A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Zhao Yifeng also realized that he was being a little abrupt, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just asking casually, don't mind it."

Shen Qingqian waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Here are the drawings for you. Take your time to look at them. I'm going to go back and rest."

However, after returning to her room, Shen Qingqian couldn't fall asleep even when she lay on the bed.

Thinking about what had happened in the past six months, she had only one goal, which was to work hard to make money and give herself and her family a good life.

But who would have thought that she would actually fall in love with a prince and offend the prime minister's daughter and the imperial concubine because of this. Things are really getting out of hand!

She was afraid that the days ahead would not be peaceful, so she had to prepare early and protect her family.

Thinking of this, she sat up and called Zhiqing and Zhizhu in.

"Miss, do you have anything to tell the servants?"

After spending such a long time together, Zhiqing and Zhizhu still like Shen Qingqian very much and respect her.

Shen Qingqian said: "Starting tomorrow, Zhiqing, you will stay with my sister-in-law and make sure to protect her and the baby in her belly.

Zhizhu, you are responsible for protecting my elder sister and Liangzi."

Shen Qingping and his wife lived separately from Shen Qinglan and her son, and Shen Qingqian was a little worried about them.

Shen Qingfeng and his wife lived in the backyard of the inn. There were many people here, and Shen Qingfeng himself was also a capable person, so Shen Qingqian didn't have to worry about them.

Zhizhu said: "Miss, what are you going to do? The master has ordered us to protect the girl!"

Shen Qingqian said: "Don't you know my current skills? I can protect myself."

Zhiqing also pulled Zhizhu's sleeve and whispered, "Zhizhu, we will just follow the girl's arrangements!"

"Yes, girl."

Seeing that the educated youth said so, Zhizhu said nothing more and agreed immediately.

The next morning, Zhiqing and Zhizhu went to their respective posts according to Shen Qingqian's arrangements.

Shen Qingqian asked Yingzi to go to Tai'an Town together. They first went to the county government office and asked County Magistrate Zhu to buy a hill next to Black Stone Mountain, spending more than 4,000 taels of silver.

This time, she really planned to build a villa.

Then the two of them went to the mining company again to buy more people. They needed more manpower to mine the coal, and they also needed people to build the villa.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian bought back all the young and middle-aged men in the Tai'an Town dental clinic, a total of more than a hundred people.

When they arrived at Black Stone Mountain, Shen Qingqian handed these people over to Scarface and Wang Liu, asking them to be responsible for the arrangements.

Wang Liu's leg injury has healed, but he still walks with a limp. After Wang Ke'er and Shen Qingping got married, he returned to Black Stone Mountain.

The Black Wind Tournament used to have hundreds of people, so it was very large and had plenty of room to accommodate all these people.

Shen Qingqian said to Scarface and Wang Liu: "Pick out the boys under 18 years old from these people and let them learn martial arts from Grandpa Sun. They can be bodyguards in the future.

For the older ones, ask them if they have any skills. Those with skills will be responsible for building houses, while those without skills will be responsible for digging coal. "

Scarface and Wang Liu have been managing the affairs of Blackrock Mountain and have done their job conscientiously, so nothing has gone wrong.

They now have a monthly salary of five taels of silver, and the food is sent by Shen Qingqian, so they don't have to spend money on food. The two of them naturally have to cherish the good life now, and there is no reason not to work hard.

Scarface said loudly: "Yes, don't worry, young lady, we will make sure everything is arranged properly."

"Yeah, okay! Tell me if you don't understand anything."

After arranging everything, Yingzi went to look for her grandfather, while Shen Qingqian found a quiet place and began to draw the design of the villa.

She wanted to design the villa like the military base in her previous life and build it into an impregnable fortress.

It took Shen Qingqian three days to complete this painting. After some revisions, he finally completed the design of the villa with satisfaction.

After handing the blueprints to Scarface and Wang Liu, and leaving some money for buying materials, Shen Qingqian took Yingzi back to Ping'an Town.

After Zhao Yifeng went to Yulin Peak, he naturally returned empty-handed. However, there were no assassins in Yulin Peak now, so it was very safe.

Seeing that Shen Qingqian finally came back, Zhao Yifeng said goodbye to her and returned to the capital.

After seeing Zhao Yifeng off, Shen Qingqian began to plan her future life arrangements. Thinking that there might be a war in the near future, she planned to buy some food and store it in case of emergency.

It is summer now, and it is not yet the harvest season. Ordinary people are short of food, so Shen Qingqian can only go to the grain shop to buy grain!

There are a total of six grain shops in Ping'an Town, but the grain stored in each of them is not much. They must be waiting to harvest new grain in autumn!

Shen Qingqian bought 5,000 kilograms of grain from each grain store, a total of 30,000 kilograms, and stored them in the cellars of Shen Qingping and Shen Qinglan's courtyards.

When Zhao Yifeng returned to the capital, Zhao Yichen had returned from the Summer Resort a day earlier than him.

Zhao Yifeng immediately went to find Zhao Yichen and told him that Shen Qingqian had been summoned into the palace by Concubine Dong.

Zhao Yichen was very annoyed after hearing this. He didn't expect that Shen Qingqian, who had clearly left the capital that day, would be intercepted by Concubine Dong and summoned into the palace to be bullied!

It was also his carelessness that failed to protect her!

Zhao Yichen was traveling with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager this time, so he found a suitable opportunity and told them that he wanted to marry Shen Qingqian as his concubine.

As a result, the emperor and the queen mother agreed that Shen Qingqian was not worthy of being Zhao Yichen's principal wife. But they both saw that Zhao Yichen really liked that girl.

Thinking that since she could catch Zhao Yichen's eye, the girl must be good, he reluctantly agreed to let Shen Qingqian be his concubine.

Zhao Yichen didn't say much. He knew that it was not easy to get the emperor and the empress dowager to agree to let Shen Qingqian be a concubine.

Things always have to be done step by step. He believes that when he brings Shen Qingqian to them, they will see Shen Qingqian's good points and feel that she deserves the position of the principal wife.

To take a step back, even if the emperor and the empress dowager do not agree, he will only marry Shen Qingqian. At that time, there will be no principal wife in the mansion, only concubines, and the two can still live together until old age.

Zhao Yichen was just happy about the success of his first step when Zhao Yifeng brought him this news!

So at the morning court the next day, when another minister suggested that they should agree to a marriage alliance with the Northern Rong, Zhao Yichen did not raise any objections as he had done before.

He also echoed, "Father, if you want to marry a foreign princess, the third princess has just reached the right age to marry, so let her marry the Northern Rong people!"

The emperor was very surprised when he heard what Zhao Yichen said. Although this matter was still under discussion, they had already made a decision, which Zhao Yichen also agreed with.

But why did he say that today?
