John wants to paint a portrait of Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao really takes time to sit there every day and let him paint, of course, the purpose is to test this John, to see if his real purpose is the tea brick process?

Of course, John also has to preach to her, for the teaching in John's mouth, she is not very interested, God chatters, anyway, she does not think that she was born with the concept of sin, Chang Niangzi often said that people have to rely on themselves, otherwise they will rely on the mountains and mountains, rely on the water to dry up, she believes this.

may have seen that she was not interested in the teachings in his mouth, and John did not vigorously preach with her later, but she had heard that John preached to the villagers, and there was free food, and the villagers would enthusiastically cheer for it.

Once, she overheard John losing his temper in his own country's language, and although she couldn't understand what he was saying, she knew by looking at his expression that he was very irritable, and those chattering words should be swearing.

Only then did she realize that John's good character was pretended, and he himself was a different matter, and this was even more vigilant.

Later, seeing that the mission was not going well, John began to play the emotional card, always appearing by her side intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes sending her a bouquet of wildflowers that bloomed well, sometimes going down to the river stall to pick up beautiful stones, and sometimes beautiful leaves that could be picked everywhere on the mountain.

The eighth young lady Bai Shi saw it once or twice, and told her in private, let her not believe in men, this is trying to coax girls without even spending money, how can there be such a cheap thing? What's more, this is still a foreign devil.

He also said that this foreign devil can't marry a wife even if he becomes a missionary, and the rules are similar to the monks on our side, don't be coaxed by him, and regret it when the time comes.

Hearing these words made her face full of embarrassment, in fact, her heart did not fluctuate, there is a sentence in the book called non-I race, its heart must be different, she thinks it is quite reasonable, but in order to find out the real purpose of John's coming, she will pretend to cater to John's move.

But she is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and she knows that the Bai family will remind her for the sake of Chang Niangzi, otherwise how can she, a master, care about these things?

So she sincerely thanked Bai Shi and said that she would definitely be careful, and Bai Shi didn't say anything more.

"If John hadn't done anything else here, I'd really think I had misunderstood him, but then I found him walking around the stable, and then the little mare I was riding went crazy again, and this time he was once again heroic, and I thought I would buy it and promise him, and I would have done it!"

Xiao Tao's expression at this time was full of disgust, this foreign devil didn't even change his tricks, did he treat her as a fool?

"You found a clue in that horse?" Chang Xi hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Tao nodded, "I didn't make a noise afterwards, and I didn't let anyone else touch the dwarf mare again, and then asked Tiger Niu to check the horse, and Tiger Niu found a few embroidery needles from the horse's buttocks, it is estimated that when I got on the horse, I patted the horse's buttocks, and the needles pierced into the horse's flesh, and the horse would go crazy." After a pause, "And I deliberately crushed him at the time, so I didn't give him a chance to take those needles away, of course I didn't interrogate him, but no one but him would do such a trick."

She has a very clear positioning for herself, she is the subordinate of the Xie Mansion, and the subordinate of the other courtyard is also the Xie family, they can't calculate themselves, after all, everyone is not a free person, who will do anything that is not beneficial, as for the workers of the tea brick workshop, that hand cannot reach into the other courtyard.

Chang Xi carefully observed Xiao Tao's expression, didn't this little girl find that she was becoming more and more assertive? This thing is not only a test, but also a tempering, and people have to go through things before they can truly mature.

"So you're going with the flow."

Seeing Chang Niangzi say in a very affirmative tone, Xiao Tao couldn't help but smile, "With such a good opportunity, how can I let it go?" Otherwise, the next time he shows his feet, he will have the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, this person can't be left near the workshop for too long, and it is better to take him away as soon as possible."

After a pause, she continued, "So I pretended to be moved by his actions, and when he became more enthusiastic, he really took the bait, and only recently began to test how I made the tea bricks, and the explanation he gave was that he was very curious, so he did the tea bricks

It doesn't get moldy, oh yes, he said it felt like magic."

As soon as Chang Xi heard this, he knew that someone on James' side should have tried to make tea bricks, but the result was moldy, so he asked John to explore the tea brick process in the name of sketching and painting.

"In that case, then you can defeat magic with magic." She patted Xiao Tao's shoulder and said.

