092: Well water does not interfere with river water (2nd watch)
Chang Xi couldn't help but praise in her heart, after all, she was still a little accomplished in calligraphy, and she couldn't help but appreciate it when she saw a good character appear in front of her, but she was not surprised at all when she saw that the place where the payment was Xie Jin's name.
This word is quite compatible with people, and when it is time to admit that others are excellent, she will still generously admit that there is still a pattern of being a person.
Especially the employment letter she said before, which was directly changed into an employment contract by Xie Jin, well, this is more in line with the idioms of current people, and it is better than what she said before.
Overall, she was quite satisfied with the matter.
"You don't have to give me this, Eighth Master Xie, you just take it, if someone questions it, you can show it to him directly."
The subtext of this is that if anyone doubts his relationship with her, he will slap this piece of paper on that person's face and let him know that they are acting openly and honestly, and there is nothing unpleasant about it.
Of course, Xie Ming knew Chang Xi's intention to ask for this, but he didn't show it to her, for fear that she would misunderstand that he hadn't done this well, so he smiled and put the employment contract away.
After the matter was negotiated, Xie Ming took Bai Shi back to his yard, and he was officially going to get busy.
As the old lady in the house, the Rong family saw them one by one, but when there were no outsiders, she still muttered to her husband, "This Chang family has a big heart, is it appropriate to let Brother Ming mix with her?" I don't know what the fourth child thinks in his heart, it may be a good thing for the Chang family to leave the house early."
Although she admires Chang's neither humility nor arrogance, this is not what a woman should look like, a woman who is too good and strong cannot be locked in the backyard, and such a woman does not bring happiness, but disaster.
The old lady Xie was still lying in his recliner and shaking it, only to see him shaking the fan in his hand to drive away the summer heat.
"I said, old woman, what are you doing with so much care? We still have a few days to live at this age, and our children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so it is not necessarily a bad thing to let them toss away."
Explain how many catties this grandson has, and he, who is a grandfather, will not know?
This is a failure, don't think about studying and being an official, he doesn't have the patience to study, if he goes to be an official according to the path given by the Bai family, he is also ashamed, it is better to let him toss like this, if it is, the grandson will naturally be trained, if it is not successful, then there is no loss.
Rong glanced at her husband, the older this old thing gets, the lazier he becomes, and he doesn't even care about the future of his children and grandchildren.
"Didn't Brother Jin acquiesce? You, don't worry so much, we'll just watch this from the sidelines, didn't the fourth child say anything?" Old lady Xie comforted his wife.
Rong was silent, she knew that her husband was worried, but after so many years of ups and downs, it was not bad for this effort.
Because of the connivance of the old couple, even though others had a lot of complaints, they didn't dare to say anything, Qian was the one who was depressed but couldn't stop anything, and now his son or daughter didn't listen to her, so angry that Qian lay in bed for several days.
The second master Xie said that she was looking for guilt, what is her youngest son like, don't you know?
It's good for someone to mix with him, not to mention that now that the daughter-in-law is back, there is a daughter-in-law watching from the sidelines, why should she, who is a mother-in-law, come out to find someone to suspect?
This made Qian even more sickly, feeling that men and her were not of the same mind, and before that, they must all listen to her, and they became more and more prejudiced against Chang Xi and Bai.
said to the two daughters-in-law who came to serve the sick: "You are still intimate, go back and take good care of your own man, don't be fooled by the words of outsiders, and do things that humiliate the family."
These words are too meaningful, Yang and Di immediately understood, they don't understand the choice of Xie Ming and Bai Shi husband and wife, so Chang is just a pawn wife, does he really have that much ability?
But Chang Xi didn't commit any of them, and they wouldn't go to other people's troubles, such an unseemly thing, they wouldn't do it if they were born in everyone, in short, like this
It is best not to offend the river water. new
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, my husband is preparing for next year's examination, and he will enter Beijing in a few days, my father-in-law has sent a letter to my uncle about this, and my aunt said that I have already prepared a yard and is waiting for my husband to go. Dick said busily.
Qian believes that the second son has always been the most able to calm down and study, but the first two times were unlucky and failed to pass the Jinshi, and she will definitely be able to come back with good news in the next battle, and she is still waiting for this son to earn her a life.
So, she nodded, "You take care of Brother Zhao a lot during this time, and you don't have to come here to serve the sick."
Di Shiba had to use it to wait for Qian's, but she dared to show joy on her face, and she was busy pushing one or two, until Qian insisted repeatedly, and she reluctantly responded.
Seeing this, Yang secretly complained, she was too honest, not as good as being sleek, and now the matter of serving the disease must all fall on her.
