Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 259 Invitation

Su Feng left the capital with ten servants, and quietly went to the mountain that Ningqing bought in Li Village.

"Young master, this servant has led people to investigate, this mountain is nothing special." Liang Yang said.

"What about ordinary things? What can make ice may not be special things, maybe it's something we don't usually pay attention to." Su Feng said.

"This slave has also been investigated, and nothing has been mined in large quantities."

Su Feng didn't take it seriously: "Go up the mountain."

"Yes."

Liangyang held an umbrella for Su Feng, and the group entered the mountain without haste.

Liangyang and a few servants carefully inspected it all the way. After walking for an hour, they covered most of the mountain.

Liang Yang said: "Eldest young master, can you take a sedan chair?"

"No need." Su Feng was panting slightly from the heat, and his hairline was wet with sweat, but he still had a relaxed demeanor, which did not damage his demeanor in the slightest.

Three hours later, Su Feng visited the entire mountain himself, but he still didn't see why.

Liang Yang said discouragedly: "It's still the same as what I saw last time, there is nothing wrong with it."

"On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it!" I saw a proud smile on Su Feng's handsome and clear face: "But what about the inside?"

"inside of?"

"Take a closer look here, the red mud ten feet away, the white behind the mountain..." Su Feng pointed out a total of five places.

"Yes!" Liangyang and his group smiled, and followed Su Feng's words without any doubt.Because they believe in their master!My master's vision has always been accurate, and he has never let them down!

They picked up shovels and other tools to check immediately. After a quarter of an hour, Liang Yang, who was checking the white crystal in front of Su Feng, shouted: "Master! We found it! There is a hole here!"

"We found it too!"

"So are we!"

The people who went to check the red mud and the white soil on the back mountain also ran back one after another in surprise: "Master! We saw that the inside of these things has been mined! A big hole was dug above, and the inside was mined! Scared If it collapses, fill it up with stones! Fill it back with a layer of the same soil!"

Liang Yang couldn't help sighing: "What a scheming! That Miss Ning, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, is so scheming!"

Really thoughtful!Su Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, fifteen or sixteen years old?He has three younger sisters of the same age, but what are they doing?It's just a fight over a few jewelry and cosmetics!She is obviously the daughter of his Su family, why is she so vulgar, she can't learn anything from her!
"But no matter how scheming she is, she's a womanizer after all, so she's not as good as the young master!" Liang Yang said hastily.

Another servant named Liang Ri said: "Even if she is born a male, she is still not as good as the young master! See how she is doing so covertly, even we have lied to her, but once the young master comes out, she has nothing to hide. "

"Okay, go and visit the rest of the mountains." Su Feng said.

What Ning Qing bought was not just a single hill, but a continuous piece!
Su Feng wandered around several hills until it was almost dark, and saw that she had used this method to mine the mud and rocks he had found on the first hill. In addition, he also found several kinds of plants that were covered by her. Picked it up in a very subtle way.

A group of people went down the mountain and returned to Zhanjing, just in time to see Ning Qing shopping in the night market on the street.

Su Feng walked over: "Miss Ning, let's meet again."

Ning Qing looked up: "What's the matter?"

Su Feng was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Today, my young master went to Li Village! It's very rewarding!"

After speaking, he turned around and left.The dozens of servants around him all looked proud, and cast a mocking and contemptuous glance at Ning Qing: "It's 100 years too early to fight with our young master!"

"Girl!" Hui Ping and Chun Juan's expressions changed drastically.Because they all know that saltpeter was mined in Li Village!

Ning Qing was covered with a veil, so she couldn't see her expression, only her pair of clear and beautiful eyes were calm and unwavering, and she seemed to be absent-minded and said: "What do we use to make ice?"

"Saltpeter!" Chunjuan said worriedly.

"Then how many things have we mined?"

"There seems to be more than a dozen kinds!" Chunjuan tilted his head and thought for a while.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, but then darkened in the next second: "The girl is misleading him? But if he tries everything, he will soon know that saltpeter is the only way to make ice."

"Let's wait and see!" Ning Qing said lightly before turning around and leaving.