These words made Xiao Tao stunned on the spot, she had never heard of this rhetoric, but now she is used to using her brain in everything, so she pondered these words, but she had some experience.

Chang Niangzi asked her to use John's method to punish John, since he beat her idea, then she could also beat his idea in turn, and she did this, so she held her head high and said, "Chang Niangzi, I understand, you wait to see the result."

Chang Xi knows that that sentence does not belong to this era, but the truth is the same, as long as you think about it a little, there is not such a big gap between languages, look, doesn't this little girl understand?

"Then I'll wait for your good news." She said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"Chang Niangzi, you wait, I will leave him speechless." Xiao Tao clenched her fists very firmly.

Xiao Tao's progress is even greater than he imagined, Chang Xi has always been suspicious of employing people, and he will naturally give Xiao Tao enough room to play.

She put down her chopsticks, tidied up her clothes, and it was a little cold at night, she also put on a thin cloak, and then went to the front yard.

I didn't know that I met Xie Xu halfway, she was about to die speechless, can this little broken child play with a little girl of the same age? She's about to become an old man, after all, her mental age is there.

Xie Xu blushed and lifted the food box, "My mother made some porridge for Brother Jiu, let me bring it."

Since you don't mean anything else, why are you blushing?

Chang Xi pulled his cheeks and smiled, "Since you have met, Xie Shi Ye, do you personally mention it, or do you hand it over to Zhou Nan and ask him to pass it on to Xie Jiu Ye?"

Zhou Nan immediately understood, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the food box, "Tenth Master, just give it to the little one, and the little one will wait for the Ninth Master to eat later."

Xie Xu was still a young man after all, and he didn't have the thickness of the city wall, so he had to hand over the food box to Zhou Nan, "Then, then I'll go back first."

"Xie Shiye walks slowly." Chang Xi saluted.

Xie Xu returned the salute, and then walked back step by step, it seems that he is going to stay in the courtyard of the Qin family tonight, and yes, the Qin family has suffered this major blow, and no one can cure her except her own son.

Besides, how Xie Jin was dropped in the first place, it is estimated that the fourth master of Xie Jin's statement cannot win the trust of the Qin family, in her opinion, after more than 20 years, this has long become an inexplicable Rashomon incident.

From Qin's point of view, she has lost a son, so she will only keep a good eye on this little son.

Zhou Nan naturally saw Xie Xu's careful thoughts, and suddenly sighed in his heart, this Chang Niang is really a disaster.

"Zhou Nan, don't think I don't know that you slander me in your heart." Chang Xi looked back at Zhou Nan and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Zhou Nan's expression was suffocated, when did this Chang practice mind reading?

"I don't know how to read minds." Chang Xi said again.

Zhou Nan was really frightened by Chang Xi's operation at this moment, after experiencing the strange incident of the national teacher, he would be furious when he encountered this kind of thing again, so he subconsciously moved a few steps away from Chang Xi.

Seeing this, Chang Xi knew that Zhou Nan regarded himself as a flood beast this time, yes, in this way, let's see if he would still mumble about her behind her back?

When Xie Jin watched Chang Xi come in, Zhou Nan was far behind him, and then he glanced at Chang Xi, could he scare him like this? He was very timid.

Chang Xi understood the meaning of this look, so he also gave him a look, the old lady was happy to scare him, who told him to mumble behind his back, hum.

Xie Jin was no match for Chang Xi, so he could only turn his head and pretend not to see.

Zhou Nan stepped forward with a food box and told him what he had encountered on the road.

I heard that this porridge is the Qin family

boiled, Xie Jin was silent at first, and finally ordered Zhou Nan to scoop a bowl for him.

Chang Xi understood the meaning of this move, this was a mutual compromise and temporary peace of mind.

She didn't say a word, and sat on the side and waited for Xie Jin to finish the bowl of porridge before talking about anything else.

Xie Jin didn't speak, he drank the bowl of inedible porridge in silence, put down the spoon and let Zhou Nan go down.

When there were only the two of them in the house, he said, "If you want to leave the house, you have to wait, and when your mother's side is completely calm, I will send you away, don't worry, I ......mean what I say."

