She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Jiang Yifan pushed aside those annoying thoughts and changed the subject to discuss serious matters, "In fact, it’s quite good for the Sixth Master to go back for a bit. He can check on the status of the railway construction in the capital and see where the holdups are. The sooner the railway carriage is operational, the earlier we can move on the next steps in transport."

Jinrong snorted, "Where else could the work be held up? They’re all just following the usual order of doing things, being cautious and deliberative, delaying everything by fussing over minor details. Anyway, the two sections I purchased are completed. If necessary, I can bring a couple of engineers back with me to see if we can get at least my section of the route up and running."

Jiang Yifan nodded in agreement, "That could indeed be a solution. If the railway carriage starts generating income, the merchants involved in the other sections will naturally become anxious. Besides, starting earlier means seeing results sooner, which is better than it sitting idle."

As they talked, Shi Yu came in to add water, signaling for Hongzhi to step out. Hongzhi left the room.

Jiang Yifan asked, "What’s the matter?"

Shi Yu replied, "Someone from the Sixth Master’s home brought a message, informing Hongzhi that he needs to return to the village."

Jiang Yifan looked at Jinrong, who said, "Let them in."

The messenger was from Clear Water Village, stopping by the county office on other business, bringing a message along: "This morning, someone from the capital came, a messenger from Duke An’s Mansion, delivering a message for Nanny Jin to return to Duke An’s Mansion before the New Year, to await further inquiries."