"Brother Xiao's daughter-in-law, you will be more responsible in the future."
Hearing this, she reluctantly smiled and said, "Mother-in-law doesn't want to say that, daughter-in-law should."
Her husband is not the material for the imperial examination, and after winning the show, he tried and failed repeatedly, and finally had to give up, and took care of the family industry with his father-in-law, and he was likely to follow his father-in-law's path in the future.
Fortunately, the Xie family still has a big house and a third room as officials in the court, and it will not really decline.
The affairs of the Xie family's various rooms did not affect Chang Xi, and her affairs went on step by step.
It was just a night's work, Xie Ming put a thick stack of information in front of her with red eyes and a dark circle, and then yawned and said, "This is the situation of the major tea merchants in Yiyang City, you see."
Chang Xi raised his eyebrows, this Xie Laoba's ability to do things is good, he sorted out the information in just one night, and he really underestimated him before.
Xie Ming couldn't help but laugh twice, this was much harder than when he took the imperial examination.
Chang Xi was immediately amused by his appearance, just see that he is really useful, she will not hit his poor self-esteem.
"Eighth Master Xie will go back to make up for sleep first, and if I have any questions after reading it here, I will ask you to invite you."
As soon as Xie Ming heard this, he immediately turned around and left without saying a word, it seemed that he was really sleepy.
Chang Xi shook his head, and while looking at the information at hand, he asked Dong Li to invite Shi Bichi to come.
For these natives who grew up in the same circle, they all know each other very well, and Xie Ming also has this advantage, so that he can sort out the information so quickly.
Shi Bichi hadn't been here for Chang Xi for a few days, and that day she heard that Chang Xi had learned about the deeds of fifty taels of silver with a tea brick, and she immediately felt more at ease with Chang Xi, it seemed that she really didn't want to seduce Xie Jin, so she didn't have to come over to supervise from time to time, so she didn't have to be caught doing coolies again.
However, when she saw that Dong Li was coming to invite, she still hurried over, for fear of missing Chang Xi's big event.
As soon as Chang Xi saw her coming, he immediately gave her a part of the heavy information in his hand, "Look, is there anything missing from this?"
Shi Bichi didn't know why, so she took the information and only looked at it, and she knew it in her heart, this is the information of the major tea merchants in Yiyang City and nearby cities, and she is familiar with this.
So, she sat cross-legged opposite Chang Xi, introduced all the major tea merchants written on the information, and corrected the errors in the information.
"The Shen family of this Mingxiang Tea House is not easy to deal with, and they are very pretentious, and their daughters are all above the top, perhaps they boast that they sell tea, so they love to be vassal......
Chang Xi was noncommittal about this statement, Shi Bichi is very good at paying attention to proportion, and it seems that the Shen family does not have a good impression on her.
But where did she seem to have heard the name Mingxiang Tea House, and after thinking about it for a while, she remembered that when she first met the foreign devil James, wasn't he doing business with Mingxiang Tea House?
The big shopkeeper surnamed Shen didn't make a good impression on her, and it was indeed a bit like what Shi Bichi said.
So she silently gave the Shen family a cross in her heart, but if the Shen family has a good eye for the advantages of tea bricks and is willing to spend a lot of money, then it is not impossible to cooperate.
Shi Bichi didn't know what Chang Xi was thinking, she was now bent on helping Chang Xi succeed, so she knew everything and said everything.
The two spent most of the day just discussing, and finally had a working meal, until the middle of the moon, Shi Bichi said goodbye and left.
Chang Xi personally sent her off, and after some hypocrisy, everyone turned around and separated satisfied.
With this investigation, Chang Xi has mastered the details of the major tea merchants, and of course he has a preliminary choice in his heart about the selection of cooperation partners.
When it was time to make an appointment with James, she got up early to prepare, and called for explanation.
When Xie Ming heard that he was going to talk about business, he was immediately energetic, and he changed into his favorite clothes and appeared in front of Chang Xi like a peacock.
Chang Xi was about to be blinded by him like that, "I said that Eighth Master, we are going to talk about cooperation, not to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion." You're so sassy, of course, she didn't say the last sentence, and she couldn't understand it.
Xie Ming looked down at his outfit and didn't feel anything wrong, but seeing Chang Xi's disapproving look, he still resigned himself to go back and change into ordinary clothes, which caused Bai Shi to laugh at him.
Chang Xi saw that he was back to normal, and then set off for Yuelai Inn.
Sitting in the sedan chair, she saw Xie Ming riding a horse next to her, and thought to herself when would it be better for her to unlock the skill of horseback riding, after all, her equestrian training is quite good, and she is definitely much more clever than Xie Laoba.
