Xia Zheng was directly demoted two levels and became a civil and prose official with no real power, and a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu.

The emperor was really ruthless, and he was demoted to this position, even if he kept his life and continued to attach himself to the six princes, it was useless.

Prime Minister's Mansion, in the study.

"Lord Wang, I told you the news, whether you can seize this opportunity to find the treasure in one fell swoop is up to you." The prime minister held the hot tea and said to the tall man opposite.

The man is thin, not tall, and his appearance is three points similar to that of today's emperor, but it is different from the majesty of the emperor, his eyebrows and eyes are sunken, and his deep black eyes are a little cold, obviously too indulgent in affairs.

King Mu Jun lowered his head and smiled, his voice dyed a little sluggish: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, when have I failed in doing things, but the informant outside you is reliable?" ”

He was talking about Qi Lichen.

At the mention of Qi Lichen, the prime minister sneered: "It's just a wild dog with some ability, as long as it's tied with a chain, I'm not afraid of disobedience." ”

The prime minister didn't know Qi Lichen's true identity, he only thought he was a person who climbed up for power.

For this kind of person, the prime minister has always been able to grasp it.

"Hahaha, that's good." King Mu laughed loudly.

It's just that how much of this smile comes from sincerity, I don't know.

Qixian County has been blowing strong winds for three days, occasionally mixed with a little drizzle, and finally waited until it cleared, and this Xie Yuan came to the door again.

Xi Duyun had already promised to open another Sugar Heart Pavilion near Xie Yuan's house, anyway, Xie Yuan went out for money, and he promised again, as long as he made a profit, he would divide the account fifty-fifty, and if the loss was counted, it would be counted on their Xie family.

Of course, Xi Duyun doesn't like people who like to take advantage of others, and she will pay for the monthly money of the waiter in the Tangxin Pavilion branch, so she doesn't have to let the Xie family come again.

Xie Yuanwai is naturally willing to do this, anyway, this sugar heart pavilion is opened for his daughter, even if he has been losing money, he is not afraid, their Xie family has not much else, but a lot of silver.

"The outside is coming quickly, if you are one step late, I will go out." Xi Duyun smiled and led him into the main hall.

There is no one in this family, she is also bored these days, Qi Lichen is not in the mansion, she went out to inquire about the whereabouts of the treasure, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come back in a month or two.

These days, she has to develop her career well, and one day in the future, she will also become a rich person.

"I'm not here in a hurry." Xie Yuanwai entered the main hall and sat down directly, and took out a silver ticket, "This is the silver for the branch of the Sugar Heart Pavilion." ”

Cuiyun took the silver ticket.

Xi Duyun glanced at the silver ticket, blinked, and was a little surprised: "Except for the rent of the store, I don't need so much silver." ”

This is five hundred taels of silver, which is enough to decorate two Sugar Heart Pavilions, and besides, the annual rent of the Sugar Heart Pavilion is less than one hundred taels of silver.

"Oh, I forgot to say it." Xie Yuanwai patted his head, "There is still the silver I ordered for snacks, two months." ”

The girl in their family just likes the dim sum of the Sugar Heart Pavilion, and she feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat a few strong pieces every day, and now, even he, a man, likes to eat it.

No, order more, it just so happens that the waiter in the Sugar Heart Pavilion also has a door-to-door service, and they just save them from running errands to buy it.

"It's been more than two months, and I can't take it." Xi Duyun asked Cuiyun to return the silver ticket, she is not one to take advantage, no matter how big it is.

Xie Yuanwai saw him refuse, and immediately dissatisfied: "Oh, sister, what are you polite to me, you can accept it, besides, I haven't thanked you for helping me get the foundation of the southeast piece of land, what is this bit of silver." ”

Xi Duyun: "......"

Why, I changed my name?

Xi Duyun's face changed suddenly when she looked at Xie Yuanwai, when she listened to the quarrel between him and Gu Shopkeeper that day, she felt that this Xie Yuanwai was quite powerful, and now it seems that this is not only powerful, but also a little funny.

