It was drizzling outside, and Xu Hao in the room was blowing the wind in his left hand and holding a report in his right hand.

Sitting beside him was Mu Qingshuang, who was still as beautiful as that of the past, was playing with a few original gems as big as eggs.

Xu Hao didn't expect that Qingshuang went overseas for a trip. On the way, he met several students from the geography department. He was invited by the Governor's Office of various continents to explore the ore veins. So Qingshuang followed him and learned a lot of knowledge in this area.

After she came back, she secretly visited Jinling. It took nearly a month to write a geological report, which was quite impressive.

Originally, Mu Qingshuang was active by nature, and she was more and more healthy when she was outside for years, and her temperament became more and more different from Ningxue and others in the inner house. In short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and a broad mind cannot avoid the heavy secular prejudice brought about by not getting married.

Xu Hao knew that Qingshuang had already discussed with his aunt and Cuiliu's plan to settle overseas, but he was not qualified to stop him. He suggested that they go to South America.

Qixia Mountain 30 miles east of Shangyuan County, Jiangning, is in Qixia Mountain. The coal mine is not prosperous. The ore is distributed in sticky slate, which is only six feet thick and has poor quality. The advantage is that it is close to the waterway, about three miles away. It is inferior.

There are 30 miles southeast of Shangyuan County, copper ore. The ore is strong, and the ore is very large. It is of clay. The preliminary investigation is a good ore. It can be further tested and can be sure that there are official roads nearby.

In the east of Zhongshan, Shangyuan County, the whole mountain is limestone, and there are many rain flower stones, and there are no minerals.

Twelve caves in the northwest of Shangyuan County, cinnabar ore is a sticky slate, containing purple-brown impurities, similar to cinnabar. It is necessary to conduct mineral testing to know that it is indeed inferior.

The seedlings of Xing'an Mountain, Baohua Mountain, Paitou Mountain, Hushan, Huishan Mountain, and coal mines in Shangyuan County are not prosperous and of poor quality. They are inferior.

Qinglong Mountain is 25 miles east of Shangyuan County, with a coal mine with strong veins and easy to mine. It is of medium size.

Seeing this, Xu Hao smiled with a compliment and said, "No, great scientist Qingshuang, are you planning to start a mine?"

"Yes." Qingshuang nodded, "I know that the court is not allowed to mine at will. I am afraid that the dragon vein will be broken, so I asked you for a question."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "That copper mine is OK, let's forget about the rest. I'm too lazy to go to sue the ministers."

"Yeah." Qingshuang hummed indifferently. For her, a few ore veins are nothing. The most important thing is to get the man's praise and attention, so that this trip is worthwhile.

Xu Hao continued to recite: "Lingyan Mountain, fifteen miles east of Liuhe County, is a gem of beautiful stone. A beautiful stone genus?"

He raised his hand and scratched his head. Xu Hao felt a little depressed. Many nouns were different from those in later generations. There was no way, they were all developed by teachers and students themselves.

Mu Qingshuang explained: "At first, I was very happy, but I knew that the stone wall had become smooth by the stream for many years and was stained by acidified iron. I misunderstood it was a gem, which was just a low-level one."

"Yo! Everyone knows that iron acidified?" Xu Hao laughed.

Xiyang Mountain, 25 miles east of Liuhe County, is a coal mine. It is an ordinary rock with charcoal from plants, not coal. The stone quality is quite good and inferior.

"Plant charcoal?" Xu Hao said with some confusion: "Is it a plant fossil? Since it is inferior, let's keep it for future generations to study."

"It's up to you." Mu Qingshuang smiled.

Xu Hao laughed and said, "You don't look down on coal mines at all. Your eyes will only stare at gold, silver, copper, iron or gems. Oh, there is a silver mine in Yeshan, forty-five miles north of Liuhe County? Is it a top-notch?"

"That's right." Mu Qingshuang said proudly: "A preliminary inspection, according to your statement, the amount is very large, containing gold, silver, and mixed with copper and iron. How much is the essence? Further experiments need to be made."

