After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

"Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise..."

Murong Qing's voice was filled with fear and dread.

He used his connections to present this blueprint of the improved loom to Eunuch Xu Jiayin of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Eunuch Xu was the godson of Yang Wanli, the eunuch in charge of the weaving bureau. This blueprint was actually a birthday gift prepared for Eunuch Xu.

Because he received news that in the struggle between the two parties in the court, the Prime Minister Li Bangchang's line was defeated and the replacement of rice with mulberry could not be implemented.

Li Bangchang claimed to be ill and was recuperating at home.

Now, the court is ruled by the party led by Lu Fu, the deputy prime minister. The national treasury is empty and disasters have hit various places. They are not prepared to let go of Zhejiang and Nanzhili areas and plan to grow cotton.

of course.

It is not the kind of mandatory order we have now, but rather it is for the government to implement and make recommendations.

The failure of switching from rice to mulberry was not a victory for the people's resistance, but a victory for party struggles. Now, the court has only one voice, which is to switch from rice to cotton, which is the general trend.

The drawings Xie Lingdi gave him were exactly suitable for weaving cotton cloth and could greatly improve efficiency.

He was ecstatic.

If this blueprint caught Yang Wanli's eye, he would give it to his godfather Lu Liang, and if he caught Lu Liang's eye, then he would be extremely lucky.

Lu Liang is the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, commonly known as the Internal Prime Minister, and is Your Majesty's confidant.

but.

The blueprint was leaked.

Today, it is well-known to everyone in Suzhou Prefecture.

It's even possible that the news has reached Xu Jiayin's ears.

Fortunately.

To be on the safe side, he didn't tell anyone in advance.

……

the other side.

Xie Linghe arrived at Xinghua Village.

"It was said that the trip would take ten days, but the return trip was faster by carriage, so we arrived two days earlier. But we were still away for a full eight days. Needless to say, I really miss home."

Gold silver nest nest as their own kennel.

Entered the village.

The villagers greeted her when they saw her: "Are you back?"

"I heard that you went to see Bo Yuan?"

"..."

Xie Linghe responded one by one: "Yes, I'm back."

"Correct."

"..."

Her excuse for leaving this time was to go to the county town to find Xie Boyuan.

……

Push open the courtyard door.

Xie Lingai held Nini in one hand and waved a piece of foxtail grass in her face with the other hand. Nini giggled to show her respect.

heard movement.

Xie Lingai raised her head and saw her, her face suddenly filled with ecstasy: "Sister, you're back!"

Xie Linghe was so frightened when he saw her rushing towards him with Nini in her arms. He quickly ran over and held the two in his arms: "Be careful~"

Xie Lingai held her hand, her eyes red: "Sister, I miss you so much."

"You must take me with you next time."

Xie Linghe was amused and soft-hearted, and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Xie Lingai smiled immediately.

Doorway.

Xie Lingfen was surprised and delighted: "Sister, you're back!"

"How are you these days? I see you've gotten a bit tanned."

Xie Linghe didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, it's just from too much sun, it will turn white in a few days."

"I'm exhausted."

"Sit inside and talk first."

Xie Lingai nodded quickly: "Okay, big sister, I'll help you."

Xie Linghe waved his hand: "No need, just hold Nini tightly."

Xie Lingfen said: "Give Nini to me."

Xie Lingai immediately gave it to her and supported Xie Linghe with both hands: "I can do it."

Xie Linghe shook his head helplessly: "Okay."

Entered the house.

Both of them asked curiously about what had happened in the past few days.

Xie Linghe put aside the details of business and talked about the night market and scenery in Suzhou Prefecture...

The two listened with fascination.

After talking for a while, Xie Linghe thought of the gift he bought and took it out immediately.

Xie Lingai immediately exclaimed:

"Wow!"

"so beautiful!"

Xie Lingfen also widened her eyes.

"Second sister, this gold bracelet is yours."

Xie Lingfen was stunned: "Big sister?"

Xie Linghe smiled and said, "Do you like it? Stretch out your hand and let me try it on for you. It shouldn't be too small."

Xie Lingfen stretched out her hand blankly.

Xie Linghe put it on her, admired it for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction: "It fits perfectly. It looks good."

let go.

She picked up the ruby-encrusted gold hairpin and looked at Xie Lingai with a gentle smile: "This is for Xiaoai."

Xie Lingai's eyes burst with ecstasy: "Thank you, big sister, I like it very, very, very much."

Xie Linghe touched her head.

"nice! You love it."

"Do you want me to help you put it on your head?"

"Uh-huh."

Xie Linghe gently inserted the hairpin into her hair, admiring it carefully and saying sincerely, "This hairpin looks so cute on Xiao Ai's head!"

"is it?"

Xie Lingai raised her hand and stroked the golden hairpin on her head. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. Something occurred to her, and she said, "I'll go check on the water tank!"

Turn around and run.

Xie Linghe shook his head in amusement.

In addition to the four forbidden steps, there is also a longevity lock left.

She picked it up and gently hung it around Nini's neck. She kissed her soft little face and said gently, "Auntie's little darling, grow up healthy and safe."

Xie Lingfen looked at her elder sister and daughter in front of her, touched the bracelet again, her eyes full of happiness.

At this time.

Xie Lingai ran over with a clang of her voice and shouted, "Big sister, second sister, there's a carriage going to Xie Dahe's house!!!"

Xie Linghe looked over, his expression calm: "Come on, it's not the first time a carriage has gone to his house."

Xie Lingfen agreed.

Xie Lingai shook her head vigorously: "It's different!"

"That carriage was huge, pulled by two horses, with a driver and servants. The owner was a very handsome young man, and he came specifically to see Xie Lingdi."

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Lingfen exclaimed in surprise: "Huh?! You said you were looking for that?!"

Xie Linghe's pupils shrank.

Could it be...

"go!"

She stood up suddenly: "I'll go and take a look."

Xie Lingai immediately followed: "Sister, wait for me."

Xie Lingfen also chased after him with her daughter in her arms.

Life is comfortable and she now has the leisure to watch the fun.

……

Xie Dahe's family.

Murong Qing and Xie Lingdi spoke alone.

Xie Lingdi felt very annoyed when she saw the scorching eyes of her parents and third sister.

The two were alone.

She said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you not to expose our relationship in front of my family? Why did you come here without even saying hello?"

Hear the words.

Murong Qing's eyes darkened.

Was it because I was too playful with her that she lost sight of her own place?!

With a look of fear and a hint of complaint on his face, he said, “The improved loom you gave me has an identical blueprint that appeared in Suzhou Prefecture, and all the weaving workshops in Suzhou Prefecture have it.

Fortunately, I knew about it in advance. Otherwise, if I had presented it to Eunuch Xu, I would have been dead."

"By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Lingdi's pupils trembled, and her whole body was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning.

An improved loom exactly like hers appeared in Suzhou Prefecture?!

"How can this be?!"

Absolutely impossible! ! !
