Chapter 649: I have a foundation.

After washing, Song Jin picked up Shen Xia, wiped her clean, and dressed her.

Shen Xia originally planned to go to the princess mother's place after waking up from a nap, but now she is too tired, so she will rest for a while and go there later.

The two of them lay quietly on the bed.

"Third brother, are you going to the factory tomorrow?"

Song Jin gently pinched Shen Xia's little face: "You are such a heartless little thing. I didn't serve you well just now, and you want me to leave so soon."

Shen Xia shook her head: "How could that be! I wish my third brother was at home every day, otherwise I would only see him once every few days."

Song Jin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "You still have a conscience. I thought you had other brothers and didn't miss the third brother."

"Am I that kind of person?" Shen Xia asked angrily.

"Okay, our Xia Xia is not that kind of person. Xia Xia, do you have anything to say to me?"

Shen Xia looked up at Song Jin's jawline and said, "Third brother, I'm now teaching in Xiaowu's academy. I think it's pretty good, but I really don't like the time in this era, so I'm thinking, should I open a watch shop and specialize in selling watches? This thing is very practical."

Song Jin thought about it and realized that there was a clock made of wood in the main hall in the front yard of the old house.

Shen Xia taught them how to tell time, but they had to adjust it every once in a while.

Because that time was too accurate, there is a discrepancy between it and the current time, and this time is based on the time of this era.

So you need to adjust it frequently.

Song Jin nodded: "Sure! I've taught Bi Yi everything about the factory. I'll go look for a store, buy one, and then open the business."

"Well, when the time comes, just say that the goods are imported from foreign countries." Seeing Song Jin nod, Shen Xia suggested how to explain the source of the goods.

"can."

The two of them discussed the feasibility of this matter and what to do on the bed.

Then the two of them agreed that Song Jin would be responsible for finding a shop for decoration, while Shen Xia would be responsible for drawing the blueprints of the clock and then hiring a carpenter to do the work.

Just add a little clock movement.

There is also a small alarm clock.

What about watches?

I didn’t take out more of them before because I thought they were so special.

Every time he said that it was brought back by his third brother from other places.

There was only one in front of Shen Xia's bed.

Shen Xia usually looks at the time.

If it becomes popular in the future, I can give each of them a pocket watch. I wonder if they will look good in a wristwatch?

After the discussion, they asked Song Jincai to find a master with good skills.

The two of them rested in bed for half an hour before getting up.

"Third brother, I'm going to go to the princess mother's place. I guess you haven't seen her since you came back. Go see her first!"

Song Jin nodded: "Okay! You have to come back for dinner tonight!"

Shen Xia thought for a moment: "You don't have to wait for me for dinner. I'll go to dinner with Su Yao tonight."

Song Jin was puzzled: "Let's just eat together!"

Seeing Song Jin's confusion, Shen Xia said, "Ayao is not feeling well, so I will go to have dinner with her today and accompany you guys tomorrow."

When Song Jin heard Shen Xia say this, he didn't say anything else.

I heard before that the fourth brother was planning to find a husband for Miss Su.

Because he always pesters Xia Xia, it now seems that Lao Si's idea is correct.

But why is there no response now?

In fact, as to why Song Yun did not respond, it was because he saw that Su Yao no longer pestered Shen Xia, so he put the matter behind him.

Shen Xia left her own courtyard and walked towards the eldest princess.

There are guards at the archways in the middle of the courtyard.

Shen Xia looked at the guard: "Is mother in the front yard or the back yard?"

The person guarding this place can see the gardens on both sides.

So if you focus, you will still know whether the owner is in the front yard or the back yard.

The guard saluted and said, "My lord, the eldest princess is in the front yard."

Shen Xia nodded: "Okay."

Shen Xia took Jixiang Ruyi to the front yard.

When Shen Xia arrived at the front yard, she saw the princess playing with her children.

The three little ones looked at Shen Xia.

They ran over one by one, hugged Shen Xia's thighs and said in unison: "Mother......."

The three little ones’ cute voices are so nice to hear.

Shen Xia played with the three kids for a while and said, "Your third dad is back, go find him!"

The three little ones nodded: "Okay!"

Shen Xia saw the servants taking the three little ones out.

Shen Xia went to sit next to the eldest princess.

Looking at the two maids beside my mother.

The two maids understood and went out.

Jixiangru saw that the maids beside the eldest princess had gone out, so they also went out.

Shen Xia gently picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip.

"Mother, I seem to be in trouble."

The princess smiled and said, "It's okay. I haven't been going out in these years. Yang Xiyun is really getting more and more arrogant. She relies on having a daughter of a noble concubine and takes people less and less seriously."

Shen Xia murmured, "Isn't mother worried that I'll get into trouble?"

The princess chuckled: "You, don't I understand you? You are always polite even to your own servants, and never trample on them. If you can't tolerate it, it must be that the other party is too much."

Shen Xia raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Mother, why do you trust me so much?"

"How could my daughter, Gu Xi, be so bad!"

Shen Xia smiled and said, "What if I take after my father?"

"That won't be any worse."

"whee........"

"But you must bring guards with you whenever you go out, understand? Madam Qin is not a good person. I'm afraid there is only one Qin Shaoyuan in their Qin family who is a little simpler."

Shen Xia listened to the princess' words and nodded: "Okay! I understand."

"Qin Shaoyuan has an older brother, Qin Shaochuan, who is the commander of the defense camp outside the city. But Qin Shaochuan is also a very smart man. If Qin Han has an army of 400,000, the 20,000 defenders in the defense camp of the capital city would never be in Qin Shaochuan's hands. But he stepped up to that position step by step. I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking." The eldest princess talked about the Qin family.

Shen Xia listened carefully.

It seems that the eldest young master of the Qin family is also a person of outstanding abilities.

He actually built up a career under his father's guidance.

Generally speaking, in a situation like this, the commander of the capital's defense camp must be the emperor's own man!

Now it seems that she doesn’t understand why Gu Yichen would make such arrangements.

You said he was not on guard, but based on past events, it seemed like he was worried about the princess.

But you said he was on guard, and the Fangcheng Camp was actually commanded by Qin Shaochuan.

In this situation, we should definitely support a person without any background to be our own man and lead the people in Fangchengying.

The 20,000 soldiers in the capital's defense camp are designed to quell civil unrest in a timely manner if it occurs.

So this leadership is crucial.

Shen Xia now thinks about the Qin family. No wonder Mrs. Qin is so domineering. She has a strong foundation.

This is much stronger than Princess Rui's strength.
