041: Scoffs at bold pursuit of love
With the words of Wu Laosan and others, the strong men of the construction team were a little relieved.
In addition, Chang Xi ordered two pigs to be killed to entertain the construction team, and with delicious food, everyone's hearts were more stable, and there were smiles on their faces, and they were looking forward to eating this meat and tooth sacrifice.
Master Zhou saw everything Chang Xi did in his eyes, and looked at Chang Xi again in his heart, and finally gathered people's hearts, so he said to Chang Xi in private, "Chang Niangzi has a heart." β
"Lord Zhou is polite, this is also for the smooth progress of the textile workshop project, and what they ask for is just to have food and clothing for three meals a day."
Lord Zhou listened to it and thought it was true, but there were a lot of helplessness in being an official, and it was not possible to achieve the realm of political communication and harmony in one or two sentences, such as pulling up this construction team, and there were many people who held opposing opinions, and it was quite difficult for him to clear these voices.
"The next thing to look at is the performance of the construction team, Chang Niangzi, the official will hand this over to you, and the accounting of the monthly salary will ask the master to bring someone to supervise."
Chang Xi understood as soon as he heard it, Lord Zhou didn't want to hand over the money again, so that he could save the embezzled part in the middle, and strive to let these men get more wages, and also made a name for the construction team, and set the rules, which will be easy to do later, after all, there is a template.
"Lord Zhou, rest assured, the people's daughter will handle this matter well."
With Chang Xi's solemn promise, Lord Zhou returned to the city with confidence.
Chang Xi temporarily transferred Wu Laosan to manage the construction team here, and then promoted a loyal villager to temporarily replace Wu Laosan's original position, of course, she also gave Wu Laosan a salary promotion by the way.
Now everyone is happy, and the nearby villagers are not hostile to the arrival of the construction team, thinking that they are here to grab jobs, but rather happy to welcome their arrival, after all, more people bring consumption, and some villagers who do small business can take the opportunity to make a little more money.
When Xie Jin came to find Chang Xi, he happened to see the picture of the men of the construction team working in full swing, and the mental outlook was clear at a glance, which is what the people under the political communication should be.
He stopped and watched for a long time, and it wasn't until Chang Xi received the news and came over that he moved his position.
At this time, he looked at Chang Xi deeply, "You still have a way to make this group of people energetic." The more he saw it, the more he felt it.
Chang Xi disagreed, "As long as you treat people as human beings and give them corresponding treatment, they will feel that life is rushing, and people are naturally human beings." β
Xie Jin nodded, he was taught in this regard, this is what an ideal society should look like, but unfortunately the Daewoo Dynasty is very large, and there are still many people struggling between food and clothing, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
When he walked towards the tea brick workshop with Xie Jin, Chang Xi took the opportunity to say, "I heard that the fourth master Xie is here." β
Last time, the Qin family left in a hurry, and the fourth master Xie would definitely come to the other courtyard to find Xie Jin to explain the misunderstanding after knowing the original tail, so she didn't go back to the other courtyard these days, and lived directly in the tea brick workshop, so as not to hinder the eyes of the fourth master, thinking that she was a red face and a disaster.
Xie Jin did not deny that Xie He had come to the other courtyard, but said lightly, "He brought the tenth brother back, and this time he directly brought him back to Datong Academy to continue his studies." β
Xie Xu went back, Chang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't bear such a passionate pursuit of the young man, the main reason was that the person was wrong, so there was no need to start a bad relationship, and it also saved the Xie family from looking at her unpleasantly and sticking a knife in her back.
Xie Jin saw Chang Xi's imperceptible expression in his eyes, and there was a little smile on his face, and he said that Xie Xu's kid who didn't have any hair was not his opponent, and sure enough.
Chang Xi didn't ask much about what Xie Jin and Xie Si talked about like this, some things are better not knowing than knowing, especially if the Xie family bets on Xie Jin, they won't want to fall out with Xie Jin.
Xie Jin also talked about this topic again, but talked to her about the spinning workshop.
Chang Xi took the opportunity to summon Bai's to come, as the actual manager of the future spinning workshop, she paid great attention to the cultivation of Bai's, and naturally gave her more opportunities.
The farther she went south, although the weather was still cold, it was not so unbearable, Han Yongzhu tightened the big air on her body and hugged the heater tightly, only then did she feel that the cold wind was not so biting, and Mama Tao on the side carefully pulled the hem of her clothes.
"It's almost time to Yiyang City, girl bear with me."
