Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Xie Xian looked at Aweng who was obviously depressed, and the old man Suo who was indifferent and silent beside him, and thought that the relationship between the Black Stone Guards and the clan was so complicated.

As long as he doesn't ask for help, he can still lie down and be a parasite. But Uncle Xie's health still needs to get better, at least he can block it, otherwise let Min Meizi take his place as his father?

It’s not impossible, it just happens that they are short of manpower over on East Street.

In the Xie family's main room, several servants gathered together.

"Have you heard? The young master of the Wen family is finally getting married." A gray-clothed female servant's eyes flickered with gossip.

Several people nearby said anxiously: "Hurry up and tell me!"

"I heard it was Madam Xue." Someone said uncertainly.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's them! They both fell into the water at the Yu family's banquet, and Madam Xue even got a face injury. Now the two families are going to arrange the marriage." The gray-clothed female servant pursed her lips.

"Injured face?" The baby-faced boy was surprised.

"Do you know who beat you?" The gray-clothed female servant raised her head and deliberately whetted the appetite of the few people.

"Madam Min is the eldest lady of the Xue family after all. Who can be so presumptuous at a garden party?" The baby-faced girl obviously didn't believe it.

The gray-clothed female servant beamed with joy: "It is said that several ladies were present at the time, and it is said that that person was the one who started it." After saying that, she glanced in the direction of the inkstone pool.

"Oh?" The little boy covered his mouth and widened his eyes.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "You guys, are you guys slacking off here?"

Several people froze suddenly, and when they turned around, they saw the gray-clothed steward staring at them sharply.

“No, no…” Several people hurriedly picked up the baskets and brooms on the ground.

The manager said unhappily, "You know that person is powerful, but you still have the guts to gossip about him? You are all itching for trouble."

They had no choice but to agree.

Watching them leave, the steward curled his lips: "He actually offended the second house, he deserves to be beaten!" Wen Dalang always tried to get close to Dalangjun when he was outside, but only people in the Xie family knew about it, and Dalangjun had only met him once.

Later, he didn't expose her because of the second wife's face! She is really thick-skinned and thick-skinned.

Xue family.

Xue Nanzhi sat in front of the exquisite dressing table, her face, slightly dull due to injury, reflected in the bronze mirror. Her fingers gently stroked the tiny bruises on her cheek, and a hint of sternness flashed in her eyes.

She had been feeling aggrieved ever since she fell into the water at the garden party that day.

"If Xie Er hadn't intervened, I wouldn't have been so hasty in getting engaged to Wen Ran, even losing my dignity as a girl!" Xue Nanzhi secretly hated him.

In her opinion, Wen Ran was nothing more than a coward and incompetent person who couldn't even appease Xie Minyan.

Fortunately, she finally agreed to the marriage proposal. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel bitter. "In this marriage, the Wen family didn't help much with the Xue family. I don't know how my mother will blame me."

Thinking this way, deep down in my heart, I was secretly looking forward to it. If I could take this opportunity to get close to the Xie family...

Although the marriage with Xie Minyan was called off, Wen Ran was actually a palace official recommended by Xie.

Thinking of this, Madam Xue looked resentful, "Why doesn't Xie Minyan behave herself..."

It felt like there was a fire burning in my chest.

She would never forget the Xie Zhilan whom she met at the Lantern Festival a few years ago, otherwise she would not have dropped her handkerchief in front of Wen Ran after hearing about the marriage between the Wen and Xie families...

Whenever she thought of Xie Xian and the many sisters of the Xie family who supported Xie Minyan, Madam Xue secretly hated her. "If I..." Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed, with a bit of coldness in her laughter.

"Since this is fate, I will think about it carefully." Madam Xue stood up and walked around the room.

"Start with the Wen family first, and wait until the time is right..."

Just as she was immersed in her own fantasy, she suddenly heard the timid voice of a maid outside: "Madam, Mr. Wen has sent someone to deliver something."

"Really?" Madam Xue's lips curled up into a smile, "Lang Wen still remembers me." After saying that, she walked slowly, her figure becoming more and more graceful.

