On the carriage, Shen Mengdie turned her head to look at her sister-in-law from time to time, her eyes were full of envy, and when she looked at it for the eighth time, she finally couldn't help but open her mouth: "Sister-in-law, my eldest brother is so good to you, my father is not so good to my mother."

"Third sister, don't talk about dad and mother like that." Shen Changfeng reminded.

Shen Mengdie pouted: "It was originally so."

Zhao Qianqian took Shen Mengdie's hand: "Okay, don't be serious, you two will find someone who is good to you in the future."

Shen Changfeng looked excited: "The lady I am looking for must be like my sister-in-law who can do business."

Shen Mengdie raised her chin: "I want to find someone who will hurt me, like my eldest brother is so good to my sister-in-law."

Shen Changfeng said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, look at my third sister, she is not ashamed at all, how can a daughter's family talk about the standard of finding a husband?"

Shen Mengdie pouted: "This is normal, men can mention the standard of finding a lady, why can't we women mention it?"

Zhao Qianqian watched the sister and brother pinch back and forth, very interesting.

Shen Mengdie was said by Shen Changfeng to lose her backbone, and she took Zhao Qianqian's hand: "Sister-in-law, tell me, am I really out of character like this?"

"Well, let my sister-in-law comment." Shen Changfeng also agreed.

Zhao Qianqian patted Shen Mengdie's hand: "I only represent my personal opinion, I think men and women should be equal.

What a man can do, a woman can do.

Why is it natural for a man to say the same thing, but a woman is not abiding by the way of a woman when she says it?

Why are men more noble than women?

Why can a man have three wives and four concubines, but not a woman, and if a man wants three wives and four concubines, then why can't a woman have three husbands and four men as well?

So, if a man can't tolerate what a woman does, then a man shouldn't do it. In turn, women should also think from the perspective of men."

Shen Changfeng gave a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law is so good!"

Shen Mengdie also agreed, she looked at Shen Changfeng: "Yes, my sister-in-law said it too well, so why can't I say it just now?"

The three of you said a word, and soon arrived at Qingyun Academy.

The guards at the gate recognized them and let them into the courtyard without hindrance.

The three of them stopped outside the study, and the guards went to report it.

"Lord Qiyu, the third lady of the Shen family, the fifth prince of Shen, and Miss Zhao ask to see."

The Emperor put down the ledger in his hand: "Let them in."

The guards retreated to the door: "Three, please come in."

"Uncle!" Shen Changfeng arrived before he arrived.

The emperor frowned: "You are too noisy, why didn't your eldest brother come?"

"My eldest brother was originally going to come, but he was called away as soon as he got into the carriage, so I asked my sister-in-law to come over, and he said that if you have anything, you can ask my sister-in-law, and the eldest brother also said that you are very easy to get along with and will not embarrass your sister-in-law."

Shen Changfeng said a long way, but he really expressed the two questions clearly, and slapped the emperor's ass by the way, so that the emperor would not be embarrassed by Zhao Qianqian.

"Since that's the case, then you two go out, Miss Zhao stays, come here, and serve tea."

Before Shen Mengdie could speak, she was ordered to be evicted by the emperor, she glanced at the emperor aggrievedly, and reluctantly retreated.

The Emperor, still wearing a hat covered with a veil, pointed to his left, "Sit."

Zhao Qianqian did not have the habit of kneeling and worshipping the ancients, but only bowed his head slightly: "Lord Xie."

The emperor opened his mouth first: "Should I call you Mrs. Shen, or should I call you Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Qianqian said casually: "Oh, whatever you like, you can do it!"

The emperor thought for a while: "I'll still call you Miss Zhao, I originally wanted to find Junchen to ask about Taiqing Cloud City, but I heard that he has something to deal with, some things, I want to ask you the same, and ask Miss Zhao to tell the truth."

Zhao Qianqian nodded: "My lord, please speak, as long as I know, I will definitely tell the truth."

The emperor snorted, "Who are you, who are some people in your family, your ancestors

What for?"

Zhao Qian smiled faintly: "My lord, I think you have already investigated these, I don't need me to say any more, just ask you what you don't know."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "What a cheerful person, then let me ask you, where did you get the money to buy the four mountains?"

Zhao Qianqian said: "Actually, it's just desperate, just looking for something to eat."

Speaking of this, Mr. An came in with a pot of tea, and read as he walked: "My lord, the old slave made you a new pot of tea, this tea was just bought by Master Chen from the academy."

He glanced at Zhao Qianqian: "Ouch, Miss Zhao is here, the old slave will serve you tea."

Manager An changed his face in the morning, since ancient times, he has been with the emperor like a tiger, and he has been able to follow the emperor for more than ten years, from a little eunuch all the way up to the chief manager, and he can't do it without some ability.

He poured tea, but the emperor did not chase him, so he stood aside and waited.

was interrupted by Chief An, and the emperor raised his hand to Zhao Qianqian: "Go on."

Zhao Qian said succinctly about what happened on the first day she walked through.

