Emperor Chongming still did not attend the court meeting, but controlled the situation in the back, and the eldest princess of Qianrong was waiting on the side, she carefully looked at her father's face, and she didn't know if he was in favor or against this matter? If asked for her opinion, how would she answer so as not to anger the other person?

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, she does not dare to have a moment of distraction, otherwise it will be a catastrophe.

"Chiem, what do you think?"

came, the eldest princess was not surprised that Emperor Chongming would ask her so, so she said, "I think, this is not a big deal, father, you calculate, the court orders a steam exhaust engine from them, and they must be able to deliver it first, then the iron ore we pay them will be used, in the final analysis, it is the court that takes advantage." ”

Emperor Chongming just lifted his eyelids and glanced at his daughter, and didn't say anything more, obviously he was also measuring it in his heart.

In Yiyang City, Xie Jin handed the latest news to Chang Xi, who was sitting aside, "You are making their waters even more muddy, and the court has been arguing about it recently." ”

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows, not only was he afraid, but he was still a little excited, "This is a good thing." Then he carefully read the latest news in his hand, and after a while, he said, "They will answer that they should trade with us in this way, from raw materials such as iron ore to iron tools that can be used, and the consumption in between is quite a lot, and they will calculate this account." ”

Xie Jin looked at Chang Xi deeply, her method is actually really feasible, and once this opening is opened, then there will be a precedent for future transactions, far from the amount they want to control, after all, the court has no money, this is the key.

Chang Xi said softly while eating breakfast, "I'll talk to Sun Shilang from the household department again today, although he is just a little minion of the household department, but after all, he was sent to talk about this matter, so let him play a more role." After a pause, "The waiter from the Ministry of Industry seems to want to dig into the corner, do you think this courtyard should be strengthened with security?" ”

Xie Jin didn't care about this question, "The Ministry of Industry is really so actionable, this time the business should be led by them, there are more officials in the court who do nothing, and it is not him who can change the style of most people." After a pause, "The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry do not trust each other, and they refuse to allocate funds, and it is difficult to move an inch without money." ”

Chang Xi immediately laughed when he heard this, this is too heart-wrenching, fortunately, the east waiter is not there, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to eat breakfast.

As soon as she arrived at the spinning workshop to inspect, she saw Dongli waiting for her, and as soon as they met, she reported, "Chang Niangzi, good news, Zhang Yingda will be released today." ”

Chang Xi was not surprised by this news, when she broke up with Yuan Hao that day, she knew that Yuan Hao would not let this case drag on for too long, but Chang Kui was miserable, he became the existence of Chang Dadou and the Li family, and Yuan Hao would not let him escape from prison easily.

It's none of her business, though.

"You go and inform Sun and Lianzi, and then go to prepare the carriage and prepare to take Zhang Yingda out of prison."

Dong Li immediately responded, and then hurried to make arrangements.

Chang Xi did not pick up Zhang Yingda in person, but arranged for his family to go, she still handled various affairs step by step, this is a scheduled itinerary early in the morning, and it is not good to cancel it temporarily.

When Zhang Yingda came out of prison, his hair and beard were old, in fact, it was only more than half a month, but for him, it was like being locked up for a lifetime, he blocked the dazzling light with his hands, and then he saw his mother and sister waiting for him, and tears unconsciously flowed in his eyes.

Zhang Lianzi ran over and hugged her brother and cried, "Brother, brother, great, you finally came out, our family can finally be reunited......

"Lotus seeds." Zhang Yingda hugged his sister and stroked the top of her head, until his mother Sun came to him, he knelt down, "Mother, my son is not filial, tired mother worries about me......"

"Just be safe." Sun was so happy that he kept wiping away tears.

After the excitement of the reunion of this family of three passed, Dong Li stepped forward and said, "Go back first, Chang Niangzi said that she will hold a dust washing banquet for you, and it will be a good day in the future." ”

Zhang Yingda wiped away his tears, in fact, he was a little disappointed that he didn't see Chang Xi come to pick him up, but when he thought that Chang Xi hadn't given up on him, he couldn't help but pluck up hope again, after all, his business of selling vegetables was actually a mess.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the scenery outside the window, blowing the early summer wind with a hint of heat, and seemed preoccupied.

When Sun and Zhang Lianzi saw him like this, they couldn't help but be a little worried, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

"Is Ah Fa buried?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Lianzi thought of the dead Zhou Afa, and couldn't help but cry sadly, and finally said in the comfort of his brother, "Thanks to Sister Chang, Brother Afa walked very decently, and he was buried in the mountains not far from the workshop. ”

"That's good, that's good......" Zhang Yingda relaxed when he heard that his good brother was finally in peace, and in order not to make his sister sad and cry, he held back the tears in his eyes.

The Sun family didn't know about the friendship of these three little ones, and they didn't have much feeling about Zhou Afa's death, and only hoped that their children would not be sad about this matter for too long.

Back in the courtyard behind the tea brick workshop, Sun sprinkled his son's body with the leaf water he had prepared to remove bad luck, and then stepped over the brazier, and then happily welcomed his son into the courtyard.

Zhang Yingda has lived here for a while, and he naturally knows the pattern here very well, so he naturally went back to the room where he and Zhou Afa lived that day, the scenery is still the same, but the people have passed away, looking at this scene, his shoulders can't help but decadent, he can't help but be a good brother......

"What? A prison sentence will take your spirit away? ”

Hearing Chang Xi's voice, Zhang Yingda quickly wiped away his tears, turned around and saw Chang Xi, he hurriedly said, "No ......"

Chang Xi didn't believe him very much, for a teenager of his age, he didn't understand life and separation, and he ushered in death, life is indeed cruel to him, but if he is depressed, then it shouldn't be.

"Zhang Yingda, I still remember the situation after you chased my sedan chair at this time last year, there was light in your eyes at that time, I hope you can still see light in your eyes in the future, do you understand?"

Zhang Yingda was stunned, thinking of Chang Xi's cultivation and help to him, he knew that he couldn't be so depressed anymore, so he said, "Sister Chang, don't worry, I will definitely cheer up, and even Ah Fa's share will live together." ”

"That's right." Chang Xi knew that after taking this step, Zhang Yingda had really grown up, "I'll give you three days to think about what you're going to do, and then you can tell me your answer." ”

Zhang Yingda nodded solemnly.

Chang Xi turned around and left, not wasting all her time on enlightening people, after all, she said all the good and bad things, and the rest was up to him.

Zhang Yingda shaved off the beard on his face, and under the leadership of his sister Zhang Lianzi, he first went to worship Zhou Afa, and then ate a dust-washing banquet at dinner.

For the next two days, instead of staying in the workshop, he walked around, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

On the third day, he took the initiative to find Chang Xi and said, "I want to go to sea." ”
