"I am." Chang Xi also looked directly at the Ministry of Works, who was much older than her, this time, if she retreated this step, then the next negotiations would be retreated step by step, "Adults are narrow-minded to choose people by age." ”

When Mrs. Zheng on the side heard this, she secretly exclaimed, and couldn't help but look at Chang Xi with admiration, this sister really dares to say, this is an official master, she is so hard, amazing!

Chairman Xu also looked sideways, feeling that the smell of gunpowder was rising sharply, this was not an occasion for him to gag, so he only watched from the sidelines and did not dare to step forward to put out the fire.

Only Yiyang City's parents, Lord Zhou, stepped forward and smiled, "Young man, it's inevitable that you will be a little angry, Lord Dong, our prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, don't worry about young people," and then secretly made his eyes look at him while keeping a straight face, so that Chang Xi softened, "Chang Niangzi, this time I'm going to criticize you, Dongda people have come from afar, we have to welcome the friendship of the landlord, why don't you apologize to Dongda?" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Industry was already unhappy with the transaction that he came to talk about this time, and if there were good things in the people, they would report to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry would decide to measure and do it, instead of thinking about taking advantage of the imperial court, so he didn't wait for Chang Xi to soften, he snorted coldly, "Lord Zhou, I don't need to, I can't afford such an apology......"

Chang Xi also nodded seriously, and said in great agreement, "My lord, the people and girls also agree very much. "Don't think she's a soft persimmon that's easy to pinch.

Zheng Niangzi secretly pulled Chang Xi's sleeve and signaled her not to be tough again, otherwise it would be difficult to end later.

Chang Xi smiled at her, indicating that he was measured.

"You!" The waiter of the Ministry of Works flicked his sleeves, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and this official disdains to be with her......"

"Chang Niangzi, I haven't seen you for a long time."

A sharp voice came, and I saw Gonggong Si walking towards this side with someone.

When Chang Xi saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Father-in-law Si has finally returned to Yiyang City, and the folk girl is really eager to wear it." ”

This fox didn't know how long she hid in the shadows and watched the excitement, just to let an old stubborn like the Ministry of Works squire suppress her majesty, and when he couldn't hold it down, he jumped out to save the scene, he was not very old, and there were a lot of tricks.

Hearing this, Si Gonggong immediately burst out laughing, obviously very useful to Chang Xi's words, and turned his head to see Lord Lang Dong of the Ministry of Works with a straight face, he leaned over and whispered, "My lord, if this deal is broken, can my lord go back and explain it to His Majesty in person?" ”

This is related to the emperor's private money, whoever dares to let it collapse, the emperor will let whoever collapses, anyway, if you don't sit in this position, someone will always sit.

The waiter of the Ministry of Works looked at the smiling father-in-law with jealous eyelids, this eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people, he disdained it in his heart, but the situation was stronger than people, he couldn't fight this eunuch, so he had to squeeze out a smile and look at Chang Xi, "The official just said it was a joke, Chang Niangzi don't mind." ”

"How so? The adults have such a sense of humor, and the folk girls appreciate it very much. Chang Xi also cooperated with his eyes open and said nonsense.

In just one confrontation, it ended with Chang Xi's victory, and the one who could see it most clearly was the taciturn Hubu servant Lord Sun, I saw that when he faced Chang Xi, he smiled a lot kinder, "Rest for two days, and then the official will personally go to see the machine that even His Majesty praises, Chang Niangzi must be convenient at that time." ”

"Definitely, the presence of adults is the flourishing of our research institute."

This Chang is quite good at talking, and Lord Sun, the household servant, is very satisfied with her performance, so he won't want to give a dismount like Lao Dong, but instead he will lose himself, which is not cost-effective.

The people who felt the most were not the other small officials, but the people from the Yiyang Chamber of Commerce headed by President Xu, they all knew that Chang Xi had a strong background, but they didn't expect her to be like this, and if she was herself, she would have already grovelled and nodded her head to please her, where did she dare to let the official master bow his head?

So after the officials and masters dispersed, President Xu and the others spoke to Xi again, which was extremely amiable, as if they really treated her as a little friend, and even the textile peers of Mao San, who were not very convinced before, are now too convinced, and now they feel more and more that it is possible to realize the big cake drawn by Chang Xi at the New Year event of the Chamber of Commerce.

When she went back, Zheng Niangzi happened to go to the spinning workshop to pick up a batch of goods, so she sat in the same car with Chang Xi.

"Chang Niangzi, I was so scared just now that I didn't dare to breathe, you are really amazing, sister, I admire it."

Chang Xi said humbly, "It's not as evil as Sister Zheng said, anyway, we haven't done anything illegal, so we can speak confidently." ”

"That's what I said, but there are two official words, how can we businessmen be the opponents of other officials? When people stomp their feet, we will not be able to eat and walk around. Zheng Niangzi said this with deep feelings.

It's hard to do business, it's harder for a woman to do business, it's even harder for a widow's house.

Chang Xi thought deeply of Zheng Niangzi's words, she could not be afraid of these Qin errands, it was nothing more than relying on the business behind her to deal with the emperor's money bag, if she didn't have this relationship, she would not be able to be tough.

Along the way, the two talked happily with each other, and their friendship was deeper than before.

When the carriage was about to arrive at the door of the workshop, Chang Xi suddenly saw Chang Dadou and Li with their two daughters and sons-in-law making trouble at the door of the tea brick workshop, looking like they were about to break in.

