Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 64 Banquet
A few days ago, many matters in East Street were handled with the help of the girls from the Xie family, and Xie Xian was grateful.
The young men of the Cui family were carefully trained by their clansmen, but the girls did all these things on their own initiative, so she couldn't help but express her gratitude. Noble ladies rarely went out, so Xie Xian decided to take them to Guiyun Pavilion for a good meal.
Guiyun Pavilion, a pavilion by the water.
In the private room, Xie Xian sat by the window, while the girls chattered non-stop.
This is because although they are noble ladies of the Xie family, they rarely have the opportunity to go out. Today, they were invited by Xie Xian to have dinner in Guiyun Pavilion, and they were very excited.
Seeing that the sisters were happy, Xie Xian waved her hand and invited a few dancers to come and add to the fun.
The girls' eyes were full of surprise. If their fathers and brothers were with them on weekdays, they would not be able to watch the dancers' performances, for fear that they would learn bad things.
The ladies in the family also kept a close eye on them and had no time to take them out to play. Even if they went to banquets in the gardens, the most they could do was recite poems, compose couplets, compete with flowers, play pitch pots, and drink wine.
I have never seen such a performance with brisk rhythm, fluttering clothes and enchanting dance.
Seeing that people really appreciated their dancing, the dancers worked even harder. All eyes were attracted to them. When the food and wine were served, everyone played music, danced, laughed, and had a great time.
"Sister Xian, are the affairs of East Street really going to be handed over to me?" Xie Minyan felt a little uneasy. It was because Xie Xian suddenly found her a few days ago and asked her to take over the affairs of East Street.
She was worried that she might not be able to do a good job, but Xie Xian used the excuse that she was too busy with the refugee affairs and that she was not up to the task, so she let her do it without further ado.
All Xie Minyan was thinking about was the affairs of East Street, and she did a good job in the next few days.
She thought that since she had made a tentative statement last time, Xie Xian was unhappy and was afraid that Xie Xian would ignore her in the future.
But I didn't expect to be entrusted with such an important task.
Seeing her in a daze, Xie Xian said solemnly, "Minyan is so smart. It would be a waste if she was left at home to waste her days." Her sister Min was as smart as Daiyu, with a lot of talent and outstanding ability.
As a qualified teacher, I really can't bear to see such a talented person trapped in the backyard and wasting his life.
Xie Minyan lowered her head, her mind churning. She hadn't seen her father for half a year, and they had only communicated through letters. Her father told her to think more about Xie Xian's actions. Her father's thoughts were unpredictable, and she felt guilty about Sister Xian, so she felt guilty for the praise.
She looked at Xie Xian with misty eyes, her heart was filled with excitement. My sister is the only one in this world who understands me.
The girls played with each other and the dancers danced. Although they were a little nervous, they saw that the girls did not look contemptuous, so their movements were not as stiff as before.
The dancers thought that it would be quite difficult for them to be invited by the noble ladies of the aristocratic families. It had happened before. They were jealous of each other for the favor of their lovers, and in the end the tired sisters were whipped to vent their anger.
At first, no one wanted to come, but they didn't expect it to be just a simple dance. And the ladies didn't talk to them in a condescending manner. Sometimes, when they heard them say that dancing was not easy, they would even show admiration.
Later, she even asked them for advice on makeup techniques, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Xie Xian nodded when she saw this, and it was worth what she had told her sisters before entering the house, to be modest and not arrogant, and to behave like a noble lady.
Xie Huanlang's eyes rolled and she came forward with a smile, "Sister Xian, you have brought the sisters to have so much fun. Next time, if there is anything you can do to help, don't forget the younger sisters!" If for nothing else, they were willing to come out and play.
A few days ago, they heard that Xie Xian brought Xie Minyan to visit the Qiqiao Festival. They were so envious. It was much more interesting than just sitting in a restaurant and drinking a lot of tea all night.
