Chapter 36 Why are you just raising prices from the ground up?

Chapter 36: Just sitting on the ground and raising the price.

 Xiliang Palace, East Palace.

Incense smoke curled up in the incense burner, and the fragrance of purple incense spread throughout the dormitory.

 Its taste is light and mysterious.

Accompanied by the maid, Queen Zhen Xi walked around the main hall. As soon as she entered the inner hall, she saw an elegant young man in a white shirt sitting on a soft couch.

 Baili Fengming stood up to say hello, "Why is the Queen Mother here at this time?"

Queen Zhen Xi quickly pulled him to sit down again, with a face full of curiosity, "It's hard for that kid from Qingyao to be so interested in sending so much charcoal. I heard that she also sent you a lot of charcoal, but what happened? Done?"

Baili Fengming smiled bitterly and remained silent without answering.

On the other hand, Lian Xi, who was standing aside, sighed helplessly, "The Empress doesn't know something. Miss Qingyao has a tougher temper than the chaste and martyr girl. The Ji Yuan has been going to Hua's house all day long, but she hasn't seen Qingyao yet." Miss, please let me know."

The joy on Queen Zhen Xi's face also faded a lot, "I didn't expect that girl to still have a stubborn temper, but this is good. Once she is willing to stay with you, it will be difficult for others to **** her away."

Lian Xi felt that Queen Zhen Xi was still too optimistic.

 Now Miss Qingyao can only be described in four words, indifferent!

Queen Zhen Xi looked at the jade-like face in front of her, her heart was sore and her eyes gradually turned red.

Even though Feng Ming is the prince, this child has not been interested in government affairs since she was a child, and coupled with her poor health, she actually doesn't have much hope.

I originally thought that as long as I saved his life, I would let him go.

But I didn’t expect that the first thing he said when he woke up was that he wanted to continue to be the prince.

 She had never seen her son show such a firm look.

She knew that she owed the child from Qingyao a favor, and she originally hoped that Fengming would repay the favor. After all, in Xiliang, the crown prince's protection was unrivaled by no one but the emperor.

Unexpectedly, what happened now was completely beyond her imagination...

However, she thought this was a good idea. Since Feng Ming needed the child, the child could also be protected by Feng Ming, which was the best of both worlds.

Don’t you know…

That child is so different, not for power, fame or fortune.

Feeling that tears were about to fall, Queen Zhen Xi quickly raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Fortunately, the heavy snow not only blocked Xiliang, but also blocked the way of those people, but they will come back as soon as the snow stops, Feng Ming , you have to think of a way before that.”

 Baili Fengming chuckled sideways, "If she doesn't obey again, just tie her into the palace."

 Empress Zhen Xi nodded, feeling that this was not impossible.

Lian Xi was horrified to hear this.

Who would have thought that the majestic queen and the prince of a country would actually discuss kidnapping someone else's young lady...

 Miss Qingyao, please wish yourself well.

 At the entrance of the palace.

All the ministers discussed it and sent their servants to Hua's house to buy charcoal as soon as they returned to the house.

There were even some who were close to Hua Yaoting, who shouted directly and boldly, "General Hua, remember to leave a place for the humble ministers!"

Hua Yaoting was more direct, "I don't care about selling charcoal. My little Qingyao has said that I will just take people back and she will do the rest of the business."

Fan Zixiu, who had just walked over, felt dazzled when he saw Hua Yaoting's radiant old face.

Just as Hua Yaoting got on the carriage, he turned a corner and walked in front of the other ministers and said calmly, "The Hua family's charcoal is five times that of the previous charcoal. The Hua family simply raises the price. No matter how rich you are, sir, Is it so expensive?”

 The ministers at the palace gate were all surprised. “Prime Minister Fan, why don’t you give up?”

"The Hua family selling charcoal is an imperial decree from the emperor. Do you still want to go against it?"

“Now that the city has been closed due to heavy snowfall, the Hua family is willing to sell charcoal at five times the price. That is a generous donation, but how come it is like taking advantage of the situation when it comes to Prime Minister Fan?”

Fan Zixiu's old face twitched. He never expected that these ministers were so ungrateful.

These ministers in the court are completely indifferent. If you, Prime Minister Fan, hadn't said that the change of weather was a rumor, why would we go to Huajia to buy charcoal at five times the price now?

Oh, it’s okay if you don’t admit that you have done something wrong, and you want to drag us with you to make the same mistake again and again. Even if you have strong bones, ordinary people like us are afraid of the cold.

 Fan Zixiu, who had made such a shameful scene, was angry and furious.

But the ministers didn't even look at him anymore, and sat in their own carriages one after another and drove away.

Nearly half an hour later, these carriages stopped outside the door of Hua's house.

The carriages with official license plates were lined up like a long queue outside the door of Hua's house. The spectacular scene was about to catch up with the emperor's departure from the palace.

Fan Qingyao was standing in the yard wearing a thick coat. On the left was Nanny Xu, who was reading about the signs hanging on the carriages of various families entering the yard to buy charcoal. On the right was Cheng Yi, who was calculating accounts, even though her face was red with cold. , but still listened carefully.

She looked like a real little landowner's wife.

 In the main hall, several daughters-in-law and Tao Yuxian looked on with joyful smiles, and at the same time they were thankful and appreciative that their little Qingyao was a good person and would definitely have a big future.

Only the eldest daughter-in-law, Ling Wei, was sitting alone in the corner, too full of resentment to vent her anger.

 Suddenly, Nanny Xu, who was still displaying the carriage sign in the yard, lost her voice.

Everyone looked out and saw Nanny Xu frowning at the carriage. It wasn't that she didn't report it, but that the carriage had no brand at all.

It's just that this matter can be hidden from Nanny Xu, but it cannot be hidden from Fan Qingyao.

How could she not recognize the Fan family’s carriage?

 She will not forget the little boy from the Fan family either!

"Six hundred taels." Fan Qingyao's voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

I just returned three hundred taels of charcoal, how can I say that the price has doubled?

The boy who drove the carriage came over with a sullen look on his face, "Is the Hua family so particular about integrity?"

Fan Qingyao said calmly, "The Fan family only has six hundred taels."

In this way, everyone will understand that this is the carriage of the Fan family.

The boy didn't expect that he didn't even dare to put up a sign, so he let Fan Qingyao recognize him, and quickly said with a smile, "Miss Qingyao, the master and the young master are freezing in the house, why are you so cruel? ?”

Fan Qingyao stopped looking at him and shouted directly, "Next one."

 That boy was serving the young master anyway, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face in public. But now Fan Qingyao is not the one who once had a weak position in the Fan family and allowed them to be bullied by servants like them.

He is selling charcoal with the imperial edict now, and he must be crazy to dare to challenge it.

Seeing the Fan family boy walking away dejectedly with his tail between his legs, everyone around him burst into laughter.

Just now, the masters of each of their families talked about what Prime Minister Fan called raising prices on the ground. Now they think that this is the real raising of prices on the ground.

But the Fan family deserved to suffer, who told them not to ask for fish eyes for pearls.

Hearing the laughter that filled the sky, the young boy of the Fan family ran away faster.
