She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jinrong looked at their bewildered expressions and couldn’t help but chuckle. He asked Wong Qiao, "When Father-in-law Qi didn’t give that speech just now, you seemed very hesitant and appeared reluctant to work in the government office. What were you thinking then?"

Wong Qiao was somewhat embarrassed. Having the opportunity to work in the government office was a favor from Sixth Master, a top-notch matter. Yet he hadn’t responded with eager agreement, which was quite disrespectful. But he was truly only interested in the Craftsmanship Sector, where he could witness many more new things at his granduncle’s Construction Business.

Wong Qiao said, "I used to work on construction projects assigned by the government office when I followed the Construction Industry. Those projects all proceeded the old way, and even if the scale was large, it was nothing more than following the same old path. There were plenty of tasks but no novelty. In our own Construction Business, we took on fresh tasks, and with Ye Zi guiding us, I could see and learn about many things and skills I’d never encountered before. I want to work with my granduncles, Fourth Uncle, and Ye Zi to improve my skills."

Jinrong nodded, "No wonder, despite your young age, many veteran craftsmen look at you differently. You take the artisan’s skills as a pleasure to delve into, which sets you above those who just use their craft for profit."

He then turned back, smiling as he asked Cheung Wusi, "Master Cheung, you must be quite willing for Wong Qiao to become an official, right?"

Cheung Wusi glanced at Qi Younian, silent for a moment before sighing and saying, "I think, what Sixth Master said is indeed a path of advancement for a craftsman. Among the seven brothers, Lao Qi was the youngest. He didn’t even get to see his son’s face before he lost his life early on the Northern border. If Ah Qiao could work in the government office, and even secure an official rank with distinction...,"

Cheung Wusi’s face looked rather pale, "I think if Lao Qi knew this from the afterlife, he would surely be comforted. But... if we’re talking about learning the craft, I also feel that working with Ye Zi indeed allows seeing and learning more, hence perfecting the skill."

Jinrong was silent.
