082: People from Yiyang (one watch)
Within two days, Chang Xi really received a letter from Yiyang, one was written by Bai, mainly about the current situation of the institute, and then the shipment of the steam exhaust engine, Lin Yuqi and the reconciliation of the heart to come to the goods, and finally the approximate date of arrival in the capital and so on.
One is a letter from Mr. Lin, mainly worried about his grandson's northward journey, and asked her to take care of it more when the time comes, and finally mentioned the shipment of this steam exhaust engine, and signed a contract with the imperial court, so you have to hurry up and produce, so this output was roughly mentioned to her.
The last one was from Xiao Tao, mainly to report on the financial situation of the workshop after she left, and then to send the latest profits to the capital according to her request, which was the part of the profits to be handed over to the emperor himself.
Things are going on in an orderly manner, and it seems that there is nothing major in Yiyang, which makes her feel a little relieved, and she pinched her fingers and calculated, although she can probably calculate the time when Lin Yuqi and Xie Yuxin and his party arrived in the capital, but it is not easy to say, this is not good in ancient times, and the communication is not timely.
There was only Hu Niu by her side, and it was impossible to send her to the dock to squat every day, so she directly used the people from the Weiwu Hou Mansion, after all, she didn't need to use it in vain, even if she didn't use it, it was estimated that she would use it in the Wei family, so she sent someone to the dock every day to inquire about the people from Yiyang, and came back immediately to report the news.
When Mrs. Han and the Wei family learned about it, they were quite happy in their hearts, and felt that they had gradually narrowed the distance between Chang Xi and the Han family.
Chang Xi has been busy sorting out the information of the steam exhaust machine recently, declining all the invitations, and not spending all her time on these people's feelings, in her opinion, this is all ineffective socialization, she can't confine herself to the back house, this is consuming her life.
But at the invitation of Mrs. Xie's grandson, she still went to show her face for face.
For Chang Xi's move, Wei is a little worried, after all, Chang Xi's age is not young, although she said that she would not interfere in her marriage, but she still wanted to secretly find a suitable husband candidate for her, as for Xie Jin, she is not very optimistic, judging from Chang Xi's experience of marriage, he may not be able to be his wife, and it is not interesting to be a concubine.
Wei's secret thoughts, Chang Xi didn't know, even if she knew, her heart would not make waves, one Wei was not enough to manipulate her, she didn't have this weight in her.
During this period, Han Yongzhu's marriage was decided, and in the end, she could only marry the widower who was 20 years older than her as a step-room according to Mrs. Han's wishes, for which Han Yongzhu also came to Chang Xi to cry, and Chang Xi impatiently turned her away.
Han Yongzhu was bored, and was beaten by the Wei family for a few more words, which only stopped for two days, but when she learned that her dowry had declined, and everything was done according to the practice of the concubine leaving the cabinet, she made trouble again, and this time she directly cried with Mrs. Han.
When Chang Xi received the news, he couldn't help but smile, this is the right way, what's the use of looking for her, it should be useful to find the person who can be her master.
Mrs. Han didn't attach much importance to Han Yongzhu, although she hated iron and steel, but in the end, she was raised according to her daughter in the first eighteen years, and finally took out a part of the dowry to add makeup to her.
It's a pity that the Wei family didn't have a very pleasant quarrel with her, and it was impossible to take a part of the dowry to her, so far, she couldn't help but regret a little, she shouldn't have turned against the Wei family, and if she lowered her posture at the beginning, she might be able to make a fortune from the Wei family.
In the end, she also knocked on a sum of makeup from the scumbag father Weiwuhou, Han Yongzhu held all the money tightly in her hands, which was the foundation of her life for the rest of her life, after all, there was no place for her in this mother's family.
These things, Chang Xi listened to a few words and didn't take them to heart, until Yiyang arrived in the capital, she hurriedly asked people to set up a carriage, and she personally went to the dock to greet her.
The wharf in the capital is still crowded, and the daily throughput here is probably a lot, Chang Xi can't help but look hot, and when the situation stabilizes, she will definitely come to the capital to open a workshop, and the prosperity here is also a good place to make money.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the tiger girl exclaim, "Chang Niangzi, I saw the figure of the third girl." ”
Even if Chang Xi has changed her surname to Han, Hu Niu is still used to calling her Chang Niangzi, even if the maid who waits for Chang Xi in the Weiwu Hou Mansion reminds her of one or two, she will not change her words, of course, this move is quite complaining, but as Chang Niangzi said, who cares?
When Chang Xi heard this, she immediately pushed the curtain and jumped directly from the carriage, this action made the personal maids who followed her snort in a low voice, after all, it was too undignified, their lips moved one or two, and when they saw the tiger girl glancing coldly, they immediately closed their mouths in amusement.
Chang Xi didn't care about this, he went directly to the front of the dock, and sure enough, he saw Xie Yuxin standing on the bow of the boat, I don't know if it was the joy of traveling, Xie Yuxin happily waved a handkerchief at her.
As soon as the boat arrived on the shore, she walked down from the boat without the help of the maid, "Sister Chang, I miss you to death." ”
"Third sister, it's been a hard journey." Chang Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her, afraid that she would fall into the water.
Xie Yuxin waved his hand indifferently, "When I was a child, I was used to going out with my father, I was not afraid of falling into the water, not like Third Brother Lin was dizzy as soon as he got on the boat, and he vomited so much that it was dark, and I felt sorry for him when I saw it...... Speaking of this, she remembered Lin Yuqi, "Oh no, I forgot about him." ”
Chang Xi smiled and patted her hands, "Don't worry, there are people around Lin Sanye, and nothing will happen." ”
Old man Lin was heartbroken for this grandson's trip, and specially wrote to her, how could he not arrange good manpower?
"That's right, Old Man Lin sees him as if he has eyeballs." Xie Yuxin complained.
Sure enough, Lin Yuqi got off the boat with his capable manservant on his back, and when he saw Chang Xi standing there with a smile, he quickly patted the manservant's shoulder and motioned him to put him down.
"Third Master Lin, are you better?"
Lin Yuqi patted his head, "It's much better." Then he seemed to think of something, and he happily told Chang Xi about his recent research findings, if it weren't for this trip, he wouldn't want to travel, and it would be really good to stay in the laboratory.
Chang Xi listened to him very carefully, after all, Lin Yuqi's research direction was deliberately pointed out by her, and now the main research is to use steam power to automate the production of tea bricks, which was planned at the beginning, especially now that the tea brick workshop wants to supply China, production has been unable to keep up, and automation is indispensable.
So as soon as she heard that there was progress, her eyebrows and eyes widened.
Of course, she left as soon as she didn't receive anyone, and when she saw the Ministry of Works, Lord Lang Dong, got off the boat, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and gave the other party enough in terms of etiquette.
Today's Juneteenth, I wish all children a happy holiday!
