Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 259 The Treasury (3)
Luo Qian said: "It's no problem, I'll tell my concubine right away when I go back."

The three broke up outside the city, Yu Zixi went back to the embassy, ​​but Luo Qian and Lian Xiu didn't go back to their mansion, but went into the palace together to meet Lian Chongxue.

Seeing them coming back, Lian Chongxue asked, "How is it? Did you see that gold mine?"

Luo Qian took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and said, "Mother, take a look."

Lian Chongxue took it and fiddled with it in her hands, saying: "Is this the gold produced in that mine?"

Luo Qian said: "Yes, there are still 3 boxes, [-] taels of gold on the way back."

Lian Chongxue didn't really believe in his son's ability to handle affairs, so he looked at Lian Xiu again and said, "Brother, is that really the case?"

Lian Xiudao: "Yes, we watched the ore there be smelted into gold with our own eyes. I can smelt two yuan of gold by kicking out a stone with my foot. There are more than ten miles of gold mines at present. With so much refining, if it is officially mined, the amount of gold produced must be extremely amazing!"

Lian Dexue said in surprise, "I never thought Beiliao really had such a big gold mine!"

Luo Qian's eyes were sharp and he said: "Yes, mother concubine, we will start mining this gold mine after we get it. It is estimated that the annual income will be equal to the national treasury!"

What he said made Chongxue's heart skip a beat, and said: "That's good, but such a large amount of wealth is really amazing. If the king finds out, it might kill us!"

Luo Qian said: "Why did my mother become timid all of a sudden, Songning County is far away in Huikang Mansion, and the gold mine is deep in the mountains, how could my father know about it?"

Lian Chongxue said: "It's impossible for him to find out, but who knows if someone will inform him?"

Luo Qian said: "Wei Xi has been mining there for more than a year and no one has discovered it. How could we be discovered?"

Lian Chongxue said: "After all, he was the only one who knew about it when he mined it, but when it comes to us, more people know about it."

Luo Qian said: "It's him except us, but he has promised me that he will go back to Korea as soon as possible and will not send this news."

Lian Chongxue said: "Well, if he can return to Korea, we will feel much more at ease."

Luo Qian said: "So mother, you have to hurry up to see the father, and immediately dissolve my engagement with Lian Xianglai, so that he can go back to Korea sooner."

Lian Chongxue had a headache and said: "This matter is not easy to handle. I was the one who begged your father to let you marry Xianglai, and now I am going to say no. Don't you want your father to die of anger."

Luo Qian said: "Although it's not easy to handle, but the last time the kiss was really right, otherwise how could it be possible to get such a secret as the gold mine, the father will definitely be angry, but Wei will definitely not agree to it if the engagement is not broken, and will not let it go. Let's mine the gold mine with peace of mind, and mother should think of a way out of the trouble."

Lian Shengxue said: "I will definitely find a way, but I'm just worried about what will happen if your father doesn't agree."

Lian Xiu rolled his eyes aside, and said: "I don't think it's better than this. You can say this when you meet the King of Beiliao, and say that you made a mistake before, and Qian'er is going to marry not Xianglai noodles but Xiangyuan... "

Lian Chongxue and Luo Qian clapped their hands repeatedly after hearing this, and said, "This is a good way, at least the king won't feel that we are deceiving him."

After speaking, Lian Chongxue came to the study of King Beiliao.

Seeing her coming, the king of Beiliao asked, "Why haven't I seen Qian'er come to say hello to her for so many days? Is it because she has a new love that even the king doesn't want to see her?"

Lian Chongxue pretended to be sad and said: "Oh, don't talk about it, your majesty, Ziqian is angry with me because of this. She didn't come to the palace because she didn't want to see me, but she came just now, and ended up with me again." Lost a temper."

The King of Beiliao asked strangely: "What's the matter, isn't he also likes Xianglai over there?"

Lian Chongxue sat beside him and said dejectedly: "That's right, actually I misheard him, he likes the fifth girl Xiangyuan from the elder brother's family, but I just listened to it as Xianglai when I was distracted, and I was confused." Confused, she ran to the king to ask for a marriage. After Qian'er got the order, she was very angry. She came to me at that time and said that I should ask the king to cancel the marriage. To change the reasoning, I persuaded him to marry Xianglai for the time being, and then marry Xiangyuan back later, but he refused to say anything, saying that Xianglai looks like me, he, he dare not marry at all."

The king of Beiliao stared wide-eyed after hearing this, and complained angrily: "You, what are you talking about, I said that most of Qian'er likes the little one, but you just say Lian Xianglai, this Fortunately, Xuan'er is dissatisfied with me even after my will, but the result is not what Qian'er wants, this, this is really unreasonable!"

Lian Chongxue pretended to be ashamed and said: "Yes, my concubine has been in trouble these days, and I dare not tell the king, but seeing that Qian'er ignored me because of this matter, I have no choice but to bite the bullet Come to the king to see if you can change the will and change it to Xiangyuan."

King Beiliao said: "The decree has already been made, how do you want me to change it, did you say that I found the wrong person?!"

Lian Chongxue took his arm and said coquettishly: "It's okay to say that it's okay to find the wrong person. Didn't the king cancel the decree for Xuan'er before? It's really not possible... just take the eunuch who passed the decree as a crime, and then let him go." Said they went to the wrong place and made the wrong announcement.”

The King of Beiliao frowned angrily, and said: "Forget it, let's do it like this, let someone go and tell Lian Xianglai, and say that the announcement was made to the wrong person, and then I will not give up the order, so let Qian'er send Lian Xiangyuan away." Bring it back home."

Lian Chongxue said happily: "Yes, it is enough to have the king's words, and it is not considered that Qian'er and Lian Xianglai violated the order."

After finishing speaking, I happily went to find someone to pass on the message.

The king of Northern Liao thought for a while and asked the personal eunuch Shizi Fu to tell Luo Jinxing that even the marriage between Xianglai and Luo Qian was cancelled.

After giving the order, he sat down with peace of mind, and looked at Xianglai's Nongsang anthology to go.

Xianglai and Luo Jinxing had known for a long time that there would be news from the palace, and they were not very surprised when they got it.

However, this news was too abrupt for Lian Xiangyuan. Although she was wandering around under Luo Qian's nose in the past, she never thought that Luo Qian could really marry her. As a concubine, she is a concubine. For her, being able to marry the third prince is a step up to the sky.

Not to mention that she was happy here, but Luo Qian and Lianxiu asked Yu Zixi to take Xianglai away immediately after Luo Qian and Lianxiu broke off the engagement with Xianglai. .

And Luo Qian and Lian Xiu are already busy with Songning's mining business. Seeing that gold mining is faster than doing business, they even put aside the matter of repairing and reorganizing the caravan for the time being, and secretly went to Songning up.

Although it is said that the fewer people who know about the gold mining, the better, but Lian Xiu still told Mrs. Zhu, and Mrs. Zhu was shocked when she heard it. There was nothing to be afraid of. After all, he was the prince of Beiliao, and the whole land of Beiliao belonged to his father. It would not be a big deal for a son to open a mine on his father's land. Thinking of this, she felt at ease.
