"Since the emperor still has a twist to be approved, then Weichen won't stay long. It's just that Wechen mentioned a few things before, and I still think that I should take care to deal with them, so Wechen should pay more attention and wait and see for the emperor. The rest didn't dare to disturb the emperor, and Weichen retired. ”

Seeing that Liu Ce was finally willing to get out, Gu Zhao actually didn't hear what he said, but just gave a vague "um", and then motioned for Liu Ce to pick up the fold he threw out, and then didn't look at him again.

Liu Ce did enough superficial work and made a big salute before slowly exiting the imperial study, but only then did he turn around, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Since the emperor has acquiesced, then the emperor has already allowed his next moves, and he will naturally not let go of the things mentioned before. After all, Su Mian went to dig the mud of the river for no reason, it was too weird, how could he pretend not to know at all?

And for all this, Su Mian and Gu Zhixing didn't know.

Although Gu Zhixing deliberately shirked in the past few days, he ignored many things, and he did spend more time with Su Mian in the palace all day long. Su Mian didn't say anything on the surface, but he felt happy in his heart, but seeing Gu Zhixing idle in the mansion all day, he also felt that this was not a good thing.

"Lord Wang, are you really not going to enter the palace today and not going to deal with affairs? Now, if you let others see this appearance, they will definitely think that you are a plaything. ”

Su Mian suddenly mentioned this, saying such serious words on his lips, but he picked up a colorful note in his hand, and while Gu Zhixing was not paying attention, it was stained with paste and stuck to Gu Zhixing's forehead, causing Zhihua and Xiaoyu to snicker.

Gu Zhixing also smiled softly, admitting defeat and letting Su Mian mess around, not minding whether he was really playing.

"With the wisdom of this king's mind, how can he be a plaything? Obviously, Ah Mian has been calculating me. On this playing of cards, how could I have lost Xiaoyu and Zhihua, it must be the three of you who have teamed up to deliberately cause this king to lose all the time. ”

Gu Zhixing clenched more and more pokers in his hand, which Su Mian was bored with and made himself. Originally, only he and Su Mian understood this thing, but now that Su Mian has taught Xiaoyu and Zhihua, these three people always join forces to let themselves lose.

Gu Zhixing was naturally willing to make Su Mian happy, so he had been cooperating, and now Gu Zhixing had lost too many games, and his face was covered with colorful notes, no matter who saw Gu Zhixing's appearance, he would feel that it was far from the majesty of the regent town on weekdays, and I was afraid that he couldn't help laughing.

Su Mian stuck out her tongue and sat back in her seat. She taught Xiaoyu and Zhihua to play with nature the easiest way to draw a turtle, so in private, the three of them were always secretly changing cards, and she also knew that Gu Zhixing saw it, but as long as Gu Zhixing didn't say it, then he deserved to lose, and it wasn't his fault.

"That's not right! The prince naturally said that you have the ability to win, but you have never won, so the prince himself lost. Since you have to admit punishment if you lose, and it's just a sticky note, and you haven't fined 10,000 taels of gold. ”

Seeing that Su Mian deliberately said this, Gu Zhixing shook his head with a smile, now that he looks like this, I am afraid that in the eyes of many people, he can't exchange ten thousand taels of imperial gold, and only Su Mian will say that it is completely worthless.

Xiaoyu and Zhihua saw that the relationship between the prince and Miss Su was so good, the two of them just glanced at each other and kept snickering, and the others didn't say much, so they could only accompany the two masters to make fun of boredom.

However, they can also see that the prince is indeed a lot more idle these days, and he is like two people who are busy with official business on weekdays.

But such a beautiful picture didn't last long, and after Su Mian played two more rounds, he yawned a little boredly, obviously absent-minded, and had no mind to play cards.

"Lord Wang, I want to go and see the mining of combustible ice in the river, although everyone has been going well these days, but for some reason the power is so much worse than I calculated before. If this combustible ice can really come in handy at today's efficiency, I'm afraid it will be winter, so it will be too late. ”

Although it is only halfway through the summer, Su Mian looks at the current technology, even if the combustible ice is salvage, it is strange and laborious, and he will have to purify it later, and try to find its suitable ignition point and the scope of application, which is indeed a very complicated process.

Gu Zhixing found out that Su Mian wanted to do other things, so he waved his hand, motioned to Xiaoyu and the others to accept all the cards on the table, chuckled and removed the notes on his face one by one, and finally instructed Su Mian.

