Chang Xi smiled with a friendly look, "I see your carriage is parked here, but do you need help?"

Han Yongzhu also looked at Chang Xi with a smile on his face, waved his hands and said, "Thank you Madam Chang for your kindness, no need, I just met your tea brick workshop here, and I stopped to look at it specially, after all, it is not easy in the capital. I have heard of your famous names in making tea bricks."

Chang Xi immediately caught the key word. She came from the capital, and seeing this young woman speaking unpreparedly, she pointed at herself, "This girl knows me?"

Han Yongzhu smiled again, "We stopped here for a while, and then we heard Mrs. Chang's name, so we know each other now."

Chang Xi laughed, "It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar, welcome the girl to Yiyang, by the way, don't you know the girl's last name?"

Just when Han Yongzhu was about to report her family undefended, Nanny Tao grabbed her and signaled her not to tell others about her background easily, especially this lady Chang.

Han Yongzhu frowned, and was not satisfied with Tao Nanny's style of putting up defenses whenever there was a turmoil. She felt that Mrs. Chang had no malice towards her, and she also felt that the other party was quite kind, and she wanted to be with her. What's wrong with saying a few more words?
Chang Xi's smile didn't reach her eyes, she was sure it was the first time she saw this nanny, after all, Yuan Shen didn't have this person in her memory, so where did her hostility towards her come from?
Feeling that Chang Xi was looking at her, Nanny Tao raised her head arrogantly and said, "My lady, please respect yourself, we are going on our way." Then he ordered the coachman to set off.

Han Yongzhu was very displeased with this blunt gesture, and was about to say a few words to Chang Xi to make amends, when the carriage started suddenly, and she lost her balance and fell on Tao Nanny, so she missed the explanation to Chang Xi Chance.

Chang Xi rode on the horse and watched the carriage go away, his eyes were inexplicable, and he began to guess in his heart. After all, there is no hostility for no reason in this world.

"Who is it?" Hu Niu on the side cursed with brows upside down.

"There's no need for pretentious people, let's go." Chang Xi said coldly.

Hu Niu let out a "bah" to the carriage going away, and then turned her horse's head to chase after Chang Xi who was one step ahead.

After Han Yongzhu sat down again in the carriage, she looked at Nanny Tao with an unhappy expression, "What are you doing? Madam Chang doesn't mean anything malicious, but you treat her like this?"

"Why should the girl care about people with unknown origins?" Tao Nanny stroked her forehead. She has never been through wind and rain since she was a child. The girl is so naive that she dares to make friends with anyone.

Han Yongzhu said sternly, "Nurse, we are here to represent the face of the mighty Marquis Mansion. If you are like this, people will criticize Hou Mansion for being arrogant. If one is not good, it will attract criticism from the censor. Why bother?"

To be kind to others is to be kind to oneself.

Mother Tao looked at the righteous Han Yongzhu with complicated eyes, and couldn't help feeling regretful in her heart. She should have suggested to the Wei family to teach her girls how to deal with the world. She was so naive, and she might still be counting money when she was sold.

"That's just a passer-by. Why should we argue about her, anyway, she is someone we will never meet again in the future."

Seeing that she could not communicate with Nanny Tao, Han Yongzhu immediately stopped wasting words and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window to calm down. When she left Beijing, her mother repeatedly told her to listen to Nanny Tao's advice. Now it seems that her mother's words may not be complete. right.

Tao Nanny knew that her girl was angry, and sighed subtly, how could the girl doubt her heart?
Forget it, just try to persuade her in the future, as time goes by, the girl's anger will dissipate.

After entering Yiyang City, he found out the location of Yuan Hao's mansion, and went straight there. As he approached, Han Yongzhu became nervous, and he forgot about Chang Xi he met, and talked to Nanny Tao again.

Naturally, Nanny Tao would not bring up Chang Xi unwisely, but said good things to comfort the nervous Han Yongzhu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Yuanhao's mansion, a man dressed in long suits waiting there came forward and asked a few words, and Mother Tao responded with a smile.

But Han Yongzhu was looking for Yuan Hao in the crowd, but he couldn't find her no matter what, his eyes were full of disappointment, but then he thought that he had arrived suddenly, and it was reasonable for him not to know that he didn't come to welcome her , and put a smile on his face again.

Zhan Xin glanced at the girl of the Han family with a smile on his face, he couldn't bear it, but he still said what Yuan Hao ordered.

