Prince Jin was stunned, obviously not expecting Shi Qingluo to write to him.
He took the letter curiously and read it.
He originally thought that the girl would give him some ideas again, but after reading the letter he felt a little amused.
Liang Mingyu was also very curious, "Father, what did she say in the letter?"
Prince Jin placed the letter on the table, "She asked if I should fulfill my promise."
“This is asking me to build the road.”
That girl is really brave. No one else would dare to write such a blatant letter to ask him to fulfill his promise.
Liang Mingyu was stunned for a moment, "She is really direct enough."
He asked, "Father, are we going to start building this road?"
Prince Jin nodded, "Of course we have to repair it. We have to let her know that I am a man who keeps his promises, so that she will continue to give us good ideas."
Liang Mingyu thought for a moment, "How about I go to Heyang County and talk to them about the road construction?"
Prince Jin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go to Heyang County in person and make sure this matter is handled properly."
Then he emphasized, "Be careful not to affect the overall situation."
Liang Mingyu nodded, "Don't worry, father. I understand."
He certainly wouldn't ruin the overall situation because of that hobby.
He himself also wanted to win over Shi Qingluo.
So the next day Liang Mingyu set off for Heyang County.
But there was one more person traveling with him.
His younger sister, Liang Mingmin, was the only legitimate daughter of the queen. During the reign of the late emperor, she was conferred the title of Princess Zhen, which means treasure.
Moreover, from the fact that a woman has the same generation name as Liang Mingyu, it can be seen how favored Liang Mingmin is.
In the entire palace, she can be said to be Prince Jin's most beloved child. In terms of food, clothing, expenses and power, the other concubines cannot even compare to her.
This time, when Liang Mingmin heard that Liang Mingyu was going to Heyang County, he felt bored recently, and in order to avoid people, he insisted on going with him, under the pretext of relaxing.
Prince Jin and the princess both agreed. Although Liang Mingyu was reluctant to bring such a little ancestor along, he had no choice but to agree.
Because Liang Mingmin was with them on the road, the carriage couldn't move fast.
The person who made the arrangements also calculated the distance and time, and tried to take the two masters to a restaurant for lunch and dinner.
The main thing is to serve the princess well, otherwise the end will not be good.
For lunch, we had lunch in the county town closest to the north city.
Liang Mingmin was a picky eater, so he ate a little and then put down his chopsticks.
She looked at her half-brother who was still eating and asked, "Liang Mingyu, have you seen Shi Qingluo's husband, Xiao Hanzheng?"
Liang Mingyu has gotten used to being called by his younger sister's name.
He had always known that his sister looked down on them, the illegitimate children, and she had never hidden it in her words and deeds.
But their father didn't care at all, and the princess was even more indulgent, so they, the illegitimate sons and daughters, had no choice but to endure it.
Especially since there is only one legitimate daughter in the entire palace, her father dotes on her very much. He wants to secure his position as the crown prince, so he has always been very polite to this sister.
He shook his head, "I have never met Xiao Hanzheng."
Thinking of my sister's hobbies, I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Liang Mingmin smiled and said, "No, I'm just a little curious and want to meet him."
Liang Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. "What's so good about seeing a married man? He just walked out of a small village, so he shouldn't be that good."
"Who told you that? Xiao Hanzheng has never been to North City before, so no one should have seen him, right?"
At least the people that this eldest sister is familiar with should not have seen it.
Liang Mingmin said, "Hasn't the people from the Vice Governor's Office seen it?"
Liang Mingyu grasped the key point, "Did you hear it from the people in the Deputy Governor's Office?"
Liang Mingmin did not hide it, "Yes, I went to the Deputy Governor's Mansion a few days ago and met Xiao Yuanshi's concubine. She told me."
Xiao Yuanshi is good-looking and is more in line with her aesthetic tastes.
She just didn't do it because he was too old and his position was too high.
But she always had some interest, so she was bored a few days ago and went to the Deputy Governor's Mansion for a tour.
When she met Xiao Yuanshi's concubine, she asked about him and expressed her interest in him, saying frankly that he was good-looking.
However, the concubine Ge told him that Xiao Yuanshi was much inferior in appearance to his son Xiao Hanzheng.
It is said that Xiao Hanzheng is handsome and gentle as jade. When he passed the imperial examination this year, he was still the first choice of husbands for the young ladies from the noble families in Beijing.
It’s a pity that Xiao Hanzheng is already married, so those women don’t care about him anymore.
That's why she became interested.
She just happened to hear that her half-brother was going to Heyang County, where Xiao Hanzheng was the county magistrate. She was also annoyed by the harassment from her fiancé's family recently, so she wanted to go with him to take a look.
Liang Mingyu secretly cursed Xiao Yuanshi's concubine for being crazy and actually telling Liang Mingmin this.
Then he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuanshi's concubine seemed to have been demoted to a concubine by Shi Qingluo.
It seemed like he said it on purpose for Liang Mingmin to hear. It made my head hurt even more.
He thought about it and reminded, "Princess, father is now trying his best to win over Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, so we can't ruin their good impression of Prince Jin's Mansion."
So you'd better not even think about taking action against Xiao Hanzheng.
Liang Mingmin raised his eyebrows in displeasure, "Father is talking about you, right?"
She curled her lips nonchalantly, "Besides, he is just a small county magistrate. Why should he be so timid when doing things?"
Liang Mingyu: “…” I should have known that he would not recommend himself to go to Heyang County.
He could only remind him again, "Although he is only a county magistrate, he is also someone that father wants to focus on winning over."
"Especially his wife Shi Qingluo, she is a golden child, and my father wants to win her over to work for the Jin Palace."
Liang Mingmin looked at him with a half-smile, "Liang Mingyu, is the reason you took the initiative to ask to go to Heyang County just to build a road?"
"I know exactly what you like. If you weren't interested in Shi Qingluo, would you have come all the way there?"
Liang Mingyu's thoughts were revealed by Liang Mingmin, who smiled awkwardly, "Not really. She is someone my father wants to win over. Even if I'm interested, I won't touch her."
So my little ancestor, please put those thoughts aside.
Liang Mingmin said: "If you take her in, won't she be completely at the service of Prince Jin's Mansion?"
"So I think we can divide the work and cooperate. You go find Shi Qingluo, and I'll find Xiao Hanzheng."
Liang Mingyu suddenly felt very upset, but he didn't want to say anything harsh to his younger sister, and she wouldn't listen to him either.
He thought for a moment and said, "You may not be attracted to Xiao Hanzheng."
Liang Mingmin shrugged, "If I don't like him, then I will naturally have no interest in him."
She smiled at him meaningfully again, "Don't worry, no matter whether I like Xiao Hanzheng or not, I won't stop you from hooking up with Shi Qingluo."
