pawn wife

Xiaotao was counting on the side, and saw that the amount of food and medicinal materials consumed was astonishing, which was a huge sum of money, no wonder those people wanted to set up longevity tablets for Mrs. Chang, and she would do the same.

"Miss Chang, it's finally a blessing to live up to her fate." Hu Niu said solemnly to Chang Xi.

"Thanks for your hard work." Chang Xi patted the shoulder of this able-bodied leader. From this, it can be seen that Huniu can also take care of herself, which is very good. "I plan to organize a girls' school, and you will be in charge of it when the time comes."

Huniu's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes, I will do my best."

But two days before Chang Xi was happy, someone came to kidnap her right-hand man.

Looking at her elder brother and sister-in-law in front of her, as well as the embarrassed General Li, she straightened her face and said seriously, "Are you really here to propose marriage?"

Han Rongyuan smiled and said, "My good brother wants to marry Huniu girl, so he specially invited me and your sister-in-law to be the matchmaker. I thought it was a good thing, so I agreed, sister, what do you think of this marriage?"

Mrs. Jiang was also beating and drumming at the side, "Don't look at Li Shenjiang as a man of five big and three rough, but he is a careful person, and my sister-in-law never tells lies."

Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law spoke well of General Li Can, Chang Xi naturally saw General Li's sincerity, "You are going to marry Huniu, this marriage must be approved by her, and no one can be her master."

"That's natural." Li Shen said seriously.

After hearing this, she immediately found Huniu and asked her what she meant in private.

Hu Niu blushed, but she still said generously, "On the way back to Beijing, he said that he would come to propose marriage. I thought he was joking, so I agreed..."

"Then what do you mean now?" Chang Xi said with a smile, "Huniu, you are the person next to me. The initiative in this marriage is yours. As long as you refuse, even if it is my brother and sister-in-law who are the matchmakers, I can reject it. Don't be afraid of offending others. I will take care of everything."

Huniu's eyes were full of emotion, "I want to bring my adoptive father here and ask him what he thinks. After all, it is not easy for my adoptive father to raise me." If she didn't tell him about such a big event as getting married, she would not be able to pass this test.

"It should be so." Chang Xi nodded in agreement.

The marriage proposal was put on hold for the time being, and Hu Niu's marriage would not be settled until Ma Da arrived in the capital.

However, because Li Shen will propose marriage to Huniu, many small families in the capital have noticed the people around Chang Xi, especially Dongli and Xiaotao. There are waves of people who propose marriage, but the two women are very determined. They don't need Chang Xi to remind them. They also know the purpose of these people's marriage proposals.

As the date of the big wedding approached, even if Mrs. Chang was not the queen, she was still the emperor's wife. This weight became more and more important day by day, and there were more people with ulterior motives. In the end, the two women even said that they would not consider marriage within two years, so they sent everyone away.

"Actually, you can still pick out a good one after careful screening." Chang Xi said afterwards.

Xiaotao shook her head, "I'm not in a hurry, there are more interesting things in this world than getting married, I don't want to put shackles on myself right now."

Chang Xi stroked her forehead, she dared to swear to God, this thought was definitely not instilled by her, and she would not take the blame for it.

Dongli, who was still a little anxious about the marriage, agreed with Xiaotao's words this time, "Instead of getting married in a hurry, it's better to take it slowly, so as not to encounter unkind people. Besides, the headquarters of the workshop has just been established, and there are still many things to do."

Well, these two girls are becoming more and more assertive, and Chang Xi is also happy to see this situation. It is better to be sober in the world than to be muddled, especially the turbulent clouds in the capital, which are much more complicated than Yiyang. She was worried that they would not adapt and lose themselves, but now it seems that she is worrying too much, and the speed of their growth is also visible to the naked eye.