"At first, the Xianggong took me as a female cadre, and then it was verified that I was not a female cadre and released me again, and then later, the son of the county magistrate bought me a lot of walnuts, so I used the silver he used to buy spades and borrowed some silver from my Xianggong to buy Nanshan."

The emperor laughed and said, "What a desperate one, looking for something to eat, if you just want to have something to eat, it is enough to buy a South Mountain, why did you recruit many beggars, and later bought the other three mountains, and also formed a team to build a moat and a north-south bridge?"

Manager An's face changed, and he thought, "This South Gate Bridge and moat were really built by this girl? Your Majesty, don't joke with the old slave, our family doesn't want to really wash the feet of this girl!"

Zhao Qianqian knew that the emperor had been suspicious since ancient times, and he was afraid that he thought she had other ideas.

She pretended to be terrified: "My lord, I'm not recruiting troops to rebel! I just want to earn more money and live a life of abundant food and clothing.

I really don't want to be a beggar anymore, that kind of life is really not a human life, even the leftover soup has to look at other people's faces, there is no last meal, no food, no clothes, no money to treat the sick, no place to hide in the rain, no clothes to wear in the cold, sitting on the side of the street all day and putting a broken bowl and being disliked, no dignity at all, what is the difference between that kind of day and livestock?

So I just want to earn more money, but the power of one person is limited, so I find more people to help me earn money.

Generally, the labor cost is higher, but beggars are different, as long as they have a white-flour steamed bun, they can help you do your job well, if you give them a piece of meat, they can be happy for a month, so I will recruit beggars, and I earn more at a low cost.

Do you think, a person helps me earn three taels of silver a month, I open them for five hundred, and then borrow them three meals a day to eat, and one person costs up to two taels of silver a month, then one person can help me earn one or two silver, is it not that the more people I earn?

So I recruited a large number of beggars, just to help me earn money, and had absolutely no other ideas."

The emperor laughed and said, "I believe you for the time being, so can you tell me about repairing the moat and the north-south bridge?"

Mr. An glanced at his master with resentment, and thought, "My ancestor! She didn't even say anything, why do you still ask, if you fix it, you will fix it, you don't care who repaired it! Didn't you mean to find something for the old slave to do?"

Zhao Qianqian picked up the teacup and glanced at Manager An meaningfully, and curled the corners of his lips: "If you go back to Lord and Manager An, this moat and the second bridge between the north and south were indeed built by my organization."

Mr. An looked up at the ceiling and said silently in his heart: "What did you say, the old slave didn't hear a word, didn't hear it, just didn't hear it."

Zhao Qianqian looked at the emperor and asked, "You didn't come to Qingyun City just to ask me these two things, right? How have you thought about the eunuch?"

As soon as the emperor heard it, he knew that she already knew his identity, but since she didn't say it, it meant that she didn't say it now, and she wouldn't reveal his identity in the future.

"Now that you know, I hope you can keep it a secret."

Zhao Qianqian replied respectfully: "Naturally, it will be kept secret."

In fact, Zhao Qianqian had already guessed his identity when she saw Zhao Siye being respectful to this person, but it was not confirmed, and they did not make it public, so she naturally did not dare to expose it.

Manager An answered: "My master has traveled thousands of miles to Qingyun City, mainly because there have been several shocking events in Qingyun City in recent months!"

Zhao Qianqian took a sip of tea: "You go on."

What can be called a great event in the emperor's heart is related to the country and the people.

The emperor's biggest thing is to see the twists and turns of Qingyun City, and each time the twists and turns are either robbers or floods.

On that day, the head of security said that he was concerned about state affairs and that he was concerned about the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Manager An continued: "Before March, 50,000 taels of official silver were robbed, and the imperial court sent General Zhenguo to investigate the case, and it was quickly recovered by the official silver, but the robbers were not caught.

"Lord Qiyu, the fifth prince of the Shen family rode out on your horse." A guard suddenly came in and interrupted Mr. An.

Mr. Ann exclaimed, "Ouch! My ancestor, that's still it, Your Majesty, my lord, go and see!"

The emperor glanced at Mr. An unhappily: "Surprised, hurry up and see, don't have anything wrong."

The emperor continued, "I heard Junchen say that the person who retrieved the official silver is a girl surnamed Zhao, I think this person should be you, right?"

Zhao Qianqian secretly thought, this can't be admitted, and if he admits it, he will expose the secret of the backpack.

She smiled faintly: "How could it be me, if it was really me, I would have gone to ask you for a silver reward a long time ago, but no matter who she is, it is all in the past, this is just one of the small things, so what is the big thing that Manager An said?"

The emperor thought to himself, if you don't admit it, forget it, I can still save a reward.

The two of them have their own thoughts and plans.

The Emperor continued, "In the second month of the recovery of the official silver, General Zhenguo returned to the Imperial City to bring back two inventions, which were too important for the Qianqiu Kingdom."

Zhao Qianqian remembered that there were no new inventions, and he didn't know what the new inventions the emperor said.

"Oh, what is it?" She asked.
