"It turned out to be Lord Yuan, I knew him," Chang Xi responded with a smile, not shying away at all, and said generously, "But just like Lord Yuan said, there are only business contacts, and there are no personal relationships other than that." ”

What she said was not a lie, she knew very little about Yuan Hao's private affairs, after all, she was not interesting to others, so naturally she would not give him a chance to go further.

When Han Yongzhu heard this, she looked surprised, but her heart sank to the bottom, if she had no personal relationship, why did Yuan Hao paint her portrait in private? "I thought Chang Niangzi was very familiar with Brother Yuan."

Chang Xi immediately clarified, "There is nothing to do, Miss Han should not misunderstand." ”

"Don't be nervous, Chang Niangzi, I don't mean anything else, just stay away, I'm afraid of Brother Yuan...... There are good girls here...... When I think about this, I panic in my heart......"

Chang Xi didn't like to listen to this, so she said with an embarrassed face, "Miss Han, how did outsiders know about what you said?" After all, the relationship between the two of you is clear to the two of you. ”

In short, don't ask me, I don't know anything.

"Chang Niangzi smiled, and blamed me for being emotionally unstable for a while......" Han Yongzhu hurriedly pressed the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

This scene was bumped into by Mama Tao, who came back from seeing a doctor, Mama Tao immediately shook off the maid who was holding her, stepped forward in front of Han Yongzhu, and looked at Chang Xi viciously, "Chang's, if you have any dissatisfaction, come to the old man, don't bully my girl, she doesn't owe you ...... girl."

"Mama, what nonsense are you talking about? Chang Niangzi didn't bully me. Han Yongzhu really can't act this time, after all, Mama Tao's move broke the good atmosphere she and Chang Xi had created before, "Chang Niangzi, I apologize to you on behalf of Mama Tao......"

"Girl, you don't have to be so ......" Mama Tao couldn't see Han Yongzhu bowing her head in front of Chang Xi.

"Mama, shut up!" Han Yongzhu has never been so disgusted with Mama Tao for a moment, after all, Mama Tao treats her better than her own mother, but this good is too good, so that Mama Tao often loses her sense of proportion as a slave in front of her.

It was not obvious in the capital before, but now that I have come to Yiyang, the discomfort is strong.

Chang Xi was really not interested in dealing with their master and servant at this time, after all, she already knew everything she wanted to know, so this scene should come to an end, so she got up and said with a straight face, "Miss Han, I treat each other politely, I don't know why Ling Servant will act like this?" But this is a matter of communication between your master and servant, so I won't accompany you, I still have to have a meeting, Dong Li, send Miss Han out on my behalf. Seeing that Han Yongzhu was eager to explain something, she immediately gave an eviction order, "Miss Han, goodbye." ”

After saying that, she turned around and left, not even wanting to leave her back to them.

Mama Tao trembled with anger, even if this Chang clan was the eldest princess of Qianrong, it was still a mud, why was she so arrogant?

"Mama, do you see the good things you have done?" Han Yongzhu yelled directly at Mama Tao, and then left Mama Tao first.

Mama Tao was so angry that her chest fell together, and the tiger girl looked at her like this, afraid that she would take the opportunity to slander Chang Xi, so she stared at her from the side.

"Where is Chang, I'm going to talk to her." Mama Tao eased the depression in her chest, and immediately said in a cold voice.

"Our Chang Niangzi is not free, please come back." The tiger girl was unmoved, jokes, thinking that Chang Niangzi can see it if she wants to?

Mama Tao was so angry that her limbs trembled, she hated it, hated her soft-heartedness back then, if she was ruthless, she wouldn't have today's things.

Before leaving, she stared at the tiger girl, "Tell Chang's family, let her be safe, don't want to compete with our girl for a day, after all, our girl is the daughter of the princess, and she is not even worthy of lifting shoes for our girl." ”

Hu Niu immediately responded to the unbeatable Mama Tao, "Our Chang Niangzi is not comparable to anyone, that is a person who even the emperor praises." ”

Who wouldn't be able to slap the mouth cannon? She doesn't lose anyone now.

What's more, the emperor's seal judgment is not comparable to the boasting of one of your subordinates.

Mama Tao was so angry that she couldn't speak this time, looking at the ugly girl with a provocative face, she immediately brushed her sleeves away.

The tiger girl "cut" lightly, how powerful do you think? That's it?

