However, Zhao Hao turned a deaf ear and continued to approach Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning was forced to the edge of the cabinet, with nowhere to retreat. Seeing that Zhao Hao was still approaching, she became really panicked.
Looking at the faint smile on Zhao Hao's lips, Princess Yongning felt shy, anxious and annoyed. She quickly put her arms across her chest and closed her eyes.
Then, she felt Zhao Hao coming very close to her, and his breath hit her face.
Princess Yongning's heart was pounding and her brain went blank again.
What will he do?
Like last time?
No.
We can't let this bad guy do that again.
It's so embarrassing!
Just when her mind was full of thoughts, Zhao Hao's voice rang in her ears.
"Your Highness, why are you so nervous?"
“I just wanted to get a painting.”
Princess Yongning suddenly opened her eyes.
She saw Zhao Hao holding a piece of cut white linen paper in his hand and motioning to her.
Then he gently opened the paper, revealing a very delicate portrait.
When Princess Yongning saw this, she felt extremely embarrassed and her pretty face immediately turned red.
Her breathing was rapid and she was so embarrassed that she pushed Zhao Hao hard on the chest and ran out quickly.
But as soon as she ran to the door, she found that this time was different from the last time. There was no room for her this time.
He stopped again immediately.
Seeing her like this,
Zhao Hao smiled softly.
"Your Highness, I took some time to draw this this afternoon. Come and see how it turns out."
Princess Yongning stood at the door motionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.
She still didn't turn around, and after a long silence, she finally said, "I'm going back first!"
Having said that, he opened the door and ran out.
Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's past curfew. Stay in the manor for one night and go back tomorrow morning!"
Princess Yongning acted as if she didn't hear anything. She ran out of the yard and disappeared.
Zhao Hao stood at the door.
I couldn't help shaking my head.
This little white pigeon's endurance is still too poor.
I originally thought that after more than ten days of letter teasing, my tolerance would be stronger than before.
It's all in vain.
He didn't chase after her.
Although there was a curfew, the city gate could not stop the little white dove.
After a simple tidying up, Zhao Hao took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, after explaining everything to Wang Mengyu, Zheng Zhiqian and Luo Bi, he left the village and returned to the city.
The paper is ready, and the next step is to prepare for printing.
For him, movable type printing was even simpler than papermaking.
After entering the city, he did not return to the mansion, but went directly to the first floor.
Seeing Zhao Hao coming back, Su Si immediately came forward to greet him.
"Young Master!"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Is there anything going on in the restaurant recently?"
Su Si shook her head: "Nothing's wrong, everything is normal, the first, second and third floors are always full every day."
"That's good, Lao Zhong, go to the kitchen and get me some food and send it to the fourth floor."
"Miss Su, come upstairs with me."
He came back early, before the guests arrived.
Su Si nodded and followed him up to the fourth floor.
Zhao Hao asked, "Have those two guys, Prince Yu and Prince Stupid, come here recently?"
Su Si said softly, "Prince Yu came once the day before yesterday and invited a few people from unknown places. Prince Chun has never come again."
Zhao Hao nodded: "That's good, tell me as soon as there is anything!"
Su Si asked, "Sir, have you made the paper? Is this the roll?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Yes, this is white hemp paper, take a look."
Su Si gently opened a roll of white linen paper and immediately smelled a faint fragrance.
Touch it gently with your hand and you will immediately feel a touch of delicateness and softness.
Her beautiful eyes soon lit up.
"Sir, although the quality of this paper is not as good as bamboo paper, it is still quite beautiful and has a unique flavor."
“The glossiness is a little worse, but the feel is just as fine, and the toughness is also sufficient.”
“Whether this paper is used for writing or painting, it is an excellent choice!”
“Once the sale starts, it will be hard to get a single page!”
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "It's too early to sell it. It will take at least until next year. The current production is still insufficient."
"By the way, has the restaurant's accounts for this month come out?"
"The workshop still needs a lot of money, and the money we earn here has to continue to subsidize them!"
"Also, you will be in charge of the dividends from the wine shop. The subsidy from the restaurant's dividends alone is not enough."
The workshop purchases white hemp every day. Although it is only two cents per pound, there is no upper limit on the quantity, so it is still a huge expense.
Add to that the daily wages of multiple people, and the amount would be even higher.
Su Si said, "Sir, I will manage the restaurant. As for the share of the dry wine, it would be better for you to let Uncle Zhong manage it."
Zhao Hao was immediately puzzled: "Why, what's the problem with Miss Su?"
Su Si shook her head: "No, it's just that the monthly dividends from Ganjiu are too much, it's not appropriate for me to manage it."
Hearing this, Zhao Hao immediately understood.
He immediately smiled and said, "Miss Su, don't think too much about this. Since I've said I'll leave it to you to manage, just do it with peace of mind."
Su Si pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sir."
"That's right!"
Zhao Hao smiled.
Su Si said, "Sir, in recent days, the Princess Li Ge from Shu has been coming to the restaurant quite often. Every time she comes, she asks when you will be back."
"She seems to know that the young master has opened a papermaking workshop in the imperial manor, and seems to want to cooperate with the young master."
Zhao Hao was stunned: "Then Princess Li Ge is still in the Imperial Capital?"
Su Si nodded: "Always here. I met with Princess Yongning several times on our first floor before. It seems that they were discussing cooperation."
Zhao Hao said: "What was the result? How did the talk go? Do you know?"
The last time I came back, I met Princess Li Ge, and she also talked about wanting to start cooperation.
After he agreed, he asked the other party to talk to Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning went to the imperial farm twice, but she did not mention the matter, and it is not known how the two talked about it.
I think it shouldn't be a big problem.
If we could sell dry wine and soap to Shu, our income would increase dramatically.
Su Si said softly, "It should have been negotiated, but I don't know the details. If you want to know, you should ask Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Zhao Hao shook his head: "Forget it, whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me. Anyway, it's fine as long as my share is not reduced. I don't want to care about other things!"
