A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Liu Shuyao's face looked a little ugly. She didn't want to see this man, even if he was her biological father!

Shen Qingfeng also knew Liu Shuyao's background. He was present when Landlord Liu talked about this matter.

Shen Qingqian held Liu Shuyao's hand from under the table and comforted her.

Liu Shuyao's hands were a little cold and seemed to be shaking a little.

Shen Qingfeng knew what Liu Shuyao was thinking and wanted to take her away, but he was afraid that if he left suddenly, it would arouse suspicion from others.

He squeezed Liu Shuyao's palm and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here!"

Liu Shuyao quickly calmed down and smiled at her.

Chu Heng quickly calmed down, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to hide his embarrassment.

Shen Qingqian didn't know Liu Shuyao's background, so she didn't see anything. She just felt that Chu Heng was a little weird.

Mrs. Chu seemed to be thinking about something and glanced at Liu Shuyao calmly.

Chu Ying didn't care about what just happened at all, and still stole glances at Shen Qingfeng from time to time.

The meal was eaten quickly and quietly, and no one spoke.

After the meal, when everyone was leaving, Shen Qingqian still didn't want to lose this deal, so he said, "Master Chu, to show my sincerity, I am willing to make some concessions and sell it at three taels and six cents of silver per ton. As for the conditions you mentioned, I'm sorry I can't agree to them!"

Chu Heng knew that three taels and six thousand silver coins per ton of coal was already very cheap. Every time they transported coal back from the northern area bordering the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the cost was already four taels and five cents of silver!

But Chu Heng just felt unwilling!

However, he did not reject Shen Qingqian and said, "How about this, Miss Shen, I will think about it for two days. After three days, I will ask my wife to find you. Whether it succeeds or not, I will give you an answer."

"it is good!"

Shen Qingqian agreed and said nothing else.

After leaving the restaurant, Shen Qingqian said to Shen Qingfeng and Liu Shuyao: "Second brother and sister-in-law, you go back to the inn first. I have something to go out for."

Shen Qingfeng said: "Can you do it alone? How about we go back first and let Zhang Sheng and Yingzi accompany you!"

If it were any other time, Shen Qingfeng would definitely accompany Shen Qingqian personally, but today, Liu Shuyao suddenly saw her biological father, and she must have been deeply shocked. Liu Shuyao needed him, and he also wanted to be with her.

"No need, second brother, I just want to go find Zhao Yichen and will be back soon."

"Then your second sister-in-law and I will take you there, and then we will go back to the inn."

"OK then!"

Shen Qingfeng drove the carriage, Shen Qingqian sat beside him to show him the way, Liu Shuyao was in a bad mood, sitting alone in the carriage to digest what happened today. Soon they arrived at the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Shen Qingfeng and Zhao Yichen were not familiar with each other, and Shen Qingqian had never told him Zhao Yichen's true identity, so when Shen Qingfeng saw this luxurious high-walled courtyard and the big words on the door, he was still shocked!

"Qing Qian, Master Zhao, he, he is...?"

Shen Qingqian smiled, "Second brother, it's just what you think."

Shen Qingfeng was in a trance for a moment and felt it was a little unbelievable.

But he quickly calmed down and said solemnly: "Qing Qian, you must be careful when dealing with people like them. The closer you are to the center of power, the more complicated people's hearts and relationships are."

Shen Qingqian couldn't help but complain in her heart again. No wonder Chu Ying fell in love with him at first sight. A man like Shen Qingfeng was first-rate in both appearance and brains!

If it were someone else, they would definitely think that their sister had found a rich man and their eyes would light up with joy.

But Shen Qingfeng saw the essence of the matter at a glance and was not blinded by wealth!

What should I do? She is almost falling in love with this second brother!

"Brother, don't worry. I will know how to handle things properly. You and sister-in-law should go back quickly."

Shen Qingfeng gave a few more instructions before driving away.

After watching the carriage leave, Shen Qingqian walked up and knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and the person who opened it was Zhao Yichen's housekeeper, whom Shen Qingqian had met yesterday.

She asked, "Excuse me, is the Fifth Prince Zhao...at home?"

The butler also remembered Shen Qingqian, because he could see that their master treated this Miss Shen differently.

"Miss Shen is here. The master is in the mansion. Please wait a moment. I will go in and inform him."

"it is good."

The housekeeper ran away in a hurry, and Shen Qingqian stood at the door waiting.

Soon, Zhao Yichen came out in person. When he saw Shen Qingqian, he couldn't hide his joy.

"Qing Qian, you are here, come in quickly! I have already told the housekeeper that next time you come, let them take you in directly without notifying them!"

"thank you!"

Shen Qingqian was a little flattered.

Zhao Yichen took her to the front hall, and the servants quickly brought her tea.

Zhao Yichen said, "I happen to be free this afternoon. Can I take you around the mansion later?"

Shen Qingqian said: "No, I came to see you today for something."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it!"

Zhao Yichen took a sip of tea and said.

Shen Qingqian said, "Didn't you say before that the Ministry of War of the imperial court also needs coal? I would like to ask you to help make a connection and arrange a meeting with them."

"That's easy, I can take you there in a moment!"

Zhao Yichen agreed without hesitation.

"In a while? Don't we need to make an appointment in advance?"

Shen Qingqian was a little surprised. You know, she had waited for more than half a month before she met Chu Heng!

Zhao Yichen said: "The Minister of War is my uncle, Lin Shuang's father."

"Oh, I see!"

Shen Qingqian sighed in her heart, this should be the convenience brought by her identity! It seems that with Zhao Yichen's help, things will be much easier!

An hour later, Zhao Yichen helped Shen Qingqian to arrange a meeting with his uncle, Lin Yong, the Minister of War.

What Shen Qingqian didn't expect was that Lord Lin was quite easy to talk to!

As soon as Zhao Yichen explained his purpose, Lord Lin asked directly about the price!

Shen Qingqian said, "Master Lin, the price I gave Master Chu was three taels and six cents of silver per ton, so of course your price will be the same."

Lin Yong said honestly: "This price is not expensive, it is still cheap. In the past, when we transported coal from the north, the price of one ton of coal was almost four taels and five cents of silver!

How about this, at the price you mentioned, send us 500 tons of coal every month, and our Ministry of War will pay for the freight."

Is it done just like that? Happiness came so suddenly that Shen Qingqian felt it was a little unreal.

Soon, the two parties signed the contract. Lin Yong also paid Shen Qingqian a deposit of 500 tons of coal, 1,800 taels of silver!

After seeing Lin Yong off, Shen Qingqian said, "Zhao Yichen, Lord Lin bought my coal so readily, maybe it was because of you!"

Zhao Yichen said, "Of course not! The Ministry of War needs coal to build weapons. Didn't my uncle just say that it's much more expensive to buy from the North than from here? Of course I'll buy from you first!"