When Mama Tao came out of the tea brick workshop, Han Yongzhu had already ordered the coachman to set off and go back, and she didn't wait for her at all, seeing that the place where the carriage was originally parked was empty, she was immediately dumbfounded.

Fortunately, it was very lively outside the workshop, and she finally hired an ox cart, which saved her from the embarrassment of walking back to the city.

Chang Xi's eyes were full of coldness when he heard Hu Niu relaying the scene of arguing with Mama Tao, "In the future, this pair of masters and servants will come again, and they will directly find a reason to send them away, and they don't need to report to me again." ”

She doesn't want to be a stepping stone on the road to Han Yongzhu's pursuit of love, those bullshit love stories have nothing to do with her half a dime, there is no need to waste time on this, then cut it off from the root.

As for that Mama Tao, she won't make a move to her for the time being, of course, if she doesn't know whether she wants to come to the yin, then don't blame her for being polite, the reason why this is so is nothing more than that the original body is dead, she doesn't want to open the basin, who knows how stinky it will be?

She is now walking steadily at every step, and her status promotion is just around the corner, so there is no need to put shackles on herself by herself.

After that, Han Yongzhu came to Chang Xi several times, but she was all empty, and she couldn't see Chang Xi again.

is angry that he lost the opportunity to get close to Chang Xi, and he is ashamed that he was disgraced and lost the face of the princess's daughter.

However, this move was also hit by Yuan Hao, who came to the tea brick workshop, and when she saw the cold face of Brother Yuan, she couldn't help but panic a little, "Yuan...... Eldest brother? ”

Yuan Hao looked at the people who shouldn't be here, what else did he not understand in his heart? This Han Yongzhu is here to find Chang Xi, as for what she is looking for Chang Xi, it is nothing more than her daughter's jealousy of the family, and she can do such a small thing.

"Get in the carriage."

Hearing Yuan Hao's cold order, Han Yongzhu bit her lower lip, and obediently got into Yuan Hao's carriage without too much argument, and as soon as she sat down, she heard Yuan Hao looking outside through the car window, "This is the latest tax, you can send it to Chang Niangzi, and the official will not go." ”

"Yes, sir." Although the subordinates on the side were curious about who Han Yongzhu was, they still didn't dare to delay their errands.

Yuan Hao then ordered the carriage to turn back.

Han Yongzhu peeked at Yuan Hao, she didn't dare to speak first, she could only wait for the other party to question first, and then she could defend herself.

But Yuan Hao didn't say a word, and in the end, she couldn't stand the frozen atmosphere and said first, "Brother Yuan, it's not what you think, I met Chang Niangzi by chance because I came to Yiyang and passed through here, and I saw it at first sight, so I came cheekily and wanted to further make friends with her, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to have more friends......

It's really three hundred taels of silver here, Yuan Hao thinks this girl is really stupid and outrageous, I don't know what his mother likes about her?

He turned his head and looked at Han Yongzhu with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Who can you deceive with this statement?" Han Yongzhu, do you think I'm a good deceitful? ”

"Brother Yuan, I'm not, I didn't mean it......" Han Yongzhu really cried this time, how could he speculate about her like this?

Yuan Hao grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him, at this time he was indifferent to her tears, "Han Yongzhu, I originally thought you were just stalking, but now I found out that you lied and ......"

"I didn't," Han Yongzhu immediately retorted, knowing in her heart that she couldn't hide it from him, so she said, "That's right, I saw the portrait you drew for Chang Niangzi in your study, so I found Chang Niangzi, but I really have no ill will towards her, I just want to get closer to you, am I wrong to do this?" I just like you so much......" at the end of the accusation and crying.

Yuan Hao was speechless and died at this time, a woman with such a temperament would only be restless when she married back, but his mother still wanted to stuff such a woman to him, where did he make the old lady dissatisfied?

"Han Yongzhu, if you don't like me in this world, I have to like you."

He learned this truth from Chang Xi, so he has always been careful about getting along with Chang Xi, trying not to disgust her.

Han Yongzhu can't understand such words, since she was a child, she can get what she wants, and she never thought that one day she would love but not be able to.

Returning to the Yuelai Inn in a daze, she returned to the room in despair, ignoring Mama Tao's eager questioning, closed the door directly, and then collapsed on the bed and cried bitterly.

Mama Tao was recently ordered by Han Yongzhu not to follow, so she didn't know what was going on until she asked the maid who went with her, and then she knew that a quarrel broke out between her girl and Yuan Hao.

