This time, Master Dong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was quite polite to Chang Xi. He stayed in the research institute for a while, and was amazed by the research carried out there.

"Next time there is a good invention, Mrs. Chang must inform me, and I must go and see it with my own eyes." Lord Dong laughed.

Chang Xi also responded with a smile, "As long as the adults are interested, the girls will definitely follow suit."

"It's still the same even if I'm retired?" Mr. Dong joked.

Chang Xi replied seriously, "Naturally, my lord, there is no age distinction in the world of science, there are only dream chasers, and we are all dream chasers."

This sentence struck Master Dong's heart, and after a moment of shock, he was deeply moved, and then sighed: "What a dream chaser, I haven't had such an experience for many years."

Having been an official for many years, he didn't learn any other knowledge, but he learned how to be an official, how to flatter his boss, how to be a corrupt official to make money for himself. Thinking of these, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and never went to Caring about the identity of Chang Xi's woman, after all, this woman is much stronger than himself.

"In another day, I will be the host, and I will have a detailed discussion with Mrs. Chang."

"My lord, if you please, the daughters of the people must be happy to do so."

Chang Xi's eyes lit up at this moment. Compared with her search for scientific research talents everywhere, the department managed by Master Dong is a gathering place for skilled craftsmen. As long as he is willing to introduce one or two, she will be of great benefit.

It wasn't until people from the Ministry of Industry came to greet Mr. Dong that Chang Xi stepped aside, not bothering his subordinates to curry favor with his superiors.

It just so happened that Xie's family came to greet Lin Yuqi and Xie Yuxin's carriage, and she bid farewell to Lord Dong, and directly got into the carriage to talk to Xie Yuxin. As for Lin Yuqi, he sat in the carriage when Chang Xi came. The boat almost cost him half his life, and his whole body is sick.

Xie Yuxin is not usually a talkative girl, but she has a good relationship with Chang Xi, so she can talk eloquently, and even talked about family matters. For example, the Qin family arranged a marriage for their son Xie Xu. The girl's family was in the right family, so Qin began to urge his son to go home and get married.

"Fourth aunt directly asked me to issue a military order to take Brother Ten back. Don't you think this is embarrassing me?"

"Marriage is a major event, and it must not be delayed."

Chang Xi was eager for Xie Xu to get married as soon as possible, but she didn't expect to finally settle on a girl from a wealthy family in Yiyang City, and didn't look for it in the capital, but then she thought that the Qin family might have her own thoughts, so she didn't want to. Think too much.

"Isn't that right? Anyway, I only said my best at the time, but I didn't dare to guarantee that my fourth aunt would blame me." Xie Yuxin sighed, and then complained: "The same is true for brother ten. Since they are all in high school, they should start a family and start a career." Well, what's the point of hiding in the capital and not going back?"

Chang Xi does not express his opinion on this matter, so as to save Xie Xu from overthinking when he finds out. Fortunately, it is Xie Lao Wu who came to pick him up this time, not the tenth Xie Xu, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

The carriage entered Xie's house, Mrs. Xie's wife, Mrs. Sun, brought three daughters-in-law out to greet him. Although they were from the younger generation, they were from their hometown after all, so they had to show enthusiasm no matter what.

Seeing that Chang Xi was also getting off the carriage together, Sun's face immediately filled with a smile, "Why is Mrs. Chang here?"

"I am familiar with the third younger sister. This time she came here because of the research institute. Naturally, I have to pick up the ship. No, I will take the opportunity to come to Madam to bother me. Madam should not be disgusted..."

"Why do you dislike it? It's too late to welcome you." Mrs. Sun smiled, and then pulled Xie Yuxin away and said kindly, "Sister Xin is so old, if she is outside, the eldest aunt would not dare to recognize her, this girl The bigger it is, the more beautiful it is, the ancients never deceived me."

"Auntie, I'm going to be ashamed when you say that." Xie Yu said generously, and then greeted Mrs. Sun, and then the three sisters-in-law who stood aside. All in all, the courtesy was thoughtful.

Several daughters-in-law of Mrs. Sun immediately surrounded Xie Yuxin to greet him, while Mrs. Sun chatted with Chang Xi for a few words, until the half-dead Lin Yuqi got off in another carriage, Mrs. Sun hurried over to greet her.

The Xie family and the Lin family are family friends. Mr. Lin not only wrote letters to Chang Xi, but also wrote letters to the eldest son of the Xie family, so Sun did not dare to neglect Lin Yuqi. The aristocratic families in Yiyang are all one outside.

Lin Yuqi reluctantly met the ceremony, and then couldn't hold on anymore. Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked someone to bring in the government doctor, and then arranged for someone to carry Lin Yuqi to the packed guest hospital. In short, all the arrangements were decent and thoughtful.

Only now did Chang Xi have the opportunity to communicate with the young wives of the Xie family's big house. These few looked mediocre, and she knew they were from the Yiyang area just by looking at their appearance and hearing. People from other places are not considered.

Mrs. Bai was very polite and thoughtful, and her mother-in-law was busy arranging Lin Yuqi, so she devoted herself to accompany this prostitute daughter of the Han family who was the most famous recently in the capital. Even though there is an age difference, it does not prevent us from getting close to each other.

