Chapter 92 092: Well Water Doesn't Violate River Water (Part [-])

Chang Xi couldn't help but praised in her heart. After all, she was quite accomplished in calligraphy, and she couldn't help admiring it when she saw a good calligraphy in front of her eyes. No surprise.

This word is quite suitable for people. When it is time to admit that others are excellent, she will still admit it generously. There is still a certain pattern in being a human being.

Especially the letter of employment she mentioned before was directly changed by Xie Jin to an employment contract. Well, this is more in line with the idioms of the current people, and it is better than what she said before.

In general, she was quite satisfied with this matter.

"You don't need to give this to me, Mr. Xie Ba, you just take it. If anyone doubts it, you just show it to him."

The subtext of these words is that if someone doubts his relationship with her, he should slap this piece of paper on that person's face, and let him know that they are acting in an upright manner, and there is nothing shady about them.

Of course Xie Ming knew what Chang Xi wanted this for, but he didn't show it to her, lest she might misunderstand that he hadn't done it well, so he put away the employment contract with a smile.

After the matter was settled, Xie Ming took Mrs. Bo back to his yard, and he was officially about to get busy.

As the old lady in the mansion, Mrs. Rong sees all these things, but when there are no outsiders around, she still murmurs to her husband, Mrs. Xie, "This Mrs. Chang has a big heart, let Brother Ming be with her." Is it suitable for mixing? I don't know what the fourth child is thinking, it may be a good thing for Mrs. Chang to leave the house sooner."

Although she appreciates Chang's neither humble nor overbearing, this is not what a woman should look like. A woman who is too strong cannot be locked in the backyard. What such a woman brings is not happiness, but disaster.

The old man Xie was still lying on his recliner, shaking the cattail fan in his hand to drive away the hot summer heat. As he was getting old, he was too cold to use ice. Only by fanning can I feel comfortable.

"I said, old woman, what are you doing with so much effort? We can still live for a few days at this age, and our children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so letting them toss around is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion."

Explain how much this grandson weighs, would he, a grandfather, know?

This is a useless person, don't think about studying and becoming an official, he doesn't have the patience to study, if he follows the path given by Bai's family to become an official, he would feel ashamed, so why not let him toss around like this, if he succeeds, The grandson has naturally been tempered, and if it fails, there is no loss.

Rong glanced at her husband, this old thing is getting lazy with age, and he doesn't even care about the future of his children and grandchildren.

"Didn't Brother Jin acquiesce? You, don't worry about it so much, let's just watch this matter from the sidelines, and the fourth brother didn't say anything?" Old Master Xie comforted his wife.

Rong was silent, she knew that her husband was worried, that's all, after so many years of wind and rain, it's not too late.

Because of the connivance of the old couple, the others dared not say anything even though they complained. Qian Shi is the one who is depressed but can't stop her. Now, neither her son nor her daughter listen to her. , Qian was so angry that she lay on the bed for several days.

Master Xie Er said that she was looking for guilt. Don't you know what your youngest son is like?

It would be nice for someone to take him with him, not to mention that now that the daughter-in-law is back, with the daughter-in-law watching, why should she, a mother-in-law, come out to scold others?

What she said made Qian even sicker. She felt that the man and her were not of the same mind. If it were before, she would have listened to her all the way. She became more and more prejudiced against Chang Xi and Bai Shi.

He said to the two daughters-in-law who came to serve the sick: "It's better for you to be considerate, go back and watch your own man, don't be fooled by the words of outsiders, and do things that insult the family."

These words were too pointed, and Yang and Di understood immediately. They didn't quite understand the choice of Xie Ming and Bai's couple. Then Chang is just a pawn wife, so she really has such a great ability? ?
But Chang Xi didn't offend them, and they wouldn't go to trouble others. They who came from a family would not do such a disgraceful thing. In short, it's best not to offend the river like this.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, my husband is focused on preparing for the exam next year, and he will go to Beijing in a few days. My father-in-law has already written to my uncle about this, and my aunt said that the yard has already been prepared and I am waiting for my husband to go. This time, you have to pass the Jinshi exam for everything you say, how can you have time to take care of other people's affairs?" Di said hurriedly.

Qian believes that the second son has always been the most able to calm down and study, but he was unlucky in the past two times and failed to pass the Jinshi exam. He will definitely come back with a victory when he fights again next year. She is still waiting for this son to earn her an imperial order Woolen cloth.

So, she nodded, "During this time, take good care of brother Zhao, so you don't have to come here to wait on the sick."

Di Shiba had no choice but to use it to serve Qian Shi, but she dared to show joy on her face, and hurriedly refused, until Qian Shi insisted again and again, she finally agreed with a look of reluctance.

