Qin Yan had recently been living in Qin Wan's courtyard. As she listened to the servants' vivid account of Bai Wanyi's affairs, her eyes widened. "How could this be possible? How did Lu Yan believe it? It's a blatant cuckold! And he's happy with it?!"
Qin Wan chuckled, "Mrs. Bai saved his life, so of course he believes her. Furthermore, he's a man who values his reputation, and since the marriage was granted by His Majesty, as long as the Crown Prince doesn't acknowledge it, he'll have no choice but to believe Mrs. Bai's words."
Qin Yan didn't understand. "Didn't they say that Bai seduced him in public? How could the prince deny that Bai said that?"
Qin Wan recalled her past life and slowly spoke, "Our Crown Prince is not ambitious. When the current Emperor was still the Crown Prince, he was already involved in government affairs in his teens and was able to accompany the late Emperor in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony at the age of sixteen."
"The Crown Prince is now in his twenties and still unmarried. Besides defending himself against court officials, he has never appeared in court."
The two looked at each other. The prince was older than the two of them, but his behavior was very absurd, even worse than those playboys.
They were not in a position to discuss state affairs, nor the Crown Prince's private affairs...
Qin Yan smiled and said, "If I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to marry the Crown Prince. Let's not even talk about the future. Just the way he acts is erratic and irresponsible. What girl wouldn't waste her life marrying him?"
Qin Wan was thinking that the prince had not yet married and the court officials were avoiding him. This might be a signal. Could it be that the emperor really wanted to depose the prince?
Is it because there is no good excuse for not deposing the crown prince yet?
Although the prince was eccentric and dissolute, he had never made any major mistakes in principle. If he had not been found out about treason in his previous life, the prince's position would have been safe and secure.
But……
Qin Wan still felt something was not right, and thought of the firearm recipe. If the prince really was not favored by His Majesty, would he be allowed to see the firearm recipe and know it?
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Qin Yan did not disturb her. He just found a book to read. After reading for a while, he felt bored. Seeing that Qin Wan was still silent and had finished listening to the gossip, he got up and left.
Qin Wan stayed in the capital for another half a month. After receiving the flower room perm sample made by Yangshi Lei, she set off for Qiuxing County again, with Zhaojiazhuang as her first stop.
During this period, Wuxiang Liuli has become more and more transparent. Although it still cannot reach the effect of glass, it is much more beautiful than the previous hazy white one.
Qin Wan had no plans to start selling on a large scale right away. She only had some of the finished colored glass sent to the capital to replace the windows of the Qin family mansion with formless colored glass, and some of it shipped to Xiaoxue Village.
The steward was very confused: "Miss, the glass flower house built by Pingyang Marquis Mansion is now known throughout the capital, and countless people are asking about our Wuxiang Liuli. Why don't we take advantage of the situation? Open a shop now, and once the Wuxiang Liuli is sold, the money will come in, right?"
Qin Wan gently stroked the slightly dark colored glass and said, "Of course I have to wait for the right moment to surprise everyone."
The steward wondered: "When is the timing?"
Qin Wan didn't mind giving the steward a heads-up: "It's true that the Lu family's glazed flower house has attracted everyone's attention right now, but that's just a pretense. On his wedding day, the glazed flower house will appear before everyone's eyes, and by then, even more people will be amazed."
"His wedding is still more than two months away. During this time, if you can make even more crystal-clear Wuxiang colored glass, what do you think the effect will be if we use it for the doors and windows of our new shop?"
The steward's eyes lit up when he heard this. As a steward, how could he not know about the dispute between his family and the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?
Now that Pingyang Marquis Mansion has gained a reputation, the glass from the glass shop is even better than Pingyang Marquis Mansion's. This not only slaps Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the face, but also makes Wuxiang Glass even more famous. Then it will be easy to sell it at a high price!
This kills two birds with one stone!
The steward responded repeatedly, "I will have the craftsmen work overnight! We must make the best colored glass!"
Qin Wan nodded and repeatedly reminded him, "It's okay to rush the work, but safety is the most important thing. Also, separate the various procedures and keep them strictly confidential."
"Don't worry, Miss!" The manager did a very good job in this regard. The people in charge of key areas were all his own people who had signed the sales contract, and the rest were hired craftsmen.
In this way, even if someone is poached, no core information will be leaked.
Qin Wan stayed in Zhaojiazhuang for two days and then led the convoy to Xiaoxuezhuang.
Qin Wan's car windows were also replaced with the latest colored glass. The weather was just right now, and the scenery outside was hazy and looked particularly beautiful as she looked along the way.
"Huh? Who's that?"
The carriage passed by a group of people speeding by. Qin Wan seemed to see someone she knew. She turned her head and looked back, only to meet a pair of inquiring eyes.
It's her/him!
Zhenzhen and the others also reacted at this time:
"Isn't that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why is he in a place like this?"
Qin Wan pointed at the prey hanging from the backs of several guards' horses and said with a smile, "Maybe he sneaked out to play again. Don't tell anyone about it when you get back."
Zhenzhen and the others nodded, but couldn't help but say, "The Crown Prince spends all day riding his horse through the streets, hanging out with those dandy boys. No wonder His Majesty hasn't let the Crown Prince handle state affairs."
Qin Wan glared at her: "Be careful with your words!"
Zhenzhen shrank her neck and dared not say another word.
The Wuxiang colored glass has been delivered to the manor, and the crystal clear colored glass has attracted the attention of many people.
The village head was an experienced farmer. When he saw the hot sample of the glazed greenhouse, he knew its wonderful use and praised it repeatedly: "This greenhouse is really a good thing!"
"There's a hot spring right on this farm. We can grow some fresh vegetables in the winter and supply them to the mansion. With this greenhouse built next to the hot spring, the harvest will only be better!"
This was Qin Wan's plan. She smiled and said, "The construction of the glazed greenhouse will be left to you."
"Okay, okay, leave it to me!" The village head responded happily.
Since a greenhouse needs to be built on the farm, people are naturally needed. The people in Xuezhuang Village can earn extra money and are very happy.
Qin Wan stayed at the farm. Now was the critical moment for planting, and she didn't want to miss it at all.
It is a little late to plant rice now, and a little early to plant wheat. Fortunately, there are several plots of land in the shade with low temperatures, so wheat is planted here.
The other crops were also planted in different categories regardless of whether it was the planting season or not. Qin Wan's current idea was to conduct hybridization experiments. As long as the hybridization was successful, the yield would not be important. Wouldn't it be easier to wait until the season came and then hybridize the crops of the corresponding season?
The paper mill is not so busy nowadays. There is a lot of preliminary preparation work for all the raw materials. It takes more than a month to soak the raw materials alone. After other preparations are done, they just wait for the raw materials to be soaked before starting work.
Qin Wan saw that there was nothing to do in the paper mill and planned to leave. As soon as they left the village, they saw the village chief and a few others walking towards them.
