Chapter 410: Why was this woman like this!
There were writing materials in the private room.
King Jin picked up the brush and wrote a contract for Shi Qingluo to read.
Shi Qingluo did not stand on ceremony and suggested a change.
She wanted to include what she had just said. Other than exchanging for the cement road, she also wanted to include the matter of them using the formula to make paper too.
King Jin didn’t reject her suggestion and wrote another copy according to her wishes.
Shi Qingluo signed her name and pressed her thumbprint on the contract.
King Jin used the seal that he always carried with him.
After the ink had dried, Shi Qingluo folded her copy and placed it in her pouch. She then took out a stack of paper.
“These are the formulas to modify the paper making process. You can create paper with different textures. Your Highness, you can try them all.
“These 20 food recipes are more suitable for the northern border. Your Highness can ask the chefs in your mansion to try them first.”
King Jin took the paper and read it. Both the process to modify paper and the food recipes were very detailed.
“Did you write this?” he asked.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Yes, I did. ”
King Jin smiled. “Your handwriting is very good. ”
Shi Qingluo also smiled. “Thank you for the compliment! ”
King Jin folded the formulas and stuffed it into his sleeve. “I’ll probably need another few days to give you the situation of the northern border that you asked for.”
“Sure, I’ll stay in Northern City for a few days more,” Shi Qingluo replied.
King Jin thought for a while and smiled.
“You can’t always stay in the deputy governor’s office when you come to Northern City in the future. Why don’t I give you a courtyard? ” he said.
Shi Qingluo realized that King Jin wanted to give her money and items all the time, but she wouldn’t dare to accept them.
She shook her head.
“It’s improper for a man and a woman to have such a relationship. I don’t dare to accept a courtyard from Your Highness. Otherwise, I don’t know what people will say.”
King Jin remained silent, she said it as if he had some dirty thoughts.
He was truly convinced by her reason for rejection.
He changed his mind. “It’s not really a gift for you. It’s for you and your husband. When the time comes, your husband will be the owner of the house.”
Let’s see how Shi Qingluo will refuse this time.
Shi Qingluo shook her head again. ” No, if you give a courtyard to my husband, those who don’t know might think that you’re trying to bribe him. It’ll be bad for your reputation.
“We won’t come to Northern City often. We can stay in an inn if we come.
“In the future, if we really want to stay in Northern City often, we can just buy our own courtyard.”
King Jin wondered, did he need to bribe a seventh-rank county magistrate?
However, he really couldn’t find a reason to refute when she said that she was speaking for his reputation.
“Alright, as long as you’re happy!” He was lost for words.
Liang Mingyu, who was watching from the side, saw that his father had been repeatedly beaten, and his interest in Shi Qingluo grew.
“Mdm Shi, what do you like?” he suddenly asked.
Shi Qingluo felt that the crown prince of King Jin’s residence was looking at her with a strange gaze.
She seemed to be smiling shyly. “I like my husband.”
Liang Mingyu was speechless, who asked you that?
And why did it sound so heart-wrenching?
What was there to like about a seventh-ranked county magistrate?
He coughed drily. “I mean, what hobbies do you have?”
Shi Qingluo retracted her shyness. “Hobby? Does farming count?”
Liang Mingyu was speechless. “Farming, you mean planting crops? ”
“Something like that,” Shi Qingluo replied with a smile. “I like to research and grow all sorts of plants.”
It was also because she liked agricultural science that she chose this major against her family’s wishes. After graduation, she worked in the Academy of Agricultural Science.
Liang Mingyu was speechless, this is the first time I’ve heard of this hobby.
“You don’t like the makeup, clothes, and accessories that other girls like?” he asked.
Shi Qingluo smiled. “I do, but it’s not a hobby. If I have it, I’ll dress up. If I don’t, it’s fine too. ”
She did like to enjoy life, but it was not unacceptable if she did not.
Liang Mingyu felt that Shi Qingluo could totally end the conversation.
The women he had once liked were either interested in music, chess, calligraphy, or dressing up.
She, who liked to farm, was really too special.
Seeing that he still wanted to ask, Shi Qingluo did not want to listen to his long-winded conversation.
She looked at King Jin and asked, “Is there anything else, Your Highness? If not, I’ll take my leave.”
King Jin found it funny when he saw his son being defeated.
He wanted to win Shi Qingluo over, so he naturally wouldn’t force her to stay. “It’s fine. You can go.”
Shi Qingluo stood up and bowed. “Goodbye!”
Then, she turned around and left the private room without any hesitation.
This also made Liang Mingyu a little depressed. Why was this woman like this!
King Jin looked at him and smiled. “I told you Shi Qingluo is different from those girls. Do you believe me now? ”
Liang Mingyu touched his chin. “Father, do you think she was making fun of me just now? ”
King Jin was lost for words. “I don’t think so. She does know a lot about farming and plants.
“I heard that the Head of the Agriculture Department in the capital has been praising her and even wanted to make an exception for her to go to the Bureau of Agriculture.
Liang Mingyu frowned. “What’s there to like about agricultural plants? ”
King Jin laughed. “That’s why I said that you and her walk different paths and can’t see eye to eye. You should just give up on that thought.”
“I’ll continue to keep a lookout.” Liang Mingyu didn’t want to give up.
After all, Shi Qingluo’s appearance, aura, and identity were to his liking, especially when she kept emphasizing that she liked her husband.
He liked to pry open married women like this.
The key was that if he could take Shi Qingluo under his wing, it would be beneficial for him to inherit King Jin’s residence.
If his royal father advanced one step further and became the emperor, the entire world would be his in the future.
Although he was the prince of King Jin’s residence, a few of his brothers in the family were eyeing his position covetously and wanted to pull him down at any time.
Recently, his younger second and third brother had been very active, and his father thought highly of them.
He had to find an opportunity to stabilize his position.
King Jin couldn’t be bothered with him. “It’s up to you. ”
Then, he left the private room with the two of them and immediately called for someone to bring the formulas to try.
After cement became popular in the capital, the emperor opened several cement workshops.
In addition, Shi Qingluo’s village also had a cement workshop, so the recipe was no secret.
In Northern City, King Jin had also built a few cement workshops.
The main streets of Northern City were also paved with cement.
Because of this, King Jin had ordered the cement workshop to produce a batch of cement.
After confirming that Shi Qingluo’s recipe was usable, he would send people to pave the road.
This was also his sincerity to sway others’ hearts.
When Shi Qingluo and King Jin finished their discussion and returned, Xiao Yuanshi also received the news.
However, the teahouse was King Jin’s property.
There were secret guards both inside and outside, so his men couldn’t eavesdrop.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanshi was particularly curious about the conversation between the two and what price King Jin had to pay to get the formulas.
Based on his understanding of Shi Qingluo, her prescription wasn’t easy to get, so it wasn’t likely that he would take it for free.
However, no matter how curious he was, he didn’t get anyone to call Shi Qingluo over to ask.
On the other hand, Shi Qingluo went to the other teahouse he had agreed to meet Xi Rong at.
They were going to continue shopping today.
However, before they reached the teahouse, they walked into an alley and saw several ruffians surrounding a young man who looked to be about 13 or 14 years old.