The house where the big house of the Xie family is located is not too big in the capital where land is very expensive, at least not as large as the mighty Marquis Mansion, but the accommodation is arranged reasonably, and it is not cramped at all.

Ben was still thinking about whether he would meet Xie Jin when she was a guest here, but she didn't know that he was not there at all, and she was probably very busy, so thinking about it, she gave up.

It's just that the person I didn't want to meet still met. When Xie Xu came back to pick up the things, he happened to see Chang Xi visiting the house as a guest, so he forgot about taking the things, and came directly to see the guest, looking straight at Chang Xi. Xi, just couldn't bear to move away.

And Chang Xi naturally avoided contact with him without a trace. The young man at this age was rebellious and difficult to control, so even though she was extremely bored, she still tried her best not to provoke him.

This made Mrs. Bai couldn't help being suspicious, what happened to this little uncle?Keep staring at Chang Xi to see that it's against the rules.

Afterwards, she mentioned this incident to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun, who had half-closed her eyes to enjoy the maid beating her legs, but after hearing what her daughter-in-law said, she sat up abruptly and waved her hand to signal the maid to go out. "Could it be..."

When Bai's mother-in-law was unfinished, she suddenly realized, "The daughter-in-law is also worried about this, mother-in-law, why don't you hurry up and cooperate with the fourth aunt to bring the uncle back to Yiyang to marry him? gone."

Mrs. Sun nodded, agreeing with what the eldest daughter-in-law said. If something happened to Xie Xu in the capital, she would have no room to explain to Sifang. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Qin's eyeball.

"I'll discuss this matter with your father-in-law again. You should take good care of Brother Xu first, and don't let him make mistakes. I will write to your fourth aunt to discuss this matter. If you cheat, you have to trick him back to Yiyang." marriage."

Mrs. Bai nodded hurriedly. Now that her mother-in-law has handed over Zhongfu to her, she can still do a small job like this.

In her opinion, Xie Xu's age is the time when he is most curious about women, and when he becomes a man who has seen women himself, he will stop thinking about Chang Xi.

Who told Xie's family to never arrange a room for her son-in-law. After staying in the capital for a long time, she felt that the existence of a room was not so abominable, but sometimes it could lighten the burden on her body. But in this case, she dared not mention it to her mother-in-law. and.

Lin Yuqi and Xie Yuxin had just arrived in the capital for a rest, when they received a summons from the palace. The emperor sent them into the palace to explain the steam exhaust machine.

Of course, as Xie Jin expected, Chang Xi couldn't escape this time, and the order came down to the Marquis of Weiwu, which made everyone in the mansion follow the frying pan. After being reprimanded by the emperor, it was time to be a man with her tail clamped tightly. Pian Changxi won the honor of entering the palace, and Mrs. Han and the Wei family took it as a big deal.

The new clothes and expensive heads flooded into the courtyard where Chang Xi lived like a tide, which gave her a headache. Didn't she want to enter the palace to be seductive, what is she doing with these flashy things?

Mrs. Han and the Wei family have their reasons, "You must dress up to enter the palace, otherwise, wouldn't you be contemptuous of your majesty?"

Regarding these remarks, Chang Xi was noncommittal, she knew the purpose of her entering the palace, so she didn't want to deal with these vain annoyances.

So on the day of entering the palace, she dressed very plainly, and even used jewelry with extreme restraint. In short, she tried to leave a refreshing and capable impression, rather than the image of a gorgeous, rich and beautiful woman.

Mrs. Han shook her head when she saw it, and felt that it was a pity for Chang Xi's good leather suit, but Wei Shi directly pulled a little emerald gold step rock from her head and inserted it into Chang Xi's hair, not allowing her to refuse, and said, "Just Shake it one step at a time to embellish it, you are not allowed to dial it, if the ladies in the harem are summoned, it will not look too plain."

Well, Chang Xi is too lazy to argue with Wei Shi on this matter, there is no point in wasting time.

"I'm going to enter the palace with my father-in-law, you guys go back first." She turned around and got into the carriage in the palace without delaying at all.

This made Mrs. Han and the Wei family look at each other in blank dismay. If any girl won the honor of the emperor, she would be fine, she would have the attitude of going out as a guest.

"It's not that she was raised in the mansion after all, it's still a bit close." Mrs. Han sighed, and then mentioned Wei Shi, "While she is still in the mansion, you should mention her more on weekdays, after all, you are a relative." Mother, it's not easy for her to refuse you."

"Daughter-in-law, do your best." Wei also said that she was suffering. Her daughter's resistance was not open, but non-violent non-cooperation. She also had a headache. Which mother had to be careful in front of her daughter like her?

Thinking of this, she hated Nanny Tao and Aunt Xin again.

As for what the Han family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disliked her, Chang Xi pretended not to hear it. This was the first time she came to the palace. Although she was calm on the face, she was still a little nervous in her heart. This was awe of the imperial power. After all It is not a society where everyone is equal, and it is normal to be in awe.

The carriage had just entered the palace, and she had to get out of the carriage and walk on foot as she did not have any grades. Seeing Hou Xie Jin waiting for her, a smile appeared on her face, and her mood relaxed a lot.
