Chapter 223 - 222 Annoyance
Ye Xinyan reflected on the situation at that time. Judging by the intense expression on Jiang Yifan’s face when he examined the ore cart and tracks, he must have thought of something, but she couldn’t grasp the key point.
Ye Xinyan tried hard to recall any track-related information from her memory. In her memory, the things most closely associated with tracks seemed to be only electric trains, subways, and railways. If pushed further back, there would be the steam engine, which seemed to have applications in mining tunnels. But under the conditions of this particular era, it was impossible to use these technologies. Even the mining areas that could utilize tunnels had highly modernized shafts, which would not appear in an era of such low productivity.
Being a person born and bred in ancient times, Jiang Yifan wouldn’t have such thoughts. It wasn’t that he wasn’t intelligent or lacked imagination, but his imagination was constrained by the era and environment in which he grew up.
When Ye Xinyan received the invitation, her thought was that Jinrong was up to some new mischief. Meanwhile, Anshun’s household member, who had temporarily settled in a farmer’s home in Clear Water Village and started to attend to Lady Qi closely, almost dropped her jaw when she saw the gilt invitation from the county government office.
Was this the invitation sent by Jiang Yifan, who had once been impatient with and extremely loathed Miss Ye? Although she hadn’t seen the content, she could tell from the invitation’s elegance and seriousness that Lord Jiang was formally inviting Miss Ye to his home. Could it really be for an important discussion?
But what important matter could the county head and Miss Ye possibly have to discuss?
Rubbing her forehead in confusion, Anshun’s household member thought that Miss Ye did seem somewhat different from the past, but Lord Jiang had been tormented for three whole years. Could he really have forgotten the past so quickly?
Ye Xinyan casually tossed the invitation to Bi Ning, "Put it in the inner room." She didn’t take it too seriously – once she would go tomorrow, she would naturally understand what it was all about. It was no use thinking more about it now.
