There was paper and pen in the private room. Prince Jin picked up the pen and wrote a contract and asked Shi Qing to take a look at it.
Shi Qingluo was not polite either and proposed some revisions, meaning that what she had just said, that in addition to replacing the cement road, the fact that they made paper for their own use should also be included.
Prince Jin did not refuse and wrote another one according to her wishes.
Shi Qingluo signed his name and put his fingerprint on the contract, while Prince Jin used the seal he always carried with him.
After the ink dried, Shi Qingluo folded his own copy and put it in the purse across his body, then took out a stack of paper from it.
"Here are several recipes for modified paper. They can produce paper with different levels of texture. Your Highness, you can try them together."
"Here are twenty recipes that are more suitable for Northern Xinjiang. Your Majesty, you can ask the chef in the palace to try making them first."
Prince Jin took the paper and read it through. Both the transformation paper and the recipe were very detailed.
He asked, “Did you write this?”
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, I wrote it."
King Jin smiled and said, "Your handwriting is very good."
Shi Qingluo also smiled, "Thank you for the compliment!"
Prince Jin folded the prescription and stuffed it into his sleeve. "It will probably take another two days to give you the information about the various places in Northern Xinjiang you requested."
Shi Qingluo replied: "Okay, then I will stay in Beicheng for two more days."
Prince Jin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You can't always live in the Deputy Governor's Mansion when you come to North City in the future, so why not let me give you a courtyard."
Shi Qingluo discovered that Prince Jin wanted to give her money and gifts all the time, but she didn't dare to accept them.
She shook her head. "Men and women should not touch each other. I dare not accept the prince's courtyard. Otherwise, people outside will spread the news."
Prince Jin: “…” He spoke as if he had some dirty thoughts.
He was really convinced by this reason for rejection.
He thought for a moment and said, "It's not a gift for you, it's a gift for you and your wife. When the time comes, the owner of the yard will be your husband."
Let’s see how Shi Qingluo will refuse this time.
Shi Qingluo shook his head again, "No, if you want to give the yard to my husband, people who don't know will think you want to bribe him, which will be bad for your reputation."
"We don't come to North City very often, so when we come, we can stay at an inn."
"If we really want to stay in North City often in the future, we can just buy a yard of our own."
Prince Jin: "..." Does he need to bribe a seventh-rank county magistrate? But since they are saying it for his good reputation, he really can't find any reason to refute.
He said speechlessly: "Okay, as long as you are happy!"
Liang Mingyu, who was standing by, saw his father being repeatedly humiliated and became more interested in Shi Qingluo.
He suddenly asked, "Madam Shi, what do you like?"
Shi Qingluo always felt that the prince of Prince Jin's Mansion looked at her in a strange way.
She smiled shyly, "I like my husband."
Liang Mingyu: “…” Who asked you this?
And it sounds so depressing.
What's so good about a seventh-rank county magistrate?
He coughed dryly, "I mean, what are your hobbies?"
Shi Qingluo suppressed her shyness and said, "Hobby? Does farming count?"
Liang Mingyu was speechless, "Does farming mean planting the land?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "That's about right. I like to study and grow all kinds of plants."
It was because she liked agricultural science that she chose this major against her family's wishes, and after graduation she entered the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Liang Mingyu: “…” This is the first time I’ve heard of this hobby.
He then asked, "Don't you like the rouge, powder, clothes and jewelry that other girls like?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "I like it, but it can't be considered a hobby. If I have it, I'll dress up. If I don't have it, it doesn't matter."
She likes to enjoy, but she can accept it if she doesn't have it.
The women or ladies he once liked were either interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or liked dressing up.
This person who likes farming is really too special...
Seeing that he wanted to ask more questions, Shi Qingluo didn't want to talk to him anymore.
She looked at Prince Jin and said, "Does your Highness need anything else? If not, I will take my leave now."
Prince Jin felt it was amusing to see his son being humiliated just now.
He wanted to win over Shi Qingluo, so he naturally wouldn't force her to stay. "It's okay, go ahead."
Shi Qingluo stood up and bowed, "Goodbye!"
Then he turned around and left the private room without any hesitation.
This also made Liang Mingyu a little depressed. Why is this woman like this? King Jin looked at him and smiled, "I said Shi Qingluo is different from those women. Now you believe it."
Liang Mingyu touched his chin and said, "Father, do you think she was just teasing me?"
King Jin was speechless, "I don't think so. She does know a lot about agricultural plants."
"I heard that the Grand Minister of Agriculture in the capital has been praising her all the time and wants to make an exception and let her go to the Ministry of Agriculture."
Liang Mingyu frowned, "What's so good about agricultural plants?"
Prince Jin smiled and said, "So you and she have different ideas and cannot work together. Just give up your thoughts."
"Let me take another look." Liang Mingyu didn't want to give up. After all, Shi Qingluo's appearance, temperament and identity were very much to his liking.
In particular, she kept emphasizing that she loved her husband.
He likes to pry married women like this.
The key is that if he can recruit Shi Qingluo to serve him, it will be beneficial for him to inherit the palace in the future.
If my father could go one step further and become the emperor, the whole world would belong to him in the future.
Even though he is the prince of the palace now, several of his brothers in the palace are eyeing his position covetously and want to bring him down at any time.
The second and third sons have been very active recently, which has made their father pay more attention to them.
He has to find an opportunity to consolidate his position.
King Jin didn't bother to care about him, "It's up to you."
Then he took the two of them out of the private room and immediately asked someone to take the recipe to try it out.
After cement became popular in the capital, the emperor opened several cement workshops.
In addition, there is also a cement workshop in Shi Qingluo's village, so the formula is no longer a secret.
In the north city, King Jin also built several cement workshops.
The main streets in the north city are also paved with concrete.
Therefore, Prince Jin also ordered the cement workshop to produce a batch of cement recently. After confirming that Shi Qingluo's prescription could be used, he would have people pave the road.
This is also the sincerity he puts in to win people over.
When Shi Qingluo returned after talking with Prince Jin, Xiao Yuanshi also received the news.
However, that teahouse was Prince Jin's property, and there were secret guards guarding inside and outside, so his people had no way of eavesdropping.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanshi was particularly curious about how the two talked about it and what price Prince Jin would pay to get the prescription.
Based on his understanding of Shi Qingluo, her prescription was not easy to get, so it was unlikely to get it for free.
However, no matter how curious he was, he did not ask anyone to call Shi Qingluo to ask.
On the other side, Shi Qingluo went to another teahouse where he had an appointment with Xi Rong.
They plan to continue shopping today.
But before reaching the teahouse, when they walked into an alley, they saw several thugs surrounding a boy who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.
