Chapter 191 191: I will leave him speechless

Author: Dream Builder

John wanted to paint a portrait of Xiaotao. Xiaotao really took time every day to sit there and let him draw. Of course, the purpose was to test this John to see if his real purpose was the tea brick craft?

Of course, John had to preach to her. She was not very interested in the teachings that John said, and she was very irrelevant. Anyway, she didn't think she was born with the concept of sin. Madam Chang often said that people had to rely on themselves, otherwise she would believe this.

It may be seen that she was not interested in what he said, and John did not preach to her vigorously. However, she had heard that John preached to the villagers and had free food, and the villagers would enthusiastically support him. When they heard that there was no food, they did not even see anyone.

Once, she accidentally heard John lose his temper in the language of his own country. Although she couldn't understand what he said, she knew that he was very irritable, and those whispers should be swearing words.

Only then did she realize that John was pretending to be a good person, but he was a different matter himself, so he became more vigilant.

Later, seeing that missionary was not working, John began to play the emotional card, and always appeared beside her intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes he gave her a bouquet of wild flowers, sometimes he went down the river stall to pick up beautiful stones, and sometimes he was beautiful leaves that could be picked everywhere on the mountain.

The eighth young lady, Mrs. Bai, met her once or twice, and told her privately not to believe in men's style. This is to try to coax girls without even spending capital. How could it be so cheap? What's more, she is still a foreigner.

He also said that this foreigner cannot marry a wife when he becomes a missionary. The rules are similar to those of our monks. Don’t be coaxed by him, and you will regret it at that time.

These words made her look embarrassed, but in fact, her heart was not fluctuating. There is a saying in the book that if you are not my race, your heart will be different. She thinks it makes sense, but in order to find out the real purpose of John's coming here, she pretended to cater to John's move.

But she is not a ungrateful person. She knew that Bo Shi would remind her for the sake of Madam Chang, otherwise how could she, a master, care about the affairs of the servants?

So she sincerely thanked Bai Shi and said that she would be careful. Bai Shi didn't say anything more.

"If John hadn't done anything else here, I would have thought I had misunderstood him, but later, I found him wandering around the stables, and then the short mare I rode went crazy again. This time he once again saved the beauty with heroes. I used this old trick again and thought I would buy it and promise him, I'm gonna!"

Xiaotao's expression was full of disgust at this time. This foreigner didn't even change his tricks. Did he treat her as a fool?

"Did you find clues in that horse?" Chang Xi said incisively.

Xiaotao nodded, "I didn't say anything afterwards, nor did I let anyone else touch the short mare again. Then I asked Hu Niu to check the horse. Hu Niu found several embroidery needles from the horse's butt. It was probably when I got on the horse, and the needle was stabbed into the horse's flesh, so the horse would go crazy." He paused, "I deliberately injured him at that time, so I didn't give him the chance to pull those needles away. Of course, I had never tried him, but no one except him would do such a trick."

She has a clear position on herself. She is the servant of the Jie Mansion, and the servants of the other courtyard are also the Jie family. They don’t have to make up for themselves. After all, everyone is not free, so who can do anything without benefits? As for the workers of the tea brick workshop, they can’t reach into the other courtyard.

Chang Xi carefully observed Xiaotao's expression. Didn't this little girl find that she is becoming more and more independent? This time, this incident is both a test and a training. People must go through things before they can truly mature.

"So you went with the flow."

Seeing Madam Chang say in a very affirmative tone, Xiao Tao couldn't help but smile, "Why would I be willing to let go of such a good opportunity? Otherwise, when he is exposed next time, he will be in the Year of the Monkey and the Year of the Monkey. This person cannot be kept near the workshop for too long, so it would be better to send him away earlier."

After a pause, she continued, "So I pretended to be moved by his actions. When he became more enthusiastic, he really took the bait. Recently, he began to test how I made tea bricks. The words he gave were very curious. If you do tea bricks like this, you won't get moldy. Oh, by the way, he said it felt like magic."

When Chang Xi heard this, he knew that someone on James had tried making tea bricks, but it turned out to be moldy, so he asked John to inquire about the tea brick craftsmanship under the name of sketching and painting.

"Since that's the case, then you can defeat magic with magic." She patted Xiaotao on the shoulder and said.

