the way, all the candidates who have won the Jinshi are going to return home to worship their ancestors. When Chen Zhuangyuan returns home, should Mrs. Chen go back together?" Princess Liufang asked as she looked at Chen Wan.

According to the rules of the Dongchen Kingdom, those who passed the Jinshi had to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors and be grateful to their parents and neighbors. After the imperial court assigned official positions, they would give them two months off to return home to worship their ancestors in glory, and then take the post.

However, except for the top scholar, second-place winner and Tanhua, Jinshi, who have to wait for the imperial court to assign official positions, they may have to wait for a long time.

A top scholar like Chen Ming did not have to wait for the assignment to go directly to the Hanlin Academy. So when the imperial court's order was issued, he could return home.

Mrs. Chen has been in the imperial city for many years, but she is afraid that she has not seen her parents for a long time, so Princess Liufang wondered if she would return home with Chen Ming because she missed her parents.

Chen Wan hadn't thought about this yet, but she wanted to go back to see her parents who had not seen for many years and do her best to do her filial piety. However, in this situation, she is afraid that she will not be able to get tired of it.

She naturally couldn't make it clear that she couldn't go far away now, so she said, "I want to go back to my hometown to see the two elders. I still have two children at home, so I'm afraid I can't go back with Ming'er."

Princess Ren smiled and said, "Actually, Chen Zhuangyuan will also work in Hanlin in the future. You are also in the imperial city, so why not bring the two elders to the imperial city?"

Chen Wan heard this and nodded with a smile, "This is OK. I will talk to Ming'er and let him take the two elders over when he returns home."

Although the original owner's parents were not poor, they were not rich. Moreover, Ming'er became an official in the imperial city in the future and could not return to his hometown. Without children by his side, his parents were naturally lonely. It would be better to call Ming'er back home and directly take the two elders to the imperial city to enjoy their happiness.

In order to return to the city in front of Guancheng Gate, Princess Ren and the others left without leaving for dinner.

During dinner in the evening, Chen Wan raised the idea of ​​bringing her parents to the imperial city, and Chen Ming also thought this idea was very good.

At the end of February, Song Ziling and Lu Wenzhi Academy were on holiday. In the afternoon of that day, Chen Wan asked Lu Wenqin to pick up people in a carriage.

Song Ziling kindly invited Lin Chen and Lin Buyu to go to the house to play with him, but the two refused on the grounds that they had an arrangement.

It’s not that Lin Chen and Lin Buyu didn’t want to go, but that they felt that it was not good to go to their juniors’ house to eat and drink, and they didn’t want others to say that they were competing with the powerful, although they especially wanted to have a good exchange with the new top student.

These days, posts invited Chen Ming to a poem, tea party, and flower viewing party were handed into the Ichyun Villa like snowflakes. However, Chen Ming did not even go, but only went to the poetry meeting held by Yun Qingyang and a few students of Qingyun Academy.

Chen Wan also received a lot of posts from birthday parties and flower viewing parties, but she declined on the grounds of being unwell. Naturally, she also knew that there were suddenly so many posts inviting her to the banquet because of the top scholar in her family.

Sun Chun's jar was ready, Chen Wan and others made two hundred cans of chili sauce each and delivered it to the shop selling kimchi.

This flavor of chili sauce was placed on the shelves for two days but no one cared about it. So Chen Wan thought of a way to send some to Zhaixing Tower. She asked Manager Zhao to give these three flavors of chili sauce to each table of guests.

The guests praised the food after eating it, so they wanted to order it again. Manager Zhao told them that the sauce was only delivered and not ordered at a single order. If the guests like it, they would go to the shop in Andinghou.

The sauce was only given for one day, and the reputation of the Shenganma chili sauce was made out. Within two days of the time, the chili sauce was sold out. The one who bought the most was the students of Qingyun Academy.

Chen Wan asked Sun Chun to make more kimchi jars and jars to prepare for mass production.

This large-scale production naturally requires recruitment of workers, but it is not good for workers to come in and out of the village. Workers are not as good as maids and servants, and do not sign contracts for sale, so there are still certain safety hazards for those who come in and out of the village.

After thinking about it, Chen Wan decided to build a factory near the villa, which happened to be the only one she had.

After a visit around, Chen Wan decided to build two factories and a row of dormitories on the fields 500 meters away from Lishan Villa, one producing kimchi and the other producing her flavored chili sauce.

When the factory was started, Chen Ming's order was also brought down. He went to Hanlin Academy to work as a editor without any surprise. Although he was only a sixth-rank official, he often stayed by the emperor and was promoted and raised quickly.

The day he returned home was also set, which was scheduled for the tenth day of March. Chen Wan prepared two carts for him. In addition to the four officials assigned to him by the court, Chen Wan also hired him four attendants who could punch and kick skills and stuffed him two thousand taels of silver notes.

After seeing off Chen Ming, Chen Wan, who had improved her pregnancy, began to focus on her career.

Twenty days later, the factory is built and it is ready to recruit people.

However, there was no village near her villa, so she brought Qiuju, Zhiqiu and Lu Wenqin into the city to recruit people.

So, they set up a long table at the entrance of Zhaixing Tower and put up a sign for recruiting talents. Because this street is the most lively and has the most people, and it is next to the market, many villagers who come to the city to buy or sell things come and go.

Chen Wan sat at the door for a long time. Although there were many people staring at her talent sign, none of them asked.

Those little girls and women wearing coarse cloth clothes on their backs did not look at her talented sign at all.

Later she understood that people who can understand her brand will not do her job. People who can do her job will not read her brand. After all, not everyone can read.

So she said to Qiuju: "Qiuju, please shout out all the conditions and treatment for us to recruit workers."

"Are you recruiting workers?" A little girl wearing coarse cloth clothes, a little thin, with a combed hair, walked up and asked timidly.

On the standing sign, she only recognized the word "recruitment". She didn't know what the conditions required for this person to recruit. If it weren't for the lack of rice at home, the restaurant shopkeeper who was washing dishes touched her, she wouldn't dare to go again, and she wouldn't ask anyone with shamelessness.

"Are you literate?" Chen Wan asked as she looked at the little girl.

The little girl shook her head and said, "I can't recognize it completely, I can only recognize a few."

"What's the name?" Chen Wan asked again.

"Li Xiuer."

"We do recruit workers here, and the recruitment age is between thirteen and forty years old. The workplace is about ten miles away from the city, and it is used to make food. A monthly fee of 2 taels of silver is available. If you are not late for one month, there will be a full attendance prize of 2 taels of silver. At the end of the year, there will be a year-end bonus of 4 taels of silver, and food and accommodation can be provided. However, if you stay, you will have to deduct 100% of the accommodation fee from the monthly fee every month."

In fact, Chen Wan didn't miss this hundred cents, just because the workers didn't want to accommodate food and accommodation, and they stayed not far away, so she only deducted a hundred cents of accommodation for this accommodation.

Xiu'er didn't hear what Chen Wan said at all? She was stunned when she heard only two taels of silver per month.

Where do you find a job worth two taels of silver a month these days?

"I'm fourteen, can I?" Xiu'er stared at Chen Wan with her big eyes sunken because of her thinness.

Chen Wan smiled and said, "Of course."

"Then you call me!" Xiu'er looked a little excited.

"Let's register first."

Chen Wan asked Xiu'er some questions before she asked Lu Wenqin to register her and asked her to go to Tuyun Villa to report the day after tomorrow.