"That's okay, Ah Mian will take a look if he wants to, I'll let Lu Zhe come to the mansion to discuss with me later, so I'll come to you later." Ah Mian must pay attention to safety when he is out alone, if something really happens, don't come forward yourself, remember to send someone back to tell me. ”

Thinking that it was not the first time for him to go out, but Gu Zhixing had to babble like this every time, Su Mian stuck out his tongue, and was even a little impatient, but he still nodded and agreed, knowing that after all, the other party was also a good intention.

"I know, then Wang Yi will discuss with the general first, and I will come when I go."

After Su Mian got Gu Zhixing's consent, she disappeared almost as soon as she finished speaking.

After coming to the river, seeing that the workers were still full of energy under the scorching sun, and kept diving to find the combustible ice they wanted according to their orders, Su Mian suddenly felt quite relieved.

Because he thought of going to the river, Su Mian went to the current skewer shop after leaving the palace, although he didn't make ice drinks like before, but he always prepared this edible ice cube. So Su Mian ordered people to make many portions of sour plum soup, intending to reward the workers of the river, and now it just came in handy.

"Big brothers, it's really hard, let's take a rest first, drink some sour plum soup to quench your thirst, but don't get heat stroke. I've really bothered you these days, and I'm grateful. ”

Su Mian was beckoning everyone to come over and rest at this time, and when the foreman saw Su Mian coming, he was naturally happy to practice and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello again and again. Su Mian was familiar with them, and was asking about mining, but he didn't expect that when everyone was resting, a group of people who were not good at coming came towards the river.

"Phew, disgusting, stinky! On such a hot day, you have to salvage these stinky mud and pile it up on the river, you sincerely don't want us to do business, right? Now that you have made this piece so stinky, everyone has to cover their noses when they pass by, what are your intentions! ”

Su Mian watched the group of people approaching with an unkind expression, and he was already vigilant. As the leader scolded and scolded, Su Mian stood up even more vigilantly, looking at the other party's dress, it should be a merchant doing business on both sides of the riverbank.

But Su Mian always felt that these people didn't come early or late, but they appeared when they came to check the progress, and they always felt that the other party had ulterior motives.

But now there is no need for Su Mian to come forward in person, the foreman of the package has already brought a few people who are tall and strong, and they look extremely difficult to mess with, although they did not come to the other party to fight hard, but it also made it clear that it was not someone else who could bully.

"This brother, we have something to say, the smell of this river mud is indeed heavier, but we have discussed it with the merchants of the river before, if it really affects the business, go to the Regent's Mansion to report normally, and you can receive subsidies."

It wasn't until she heard the contractor say this that Su Mian was surprised that Gu Zhixing was so thoughtful, and she didn't know that she could still receive a subsidy before. But I was sighing in my heart, but I suddenly heard a sound.

It turned out that the merchant not only did not rationalize well, but even kicked over their equipment for mining combustible ice, causing a commotion.

"Bah, that subsidy is not enough to stuff your teeth! Do you know how much money you can earn a day doing business on the river on weekdays? Just because you mine this river mud, not to mention affecting business, and even always blocking the river, do you have the right to do so? You really should be the regent and the king of heaven! ”

Whether it was a person with or without a heart to say this, when he heard it, he was deliberately provoking the relationship between the prince and the emperor, and Su Mian couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward.

Seeing that the man was a ruffian, after looking up and down, I really felt that he didn't look like a businessman except that he was dressed like a merchant.

"You want to make trouble on purpose, don't you? If you're really a businessman, it's really a big laugh! Since you said that you are doing business on the river, then I will go and ask the people from the government to cooperate with the investigation, and first register which merchant you are and how much money you have lost. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Su Mian said this, the opponent's sharpness was frustrated by three points. When they saw Su Mian's dress, they didn't need to look closely, they already knew who Su Mian was.

Although the people who took the lead were no longer as arrogant as they were just now, they knew that Su Mian was willing to come forward, and their purpose was half achieved, and they were immediately excited.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Su, Miss Su is so excited, is it because she really talked about the conversation? Yes, we are just grass people, and even if we do business, we are the lowest merchants, not as good as the regent. Now that the regent uses this river privately, has he asked the emperor what he means? ”

This question was not the turn of the person in front of him to ask, Su Mian was about to reprimand, but as soon as he said this, everyone who came with him was repeating the coaxing, and they all wanted to get a positive answer from Su Mian, but even if Su Mian was in a hurry, there was no way to really respond.

Because of what she knew, Gu Zhixing shouldn't have told Gu Zhao in detail, thinking that the time when she was planning to mine combustible ice was also the time when they were discussing the suppression of bandits.

Whether it was because he was too busy at the time, or because Gu Zhixing and Gu Zhao had a bad conversation later, how much Gu Zhao knew about this matter, Su Mian is now uncertain.