"How so?" She panicked at this moment, too.

Originally, it was a good marriage no matter how you look at it, but now it looks like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless.

After Yuan Hao went back, he immediately repaired a letter to his wife again, accusing her of messing up the mandarin duck score, and then mercilessly accusing Han Yongzhu of having a bad brain, if the children and grandchildren born in the future follow her, there will be no place to cry, in short, the wording is more severe than the previous letter.

Chang Xi, who ignores these mundane things, finally ushered in good news before the New Year, the first generation of the steam exhaust engine was finally determined, so she specially invited her father-in-law to come and do business, so she couldn't hide it.

This time, Xie Jin did not accompany him, the whole process was presided over by Chang Xi, and Chang Xi did not ask about his whereabouts, curiosity would kill the cat.

Si Gonggong's eyes straightened, and the smell of charcoal burning in a room could be discharged by this strange steam exhauster, which was really incredible.

Chang Xi explained the working principle of this machine on the side, although she said it very carefully, the layman Si Gonggong still only understood a small part, but the result was that he could understand it.

Coming out of this so-called laboratory, Chang Xi invited his father-in-law to the flower hall to have tea.

Father-in-law Si looked at Chang Xi with a smile, "Chang Niangzi, we don't talk darkly, what is the purpose of you inviting our family to investigate?" Do you want to dedicate this thing to the Ministry of Industry? ”

Chang Xi knew that he was a smart person from the first day of dealing with Si Gonggong, and he would test her first as soon as he came out, so she shook her head, "If you really want to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry, you won't find your boss and father-in-law," paused, "We spent a lot of money on the research and development of this machine, and this is a business." ”

"Business?"

"Yes, it's business, don't hide it from my father-in-law, this machine is of great help to the safety of underground operations in the mine, and the toxic gas in the mine can be discharged to ensure the ......safety of miners to a greater extent."

Good things are really good things, Si Gonggong has always had a smile on his face, but no one cares about the lives of those untouchables, and if they die, they will collect another batch, and the most important thing in the Daewoo Dynasty is people.

So Chang Niangzi can't do this business, and he can't come forward to match her, of course, he can't say it so clearly, he has to think of a tactful rhetoric.

"Father-in-law, if this business can be negotiated, according to the example of the tea brick workshop, we will pay a tribute of 30% of the profits to Your Majesty......"

When Gonggong Si, who had been there all along, heard this, he suddenly jumped up and lost his voice: "What did you say?" ”

As long as there is enough erbium, the fish will still take the bait.

Chang Xi smiled and repeated his previous words.

Father-in-law Si suddenly became short of breath, and he couldn't figure out how much profit this business made for a while.

Chang Xi was very empathetic and showed the map of the coal mine that he had done before directly in front of Si Gonggong, "Si Gonggong, you see, the place marked with the red dot is the coal mine that has been discovered so far, and this area is the most distributed......

It is the first time that Si Gonggong is so intuitive about the distribution of coal mines in the Daewoo Dynasty, if a coal mine is equipped with two or three steam exhaust engines, it can also make a lot of money.

Licking his lips, he asked, "Chang Niangzi, how do you sell this machine?" ”

This is entering the play, Chang Xi pushed the cost and profit table that he had done before directly in front of his father-in-law.

Every time he felt Chang Xi's style of doing things, Si Gonggong was very satisfied, so it was much more intuitive, and after calculating what the profit of thirty percent was, he also counted it in his heart, for the emperor, it is much more important for the emperor to have money in the small treasury than to have money in the treasury, after all, it costs money to enjoy.

"Our family will go back to Beijing and report to the emperor, but whether it is successful or not, our family does not cover, after all, those adults in the previous dynasty ......"

This old fox, Chang Xi smiled, "Don't worry, as long as there is no problem on the emperor's side, we will take care of the adults in the previous dynasty." ”

Talking to smart people is a pleasure, Si Gonggong knows that this trip back to Beijing he may jump over his godfather Jiang Xing to become a celebrity in front of the emperor, thinking about that picture, he is excited.

Chang Xi personally sent his father-in-law away, and the rest depends on the arrangements of Xie Jin's side.

It's almost the New Year, Yiyang Chamber of Commerce has to hold a lot of activities, and people have come to raise donations early, Chang Xi donated an amount that is not up or down, and soon received an invitation letter written by President Xu, which is to invite her to attend the activities of the Chamber of Commerce.
