pawn wife

John wanted to paint a portrait of Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao really took time to sit there and let him paint every day. Of course, the purpose was to test this John, to see if his real purpose was tea brick craftsmanship?

Of course, John also wants to preach to her. She is not very interested in what John said about the teaching, and she is talking about it. She can do it by herself, otherwise she will believe in this if she relies on the mountains to fall and the water to dry up.

It may be seen that she was not interested in the teaching he said, and John did not preach to her vigorously later, but she had heard that John preached to the villagers, and the villagers would enthusiastically support him if he had free food. Not one.

Once, she overheard John losing his temper in his own language. Although she couldn't understand what he said, she could tell from his expression that he was very irritable, and those chattering words should be curse words.

It was only then that she discovered that John's good character was just pretending, but he himself was another matter, and she became even more wary.

Later, when he saw that the mission was not going well, John began to play emotional cards, always appearing by her side intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes sending her a bouquet of wild flowers that bloomed well, sometimes going down to the river to pick up beautiful stones, and even more. It is the beautiful leaves that can be picked everywhere on the mountain.

Ba Shao's wife, Mrs. Bo, saw her once or twice, and told her in private, don't believe in men. This is trying to coax a girl without spending any money. How can there be such a cheap thing?What's more, this is a foreign devil.

He also said that this foreign devil is not allowed to marry a wife if he becomes a missionary. The rules are similar to our monks here. Don't be coaxed by him. You will regret it later.

Hearing these words made her look embarrassed, but in fact her heart was not fluctuating. There is a saying in the book that people who are not of my race must have a different heart. She thinks it is quite reasonable, but in order to find out the truth about John coming here Because of the purpose, she pretended to cater to John's move.

But she is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, knowing that Mrs. Bo only reminded her for the sake of Mrs. Chang, otherwise how could she, a master, care about such things as servants?

So she thanked Bo Shi sincerely, saying that she would be careful, so Bo Shi didn't say anything more.

"If John didn't do anything else when we got here, I would really think that I misunderstood him, but later, I found him walking around the stables, and after a while, the little mare I was riding Crazy again, this time he saved the beauty again as a hero, repeating his old tricks thinking that I would buy it and make a promise to him with my body, bah!"

Xiaotao's expression was full of disgust at this time, this foreign devil didn't even change his tricks, did he take her for a fool?

"You found a clue on that horse?" Chang Xi said sharply.

Xiaotao nodded, "Afterwards, I didn't say anything, and I didn't let anyone else touch the little mare, and then I asked Hu Niu to check the horse, and Hu Niu found a few embroidered flowers on the horse's buttocks. Needle, probably when I got on the horse, I slapped the horse's butt, the needle pierced into the horse's flesh, and the horse would go crazy." After a pause, "At that time, I deliberately crushed him, so I didn't let him have a chance to put it on the horse. Those needles were taken away, of course I didn't interrogate him, but no one would do such a trick except him."

She has a very clear position for herself. She is a servant of the Jiefu, and the servants of other courtyards are also from the Xie family. They don't have to plot against themselves. After all, everyone is not free. The workers in the workshop can't reach into other courtyards with that hand.

Chang Xi carefully observed Xiao Tao's expression, didn't this little girl realize that she was becoming more and more assertive?The incident this time is not only a test, but also a tempering. One has to go through things before he can truly mature.

"So you're on your way."

Seeing Mrs. Chang said in a very affirmative tone, Xiaotao couldn't help but smile, "I have such a good opportunity, how can I let it go? Otherwise, it will be another year of the monkey when he shows his feet next time. This person can't be placed near the workshop for too long." Time, it is better to send him away as soon as possible."

After a pause, she continued, "So I pretended to be moved by his actions, and when he became more enthusiastic, he was really hooked. Recently, I started to test how I make tea bricks. The excuse he gave was He was curious how the tea bricks wouldn't get moldy, oh yeah, he said it felt like magic."

As soon as Chang Xi heard this, he knew that someone from James should have tried to make tea bricks, but it turned out to be moldy, so he asked John to inquire about the tea brick craftsmanship in the name of sketching and painting.

"In that case, then use magic to defeat magic." She patted Xiaotao on the shoulder and said.

This made Xiaotao dumbfounded on the spot, she had never heard of such a statement, but now she is used to using her brain in everything, so after pondering these words, she gained some experience.