She frowned, signaled the coachman not to make a sound, and walked directly into the spinning workshop, not meeting Chang Dadou and his wife for the time being.

Since the couple dug up the money on Mama Tao, they have stopped coming to her for trouble, and now that they appear again, there must be a change.

Seeing that Chang Xi's face was not good-looking, Zheng Niangzi thought that she was not feeling well, so after entering the spinning workshop, she asked her to go and have a good rest, and she discussed the same with Bai Shi about picking up the goods.

Bai Shi warmly greeted Zheng Niangzi, and the deputy beside him entertained Zheng Niangzi first, and then whispered to Chang Xi, "The Chang family is here again, I inquired about it, it seems that something happened to someone named Chang Kui, and I didn't understand what happened, but seeing that the person who came like this is not good, Chang Niangzi should be careful." ”

After speaking, she sighed, Chang Xi is good at everything, but this family is too dragging its feet, and none of them are worry-free.

"I know, Eighth Young Lady, you are busy first, I have my own way to deal with it."

Bai Shi knew that he couldn't help Chang Xi, so he had to go to work on business matters first, "If there is a place that can be used for me, Chang Niangzi can let someone inform me." ”

Chang Xi nodded, and then returned to the tea brick workshop through the secret door here.

As soon as Dong Li saw her come back, he immediately greeted her, "Chang Niangzi, something happened." ”

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Chang Xi patted Dong Li's shoulder and said.

Dong Li hurriedly said this time, "Someone died, Chang Kui beat Zhou Afa to death......

"What?" Chang Xi stood still, his eyes looking at the east fence in disbelief.

Two days ago, she also saw Zhou Afa, the illness was like a thread, Zhou Afa's illness made the young man lose a lot of weight, but his eyes were very bright, he thanked her for her rescue that day, and said that when he took over the vegetable business again, he would let Zhang Yingda do something else, and shyly said that he had no ability, and would only sell a few vegetables.

She comforted the other party a few words at that time, and even pointed out the direction to the young man, Zhou Afa's eyes were even brighter, this is a very pursuing teenager.

Don't say that Chang Xi doesn't believe it, even Dong Li doesn't believe that human life is so fragile, and if she says it's gone, it will disappear, but she still put away her sadness and tried her best to restore the matter.

It turned out that the cause was the fight for food.

Although Chang Dadou and Li blackmailed Mama Tao a lot of money, the couple secretly spent it themselves, and saw that their son was learning to do business with his second son-in-law, which could be regarded as learning a skill, so his son continued to follow his second son-in-law Zhou Man to collect and sell vegetables.

As the so-called peers are enemies, the vegetables on the ground have grown back after the beginning of spring, but there are not many vegetables, and the people who collect the vegetables are scrambling, and the vegetables of that family are going to be sold to Zhang Yingda and Zhou Afa, they are old relations, who knows that Chang Kui has to intervene and forcibly collect other people's vegetables, and it is not okay not to sell them.

Zhou Ah was angry but fought with Chang Kui, Zhang Yingda was persuaded to fight at the beginning, and then after Chang Kui was red, he grabbed the bamboo stick in the field and stabbed it into Zhou Afa's body, which may have been stabbed into the vital point, and Zhou Afa vomited blood and fell to the ground on the spot.

Seeing this, where is Zhang Yingda willing to follow? He no longer persuaded to fight, and fought with Chang Kui, who was red-eyed, and was about to beat Chang Kui to death, his sister Zhang Lianzi saw that the situation was not good, so she could only put down Zhou Afa, who vomited blood, first, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her brother's waist to prevent him from killing.

But Zhang Yingda saw that his good brother was killed by this Chang Kui, where was he willing to follow? pushed his sister away, and he was going to take Chang Kui's life.

Chang Kui, who was beaten to the point of having only half his life left, wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

Fortunately, Zhang Lianzi grabbed her brother again, and Chang Kui was able to pick up a life.

Something so big happened, someone soon reported to the official, and the official rushed over and immediately arrested Zhang Yingda and Chang Kui, who were fighting.

But Chang Kui's murder was in full view of everyone, and he couldn't rely on it even if he wanted to.

Chang Xi was not surprised at all that a bear child like Chang Kui would commit such a case, but he took pity on Zhou Afa, the sun that had just risen, and it set in an instant.

"Where's the lotus seed?"

"The little girl is still ...... in the hospital"

"You go and pick her up first, and then let someone collect Zhou Afa's body, buy a better coffin for the young man, and let him go decently when he dies." Chang Xi commanded with a calm face.

Dong Li made a note, "But the Chang family is still outside, I should want you to come forward to lead Chang Kui out......"

"They dream!" Chang Xi coldly refused, "Killing people pays for their lives, it's justified!" ”

Dong Li quickly passed the word to the Chang family, "You guys hurry up, otherwise don't blame the security team of our workshop for driving you away......"

Chang Dadou and Li didn't expect Chang Xi to really ignore Chang Kui, they suddenly became excited, "That's her own brother, she won't save her when she sees death, God, the next thunder will kill the unfilial girl white-eyed wolf......" Li even knelt down and prayed to God.

Chang Da'e tried to pull her mother up, she wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know where to persuade her.

Chang Er'e followed and scolded, "Chang San'e, if you treat your family like this, you will not die well, the younger brother is the only seedling of our Chang family, if you don't save him, the ancestors of our Chang family will not let you go......"
