Chapter 259: Abandoning Iron Mine
When the first riddle appeared, Chu Qiaosi was stunned in place, not knowing what this riddle was. She racked her brains to think about it, but she still couldn't figure it out.
An Lan smiled quite calmly instead.
"Boss, your lantern riddle is a little too simple, what is written here is a fruit, it should be grapes!" The moment An Lan blurted out, the boss exclaimed.
Chu Qiaosi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had indeed told An Lan that this was a grape!
"yes, how did I forget the grapes, this should be the grapes, boss next."
Chu Qiaosi was very interested, and when the boss opened the second riddle, Chu Qiaosi still didn't guess correctly, but An Lan guessed it again.
The next few lantern riddles were all guessed by An Lan, and the boss's face instantly darkened, but he also abided by the rules of the game and wanted to give the ten taels of gold to An Lan.
"Boss, these ten taels of gold are counted, why don't we choose a few lanterns here." An Lan smiled and spoke.
It's all open to do business, it's not easy for anyone, and she doesn't lack these ten taels of gold, they are just playing with a kind of interest.
Chu Qiaosi and Xia Jingjing didn't mean to take the ten taels of gold, so they chose a beautiful lantern, thanked the boss and went to the river to play with the lantern.
"Some people say that if you put this lantern in the river and make a wish sincerely, you can get the blessing of God and become a family with your beloved." A strong smile appeared on the corner of Xia Jingjing's lips, and when she said this, she was still a little shy.
Chu Qiaosi next to him instantly discovered that this girl should have a favorite person, and An Lan obviously saw through this matter.
"In that case, why don't we put this lantern into the river and make a wish sincerely."
Chu Qiaosi was a little annoyed at the moment.
"You two are too much, you all have a sweetheart, and I don't! You two girls dare to bully me, see how this princess beats your board......" Chu Qiaosi joked with the two of them, and wanted to stretch out his hand to beat them now.
Seeing that Chu Qiaosi was going to beat them, An Lan and Xia Jingjing screamed quietly and immediately ran away. Chu Qiaosi immediately chased after the two and wanted to snatch their lanterns away.
"Don't run!" Chu Qiaosi laughed, ignoring any princess image, and was in full swing with excitement.
The three young girls frolicked by the river in this way, and for a while became the envy of many people.
Played until the moon rose, the three of them left, An Lan and Chu Qiaosi returned to the house, and Xia Jingjing escorted back alone.
Chu Xingze has been expanding his power in the following time, and has attracted many court ministers for his use.
That night, Chu Yunming was beautiful in his arms, planning to sleep well, but who knew that the door was slammed hard.
"These brutes."
He scolded angrily, sat up from the bed, and strode to the door, and found that he was one of his attendants.
"What happened? So flustered? There was a lot of worry between his brows, but the man was overjoyed.
"Congratulations! It was a great event, for our men had dug up an iron mine, which was so rich in iron that it would make a fortune if we sold it to a foreigner. His men whispered softly in his ear.
Hearing this, Chu Yunming was overjoyed, and he didn't have the intention of lingering with this beauty, so he directly got dressed and went over with him to check.
When he saw this huge iron mine, Chu Yunming laughed excitedly,
"Sure enough, God help me! With this iron mine, it will be even smoother in the future, and God loves me so much Chu Yunming. Chu Yunming was even more excited, and he was happy here for a full quarter of an hour before his excitement subsided a little.
The men under him had another concern at this time.
"It stands to reason that we should report the discovery of iron ore to the emperor. But how are we supposed to take some of it now, without God knowing? "The subordinates knew what Chu Yunming was thinking.
His words made Chu Yunming laugh indifferently, and he was quite disdainful of this housekeeper.
"Steward Wang, are you following me for the first day? How can you not understand my temperament, how can we report such a good thing to my father, you immediately let these people block the news, this matter must not be revealed to anyone. If we can get this iron ore alone, we will definitely be able to profit a lot from it, and I will see who will dare to oppose me at that time! ”
He had a smug smile on his face, and he couldn't swallow it at the thought of those people suppressing him everywhere.
After hearing this, the butler knew what to do.
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, the little ones will definitely keep their mouths shut." The butler smiled and left, and went to finish the matter.
Chu Yunming went back happily and continued to hug the beauty for fun.
However, this matter was still leaked, and the next morning, the people from the household department had sent someone to seal it up.
The housekeeper hurriedly ran back and reported the matter to Chu Yunming.
"What do you say? was discovered by those mediocre people in the household department? How the hell do you do things, how many times have I told you that you must keep your mouth shut......" Chu Yunming was annoyed in his heart, and he slapped the housekeeper with a loud slap.
Then he kicked him in the leg several times before he was done.
The butler stood tremblingly to the side, apologizing vigorously, but he was still helpless, not knowing what to do. Chu Yunming grabbed the cup hard and fell to the ground, his eyebrows moving slightly.
"The only way to do this is to give up the iron ore!"
Chu Yunming sighed, made such a decision, and immediately changed his court clothes to meet the emperor.
"The emperor is here today, what is the so-called?" Glancing at Chu Yunming, the emperor didn't feel much, and he didn't treat this son very well.
"Father, my son, I have something big to do today! Erchen found a huge iron mine thirty miles outside the capital, presumably it should be someone from the household department who is in charge, but I don't know why the people from this household department have not reported it to his father for a long time, so Erchen felt strange and had to report it first! ”
General Chu Yunming's good army completely showed his uninformed side.
Hearing this, the emperor's face instantly darkened to the extreme.
"Is that really the case?"
"Father, this matter is true, the son does not dare to lie, this is what the son has seen with his own eyes, is it true that the people in the household department have not reported it to the father?" He pretended to be bewildered to the extreme.
The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table hard.
"These people are really excessive, could it be that they want to annex them?"
The emperor suddenly had such a frightened thought in his heart, if it weren't for that, how could they be reluctant to report it? Target. Looking at the emperor's angry appearance, a strong smile appeared on the corner of Chu Yunming's lips. In order to make his father completely suspicious of the people in the household department, he once again added fuel to the fire, so that the corruption of the county officials was discovered, and this person was recommended by the household soldiers, and the household soldiers were thoroughly investigated, and the county officials were able to be beheaded all over the house.