Han Yongzhu nodded, although the climate in the southeast is not as cold as in the capital, she still feels uncomfortable, if it weren't for her fiancΓ© Yuan Hao, she wouldn't be able to hold on at all.
Yuan Hao looked at the letter sent from home, and was so angry that he tore up the letter directly, which made the person who sent the letter exclaim, "Uncle, this is a letter written by the eldest princess herself......"
"You, get out." Yuan Hao pointed directly out of the door and told this person to roll.
The elder Zhanxin beside Yuan Hao directly slipped this person out, and he could see that Yuan Hao was on the verge of anger, so it was better not to add fuel to the fire.
"What are you pulling me for?" As soon as she arrived outside, the messenger sent by the eldest princess immediately said angrily to Zhanxin, "I haven't said what the eldest princess has ordered, the girl from the mighty marquis mansion is about to arrive, and the eldest princess ordered the mansion to clean up her residence, this is the future young lady, and she can't be lazy, otherwise the eldest princess will not be able to explain it......"
When Zhan Xin heard this, he glanced inside, and sure enough, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling inside, and the eldest princess first cut and then played the trick of setting a family affair for her master, and it was no wonder that the master couldn't accept it, and it was difficult for him to accept it, and when he was in Beijing, his own master was not interested in this Han girl, if he really liked her, he would have asked people to ask for marriage two years earlier.
The messenger was directly pulled away by Zhanxin, but he didn't know that this person was actually not breathing, and shouted, "The eldest princess also said that if there is a room or something around the uncle, she will be dismissed directly, so I want to give the Han family girl a little face......
To put it bluntly, it is to give the Weiwu Marquis Mansion a little face, after all, the good and decent daughter wants to be the stepmother of Yuan Hao, and she is still wronged in the end.
When Yuan Hao heard these bastard words, he immediately came out of the back room, "Zhanxin, send the person back to Beijing directly, I don't want to see him again for a moment, let alone listen to him, let's go for a walk." β
Zhan Xin covered the mouth of the sender and immediately pulled the person away.
Steward Du comes to Yuan Hao every month to report the accounts of the tea brick workshop to Yuan Hao, although Yuan Hao said that there is no need to do this, but he is still happy to do it, in his opinion, this is also to show his identity.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw the chief Zhanxin beside Yuan Hao pulling a person who kept yelling over, he looked at it, immediately recognized the person from the eldest princess's mansion, and said busily, "What's the matter?" Zhanxin, if you have something to say. β
"Steward Du, come and comment, I'm here to convey the eldest princess's message, he didn't persuade the uncle to listen carefully, but instead helped the uncle drive me away, how did this make me deal with the eldest princess?"
To tell the truth, it is a mother-son relationship, he can't afford such a crime, but he can't afford to say it, if something goes wrong in the future, he can't afford it either.
Steward Du saw that Zhan Xin was about to speak, so he hurriedly stopped, "Okay, let me tell him a few words, you go and wait for the uncle first, don't let the uncle and the eldest princess mother and son have a relationship, otherwise it will be our subordinates." β
Zhanxin is not afraid of Du Guan, but Du Guan is reasonable, and he is not easy to refute, so he hugged his fist towards Du Guan, "Then there is Lao Du in charge, and the master's words still have to be listened to." β
"I know." Steward Du responded.
Zhanxin turned around and went back, and planned to take the opportunity to persuade Yuan Hao that the marriage decree had been issued, and this marriage would have no way to be reversed, and since people came, they still had to receive it well.
Without Zhan Xin on the side, Steward Du asked the sender carefully, only to know that the eldest princess had decided to set up a family affair for Yuan Hao on her own initiative, his eyes blinked, and it seemed that the secret letter he had sent back before had worked.
"Does the eldest princess have anything else to say? For example, about that Chang Niang? β
The messenger shook his head, "The eldest princess didn't mention anything about Chang Niangzi, but just let the uncle treat the Han family girl well, it is best to cultivate feelings, and return to Beijing for a wedding next year." After a pause, "Oh, by the way, the eldest princess also instructed the uncle to clean up the women around her......"
Steward Du was originally a little disappointed, but when he heard the latter words, his eyes flashed, and then he took the opportunity to ask for details.
It wasn't until he had inquired about all the news he could hear that he couldn't finish sending the messenger away, of course, he also took the opportunity to say some bad things about Chang Xi to the messenger, and asked him to bring it back to the eldest princess.