Xu Hao was not surprised by this, because the iron ore in Yeshan in Jinling is very famous. It was the place where our ancestors dug copper and smelted iron from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its ruins were more than 1,800 years older than Europe.

At the same time, Yisouyuan, study room.

Just like him, Xu Yu is also talking to women. The difference is that Xu Hao is doing serious things, while he is simply playing.

After dividing the chips, the four people began to reshuffle the cards. Yu'er said worriedly: "It's not that I'm timid. If the second master is really a big name in my house, what should I do?"

"You're not lucky." Xu Yu smiled while placing cards: "You said that every time I go to your house, don't you say we can sit in the sedan chair together?"

As soon as these words were said, Qiu Xiang, who had a ghost in her heart, looked at Yu'er. Yu'er couldn't help but lie on the table, and her shoulders kept twitching.

Qiuxiang also smiled red with a blush on her face. Xu Yu said in wonder: "Strange? I said something, why do you laugh like this?"

Xiao Nan tried hard to say with a straight face, "No! Why are you laughing at me? You're just a loser."

"Haha." Yu'er finally couldn't help but laughed.

Xu Yu looked at them and said, "Looking at you like this, you can't really discuss it, right? You have prepared a pair of sedan chairs to join forces to lift me."

Xiao Nan immediately dunked the thirteen cards in front of him and said, "Then let's make it clear. Second Master is afraid that we will join forces, so don't play."

Xu Yu said speechlessly: "You always do this. Why do I have to be annoyed again if I say something? Come on, why don't you beat me?"

Xiaonan smiled with satisfaction and said, "We are a three-person sedan chair, is the second master willing to sit?"

"That's right." Xu Yu said, "You really come and beat me together, and I'm not afraid."

Qiuxiang smiled and said, "Oh, the second master said all this. First, I was afraid that we would carry the sedan chair, but now I said I wouldn't be afraid of sitting in the sedan chair."

"Do you think I'm easy to bully? Let's take a look." Xu Yu played a card casually.

"Touch!" Qiuxiang shouted excitedly.

Xiao Nan smiled and said, "You beat me by yourself, it has nothing to do with us, and it will not be wronged."

"It's okay." Xu Yu shrugged. When Qiuxiang played the cards, he didn't eat or touch them. He played one of the cards casually. As a result, Qiuxiang pushed the remaining cards and said happily: "It's so bad!"

Xiaonan laughed and said, "This was called by the second master himself, so it's not our fault."

Xu Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "I hope your luck will always be so good.

Because Xiao Nan repeatedly stimulated her words, Xu Yu was so excited that he wanted Hu Dapai, but this was too difficult, especially when he was not lucky, he had less than three laps and his chips lost were already considerable.

He didn't care about counting money, but he didn't want to lose like this, so he always had to cut money and laughed and said, "Anyway, my family lost. I'll get a few more money and get more delicious food. I can eat some of the original things."

Xiaonan reminded: "If you want to eat, you should be aware of it. When you turn back to the kitchen, no one will pay attention to us."

Xu Yu said: "I personally explain that mothers will not suppress them."

"Come!" Xu Yu shouted, and soon an old lady came in. He said, "Mom Li, go and give me some other dishes to cook at night, and dim sum for four people, keep it in my account."

Li's mother said, "How much is it?"

Xiaonan quickly said, "Don't be too much, at most two taels of silver."

After Li's mother left, the four of them continued to play cards, and Xu Yu and Xiao Nan frequently quarreled. They lost more without realizing it.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, Xu Yunning walked in and smiled and said, "Okay, why don't you bring me one?"

Xiaonan hurriedly got up and smiled, "Miss, come on, there are so many good things today."

"What's going on?" Yun Ning asked, putting the small umbrella aside.

Xiao Nan said to the card tap to treat snacks, Yunning said to Xu Yu: "So, my second brother lost money? Then will you let me play for a while?"

