Steward Du waited anxiously outside, and saw the little eunuch come out to pass the word, so he settled down a little, and straightened his clothes, he followed the little eunuch to the inner room, and as soon as he entered, he saw the father-in-law leaning crookedly on the soft cushion on the Luohan bed, and the half of the jade pendant that he used as a knocking brick was playing with him.

Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet his father-in-law, he was unwilling to be in the lower position, but he had to sigh that everyone has their own lives, he has no one with a good life, and he can recognize a godfather like the eunuch Jiang Xing.

Father-in-law Si hurriedly got up to help him up, looked at it carefully for a while, and did find a little bit of the shadow of the old man on this face, so he smiled enthusiastically, "Why don't you say a word when you meet the sky all the way? I missed all these days."

Steward Du was actually apprehensive when he took out this half of the jade pendant, after all, so much time has passed since the events of the year, who knows if people will recognize it? If he denies it, will he not bring shame upon himself? It's just that I thought too much, so I delayed, but fortunately, the result was not bad.

"I think it's not good to disturb my father-in-law if this is nothing, but this time I really encountered a difficult situation, and I asked my father-in-law to save me." After saying that, he immediately arched his hand again.

Father-in-law Si hurriedly returned the salute and sighed, "You just think too much, if I hadn't been taken care of by you when I was in the cocoon room that day, I probably wouldn't have survived today, and now that you are in trouble, I will think of ways to help you no matter what."

After he was a criminal minister, he was sentenced to palace punishment at that time, and the pain of the day of torture was unbearable, and the steward Du who was on an errand in the cocoon room at that time once brought him food, and he gave him the only remaining half of a jade pendant, saying that he would repay it in the future.

Later, he survived by luck, and was repeatedly bullied when he was a little eunuch in the palace, until he met his godfather Jiang Xing, he came to work from time to time, but he didn't expect Steward Du to be on an errand in Princess Qianrong's mansion.

Steward Du's face was moved, so he didn't hide it, and told all the things he had offended Chang Xi, "Now that the uncle said that he would send me back to Beijing, if I go back like this, it is estimated that I will have no future in the future, and I will ask my father-in-law to help me and make peace with the Chang family for me, if I can stay, I will repay my father-in-law for today's kindness."

After thinking about it, he wanted to stay and maybe get the hateful Chang nod, the uncle said it didn't count, he understood it, the uncle was a dog around the Chang family, so he had secretly written back to the eldest princess, and he couldn't let the uncle be fascinated by a little widow.

With Chang's background, it's not worthy to be a room girl for the uncle, let alone marrying the Ming media? But what can't a man who is carried away by love? Uncle is now the one who makes him unconscious.

Of course, he won't say these to his father-in-law, although he was kind to his father-in-law in his early years, but the friendship between the two has not reached that point, and it is taboo to talk about it in a shallow way.

Father-in-law Si actually doesn't want to know too much about Du Guan's private affairs, especially the private affairs of the eldest princess's mansion, although everyone in the imperial city says that the eldest princess is a good old man and is kind to everyone, but he has been in contact with the eldest princess, and he really doesn't think that the eldest princess is a good person, he only feels that the other party is unfathomable, but he hasn't even revealed these words from the bottom of his heart, his godfather Jiang Xing.

What Du Guan asks for, in fact, it is not difficult for him, he has a relationship with Chang Xi, he can find an excuse to go to her, I believe that she will still buy her face, but he is used to being cautious, and he never says anything about packing tickets.

So he frowned slightly and said, "I've met Chang Niangzi, this lady can mix up and not be a fuel-efficient lamp, so let's try to mention this matter to her, as for whether she should or not, it's not up to me to do it," Seeing that Steward Du's face was a little ugly, he said embarrassedly, "Chang Niangzi got this holy decree this time, and she was considered to have a number in front of the palace, and Your Majesty may ask her in the future, so some things should not be done too much, after all, you will leave a line in life, and you will see each other in the future."

This is tantamount to waking up Steward Du, as for whether he can listen to it or not, it is not within his consideration, this time he helped Steward Du, and this favor will be cancelled.

Steward Du insisted on everything, so he could only express his understanding one by one, and then talked to his father-in-law for a while, and then said goodbye and left with humor.

Father-in-law Si personally sent him out to the gate and gave him the highest courtesy.

At this time, Chang Xi was communicating with Xie Jin in the other courtyard, "That Du

I've beaten the steward, and I haven't thought about regretting it, so do you need me to write a letter to explain, eldest princess?"

After all, it was Xie Jin who pulled the line between her and the eldest princess, even if she didn't look down on Du Guan, she didn't want Xie Jin to be embarrassed in the middle, the eldest princess was a powerful person after all, this head should be low or low, before she became a coaxing figure of Niu B, it was right to keep a low profile.

Xie Jin said, "Since you don't regret it, you don't need to explain."

"Isn't that right?"

"There's nothing bad about it, since that Du is so uninteresting, then go back to where you are, and the eldest princess can send another one who is interested."

