"What brings Li Baozhu here?"
After seeing the child, Helian Jue came to visit Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan hadn't taken a bath in almost a month. In the hot and humid weather of Lingnan, she felt like a salted fish that had been pickled for several years.
There was a strange smell coming from inside.
Xie Yuan was very insistent and refused to see anyone except his maids. Li Baozhu was allowed to enter the room, while Helian Jue continued to stand outside the window.
Cough cough, the room smells too.
Helian Jue is a germaphobe, but he and Xie Yuan have a deep and loving relationship, so he probably wouldn't mind.
However, Xie Yuan did not want to give Helian Jue any chance to "dislike" him.
So let's not meet for now.
Chatting through the window is quite nice.
"She heard that I had a baby and came to congratulate me."
Xie Yuan said with a smile.
"Congratulations? Where's the gift? I haven't seen it."
Helian Jue discovered that Li Baozhu, this little girl, seemed to have a special fondness for his princess.
Hmph, she looked at her own princess with exceptionally bright eyes.
A wife who is too beautiful and too outstanding is bound to attract unwanted attention.
Men are one thing, but why are women so "unreserved" these days?
There was Li Baozhu, and there was also Princess Xu.
These two women, every time they come to the Prince's mansion, their eyes are only on Xie Yuan!
Helian Jue was not a narcissistic person.
His looks, talent, and status are all there; any normal woman would be captivated by him.
For example, Zhao Jinxiu, and Li Lizhi in the past, both fell in love with Helian Jue at first sight and tried their best to please him.
This is a normal reaction from a woman.
Unlike Li Baozhu and Princess Xu, tsk tsk, they don't even glance at Helian Jue, yet they keep calling him "Sister A Yuan".
Helian Jue had long harbored resentment.
Xie Yuan: ...You get jealous of women too?
Suppressing a laugh, Xie Yuan said, "I gave it to her! Baozhu really gave me a big gift."
As Xie Yuan spoke, he instructed Ruyi to take the piece of natural latex out for Helian Jue to inspect.
"This is--"
Helian Jue looked at it, coughed, and said he didn't recognize it.
"Latex! It's the natural latex that flows from rubber trees."
"This thing is very useful!"
Tires, sealing rings, pistons... they may not be very conspicuous, but they are ubiquitous in industrialized life.
"..."
Helian Jue listened to Xie Yuan's eloquent explanation, his gaze becoming somewhat fervent.
"I have another idea, we can try it with rubber."
Xie Yuan said softly again.
Rubber can be made into elastic tarpaulins, so could it be used to make extra-large "Kongming lanterns"?
These can all be experimented with gradually.
With raw materials and ideas, perhaps we can replicate what we've imagined!
"Since it's useful, let Li Baozhu get more of it!"
Helian Jue waved his hand, signaling Ruyi to take the latex away.
He didn't know any of these things.
But he believed in Xie Yuan.
Ah Yuan will never let him down; he always brings surprises!
"By the way, I want Schelling to go to the shipyard."
Helian Jue suddenly thought of something and said it to Xie Yuan.
"The shipyard? Good! Let him go take a look."
Xie Yuan nodded.
The shipyard was an important part of Xie Yuan's business empire.
After learning about Xie Lin's situation, Xie Yuan's need for the treasure ship became even more urgent.
She wanted Schelling to travel on a treasure ship and open up a "Silk Road" at sea.
During this period, it is hurricane season, and according to custom, the wealthy families of Yuezhou all go inland to avoid the storms.
Helian Jue and Xie Yuan were busy with disaster relief and recruiting talented people who had been exiled to Lingnan.
Xie Yuan also gave birth and went through postpartum confinement.
Therefore, the Yue King's Palace was exceptionally busy.
They maintained a relatively stable relationship with the powerful clans.
Besides friction, there is also cooperation between the two sides.
The shipyard was a joint project between the two parties.
Xie Yuan provided the blueprints for the treasure ship, while the powerful clans provided the raw materials, skilled shipbuilders, and nautical charts of the nearby waters.
In the past few months, everyone at the Treasure Shipyard has been working hard to build the Treasure Ship.
However, Xie Yuan knew that the relationship between the Yue King's Mansion and the local powerful families could not remain so "harmonious" forever.
There must have been influence of powerful families within the shipyard as well.
Xie Yuan, however, was somewhat overwhelmed with other matters.
Schelling was a business genius, so he probably wasn't bad at management either.
We can let him go to the shipyard to oversee things first, so that the spies planted by the powerful families won't cause any trouble.
"Maybe I should go see him!"
Xie Yuan trusted Helian Jue's judgment.
However, Xie Lin's surname was Xie, and Helian Jue promoted and gave him important responsibilities because of this "Xie" character.
Helian Jue's words were somewhat influenced by personal feelings.
Xie Yuan didn't want to bring an unreliable person over because of his nepotism.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to see anyone?"
Helian Jue's words were filled with deep resentment.
He hadn't seen A Yuan for a month.
A-Yuan knew he was a clean freak and didn't want him to see dirty scenes.
But he also missed A-Yuan.
He can endure it all for A-Yuan.
As a result, A-Yuan still disagreed.
Hmph, even Li Baozhu can come inside, but he, as her rightful husband, can only peer out the window.
Now there's Xie Lin, and A Yuan still wants to "see" him.
Helian Jue was filled with jealousy, and Xie Yuan could smell it even through the window.
Xie Yuan: ...