Mrs. Chang wanted her to use John's method to punish John. Since he was plotting against her, she could plot against him in turn, and that's what she did, so she raised her head and said, "Ms. Chang, I understand, just wait and see the result."

Chang Xi knows that sentence does not belong to this era, but the truth is the same, as long as you think about it a little, there is not such a big gap between the words, look, doesn't this little girl understand?

"Then I'll wait for your good news." She said, "I will leave this matter to you."

"Chang Niangzi, just wait, I will make him speechless." Xiao Tao clenched her fists and said firmly.

Xiaotao's progress has been greater than he imagined, Chang Xi has always been trustworthy in employing people, so he will naturally give Zu Xiaotao room to develop.

Just after dinner in Xiaokuayuan, Zhou Nan came to invite her. She put down her chopsticks and tidied up her clothes. Since it was a bit cold at night, she even put on a thin cloak before going to the front yard.

Unexpectedly, he met Xie Xu on the way, and she was almost speechless. Can this little boy play with a girl of the same age?She is almost becoming a veteran, after all, her mental age is there.

Xie Xu blushed and picked up the food box, "Mother made some porridge for Brother Jiu, let me bring it."

Since you mean nothing else, why are you blushing?

Chang Xi pulled his face and smiled, "Since we met, Mr. Xie Shi, should you bring it up yourself, or hand it over to Zhou Nan, and ask him to hand it over to Mr. Xie Jiu?"

Zhou Nan understood immediately, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the food box, "Master Shi, just leave it to the younger one, and the younger one will serve Master Jiu to eat later."

Xie Xu was still a young man after all, and his skin was not as thick as the city wall, so he had to hand over the food box to Zhou Nan, "Then, then I will go back first."

"Master Xie Shi, go slowly." Chang Xi saluted and sent him off.

Xie Xu returned a salute, and then walked back step by step. It seemed that she was going to stay in Qin's yard tonight. That's right, Qin's family suffered such a serious blow, and no one could heal her except her own son.

Besides, how Xie Jin was subcontracted in the first place, it is estimated that Mr. Xie Si's rhetoric could not win the trust of the Qin family. In her opinion, after more than 20 years, this has already become the Rashomon incident that cannot be explained clearly.

From Qin's point of view, she had lost a son, so she would only keep her eyes on the little son.

Zhou Nan naturally also saw Xie Xu's careful thinking, and suddenly clicked his tongue in his heart, this lady Chang is really a disaster.

"Zhou Nan, don't think that I don't know that you are slandering me in your heart." Chang Xi looked back at Zhou Nan and raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Zhou Nan's expression was suffocated. When did this Chang become a mind reader?
"I don't know how to read minds." Chang Xi said again.

Zhou Nan was really frightened by Chang Xi's operation now. After experiencing the weird incident of the national teacher, he would feel terrified when encountering such a thing again, so he subconsciously moved away from Chang Xi by several steps .

Seeing this, Chang Xi knew that Zhou Nan had regarded herself as a scourge this week, yes, in this way, will he still whisper her behind her back?

When Xie Jin watched Chang Xi come in, Zhou Nan followed him far behind, and then he glanced at Chang Xi. How dare he scare him like this?He is timid.

Chang Xi understood the meaning of this look, so she gave him a look back, the old lady was just happy to scare him, who told him to mutter about the old lady behind his back, hum.

Xie Jinqiang was no better than Chang Xi, so he could only turn his head and pretend not to see.

Zhou Nan stepped forward with the food box in hand, and told the story of meeting Xie Xu on the road.

Hearing that Mrs. Qin made the porridge, Xie Jin was silent at first, and finally ordered Zhou Nan to scoop up a bowl for him.

Chang Xi understands the meaning of this move, it is a mutual compromise and they will live in peace for the time being.

She didn't say a word, just sat and waited for Xie Jin to finish the bowl of porridge before talking about other things.

Xie Jin didn't speak either, he finished the bowl of tasteless porridge in silence, put down his spoon and let Zhou Nan go down.

When there were only the two of them in the room, he said, "If you want to leave the mansion, you have to wait a little longer. When the mother's side is completely stable, I will send you away. Don't worry, I will keep my word..."

