The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 228 There are policies from above and countermeasures from below

"Is this a success?"

"From now on, if we use ice, do we not have to pay for it?"

In the Sheng family yard, several people gathered around a water tank, watching Sheng Wanqiu making ice with saltpeter. They watched the water condense into ice bit by bit, emitting a hint of cold air. Everyone was so excited, and Qiao Wenyuan was the most excited among them.

"Hey, Wanqiu, what do you think about us making ice and selling it overseas? We could even sell ice to other neighboring countries? That would be quite a profit!"

Qiao Wenyuan's mind was already in a mess, as if he had seen all the gold, silver and jewelry flying into his little girl's purse, and he was laughing so happily.

"Old man Qiao, stop daydreaming. Have you forgotten that private individuals are not allowed to sell ice and charcoal? Are you trying to make Wanqiu break the law?"

Lu Heng immediately poured a basin of cold water on Qiao Wenyuan, killing his daydream in the cradle.

"Oh! I almost forgot about this!" Qiao Wenyuan slapped his forehead after realizing it belatedly. He had really forgotten about this matter just now.

"There are policies from above, and there are countermeasures from below. They don't say that we can't sell it, but they don't say that we can't give it away, right?"

"Dad, didn't we have orchids before? As long as you buy our orchids and become a member, you will get free ice cubes in the summer. Isn't it the same for us to earn membership fees?"

"Dad, you should hurry up and start the orchid shop!"

"Hahahaha, what a great example of a policy from above and a countermeasure from below. Why didn't I think of that? When I got back this time, I started making preparations. I almost forgot about this!"

Qiao Wenyuan immediately laughed so hard that his teeth were showing. His little girl was really smart.

Lu Heng's mouth twitched when he heard this. What the hell, he was still here, and these two dared to fleece the country so blatantly. How stupid!
At this moment, a team arrived at the door of Sheng's house, led by Fan Qifeng on horseback.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Master Qiao and Prince Wu'an!"

"Damn it, you came at the right time. I haven't even looked for you yet, but you showed up at my door."

"Take this stick from me!" When Qiao Wenyuan saw Fan Qifeng, he picked up the broom on the ground and hit Fan Qifeng.

Fan Qifeng was so confused that he was beaten several times by Master Qiao. He was almost in tears. He thought about everything that had happened during this period of time, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended this big Buddha.

"Okay, Dad, you should at least ask Lord Fan to tell you the reason for his coming. It's not too late for you to take action!" Sheng Wanqiu looked at Fan Qifeng sitting on the ground in a cowardly manner with an expression that looked like he was about to cry, and quickly grabbed Qiao Wenyuan who was about to kick him.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll spare your life for the sake of my little girl. If you don't tell me the reason, even if the king of heaven comes, you won't be able to leave this door alive today!"

"What exactly does this humble official want to say?" Fan Qifeng was so confused that he almost flipped his head over. He couldn't figure out how he had offended Master Qiao.

"You're talking about your brother-in-law? You idiot!" Lu Heng looked at Fan Qifeng as if he were a fool. How did this guy become a county magistrate? He was so stupid! "Brother-in-law? I don't have a brother-in-law. My wife only has three sisters, no brothers?" Fan Qifeng was also panicked. When did he inexplicably get a brother-in-law? His father-in-law and mother-in-law had nothing better to do and gave birth to a child at home?

"No way? The person who came to pick a fight clearly said that he was your brother-in-law. Even if I heard it wrong, others couldn't have heard it wrong! What do you think, old man Qiao!"

Lu Heng was also a little confused and looked at Qiao Wenyuan and Sheng Wanqiu.

"Yes, Lord Fan, we all heard it. The other party swore that he was your brother-in-law!" Sheng Wanqiu nodded.

"Oh my God! I am really wronged. If you two don't believe me, you can go ask my wife. My parents-in-law only gave birth to four daughters and no sons. How could I have a brother-in-law?" Fan Qifeng wanted to carry his father-in-law and mother-in-law to confront him immediately.

"That's strange. This person keeps saying he's your brother-in-law, Lord Fan. You'd better check it out right away to prevent these people from ruining your reputation outside!"

Sheng Wanqiu kindly suggested that because looking at Fan Qifeng's expression as if the sky was falling, she knew that this man was definitely not lying. It seemed that the person who came to make trouble before lied.

"Okay, I'll check it out right away and give Miss Sheng an explanation!" Fan Qifeng was also very angry. Damn it, it was really like a disaster for one's family. Not only did he get a brother-in-law for no apparent reason, but he was also hit by the broom. He was really unlucky.

When Fan Qifeng was about to leave in a hurry, he remembered why he came here. He immediately handed Qiao Wenyuan a letter, saying that the emperor had sent it at full speed.

Qiao Wenyuan opened it, read it quickly, and handed it to Lu Heng beside him.

"What do you think? Should we go back first? It seems that this Beixu Kingdom's grand court meeting is going to be quite lively!"

"Let's go tomorrow. Didn't it say here that the selection of people to go to Beixu Country still needs you and me to decide? Things here are almost done, so we'll set off first. Lingyun and the others will return later."

"And you, Wanqiu girl, it seems that you will go back to the capital with us this time!" Lu Heng read the letter in his hand quickly and handed it to Sheng Wanqiu.

Sheng Wanqiu opened it and saw what the hell! Not only did the emperor ask her to come to the capital to claim her reward, but he also asked her to attend some kind of meeting with Beixu Kingdom. What was going on? Could he even ask her to participate in a competition?
Declined! She just wanted to lie down and do nothing. She had enough money to spend now and didn't want to participate in any bullshit competition. She was bored to death.

"Dad, what is this grand court meeting for? It sounds like a gang!" Sheng Wanqiu really didn't understand what it was for!

"This grand court meeting is hosted by the five countries in turn. It's mainly a group of people eating and drinking. It's no big deal!" Qiao Wenyuan's explanation was quite simple, so simple that Lu Heng rolled his eyes.

"So, you're using public funds for food and drink on business trips? Is that what you mean? Then why did Your Majesty invite me along? It's true that eating and drinking are my specialties, but I'm just a commoner. Is this appropriate?"

Sheng Wanqiu rubbed her chin in confusion. She felt there was a trap and she had to be more cautious and not get fooled again.

"Silly girl, after this trip, you will definitely not be a commoner anymore. Believe in your father, there will be only benefits and no harm!"

"Besides, your brothers and sisters still want to meet you, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together this time."
