Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 428, fill the hole

Yu Xiucheng obviously didn't expect that his actions would hug Xiao Qing to his full arms, his face became hot, and his hands tightened unconsciously.

Xiao Qing put his arms on Xiucheng's chest, and his eyes met. Both of them were panicked, nervous, and at a loss, especially Yu Xiucheng, whose face was red and hot, and his palms were sweating. When he was nervous, he felt that Xiao Qing She seemed to be the same as him, so nervous that she was overwhelmed, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and the strength in her hands relaxed instead, enjoying her initiative to throw herself into her arms.

Seeing the two hugging each other, Xiao Qing seemed to resemble a certain pose of the male and female protagonists in TV dramas. When he thought of this, he shuddered unconsciously, hey, this scene is so good!

She immediately pushed Yu Xiucheng away, clutching her arms in disgust, goosebumps arose.

"It was you who took the initiative to turn around and hug me, not because I insisted on hugging you! How could you still despise me?" Yu Xiucheng asked angrily.

He didn't mean to take advantage of her, how could he be so disgusted?
Xiao Qing didn't say anything, but gouged him hard, thinking to go back as soon as possible, and to give the money to He Mingli before tonight, she said angrily: "I'm too lazy to argue with you, don't dare to touch me next time One click, I'll break your arm!"

Yu Xiucheng was stunned by her expression, he subconsciously pursed his lips and made a wry smile, and when he saw her turn her back, he smiled sweetly again.

Xiao Qing led Jiaozi and Jinzi out of the Xiangfu with twists and turns and followed the road in his memory. Looking back, Yu Xiucheng didn't catch up, so he felt relieved now. It's best to keep associating with him less in the future, anyway. There is no need to repay the money, and there is no written proof, but she thinks it is better to prepare the borrowed money, so as not to ask her to pay it back when he remembers it that day.

She walked out of the prime minister's mansion, and was about to go to the place where the horse was tied, when suddenly two people came out from behind the tree where the horse was tied.

"The little princess is in trouble tonight. Everyone who comes out of it is saying that the little princess has superb piano skills and has won a few more years of tribute for Daqing. He forced the Western Regions to surrender obediently without a single soldier. After paying tribute for three years, I believe that after tonight, no one in Shangjing will dare to joke about the little princess!" He Mingli walked in front of Xiao Qing while talking.

Seeing that there was another person beside him, Xiao Qing looked carefully, and it turned out to be Ma Xian. She gave Ma Xian a look, Ma Xian nodded and took two steps back.

She didn't care what he said, she just asked: "Young Master He is here to inform me, when will I meet the chiefs in the palace?"

He Mingli nodded: "Well, yes, do you have your money ready?"

"It's almost there!" Xiao Qing said flatly.

He Mingli said: "These martyrs only recognize money, it's useless to tell them more! I originally planned not to let you meet them at the same time, and wanted to introduce several important people to you to meet one by one, but after tonight , I think you don’t need to say goodbye, if they know to talk to you about business, I believe you won’t need to say much, you can easily win it!”

"Then I can't come forward by myself!" Xiao Qing glanced at Ma Xian who was on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Master He, why don't you go back tonight and see you at Qingfeng Restaurant at Chen Shimo tomorrow morning, and we will talk about it in detail at that time These things?"

He Mingli thought for a moment, thinking that it was getting late and there were outsiders beside him, so he nodded: "Alright!"

With that said, he bowed his hands and left.

After Xiao Qing and Ma Xian watched He Mingli leave, Ma Xian walked up to Xiao Qing and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, we cleaned up the cave dwellings behind Xishan these two days and found that there were several big holes in the three cave dwellings at the back. The people blocked it indiscriminately, and I’m afraid we can’t burn the kiln. The brothers of the Li family said that there is a cave next to the front. I’m afraid we won’t be able to burn much. We don’t know what to do, so let me ask my aunt what should we do next ?”

Can't burn charcoal if there are holes in the cave dwelling?Air leaks from the front and back, and the charcoal will be completely burned. There is a charcoal kiln in the front, and the charcoal kiln does not burn enough to supply the palace. What do you expect from the wealthy Pingning County Prince's Mansion?

"Are there holes in the three cave dwellings at the back?" Xiao Qing asked worriedly.

Ma Xian nodded heavily: "Yes, especially the largest kiln, the hole is basically unfired, and the Li family brothers said that there is no way to mend it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to burn a kiln the day after tomorrow! "

If a kiln cannot be fired the day after tomorrow, it will delay her overall progress. The charcoal is already on the market. She not only looks at the sales in the palace, but also the sales of the people. The states and counties are her ultimate goal.

"Don't worry, I'll follow you out of the city to see the situation!" Xiao Qing comforted.

Fortunately, the city gates of Shangjing were not closed to welcome the envoys these days, otherwise she would not be able to get out of the city gates, and I don't know how long the delay would be.

"Okay!" Ma Xian invited her: "Ma'am, I also enter the city on horseback, let's set off now!"

Xiao Qing hummed, followed Ma Xian and accompanied Xiao Qing back to the Prince's Mansion of Pingning County, Xiao Qing entrusted a few words of Pinzhu to let the eldest princess go to bed early, put on the cloak and hurried out of the city.

An hour later, Xiao Qing was taken to the Xishan charcoal kiln by Ma Xian and the Li family brothers, and they came to several broken charcoal kilns.

Xiao Qing looked at it at a glance, and sure enough, as the Li family brothers said, this cave dwelling is unusable. Behind the huge cave dwelling, there is a thin layer of walls, shining brightly from the moonlight. There is a problem with wind protection, so how can you burn charcoal?

"Shopkeeper Xiao, look at the wall patched by people on this floor before. It's thinner than your eyelids. If you burn charcoal, there will be smoke from the wind, and even the best trees will be burned to ashes! Shopkeeper Xiao, if this If it is broken and repaired, it may be too late to burn charcoal the day after tomorrow!" Li Huaijin, the older brother of the Li brothers, said worriedly.

He thought that there was a bigger hole in the back, and he pointed to the bigger cave: "Shopkeeper Xiao, there is also the big cave at the back, the broken ones are much bigger than this one, shopkeeper, these caves need to be repaired." , it will take a lot of time!"

Xiao Qing looked at the thin cave, and asked worriedly: "If it is repaired, how many days will it take?"

"At least ten days. After mending, you have to try patience. You can't use it directly. Otherwise, it won't last for a few days, and the hole will have to be mended again!" Li Huaixiao said.

It's too late in ten days, and in ten days, I'm waiting for the charcoal to be burned. It will be a month later. It's already October, and it's snowing in the north in November. The noble family's charcoal has already been prepared , They are unknown, and they are later than others, it is better not to burn.

"Ten days is too long, can you shorten the time? I can't wait that long!" Xiao Qing asked seriously.

The Li brothers thought about it, and Li Huaijin said: "Shopkeeper Xiao, if we increase the number of people, it will take seven or eight days at the earliest!"

"Two days, I'll give you two days at most!" Xiao Qing said, "I can't wait, so let's make it up tonight, if you can travel day and night, and I'll find more people tomorrow. After drying on the third day, it will be officially used?"

"Shopkeeper Xiao, I'm too anxious! I'm afraid that other parts of the charcoal kiln will burn out!" Li Huaixiao said.