The messenger blinked when he heard this, and with this remark, how to reply that he had a draft in his heart after he went back, so he was quite grateful to Steward Du.
Zhanxin was still trying to persuade Yuan Hao to accept the marriage with Han Yongzhu at this time, after all, everyone was here, and it was not appropriate to drive people back, so it was better to accept it.
Yuan Hao took a sip of wine in a depressed mood, "You go to Yuelai Inn to set a Tianzi courtyard for Han Yongzhu to live, it is not suitable for unmarried men and unmarried women to live in the same house, and I am also thinking about her reputation." β
High-sounding words, even Zhanxin can't say bad, but, "Will you wronged the Han family girl?" β
People came like this regardless of etiquette, but they were treated like this, where did Han Yongzhu's face go?
"What is there to be wronged about? It's not etiquette for her to come this time, so she is embarrassed to be wronged? Yuan Hao vented all his dissatisfaction on his fiancΓ©e, who suddenly appeared, and scoffed at the other party's bold pursuit of love.
Zhanxin couldn't do it now, so he had to arrange it.
When Han Yongzhu and his entourage passed through the village on the outskirts of Yiyang City, they saw a bustling city, and they couldn't help but be stunned, "Although I heard that Yiyang City is quite prosperous, but this has not yet entered the inner city, why is it so lively?" β
Mama Tao can't answer this, how does she know why it's so lively? This is very different from the Yiyang City in her memory.
However, she was still young when she was sold, and her memory of her hometown has long faded, and now that she has returned to her homeland, she can't tell what it feels like in her heart.
When her thoughts were diverging, she heard the girl next to her point to a huge building where people were coming in and out, and exclaimed, "Mama, what is that?" β
Mama Tao looked at it curiously, the buildings in this valley, just by looking at the exposed corner, you know that it must be not small, and it doesn't look like a rich man's residence, because this is against the law, and ordinary people dare not build it.
"The old slave doesn't know ......"
"This is a tea brick workshop." A passer-by passed by, heard the conversation between the master and servant, and replied with a smile.
Mama Tao Dingqing looked at the person who spoke, it was a woman, she didn't look like a countryman, but she didn't look like a city person, but the most attractive thing about this woman was her mental outlook, compared with the sad expressions of the peasant girls in the suburbs elsewhere, this person's smile was very bright.
In this way, Han Yongzhu knew, because when she went out of Beijing, a thing called tea bricks began to become popular in the capital, and she also drank this kind of tea, and the taste was very good. β
"Yes." The woman smiled, "I won't tell you, I still have to go to work." β
"Wait, what do you mean by that? Women are also recruited to work? β
Seeing a young girl in the carriage who was ignorant of the world, the woman smiled heartily, "Exactly, all the people in our nearby villages are working in the tea brick workshop, and now they have also recruited a lot of people from the city. β
Chang Niangzi?
Han Yongzhu touched these words, she didn't know what kind of woman it was, she was a little interested in it.
"Can you tell me about Chang Niangzi......"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw several women riding out of the tea brick workshop, led by a young woman in a modified riding suit, and everyone who saw her would smile and say hello to her, and she would respond one by one with a smile, and even ask the horses to stop and talk to people.
This woman is so dazzling that it is impossible to ignore her presence.
It's just that what really shocked her was not the other party's leisurely riding a horse, nor her kindness when talking to people, not to mention the radiant look of the woman on the side when she said that she was, but the other party's face, where did she seem to have seen it? It's so familiar.
"Mama, look at that Chang Niangzi, if she looks like ......"
She was turning her head to talk to Mama Tao, but she saw Mama Tao looking at the lady as if she had seen a ghost, and her body was trembling subconsciously, which scared her.
"Mama, what's wrong with you? What's uncomfortable? β
After a while, Mama Tao came back to her senses, and when she saw the worry in her girl's eyes, she hurriedly hid the panic in her eyes and said, "It's nothing, I just feel cold, and the girl doesn't need to worry about ......."
At this time, Chang Xi was frowning and looking at the master and servant in the carriage, looking in from the window of the carriage, she couldn't see the faces of the people in the carriage clearly, but she did feel that there was a sight in it that kept staring at her, if it was an ordinary sight, she would naturally not pay much attention, but this person's gaze gave her a rather complicated feeling, which seemed to contain a hostility.
Mama Tao was talking to Han Yongzhu, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw the face that she didn't want to see appear in front of her, when did this person come over, her eyes instantly looked at each other with defensiveness.