……

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.Hui Ping came to open the door, she was slightly surprised when she saw Mrs. Jian Wuhou, and saw that there was a rather handsome man over eighteen or nineteen years old behind her, her face sank.

"Girl, Mrs. Jianwuhou is here." Hui Ping led people to the living room. "Please sit down, my girl will come out immediately."

Mrs. Jianwuhou sat down, and the man also sat down. He looked around nervously and saw that the room was very elegantly decorated, but when he thought that Ning Qing was a disfigured woman, he curled his lips in disgust.

After a while, I saw a very maturely dressed woman in deep purple clothes coming out.Even so, she has exquisite muscles and bones, a pair of watery eyes outside the veil, and clear eyebrows, she is a stunning beauty at a glance!

The man couldn't help taking a deep breath, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit unwilling when he thought of Ning Qing's appearance under the veil!Originally, he should have married a stunning beauty, but unfortunately, his appearance was ruined!

But he didn't think about it, if it's not disfigured, is it his turn to marry?Of course, even if his face is disfigured, it's not his turn to marry!
"I've seen Mrs. Jianwuhou." Ning Qing bowed respectfully.

"Get up! They are all from my own family, so why not be polite." Mrs. Jianwuhou hurriedly got up and went to help herself.

Ning Qing sat down, picked up her tea, and stopped talking.

The scene was cold for a while, Mrs. Jianwuhou's round face was a little embarrassed, she couldn't find a word for a while, so she could only say: "This is my fourth son, named Yao Gaoyuan."

"Oh." Ning Qing said calmly, and looked up at Mrs. Jianwuhou: "And then?"

Then what?Mrs. Jianwuhou choked, of course she wanted you to marry him!But it's really hard to say this kind of thing too plainly, so I had to say: "You are all alone, you are all your own, and your mother entrusted me to take care of you. Your Brother Gaoyuan, he will take good care of you? "

Ning Qing looked surprised: "Hey, didn't the lady entrust it to the madam? Why did the madam bring another man here? Could it be that she wants to ignore me and give me to someone else?"

Mrs. Jianwuhou's face froze, and when she was about to speak, Ning Qing smiled and said, "Hehe, you're just joking! I don't need food and clothing! Don't bother Madam to take care of it!"

"This... Your mother entrusted me. You are a girl, how can you be left alone, I have to come and see you." Mrs. Jianwuhou's mouth was a little stupid, so she had to repeat a few words over and over again.

"Since that's the case, it's fine for Madam to come. After all, I'm the only woman here." That means, don't bring a foreigner here!
Mrs. Jianwuhou choked and didn't know what to do. Seeing Mrs. Jianwuhou's clumsy tongue, Yao Gaoyuan quickly said: "Because the girl is a woman and has no male master, it is very inconvenient to do things. Many things are difficult for my brother." I can help you."

Hui Ping's face turned blue, what does this Yao Gaoyuan mean?Did he mean to say that he wanted to help Ning Qing exercise her rights as the host?How shameless!
"There's nothing to help you." Ning Qing said lightly.

Yao Gaoyuan's complexion turned a little pale: "Why not? It's not good for a daughter of yours to show her face outside all day. If there is anything, I can do it for you."

"I'm used to showing my face, I don't need your help!" Ning Qing directly refused.

Yao Gaoyuan was furious, even if he was a bastard, he was still a bastard of the Hou family!And she's just a merchant girl!And he was disfigured, how dare he slap him in the face like this!

"Miss Ning! This son is the son of the Hou family!" Yao Gaoyuan said.

"Oh, Mr. Hou's Mansion! Do you want that girl to call you Your Highness?" Ning Qing looked at him coldly.

"You..." Yao Gaoyuan became angry with embarrassment, because even if he is the son of the Hou family, he is not the prince!It's just a white body!Not superior!

"Ma'am!" Ning Qing stood up and looked at Mrs. Jianwuhou coldly: "Your Majesty asked you to take care of me more, but she didn't ask you to embarrass me! If you want to take care of me, you have to ask Do I need to be taken care of! If you really want to, Madam will come to see me as often as you like."

