Chapter 284 082: People coming from Yiyang (first update)

Within two days, Chang Xi received a letter from Yiyang. One was from Bai. It mainly talked about the current situation of the institute, and then about the shipment of steam exhausters. Lin Yuqi and Xie Yuxin came to pledge the goods.

, and finally the approximate arrival date in Beijing, etc.

One was a letter from Mr. Lin. He was mainly worried about his grandson going north and asked her to pay more attention to him. Finally, he mentioned the shipment volume of the steam exhaust engine and signed a contract with the court, so he had to hurry up.

Production, so the production volume was briefly mentioned to her.

The last letter was from Xiao Tao, mainly reporting on the financial situation of the workshop after she left, and then sending the latest profits to the capital as she requested. This was the portion of the profits that was to be handed over to the emperor himself.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. It seemed that nothing major happened in Yiyang. This made her feel a little relieved. She counted on her fingers. Although she could probably calculate the time when Lin Yuqi, Xie Yuxin and his party would arrive in the capital, it would not be possible.

It's easy to say, but this was not good in ancient times. Communication was not timely.

She only had Huniu following her, and it was impossible to send them to the dock to guard every day, so she directly used people from the Weiwu Hou Mansion. After all, if they didn't use them, they would be used by her.

Send people to the dock every day to find out who is coming from Yiyang, and report back as soon as there is news.

After Mrs. Han and Mrs. Wei learned about it, they were quite happy and felt that the distance between Chang Xi and the Han family was gradually getting closer.

Chang Xi has been busy sorting out information on steam exhaust machines recently, and has declined all invitations. She has not spent time on these human connections. In her opinion, these are invalid social interactions, and she cannot confine herself to the back house.

, this is consuming your own life.

However, at the invitation of Mrs. Sun, she still went to show her face to save face.

Regarding Chang Xi's move, Mrs. Wei was quite worried. After all, Chang Xi was not young anymore. Although she had promised not to interfere with her marriage, she still wanted to secretly find a suitable husband for her. As for Xie Jin, she

She is not very optimistic. Judging from Chang Xi's previous marriage experience, she may not be able to be his wife, and being a concubine would be boring.

Chang Xi didn't know about Wei's secret thoughts. Even if she knew, she wouldn't be upset in her heart. Wei was not enough to control her. She didn't have such weight in her case.

During this period, Han Yongzhu's marriage was settled. In the end, she had no choice but to follow Mrs. Han's wishes and marry the widower who was twenty years older than her as her stepmother. For this reason, Han Yongzhu came to Chang Xi to cry and complain. Chang Xi didn't

Patiently turning her away.

Han Yongzhu was bored and was beaten a few times by someone sent by the Wei family. It lasted for two days, but when she learned that her dowry had been reduced and everything was done according to the rule of a concubine leaving the cabinet, she started to think again.

There was a fuss, and this time she went directly to Mrs. Han to cry.

When Chang Xi received the news, she couldn't help but smile. This was the right thing to do. There was no point in looking for her. It was more useful to look for someone who could be her master.

Mrs. Han didn't think much of Han Yongzhu, but she had been raised as a legitimate daughter for the past eighteen years. In the end, she gave her part of the dowry to add to her dowry. Only then was Han Yongzhu satisfied. She thought

Understand, if you can’t catch other things, then grab the benefits you can get.

It's a pity that the Wei family didn't have a happy quarrel with her, so it was impossible to give her part of the dowry. At this point, she couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have turned against the Wei family. If she had lowered her attitude, maybe she could still

Make a fortune from the Wei family.

In the end, she also got a fortune from her scumbag father, Marquis Weiwu. Han Yongzhu held on to the money tightly in her hands. This was the foundation for her to settle down for the rest of her life. After all, there was no place for her in this natal family.

.

Chang Xi ignored these things after hearing a few words from her servants and didn't take them to heart. It wasn't until the visitors from Yiyang arrived in the capital that she hurriedly asked people to hitch their carriages and went to the dock to greet them in person.

The docks in the capital are still crowded. The daily throughput here is probably a lot. Chang Xi can't help but feel jealous. When the situation stabilizes, she will definitely come to the capital to open a workshop. The prosperity here is also a good place to make money.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Huniu exclaim, "Ms. Chang, I saw the figure of the third girl."

Even though Chang Xi had changed her surname to Han after returning to her ancestors, Huniu still used to call her Mrs. Chang. Even if the maid serving Chang Xi in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion reminded her, she would not change her words. Of course, this move was quite frowned upon, but

As Lady Chang said, who cares?

Hearing this, Chang Xi immediately pushed open the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. This move made the maids who were following her let out a low cry. After all, it was too immodest. They murmured their lips and saw Huniu giving her a cold glance.

He glanced over and immediately closed his mouth knowingly.

Chang Xi didn't care about this and went straight to the front of the pier. Sure enough, she saw Jie Yuxin standing on the bow of the boat. I wonder if it was the joy of traveling. Jie Yuxin happily waved her handkerchief at her.

As soon as the boat arrived at the shore, she walked off the boat without being supported by the maid, "Sister Chang, I miss you so much."

"Third sister, it's been a hard journey." Chang Xi hurriedly reached out to help her, fearing that she would fall into the water.

However, Jie Yuxin waved his hand nonchalantly, "When I was a kid, I went out on a boat with my father. I'm not afraid of falling into the water. It's not like Brother Lin, who fainted so much as soon as he got on the boat and vomited so hard that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. I

I felt bad for him when I saw it..." At this point, she remembered Lin Yuqi, "Oh no, I forgot about him."

Chang Xi smiled and patted her hand, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin has someone following him, nothing will happen."

Mr. Lin was worried about his grandson's trip and wrote a letter to her. How could he not arrange the manpower?

"That's true, Mr. Lin looks at him as if he were an eyeball." Jie Yuxin complained.

Sure enough, Lin Yuqi was carried off the boat limply by his capable male servants. When he saw Chang Xi standing there with a smile, he quickly patted the male servant on the shoulder and motioned for him to put him down.

"Mr. Lin, are you feeling better?"

Lin Yuqi patted his head and said, "Much better." Then he seemed to think of something, and he happily told Chang Xi about his recent research findings. If he hadn't been forced to make this trip, he would not have wanted to travel and would have stayed in the laboratory.

That's really good.

Chang Xi listened to him very carefully. After all, Lin Yuqi's research direction was intentionally pointed out by her. Now the main research is to use steam power to automate the production of tea bricks. This was planned from the beginning, especially now that the tea brick workshop wants to supply domestic products.

, production has never been able to keep up, and automation is essential.

So when she heard there was progress, her eyebrows relaxed.

Of course, she left immediately without receiving anyone. When she saw Mr. Dong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, getting off the boat, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and showed him courtesy.

Today is Children's Day. I wish all the adults and children a happy holiday!