"Xie Jiuye, why did you become such a mother-in-law? I've never suspected you of breaking your word." Chang Xi interrupted him with a smile, "I've been waiting for so many days, and I'm not in a hurry at this time, since I want to leave, I have to go decently."

Xie Jin smiled, "I will definitely give it to you." Especially this time when the Qin family did such an unreasonable and disgusting thing, they didn't have the face to bargain with Chang Xi.

The matter of pawning his wife has always been recognized only by the Qin family, and everyone else has a negative attitude towards this matter.

Chang Xi shrugged his shoulders and said that he accepted his statement.

On this issue, the two reached a consensus, Xie Jin leaned back on the pillow, and then said the main purpose of the day, "How much do you know about the mystery of my life experience?"

Finally talking about today's drama, Chang Xi also relaxed his body and said, "The details are not clear, but I know everything that should be known in general."

Xie Jin frowned, so she even knew that he was the son of the deposed prince, and her mind was spinning so fast, "How did you guess?"

Chang Xi spread his hands innocently and said, "Didn't you deliberately let me know?"

Xie Jin looked at her steadily, he showed a little bit of horse's feet, she could touch the melon along the vine, should he praise her or be angry? That's a problem.

Chang Xi smiled and let him see, he didn't hide the details of his relationship with Yuan Hao in front of him, as long as she wasn't a fool, she would guess that way, and why did Princess Qianrong use it for him, didn't he just rely on him as the orthodox heir of the royal family?

"You're so smart that I'm reluctant to let you go?" Xie Jin sighed and said, she is the only one in this world who can be so compatible with him.

"You won't, forcing me to stay will only kill chickens and eggs," Chang Xi saw through his inner thoughts, "If it were me, I would definitely put a long line to catch a big fish."

She will definitely be hooked by this fish, the reason is very simple, it has nothing to do with the love between men and women, and it has to do with property status.

Because she is just a commoner, the merchants of this era are different from later generations, not to mention the low status, and the property is also linked to the identity, I didn't see those big merchants have to donate a lot of money to buy an official position, no matter what kind of official it is, as long as you have this identity, your property can be kept, otherwise it will be divided up sooner or later.

Xu Dalang must die, she will not keep this time bomb to threaten her, and the road of separation cannot be taken, and she will not let Chang Dadou and his wife pinch her, so she has already thought about it, and the widow's road is most suitable for her.

But she wants to accumulate wealth, this identity is not enough, and she has no suitable male relatives to donate an official, otherwise she can rely on this to keep the wealth she has accumulated, this road cannot be walked, there is only one way to go, she has to raise her identity for herself.

"Xie Jiuye, as long as you find a skilled craftsman, the reform of the textile machine is just around the corner, this year is a bit rushed, next year will definitely be on the agenda, you have to think about it, what a lot of wealth this is," she suddenly leaned into Xie Jin's ear, "The road to succession also needs wealth to open the way, Xie Jiuye, don't you say?"

And she Chang Xi is willing to be this money bag, and there is only one requirement, that is, she must get the corresponding status after success.

Xie Jin suddenly grinned, a beautiful man is a beautiful man, this smile almost stunned her, but fortunately, she was determined enough.

"What kind of status do you want?"

"What if I have a great plan? Xie Jiuye, do you give or not?"

These words made Xie Jin puzzled, what did she mean by what she was planning? Rear position?

His heart was shocked, and then he thought about it, this is also in line with her character, she

At any time, if you are not willing to be left behind, for example, when you walk with him, you must walk side by side.

"Actually, it's not that you can't think about it."

Although these words are ambiguous, Chang Xi's eyes are bright, what she wants to fight for is nothing more than a place in the court, Xie Jin does not refuse, it means that there is room for negotiation.

So she was satisfied, Xie Jin saw her smile and was satisfied.

The two successfully conducted a chicken-to-duck negotiation, and each thought that he understood the other's thoughts, but in fact they were very different.

Chang Xi didn't stay long in the front yard before returning to the backyard, this time Xie Jin sent another long entourage to send her back, and Zhou Nan hid far away.

Chang Xi didn't care about this change.

The next day, Chang Xi rode out of the mansion when he was stopped by a carriage.

Just as Chang Xi frowned, the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a familiar face.

"Chang Niangzi, right? Can we talk?" He Xiling said.