On the opening day of the Beijing headquarters of the Tea Brick Workshop, she asked Zhao Jin to give permission to let go of tea brick making, and no longer monopolize the business. As a result, major tea brick workshops sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and they all praised Xinjun’s benevolence and let them enter this industry to get a share of the pie. Of course, those who know the inside story are more moved by Chang Xi’s generosity. After all, who is willing to give up a hen that lays golden eggs?But the housewife is full of atmosphere.

Yuan Hao laughed privately with Chang Xi, "I really have you, obviously you have taken up all the market, leaving them only leftovers, and they want to miss you in turn..."

"You want to say that they are sold and count the money for me?" Chang Xi interrupted him with a half-smile.

Yuan Hao glanced at Zhao Jin, who was sitting at the top, and quickly waved his hands and said, "I didn't say that, you are not allowed to rely on me, eat and eat, didn't you ask me to come to eat? I skipped a meal today to like this royal meal."

Zhao Jin signaled the company to give Yuan Hao some vegetables, "It seems that there is something to eat and you can't stop your mouth."

Yuan Hao hurriedly said that he would stop talking and concentrate on cooking, he couldn't afford to mess with these two people.

After the enthronement ceremony, he accompanied his mother to guard his father's mausoleum, and only recently returned to the capital, but he did not expect that Zhao Jin would arrange Chang Xi in such a way. He originally wanted to come to fight for injustice, but seeing the way these two people looked at each other, he knew that he had guessed wrong.

It is estimated that such an approach was requested by Chang Xi. In fact, he couldn't understand what Chang Xi was thinking, but as a friend, he chose to bless silently.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to attend your wedding, so I'll deliver the gift first." Before parting, he said.

Zhao Jin nodded, motioning to his father-in-law to accept the gift from Yuan Hao, "Stay with aunt well."

"Yes." Yuan Hao replied with a smile, her mother is much easier to get along with now than before, at least her temper is no longer irritable.

But Chang Xi warned, "Even if you are guarding the mausoleum, you must pay attention to your health, take care of yourself."

Yuan Hao smiled and answered one by one, finally got into the carriage, took a deep look at the two of them, and left the palace.

Zhao Jin did not keep Chang Xi in the palace, but arranged for someone to send her back to the Marquis of Anding. The closer the wedding day was, the more he paid attention to these etiquettes, obviously he did not want people to gossip about Chang Xi behind his back.

Chang Xi didn't really care much about it, anyway, sooner or later she would sleep in the same bed, but who told her future husband to be old-fashioned?

Even if she becomes the hands-off shopkeeper, she should still appear on the stage. Whoever said that this wedding was prepared according to the specifications of an emperor's wedding, so there are many things in terms of etiquette.

On the day of the wedding, Wei Shi lifted her out of the bed early in the morning, and it was time to dress up.

Putting on a heavy wedding dress, a heavy tiara, and the current fashion makeup on her face, she looked in the mirror, and it was okay, it wasn't as scary as she imagined, so she didn't raise any objections.

Sending her daughter off to get married, Wei cried so much that she was obviously reluctant to let her go out of the court, so Jiang, the daughter-in-law, could only comfort her from the sidelines.

On the contrary, Chang Xi couldn't cry. She didn't feel any sadness about leaving her mother's house. She held Wei Shi's hand calmly, "Don't cry, I'll come to see you when I come back three times. They are all in the capital, very close."

When Wei heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Does this girl have the consciousness of getting married soon? Thinking about how she cried when she left the court.

Now she stopped crying, "Hurry up and get on the sedan chair, don't miss the auspicious time." To save her daughter from being picked on.

Han Rongyuan squatted down, "Sister, I will carry you out of the pavilion."

Looking at her brother's strong back, Chang Xi suddenly felt her nose sore, and only then did she realize that she was really going to get married.

Slowly climbing onto his elder brother's back, Han Rongyuan carried her steadily towards the sedan chair outside the mansion, and finally sent her into the sedan chair, "You were homeless before, and my brother never carried you on your back. Today, my wish is finally fulfilled. Sister, you must be happy. Remember, your mother's family will always be your backing."