Mrs. Jianwuhou blushed, "I just brought him here to see if you need his help."

"No, thank you." Ning Qing smiled.

Yao Gaoyuan's face turned dark, but he held back when he thought that his purpose was to marry her, not to fight.If he marries her, he will have a large dowry from her!It doesn't matter if she is ugly, if she has money, she still worries about not having a woman!No matter how strong a woman is, she will be a wife after she gets married!
"Girl, didn't you say you're going to the ice shop?" Hui Ping saw that Mrs. Jianwuhou was a cowardly woman, and that the bastard was jealous, so she unceremoniously issued orders to chase away guests.

"Ma'am, my daughter has something to do." Ning Qing stood up.

"Well, you are busy, you are busy!" Mrs. Jianwuhou stood up awkwardly. "Yuaner, let's go."

Yao Gaoyuan's face turned dark.But when he stood up, he put on a smiling face again, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Ning, you were so abrupt just now!"

"Please, both of you." Ning Qing only made a gesture of invitation.

Madam Jianwuhou looked a little flustered.After leaving the door, Mrs. Jianwuhou said: "I went into the palace to return to the imperial concubine."

"Don't, mother." Yao Gaoyuan said: "I believe I can do it. I came to the door suddenly today, maybe it was too abrupt and scared her."

What if the imperial concubine and empress think that he can't handle it and let other bastards come?This piece of fat landed on his head with great difficulty, he didn't want to just give it away!

"This... well. You can try again." Mrs. Jianwuhou hesitated and agreed.

Yao Gaoyuan glanced at Mrs. Jianwuhou disdainfully.This aunt is really useless!She is obviously Mrs. Hou, but she can't even cure a little girl!He was sent away in two or three strokes!If it weren't for a mother-in-law who defended her in the early days, now she has two capable sons, she would have been pulled down a long time ago!
After the two left, Chunjuan said with a green face, "It's not a good time!"

Hui Ping said bitterly: "Shameless! I almost got that wolf's ambition engraved on his face! Don't say he is a concubine of the Hou family, it is just... hum!"

In the next few days, Yao Gaoyuan came every day to deliver something and pass on a message, but he couldn't even meet Ning Qing's shadow.Ning Qing hid at home, neither going out nor going to the store.As soon as he came, let He's mother stop him outside the door, take his things and ask him to leave.

……

In a certain workshop of the Su family, Su Feng, who always had a smile on his face, was so gloomy that water dripped out.

"Hasn't the experiment been successful yet?" Su Feng asked coldly.

"I'm sorry, young master..." the workshop steward said timidly.

Ever since he went to Li Village to bring those things back, Su Feng has been constantly experimenting with how to make ice!

He knows that making ice is not so easy!It must come in a certain proportion!And since ice is to be made, water is inseparable!So, just put those ingredients in the water!
After trying thousands of times, I finally melted the materials in my hands into water in a certain proportion, and successfully made a plate of water freeze!
Su Feng was pleasantly surprised!But he found that his ice couldn't get into his mouth at all!
As soon as you eat these ices, you will have strong diarrhea!I almost pulled my intestines out!Inedible at all!
He had no choice but to try to dissolve the antidiarrheal medicine in water. Although the diarrhea was stopped, there were other poisoning symptoms!

So, he tuned the proportions again!But no matter how he tries, he will either suffer from diarrhea and poisoning, or he will not be able to freeze!

Although he has tested that the main ice is that kind of white, spar-like thing, but he can't make the ice non-toxic!
Although these ices can also be used to cool down, their Su family is the leader of Zhanjing. If he can also study how ice is made, it will be his ability and be praised by others!But if the ice he makes cannot be eaten, people will laugh at him for imitating it, and even imitating it is completely different!They have lost all face of the Su family!

Which ratio is wrong?Could it be that something is missing?Su Feng asked people to go up the mountain to search again, but they couldn't find it.

"Master, those things might not be on the mountain at all, maybe the most important secret recipe was brought by her from Tiansheng." Liangyang said. "Or, find someone to check out the ice shop."