Xiaotao was stunned on the spot. She had never heard of this statement before, but now she is used to using her mind in everything, so after thinking about it, she has gained some experience.

Mrs. Chang asked her to punish John with John's method. Since he had made her decision, she could make her decision in turn, and that's what she did. So she raised her head and said, "Miss. Chang, I understand, you can wait and see the result."

Chang Xi knew that the sentence did not belong to this era, but the truth was the same. As long as you think about it, there was no such a big gap between the language. Look, don’t this little girl understand it?

"Then I'll wait for your good news." She said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"Madam Chang, wait, I will leave him speechless." Xiao Tao clenched his fists and said firmly.

Xiaotao's progress is even greater than he imagined. Chang Xi has always used people without doubt, so he will naturally give Xiaotao enough room to play.

Just after dinner in Xiaoqianyuan, Zhou Nan came to invite her. She put down her chopsticks and sorted out her clothes. It was a bit cold at night. She even put on a thin cloak and then went to the front yard.

But when she met Zhixu again halfway through, she was almost speechless. Can this little kid play with a girl of the same age? She is almost old, after all, her mental age is there.

Jie Xu blushed and picked up the food box, "Mom made some porridge for Brother Jiu and asked me to bring it."

Since you have nothing else to mean, why are you blushing?

Chang Xi smiled with a smile, "Since you have met Master Jie Shi, should you recommend it yourself, or give it to Zhou Nan and ask him to hand it over to Master Jie Jiu?"

Zhou Nan immediately understood and hurriedly reached out to carry the food box, "Master Ten, just give it to the youngest. The youngest will wait for Master Jiu to eat and use later."

After all, Jie Xu was still a young man. His face had not yet mastered the thickness of the city wall, so he had to hand over the food box to Zhou Nan, "Then, then I'll go back first."

"Jesus Jie Shi walked slowly." Chang Xi bowed and gave it to him.

Jie Xu returned a greeting, and then walked back one after another. It seemed that he was going to stay in Qin's yard tonight. It was also true that Qin's strife was hit hard by this. No one except her own son could cure her.

Besides, how Jie Jin was dropped out at the beginning, it is estimated that Master Jie Si's words could not be trusted by Qin. In her opinion, after more than twenty years, this has long become a difficult explanation for the Rashomon incident.

From Qin's perspective, she lost a son, so she only stared at the youngest son with good eyes.

Zhou Nan naturally saw Jie Xu's little thoughts and immediately said in his heart. This lady Chang is really a disaster for beauty.

"Zhou Nan, don't think I don't know you're whispering me in my heart." Chang Xi turned around and looked at Zhou Nan with an eyebrow and smiled.

Zhou Nan's expression was suffocated. When did Chang practice mind reading?

"I don't know much about my mind reading." Chang Xi said again.

Zhou Nan was really scared by Chang Xi's operation. After experiencing the strange incident of the national master, he would feel distressed when encountering such a thing again, so he subconsciously moved several steps away from Chang Xi.

Seeing this, Chang Xi knew that Zhou Nan regarded himself as a beast this time. That's right. If this happens, will he still mutter to her behind her back?

When Xie Jin watched Chang Xi come in, Zhou Nan was draped far behind, and then he looked at Chang Xi, was he so scared? He was very brave.

Chang Xi understood the meaning of this look, so he also looked back at him. I was so happy that I scared him. Who told him to mutter behind my back, hum.

Jie Jinqiang was not as good as Chang Xi, so he could only turn his head and pretend not to see it.

Zhou Nan carried the food box and told him what happened to Jie Xu on the way.

I heard that the porridge was cooked by Qin, so Jie Jin was silent at first, but finally ordered Zhou Nan to scoop a bowl for him.

Chang Xi understood the meaning of this action, and it was a compromise between each other and was at peace for the time being.

She didn't say anything, and sat aside waiting for Jie Jin to finish the bowl of porridge before talking about something else.

Jie Jin didn't say anything, and silently drank the bowl of porridge that couldn't taste. He put down the spoon before letting Zhou Nan go down.

When there were only two of them in the room, he said, "If you want to leave the house, you have to wait a little longer. When my mother's side is completely stable, I will send you away. Don't worry, I will keep my word..."

