He Mingxu and He Zhongli didn't know the situation, He Mingli stood on the side of the study and waited for his father in a half-understood way.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Taishi He walked in from outside.

He saw his three sons standing in a row in the study waiting for him, he came behind the three of them, walked back and forth twice, and finally came to He Mingli and glared at him, and then slapped him in the face.

"Brute, you don't do your business all day long, look at who our family has offended today! Do you know the consequences of offending him? You know? He Jing roared at He Mingli, hating to kill this unfilial son.

He Mingli knew that today's matter was beyond his scope of handling, and he knew that his father was going to kill Xiao Qing for him today, no matter how hard he was beaten by his father, he couldn't say a word more.

The other two elder brothers saw that He Mingli was silent, and after being beaten, they just lowered their heads, so they thought about taking the opportunity to attack him together.

"Third brother, how can you eat with the little county lord of the Pingning County Palace? When did you get together, I don't know if she is a thief, you wander around the major markets all day long, and you actually take a fancy to some residual famous prostitutes, why have you changed people in the past two days? He Xuli took this opportunity to shake out his previous affairs.

"Dad, the third brother offended Yu Xiucheng this time, so will the marriage between our family and the Yu family be gone? If their marriage is gone, the He family's status in the court will not be guaranteed, Dad, this matter can't be solved so simply, let's curry favor with Xiu Cheng as soon as possible. He Zhongli said in surprise.

"Dad, the third brother doesn't understand the crisis in our family, Dad, it's better to send the third brother back to the countryside so that he can make less trouble in Shangjing." He Xuli said angrily.

He Mingli listened to the words of the two elder brothers, and secretly laughed in his heart, these are his two own brothers, he respects them in everything, and never covets the favor they get, but when something happens, the two of them treat him like enemies.

He Jing saw He Mingli bowing his head and was silent, knowing the temperament of this son, but among the three sons, He Mingli studied the best, was a jinshi, and was appreciated by the saints, and he would definitely be a person who would have made achievements in the future, but the bad thing was that he was uninhibited, nostalgic, and a complete prodigal, if he was willing to learn the way of being an official, he would have arranged things for him a long time ago, and he would have become a member of the court.

"You give me back to Quzhou tomorrow, I don't want to see you again!"

He Mingli shook his head and raised his chin to look at He Jing: "Dad, I'm not leaving, Dad, since I ruined your business and angered Yu Xiucheng, then I will solve this matter, Dad, don't you want me to do more things for the palace like my eldest brother?" I thought about it, it's winter, I'll do the annual charcoal in the palace, and ......"

"Dad, Yu Xiucheng will not be offended because of this little thing, he works for the emperor, and he will not hate anyone because of his personal memory, but as far as I found, Yu Xiucheng seems to be very concerned about the little county lord of Pingning County Palace, I heard that they used to eat and live together in Yaoshan, and my father wanted to get rid of the little county lord because of his own selfishness, it was this incident that angered Yu Xiucheng, not that I got close to the little county lord and angered Yu Xiucheng!"

After Yu Xiucheng went to Qingfeng, he directly killed Hu Jin and others, which shows how much he hated those who wanted to hurt Xiao Qing.

When He Jing heard this, he was immediately stunned, and he Xuli and He Zhongli were also taken aback.

I didn't expect He Mingli to have such an opinion, but this is impossible!

"How so? A few days ago, Yu Xiucheng humiliated the little county lord for our family! He Xuli said.

"The little county lord's family is a thief, how could Yu Xiucheng be so stupid as not to choose Sister Ning, to choose that kind of widow, Yu Xiucheng is not stupid, you don't talk nonsense here, you don't want to go to the countryside to say it clearly, say these nonsense things, do you think my father and we are stupid?" He Zhongli reprimanded He Mingli.

But only He Jing didn't say a word, and even stared at his eyebrows and pondered.

After the two sons finished speaking, He Jing didn't say anything, thought for a moment, and decided directly: "If you want to take over your eldest brother's salary in the palace, I will let you go, but you have to promote the marriage of Yu Xiucheng and Sister Ning before the end of the year, as long as the He family has this marriage, are you afraid that you will not be able to win over Yu Xiucheng?" ”

Since he has analyzed the matter so thoroughly, he should have come up with a way to promote the marriage of the two families, as long as the marriage between the two families is settled, what else can't be done?

He Mingli said in surprise: "Dad, the emperor can't decide the marriage between Yu Xiucheng and Sister Ning, where can I go to promote it, aren't you deliberately trying to find a problem for me?" ”

He Jing smiled: "You can find that he is different from the little county lord, what is the difficulty in facilitating his marriage with Sister Ning?" Don't forget that in a few days, the Xiangfu feast, the feast is said to be celebrated by friends, but it is not actually for Yu Xiucheng to choose a wife, as long as you find a way to seize this opportunity, even if Yu Xiucheng wants to regret it, then the Yu family and the emperor will not allow him to come. ”

He Mingli thought about the feast at the Yu family three days later, and invited all the nobles from the upper families in Beijing, all of whom had women in their families who had not yet married.

Yu Xiucheng has so many choices, and there are so many famous ladies in Shangjing who are willing to marry him, their family must seize this opportunity to make the marriage of the two families settled.

"Okay, Dad, what do you plan and what do you need me to do, I will listen to you!" He Mingli had no choice but to agree.

At this time, He Xuli and He Zhongli still didn't understand why their father suddenly turned to the third brother, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, and their faces were gloomy and cold, but their father had already decided, and they couldn't say anything more.

Following

Xiao Qing asked Ma Xian and others to be brought to Beijing and arranged to live in Xishan Village.

She found three or four villagers to cook for a few people, and asked them to start cleaning up the caves, trees, and preparing to burn charcoal, Xiao Qing's money was almost all used on the title deed, and when cutting down the trees, Xiao Qing asked Jiang Zhang and the guest restaurant to borrow a lot of silver.

But there are also a few crucial pieces of silver, which is to get through the people in the palace and on Xintan Street, which requires a lot of silver, which is a big head.

Xiao Qing thought about it for a while, and he didn't know who he could borrow such a large sum of silver, fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.

I borrowed from place to place, and I borrowed for three days, but I didn't borrow much money.

On the third day, He Mingli came to urge Xiao Qing again, and he needed silver to tie up the relationship between the upper and lower levels.

But Xiao Qing still couldn't take it out.

First, she didn't know where the silver ended up, she didn't know if it was a relationship, or it was swallowed by He Mingli alone, and second, she really couldn't take out forty or fifty thousand taels of silver.

Finally, she thought of Yu Xiucheng.

There is no way, he is the richest person in Shangjing, and only he knows who needs to be counted in the palace.

Although she was reluctant to come to him, she still came, there is nothing more willing to do than to make money, anyone and everything is not important to her, making money can make her fulfilling.

At noon on this day, Xiao Qing came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and saw that the people at the door were hanging colorful lanterns and red ribbons, and he didn't know what happy event the Prime Minister's family was going to do.
