Unique and stunning, the black-bellied daughter-in-law controls the world

Chapter 88
Li Yunqing's words were astonishing, and there was a brief silence among the crowd, and then one of the miners shook his head: "I think you are from the imperial capital, these two little brothers have delicate skin and tender flesh, how can they stand the wind and the sun. "

"Yeah, yeah, don't faint on the construction site, we brothers haven't been able to explain yet."

The miners at the three tables shook their heads and waved their hands, continuing to eat their meals.

Xuanyuan Qiyu was not happy after hearing this, how could he be like a weak chicken?He didn't believe how hard it would be to dig a mine!
His majestic prince, can't stay on a construction site anymore?

"I'm going anyway. If I fail, don't you guys take the responsibility, how about I just go to learn more?" Xuanyuan Qiyu raised his eyebrows, speaking with great pride, and then discovered something, quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it own paws.

When the men saw that he wiped his hands every time he touched the table, they all shook their heads.

"Forget it, little brother, you need to gain knowledge. You can gain knowledge in the imperial capital. You suffer and suffer here, and you only grow sweat and calluses." A man raised a bowl of wine and drank it, wiped his mouth, and persuaded him.

The people at the other three tables all laughed foolishly when they heard this, packed up their tools, and prepared to go to the construction site.

"Second brother, this account should still be kept at Lao Jin's house, right?"

"Yes, yes, everyone, go slowly." The shop waiter jumped out again with a smile on his face. Seeing that the four of them had hardly moved their chopsticks, he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Little brother, I didn't say that you can't even eat this meal." , why don’t you go to the construction site, read more books, you will gain more knowledge.”

"No." Xuanyuan Qiyu jumped eight feet high, put down his chopsticks and rushed over, spreading his arms to block the miners who were about to go out, "I don't want money, I just go to play with you, okay? I'll give you money back how?"

As he spoke, he fiddled with his paws in his sleeves, pulled out a bank note, and handed it to the strong man walking in front.

The man was taken aback, and casually glanced at the bank note, he was startled when he didn't look at it, and the man trembled in fright.

It was a bank note of 10 taels of silver, which was an astronomical figure that they had never seen in their lifetime!
"No, no, little brother, accept it quickly." The man waved his hands again and again, with a trace of helplessness on his simple face, "Okay, it's okay to go to the construction site, but don't go to dangerous places."

Seeing that these people did not take money, Xuanyuan Qiyu froze her hands in mid-air, an unspeakable feeling flooded into her heart, a burst of astringency.

He grew up in the palace, and the nanny who grew up with him the most, court ladies and eunuchs, all took him to eat, drink, play, gamble and play with birds, and tried every means to steal money from him.

In fact, he knew it very well in his heart, but the queen mother only remembered his gentle and gentle brother, and when would she care about his well-being.He will only be given a silver ticket with sky-high numbers.

To him, a prince who lives in the palace, the silver bills are just a pile of waste paper, and he thinks it is too soft to fold paper kites.

Since those court ladies and eunuchs like it and are willing to play with him because of it, why not do it?
But this is the first time he has seen someone who is extremely poor but not greedy for any cheap things.

The astringency in his heart became stronger, and he wanted to go to the construction site to be a miner. A smile appeared on his delicate face: "Thank you."

"Thank you, you noble sons, you can buy hundreds of mines with your hand, why are you begging us to go to the construction site to play, how embarrassing." The man's face was obviously embarrassed, and he smiled naively. He smiled, moved the pickaxe on his shoulder, and waved his hand rather awkwardly.

Xuanyuan Qiyu smiled, glanced at Xuanyuan Ranli who was sitting quietly at the side, raised her eyebrows and said, "Slave dog, why don't you go?"

Xuanyuan Ranli glanced at him coldly, stood up sullenly, and followed him out of the restaurant.

"Hey hey, Master, we'll be back tonight." Xuanyuan Qiyu was so excited that she grabbed Xuanyuan Ranli's sleeve and pulled it out.

Xuanyuan Ranli: "..."

In broad daylight, can you stop talking about it?
By the way, they haven't eaten lunch yet, will they die suddenly in the mine later?

Li Yunqing and Cao Ba finished watching quietly, then turned their heads together and stared at the two dishes.

"..." Li Yunqing completely put down her chopsticks, and said calmly, "Let's go out for a walk too."

"Okay." Cao Ba responded, walked over to pay the meal and rent, and followed Li Yunqing out of the restaurant.

The streets of Weicheng are not so desolate. There are quite a lot of shops around, but basically they are some dilapidated jewelry shops with a lot of rough stones piled up outside the doors.

And the people passing by are usually miners rushing to the construction site one after another, and some old grandpas sitting in front of the door smoking, looking at the passers-by with vicissitudes of life.

As for the women, they probably stayed at home, except for the aunts who passed by with their baskets.

I heard that Weicheng was not like this a few years ago. There used to be a long river named Weihe in Weicheng, which has nurtured all the crops in Weicheng for generations.

