142: Can't be a fat man in one bite (two watches)
Shi Bichi was annoyed and threw the tea cup in her hand to the ground, seeing the cup broken into flowers, she was still angry, got up with a gloomy face and paced back and forth in the room, the hateful Qin family actually refused her to go to the other courtyard repeatedly, don't think she doesn't know, she is creating an opportunity for the two to get close.
As soon as she thought that Xie Jin might now hold Chang's *** in her arms, she hated it so much that she stomped on the ground with her feet, as if she wanted to trample the pair of Qin and Chang's *** under her feet.
"Damn!"
She cursed hatefully.
Shi Biying, who was about to come to her outside the house, immediately paused, and when she heard this scolding, she knew that this sister was in a bad mood, and yes, Chang's family had been in another courtyard with Xie Jin for a while, where could this sister stand it?
At this time, she didn't want to go in and find herself uncomfortable, this sister used to venting her anger on others, didn't she see that even the maid guarding the door couldn't help but tremble?
So, she made a silent gesture at the two maids, then turned around and snuck away.
Shi Bichi didn't see her sister slip away, and after venting for a while, she finally knew that this was Xie Fu, and she couldn't really beat and scold others here regardless of it, so she forcibly suppressed her temper.
At this moment, a maid outside reported in a trembling voice, saying that the girl from Dongli was coming.
East Fence? Chang's *** maid.
Shi Bichi rolled his eyes, put away the grim expression on his face, and motioned to the personal maid on the side to quickly clean up the ground.
After a while, she stretched out her sleeves and sat back on the Luohan bed, pretending to be practicing calligraphy, and motioned for the maid to bring Dongli in.
As soon as Dong Li came in, he saw that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little solidified, but he didn't see anything famous, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Shi Bichi.
Shi Bichi put down the pen in his hand and hurriedly helped Dongli up, "Why is the girl here? Sit down and talk." After all, he couldn't hold his breath and mentioned Chang Xi, "I haven't seen Chang Niangzi for a few days, I remember it a lot, I don't know how she is doing in the other courtyard? It's a pity that Madame won't let her go, or I'd really like to go over and be her company."
Dong Li didn't have any impression of Shi Bichi, the noble daughter of the Shi family, before, but after knowing that after her last tryst with a man, and listening to her again, how she listened to her and how fake, she couldn't help but get goosebumps, but she still had to smile on her face, "That's a coincidence, our Chang Niangzi also remembers Miss Shi San, no, this is a letter written by her."
Put the faith on with both hands.
When Shi Bichi heard this, he snatched the letter away, and then felt that this action was a little inconsistent, so he made up for it, "Look at me, I'm really worried about your lady."
"It's the same with Chang Niangzi." Dong Liang replied with a smile, but in his heart, he couldn't hide the surprise just now, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the less she looked like a good stubble.
Shi Bichi didn't care at all about how a subordinate looked at her, and after making up for it, she didn't let her talk nonsense in front of Chang Xi, so she didn't say anything anymore, and quickly opened the letter and read it. Z.br>
Whatever else was written in the letter, she took it at a glance, and the focus was on Chang Xi's words when she asked her to accompany her in the other courtyard, and she read these few short sentences several times, only then did she confirm that she did not understand wrong, this Chang actually handed her a ladder.
It seems that her previous suspicions were too much, this Chang clan did not deceive her, if she made great progress with Xie Jin, where would she invite her over?
Comparing hearts to hearts, replacing it with her, she definitely doesn't want anyone to disturb the two-person world between her and Xie Jin.
So at this moment, she couldn't help but be happy, and her expression changed a little and said, "I'll go to ask my aunt, and Ming'er will rush to the other courtyard to accompany Mrs. Chang to relax."
Dong Li was deeply surprised by her skill in changing her face, this Shi San girl is a bit fake, but she is a subordinate, and it is not good to offend this Shi family noble girl to invite disaster to Chang Xi, so she got up and saluted, "Then thank Shi San girl for her kindness to our lady."
"Well, she's a good friend of mine, so why shouldn't I be in need of her?" Shi Bichi is used to saying good things, and this trick can indeed buy people's hearts.
With Chang Xi's letter, Shi Bichi had an excuse to go to the other courtyard.
After reading the letter, the Qin family sighed, he didn't expect that Chang would be so sad for the deceased mother-in-law, I heard that this mother-in-law had treated her harshly before, and she could still do this, which shows that this heart is still very kind.
"It's good to have Brother Jin here, Bichi, you don't have to go over, wouldn't it be better to stay in the mansion and we talk?"
Shi Bichi originally thought that the Qin family would let people go, but who knew that she still had the same attitude and did not let go at all.
"But?"
"It's nothing," Qin took her hand and sat beside him, and said mysteriously, "When a woman is sad, a man's comfort works."
In other words, don't go to make any fun, don't delay her plan to hold her grandson to change her son's luck.
Shi Bichi's eyes widened, it was the first time for the Qin family to say it so bluntly, it seemed that she had eaten the scales and was determined not to let her go to the other courtyard to stir up, and the fire of hope in her heart was extinguished in an instant, this time she saw the Qin family clearly, no matter how she flattered, the Qin family never considered her marrying Xie Jin from beginning to end.
