Chapter 223 Did God give her money again?
"Borrowed it." Xiao Wujin said calmly.

"Borrow, who can lend you 12 taels of silver? Xiao Wujin, if you can afford it, which underground bank did you go to? As an official of the imperial court, you are playing with fire, no, with your life, do you know?"

Yan Shaoqing was extremely angry, pointed at Xiao Wujin and cursed.

"Why are you so angry? Who said I borrowed it from an underground bank?"

Xiao Wujin spoke calmly, with a slight smile on his face.

"Yan Shaoqing, just tell me what you can't do."

"You...you...you are too courageous!"

How could Yan Shaoqing care about Xiao Wujin and Shen Ru's affairs? With these more than 12 taels of silver, even he had to mobilize the Yan family's money in the bank. Who, who could take out such money at once? many?

"Xiao Wujin, have you found a new partner behind my back?"

Xiao Wujin wanted to laugh a little, but Yan Shaoqing looked disgusted.

"Is it Cui Ti?"

Seeing that Xiao Wujin did not deny it, Yan Shaoqing immediately said Cui Ti's name.

"Then Cui Ti, the Fang family is behind this. The Cui family is an aristocratic family in the Qinling area, but the Fang family is rich. Xiao Wujin, please tell me the truth, right?"

"Yan Shaoqing, you look like a jealous woman now!"

Xiao Wujin joked, "It's not the Cui family. Don't worry, I won't find other partners."

Shen Runa is a new daughter-in-law, which is different!
"Xiao Wujin, tell me, where did the money come from?"

"One hundred thousand kilograms of coarse salt is refined into fine salt. If you can sell the fine salt at that time, are you still afraid that you won't be able to pay back the money?"

Xiao Wujin said calmly, "Yan Shaoqing, so, do you want to take this job?"

Can you not answer it?Yan Shaoqing was so angry that he couldn't understand where Xiao Wujin had the courage to play such a big game.

"Um...is there any interest?"

Yan Shaoqing was angry but concerned and said: "There are no truly good people in this world. At least, no good people can have that much money!"

"I didn't say it."

Xiao Wujin's simple words made Yan Shaoqing murmur even more.

"If you are not interested in money, are you... interested in people? Xiao Wujin, you are Shen Ru's person, you can't do anything that would be sorry for her!"

"Yan Shaoqing, don't worry, even if I betray you, I won't betray Aru."

Xiao Wujin said jokingly.

Yan Shaoqing's face stiffened, but Xiao Wujin smiled a lot, and the man became softer. Could it be because of Shen Ru?
"What do you mean? I don't plan to pay back my money?"

After a pause, Yan Shaoqing couldn't help but ask.

"No, it just takes longer."

Xiao Wujin spoke very righteously, which made Yan Shaoqing so angry that she almost wanted to curse again.

"Tell me in advance and I will go back to investigate. Who is so bold as to plot against my Yan family in Liangzhou!"

Yan Shaoqing left cursing.

Shen Ru spent the past few days taking turns checking at the pasture, cotton field, and stone candle workshop. Finally, Cui Xi and An Qiao accompanied him to the mountains where Heishui was discovered to check the situation.

"Miss, we have built a wall here and dug a well to make sure that the black water will not flow into the farmland."

Perhaps due to Fang Jin's influence, Shen Ru looked at this small hilltop and thought that he should go to Lin Zilin to have a look. What if someone was hiding again?
"Why are there so many honeysuckle trees growing here?"

Shen Ru had never walked all over this mountain before. On the east side, there was a very dense patch of honeysuckle, and the branches were now full of golden flowers.

"Miss, do you have anything to say about this honeysuckle?" An Qiao asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. You can dry it and make tea to drink. It can clear away heat and detoxify."

Shen Ru didn't pay too much attention, he just felt that the honeysuckle grew particularly well here.

"Then I'll ask the villagers down the mountain to help pick it later."

An Qiao responded, since it was something the eldest lady had promised, it must be right.

Shen Ru looked around inadvertently, and for some reason, he felt that there seemed to be some light shining under the honeysuckle tree, but as the branches were blown by the wind, he could no longer see it.

"You two wait a moment, I'll go down and take a look."

As Shen Ru said that, she ducked, passed through the honeysuckle tree, and slid down the hillside.

There seemed to be exposed rocks on the hillside in the direction of sunrise. Perhaps they had fallen off due to the strong wind. Shen Ru felt that they were shining brightly in the light!
A thought suddenly came to her mind, could it be that her money left too quickly and God sent her money again?

She is not bragging, she has been really lucky since she came to this world.

"Anqiao, Cuixi, come here and dig out some rocks for me."

Shen Ru shouted.

Not long after, Shen Ru returned home with a basket of stones.

"Miss, is there anything strange about these stones?"

Cui Xi and the three of them sat together, looking at a basket of stones, expressing confusion.

Shen Ru's mind was wandering, this silver mine must be mixed with other minerals. It would be really difficult to extract the silver from the ore!
First of all, someone has to dig the mountain. Generally speaking, the mine must be ten feet or even twenty feet below the mountain. Then it requires a lot of equipment. What should I do? I can't do this alone!

"Um... Cuixi, go to the Governor's Mansion and invite Mr. Xiao to come and sit at home."

Shen Ru struggled in her heart for a while and decided to share it with Xiao Wujin.

The top of the mountain belongs to her. Even if a silver mine is dug, it still belongs to her!
"Miss, can Mr. Xiao come?"

Cuixi asked in confusion, Mr. Xiao is the governor, can he be called over?
"He said that I had something very important to tell him and asked him to come quickly."

She couldn't go to the governor's house too often. Shen Ru felt that she had to let Xiao Wujin feel the way others looked at her.

Cuixi went out anxiously.

"Miss, you haven't said anything about this stone yet?"

An Qiao and Yaoyao felt that it must have something to do with the stone.

"Hey, you eldest lady, I seem to have had a bad luck with my fortune."

Shen Ru sighed, "Look, do these stones have silver powder?"

"Where honeysuckles flourish, there should be silver in the soil. But this mine should be underground. Maybe these stones have been exposed by wind and rain."

Shen Ru said patiently, "Last year, the earth dragon turned over on the road. I don't know if Liangzhou was affected. It may be because of this that these stones were turned over."

Yaoyao and An Qiao took a closer look, and it seemed that there was really silver in it!

"But miss, since you have discovered a silver mine, why do you want to tell the governor?"

An Qiao asked in confusion: "The eldest lady invites the governor over, it's not just for tea!"

"Smart, this cake is too big. I can't eat it by myself. My father is obsessed with repairing ancient books. It's hard for my mother and aunt to come forward to do this. Xiao Wujin... well, you will know about it later."

Shen Ru let it slip and Xiao Wujin was hers. Sooner or later this would be known.
