A similar situation happened in the Xi family.
Old Master Xi was happy and went to call his mahjong friends to play mahjong.
Xi Xinheng also wanted to take his son’s iron table stove to the study to work.
Xi Rui certainly refused and stopped him.
“This is mine, you can’t take it.”
Xi Xinheng glanced at him and said: “You are a dandy running around outside every day, you won’t use it at all, it’s a waste.”
“I go to the study to work every day, just make the best use of it.”
Xi Rui choked: “……”
Who’s dandily offended you?
He curled his lips into a smile: “Go find your father.”
Xi Xinheng felt itchy: “How can a son look for his father? Only a father looks for his son.”
“Okay, you’re going to show off your sweaters and trousers, so go quickly.”
Then he urged: “Otherwise, the kid from the Liang family will steal the limelight.”
Xi Rui, who was still angry, immediately widened his eyes and patted his legs: “Yes, I can’t let him steal the limelight first.”
Then he ran out of the yard without hesitation: “I’ll come back to find you.”
Xi Xinheng looked at his son who quickly disappeared and curled his lips, “Little guy, you’re still a little naive to fight with your father.”
He turned around happily and asked the servant to move the iron table stove to his study.
Then he went to have tea with his friends in his sweaters and trousers.
It was rare for his son to show off, and it would be uncomfortable if he didn’t go out to show off.
Since Fei Yuzhe was still in Nanxi County with his nephew, the Fei family did not encounter such a situation.
However, the old man and the old lady were very happy and praised Fei Yuzhe in front of their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons.
The people in other families were jealous.
Fei Yuzhe’s father also had two sets, which he changed into that day, and deliberately showed off in front of his brothers.
Look, who said that his son only knew how to eat, drink and have fun? His son was filial!
Soon, Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao met at the old place.
Xi Rui arrived first because of his father’s reminder.
After showing off his clothes, he asked the dandy who played with him to try the set that he deliberately took out to show off, but did not intend to let him wear it.
Liang Youxiao came with clothes and socks.
Seeing that Xi Rui had finished showing off, he felt uncomfortable.
If his father hadn’t stopped him from snatching the iron table stove, he wouldn’t have delayed.
He asked Xi Rui: “Have you given your iron table stove away?”
Xi Rui rolled his eyes: “Don’t mention it, I gave it to the old lady and the old man, and then attracted the wolf my father.”
Liang Youxiao, who was originally listless, instantly jumped up: “Your iron table stove was also stolen?”
Xi Rui nodded: “That’s right.”
He said thankfully: “If my sweater and trousers had different sizes, my father and brother wouldn’t have been able to wear them, they would have been snatched away.”
His brother couldn’t wear them either, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to show them off.
Liang Youxiao patted his shoulder with the same feeling: “We are brothers in distress!”
His two brothers ran to the yard and asked for sweaters and trousers.
Luckily, they couldn’t put them on after trying, otherwise, where would his things be?
His clothes were too big for his grandfather, father, and two brothers, so it was even impossible for them to get them.
Therefore, they kept asking him to write to Nanxi County as soon as possible and get a few sets for them.
Xi Rui snorted: “That’s right, we all met a shameless father.”
He was sure that his iron table stove would be gone after he returned.
Liang Youxiao sighed: “It’s annoying, I was thinking of asking you to play mahjong at home.”
Now he has no choice. If he takes people to his father’s study to play mahjong, his legs will probably break first.
Xi Rui also sighed: “That’s right.”
Both of them thought in their hearts that the old grandfather was still cool.
Old Master Liang and Old Master Xi were drinking tea and playing mahjong with their old friends at this time, very leisurely.
Sure enough, they received envious eyes from their old friends.
What’s more, they wanted sweaters, trousers, and iron table stoves.
So they pestered the two old men.
The two old men could only take out a pair of wool socks and give them to each of them, and then reluctantly sent them away.
The next day, the court meeting was held.
The three old men who had already taken leave all came to the morning court.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the three of them. Every winter, several old men would take leave due to physical discomfort.
Especially, Old Master Liang and Old Master Xi must have taken leave for almost the entire winter. Why did they both come today?
A colleague who had a good relationship with Old Master Xi smiled and said: “Old man, you came to the morning court today!”
Old Master Xi deliberately pointed to the exposed high-necked sweater: “My grandson is filial. He went out of town to buy me a sweater and trousers. I feel warm now, so I came to the court.”
The Colleague: “……”
Going to the court is fake, and showing off is the truth.
The same situation happened to Old Master Liang.
Grandpa Fei was more reserved. After all, he was a first-rank civil official, and there was a difference between him and the two who were born as military generals.
But he also showed his grandson how filial he was. The sweater and trousers were comfortable and warm.
Even Mo Qingling’s grandfather and uncles showed off their grandson/nephews’ filial piety.
Even if they were officials outside, they were thinking about them.
Mo Qingling’s father, who hadn’t received a single thing, had a gloomy face.
Xi Xinheng and the other three fathers were the same. They showed off their fatherly love and filial piety.
Mo Qingling’s father felt sour when he saw the three people. What was there to show off about a dandy son?
He couldn’t help but secretly curse his son who was far away in Nanxi County for being unfilial. Even a dandy could be filial to his grandfather and father, but that bastard only thought of his grandfather and uncles.
It also made the ministers curious about sweaters and trousers. Were they that comfortable to wear?
Of course, they were also very jealous.
What kind of world was this? Even the dandies were so filial. How come their sons, who they thought were promising, were not even as good as the dandies?
No, they will teach their sons harder after they go back. It was outrageous.
Then they saw the Emperor who came to the morning court, wearing a turtleneck sweater under his dragon robe.
The Ministers: “……”
Forget it, no need to be curious, it must be comfortable to wear!
So after the court, the four old men and three fathers were surrounded by their colleagues, and they all asked about the sweaters and trousers.
By the way, they were shown an iron table stove for playing mahjong. Cough, it was wonderful to use for office work.
So Xi Rui and others, who had not yet succeeded in showing off their sweaters and trousers, showed off their filial piety.
Of course, because of this, both the iron table stove and the sweaters and trousers became popular.
Anyone who wears a set of sweaters and trousers will be envied.
Some people asked Xi Rui and others to help buy them.
But these three people were from wealthy families, and many people can’t afford them.
In order not to fall behind, they sent servants to Nanxi County to buy.
So many people saw the business opportunity and immediately rushed to Nanxi County.
However, Xi Rui and others were still one step faster. They wrote a letter immediately on the same day and sent it to Nanxi County by the fastest post station.
Shi Qingluo was also prepared and recruited more female workers.
But she couldn’t keep up with the speed of selling sweaters and trousers.
Because Mo Qingling, Master Hou, and Bai Xu put on sweaters and trousers, they attracted a wave of powerful families or rich families in the county town. They all went to Xiaxi Village to buy them.
After receiving the letter from Xi Rui and others, Shi Qingluo had to continue to expand the scale.
This time, she not only recruited female workers in nearby villages but also recruited from the whole county.
She also rented a large yard in the county town to provide accommodation for the women workers who came from far away.
The news that the woolen workshop was recruiting workers soon spread throughout Nanxi County.
As a result, the name Shi Qingluo became popular again, and won the admiration and gratitude of many women.