"Bichi?"
Hearing Qin raise her voice to call herself, she came back to her senses, hurriedly covered up the almost exposed expression on her face, and smiled reluctantly, "How Madam arranges, I will obey, but I am afraid that Chang Niangzi will misunderstand me and I will not go over to accompany her, I ...... I always feel like I don't want to ......."
"How so?" Qin patted her hand and said, "Chang won't think so, you believe your aunt, if there is any misunderstanding, go back and explain it for you."
Shi Bichi tried to squeeze out a smile and thanked him, but in his heart, he couldn't wait for the Qin family to die quickly, and the handkerchief in his hand had been rolled into a salted dried vegetable by her.
Leaving from the Qin family's courtyard, her face immediately became gloomy, it seems that this trick will not work, so she can only find another way, but at this stage, she should hurry up and reply to Chang Xi first, and she must maintain a good relationship with her first.
Chang Xi received a reply from Shi Bichi in the evening of the same day, the letter was written very tactfully, saying that the Qin family did not allow her to come over to accompany her, and she was also very worried about her condition, and then persuaded her to cheer up, without mentioning Xie Jin in half a word.
Shi Bichi is very cautious in this regard, and the people who can see that she is interested in Xie Jin can be counted with the palm of one hand, and at this point, she will not easily tell the truth.
"Miss Shi San is not coming, huh?" Xiao Tao was surprised.
In her opinion, this Shi San girl has always been close to Chang Niangzi, and there is no reason why she can't push it.
"She can't come."
Chang Xi responded, and then began to write to Shi Bichi again, not to mention that Shi Bichi intended to contact her, and she also had the intention not to cut off contact with her.
When Xiao Tao heard this, she suddenly couldn't figure it out, knowing that this Shi Bichi couldn't come, why did Chang Niangzi invite her to come?
But she couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only keep it in her heart like a cat scratching.
Hu Niu took the newly written letter and rushed back to Xie Mansion early tomorrow morning.
Chang Xi could see Xiao Tao's doubts, but she didn't have a hobby of solving people's doubts, so she spent her energy on business.
The project is progressing quite quickly, and she has personally inspected it during this period, and even invited the four major treasurers to take turns to inspect it, trying to be fair and transparent.
Shopkeeper Guo looked at the factory building that had been built for a third of the time, and couldn't help but sigh that the house was well designed and built, and he didn't find anything wrong with it.
"Looks like it's ready to open early."
"That's how I see it, too."
Chang Xi knew that these crop men worked very hard, but she didn't expect them to surprise her, and now just wait for the first batch of equipment from the Lin family to be delivered, and the workshop can be operational.
The factory building is almost ready for use halfway through, and the rest of the project can be slowed down a little, because it was originally designed to accommodate more people when it was expanded, but this is not urgent, after all, you can't eat a fat man.
The house was really built, and the five spies began to get anxious, seeing that this side was about to be built, and the things ordered by the other side had not been done, how could this be good?
These five people now have no good reputation in the village, and many people avoid them, causing them to grow more and more here day by day
It's hard to mix, and they have long wanted to leave, as long as they get the money they promised, they won't have to worry about living a good life.
On this day, the five of them gathered in a remote corner to eat and discuss.
"Otherwise, if you don't do it, you will blow up these built houses."
As long as it is blown up, then the project can be delayed again, after all, the debris needs to be cleaned up, and the reconstruction also needs bricks and tiles, etc., and the master behind it will definitely try to prevent them from buying it, and when they get it done again, they are afraid that the autumn harvest is coming.
According to the hellish contract they signed, as soon as the autumn harvest comes, the construction workers will implement a shift system to make way for the autumn harvest, so won't the project time be delayed again?
A few people's heads are combined, and this is also a solution.
"Then it blew up?"
"Fried!"
The five of them unanimously agreed, so they sent the information back to the master behind it.
After listening to the report of the shopkeeper Chen, Master Zhuang of Juya Tea House reached out and touched the top of his somewhat bare head, and looked at the silent Master Shen next to him, "Old Shen, what do you think?"
"It's a bit of a risk." Master Shen frowned.
The key is that gunpowder is not easy to get, this thing is very strictly controlled by the imperial court, and their amount of work seems to be not small, so more gunpowder is needed, and he is worried that a big move will arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.
"I said Lao Shen, how can you, who was afraid of wolves and tigers, look like you are a big thing?" Master Zhuang said.
He looked down on Master Shen more and more in his heart, no wonder he raised such a son, he regretted forming an alliance with this person a little.
How could Master Shen not feel the contempt in Master Zhuang's words? Suddenly angry nostrils burst out, but it was not good to tear his face and leave, who called his family bad reputation, there are still many places to rely on the other party in the future.
Seeing the angry appearance of Master Shen, Master Zhuang laughed twice, "Okay, Old Shen, I just said a few words when I was angry, we don't have anything to do with the imperial court, just those places where fireworks and firecrackers are made, we can collect a lot, we send people to buy them privately, and then transport them to them after collecting them, and it will be blown up at night when the wind is high and dark, and the wind will help the fire at that time, and the surrounding mountains will be burned, I think they can't save it just by fighting the fire."
It seemed that when he saw that grand occasion, he couldn't stop getting excited.