Tao Nanny's face was startled, "Let my girl live in an inn?"

"It's for Miss Han's reputation."

Tao Nanny's face was full of anger, who would believe such nonsense?This marriage is a marriage bestowed by the imperial decree, so it is impossible to dissolve it. Yuan Hao is not saving face for his daughter.

Han Yongzhu looked shaky, "Impossible, I don't believe it, Brother Yuan wouldn't treat me like this, you are lying to me, right?"

It was hard for her to get this marriage, and she must not let it go by the door. At this moment, she is staring at Zhan Xin closely.

Zhan Xin sighed, and said helplessly, "This is really what our lord ordered, Miss Han, our lord has already reserved the best yard in Yuelai Inn, and it has already been arranged over there. Please go and stay there first."

After staying in the back house for so many years, Mother Tao naturally heard Zhan Xin's unfinished words. Now she can only accept this arrangement. It is impossible for Yuan Hao not to come to see her daughter all the time. , it is not too late to elaborate.

After thinking about it in her heart, she persuaded Han Yongzhu to go to the inn to rest first. Seeing that Han Yongzhu was only sad and didn't speak, she gritted her teeth and whispered in Han Yongzhu's ear, "Girl, let's retreat first. It’s not too late to plan.”

However, Han Yongzhu pushed Aunt Tao away with tears in his eyes, and looked at Zhan Xin outside the car, "Tell me, is Brother Yuan raising a woman in the mansion, so he won't let me in?"

Zhan Xin didn't expect Han Yongzhu to only care about such things, so he hurriedly said, "Our master has always kept himself clean."

What he said was right. Since the young lady passed away, only a few servants from the eldest princess have been waiting for my grandfather. When I left the capital, I didn’t bring any of them with me. They all stayed in the capital. Isn't provoking trouble considered clean and self-respecting?
In his opinion, he is almost a saint.

Only then did Han Yongzhu burst into laughter, no longer insisting on entering the mansion, and said to Aunt Tao, "Then listen to Brother Yuan's arrangement, he is also thinking about my reputation, I can't let him down."

Nanny Tao really wanted to split her girl's head open to see what she was thinking. She was clearly belittling her by making such an arrangement, but she was lucky. After hearing two plausible good words, she immediately said good things for her. stupid?
That's all, my girl is still young, she still has time to teach her well, let's pass the current test first.

"Since our girls have agreed, let's go to the inn you have booked first."

Zhan Xin saw that the matter was settled, and the smile on his face became a little more sincere, so he hurriedly led the way and let the convoy go to Yuelai Inn.

Yuan Hao, who had avoided seeing him in the mansion, just paused with the pen in his hand when he heard Zhan Xin came back to report. On the letter, the letter was destroyed in an instant. He impatiently dropped the pen, crumpled the letter and threw it into the waste paper bin beside him, then got up and walked out.

"Master, where is this going?"

Yuan Hao ignored Zhan Xin's questioning, but waved his hand and said that he was going out and asked him to stay in the mansion.

Riding on his horse, he went straight to the tea brick workshop in the suburbs.

The workshop was still brightly lit, and even the spinning workshop under construction next door was still in full swing. He stopped to take a look, and then plunged into the tea brick workshop. Unexpectedly, Chang Xi was not in the workshop.

He didn't stop for a moment and then turned around and ran towards the other courtyard.

Sometimes, liking someone is only related to yourself and has nothing to do with others.

When he arrived at the other courtyard, he got off his horse, threw the whip to the boy beside him, and asked Guan Shi, only then did he know that Xie Jin and Chang Xi were still in the laboratory. He frowned and waited patiently. They appear.

In the laboratory, Chang Xi looked at the steam exhaust machine that was already working. With the vision of future generations, she still felt that it was too simple, but after helping her for so long, this was already the most efficient one.

Xie Jin's eyes were full of light, and he kept asking questions, while Lin Yuqi was very talkative at this time, explaining the working principle tirelessly, and then murmured where he could improve, then he didn't understand Jin, and he himself Go to the side and write and draw again.

Xie Yuxin said with an embarrassed expression, "Ninth brother, don't worry about him, he is just like this, he will draw something as soon as he thinks of it, and then make it..."

"Third Sister doesn't need to explain, Ninth Brother understands in his heart." Xie Jin reassured.

Xie Yuxin didn't say anything more, but turned around to discuss with Lin Yuqi, and threw Xie Jin aside.

Xie Jin shook his head with a smile, and then had to observe the machine by himself.