Seeing this, Yang groaned secretly, she was just too honest, not as smooth as her sister-in-law, and now the matter of serving the sick must all fall on her.

"Brother Xiao, daughter-in-law, you should take care of me more in the future."

Hearing this order, she forced a smile and said, "Mother-in-law don't say that, daughter-in-law should."

My husband is not expected to take the imperial examination. After being a scholar, he failed many times and finally had to give up. He will take care of the family business with his father-in-law. He will probably follow his father-in-law's path in the future. The idea, she gave up early on.

Fortunately, the Xie family still has Da Fang and San Fang as officials in the court, so they will not really decline.

The affairs of Xie's house did not affect Chang Xi, and her affairs went on step by step.

It took only one night, so Xie Ming put a thick stack of documents in front of her with red eyes and dark circles, and then said while yawning, "This is the situation of the major tea merchants in Yiyang City, you see look."

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows. This Xie Lao Ba's ability to handle things is pretty good. He sorted out the materials in just one night. I really underestimated him before.

Xie Ming couldn't help but chuckle a couple of times, this is much harder than when he was taking the imperial examination.

Chang Xi was immediately amused by his appearance, that's all, for the sake of his hard work, she didn't want to hit his poor self-esteem.

"Baye Xie, let's go back to catch up on sleep first. I'll ask someone to invite you if I have any questions after reading this."

As soon as Xie Ming heard this, he turned around and walked away without saying a word, it seemed that he was really sleepy.

Chang Xi shook her head, and while looking at the information at hand, she asked Dong Li to invite Shi Bichi.

For these natives who grew up in the same circle, they know each other very well, and Xie Ming also took advantage of this to compile the information so quickly.

Shi Bichi hadn't come to Chang Xi's place for a few days, and when she heard that Chang Xi had misrepresented Jin's deeds of 50 taels of silver for a single tea brick, she immediately felt more at ease with Chang Xi, and it seemed that she really had no intention of seducing Xie Jin, so she , She doesn't have to come over to supervise from time to time, so as not to be caught doing coolies again.

But when she saw Dong Li coming to invite her, she hurried over, for fear of missing Chang Xi's important event.

As soon as Chang Xi saw her coming, he immediately gave her part of the heavy documents in his hand, "Look, is there anything missing here?"

Shi Bichi didn't know, so she took the information and only looked through it, and she knew it. This is the information of the major tea merchants in Yiyang City and nearby cities, which she is familiar with.

So, she sat cross-legged across from Chang Xi, introduced all the major tea merchants written on the information, and corrected the mistakes in the information.

"The Shen family of this Mingxiang tea house is not easy to deal with. They think they are very noble, and the daughters of his family have their eyes above the top. Maybe they claim to be tea sellers, so they are very arty..."

Chang Xi was noncommittal about these remarks, Shi Bichi was very careful with his words, and it seemed that the Shen family gave her a bad impression by saying this.

However, she seemed to have heard the name of Mingxiang Tea House before. After thinking about it for a while, she remembered that the first time she met foreign devil James, he was doing business with Mingxiang Tea House.

The big shopkeeper surnamed Shen didn't leave a good impression on her, and it was indeed a bit like what Shi Bichi said.

So she silently gave the Shen family a cross in her heart, but if the Shen family has a good eye for seeing the advantages of tea bricks and is willing to spend a lot of money, then it is not impossible to cooperate.

Shi Bichi didn't know what Chang Xi was thinking, she wanted to help Chang Xi succeed now, so she knew everything and said everything.

It took most of the day for the two of them to discuss, and in the end they even had a working meal. It was not until the mid-day of the moon that Shi Bichi said goodbye and left.

Chang Xi sent her off in person, and after some hypocrisy, everyone turned around and left in satisfaction.

With this investigation, Chang Xi has mastered the details of all the major tea merchants, and of course has a preliminary choice in his mind when it comes to choosing a partner.

When the time agreed with James came, she got up early to get ready, and even called the superintendent to explain.

When Xie Ming heard that he was going to discuss business, he immediately became energetic and changed into his favorite clothes, appearing in front of Chang Xi like a peacock.

Chang Xi was almost blinded by his appearance, "I said Baye Xie, we are here to discuss cooperation, not to go to the brothel Chu Pavilion." You are too coquettish, of course she didn't say the last sentence, and it's okay to explain it. Can't understand.

Xie Ming looked down at his attire, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but seeing Chang Xi's disapproval, he resigned himself to his fate and went back to change into a more ordinary dress, which even provoked Bai's ridicule.

Chang Xi saw that he was back to normal, and then set off for the Yuelai Inn.

Sitting in the sedan chair, she saw Xie Ming riding a horse beside her, and wondered when she would unlock the skill of riding a horse. After all, her equestrian skills were quite good, and she was definitely much better than Xie Laoba.