"Jie Jiuye, why have you become such a mother-in-law? I have never suspected that you are not keeping your promise." Chang Xi interrupted him with a smile, "I have been waiting for so many days, and I am not in a hurry. Since you want to If you go, you have to walk decently."

Xie Jin smiled and said, "I will definitely give it to you." Especially this time when Qin did such an unreasonable and disgusting thing, he didn't have the face to bargain with Chang Xi.

The matter of pawning his wife has always been only recognized by the Qin family, and everyone else has a negative attitude towards this matter.

Chang Xi shrugged his shoulders, accepting his statement.

On this issue, the two reached a consensus, Xie Jin leaned back on the pillow, and then said the main purpose of today, "How much do you know about the mystery of my life experience?"

Finally talking about today's drama, Chang Xi also relaxed his body and said, "I don't know the details, but I generally know everything I need to know."

Xie Jin frowned, so she even knew that he was the son of the abolished prince, and her mind turned so fast, "How did you guess?"

Chang Xi spread her hands innocently, "Didn't you let me know on purpose?"

Xie Jin stared at her steadfastly, and she was able to follow the clues just by showing a little bit of his flaws. Should he praise her or become angry from embarrassment?This is a problem.

Chang Xi smiled and let him see, he did not hide the details of his relationship with Yuan Hao in front of him, as long as she was not a fool, she would guess in that direction, and why Princess Qianrong was used by him, not because he was the royal family Orthodox heir?

"You're so smart, why would I be reluctant to let you go?" Xie Jin sighed, and she was the only one in this world who could be so in tune with him.

"You won't. If you force me to stay here, you'll be beaten." Chang Xi saw through his inner thoughts, "If it were me, I would definitely put a long line to catch big fish."

Her fish will definitely take the bait. The reason is very simple. It has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but with property status.

Because she is just a commoner, merchants in this era are different from later generations, not to mention low status, property is also linked to status, I have not seen that those big merchants have to donate a lot of money to buy an official position, no matter what the official is, As long as you have this identity, your property can be kept, otherwise it will be divided up sooner or later.

Xu Dalang must die, she will not keep this time bomb to threaten her, and the road to Heli must not be taken, and Chang Dadou and his wife will not let her be manipulated, so she thought about it early in the morning, the widow's road is the most suitable for her .

But she wants to accumulate wealth, this status is not enough, and she has no suitable male relatives who can donate an official, otherwise she can keep the wealth she has accumulated by relying on this. This road cannot be taken, and that can be taken There is only one way left, and she wants to raise her identity.

"Xie Jiuye, as long as you find skilled craftsmen who can use them, the reform of the textile machine is just around the corner. This year is a bit rushed, but next year it will definitely be on the agenda. You have to think about it, what a fortune this is," she suddenly leaned over. To Xie Jin's ear, "The way to seize the heirloom also needs wealth to clear the way, Xie Jiuye, don't you think so?"

And she, Chang Xi, is willing to make this money bag, and there is only one requirement, that is, she must get a corresponding status after she succeeds.

Xie Jin suddenly grinned, a handsome man is a beautiful man, this smile almost made her stare blankly, but fortunately she has enough concentration.

"What kind of status do you want?"

"Then what if my plan is big? Xie Jiuye, will you give it or not?"

Xie Jin was puzzled by these words, what was she planning to do?Post?

His heart was startled, and then he thought about it, this is also in line with her temperament, she is not willing to be left behind at any time, for example, if she walks with him, she must walk side by side.

"Actually, it's not impossible to consider."

Although the words were ambiguous, Chang Xi's eyes lit up. What she wanted to fight for was nothing more than a seat in the court. If Xie Jin didn't refuse, it meant there was room for negotiation.

So she was satisfied, and Xie Jin was also satisfied when he saw her smile.

The two successfully conducted a chicken-and-duck negotiation, and each thought they understood the other's thoughts, but in fact they were very different.

Chang Xi didn't stay in the front yard long before returning to the back yard. This time, Xie Jin sent another escort to take her back, and Zhou Nan hid far away.

Chang Xi didn't care about this change either.

The next day, as soon as Chang Xi rode a horse out of Jiefu, he was stopped by a carriage.

Just as Chang Xi frowned, the curtains of the car were lifted, revealing a familiar face.

"Madam Chang, right? Can we talk?" He Xiling said.

Sorry, I will update a chapter today, and I will make it up to everyone tomorrow.
