After the first batch of laborers were recruited by the Ministry of Households, the project contracted by Guangsha Construction was officially launched. Yuan Shang was in charge of logistics, and Zhang Chang and Zhao Qiusheng, the officials of the palace fortifications, and Lai Changyou and Yang Jin, the newly recruited craftsmen of the construction bank, each led 50 people's husbands, starting from the starting point of Jiangbei Prefecture, and sorted out the track foundation in sections.

Due to the proximity to the capital, Ye Xinyan also helped Qi Younian to be busy in it, so that Qi Younian could have a rest. In addition to checking the progress of the project, he also helped Zhang Chang and Zhao Qiusheng do some technical support.

Ye Xinyan also brought a young craftsman who made construction documents and his two apprentices, taught him to record the progress of the project at any time, and according to the construction regulations, with reference to the track official documents sent by the imperial court, to restore a construction document and preliminary drawings of the track project. Trying to train him to be a panacea like Wang Qiao.

This young craftsman's name is Li Jingnian, who is older than Wang Qiao, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and can be regarded as experienced and solid in the craftsman industry. It's just that his family background is not bad, his father's craftsmanship is good, and his family's situation is well-off, which can provide him with education, so he learned engineering documents from the beginning, and he is much worse in practice.

The two apprentices were arranged for him by Ye Xinyan as the follow-up reserve force of the construction bank.

I have to say that after doing things with Wang Qiao, others are a little too pedantic and lacking in aura in Ye Xinyan's eyes. Don't say anything, you can get through at one point, even after ten or eight o'clock, you are still ignorant, and you can't find the north at all.

Fortunately, Li Jingnian has been in contact with Ye Xinyan for more than two months, and he has already admired this noble girl from a wealthy family, and he also knows Ye Xinyan's expectations for him, so he is extremely attentive to his work.

Compared with the previous Wang Da Steward, Li Jingnian knows that he lacks a lot. Even if Ye Xinyan is demanding, he really can't do it, and he doesn't dare to complain.

After seeing that Ye Xinyan disliked him for not knowing how to penetrate and was very impatient to give him detailed guidance, he didn't dare to ask after him, in addition to spending more time on the fortifications, he also invited Zhang Chang and Zhao Qiusheng to drink from time to time and ask the two of them for details.

Although Ye Xinyan helped on the construction site, Qi Younian was still very busy, leading the two servants to build two places at the construction site and the Guangsha in the north of the city to allocate materials, arrange craftsmen, and try to arrange the craftsmen in his hands as soon as possible.

One day in mid-February, when he first arrived, Ye Xinyan was in the shed outside Jixian County, Jiangbei Prefecture, looking at the construction documents and drawings made by Li Jingnian and his two apprentices. An Ping's family came in to report, and the eldest lady sent a letter to ask her to explain what she was doing and go back to live for a few days.

Ji County is not far from the capital, but it takes two hours to come and go, so Jiang Yifan rented a yard not far from the Ji County Government for Ye Xinyan to live temporarily.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Xinyan would always go back to the Anguo Mansion in the capital every three to five days. At this time, she had been out for two days, and if there was something, she couldn't wait for one or two days, so she sent someone over and asked her to go back now.

Ye Xinyan returned to the courtyard of the Yin family in the Anguo Mansion, and when she heard the Yin family explain the reason, she couldn't help but feel bitter. What's going on? She's busy, okay? Her mother would have brought her back for such a boring thing.

The wife of Huwei General Shi Zongyi held a Spring Festival banquet to entertain the ladies of the family's wealthy eunuchs in the capital. An Guogong is Shi Zongyi's old boss, and Shi Zongyi has always respected An Guogong as an elder. Therefore, the Guogong Mansion must be cheered, and the General's Mansion must be faced, and the Duchess of Guo, the Yin family, and Ye Xinyan must also go to the banquet.

Is this a serious business?

Ye Xinyan stared at Yin's eyes wide for a long time, and under Yin's displeased gaze, she lowered her eyes weakly.

Forget it, that's the right thing to do.

Not to mention ancient times, even modern times, there are still necessary entertainment and interactions. It's just that at that time, work was the priority, work couldn't leave, in order to keep the job, it was all about entertainment, and everyone understood.

However, it is for those who have jobs and need to work, if they are full-time wives and various official second generations and rich second generations, socializing and socializing are the most important parts of life, and they can not be more serious.

And her current job is in the eyes of the ladies in the capital...... That's the real bad business.

Ye Xinyan only wiped her hands and face, and didn't even bother to change her clothes, so she sat on the couch and asked Yin Shi sullenly: "It's okay to go." But isn't that a few days away? Why did you call me back so early? ”

"Oh my aunt, look at your face, it's windy and sunny, if you don't come back early and raise it at home for a few days, how can you go out to meet people." Yin's words are heartbroken.

"Is there one?" Ye Xinyan touched her cheeks very innocently, "I wear a hat as long as I go out, where is the wind and sun?" "What are these words? It's also exposed to the wind and sun, and it's not salted fish.

"Mother doesn't talk about you, you can pull a maid in the courtyard of this house, look in the mirror together, and take a good look at your face, it doesn't look like the face of a noble girl."

Her daughter is really spoiled by her. When has this been, seeing that the family affairs have been decided, I don't know how to restrain my mind, and I run outside every day. This is also a loss to Yuanfan, who does not dislike her, if she changes others, I am afraid that it will be a marriage, and people will have to regret it.

"Ah Yan, it's not my mother who said you, you should also take care of it. You are a person with a mother-in-law, you have to be considerate and considerate of Yuanfan, and you can't always rely on your own ......"

She is already very restrained, okay, as long as she goes out, she will put on the hat tightly. She is so troublesome, isn't it all because she takes care of Jiang Yifan's face? Forget it, mom nag a few words, listen to it.

Ye Xinyan drank two sips of hot tea, picked two sugar dates and ate them, felt that it was not enjoyable enough, picked up two walnuts and handed them to Jiuzhen, and motioned for her to smash them. Then, while listening to Yin's chatter, he peeled peanuts and ate them.

“…… Alas, I knew I was talking in vain. Yin Shi reluctantly stopped, and added unwillingly, "Ah Yan, my mother has spent so much time, is it okay for you to listen to the last sentence and a half?" ”

Ye Xinyan peeled half of the walnuts that Jiuzhen brought and handed it to Yin, "Mother, you eat it, it tastes sweet." ”

Well, that's really in vain.

Yin Shi reluctantly took it and handed it back, "You can eat it, this oily thing, my mother's appetite, it's not good to restrain after eating." ”

At this time, a child's crisp voice sounded outside the door: "Big sister, big sister." ”

Cuizhu looked at Yin.

Yin nodded, but he didn't see the joy on his face.

Cuizhu opened the door, and a little girl led Ye Yuan into the door.

As soon as Ye Yuan saw Ye Xinyan sitting on the couch, he stumbled over, shouting, "Big sister." ”

Ye Xinyan hurriedly stood on the ground with her shoes on, greeted him, and picked him up, "You have a pair of tailwind ears, the eldest sister just entered the door, and you came here."
