Chapter 17 is a blockbuster!

   "Why don't you go to the palace and let your majesty come down 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 heavy rain outside the house, his face suddenly became bitter, what bad idea did he come up with?

  He changed into an **** to serve him, took the umbrella, and saw Yin Nanny walking over: "It's raining so much, you want to go out again?"

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

  Hearing Qi Zhiyuan's words, Nanny Yin sighed: "I thought the young master was really enlightened, 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."

  Nurse Yin also felt that it was a pity, and told Qi Zhiyuan to go and come back early, and went to work on her own.

  From now on, the son will officially take root in the capital, and if he can't return to the Fallen Immortal Temple, he 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 atmosphere of human fireworks, but...

  Nurse Yin looked at Mr. Ruyu who looked like a banished fairy beside the desk, and thought to herself, who can have such ability to pull the young master into the world of mortals?

  The words are divided into two ends, Qiankun Palace.

  Emperor Cheng De lost his good mood when he heard about Qi Zhiyuan's visit.

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

  Qi Zhiyuan knew that the emperor was not happy, so when he explained why he came, 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.

   Finally, there was a girl who was able to get closer to her son. It shouldn't be like this.

   "Caomin doesn't know. But today Caomin met that girl Gu, she is really like 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 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. , looking 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 Young Master Zhou?"

   Qiu Shi 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 at night, 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.

   So she has cash in 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.

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

  The day was clear and bright, and Gu Xiyan and Su Mei secretly met again in Jixiang Tower.

   "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 it secretly, your father and the Su family are also hiding it. Find a reliable one to handle this matter, and 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."

  Seeing that she was being tricky, Su Mei 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 suddenly, 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 each clothing store has not had time to stock up, there is no stock.

   It was at this time that Gu Xiyan found a reliable person to play the role of a businessman surnamed Li from other places, 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.

   That is to say, this time they used only a few thousand taels of silver to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

   Once the news 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 Household Affairs, and Mai Dong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, 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.
