Chapter 11 The Elusive Things Are Going Well

After coming out, he saw the group of women gathered around again. Everyone had very longing and anxious eyes. This time Fang Yizhi said directly: "You can all stay. When the time comes, ask Madam to arrange what you will do. Madam

I feel unwell now, please get out of the way!"

Upon hearing Fang Yizhi's promise, these women immediately expressed their gratitude to Fang Yizhi and Gu Heng, and immediately moved out of the way.

All the way to the carriage, the carriage began to move. Fang Yizhicai released his hand covering Gu Heng's mouth. Gu Heng immediately asked: "Master Fang, Boss Dai just misunderstood our relationship, why didn't you let me explain?"

"Mrs. Hengbo, you...you really don't want to get married now?"

Unexpectedly, Fang Yizhi not only did not answer his own question, but also asked himself whether to marry or not, which made Gu Heng puzzled. Gu Heng always felt that it was fine that Boss Dai made a shocking statement today, but why did Fang Yizhi do so today?

Doesn’t it look very smart?

"What does it have to do with you whether I get married or not? Besides, I have no plans to get married in this life! I just want to do what I want to do!" Although he found Fang Yizhi's behavior unpredictable, Gu Heng still said it.

My own plans for getting married.

"Oh! I know!" Fang Yizhi said with some disappointment.

Fang Yizhi originally thought that if Gu Heng was willing to get married, he would take her as his concubine and free her from the misery of a brothel. Fang Yizhi already had a wife and children. He originally didn't care much about the relationship between men and women. Marrying a wife and having children would be of great significance to her.

For him, it was a necessity just like eating, but he didn't necessarily like it, but he suddenly seemed to have a feeling of liking for the woman in front of him.

Especially when Master Dai mentioned the kind of pity and love he wanted to give to the woman in front of him, he would always give it to her!

It's a pity that she doesn't seem to want it!

But why does she plan not to marry for the rest of her life?

When Gu Heng saw Fang Yizhi's depressed look, he was even more puzzled: Huh? This reaction is not normal! Wasn't Yizhi in history always concerned about the country and the people? How can you ask yourself such a small thing?

"Master Fang, you don't look happy, why?" Gu Heng still couldn't help but asked Fang Yizhi out of curiosity.

"It's nothing, I'm just wondering if you really won't get married in the future?" Fang Yizhi said calmly.

"That's natural. I was born in a brothel, and it's rare for me to have a good match. Why bother dreaming about it? It's better to earn more money down-to-earth, and when you have the ability, do more practical things for the people, that's it!" Gu Heng gave a personal statement.

I think it fits the interpretation of women in this era.

"actually……"

"What's actually going on?" Seeing that Fang Yizhi was about to speak but hesitated, Gu Heng couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, I want to ask, what if someone really appreciates you and really wants to pity you? Would you become someone's concubine?" Fang Yizhi took a deep breath and said.

"Master Fang, are you kidding me? I don't even want to marry, let alone be a concubine?" Gu Heng replied speechlessly.

"I know it's because of your identity, but if someone really wants to pity you and doesn't despise your identity, wouldn't you want to do that too?"

"I don't want to! I don't even want to die!" Unexpectedly, Fang Yizhi would not finish it, so Gu Heng had to answer firmly again.

"Okay! Then I'll get off the carriage and go to the government to go through the relevant procedures. You wait for me on the carriage!" At this time, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the government, and Fang Yizhi finally stopped talking about "whether to marry or not".

Let’s discuss the problem with Gu Heng!

Gu Heng nodded in agreement. After Fang Yizhi left, Gu Heng patted his chest gently and lamented again that Fang Yizhi's behavior today was too unpredictable. If Gu Heng hadn't understood what Fang Yizhi was like in history.

, Gu Heng almost thought that Fang Yizhi was going to become the male protagonist in a romance novel!

However, let’s not worry about Fang Yizhi for now, let’s think about how to deal with the women that Fang Yizhi promised before. Since we agreed to those women, it means that basically all the female workers in the textile workshop will come, because they will do it.

Female workers are all here to earn money to support their families, but after their new textile machines come out, they don’t need so many people. What should they do?

Just when Gu Heng was thinking hard for a long time and still had no good solution, Fang Yizhi came back. He gave Gu Heng a bunch of things and then said to Gu Heng happily: "Hengbo, everything is done, but...

I found that there are many textile workshops in Jinling and nearby cities. If we produce a lot of cotton cloth, how can we sell them all?"

The problem raised by Fang Yizhi is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible. Gu Hengdao said: "We produce more cotton cloth at one time, require fewer people, and have less long-term costs. We can make small profits but quick turnover, and we can also sell it to other places that are short of cotton cloth."

,and……"

"And I know how to deal with those women. The extra cotton cloth can be used to make something, but it's not convenient to tell you about it." Gu Heng said excitedly.

"What exactly is it?" Fang Yizhi was a little curious.

"It's about something for women, so I better not tell you about it yet." Gu Heng felt that such things are for women after all, so he didn't tell Fang Yizhi about it yet. It always felt weird.

"Okay then, let me take a look at the head office after you get it out!" Fang Yizhi said.

"Okay, you can watch it when the time comes!" Gu Heng saw Fang Yizhi and let him go.

"Get that thing of yours out as soon as possible. I will stay in Jinling for a month at most and then go to the capital." Fang Yizhi suddenly said about his trip to the capital.

"You're leaving so soon?" Gu Heng was a little surprised.

"I have won the national examination and will take part in the joint examination in Beijing next year. It is time to leave in a month. I still need to settle in the capital, prepare for the exam, etc." Fang Yizhi explained patiently.

Listening to Fang Yizhi's explanation, Gu Heng suddenly remembered that according to historical records, Fang Yizhi was a Jinshi in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and was then selected as a Shujishi. Someone recommended Fang Yizhi to Emperor Chongzhen, and Chongzhen summoned him.

In the Hall of Dezheng, Fang Yizhi was "confidential in his words, and his superiors were kind". He was appreciated by Emperor Chongzhen and was awarded an official position in the capital for review by the Hanlin Academy.

Moreover, Fang Yizhi was the only one among the four young masters in the late Ming Dynasty who won the Jinshi!

Thinking of this, Gu Heng congratulated him in advance: "Young Master Fang, you will definitely be able to go to high school! I wish you good luck in your advancement!"

"Thank you, but it's too early to talk about high school and promotion, but I will work hard!" Fang Yizhi's eyes were very firm when he talked about working hard.

"You can do it. You are so handsome, so hard-working, so talented, and so dedicated to serving the country and the people. It would be unreasonable for you to fail!" Gu Heng joked.

"Okay, Hengbo, don't laugh at me. Should I send you back to Meilou or to the textile workshop?" Fang Yizhi asked seriously.

"Go back to Meilou, I still have some things to deal with in Meilou." Gu Heng also stopped playing around and said seriously.
