A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chu Heng heard that Shen Qingqian really wasn't at the inn and wasn't making excuses. He felt better and said, "No problem. Doesn't she have coal? I just want to discuss a deal with her and get to know her better."

"I see! Master, Miss Shen and I are acquainted. If you need anything from me, I can help you find Miss Shen."

Chu Heng's eyes lit up and he said, "Madam, please help me make an appointment with Miss Shen. I want to meet her as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll ask Madam Yang this afternoon which inn Miss Shen is staying in, and I'll go find her tomorrow morning."

Here, Shen Qingqian and Zhao Yichen were riding in a carriage together. Zhao Yichen's carriage was very luxurious, much larger than Shen Qingqian's. The two sat face to face, still at a certain distance, but they didn't feel awkward.

Zhao Yichen asked, "What happened to your coal?"

Shen Qingqian thought about it but didn't say anything. She was the one who discovered coal first and then bought the mountain.

He continued as he had said before: "I bought a mountain before and wanted to build a villa, but I never expected to dig out coal.

This time, Sister Susu and General Yang helped me contact Mr. Chu from the Ministry of Industry to discuss the purchase of coal. However, Mr. Chu didn't seem to be very sincere and never made an appointment to meet with me. So, I thought of finding another way!"

Zhao Yichen said: "In fact, in our Great Yue Kingdom, coal is a very scarce resource. Not only does the Ministry of Industry need it, but the Ministry of War also has a large demand for it. You don't need to find a market for it yourself."

Shen Qingqian knew all this in her heart! However, with Yang Zhi as the middleman, Mr. Chu was so unhappy, and there was no one at the Ministry of War to act as a middleman, so he dared not deal with them!

"If I can open up sales channels among the people, I don't want to deal with the court."

"Why?"

"I can't beat him! I'm just an ordinary citizen, I don't have any support, I don't have any background, but I'm holding such a big piece of fat meat in my hand. If I run into a corrupt official, it would be as easy to crush me as to crush an ant!"

"Can't you just treat me as your backer?"

Zhao Yichen didn't understand why Shen Qingqian was so distant with him? It would be fine if she didn't ask him for help, but she hadn't come to him once in all these days since she came to Beijing!

He felt a little lost and a little angry.

But Zhao Yichen seemed to have forgotten that he used to guard against Shen Qingqian like a thief, so he was thankful that Shen Qingqian didn't arouse his suspicion. How could she take the initiative to look for him?

Then Shen Qingqian teased, "A proud child of your status and position, of course it would be a blessing to have someone like you as a backer, but I'm afraid you'll suspect I have other intentions."

Zhao Yichen was speechless! He looked a little uncomfortable.

In fact, he still couldn't figure out the doubts about Shen Qingqian. However, in Zhao Yichen's mind, Shen Qingqian's shining points had already overshadowed those doubts!

After knowing each other for such a long time, Zhao Yichen knew that Shen Qingqian was not as complicated as he imagined. She was a very good girl, very righteous and not pretentious.

I don't know when, he has fallen in love with her!

The two of them soon arrived at Zhao Yichen's residence.

The carriage stopped, Zhao Yichen got off first, and then stretched out a hand in front of Shen Qingqian.

Shen Qingqian paused, then put her small hand on his big hand and used the force to jump off the carriage.

But after Shen Qingqian got off the carriage, Zhao Yichen still held her hand and did not let go.

Shen Qingqian blinked and looked up at Zhao Yichen, not knowing what he meant!

However, Zhao Yichen walked forward seriously without even looking at her.

Shen Qingqian used a little force to try to pull her hand back, but Zhao Yichen actually let go.

This made Shen Qingqian wonder if she was overthinking it, and Zhao Yichen's action was completely unconscious.

Thinking of this, she was a little distracted and her pace slowed down. When Zhao Yichen stopped in front of her and turned around, she didn't see him and bumped into his chest.

"Ouch!"

Zhao Yichen's body was like a wall, hitting her nose and making it hurt and sore.

Shen Qingqian grabbed the collar of Zhao Yichen's shirt with one hand and covered her nose with the other hand. She was in so much pain that tears were about to come out!

Zhao Yichen looked at him like this, stunned for a moment, then asked: "Qingqian, are you okay?"

Shen Qingqian took two deep breaths, then said slowly, "Oh my god, why are you so hard?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yichen's body froze. Shen Qingqian realized later that something was wrong. Her face immediately turned red. What was she saying? It was easy to cause misunderstanding!

The air was stagnant for a moment, and Zhao Yichen didn't know what to say. He couldn't respond to this!

It was Shen Qingqian who spoke first, and said with a wry smile: "Zhao Yichen, this is your home, let's go in."

"it is good!"

Zhao Yichen touched his nose, then looked down at Shen Qingqian's hand that was grabbing his collar.

Shen Qingqian then realized that her hand was still on the other person's chest. She coughed twice and quickly let go. Then she ran away with a red face.

Zhao Yichen curled the corners of his mouth and followed her into the yard.

Because of the little mistake just now, Shen Qingqian felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't even notice what Zhao Yichen's house looked like.

The housekeeper came up at this time, secretly looked at Shen Qingqian, and then said to Zhao Yichen: "The master is back, do you want to have lunch now?"

Zhao Yichen said, "Yes, the sooner the better. Ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes to entertain Miss Shen."

"Yes, master."

The butler agreed respectfully and left.

Zhao Yichen brought Shen Qingqian to the front hall, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the food was served on the table.

The dishes on the table looked very appetizing. After all, it was the food of the prince's mansion, and there were several dishes that Shen Qingqian had never seen before.

During the meal, neither of them spoke. Zhao Yichen occasionally picked up some food for Shen Qingqian, and the two of them looked very harmonious.

"Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother, are you eating? I'm hungry too. I want to come to your place for a meal!"

Suddenly, a loud shout broke the silence between the two.

Zhao Yichen and Shen Qingqian looked up at the same time and saw Zhao Yifeng rushing in.

He was stunned when he came in!

"Shen Qingqian? Why are you here? When did you come to Beijing? How come I didn't know? Also, you came to see my fifth brother, why didn't you come to see me? You are too partial!"

The barrage of questions left Shen Qingqian at a loss as to how to answer!

She had no choice but to change the subject: "Aren't you hungry? Sit down and eat together first!"
