Xia Zhiqiu learned from Da Lian on the second day that Ouyang Huaiyu was ordered to train elite soldiers, and immediately felt that even God was helping her, as long as Ouyang Huaiyu was not by Xia Zhixue's side, then her plan would be smoother.

At the dinner table of the Xia family, Xia Zhiqiu talked about Xia Zhixue intentionally or unintentionally.

She sighed lightly and said, "Father, my sister hasn't been home for a few days, and one of her daughters' house is now nowhere to be seen outside, which is not good." ”

But Xia Huaiqing surprised Xia Zhiqiu and didn't care, but instead helped Xia Zhixue speak: "Your sister is now in charge of the silk weaving factory, so naturally she has to be busy, what do those gossiping people outside know!" ”

"Father, how busy can this silk weaving factory be, doesn't it even have time to eat and sleep? I think she has hope and won't come home rarely! Xia Zhiqiu added oil and vinegar, and even his tone improved.

Xia Huaiqing slammed the chopsticks on the table, and said with an ugly face: "Shut up, do you know who you are talking about with the word "hope"!" ”

Xia Zhiqiu originally meant Ouyang Huaiyu, but he didn't expect Xia Huaiqing to be so angry, he felt very innocent, and said with a bitter face: "Why does my father have such a big temper, I just said it casually." ”

"Some things can be said casually, some things can never be said, are you a child, don't you even understand this truth? The vassal country's visit is a major event in the imperial court, it is a good thing that Your Majesty can hand over such a big matter to her, and it can also give me the Xia family face, and the glory of the ancestors, why are you so short-sighted! Xia Huaiqing pointed to Xia Zhiqiu, and he didn't fight anywhere.

When Xia Zhiqiu heard this, she was a little stunned, she only knew that the silk weaving factory had been busy recently, but she didn't know why it was so busy.

"Father, I'm really just talking casually, but what does this have to do with the feudal kingdom?"

Seeing that she didn't know, Xia Huaiqing thought that it might really be casually, and said to her anger that was mostly gone: "The vassal kingdom is here, and the emperor ordered the silk weaving factory to be responsible for the return gift to the vassal kingdom this time." Zhiqiu, look at your sister, although she is not as old as you, but she has ideas and foresight, you should learn from her in the future. Our family is just your three children, your brother, alas," Xia Huaiqing sighed as he said, "I don't count on your younger brother, our Xia family can count on you two sisters in the future!" ”

"Yes, what my father said is that I will learn more from my sister in the future." Xia Zhiqiu remained well-behaved on her face, but she already hated it in her heart, she wanted to use her father to suppress Xia Zhixue's arrogance, but she didn't want to be taught a lesson.

What made her even more angry was that the emperor trusted her so much and handed over such a big burden to Xia Zhixue, if this was really meritorious, wouldn't it make Xia Zhixue grow her face and be even more lawless? Looks like she's going to have to speed up.

Early the next morning, Xia Zhiqiu went to the silk weaving factory, but this time she went in a dignified manner.

Xia Zhixue couldn't believe it when she heard that Xia Zhiqiu was here at first, and when she saw her when she went out of the room, she was even more puzzled.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Zhixue asked her nonchalantly, anyway, there must be no good thing where there is her.

Xia Zhiqiu reversed his previous attitude towards Xia Zhixue, and eagerly stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "Sister, I'm here to learn from you." Yesterday, my father said that I should study with my sister, but no, I came early in the morning. ”

"I don't have anything to study here, sister, you better go back quickly!" Xia Zhixue sneered in her heart, she didn't have any scheming here for her to learn.

Xia Zhiqiu was not anxious or annoyed, and said: "Why not, I heard that my sister has not been in the silk weaving factory for a long time, but the technology is already very skilled, it is better to teach my sister too, besides, this is the task given to me by my father, sister, you will not refuse." ”

When she said this, even the lotus and hibiscus behind her didn't believe a word. Number One

"Sister," Xia Zhixue took two steps back, looked Xia Zhiqiu up and down, and said, "It's not that I'm stingy and don't teach you, it's just that your fine gauze dress is really not suitable." ”

Xia Zhiqiu realized at this time that Xia Zhixue, including the lotus hibiscus, were all dressed in long pants and long shirts, with their hair coiled up, without a trace of jewelry.

"Moreover, the workers here of me, whether they are men or women, what they need most is strength, sister, you go back to practice, when will you carry the girl behind you and come to me again." After speaking, Xia Zhixue turned around and entered the factory, with her understanding of Xia Zhiqiu, she would not come here to study so simply, so she didn't bother to tell her more.

Lotus and Fleur tried hard to hold back the smile on their faces, they were looking forward to the picture of Xia Zhiqiu hugging the maid.

Looking at the backs of the three masters and servants, Xia Zhiqiu stomped his feet viciously, "Xia Zhixue, you wait for me to see how arrogant you can be." ”

"Miss, don't be angry, let's just think of another way." Seeing this, the maid behind Xia Zhiqiu hurriedly came up to comfort her.

Who knew that Xia Zhiqiu was even more angry when he saw her, and asked her to pick her up? It's ridiculous! Xia Zhixue is just insulting herself openly and secretly!

Just then, a man from a silk mill passed by her.

Xia Zhiqiu's heart suddenly came to pay attention, and he pointed at the man and shouted, "Hey, you! Come here! ”

The man didn't know Xia Zhiqiu, and she didn't look like a person from a silk weaving factory, so he walked over suspiciously and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xia Zhiqiu took off a silver hairpin from his head and said, "I have something I want to ask you, and I want to ask you half a favor." She shook the hairpin in front of the man's eyes and handed it to her.

But the man didn't take it at once, but asked, "There's no need for the girl, if you're just asking about something, just talk." ”

"You're a worker in this silk weaving factory?" Xia Zhiqiu's hairpin was not taken back, she knew that this person would definitely accept it sooner or later.

"yes."

"Great, then my question should be very simple for you," she looked around, lowered her voice slightly, and said, "I want to know something about Xia Zhixue, can you tell me a thing or two?" ”

Who knew that the man sneered, and he didn't even think about it: "Want to inquire about Miss Xia?" Why don't you ask Miss Xia herself? Look at the girl, you are also a young lady, you are doing such a sneaky thing, I think the girl should go quickly, lest someone come to invite the girl out in a while, it will not be good. The worker left half-persuaded, half-threatening.

Xia Zhiqiu's hand holding the hairpin was still frozen in mid-air.

"Miss, let's go!" The maid behind her was afraid that someone would really come to drag them away, and reminded Xia Zhiqiu in a low voice.

"Shut up!" Xia Zhiqiu's face had turned blue, but he didn't expect that the workers in this silk weaving factory were quite hard. Now that she has been startled, it is impossible to find a breakthrough from the silk weaving factory, and she can only find a way to find a way elsewhere.

From the silk weaving factory to the Xia Mansion, Xia Zhiqiu thought all the way, and finally came up with an idea the moment she stepped into the gate of the Xia Mansion, and the people who gave her a hint were the people of her family.
