094: I don't even know my cousin anymore (one more)
Even Chang Xi, who had been away for a few months, felt that this suburban place leading to the two major workshops had become much more prosperous than a few months ago, not to mention the Wei family brothers and sisters.
Wei Guangnan was stunned, especially the voices of the people bargaining for things, they didn't seem too vulgar, and they were not inferior to the capital, which was still at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Because the curtain of the carriage was lifted, some people began to see Chang Xi through the curtain of the carriage, and someone immediately came forward to say hello.
"Chang Niangzi, is that you? You're back? ”
"Yes, auntie, you bought a lot of things here?"
Hearing Chang Xi's affirmative answer, the eldest lady became more and more happy, obviously someone from a nearby village, someone in the family worked in the workshop, so she picked up the things in her basket and handed them to Chang Xi to see, "It's all ordinary things, thanks to Chang Niangzi's blessing." ”
Chang Xi was humble when she heard this, and she didn't take credit, after all, they paid for their labor, she had earned profits, and she had already cleared the two, and it would be shameless to insist on taking credit.
There are a lot of people like this lady along the way, and some workers who have left work also cheered when they saw Chang Xi coming back, in short, Chang Niangzi's voice was endless.
Where have the brothers and sisters of the Wei family seen such a battle?
I always feel that when I arrive in Yiyang, Chang Xi's entire image is very different from that in the capital, and it is obvious that she is more like a fish in water here.
The subordinates who came over to wait for the Wei family's brothers and sisters were as unrelievable as their own masters at this time, they were originally quite arrogant, thinking that they were the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion, and they were superior, and during the time they were on the boat, they didn't take much care of the tiger girl.
But when I came here, not to mention that Chang Xi was popular, even Hu Niu had many people who knew her, and anyone who greeted Chang Xi would greet Hu Niu by the way, and since she got off the boat, the smile on Hu Niu's face has not been broken.
So, among the people of the Wei family, someone approached the tiger girl to make a sound, the tiger girl was humble on her face, but what she said was unceremoniously, although there was no show off, but it was not the same thing in the ears.
The group of Wei family members suddenly looked bad, and they were obviously looking for an opportunity to come back.
The tiger girl finally raised her eyebrows and exhaled, it's better to go back to Yiyang, even the sky has become a lot bluer.
Finally, the two major workshops that were still under construction appeared in the eyes of this group of people, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this workshop was much bigger than expected.
"Both of these are tea brick workshops?" Wei Jinfu asked Chang Xi.
Chang Xi smiled, "No, this one is a spinning workshop, and the one in the valley is a tea brick workshop, but the project has been expanded again and again, and it is still under construction." ”
Wei Jinfu couldn't help but be a little speechless, these two workshops occupy a larger area than the Wujin Mansion in the capital, and they are still under construction, so won't they be even bigger in the future?
Wei Guangnan licked his somewhat dry lips, "Cousin, your career is much bigger than I imagined, and now that I think about it, I was a frog at the bottom of the well before I came." At this time, there was a bit of excitement in his eyes, if these two workshops could make money every day, then could this model be replicated near the capital?
If this can be done, then Wei Guogong can also make a lot of money with a kick?
At this time, Chang Xi didn't know that Wei Guangnan had already begun to think about it in her heart, of course, if she knew, it would only be a welcome meaning, and with more funds coming in, this plate would become bigger, and she would wake up laughing when she fell asleep.
The carriage drove into the tea brick workshop first according to Chang Xi's intentions, and the news had already been obtained here, and Xie Ming and his wife came out to greet them with the management of the two major workshops.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Chang Xi didn't need to support him as usual, but jumped out of the carriage by himself, which scared the Wei family brothers and sisters, but fortunately, seeing that she didn't have anything to do, the brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief, and then Wei Jinfu did the same, refused her brother's support, and jumped out of the carriage herself.
Seeing this, Wei Guangnan could only smile helplessly, he had a hunch that this trip to Yiyang, his sister would definitely change, and it was estimated that when he returned to the capital, his grandmother and others would definitely feel that they didn't know her anymore.
As soon as Chang Xi took a few steps forward, Bai Shi rushed up first, "Chang Niangzi, you are finally back, what I am looking forward to is going to turn into stone." ”
These words made everyone laugh, but Xie Ming had a black face, what are these words? She was stoned, so what did he become? This mother-in-law used to suppress him, but now she is even more amazing, and she doesn't take him seriously.
"Okay, Eighth Young Lady, if you talk about it again, Eighth Master Xie can't wait for me to come back from the capital." Chang Xi joked.
Xie Ming hurriedly explained, "No, don't talk about my mother-in-law, even I look forward to your coming back quickly, I don't want to deal with that group of foreign devils anymore, I want to take advantage of them all." The last sentence is not a complaint, but his true feelings.
Dong Li and Xiao Tao also stepped forward with red eyes, they hadn't seen Chang Xi for months, and they were very worried.