Xie Jin's words were in Chang Xi's arms, it just so happened that she didn't really want to contact the eldest princess of Changrong, and she had more money to deal with the heavenly family than to make money in business, and she had to be extremely careful in what she said and did, otherwise she would anger the other party if she didn't say something right, and she would probably have to go around without eating.

Of course, Xie Jin will say this, it is estimated that he has already sent a letter to the eldest princess behind his back, or not, he should owe him a favor, anyway, he doesn't have to worry about a lot of debts, and besides, she is not so hypocritical and has to be reckless, she has always been very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"This is good, but I am also mentally prepared, if this person is not too much, why is it difficult for me to tolerate him?" She spread her hands very open-mindedly.

"You can think it through." Xie Jin glanced at her flying eyebrows, in fact, he liked to see her like this, no matter how big the difficulty was, it could be overcome in her eyes.

"I have someone prepare a thin wine for you to congratulate, and now it's time to take the seat." He made a gesture of invitation to her.

Chang Xi smiled and generously followed him over to the table, just as he was hungry at this time.

After drinking two cups, Xie Jin said that he had found a skilled craftsman, and he would invite him to the other courtyard in a few days, "This person can just make your improved design of the textile machine, make the prototype first, and then try it out and then produce it on a large scale."

Chang Xi is more and more listening, the brighter his eyes are, if the improvement of the textile machine is successful, after the factory is built, the money earned will not be comparable to tea bricks, of course, the competition is estimated to be very fierce, but she Chang Xi has never been afraid of competition.

When Lin Yuqi's steam power research is successful, the progress will be leapfrogging, and all walks of life will benefit.

The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhou Nan saw this atmosphere, and didn't want to go in and disturb it, but if he couldn't tell Chang Niangzi in advance about this news, he was afraid that she would suffer a loss in dealing with it, so he went in hard.

"What's the matter?" Xie Jin's face immediately turned cold when he saw Chang Sui coming in, although he was very unhappy about his ignorance, but Zhou Nan's temperament he knew that this must be something to come in and report.

Zhou Nan glanced at Chang Xi, but still chose to speak, "Then Steward Du went to ask to see Grandpa Si, and Grandpa Si promised that he would be a peacemaker and make peace for him and Mrs. Chang."

Chang Xi frowned when he heard this, this is not good news, although the father-in-law who has a side of the relationship looks very good at talking, but in the end, it is the eunuch in the imperial city, representing the majesty of the heavenly family, if she is with him, it is not the same thing as beating Du Guanshi.

"If you don't want to, I'll send him away for you." Xie Jin couldn't see Chang Xi frowning, he couldn't worry about these two rootless people, and he didn't want to see them.

Chang Xi knew that if she really said that she didn't want to see Grandpa Si and Steward Du, Xie Jin would really send people away, and he had the ability to do it, but it was still the same sentence, if she relied on him for everything, she would not be far from the lame man who couldn't go, what she wanted to do was to be an eagle that could soar and have the ambition of Lingyun, instead of a canary kept at home to eat and wait for death.

"I'd better meet this father-in-law, seeing that he has issued a holy decree and is not in a hurry to return to Beijing to restore the decree, it is estimated that he still has some errands to do this time, if I have a good relationship with him, it will be beneficial to me."

Si Gonggong's value is not comparable to that of Du Guan, this is a person in the power center of the imperial city, if she goes to the capital one day, this will be a useful connection.

After all, if you can broaden your network, you will also benefit yourself, and Chang Xi has a clear goal at this point.

Xie Jin saw that she was confident, so he didn't plan to go beyond the bounds, what he liked was always her enterprising appearance, so there was no need to strangle her wings.

"I asked Zhou Nan to sort out a copy of Grandpa Si's past experience for your reference, so that you can also know what to do when dealing with him."

Chang Xi immediately smiled and hurriedly thanked her, this gift was really sent to her heart, the deeper she had a relationship with Xie Jin, the more she could feel his intentions.

Some people treat her as a delicate baby, and some people treat her as a fierce god and evil spirit, but in Xie Jin's eyes, she can feel that he is putting himself in a position side by side with him, this is a respect for her, how can her heart not be touched?

It's just that she sees everything too rationally, so if there is development with him, it can only be a matter of course, and it can't be achieved overnight, and if he becomes the emperor in the future, then I'm sorry, what she wants is just a dewy marriage.

She never seeks the position of his harem, and she respects such a "beautiful thing" as serving a husband with others, if this is the case, it is better to kill her faster.

Of course, it is still too early to talk about these contradictions, so it is better to let them develop.

Xie Jin didn't know that Chang Xi had already positioned him in his heart at this time, if he knew, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, he really didn't want to sit back and enjoy the blessings of Qi people.

or it is related to his growth environment in the Xie family, and the Xie family has an impact on his ears and eyes, so it has created his character today.

Under the full moon, Chang Xi was drunk, and Xie Jin was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he picked her up and sent her to the room where she lived before.

"I'm not drunk, come, let's drink again, we must get drunk before resting......

She cried out in his arms, struggling to get off the ground, pulling him for another three hundred cups.