Tears welled up in Chang Xi's eyes, and he nodded at Han Rongyuan, "Brother, I will."

The welcoming officials began to urge, Xi Po hastily put down the curtain of the sedan chair, got up the sedan chair, and headed for the palace.

Han Rongyuan stood in place and watched the long wedding procession go forward, until the last person disappeared around the corner, and then he returned to the mansion to entertain the guests who came to send the wedding, and then changed clothes and went to the palace to attend the palace banquet. The schedule of the day was very full, and half of the melancholy of sending his sister to marry was washed away.

When Chang Xi was helped down from the sedan chair, she felt a little drowsy, but when she thought that this was the only wedding in her two lifetimes, she cheered up instantly, and walked forward step by step with the support of the nanny in the palace, towards her predetermined destiny.

After worshiping the heaven and the earth and the ancestors with Zhao Jin, the husband and wife made obeisance, the ceremony was completed, and they were sent to the bridal chamber, and the two officially became husband and wife.

When Zhao Jin lifted her red hijab with a scale, she looked up at him, and finally smiled at him. It felt quite fresh to be married to him.

"You belong to me at last." He leaned over and whispered in her ear.

The warm breath brushed her ears. It was not the time when there was no ear-to-ear, but it was far worse than this moment, which made her heart flutter. Her face gradually blushed, and she really returned to life more and more.

Picking up the wine, looking at the handsome face in front of her, she finally felt married. For the rest of her life, this man would engrave everything about him in her life. She thought she would feel uneasy, but the fact was that she was willing to do so.

After drinking the cup of wine, she dragged him in front of her, "You also belong to me completely."

Zhao Jin laughed out loud when he heard the words, and echoed dotingly: "Yes, it all belongs to you alone."

After getting married, Chang Xi has a high degree of freedom. In the court, she and Zhao Jin, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. But when they return to their private lives, they are just ordinary couples. No matter how busy they are, they have to spare time to accompany each other. Of course, sometimes they have disputes because of ideas, but this does not affect their relationship. Both of them are masters of balancing reason and emotion.

Chang Xi sometimes thinks that God sent Zhao Jin to her, what is an ideal partner, the one that suits her best and is the best match.

In the second year of their marriage, Chang Xi gave birth to their eldest son, Zhao Che.

The birth of this child made many courtiers who were not used to their way of life shut their mouths. Even Shen Changxi's papers were greatly reduced. After all, no one was willing to offend the future monarch's biological mother, regardless of her status, and it was only a matter of saying that someone wanted to be a queen.

Chang Xi, who was in a stable position, had a lot of success in promoting the process of industrialization. She was also a chicken thief, and she didn't shout slogans. She didn't affect the interests of the landlord class at the beginning, which made the group of people not realize that what she was doing was digging their roots.

In the fifth year of Zhao Jin's ascension to the throne, the research institute launched the first generation of hybrid rice, which doubled the yield per mu at that time. Chang Xi was not very satisfied with this result, but others were so happy that they called out the gift of God.

Chang Xi laughed privately, "What a great opportunity. If you don't go here, you will lose the opportunity to make great achievements. What a pity..."

Zhao Jin squinted at her, "Didn't you say that it is a waste of money?" He touched his chin immediately and said, "Actually, I really want to go, or else I should first move some of the funds approved to the Ministry of Industry and use it to go to Taishan to enshrine Zen..."

"No, please don't." Chang Xi hurriedly stopped, and then said with a gloomy look, "You'd better not go, we don't have the money."

Every penny allocated by the Ministry of Industry is useful, because the previous old emperor was too busy, and the treasury of the Daewoo Dynasty was not abundant. Fortunately, after Zhao Jin ascended the throne, he opened up the private treasury inherited from the old emperor and used a considerable part of it to recharge the treasury, so that the treasury could continue to operate.

