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

Chapter 120: Knowing People and Making Good Use of Them

East Street was a busy scene, and the sanitary conditions on the street were well maintained. The original thatched houses had been replaced by a row of elegant blue brick and tile houses. The high walls were continuous, and the majestic ridge beasts sat on the roof beams, showing a solemn look.

The hustle and bustle of East Street set off the sisters' leisure. Xie Xian took a sip of tea and her eyes fell gently on Xie Minyan: "East Street has indeed changed a lot. You have worked hard, little sister."

The changes in East Street are talked about by villagers with great relish, and they also bring peace of mind and hope to people’s lives.”

A shy smile appeared on Xie Minyan's face. She had never expected that her hard work could bring such great changes to the surroundings.

Since Aye's health has improved a lot, the father and daughter have no way to repay Xie Xian. They can only work harder to repay Aye's love for her.

"Eat quickly, it's so hard to get you out!" Xie Xian greeted this socially anxious girl without any hesitation, and it was so hard to get her out to share in the popularity.

She buried herself in work every day, and was so busy with Xie Miao that she felt suffocated.

"There's always something to do, so just have fun. Besides, it would be a shame if I don't bring such a beautiful girl like Minyan out for a walk!" She said, glancing at the private room opposite the cafeteria.

When I went upstairs, I seemed to hear the voice of Xie Jinyuan, the naughty boy. But Xie Xian was out with her girlfriend today and didn't want to pay attention to that naughty boy.

Xie Minyan lowered her head and was about to respond to her sister's compliment, but was interrupted by a sudden noise.

The crying and complaining of a woman from the private room next door could be heard faintly, and the sound of a teacup breaking on the ground was clearly audible, attracting the attention of both men.

"Sister, over there..." Xie Minyan said curiously, her eyes bursting with excitement.

Xie Xian raised her eyebrows, not realizing that her sister was such a gossiphead. She said with amusement in her heart, "If you want to listen, just listen." She was out for fun, so she didn't care about anything.

The two listened attentively, and heard the woman in the compartment crying: "How could he do this to me? I didn't give him the money this time, and he was bewitched by someone else!"

Another woman tried to comfort him: "My lady, don't be angry. Mr. Qi must have been bewitched by a vixen."

"It turns out that what my brother said was true. I worked so hard to support him in his studies, but he..." The girl's voice was childish, but her tone was heartbroken.

"Mr. Qi is already engaged to me, why is he becoming more and more unscrupulous?" the maid said angrily.

Xie Xian and Xie Minyan smiled at each other, quite interested in this "interesting thing" that they had encountered by chance. They quietly approached the window and looked out.

I saw a student in blue clothes talking to a woman in white clothes on the street. The woman seemed to notice someone peeping from the second floor of the tavern, but she pretended not to see it and continued talking to the student.

"Looks like he's a powerful one." Xie Xian raised her eyebrows slightly, finding this bloody scene funny.

The crying sounds from next door became louder and louder. Xie Xian rubbed her head and was speechless.

"That lady is pitiful too. She's already engaged." Xie Minyan looked unhappy, as if she was remembering her past.

Xie Xian didn't care: "Can't the engagement be cancelled?" She really didn't know much about it, but when she was helping Xie Miao write the divorce letter, she asked about it. Before the marriage certificate was issued, it would not count.

"But in the end, it's the woman who suffers." Xie Minyan felt the same way.

At this time, the maid next door whispered: "Madam, you'd better close the window, otherwise Mr. Qi will find out and blame you for meddling in other people's business." It seemed that she was used to Mr. Qi's behavior.

Xie Xian's expression did not change at all. She continued to eat and drink, and watched Xie Minyan listening to the gossip with her ears perked up. The various expressions on her face kept changing, which was really cute.

In the private room across from the tavern, Xie Jinyuan was talking loudly. His face flushed, he made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Xie Xian: "When she gets married, who will be able to suppress me?"

A friend at the same table teased him, "Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that your daughter will never marry outside the family." The man continued to mock him, "But the second wife of the Xie family is really a beauty."

Naturally, these clan members also watched the sacrificial dance. The girl in the red skirt and ghost face left a deep impression on many people.

Xie Jinyuan shrank his neck, thinking of the majesty of the lady in red that night, and still felt a lingering fear. The beauty you mentioned, I was whipped twenty times the next day.

It still hurts when I think about it.

The dishes on Xie Xian's table were finally served, and she invited Xie Minyan to come and eat.

"Sister, the lady from the You family is so unlucky. Her family runs the largest jewelry store in Que County, but she didn't expect to get engaged to someone like this." Xie Minyan kept talking, seeming to be a little hungry.

Xie Xian's heart moved, "The You family? Aren't they locals?" She only knew that the notable aristocratic families in Que County were the old-established families of Xie, Cui, Chen, and Wang, and she didn't know much about the rest of the rising commoner families.

"It is said that the You family moved here from the south. They opened several jewelry stores in the county town. They have some relationship with the eldest lady in the family." Xie Minyan said casually.

The eldest lady, Mrs. Lu, is a wealthy family in the south. Xie Xian thought to herself that the You family = wealthy merchants = rich. The most important thing for her now is to build up connections in the county. What could be more extensive than the connections in a jewelry store?

As a woman, she can't take the open route, but she has an advantage that others can't match. She can take the harem route!

Xie Xian sat up straight, ate, and paid attention to the movements in the private room next door.

Yu Shi was crying bitterly when she suddenly heard the voices of two girls talking next door: "Sister, I don't want to get married! If my husband uses my money and has an affair with me in the future, I will be so angry that I will die!"

"Oh! Then just bear with it!" Another lazy female voice sounded!

"But I don't want to endure it!" the girl continued.

Yu-shi exchanged a glance with her maidservant, her face slightly reddened, and her ears pricked up.

Although she knew it was wrong to listen to others, it was a rare opportunity to meet someone in a similar situation to her, so she couldn't help but become curious.

The lazy female voice continued: "Then give him a beating! If one beating is not enough, then beat him twice! He will eventually be obedient." Xie Xian didn't notice that the tavern became much quieter after she opened her mouth to speak.

Not only the people in Youshi's box heard it, but everyone on Xie Jinyuan's side across the street also fell silent.

As a supporting role, Xie Minyan couldn't continue: "Ahem! Sis, please keep your voice down!"

Everyone in the lobby looked at each other frantically, "Is this the one?"

"You don't know this?"

'sharp!'

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the box. With red eyes, Youshi bowed and said, "Greetings, Second Madam Xie!" There was nothing she could do, she was not deaf. The lady of the Xie family was speaking up for her, whether she was willing or not.

Xie Xian greeted her warmly, "Madam You, come and sit down. Our meeting is fate," and everyone greeted each other.

Looking at the somewhat reserved Madam You in front of her, Xie Xian rolled her eyes and said, "Sisters come out to play, the main thing is to have fun, not happy?" Alas! There are still too few people organizing the party.

She turned her head and said to the quiet box over there: "Xie Jinyuan, get over here!"