Xie family, inkstone washing pool.

Xie Xian and the others watched a group of naughty children playing in the small park. Qing Dai sat on a bench and said softly, "Ji Jiang has already made the drawings that my wife gave me last time."

Xie Xian lay on the recliner and hummed softly. The fan covering her face slid aside, and she changed her position and continued to lie down.

"What drawings?" Xie Minyan was a little curious.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a tool that makes it easier to draw water from the well." Xie Xian sat up with difficulty. Xie Minyan has turned into a curious baby since entering the inkstone washing pool.

She has willow eyebrows and fine eyes, and she looks delicate and charming. When she looks at you, she wants to give up her heart just for a smile. Xie Xian is a face lover, and now she treats her like a sister.

Xie Xian thought that it was not difficult to use the winch to draw water, but Qingdai's brother did have some talent.

"But has the winch for the well in the ancestral hall been installed?"

"Of course, Aye said it saves a lot of effort and it will be convenient to fetch water in the future!" Qingdai saw Xie Xian smiling and came over chattering. "The big stall just sent someone to ask if we can install a few for them too?"

Xie Xian raised her eyebrows: "It's the same process as the stove! You can use it at home." But you can't steal our business.

Several people were puzzled. They had seen that thing before. It was different from the complicated equipment on the ox cart in front. They could learn this one just by taking a few glances.

Xie Xian sneered in her heart. She was generous at first, but in the end everyone wanted to come up and take a bite.

She understood that some people would take advantage of others even if they were given a chance, and she would not indulge these guys, but she had to change her approach.

"Let Qingji recruit a few people to make more and put them in the shop, and use iron for the key parts." We can't count on making money from these things these days, but we must take the initiative.

The wear rate of wood is very high, and the price will naturally come down once it is made into an assembly line. Xie Xian was too lazy to say more.

"Yes," Qingdai was now increasingly unable to understand the Queen's intentions.

But when I thought about it, the well in the ancestral hall could make my wife pay attention to it.

Xie Miao smiled and said, "Who knows, my wife might really need it in the future!" Everyone thought about it and felt that what he said was true. With his wife's restless temper, it was not impossible for her to go to the ancestral hall to clean every now and then.

Everyone was laughing, but Xie Minyan looked gloomy, as if she was troubled.

Xie Xian slumped back in her chair and muttered, "Is there anything new recently?" Qingdai rolled her eyes and said, "My lady, the Qiqiao Festival will be here in a few days." She sounded a little excited.

"That's a good day to go out and have fun." Xie Miao smiled. She was in a good mood these days and often had a smile on her face.

Shi Liu sat on a low stool and peeled oranges for Xie Minyan. Without even looking up, she said, "I don't need to ask the Madam to lend me help this year!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and their faces had different expressions.

Xie Xian looked at Xie Minyan with a puzzled look on her face.

Xie Minyan's face flushed slightly: "In previous years, when we could go out on days like this, the Madam would arrange for a few gentlemen to take us out."

"Every time there are a lot of people, my wife is weak." It's better not to go than to be a burden. Shi Liu's voice became weaker and weaker as he spoke, and he stopped talking under Xie Minyan's gaze.

A trace of pity flashed in Xie Xian's eyes. "It's rare to go out during the Qiqiao Festival. Minyan has just recovered from a serious illness. Going out for a walk will make you feel better."

Xie Minyan heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. A feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart. "I... I don't want to go." She whispered.

The Qiqiao Festival comes once a year, which is so rare. But now that she has broken off her engagement, she cannot let her sister be humiliated for her own selfish reasons.

"Don't worry, Madam Min. In previous years, we in the Second House could only rely on ourselves, but now the Lady is here!" Xie Miao believed that Xie Xian could protect them. He had believed it since the first time they met. Everyone's eyes gathered.

Xie Xian's scalp tingled. She covered her face with a fan and said in a muffled voice, "Then go!" She didn't want to show her face in front of anyone at all. She was going to be kicked out and didn't want to shoulder any heavy burden.

Don't come over here!