Zhang Lianzi was even more excited and cried, Chang Xi hurriedly comforted her a few words, the little girl stopped crying, and then she was afraid that others would misunderstand, she hurriedly said, "I'm crying, it's not that someone is bullying me, but I miss Sister Chang." ”
Xiao Tao has been with her for the longest time, after all, this is her little apprentice, so she reached out and touched her head, the little girl has made rapid progress, but how can this not be sharpened by life?
After Chang Xi and his confidant Ai General finished talking to themselves, they naturally talked to other people in the management for a few words, of course, there were strangers in them.
That Du steward had already been transferred back to the capital by the angry eldest princess because Chang Xi gave him eye medicine in front of the eldest princess of Qianrong, and now the new one with a goatee is obviously from the staff of the eldest princess's mansion, and is no longer an inner eunuch, and he looks very kind.
"The contemptible surname is Fang, and I will ask Mrs. Chang to take care of it in the future."
Seeing that this Fang steward looked very kind, the smile on Chang Xi's face was also a little sincere, it should be easier to get along with than Du Guan Shi, but he can't say it too early, he still has to observe more in the future.
The first meeting between the two was in a good atmosphere.
When entering the tea brick workshop, Xie Ming said in a low voice, "This person has been here for some time, unlike Na Du, who is a good man, but he is quite shrewd. ”
In just one sentence, Chang Xi's initial impression of Fang Guan was deepened, "It's good not to be stupid." ”
As soon as he heard this, Xie Ming laughed, yes, it is much easier to deal with smart people than with stupid people, if that Du steward is not transferred, he will also annoy him, just rely on the eldest princess's mansion to be domineering, and he wants to compete with Chang Xi everywhere, which makes people even more annoying.
After all, he has never been able to win Chang Xi, and now he is willing to live under her, so he naturally can't get used to people who have no ability and desperately jump up and down.
As soon as they entered the workshop, the Wei brothers and sisters opened their eyes again, the interior of the workshop was not small, but quite spacious, and even faintly heard the sound of reading, which made the brothers and sisters wonder, I didn't expect that there were still people reading in this workshop? That's a rarity.
As a result, I learned that the workers of the workshop have the task of learning, and those who perform well can also participate in the examination for the selection of talents in the workshop, and after passing, they can be promoted and raised, so the workers are now quite active in reading and reading.
Dong Li also said, "Not only the workers of the tea brick workshop, but also the spinning workshop next door, we are now all internal promotion talents, Chang Niangzi said that these savings talents will take on great responsibilities in the future, so there are a lot of things to learn, such as management, finance, ......."
Wei Guangnan was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the workers only needed to work, but he didn't expect that they must also be literate and educated, which is really unusual, and immediately sighed, "I don't even know my cousin anymore." ”
Xiao Tao on the side said, "Our Chang Niangzi said that people must read and write in order to be wise, and I think Chang Niangzi worked this." ”
Wei Jinfu hurriedly asked, only then did she know that Chang Xi only began to learn to read and write after entering the school, and immediately had tears in her eyes, her cousin had a hard time before, and the words she used to listen to as a story were all heartaches when she thought about it now, if she hadn't been transferred, why would her cousin have to suffer this?
Xiao Tao saw that the noble girl from the capital was made to cry by herself, and hurriedly remedied, "Fortunately, now that the hardships are all over now, those past events are not worth mentioning." "So don't cry, or you'll be seen and you'll think I'm bullying you.
Wei Jinfu took the opportunity to press her eyes when she heard this, and she didn't cry in public, after all, she was the daughter of the Wei family, and she still had the ability to control her emotions.
Wei Guangnan was quite interested in the workshop, and Chang Xi arranged for someone to take him to visit, anyway, there was no shortage of people in the workshop who could speak well.
As for Wei Jinfu, seeing that her face was a little tired, it was obvious that she was holding on now, so she asked Hu Niu to take her to the newly built back residence to settle down first, and of course, the Wei family who came with her was indispensable.
The Duke of Wei was afraid that his own baby bumps would not be used to eating Yiyang cuisine, and even the cook arranged for two to follow, this is no small arrangement, in fact, Chang Xi was also stunned for a moment, thinking that this feudal nobleman would really enjoy it, and then it was not strange.
And she has to hold a meeting with the management of the two major workshops to go through what happened in the workshop during her absence, of course, the report data is indispensable, which is the most intuitive evidence of how the workshop is running during this time.
For Chang Xi's style, the management of these two major workshops is no stranger, and they have been preparing since they received the news that she is going back to Yiyang, so after sitting down at the meeting, someone immediately stood up to report.
Chang Xi, who was sitting in the main seat, listened carefully, and looked at the pile of information handed to her by the secretary before collecting the wind to confirm each other, although she did not suspect people and did not use suspicious people, but human nature is the most unintuitive, and she should be bothered and bothered.
It's not that no one here has ever thought of fooling Chang Xi, after all, the interests of the workshop are too great, and everyone wants to be greedy for ink in private, but in front of Chang Xi, they don't dare to make these small moves, after all, those eyes are too sharp.
In front of her, no one dared to make a mistake.