And Chang Xi's tea brick workshop adopts steam-powered automatic production, and it is still a golden chicken that lays golden eggs. She directly handed over [-]% of the profit that she gave to the old emperor to the national treasury, and then made sharp reforms to increase exports.

But scientific research is still a gold-swallowing beast. The husband and wife don't talk about imitating the old emperor's luxury enjoyment, and they can't wait to invest every copper coin in the development of productivity.

Now Zhao Jin finally understands what science and technology is the primary productive force. After all, Chang Xi has really tasted the sweetness of this sentence that Chang Xi often talks about. The better the life of the people, the more stable his rule will be. This is much more useful than Taishan Fengchan.

But no matter what the courtiers thought, the agricultural officials of the Dayu Dynasty began to promote hybrid rice on a large scale, and officials from all over the country had to cooperate vigorously when they received the order.

The joy of the harvest made the common people laugh, and the landlord class was also happy. After all, their fields had higher yields. Although the imperial court taxed them heavier, the rice left after the tax was more than before, which was within their acceptable range.

The promotion of women's schools gave more girls the opportunity to receive education, which provided the foundation for them to work in workshops, and began to have the capital to survive independently. In the future, when they really awakened, they would start to fight for their own rights. Chang Xi just planted a seed at this time.

The business of Daewoo Dynasty has flourished like never before, and the invention of rubber will inevitably bring about more inventions and creations, and the simple version of the bicycle was born under such circumstances.

This made James, who felt fresh changes every time he came to Dayu Dynasty, couldn't help but sigh. He thought Yiyang was prosperous enough, but he didn't expect that the capital city was even worse. At least this thing called a bicycle is not common in Yiyang, but it can be seen in the capital city.

While looking at it, he talked to the short man beside him, "Look, this is the strength of Da Yuchao. They have even strengthened the defense of the southeast coast. It's no wonder that you were suppressed severely in the coastal area. If you can't beat it, you have to admit defeat..."

The short man's small eyes flashed with greed and envy, "Is that General Si, who is well-known along the coast recently, your former interpreter? He has defected to Dayu Kingdom, and his strong ships and powerful guns are cruising the sea. I believe that your interests in the Far East are also being damaged. I heard that small countries in the surrounding sea areas have also surrendered to Dayu Kingdom. That person named Zhang Yingda is in charge of this matter..." Come on, hurt each other.

So not only their interests are damaged, but also their foreign devils. If they want to steal the technology of the Daewoo Kingdom and develop it in the East Ocean region to build a raw material production base, that would be a dream. Now that the Daewoo Kingdom is taking action in these sea areas, it is obvious that they also want to incorporate them into the development of the Daewoo Kingdom.

James pursed his lips and stopped talking. The Daewoo Kingdom was developing too fast, and they were gradually unable to keep up with the pace, so most of his previous deployments were useless now, and the foreign priests were not developing smoothly in the Daewoo Kingdom. It was even more difficult to obtain useful technology. The people in their country were too amazing. They believed in God but did not believe in God.

Unexpectedly, the short man continued, "In the past we could send envoys to Tang Dynasty, but now we can still send envoys to Yu to learn the advanced technology and culture of Dayu Kingdom. Compared with the background, they are even better."

At this moment, while walking in the spacious streets of the capital, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, but he hadn't seen it for many years, and he was not sure if he saw it wrong, so he stepped forward quickly, and tried to call out, "Chang Niangzi?"

Chang Xi, who had a rare half-day leisure in her life, was holding her little daughter's hand to buy things in the store. Hearing that this eccentric accent was quite familiar, she suddenly turned her head to look at him. She was stunned for a while, then smiled, "Long time no see, James."

"It's really you, Mrs. Chang. Long time no see. You still have the same face. Unlike me, you are already an old man. I praise you for recognizing me." James marveled that the face of an oriental woman has remained unchanged for more than ten years. This lady Chang is in her thirties, why is she still the same as before?
"I still remember you fresh, we are friends after all." Chang Xi teased.

