Chapter 60 It makes me very embarrassed

"puff--"

When Wei Zheng heard what Zhao Chen said, he couldn't hold it back and immediately spurted out a mouthful of tea.

"Cough cough cough -" Wei Zheng coughed violently.

Zhao Chen looked at Old Wei strangely, thinking that he was just asking casually, so you don't need to be so excited.

"Zhao Chen, please don't say this to others outside again. If others listen, you will be beheaded." Wei Zheng whispered to Zhao Chen.

He thought that Zhao Chen was already doubting His Majesty's identity.

His Majesty the Emperor told Wei Zheng that if Zhao Chen knew the emperor's identity, Wei Zheng would have his head chopped off.

"My boss is just an imperial businessman with relatively strong connections. The rest..." Wei Zheng shook his head.

I definitely didn't dare to say anything more to Zhao Chen.

"I'm just asking casually." Zhao Chen nodded.

He didn't believe that the dishonest old man Li Tou was a pilgrim.

It was just a casual question.

Wei Zheng originally wanted to ask about the tea-making skills, but now he has no other thoughts and just wants to leave quickly.

"Zhao Chen, I've also delivered the things. The saltpeter mine is ready for mining. It's up to you when you can start construction."

"But I think we should do it as soon as possible so that we can make more money." Wei Zheng stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Chen.

"We can start construction tomorrow when all the miners arrive." Zhao Chen nodded.

…

After Cheng Chumo separated from Qin Huaiyu, he went home directly.

As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I saw my old man standing in the yard with a smile on his face.

There were several bullock carts parked in the yard.

"Old man, what is this?" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but asked curiously.

"The ice cubes sold by His Majesty Dongshi cannot be bought even if you have money in ordinary times. Today, someone got a good deal." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

He bought a hundred kilograms of ice cubes and spent five ounces of money.

It is also extremely luxurious.

When Cheng Chumo heard this, he thought of Zhao Chen telling him not to buy Dongshi ice cubes.

"Old man, a friend of mine just told me that it's best not to buy the ice cubes in Dongshi. He said that the price of ice cubes will drop in a few days." Cheng Chu thought for a while, and then said to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Chu thought to himself, Zhao Chen had no need to lie to him.

Ice cubes are a symbol of status. Normally, it is difficult to buy them even if you have money.

But Zhao Chen rejected his and Qin Huaiyu's suggestion to give him ice cubes.

So……

"Is your friend kidding?" Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it.

Did he spend such a high price to buy this ice cube? In the end, Cheng Chumo said that his friend told him that the price of this ice cube would drop.

Isn't this just kidding him?

"I don't know either, but there is no need for Zhao Chen to lie to me. I wanted to send him ice cubes, but he refused." Cheng Chumo shook his head.

To be honest, he himself did not believe that the price of this ice cube would drop.

In the hot summer, ice is a luxury item, so it’s good to have it.

Why is there such a thing as a price drop?

Unless a large amount of ice appears next in Dongshi.

otherwise……

But only wealthy families can afford to store ice cubes in ice cellars in previous years.

Where can a large amount of ice come from?

"Oh, by the way, Zhao Chen told me that he would like to invite some miners to help with the mining. Each person will be paid fifty cents a month. After the work is completed, there will be a bonus of one hundred cents."

"So I think..." Cheng Chumo thought of what he promised Zhao Chen.

Cheng Yaojin still needs to give his nod to this matter.

"Fifty yuan a month, Zhao Chen is quite generous." Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised.

"That's natural." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

"You can handle this matter yourself. Pay attention to safety when mining." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said.

He didn't have much mind to pay attention to this matter.

Cheng Yaojin was thinking about how to divide the ice cubes and whether to send some to Qin Qiong and the others.

…

Inside the Li Zheng Hall.

Empress Changsun and Hongfu Girl were sitting together.

Hongfu Nu was in a very bad mood. She felt more and more that she could no longer control the girls in her family.

It’s okay to sleep in the Wangyou Tavern for one night, after all, I don’t know.

But a few days ago, she heard the servants of Li Mansion talking about Li Ruoshuang riding the same horse with a strange young man.

Is this worth it?

Her Li family's face was really lost.

And she guessed that the young man was most likely Zhao Chen.

Bastard!

This kid has embarrassed her several times, which is simply unreasonable.

If she hadn't been called to the palace by Empress Changsun, she would have definitely rushed over this time and dealt a severe blow to Zhao Chen.

"Is sister still angry?" Empress Changsun took Hong Funu's hand and comforted her.

After hearing about Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang from Hongfu Nu, Queen Changsun was stunned for a long time.

But I was a little happy in my heart.

He secretly thought that Zhao Chen was really capable. After meeting Li Ruoshuang for a few times, he dared to hug Li Ruoshuang and ride a horse in the busy city.

However, this kind of thing is not encouraged.

It's a good thing that Zhao Chen's identity has not been exposed yet. Once the people know that he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will be a loss of morality.

"The Queen didn't know, but I just said a few words to that girl, and she almost started beating me."

"You've raised me so big, but you can't compare to that boy's few sweet words."

Sweet words. "Hongfu Girl shook her head, looking a little sad.

Queen Changsun was also stunned.

She also knew that Li Ruoshuang was tough, but why did he almost get into a fight with Hong Fu Nu?

This is not a good thing.

"Actually, it wasn't a fight. I scolded that girl Ruoshuang a few times, and she slammed the door and walked out."

"I'm really pissed off." Hongfu Nu guessed what Queen Changsun was thinking and quickly explained.

She didn't want Empress Changsun to misunderstand Li Ruoshuang.

Li Ruoshuang has a bad temper, but he is not disrespectful.

"Girls, at such a young age, naturally have tempers. Even Ah Zhi in my family often loses his temper."

"Just get used to it!" Queen Changsun said with a smile.

"Sister, I actually think Zhao Chen's kid is quite good. He's capable and stable." Empress Changsun said to Hong Fu Nu again as if she was pointing.

Queen Changsun thought, since Li Ruoshuang is like Zhao Chen, why not promote this fate?

Zhao Chen was weak and had only Uncle Fu by his side. Her eldest grandson, the Empress, did not dare to send someone to take care of her with Zhao Chen.

If one thing is bad and someone lets it slip, everything will be over.

Li Ruoshuang has a strong personality, and there is Duke Wei standing behind him. With her by Zhao Chen's side, no one will dare to attack Zhao Chen.

Even when Zhao Chen returned to the court, he would not have a single helper around to support him.

Although women in the harem were not allowed to participate in politics, Empress Changsun was still a little partial when she thought that her son had been living abroad for sixteen years.

"What the Empress said does make sense. Last time we went to Wannian County, I was quite satisfied with that bastard."

"You are capable, you have means, you are kind to others, but there is one thing that makes me very embarrassed." Hongfu Nu said slowly.

"It's just that that bastard has a gas problem. If something happens in the future..." Hongfu Nu shook her head and said nothing further.
