Xia Ke looked at Shao Yi's expression on his face and couldn't help but smile: "Your friends are all children of big families, and doing this will benefit you more here." Their intervention will not only alleviate the shortage of mining manpower, but also make the family behind them more kind to you and Qingyunzhai. ”

Shao Yi, who had just sat down, got up again and waved at Xia Ke's father and son, but he didn't say anything more. After a while, I sat back in my chair and felt a lot of feelings.

His vision is really good, not only is his daughter-in-law a peerless woman who is hard to find with a lantern, but the Yue family is also broad-minded, and none of them are such small-bellied and calculating.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Zitang. Well, this is the only one who is a sister protector maniac, and in the matter of protecting his sister, he is really small-bellied and calculating, which is outrageous.

Xia Zitang, who has always been rectum, has been extremely sensitive in the past two days. Originally, after being rubbed by Shao Yi, his heart was quite beautiful, but when he glanced at him again, he was immediately alert: This kid, wouldn't he have such a crooked thought in his heart?

Shao Yi was not stunned at all, and returned a bright smile, as if he had no other thoughts at the glance he had just glanced.

After the serious thing was said, the next conversation was much easier, until the little maid reported that dinner was ready, and the four of them went to the dining room.

Although Shao Yi designated himself as the son-in-law of the Xia family, and Xia Ke and Xia Zixi also regarded him as a possible future son-in-law, he was still a guest after all. In order to add to the fun, two dishes were added to the dinner table, and a small pot of wine was served.

The four of them drank and ate food while chatting.

After two glasses of wine, Xia Ke asked casually: "Cheng'an is twenty-two this year, right?" ”

Shao Yi's heart jumped violently, what his father-in-law asked was exactly the same as the emperor's.

"Yes, it's twenty-two years old."

"Oh," Xia Ke nodded, and continued to ask in a casual tone, "Has the emperor asked about your family affairs recently?" ”

Shao Yi hesitated, looked at Xia Zixi, and then looked at Xia Zitang, hesitating whether to say the emperor and his question and answer in front of these two people.

Xia Zixi's side, because he had already known it in his heart, there was no change in his expression, and he was inadvertently picking up a few bamboo shoots with chopsticks and sending them to his mouth.

Xia Zitang was not calm, his eyes were round, and he looked at Xia Ke in disbelief. I deeply doubt that my father, who has always been shrewd, is he confused today? What does that mean? Could it be that his father is optimistic about Shao Yi, and he actually wants to take the initiative to give his little sister to this kid?

But this can't be done, my own little sister, how brilliant is that? I have to let this kid bother to ask for a kiss, and he can only agree to him after taking the school exam.

What's this called?

"I asked today." Shao Yi decided, picking and answering with the content.

"Oh, what did you say?"

The little nephew said that when the glass pool kiln technology can be officially put into operation, then we will discuss family affairs.

Xia Ke nodded, this was the reply he gave when Shao Yi probed his tone once, "The emperor didn't say anything, right?" ”

"This, the emperor asked the little nephew if he needed to give marriage, and the little nephew said no, I just hope that on the day of marriage, the emperor can send my grandfather-in-law to go, which is to give the little nephew face." Shao Yi was slightly embarrassed. When the emperor spoke, both in tone and expression, it showed that the emperor knew that he had not yet dealt with his daughter-in-law.

After dealing with him for such a long time, he believed that Xia Ke would definitely be able to hear the meaning of the emperor's words.

Xia Ke really smiled, and rarely sandwiched a chopstick dish to the plate Li in front of him, and said gently: "Cheng'an has a heart." ”

Shao Yi was flattered, and hurriedly held the plate with his hand, and even said "come by yourself".

Xia Zitang's eyes widened and widened, looking at the three people except him one by one. The atmosphere at this table seems to really have to be except for him. Only he was the one who was surprised and didn't understand, his father and brother and Shao Yi seemed to know it.

In the next meal, it is all kinds of entanglement, and some food is unsweet.

After eating and resting, Shao Yi said goodbye, and the Xia Zixi brothers sent him outside the door. On the way back to Xia Ke's study, Xia Zitang asked Xia Zixi: "Father just asked Shao Yi about his family, do you know anything?" ”

At the end of the autumn season, the sky was getting dark, and the two walked on the stone road, Xia Zixi looked at Xia Zitang with a smile and said, "You are the one who works with Shao Yi." His family affairs, even if you know, you know before us, right? ”

"I ......," Xia Zitang said.

He knew, first of all, he felt that if Shao Yi was his sister-in-law, he seemed to be better than others. Then not long after, I felt that my sister seemed to be a little different from Shao Yi. Two days ago, he heard with his own ears that Shao Yi, the kid, was open-mouthed to his sister-in-law...... The two seem to be in love.

The problem is that he didn't report such an important matter to his parents and brothers in time.

Xia Zixi looked at his stammering appearance, and he didn't break it, he only smiled, and said meaningfully: "In the future, when you learn from each other, you will be lighter, in case one of them is accidentally broken, our family will have one less son to choose." ”

"......" Xia Zitang was almost petrified, his brother is not a casual person, since he said such a thing, nine times out of ten, I am afraid that he is already optimistic about Shao Yi's son as a sister-in-law.

For a while, Xia Zitang couldn't say what mood he was in. My own sister-in-law is still going to get married after all.

…………

Shao Yi and Xia Zitang didn't have to talk for two days, and they went to Xia's house again, Xia Yanqing felt that Shao Yi must have something to do here, and dinner was used in Mrs. Jiang's room, and he didn't leave after dinner, and deliberately waited until Xia Ke came back.

After inquiry, I learned that the imperial court would buy back the land in Dongxi at a price of 40,000 taels of silver.

At this time, in addition to the eldest maid who was serving Mrs. Jiang closely, there were only Xia Ke and Xia Yanqing in the room.

Wu Jinshi is such a professional and meticulous thing, Mrs. Jiang naturally didn't know, and suddenly heard that a piece of land that had only been bought for more than two months could be doubled when it changed hands, earning a small 20,000 taels of silver, and her mouth couldn't close in shock.

"Is this really that useful? The land that Shao Gongzi bought is really profitable, so he can't be mistaken. Mrs. Jiang said. In her heart, unless there is a gold mine buried in this underground, nothing else can make a piece of land so valuable.

Xia Ke smiled, didn't say anything about making money, only explained: "After the black gold stone is ignited, the firepower is much stronger than firewood and charcoal, and when it comes to burning, it is several times that of firewood, but the price is a fraction of charcoal." It has great use in the court and in the people. ”

"It's very resistant to burning, and it can be much cheaper than firewood and charcoal?" Mrs. Jiang has been in charge of the family for more than 20 years, especially when she just separated from the family and Xia Ke's official position was low, the money was planned to be spent. Therefore, comparing the black gold stone with firewood and charcoal is extremely intuitive for Mrs. Jiang.
