Chapter 129 Cai Lun? The One Who Made Paper

"Who are you talking about? Brother Cai... Lun?" He Zhaojun was shocked beyond words. This well-known name... Before Shao Shang could answer, she pulled Shao Shang over and ran across the palace.

Gu Guan pulled the carriage over and motioned for the two to get in quickly, but he was puzzled. "Are you in such a hurry to go find the Third Prince? The Third Prince must want you to go by yourself."

He Zhaojun was anxious: "Hurry up and drive to find your Third Prince. This is a matter of great importance to the fate of the country!"

Gu Guan held his tongue when he heard this. "Just sending a gift, is it going to affect the fate of the country?" He didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to ask. So he buried his head and drove the car at full speed, turning and drifting without hesitation.

Shao Shang quickly fastened their seatbelts. "Sister Zhaojun, those two seatbelts you installed are indeed useful. They make us feel more secure... But how can a eunuch be so crucial to the fate of our nation?"

He Zhaojun excitedly grasped her hand and said, "You know, with this eunuch, you won't have to wash silk or bamboo slips and then dry them again. You can use them over and over again...ah!"

Gu Guan slammed on the brakes, the horse roared, neighed "hiss", and stopped.

Seeing the tattered bamboos that the eunuch was holding fall and nearly trip the horse, Gu Guan frowned: "Which palace eunuch are you from? What's your name? Do you know who is in the carriage?"

The man knelt down hurriedly, and the things in his arms fell to the ground with a clatter: "I am Cai Jingzhong, the attendant of the Shangfang Bureau. I am sorry for my poor eyesight and disturbing your carriage. I hope you will forgive me." As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo pole under the wheel into his arms.

When He Zhaojun heard the name, she was frightened to death. In her haste to find someone, she almost killed him?

She quickly opened the door and jumped in front of the eunuch: "Get up quickly, I'll pick it up for you." As she said that, she lowered her head to pick up the dirty fishing nets and tree bark on the ground.

Gu Guan and the Royal Guards who were passing by saw this and rushed over: "Be careful not to hurt your hands, just leave it to us."

As for the eunuch Cai who was lying on the ground, he was confused by the scene before him. He had no idea why this noble man who suddenly appeared would look favorably upon him.

"How dare I trouble you, young lady? I'll pick it up myself..." But everything in his hands was taken by the guards beside him, and even the grass on the roadside was pulled up to avoid missing anything.

Shao Shang poked his head out from behind him and said, "Sister Zhaojun, this is Brother Lun, the one I mentioned to you before. We had a misunderstanding because he picked up the things I was composting."

Cai Jingzhong recognized Shao Shang immediately and forced a smile, "Hey young lady, may I ask why you are in such a hurry today? Where are you going?"

Shao Shang shook his head: "Sister Zhaojun said she wanted to find you, so we drove around the palace looking for you. But where are you going with all these things?"

"These things... the Shangfang Bureau ordered me to find a deserted place to store them, otherwise they would have thrown them away. They don't understand that these discarded items have real value."

He Zhaojun nodded: "Garbage is just a resource placed in the wrong place. Making the best use of things is the core of frugality."

"Indeed, you are right...but there are not enough bamboos, and they are all broken. I want to find some new ones, but I don't know where to find them." Cai Jingzhong scratched his head.

After a long silence, He Zhaojun spoke: "You want bamboo, right? I know a place that has every kind of bamboo in the world. You can use as much as you want."

"Really? Where is it? I hope the young lady can remind me."

He Zhaojun smiled and said, "The backyard of the Third Prince's mansion."