"Master Jie Jiu, why have you become such a mother-in-law? I have never suspected that you are not trustworthy." Chang Xi interrupted him with a smile, "I have been waiting for so many days, and I am not in a hurry to do this. Since I am leaving, I have to leave with decentness."

Jie Jin smiled and said, "I will definitely give it to you." Especially this time, Qin did such an unreasonable and disgusting thing, and he didn't have the same face to bargain with Chang Xi.

The only one in Qin has always recognized the matter of Dian Wife, and the others have a negative attitude towards this matter.

Chang Xi shrugged his shoulders and expressed his acceptance of his statement.

On this issue, the two reached a consensus. Jie Jin leaned back on the pillow, and then he said the main purpose of today, "How much do you know about the mystery of my life experience?"

Finally talking about today's drama, Chang Xi also relaxed his body and said, "The details are not clear, but you generally know everything you should know."

Jie Jin frowned, saying that she knew that he was the son of the deposed prince. His mind was very fast, "How could he guess?"

Chang Xi innocently spread his hands and said, "Didn't you deliberately let me know?"

Jie Jin looked at her calmly, and he showed off his little bit of a clue. She could follow the clues. Should he praise her or be angry? This is a question.

Chang Xi smiled and let him see. He did not hide the details of his relationship with Yuan Hao in front of him. As long as she was not a fool, she would guess in that way. And why Princess Qianrong is used for him? Isn’t it just that he is the orthodox heir of the royal family?

"You are so smart, will I be reluctant to let you go?" Jie Jin sighed. She was the only one who can be so compatible with him in this world.

"You don't know. If you force me to stay, you will only be beaten up," Chang Xi saw through his inner thoughts, "If it were me, I would definitely be on the long line to catch big fish."

Her fish will definitely take the bait. The reason is very simple. It has nothing to do with the love between men and women, but with the property status.

Because she is just a civilian, the merchants of this era are different from later generations. Not to mention the low status, their property is also linked to their identity. I didn’t see that those big businesses have to donate a large sum of money to buy an official position. No matter what kind of official they are, as long as they have this identity, your property can be preserved, otherwise they will be divided up sooner or later.

Xu Dalang must die, she would not keep this time bomb to threaten her. He Li Road must not be taken, and Chang Dadou and his wife would not be able to control her. So she had already thought about it early in the morning that the Widow Road is the most suitable for her.

But if she wants to accumulate wealth, her identity is not enough. She has no suitable male relatives to donate an official position. Otherwise, she can also defend the wealth she has accumulated by relying on this. This road cannot be taken, and there is only one way left. She wants to raise her identity for herself.

"Justice Jie Jiu, as long as you find a skilled craftsman, the reform of textile machines is right in front of you. This year's time is a bit rush, and next year will definitely be put on the agenda. You have to think about how much wealth this is," she suddenly leaned into Jie Jin's ears, "The road to fighting for the throne also requires wealth to be pioneered. Jie Jiu, don't you think so?"

And Chang Xi is willing to make this money bag, and there is only one requirement, that is, she will get the corresponding status after success.

Jie Jin suddenly grinned. The handsome man was a handsome man. This smile almost made her stunned. Fortunately, she was so determined.

"What kind of status do you want?"

"What if I have a great plan? Master Jie Jiu, are you giving it or not?"

This made Jie Jin puzzled. What was she referring to? The position of the descendant?

He was shocked and thought, it was in line with her nature. She was never willing to be behind others. For example, if she walked with him, she had to go side by side.

"Actually, it's not impossible to consider."

Although this was ambiguous, Chang Xi's eyes lit up. What she wanted to fight for was nothing more than a place in the court. If Jie Jin did not refuse, it meant that there was room for negotiation.

So she was satisfied, and Jie Jin saw her laughing, and was also satisfied.

The two successfully negotiated a talk between chickens and ducks, and each thought they understood each other's thoughts, but in fact they were completely different.

Chang Xi returned to the backyard without staying in the front yard for long. This time, Jie Jin sent another chief to take her back, and Zhou Nan hid far away.

Chang Xi didn't care about this change either.

The next day, Chang Xi rode out of the house on a horse and was stopped by a carriage.

Just as Chang Xi frowned, the curtains of the car were lifted up, revealing a familiar face.

"Madam Chang isn't it? Can we talk?" He Xiling said.