She couldn't refuse, but she had to accept the silver ticket.

Here she was talking to Xie Yuanwai, and suddenly, there was a burst of footsteps outside.

Who's coming again?

She frowned and looked over, only to see a blue ink-colored robe suddenly appear in front of her.

I don't know. Beautiful

"Madam, Mr. Xu said that I have something to ask you about Miss Twilight." The maid said.

"Twilight, what's wrong with Twilight." Xi Duyun became nervous.

The maid withdrew.

Xu Bu stood at the door, looked at the people in the main hall, and turned his head slightly to show politeness.

Xie Yuanwai nodded, but he was shocked by the man's appearance and bearing.

In Qi County, I haven't heard of such a son with such appearance and temperament in addition to Qi Juren.

I just heard the maid in the Qi Mansion say that there is something about Xi Duyu. I heard Miss Xi say before that she has a younger sister, because she is introverted and quiet and doesn't like to talk, so she hired a teacher to teach at home.

Isn't that the one?

Xie Yuanwai inadvertently glanced at Xu Ming's body, well, his demeanor is gentle, his appearance is handsome, he is really a rare handsome son.

It's also good if you can get to know your own daughter.

He thought with joy in his heart.

Xu didn't know that he was standing at the door, and he didn't mean to go in, Xi Duyun saw that he didn't come in, and he knew in his heart, and said "unaccompanied" to Xie Yuanwai and then went out.

"But what's the urgency?" She gets straight to the point.

Xu Buzhi glanced inside, and saw that the man didn't look this way, so he said, "Your Highness asked me to ask when Gongzi Qi will come back." ”

Looking for Qi Lichen?

"Isn't the problem of flooding all solved, what do you want him to do?"

After a silence, Xu Bucai said: "It's for the matter of building the river embankment, the people sent down by the previous superiors were imprisoned by the emperor because of their unfavorable work, and now His Royal Highness is not manpowered, and it is a little difficult to build the river embankment." ”

This matter is not a confidential matter, and it is understandable for Xi Duyun to know.

Moreover, the last time His Highness and Qi Lichen discussed the matter, they did not deliberately avoid Xi Duyun.

"There aren't enough people." Xi Duyun was happy, "Young Master Xu, you are in the right place today." ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Could it be that she can help herself? He guessed in his heart.

"I happen to have someone here, recommend it to you." She raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Yuanwai in the main hall.

Xu didn't know and looked over.

Sensing the two gazes, Xie Yuanwai was a little uncomfortable, and just after drinking two sips of tea, he turned his head and saw two people staring at him at the door.

Xu Buyi entered the main hall, and Xi Duyun introduced each other for the two.

"Xie Yuanwai's project is guaranteed, and the restaurant in the southeast is built by Xie Yuanwai's family." Don't have a deep meaning.

Xu Buzhi nodded, knowing in his heart.

The land in the southeast is built as a post station, and since the people of the imperial court are relieved to hand over the post station to a private person to build, they must also be relieved, so there should be no problem in building the river embankment.

Thinking like this, Xu Bu didn't have any worries in his heart.

The two quickly reached a consensus, Xu didn't know that he was looking for someone, but now that he has found it, he naturally wants someone to report to Gu Jianglin, after all, he is one of the introductions, and the final decision has to be decided by Yu Guangzhong himself.

When Xu didn't know how to leave, Xie Yuanwai was a little excited.

The affairs of Zhangzhou City are supervised by the two princes, if this matter can be done well, the Xie family's business will not have to find others in the future, and others should automatically come to the door.

Of course, he is not blindly confident, no, Miss Xi said, as long as it is built according to the drawings given by others, there is no need for them to draw their own drawings or anything.

In this way, it also happens to save a lot of things.

"I didn't expect the girl to recognize such a character, this Mr. Xu, I don't know which son's son?" Xie Yuanwai looked at the direction in which Xu didn't know to leave, and couldn't help but ask.