"No need." Su Feng said coldly: "Even if she won't hand over the secret recipe of ice making to Concubine Yao, Shui Jingnian will send someone to guard her shop. It's difficult to get in."

"Then what should we do? Do we just let her roam around our Su family's territory for nothing? Or, just do one thing and keep doing the other..." Liang Yang's eyes flashed coldly.

"Hmph! Could it be that I, Su Feng, can't beat a woman?" Su Feng gave Liang Yang a cold look.Only the losers will kill in anger!
Liangyang was startled, and secretly regretted: "The slave didn't mean that."

"Just wait and see!" Su Feng's eyes flashed with a playful stern look, and he laughed: "Ning Qing, right! I have to praise her for her good skills! But it's just good skills! I want Master Ben Playing, she is still young! Didn’t she just see if the young master can learn it? Haha, if you can’t learn it, you can’t learn it! Anyway, this young master is doing business, not learning art! She is so precious to her eating bowl , the young master asked her to hand it over on her own initiative! Liangyang, inform the Third Highness, don't miss this girl at the business meeting in a month's time!"

Su Feng said with a sinister smile.

"Yes!" Liang Yang's heart trembled, and he secretly prayed for Ning Qing!

Because whenever my young master showed such a smile, someone would lose everything and lose everything!And there are no more than three people who the young master treats like this!

To make my young master so serious, Miss Ning, this trip is really worthwhile!
……

Ning Qing soon received the invitation card for the business meeting banquet. Looking at the gilded red card, Ning Qing raised her eyebrows: "The business meeting banquet, what is that?"

"It was a banquet held for the great merchants in Zhanjing." Chunjuan said, "Because of the lack of land in Tianshui, almost [-]% of the tax is paid by merchants. Tianshui pays attention to commercial development. It is the country with the highest status of merchants in several countries. The emperor will Hold a business banquet and invite all royal merchants, as well as rich merchants and celebrities to participate."

"Girl, can I go?"

"The posts are all down, so of course I'm going!" Ning Qing was very straightforward. "Come on, I haven't been out for a long time, let's go see how the shop is doing."

Ning Qing finally went out, but she didn't meet Yao Gaoyuan, and she didn't meet Yao Gaoyuan for the next few days.

"Is he giving up?" Chunjuan looked around.

Wutong Lane was very quiet, and when Ning Qing was about to get home, four or five wretched men who looked like hooligans suddenly rushed out from the corner.

The leader said: "These little girls are so handsome."

The other said: "Take it back and play."

The corners of Ning Qing's mouth twitched, this scene was really...so disgusting that she wanted to vomit!A hero save the beauty?Even if the beauty can't be saved, the hero will become a bear, let's break here first!
"Ahhhh what are you trying to do? Don't hurt my lady!" Chunjuan screamed.

But of course, her screaming was of no use, and after a while those hooligans rushed over.

Ning Qing pulled Hui Ping's spring rolls and shrank to a corner with a shriek.

At this time, Yao Gaoyuan really lived up to expectations and jumped out with two servants: "Bold thief, you actually molested a good woman in broad daylight! It is an unforgivable crime! Look at me, I beat you all to the ground! Miss ..."

Turning around as she spoke, she looked surprised: "So it's Miss Ning... what a coincidence!"

"It's Mr. Yao!" Ning Qing looked at Yao Gaoyuan excitedly: "I..."

"Miss Ning, don't be afraid! I will take care of them!" As he spoke, he rushed over with the two servants.

Ning Qing pulled Hui Ping's spring rolls and curled up in a corner, watching excitedly.

Yao Gaoyuan wanted to force people, but let those few people focus on it. Of course, they can't really hurt him too much!Some skin trauma is always needed!

Therefore, Yao Gaoyuan was a little dizzy from the beating, and before he knew it, there were two more people who didn't know it.

I don't know who kicked his leg hard, only to hear a slap, and his foot broke!
Yao Gaoyuan yelled in pain, "Who kills a thousand knives! Who kills a thousand knives actually hits such a heavy hand..."