Xiao Nan suddenly became anxious. She had a good relationship with the lady and didn't want to win her money. She said, "Don't, the second master lost the most today. The feng shui is not good there. Do you want to lose for him?"

Xu Yunning asked, "You have been fighting for so long, don't you touch the wind and change the direction again?"

"Even if you change direction, you're still going to take over his position." Xiao Nan turned his hands and looked innocent, "Eighty times he'd have to lose money."

"You are so bad." Xu Yu raised his hand and pointed at her, "Did you decide I lost money? OK, Yunning, come and watch the battle, I have to fight for a sigh of relief."

Qiuxiang said without hesitation: "You have lost too much. Unless you change it next, you may not be able to win back your money even if you keep losing money."

These words were obviously intended to stimulate Xu Yu to continue Hu's big name, but Xu Yu was not a stubborn person and said, "If you don't tease me repeatedly and lose some money. But you just say I can't win, hum, I can't be so stupid."

Seeing that the second brother was not over, Yunning said to Xiaonan, "Let me play for a while."

"Miss." Xiaonan pulled a long voice, "You are fine. If you change someone, everyone will change their luck."

Yunning said, "Why don't you let me go? No, I have to fight for a while before I can be content."

"Okay, okay, I'll let you." Xu Yu stopped and gave up his seat.

"Thank you." Yunning walked over happily and sat down, "I play cards, and the winner is my own."

"No." Xu Yu insisted: "I have lost money, the card can make you, and the money must be counted as mine."

Yun Ning smiled and said, "What if you lose again?"

"Of course I'm still mine." Xu Yu smiled.

Since the lady continued to play on behalf of the second master, Xiao Nan thought that since winning was his money anyway, why should he be polite? He immediately gave Qiuxiang and Yu'er a wink, and the two understood.

Xu Yu, who had retreated, went out for a walk, took back the kitchen snacks, and put the small square table next to everyone, poured tea for them, prepared hand towels, spittoons, etc.

The bystander Qing, Xu Yu had time to observe, and gradually realized that Qiu Xiang had lost five taels of silver, but she was still laughing and not in a hurry at all. This was really strange.

Why do girls who have to worry about even ten copper coins on weekdays suddenly become generous? Xu Yu became suspicious and found that Xiao Nan couldn't help but complain that the card was not touched well.

With her complaints, Qiuxiang hit a red picture and Xiaonan touched it.

Xu Yu suddenly realized, pretending to go to the back of Qiuxiang, he walked around to Qiuxiang and saw a red card inside her card."

"Okay!" Xu Yuxin said that the three of them really united. Even if they didn't care how much money they lost, they still couldn't help but get angry. After all, no one wants to be deceived like a fool.

Xu Yu continued to observe and waited patiently for four rounds of cards to finish playing. After calculating, Yunning lost another four or five taels of silver, adding one piece of money to a total of nearly twenty taels. According to Yunning's unconvinced temper, she had to play four more rounds.

Xu Yu smiled and said, "All right, I've won enough, I'm sorry to win again. It's already dinner time, so I won't fight anymore."

Yunning said: "You have lost a lot of money, don't you want to win the money?"

"If you lose, you lose. Come again next time." Qiuxiang stood up and said, "I lost too. Can you still betray the debt? We girls should call people, so I won't fight."

Xu Yu asked deliberately: "You have lost for several months, are you willing to give up?"

"Second Master looked down on us so much?" Qiu Xiang smiled slightly, "There will always be a winner and loser when playing cards. Will you come if you are afraid of losing?"

"Well said!" Xu Yu couldn't help but get angry when he saw them like this and said, "Let's play again in the past two days."

Qiuxiang laughed and said, "As long as you have time, come, what are you afraid of?" After that, she took Yu'er and rushed straight to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Yunning said, "Then I'll go to Sister Lanxiang for food and leave." She left Xiaonan to help with the aftermath.
