Guo Qianni: "I asked you three questions just now, why did you only answer me one?"
Wen Ran looked at her innocently with a pair of big black and bright eyes: "Sister-in-law, this is also a question. Do you really want me to answer it? If you want to answer it, just give me a piece of silver."
Guo Qianni: "... ... ... No need!"
If you answer one, you know the answers to three.
"Brother Seventeen..." Who is it? Guo Qianni was about to ask who Brother Seventeen was and what came to mind, but she immediately changed her mind: "What is Brother Seventeen's name?"
"Brother Shiqi is called Shiqi! He didn't tell us his name."
Guo Qianni had the urge to vomit blood again, so asking was in vain, but being ranked seventeenth in the family proved that this person's family was not a small family.
"Then do you know his last name? Where he lives? How do you know him?"
"Three pieces of silver."
Guo Qianni no longer wanted to describe her feelings at the moment, so she silently paid for it.
"I don't know. He only told us that his name was Shi Qi. Da Hui and Xiao Hei took my sister to get to know him."
Why are there two more people? ? ? ! ! ! !
…
In the end, Guo Qianni pinched the empty purse and watched Wen Ran jumping home, feeling deeply that she had been tricked by a little girl!
She spent more than twenty taels of silver to find out about a man named Shi Qi who lived in the mountains. Don't know anything else.
I also learned about a wolf named Big Gray and an eagle named Xiao Hei.
I also got to know Mr. Feng, whose surname was Feng but nothing else.
Their family helped Brother Seventeen and Mr. Feng cook. Because the food was delicious, Brother Seventeen helped write letters of recommendation. He also said that he might not be able to get into the exam. The gentleman was very strict, but Brother and the others were so good that they got in.
So, twenty or so taels of silver were exchanged for one of their families who only helped cook for others, and then received a reward from the master’s family in exchange for a letter of recommendation
But those three brothers were lucky enough to be accepted as disciples by Lin Shanchang!
Being a cook means you are just a servant. Even if you gain face in front of your master, you are still a servant!
Have you ever heard that cooks can become successful? Forgive them for not making any waves!
But who is Mr. Shiqi Hefeng
Guo Qianni returned to her old house with her empty purse in hand.
I really lost a lot today, more than twenty taels of silver, plus the three purses I gave away just now, each purse also contained a pearl flower and a silver ingot!
She thought their family had some unknown secret, but who knew...
Mistaking fish eyes for pearls!
―
After Wen Ran returned home, she happily showed off to Wen Wen: "Third sister, I also made money! A lot!"
Wen Ran poured out all the silver in his purse and counted it. There were twenty-five taels!
Wen Nuan was a little surprised: "How did you make money?"
Wen Ran told what had just happened vividly.
Wen Nuan couldn't help but laugh: "You weirdo, well done!"
After Nuan Nuan said it, he felt something was wrong. How could he teach children to make money using such evil ways
She looked solemn, coughed, and said in a stern tone: "There is a right way to make money. We can't use such deceptive methods to make money, do you understand?"
Wen Ran waved his hand: "Third sister, stop pretending! You wish I could lie more! I know, I don't lie to other people, I only lie to that family! This is called robbing the rich and giving to the poor!"
Nuan Nuan denied: "Am I such a person?"
Wen Ran nodded: "Don't pretend! Third sister, I think you are what you are!"
warmth:"... ... ."

mountain
A gray figure and a black figure stood on the top of the mountain, with clothes flying.
The man in silver looked with stern eyes at the people below who were mining jade in full swing.
At the foot of the mountain, Mr. Wen Jiafu, the county magistrate, was gathered around a rough jade stone with a diameter as large as a wooden barrel. He studied it carefully and felt as if he had found a treasure.
Wen Jiafu asked an old man excitedly: "Master, is this stone jade?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, I can guarantee it is definitely jade!"
"What's the condition like?" the county magistrate asked nervously.
This is related to whether he will be rich in the future!
"It's almost the same! I guess it's mostly emeralds."
The two looked at each other and smiled!
Sent!
Sent!
"Quick, drive out and take a look!" The county magistrate waved his hand.
He hired "heavy troops" to guard the place day and night, and also hired stone cutters to cut stones here.
After many days of preparation, several huts were built here to house the mining workers to facilitate their mining day and night. Today, a rough jade stone was finally mined!
…
The man in black on the top of the mountain asked: "Master, do you need me to take back the jade mine?"
As long as he goes and says that he has bought the jade mine long ago, the government officials don't know that if he sells more than one mountain, he can take it back.
As long as he revealed his master's identity, no one would dare to snatch it from them.
Take it back
"No need! Just pay attention to the whereabouts of the rough stones they dug out. If any are lost, pick them all up." Nalan Jinnian's eyes turned cold again.
"Yes." The man in black didn't understand why his master didn't take the jade mine back, but he didn't ask any more questions.
All he had to do was follow orders.
When the two saw this, they stopped looking and went straight down the mountain.
Shortly after the two left, the jade stone was cut out.
"Is this jade?" The county magistrate looked at the old man.
Is he probably not kidding himself
The old man's forehead was sweating: "No, it's not."
How could it be the lowest quality jade
This can't be sold for much money!
Wen Jiafu was more optimistic: "Sir, this is just a leftover material from the mining. It is possible that the quality of the jade is not good! Let's see how the other ones turn out!"
"Cut! Cut it for me quickly!" The county magistrate threw the cut out low-quality jade aside.
In the end, the jade quality of the few rough stones that were found could not be worse.
The cold air began to spread upward from the soles of Wen Jiafu's feet!
He looked up at the entire mountain, and a terrible thought arose in his heart~~
The whole mountain won’t be…
He was so excited that his whole body trembled!
puff! He put out the idea that just came up like putting out a flame!
No!
Definitely not!
"Tch, cut whatever is prescribed for me!" The county magistrate wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and said angrily.
…
At the county government office, Ouyang Huaian came over immediately when he knew Nalan Jin was coming.
As soon as he stepped into the house, he immediately wailed:
"Seventeen, you are not kind! I sold the Stone Mountain by mistake, I was wrong! I deserve to die! But I have already paid thirty thousand taels to the little girl! You still want to give such an order? De For thousands of years, the spring and summer floods in the Yuanhe River have never been cured! You asked me to find a way to control the water within a year, how can I cure it? Even in one year, I can't raise enough money to build the river embankment!"
The Deyuan River is flooded, and the hundreds of thousands taels spent every year are just a drop in the bucket.
He wanted to cure it, but how could he get millions of taels of silver? He was secretly glad that day. Although the Deyuan River flows through Ningyuan County, the most dangerous place is in Dehuai County, and its management is under the jurisdiction of the Dehuai County magistrate!
Why did it fall to him today
Nalan Jinnian said seriously: "This is an order from the Ministry of Industry and has nothing to do with me."
Ouyang Huaian rolled his eyes, he believed that he was a big-headed ghost!
You know this person will not let you go!
"Brother, I will find a way to help you get back the jade mine. Please spare me!"
Nalan Jinnian glanced at him indifferently: "If you dare to interfere with the jade mine, go to Dehuai County to regulate the rivers!"
Ouyang Huaian shut up immediately.
He is not Dayu, so he is really not good at controlling water!
