Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 560
Four years ago, Xiao Xu handed in a memorial, willing to stay in the Fuli Mountains to explore mineral deposits and heal his injuries at the same time.

Emperor Xixuan was very satisfied with his move, because it would give Xiao Ran enough time to grow up, and he could also block the support of Xiao Xu's faction. Then he gave Xiao Xu the barren hills and towns within a radius of a hundred miles around the Fuli Mountains to Xiao Xu.

Because those places are either deserted mountains and forests or farmland with little harvest, so it looks like a large area, but in fact there is no tax to collect at all, which can be said to be tasteless.

However, how could the emperor's reward be rejected?

Xiao Xu accepted it without complaint, and because the place was too desolate, Emperor Xixuan showed kindness and did not collect their taxes.

But sometimes, a grain of sand that people don't care about may one day become a pearl.

Chu Qingyan returned to Liancheng with Xining and Jinxin.

Liancheng at this time is different from the depression and desertedness of previous years. Now small merchants and bosses are shouting on both sides of the street. People who come and go are rushing home to cook and eat. There is a lot of traffic and wine flags are flying. It is quite lively scene.

It may not be as prosperous as Kyoto, but in such a remote place, the achievement of such a result is already shocking others' jaws.

After four years, it should be admiration.

But all of this is due to Xiao Xu's support.

In the past, there were still dilapidated walls and ruins here. Although the people were not as exaggerated as the lack of clothing and food, it was normal for them to eat their last meal and not eat their next meal.

Chu Qingyan set foot on the way back to the mansion, saw the people living and working in peace and contentment, with peaceful faces, recalling how they were frightened and rejected by the people when they first came to this place.

Every time she saw this peaceful life, Chu Qingyan couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in her heart.

The big ice cube in her house is Bian Bang, Wu Neng An Bang, Wen Neng governs the country, let's see if this place is managed in an orderly manner!
And she likes to go back by walking instead of taking a carriage, because she likes to hear the praise of the people on the street about her family's big ice and brave riding, and she feels proud.

In the past few years, she has also assisted Big Ice Cube to deal with these barren hills in towns. Many times, she would pass on modern ideas to him. Big Ice Cube is so smart that he can draw inferences from her words and apply them to reality every time. It has to be said that sometimes the collision of ancient and modern ideas can really spark sparks.

Yingwangfu, these three words suddenly appeared in front of her.

There is also a plaque in Kyoto that is exactly the same, but the three characters in Kyoto seem to have no feeling, but the three characters in front of me give people a kind of homely warmth. .

The four guards outside the mansion stood guard against each other, and when they saw Chu Qingyan come back, they bent down to salute.

Just as Chu Qingyan was about to step into the gate, she heard shouts coming from inside.

"The woman I introduced to the lord is a beautiful beauty, what are you doing with me?" A rough voice came.

"Yo, what's the use of being handsome? But you know how to read and understand? Can you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Can you explain the language of flowers to relieve the prince's worries?" Another sharp voice called Chu Yan.

"Mrs. Xu, are you picking on my old lady?"

"Grandma Li, are you finished?"

Two 40- to [-]-year-old matchmakers in fancy dresses came out cursing, but ran into Chu Qingyan and the others head-on.

Both Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li are people who rely on their eyesight to make a living. When they saw the young master, who was the leader, he was wearing a crimson dress with tight stitches. It could be seen that the famous Suzhou embroidery was the best. Just looking at the demeanor of the whole body is enough to make people overwhelmed.

And the young man in red in front of him already made the eyes of the two women shine, and he immediately committed an occupational disease.

"Young master, may I ask your surname, age? Where do you live? Have you ever been married? Are your parents still alive? What property does your family have?"

The two had been arguing a lot earlier, but the words they asked at this time were surprisingly tacit, and after they finished speaking, the two glared at each other and said in a low voice, she was the one who saw this young man first.

And when the words of these two people finished, the guards on both sides couldn't help laughing, these two people really don't know gold inlaid jade, the one in front of them is the mistress of their palace, their prince's most precious little princess, They were talking loudly to the prince just now in front of her, but now they are blind and want to marry the little princess. They will probably be tortured to the point of abuse later!Wait for the show!

"You want to marry His Highness the King of England?" Chu Qingyan seemed to have not heard their question just now, but slightly raised her brows and asked in a somewhat casual tone.

When the two heard her tone, they seemed to be familiar with His Highness the King of England, and felt that they might have something to do with being a matchmaker, so they immediately chattered again, talking about the appearance of the person they wanted to kiss to His Highness the King of England Beautiful as a flower, how virtuous and virtuous.

After the two talked a lot, they found that the person in front of them didn't talk to them at all, and their expressions suddenly became embarrassing.

"You make up your own minds to propose marriage to the prince, but have you ever asked his concubine?" Chu Qingyan's tone was still slow and leisurely.

"This..." The two looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"Don't you know that the concubine is in charge of everything in the backyard? Including concubines and maidservants, so when you see the concubine, ask her for instructions!" After finishing speaking, Chu Qingyan turned around leisurely, intending to leave.

"But this son, Princess Ying has never shown her face. Where are the wives going to find her?" The two wives had received money from others, so they were inevitably a little anxious.

Chu Qingyan pursed her lips, "I won't be able to help you here. See off the guests!"

As soon as the words fell, two guards stepped forward to support the two tall and thick matchmakers and led them to the gate.

"Hey, my lord, who is that young master just now? How old is he? Where does he live? Did he ever get married? Are his parents still alive? What property does he have?"

There was no marriage to the King of England, but the two of them didn't want to let go of the young master just now, he must be a very handsome noble son.

One of the guards sneered coldly, "Keep your eyes open, do you dare to think about our prince's people? Let's go, don't come again, it is considered polite to invite you out this time, if you offend my princess , Think about the consequences yourself."

The two matchmakers left in despair.

Chu Qingyan had just stepped onto the steps of the main courtyard when she saw Huo Ling head-on.

She immediately waved to him, asked him to come over, and asked in a low voice, "How is Your Highness feeling today?"

Huo Ling winked at her, "The princess is covered with dark clouds, you wish for luck!"

Chu Qingyan's shoulders suddenly collapsed, it's over, can I not see the big ice cube?
