"Why would my subordinates go to the palace and ask Your Majesty to pick people?" Qi Zhiyuan thought that Your Majesty must know which noble families in the capital are better.

Zhou Mu felt that this matter was not too late: "Well, you go to the palace now to ask for someone from my father."

Qi Zhiyuan looked at the rain that was getting more and more urgent outside the house, and suddenly felt bitter. He saw what bad idea he had come up with?

He changed into eunuch service, took the umbrella, and saw Madam Yin coming over: "It's raining so heavily, are you going out again?"

"The young master was worried about Miss Gu's marriage and asked me to go to the palace to find the list of young talents for His Majesty."

After hearing Qi Zhiyuan's words, Madam Yin sighed mournfully: "I thought the young master was really enlightened, but it's a pity. Yes, have you seen that Miss Gu today? What's your character?"

Qi Zhiyuan remembered Gu Xiyan's outstanding face and stretched out his thumb: "The appearance is good, the temperament is also excellent, and it is very compatible with the young master. Let's not talk about it, it's boring. The young master has no intention of Miss Gu."

Madam Yin also felt a pity and told Qi Zhiyuan to go and go back early, so she went to work hard.

From now on, the young master will officially take root in the capital. If you can do it, you will not return if you can. This is what Your Majesty specifically told me.

Your Majesty wants to see the young master start a family and start a career, and be more exposed to the atmosphere of human fireworks, but...

Madam Yin looked at the Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Yu-Y

The words are divided into two ends, Qiankun Palace.

Emperor Chengde heard Qi Zhiyuan's intention to come, and his good mood was gone.

He was so happy that he thought his son had finally gotten enlightened, but he knew that he was making wedding dresses for others.

Qi Zhiyuan knew that the emperor was unhappy, so he explained his intention and refused to say anything to him, so as not to let His Majesty overthrow him.

"Do you know why I am so concerned about Gu's marriage?" Emperor Chengde was still unwilling to give up.

Finally, a girl could get closer to her son, so this shouldn't be the result.

"I don't know. But today I met Miss Gu. He was really a jade-made person, like a fairy, and he was like a young master. He stood with the young master.

"Okay, what's the use of saying this? No matter how good it is, he is someone else's wife." Emperor Chengde thought to himself, if Zi Mo really wants to have an idea about Gu Xiyan, he will not help Gu Xiyan as a matchmaker.

He originally wanted to go out to the palace to see Gu Xiyan's appearance with his own eyes. Now a basin of cold water has been poured down to make him completely awake.

On that side, Gu Xiyan hurried back to Xiyuan. The corner of her skirt was already wet. She changed into a dry dress and was about to close the window, but she caught a glimpse of the osmanthus flowers in the yard falling by the wind and rain, and looked a little desolate.

Only the fragrance of osmanthus blows into the nose through the autumn wind, faintly, as if there is, as if there is nothing.

"It's strong wind and rain, girl, be careful." Chunhua stepped forward and closed the window.

At this time, Qiushi came over and joked: "Are the girl thinking about that young master Zhou just now? I have grown up so old, and I have seen many young masters, but I have never seen that young master Zhou who is better-looking than His Royal Highness of Qin."

Chunhua was a little curious when he heard this: "Which Mr. Zhou?"

Qiushi told me about meeting Zhou Mu on the street today. As for what kind of relationship Zhou Mu has with her girl, she doesn't know.

Gu Xiyan listened to the two girls chattering, and felt that such a peaceful and simple life was very promising.

After eating at night, Gu Xiyan continued to read the account book.

It was busy again that day, and I finally finished reading the account books of several shops.

She had no extra money in her hands and decided to tray the unprofitable fragrant powder shop. In addition, there was a roasted shop that was sold.

In this way, she can do things easily with cash.

In the next few days, Gu Xiyan left the house every day. She sold roasted goods shops and fragrant powder shops one after another, and finally had spare money in her hands.

Then she bought a carriage herself and then hired a smart and capable servant named Luo Bin, who would help her run errands later.

The day is clear and the air is clear, Gu Xiyan and Su Mei secretly met each other in Jixianglou again.

"You want me to quietly buy a large amount of charcoal from now on?" Su Mei was a little surprised.

"Don't make a statement, buy it secretly, your father and the Su family are also hiding it. You can find a reliable person to do this, the more you collect, the better." Gu Xiyan was worried that there was an ear to the wall, so she lowered her voice: "By the way, I bought all the silver frost charcoal. If there is really no silver frost charcoal, charcoal can be feasible."

Although the guests on the third floor cannot come up, she still has to be careful.

"But winter is not yet in this time, why should I buy silver frost charcoal? Besides, if my father doesn't know, where did I get the money to buy silver frost charcoal?" Su Mei said reluctantly, unable to understand what Gu Xiyan sold in the gourd.

"I have just sold two shops recently and paid a sum of money in the money shop. The money is enough. You have to hurry up. The guy who runs errands must be loyal to you. No one else can know about it, especially the Su family." Gu Xiyan said seriously.

"But why do you want to buy silver frost charcoal? I still can't figure it out." Su Mei looked at Gu Xiyan with a gaze, hoping that she could solve her doubts.

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly: "Just do whatever you want, we will soon make our first pot of gold. I won't joke with my own money."

Seeing that she was kept in hiding, Su Mei didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Su Mei began to quietly buy silver frost charcoal and charcoal on the market, and stopped until all the money they could use was spent.

Su Mei soon discovered that Su He and his father were suddenly buying charcoal, but there were only some inferior charcoal left on the market, and the shadow of silver frost charcoal was not visible.

Just the day after Su He started buying charcoal, a news suddenly came out of the city saying that this year will be the winter of the Great Cold.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital. For a moment, everyone was busy buying charcoal in advance, but the charcoal on the market sold almost a few days ago.

The people in the city wanted to buy winter clothes, but because the garment shops had not had time to reserve, there was no stock.

It was at this time that Gu Xiyan found a reliable person to play the role of the foreign merchant named Li, who pretended to transport a batch of high-quality silver frost charcoal and charcoal from outside the city.

Because the rare goods are so rare, the charcoal they bought before was snatched up in one day, and the price they sold ranged from ten times or dozens of times the price she bought back!

Of course, most people can’t afford such high-priced charcoal, and they are all divided up by wealthy families.

In other words, this time they earned tens of thousands of taels of silver this time.

Once this incident spread, it was a sensation in the capital, and it was a stunning success!

As soon as the news of the surge in charcoal prices came out, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Mai Ophiopogon japonicus reported the matter to Emperor Chengde as soon as possible.

Emperor Chengde intended to train Zhou Mu, so he handed the matter over to Zhou Mu to investigate secretly.