But just four or five years ago, the river suddenly dried up, the crops were ruined, and the hungry people began to emigrate, and only a small part stayed here.

The imperial court also allocated countless funds, but it is a pity that in the end, it is unknown whose pocket it will fall into, and it cannot stir up any ripples.

The sun in Weicheng is very hot, and it is almost summer, and the heat waves in the air are surging, bringing a feeling of irritability.

Li Yunqing walked slowly on the street, her blue dress swaying, her cold face showed no particular emotion, as calm as ever.

Cao Ba was holding a piece of dog's tail grass in his mouth, his big straw hat covered most of his face, and he was dressed in unremarkable coarse cloth clothes, and he walked behind carelessly.

I don't know, I thought he was a gangster from somewhere.

However, although Weicheng is barren, the various gold, silver and jewelry produced every year can easily make a person rich.

There is a custom in Weicheng called gambling stones, pieces of rough stones brought from mines, big or small, may be able to mine all kinds of jewels, and it is a good thing to make thousands of gold with four taels, outsiders have to try their luck when they come of.

Therefore, there are so many seemingly dilapidated jewelry stores here, and countless rough stones are piled up in front of them.

However, their business is not very good. The best stone gambling shop is in the center of the city, owned by the Jin family, and the best mines are all bought by the Jin family, so the rough stones here are also the easiest to mine gems.

As the two of Li Yunqing moved forward, a two-story shop in front came into view.

The decoration of the store is very simple, but it is full of rough stones, and the gate is crowded with people.

The newly shipped rough stones triggered a new round of panic buying.

"I want this! This, this, yes yes!"

"This is big, there must be something good, I want this!"

"Tch, it looks like a foreigner at first glance, so the big one must have good things? I want this small one!"

Men and women crowded in front of those stones, making a lot of noise.

On the other side, there are some miners with pickaxes to dig rocks for them.

There are also those who need to finely open the stone, so they use special tools to polish, and a little bit of stone chips flying, it shows that another person will get rich overnight.

However, the so-called sudden wealth of the people here is nothing more than a piece of jasper or a piece of agate.

This is a drop in the bucket for people from the imperial capital, but it is still very interesting to play.

Li Yunqing walked over curiously, and also wanted to see how this so-called stone gambling was carried out.

It may be that her appearance is really eye-catching, and the boss at the side saw her at a glance.

At that glance, the shop owner seemed to see Jinshan moving towards him.

Li Yunqing had an alluring complexion and a detached temperament, but she wore a simple and elegant dress that was expensive, she looked like a lady from a wealthy family.

These rich ladies from big cities are easy to buy a lot of useless ore when their brains are hot, so that they can make a lot of money.

The owner of the store immediately put on his usual smile, and said with a smile: "Oh, this lady is so beautiful, do you want to buy a stone for fun, the possibility of our stone today is very large , you can buy a lot of them and make a good fortune.”

Hearing the crackling words of the shop owner, Li Yunqing's lips curled up slightly, maybe it wasn't her who made a good fortune, right?

Although she doesn't understand the twists and turns of these things, she also knows that the shop owner will definitely not lose money. How could she easily make a fortune for a woman who looks like she has no brains.

But she was really interested in this, so she picked up a small piece and weighed it in her hand.

She didn't know how to look at the stone, so she could only play with it casually.

Seeing her hand-made movement, the shop owner could hardly restrain the smile on his lips, he almost showed his perfect tongue and asked Li Yunqing to buy a bunch of useless stones.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side.

"Boss Wang's business is good today." A clear female voice came from outside the crowd.

The common people seemed to give way to the visitor consciously, Li Yunqing casually glanced over.

I saw that the person who came was a charming woman in a long embroidered dress. The woman was about 30 years old. She had charming facial features, but she wore heavy makeup, which was unmistakably gaudy. Her eyes were as charming as silk, and her waist was like a willow , the golden steps on the head swayed.

There was a hint of arrogance on the woman's face. Along the way, the common people gave way consciously, which made her curl her red lips proudly.

"Who is this man?"

A person next to Li Yunqing asked curiously, although he didn't know who the woman was, he still took a few steps back.

A person whispered: "She is called Hu Siniang, a famous widow in Weicheng. She hooked up with Patriarch Jin some time ago. No one in Weicheng would dare to offend her."

"Keep your voice down." A person next to him pushed the speaker.

Li Yunqing tilted her head slightly, after listening to the words of the person next to her, she felt nothing, and continued to play with the stone in her hand.

But I don't know that she doesn't care, but others care a lot.

Since Hu Siniang hooked up with Jin Fushan, she likes to domineering on the street when she has nothing to do, and the city lord of Weicheng will give her a little face.

But today, someone dared not to give way to her, stood there very conspicuously, and played with the stone like someone who had nothing to do.

Hu Siniang narrowed her eyes, she looked like a woman, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