Xie Xian remained calm, this girl was not honest.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Although these sisters are a bit boring, they are still quite cute when they get along with each other.
Xie Xian lazily took a sip of the fruit wine.
"We want to share our sister's worries!" Xie Huanlang said nervously. They heard what she and Xie Minyan said just now. They thought they were no worse than Xie Minyan.
This time they went to help Xie Xian because Xie Xian really didn't care about gender when hiring people. They were bold in trying, and for the first time they felt the joy of being able to do something. Compared to chasing butterflies and embroidering flowers on weekdays, the feeling of being needed and respected was the most fascinating.
Xie Xian sat up straight and thought for a long time: "Okay, but you have to get your family's approval first." These girls are different from the men in Shu Zitong. Not everyone's parents are willing to devote their attention to their daughters.
She didn't say anything in reply: "As long as you learn the skills and pass my test, you can get the same job as the gentlemen." She thought that letting the girls stay in the backyard was a waste of resources. She had had this idea a long time ago, but they still needed to fight for it themselves.
When it was getting dark, Xie Xian asked Xie Miao to take them home. The girls came happily, but they were all worried when they left.
The autumn breeze was refreshing. Xie Xian tightened her clothes and bid farewell to the ox cart.
When I turned around, I saw Qi Ya standing under the lamp, as if he had been waiting there for a while.
Xie Xian raised her eyebrows: "But Mr. Cui has something to say?"
Qi Ya said respectfully: "My husband is just upstairs, and I am afraid that he will disturb the ladies' fun. I have waited until now to come and invite you to have a chat."
Xie Xian followed, and the two of them walked towards the back garden of Guiyun Pavilion under the moonlight.
Xie Xian was surprised that it was not the same private room as before.
Turning around the rocks in front, the willow branches beside the pond swayed gently in the wind, occasionally touching the water surface, stirring up tiny ripples, reflecting the young man's slightly red cheeks.
Cui Jing's collar was slightly loose, and he was leaning on a boulder by the lake, holding a wine jug in his hand. He looked tipsy and relaxed.
Before Xie Xian came close, she heard him say leisurely, "Second Madam Xian, when do you think I can catch a fish with this rod?
"Mr. Cui, have you heard that Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught." Xie Xian chuckled. In fact, this scene was very inspiring.
Xie Xian didn't know if there was such a thing as the Investiture of the Gods in this world. But she couldn't help but say this: this guy knew why he was here, but he was still pretending.
She didn't hesitate: "Have you made a decision on the matter we discussed last time, Mr. Cui?"
Cui Jing glanced at him with his peach blossom eyes, and said in a rather unfriendly tone: "It is rumored that the Black Stone Guards have been searching for the big ship these days. I wonder what the Lady of the Xie family has to say about this matter."
Xie Xian looked confused. What does this have to do with the Cui family?
Seeing Xie Xian was puzzled, Cui Jing continued, "Most of the large ships on the Huai River are used for cargo transportation, but my Cui family only does business on land, and only the Lu family specializes in water transportation, and they don't follow the rules."
"If the Black Stone Guards want to use large ships to do some grain business, then our cooperation will end here." What he said was already a warning. Even though she was Xie An's sister, she was no exception. The grain channels controlled by the aristocratic family were the foundation of their survival, and they would not allow others to get involved in them.
If other families wanted to use large ships, Cui Jing was not worried that their business would be taken away. However, the second daughter of the Xie family was calm and steady and good at business. She had heard from Xie An that the "Plan for Relieving Famine and Safeguarding the People" was also written by Xie Xian.
Others didn't believe it, but he believed it because Xie An never lied.
Such a decisive girl, holding the Black Stone Guard in her hands, once she gains momentum, the Cui family will have to give her three points.
Seeing Xie Xian's face showing a look of sudden realization, and then a look of amusement.
He frowned, this seemed different from what he expected.
Xie Xian laughed and said, "Lord Cui, you are worrying too much. I am looking for a big boat just to fish on the river near Black Stone Guard."
