On the day the scumbag got married, I lay flat and became his sister-in-law

Chapter 17 A Blockbuster!
"Why don't you go to the palace and ask your majesty to pick someone?" Qi Zhiyuan thought that his majesty must know which princes from aristocratic families in the capital are more outstanding.

Zhou Mu felt that it was not too late for this matter: "Forget it, you go to the palace now to find my father's important person."

Qi Zhiyuan looked at the increasingly heavy rain outside the house, and immediately had a bitter face, what bad idea did he come up with?

He put on the eunuch's service, took the umbrella, and saw Mother Yin walking over: "It's raining so hard, you want to go out again?"

"The young master was worried about Miss Gu's marriage, so he asked me to go to the palace to ask His Majesty for a list of young talents."

Hearing Qi Zhiyuan's words, Yin Nanny sighed sadly: "I thought the young master had really opened his eyes, but it's a pity. Yes, you met that Miss Gu today? How is his character?"

Qi Zhiyuan thought of Gu Xiyan's outstanding face, and stretched out his thumb: "The appearance is very good, and the temperament is also very good, and it is very suitable to stand with the young master. Don't talk about it, it's boring, the young master is not interested in Miss Gu." That thought."

Nanny Yin also felt that it was a pity, and told Qi Zhiyuan to go back early and go about her own business.

From now on, the young master will officially take root in the capital, and if you don't return to the Fallen Immortal Temple, you won't return, this is His Majesty's special confession.

Your Majesty wants to see the young master get married and establish a career, and be more tainted with the smell of fireworks in the world, but...

Nanny Yin looked at Mr. Ruyu who looked like a banished fairy beside the desk, and thought to herself, who could have such ability to pull him into the world of mortals?
The words are divided into two ends, Qiankun Palace.

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

It made him happy in vain, thinking that his son had finally enlightened, but who knew he was actually making a wedding dress for someone else.

Qi Zhiyuan knew that the emperor was not happy, so when he explained the reason for his visit, he cautiously kept silent, lest His Majesty send him off.

"Do you know why Zimo cares so much about Gu's marriage?" Emperor Chengde was still unwilling.

After all, there was a girl who was able to get closer to her son, and this shouldn't be the result.

"Cao Min doesn't know. But today Cao Min saw that Miss Gu, she was really a person made of jade, like a fairy, and standing with the young master is a perfect match—"

"Okay, what's the use of talking about it? No matter how good it is, it's someone else's daughter-in-law." Emperor Cheng De thought to himself, if Zi Mo really had thoughts about Gu Xiyan, he wouldn't be a matchmaker for Gu Xiyan.

He originally wanted to come to the Sunrise Palace to see Gu Xiyan's appearance with his own eyes, but now a basin of cold water was poured down on him, completely waking him up.

That night, Gu Xiyan hurried back to Xiyuan, her skirt was already wet a lot, she changed into a dry dress, and was about to close the window, when she caught a glimpse of the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard that had been blown by the wind and rain, and a large piece of it had fallen. , looked a little bleak.

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

"It's windy and rainy, girl be careful." Chunhua stepped forward and closed the window tightly.

At this time, Qiushi came over and joked: "Miss, are you thinking about that Mr. Zhou just now? I have seen many young masters since I was so big, but I have never seen a man who is more handsome than Mr. Qin. Even better."

Chunhua was a little curious after hearing this: "Which Mr. Zhou?"

Qiushi told about meeting Zhou Mu on the street today, but she didn't know what kind of relationship Zhou Mu had with her girl.

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

After eating casually in the evening, Gu Xiyan continued to look at the account books.

It was a busy day again, and I finally read the account books of several shops.

She didn't have any spare money, so she decided to sell the unprofitable incense powder shop.In addition, there is also a roasted seeds and nuts shop that has also been sold.

In this way, she has cash in her hand, so she can do things easily.

In the next few days, Gu Xiyan went out of the house every day. She sold the roasted seeds and nuts shop and the incense powder shop successively, and finally had spare money in her hands.

Then she bought a carriage by herself, and hired a shrewd and capable servant named Luo Bin, who would run errands for her in the future.

The day was clear and clear, and Gu Xiyan and Su Mei secretly met again in Jixianglou.

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

"Don't say anything, buy in secret, your father and the Su family are also hiding it. Find a reliable one to handle this matter. The more you collect, the better." Gu Xiyan was worried that the wall has ears, so she deliberately lowered her voice: "That's right. , buy all the silver frost charcoal, if there is no silver frost charcoal, charcoal is also feasible."

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

"But it's not winter yet, so why buy silver frost charcoal? Besides, if my father doesn't know, where can I get the silver frost charcoal?" Su Mei mumbled, wondering if Gu Xiyan sold it in the gourd. what medicine.

"I just recently sold two shops and made an advance payment from the bank. The money is enough. You must hurry up on this matter. The errands must be loyal to you, and no one else should know about it. , especially not to let your Su family know." Gu Xiyan said seriously.

"But why buy silver frost charcoal? I still can't figure it out." Su Mei looked at Gu Xiyan anxiously, hoping that she could clear up the confusion for herself.

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly: "Just do what you want, and soon we will earn the first pot of gold. I won't joke about my own money."

Su Mei saw that she was being tricky, so 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 silver was spent.

Soon Su Mei found out that Su Ho and her father were also buying charcoal all of a sudden, but there were only some low-quality charcoal left in the market, and there was no shadow of Silver Frost Charcoal.

On the second day after Soho started buying charcoal, a news suddenly spread in the city, saying that this year will 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 was almost sold out a few days ago.

People in the city want to buy winter clothes instead, but because the ready-made clothes shops haven't had time to stock up, they don't have them in stock.

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

Because the rare goods are available, the charcoal they bought before was sold out within a day, and the selling price was ten or dozens of times the price she bought back!
Of course, such high-priced charcoal is generally unaffordable, and it is all divided up by rich families.

In other words, this time they used a mere few thousand taels of silver to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Once this matter spread, it spread in the capital, and it became a blockbuster!
As soon as the news of the sharp rise in charcoal prices came out, it attracted the attention of the Ministry of Accounting, and Mai Dong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounting, reported the matter to Emperor Chengde immediately.

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