At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

"It's a long story."

Meng Wanning smiled gently and said, "Shortly after the New Year, the head of the Xu family came to your grandmother and said that he wanted to find a husband for Mrs. Xu."

"So is this what you asked for?"

Pei Ji wondered, otherwise Xiao Yuheng would not have said how big the change was.

Xie Yuheng smiled, stood up, washed his hands carefully in the water brought by the servant.

The ladies of the academy are not like leeks in the field. They grow back soon after being cut, but they are scarce and highly sought after.

As expected, Meng Wanning shook her head and said: "How can it be possible? The one who graduated last year has already been decided."

"The head of the Xu family can only pay a lot of money to let two outstanding young girls from the Xie family go to the Xu Mansion to stay for a while."

"Although Ruyue and Ruguang are nominally looking for Miss Xu's family, they are actually their mother's teachers."

Xie Yuheng raised his eyebrows, Mrs. Xu was not a studious person.

Would a rich lady who was used to stretching her clothes and opening her mouth with her hands and food still want to learn the Four Books and Five Classics?

Then, he asked aloud: "Then Mrs. Xu is willing to learn?"

"Of course I won't."

Meng Wanning covered her lips and coughed lightly, raised her hand to signal Xie Yuheng to come over, and whispered a few words into his ear.

When Pei Ji saw the child, his usually calm little face suddenly cracked, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Meng Wanning continued: "Later, Mrs. Xu cut off her monthly salary."

Xie Yuheng has black lines all over his forehead. What's the use of Xu Yin Qiuyue's money? The little girl herself is very good.

With a shop in hand and a lot of money, even if the Xu family imposes a ban.

As long as the relationship between Xu Yinqiu and Xie Ruyue remains the same, who in Jiangling would dare to take advantage of the Xu family and ruin the Xie family's favor.

But this... raising a male favorite, the Xu family girl is indeed avant-garde in thinking...

"It just so happened that during that time, the head of the Xu family doted on a concubine, so he was a bit indifferent to Mrs. Xu. The daughter and her husband ignored her, but..."

Meng Wanning smiled, what the housewife relied on was only the confidence given by her mother's family or the future of her children.

As for expecting a man to be weak in water, he only takes a ladle to drink.

It's better to go to bed early, there's everything in your dreams.

Xie Yuheng joked: "So, my mother became the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved people for a time and allowed my wife to enter the tea party?"

It was said to be a tea party, but in fact it was just some ladies from Jiangling gathering to drink tea, chat, listen to plays and play polo.

All in all, they were exchanging the information they had, or taking the opportunity to flatter Meng Wanning.

If you gain favor, your own business will also rise with the tide.

Meng Wanning can also use this meeting to win over her daughter's hearts. Anyway, leisure is not rest.

"Don't you have a good relationship with that kid from the Xu family?"

Meng Wanning nodded her forehead, "Since the results of the general examination were sent back to Jiangling, Mrs. Xu's back has become tougher."

"On the contrary, the head of the Xu family is doing morning exercises every day. I'm afraid Mrs. Xu will also..."

Xie Yuheng is ashamed of Mrs. Xu who has read "Four Books on Women" and "Biography of Women" since childhood.

In just a few months, can you evolve a caring heart?

Pei Ji was confused when he heard this encrypted conversation.

But I feel that the way of getting along between my cousin and Xiao Yuheng is very novel.

In ordinary people, mothers would not talk to their children about the affairs of the back house, for fear of dirtying their ears and disturbing their minds.

Just as he was talking, Rong Shi came in and reported: "Master, the blacksmith in the city has arrived."

"Go."

Meng Wanning gently patted the little guy's hand. The days are long and the child has his own way to go.

After watching the three people leave, Meng Wanning also started to get busy.

Heavy rains in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely affect the price of silk this year.

The pricing of embroidery pavilions in various places also needs to be adjusted accordingly, and stocking up in advance is a lot of work.

......

Except for those who must be retained, 80% of the blacksmiths in the city were transferred to help the Marquis of Jiangling build the chickens.

This is also in Jiangling. It would be really difficult to go to Beijing.

Not to mention using roads for experiments, there are so many procedures that need to be run.

It needs to be reported to Jingzhao Yin first, and Jingzhao Yin will then submit it to the Ministry of Industry, and then to the cabinet. In the end, it may not be approved...

In Jiangling, you only need to report to Zhou Canyun and just say it.

The county guard wished he could go into battle with his hammer in person!

After hundreds of blacksmiths working day and night, the steam engine train was built in less than five days.

It’s mainly the people who assemble it, but the Xie’s craftsmen are busy, otherwise it could be faster!

It can be said that the industrial level is not enough, and there are many people to make up for it!

On May 21st, the sun was shining brightly, even a little bit fierce.

It’s almost the summer solstice, and early cicadas are climbing up the branches with the sunrise, chirping endlessly.

Beside the road at the head of Qinghe Village, the pomegranate seeds spit out by someone in the early years have grown into a dense tree.

Tall and straight, with strong branches, whirling green leaves, and decorated with blossoming red fire.

One shoe sole quietly approached the chirping cicada on the trunk of the pomegranate tree.

With a snap, Cicada's short yet long life came to an end.

Xie Yuezhong blew out a burst of hot air from his nose and muttered: "Noisy!"

Then looking at the huge iron lump parked on the sleeper, Yu Heng said that this was some kind of competition.

The name is weird and hard to pronounce. It doesn't look like a chicken or a car. It looks like an iron cage, which is airtight.

"Can this thing really run?"

Although I am not surprised by the many whims and whims of the Marquis of Jiangling, you said that this iron lump can run away on its own.

There is no need for people to pull it, let alone cattle, horses, mules and donkeys, but they really don't believe it.

"I also think it's impossible. If you can just walk away on your own, wouldn't you become a monster?"

The kid riding on the back of the ox said crisply: "I've heard of ginseng spirit and vixen spirit. This is the first time I've heard of iron spirit."

Other adults watching: "..."

Whose child is this? Why do the adults in the family teach them everything?

Vixen...is this a monster? ?

"In that case, would you like to accompany me to see how this iron spirit moves?"

Xie Yuheng was wearing a light blue gown and holding an ivory folding fan. He felt a bit cool just by looking at him.

After hearing this, some villagers howled: "Master, do you want to sit on this iron lump by yourself?"

"Absolutely not, Master, think twice."

If something happens, where can they find someone who can lead them to make a fortune together.

Xie Yuezhong also disagreed. He slept well the night before.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and it felt like the whole village was shaken. Later, I heard that it was a huge explosion.

He said aloud: "How about I do it? The old man's brain is not rusty yet, he can learn and see clearly."

"If you tore an old bone apart and threw it on the road, even the dogs wouldn't pick it up. If it dies, it will die."

Xie Yuheng chuckled lightly and said, "This is the first time for this spirit to walk the path of the human world. It needs a good teacher from Yuheng to teach it, so as not to get angry and give up again."

The one she blew up the day before yesterday was just to alert the craftsmen and she deliberately failed to point out its flaws.

After all, although each part is made by division of labor, as long as the blacksmiths put together a piece, they can still put it together.

Now that the warning has been issued, if someone builds his own steam engine and explodes in the future.

It can only be said that he reaped the consequences and had nothing to do with her.
