"Why don't you go to the palace and ask your Majesty to pick someone?" Qi Zhiyuan thought that your Majesty must know which young men from aristocratic families in the capital are outstanding.
Zhou Mu felt that this matter should be taken care of sooner rather than later: "Forget it, you go to the palace now to find my father to ask for someone."
Qi Zhiyuan looked at the increasingly heavy rain outside the house, and immediately grimaced. What bad idea did he come up with?
He changed into a eunuch to serve him, then took his umbrella, when he saw Nanny Yin coming over: "It's raining so hard, you want to go out again?"
"The young master is worried about Miss Gu's marriage, so he asked me to go to the palace to ask for a list of young talents from His Majesty."
Hearing Qi Zhiyuan's words, Aunt Yin sighed sadly: "I thought the young master was really enlightened, but it's a pity. Yes, have you seen that Miss Gu today? How is her character?"
Qi Zhiyuan thought of Gu Xiyan's outstanding face and stretched out his thumb: "The appearance is very good, the temperament is also very good, and he is a perfect match for the young master. I won't say it anymore, it's boring, the young master has nothing to do with Miss Gu.
That thought."
Aunt Yin also felt it was a pity and told Qi Zhiyuan to go early and come back early, and then went to do her own thing.
From now on, the young master will officially take root in the capital, and he will not return until he returns to Fallen Immortal Temple. This is what His Majesty has specifically stated.
Your Majesty wants to see the young master get married and start a career, and be exposed to more of the fireworks of the world, but...
Nanny Yin looked at Young Master Ruyu who looked like a banished immortal beside the desk, and thought to herself, who could have the ability to drag this young master into the world of mortals?
The words are divided into two parts, Qiankun Palace.
After Emperor Cheng De heard Qi Zhiyuan's intention, his good mood disappeared.
He was so happy that he thought his son was finally enlightened, but he was actually making a wedding dress for someone else.
Qi Zhiyuan knew that the emperor was displeased, so when he made his intention clear, he was careful not to say a word, lest His Majesty would displease him.
"Do you know why Zimo is so concerned about Gu's marriage?" Emperor Chengde was still unwilling.
It’s not easy for a girl to get closer to her son. This shouldn’t be the result.
"I don't know about my humble position. But today I met Miss Gu in my humble position. She is really like a human being made of jade, like a fairy. She is a perfect match to stand with the young master——"
"Okay, what's the use of talking about this? No matter how good she is, she is someone else's wife." Emperor Chengde thought to himself that if Zimo really had thoughts about Gu Xiyan, he would not help Gu Xiyan as a matchmaker.
He originally wanted to go to Sunrise Palace and see Gu Xiyan's appearance with his own eyes, but now a basin of cold water was poured on him, completely waking him up.
That night, Gu Xiyan hurried back to Xiyuan. A large area of her skirt was already wet. She changed into a dry dress. She was about to close the window when she saw a large area of the osmanthus in the courtyard had fallen due to the wind and rain.
, it looks a bit desolate.
Only the lingering fragrance of osmanthus blows into the nose through the autumn wind, faintly, if there is it, it seems not there.
"It's windy and rainy, girl, be careful." Chunhua stepped forward and closed the window tightly.
At this time, Qiushi came over and joked: "Are you thinking about Mr. Zhou just now? I am so old, I have seen many young men, but I have never seen a better-looking man than Mr. Zhou, His Highness the King of Qin.
It’s even better looking.”
Chunhua was a little curious after hearing this: "Who is Mr. Zhou?"
Qiushi told about meeting Zhou Mu on the street today. As for the relationship between Zhou Mu and her girl, she didn’t know.
Gu Xiyan listened to the chattering of the two girls and felt that she was looking forward to such a peaceful and simple life.
In the evening, they casually ate in while Gu Xiyan continued to read the account books.
It was a busy day again, and I finally finished reading the account books of several shops.
She had no extra spare money, so she decided to sell the unprofitable fragrant powder shop. In addition, there was also a roasted seed shop that was also sold.
In this way, she can do things easily if she has cash in hand.
In the next few days, Gu Xiyan went out of the house every day. She sold her roasted seeds and nuts shop and fragrant powder shop, and finally had some spare money.
Then she bought a carriage by herself and hired a smart and capable boy named Luo Bin who would help her run errands.
It was a clear and sunny day, and Gu Xiyan and Su Mei met secretly again in Jixiang Building.
"You want me to secretly buy a large amount of charcoal from now on?" Su Mei was a little surprised.
"Don't make it public and buy it secretly. Your father and the Su family are also hiding it. Find a reliable person to handle this matter. The more you can collect, the better." Gu Xiyan was worried that the walls had ears, so she deliberately lowered her voice: "That's right.
, I bought all the silver frost charcoal. If there is no silver frost charcoal, charcoal is also possible."
Although guests on the third floor were not allowed to come up, she still had to be careful.
"But it's not winter yet, why should I buy silver frost charcoal? Furthermore, if my father doesn't know, where will I get the money to buy silver frost charcoal?" Su Mei said indifferently, wondering what Gu Xiyan was selling in the gourd.
What kind of medicine.
"I just recently sold two shops and made an advance payment from the bank. The money is enough. You have to pay close attention to this matter. The errand boy must be loyal to you and no one else can know about it.
, especially not letting your Su family know." Gu Xiyan said sternly.
"But why buy Yin Shuang Tan? I still can't figure it out." Su Mei looked at Gu Xiyan eagerly, hoping that she could solve her doubts.
Gu Xiyan smiled slightly: "Just do as you do, and soon we will make our first pot of gold. I won't make fun of my own money."
When Su Mei saw that she was lying, she didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Su Mei began to quietly buy silver frost charcoal and charcoal in the market, and did not stop until all the available money was spent.
Soon Su Mei discovered that Su Ho and her father were suddenly buying charcoal, but there were only some low-quality charcoal left on the market, and there was no sign of Yinshuang charcoal.
The day after Soho started buying charcoal, news suddenly came out in the city that this year would be a severe winter.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital. For a while, everyone was busy buying charcoal in advance, but the charcoal on the market had been sold out a few days ago.
People in the city want to buy winter clothes, but because the clothing stores have not yet had time to stock up, there is no ready stock.
It was at this time that Gu Xiyan found a reliable person to pretend to be a businessman named Li from outside the city, and pretended to be transporting a batch of high-quality silver frost charcoal and charcoal from outside the city.
Because of the rare commodity, all the charcoal they had purchased was sold out in one day, and the price they sold for it was ten or dozens of times the price she paid for it!
Of course, ordinary people cannot afford such high-priced charcoal, so it is all divided up by big families.
In other words, this time they used only a few thousand taels of silver to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Once this matter spread, it became a hot topic in the capital, and it became a blockbuster!
As soon as the news of the skyrocketing price of charcoal came out, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Maidong, the Minister of Household Affairs, immediately reported the matter to Emperor Chengde.
Emperor Cheng De intended to cultivate Zhou Mu, so he handed the matter over to Zhou Mu for secret investigation.
