Chapter 344 Guessing Xie Xiu
Chapter 344 Guessing Xie Xiu
The sudden cruel truth made Jia Xuan depressed.
From top to bottom, almost no one in the Jia family smiled.
Even when the New Year was approaching, the servants did not dare to laugh, for fear of angering their masters and being found guilty.
Other people in the capital were not affected.
In particular, a new announcement in the mine made all the workers happy and excited.
Because this announcement said that in order to thank everyone for their hard work, the boss decided to give each employee a New Year gift before the New Year!
The workers, who had just come out of the mine exhausted after a long day of toil, roared with joy upon hearing the good news.
"Ah——Boss Renyi——"
"Oh my God! Is this true? The boss wants to give us a New Year's gift? Ahhhhhh——"
"Do you know what the New Year gifts include? What? Rice, flour, grain, and oil? Meat and cloth? Are there really such goodies?"
"The boss actually wants to give us these New Year gifts? I thought they were going to give us honeycomb coal and a coal stove. Oh my god, the boss is such a good person!"
The miners' shouts could be heard from far away. When the patrol team heard them, they did not go over and scold them. Instead, they all smiled.
They also looked stupid when they heard the news.
You can’t blame everyone for being so happy, the boss is just so kind!
They have never seen such a good boss.
I heard that there was an imperial censor who impeached the princess for competing with the people for profit. Bah! What a bullshit!
Where could one find such a good boss as the eldest princess? Instead of impeaching corrupt officials, those imperial censors had the audacity to impeach the eldest princess.
Everyone said that the damn censor must have accepted bribes from the coal merchants and wanted to destroy their mines!
If that man hadn't been in jail, the brothers would all want to teach this corrupt official a lesson.
Wang Ada and his neighbor went to the bathhouse to take a bath first, and then went home together.
Because it was cold, they didn't dare wash their hair and only washed their bodies.
Otherwise, even if there is a special drying room in the bathhouse to dry your hair, you will still easily catch a cold on the way back.
In cold weather, it takes longer to dry your hair completely.
They all wanted to go home early and didn't have time to take their time, so they didn't wash their hair and would wash it when they got home.
Now that we have a coal stove at home, it is convenient to boil water.
The two men had worked all day and were already tired and hungry, but when they thought of their relatives waiting for them at home, they felt full of strength and walked very fast.
The neighbor, Liu Dong, was preoccupied with the mine's announcement. He couldn't help but whisper to Wang Ada, "Brother Wang, the announcement also said they would select ten outstanding employees and give them rewards. Who do you think will be chosen?"
Wang Ada smiled and said, "This matter probably has little to do with us. Let's not think about it anymore. It's better to think about those New Year gifts."
Liu Dong curled his lips and said, "That's true. Even if this kind of good thing doesn't choose those in charge, it will definitely go to those with connections. What does it have to do with us?"
Thinking of the New Year gifts, he couldn't help laughing again: "But the boss is really generous. He actually gave us New Year gifts."
Wang Ada said with emotion: "The boss has always been generous. It is our blessing to be able to work for him."
Liu Dong laughed and said, "That's right, I never thought there would be such a boss in the world.
I heard that the eldest princess wasn't this generous before, I don't know why she suddenly changed."
He suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think it's possible that the princess asked the gods and Buddhas to bless the young prince, so after the young prince recovered, the princess decided to fulfill her wish?"
Wang Ada narrowed his eyes and said, "I think the problem lies with Xie Jieyuan.
The second son of the Jiang family used to be a playboy, but look at him now? He's doing serious things.
It's probably because he became friends with Xie Jieyuan that he became what he is now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong quickly added, "I remember now! I heard that Jiang Er bought that piece of land because of Xie Jieyuan! He wanted to grow medicinal herbs with Xie Jieyuan!"
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and suddenly asked in surprise, "Do you doubt that the truly righteous person is Xie Jieyuan?
But how could the Princess and Jiang Er, with their status, listen to Xie Jieyuan's wishes?"
Wang Ada quickly said, "Of course I didn't obey. I just thought that Xie Jieyuan might have brought it up and convinced those two.
Those civil servants are very cunning. Since Xie Xiu was able to pass the imperial examination, he must be a powerful person.
Just like the strategists in those stories, they plan their strategies from within the tent and win battles thousands of miles away.”
Liu Dong immediately admired him: "He is really amazing! He even gave birth to a lucky little girl. His luck is so good that it makes people jealous!
You said that the land was in the hands of the Chen family, and no coal was found underground for so many years. But just a few days after Xie Jieyuan bought it, coal was dug out of the land.
Who wouldn't be jealous of this luck? It's a good thing the Chen family died, otherwise if they knew this news, they would probably die of anger! "
Wang Ada quickly warned: "Don't say these things, be careful not to let anyone hear them."
Liu Dong quickly covered his mouth and dared not mention it again.
Wang Ada didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked very fast, but Wang Ada suddenly remembered the Prince Chen who was on the run.
That man lost everything and was like a stray dog. If he knew about the coal mine, would he be willing to accept it?
Don't have any bad thoughts and cause trouble in the mine.
The more Wang Ada thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that when he arrived at the mine tomorrow, he would have a good talk with his brothers. As the New Year was approaching, they must be more vigilant to prevent any trouble from happening.
So when he arrived at the mine the next day, he immediately told the other members of the patrol team about it.
After hearing this, everyone felt that what he said made sense, so they increased their patrols and looked at people more sharply.
They are also looking forward to the New Year's goods and are very grateful to the mine owner. They don't want anything to happen to the mine more than anyone else.
Otherwise, without this job, they would be in danger of losing their future.
Just as the patrol team was stepping up their vigilance, Situ Yuan went to find Xie Ying again.
Ever since the glass factory became busy, he asked Taihedi for leave, saying that he wanted to take care of the glass factory's affairs.
Emperor Taihe agreed very readily.
However, although Situ Yuan did not have to go to the palace to attend classes, Xie Tang, his study companion, had to continue going, and he still rode in the carriage of the Princess's Mansion.
Because of this, Xie Tang, Yang Tao and Jiang Yao complained a lot. They were very dissatisfied with Situ Yuan's truancy and felt that he was particularly disloyal.
It was Situ Yuan who said that he had taken leave this time to prepare gifts for the three of them. Only then did the three of them calm down and start looking forward to Situ Yuan's gifts.
After taking leave, Situ Yuan spent most of his time in the glass factory, just to make what he wanted as quickly as possible.
That day, what he wanted was finally made, so he immediately took the sample to find Xie Ying.
He was sure that Xie Ying would be very happy if she saw the thing.
That guy is a huge money-grubber!