Chang Xi said, "Security needs to be strengthened..."

"I can't be in a hurry. Now it's much better than before when miners went down the mine without any protection," Xie Jin said soberly, "You can't eat a big fat man in one bite, and you have to take it step by step. Wait for us to make a second meal." When the machine is replaced, it will naturally be stronger than this."

In this regard, he is very confident.

Chang Xi raised her eyebrows, and then said in self-reflection, "I'm the one who drifted away. You're right. There's no need to do it all at once. We can replace it."

"Those two ran away irresponsibly. Come and tell me the things that should be paid attention to when using this machine."

When Chang Xi heard what Xie Jin said, he had no choice but to resign himself to explaining it to him in detail, and even taught him how to use the steam exhaust machine.

It wasn't until the two of them came out of the laboratory that they realized that Yuan Hao had arrived.

The two looked at each other, what is he doing here?

Chang Xi only felt that he was very tired at this time, and he really didn't want to talk to Yuan Hao, but thinking that the tea brick business had to continue to be exported, and he was under the control of Yuan Hao's official position, so he had to restrain his temper and go to see Xie Jin.

Yuan Hao was about to fall asleep waiting, and when he saw that Shanshan was late, he couldn't help complaining, "You have excluded me now, and you don't reserve me for any good things."

This makes people confused, what do you mean not to reserve a share of good things for him?
"Just speak up if you have something to say, don't be so eccentric there." Xie Jin said bluntly.

Chang Xi smiled commercially, she also wanted to hear him say that he was ugly, otherwise it would be slander.

Yuan Hao sneered, pointed in the direction of the spinning workshop, and complained: "I know that I am interested in new spinning machines, and I have long wanted to participate in this business, but you are so lucky, you want to eat alone, be careful You two are so selfish."

Now Xie Jin and Chang Xi were both embarrassed, and indeed they forgot him when they were preparing the spinning workshop.

Seeing the expressions of these two people, Yuan Hao immediately said confidently, "I knew that if I didn't come, you wouldn't think of me. As expected, you two are going too far. Thanks to me, I have always introduced you as confidantes and friends." , how did you treat me?"

"Okay, I accidentally left you out. What a big deal, it's worth your yelling here in the middle of the night. It's ugly." Xie Jin said mercilessly.

Chang Xi scoffed, "Master Yuan, the door of our workshop is always open, and all parties are welcome to invest at any time."

No one would think too much money, so her attitude was very friendly.

Yuan Hao angrily pointed at these two thick-skinned people. Compared with them, he was not thick-skinned enough, but Chang Xi's words were still pleasing to the ear, so his expression calmed down instantly, and he took out the breakfast box directly. He handed the prepared bank note to Chang Xi, "It's not a lot of money, so let's treat it as an initial investment."

Although he is the son of the eldest princess, his salary is not much, the property in his hands is limited, and he never takes bribes. The family property has not yet reached the time for him to inherit, and the money he can use is limited.

Seeing Chang Xi accepting the investment with a smile, he coughed lightly and said seriously, "This is my private money, not the money from the Princess Chang's Mansion and the Xingnanhou Mansion, so it has nothing to do with them."

He didn't say anything about the tea brick workshop last time in front of Chang Xi, but he didn't agree with his mother's operation. In order not to arouse Chang Xi's disgust, he emphasized one sentence.

Chang Xi nodded to show that he understood. Looking at the amount of the bank note in his hand, hey guy, it's 10 taels of silver. Well, the royal relatives are not short of money.

The Spinning Workshop is currently well-funded. The main investors are her and Xie Jin. Of course, Xie Ming and Bai's couple are also participating in the shares. Now, Yuan Hao is added, so it is not short of money.

Of course, she will not accept everyone who comes to invest, but some people cannot refuse.

For example, Mrs. He, Mrs. Zhou, who came here on purpose, is the wife of Mr. Zhou, the parent and official of Yiyang City. Chang Xi is also an expert in dealing with the family members of officials.

Mrs. Zhou didn't think much of Chang Xi at first, and felt that most of her success was due to the help of men, but after really getting in touch with her, she had to change her mind. It is so beautiful that people follow her thoughts unconsciously.

Fortunately, she had a lot of dealings with human sperm, and she quickly walked out of Chang Xi's rut, explaining her reason for coming with a smile, "I am very optimistic about the prospects of the spinning workshop, and I hope to participate in it. Do you know what Madam Chang thinks?"