James was emotional, and then saw the little girl beside Chang Xi staring at him curiously, and then he suddenly remembered Chang Xi's identity, and immediately saluted Chang Xi in a hurry, "Miss Chang, I'm sorry."

"No defense." Chang Xi didn't care about these hypocrisy, and was about to say something more, when he saw a short man trotting forward, with a look of surprise and surprise on his face, and as soon as he came up, he poked James' waist with his hand to signal him to introduce him, after all, he was too short and too tall for him to reach.

James had no choice but to introduce Chang Xi to the short man immediately.

In fact, without James' introduction, she recognized the origin of this short man at a glance. He really came from the man who claimed to be from the Land of the Rising Sun. Obviously, this man recognized her identity and spoke quite flatteringly. Finally, he even asked, "I don't know if Daewoo Guohuan welcomes us to send emissaries?"

"Of course you are welcome. Our Daewoo Kingdom is open to welcome friends from any country in the world." Chang Xi smiled, but if you come here with evil intentions, then I'm sorry, that is to come one to destroy one, come to one pair to destroy the other pair.

Obviously the woman opposite was smiling very beautifully, but he couldn't help but shivered, and the short man had to temporarily put aside his scheming.

Suddenly a carriage stopped beside him, and the one who pushed open the carriage door was an extremely beautiful young man. When the indifferent young man saw Chang Xi and the little girl, he immediately smiled, "Mother, little sister, father and elder brother came back from inspection, and sent me to pick you up."

He stepped down from the carriage and picked up the little girl who was only five or six years old. The brother and sister were intimate together.

James was slightly taken aback. Are Mrs. Chang's children this old?

Chang Xi ignored James' stupefied, said goodbye to him with a smile, and then got into the carriage with the help of her second son. Compared with outsiders, she missed Zhao Jin and her eldest son whom she hadn't seen for a while. The father and son had been out for several months. Now that they had returned, she was eager to return home.

However, the speed of the carriage on the street is not fast. Looking at the people riding simple bicycles around him, Chang Xi feels that this bicycle is still a bit eye-catching. It seems that the Ministry of Works should be ordered to improve it. He is really worried about the safety of this bicycle.

"The palace is renovating the palace roads, and the emperor said that the officials will be allowed to ride this car up and down..."

"As long as you like it..."

Well, this can be regarded as an improvement, Chang Xi thought, but if this new thing enters the homes of ordinary people, it needs to continue to make the people rich.

Endless life means endless tossing.

It wasn't until Zhao Jin abdicated in advance to become the Supreme Emperor, and Chang Xi, who also abdicated, was honored as empress dowager by the eldest son who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. In the following years, the husband and wife did not spend much time in the capital.

"History of the Great Universe" records that Chang Xi's title of Marquis of Anding was later inherited by her daughter's eldest daughter. Since then, the title has been inherited by the eldest daughter of this line until the fall of the Dayu Dynasty.

Later generations commented on Chang Xi, saying that she injected fresh blood into the Daewoo Dynasty and saved the dynasty from declining for 300 years, but she was also a gravedigger of the feudal monarchy. Industrialization will inevitably bring about changes in the times. The rise of new powers will definitely grab more voices, and it is an inevitable result to move towards a republic.

When Chang Xi was dying, she once asked Zhao Jin, "If one day you find that what I bring is not all good, and it is very likely that you will ruin your country, will you regret supporting me?"

Zhao Jin held her frail body tightly, and he, who was about to reach the end of his life, smiled slightly, "There is no eternal dynasty in the world. We have fulfilled our mission by working hard to make the people in this land live and work in peace and contentment. As for the rest, we will leave it to future generations."

In fact, he had discovered the hidden dangers of what she did a long time ago, but he didn't want to go against the law, and he didn't want to let the newly opened people's wisdom return to ignorance, which would only accelerate the collapse of the Daewoo Dynasty, so he can only move forward, and moving forward is the correct path.

"Don't go too far on Huangquan Road, wait for me to chase you."

"it is good."
