After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 131: How could he disappoint her

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and wondered what a self-centred youth like Xi Rui would enjoy.

She played a lot in modern days, but had limited avenues to do so in the ancient era.

She suddenly thought of something and looked at Liang Youxiao, “Is the capital paved with cement yet?”

Liang Youxiao was a little confused.

She changed the topic so quickly. “Yeah, the east and south streets leading directly to the palace and the city gate were mostly paved with cement.

“There is also a cemented road from the city gate leading to official constitutions.

“Needless to say, the cement you made is really good.

“Horse carriages run faster and more smoothly than before.

“The east and south streets are also cleaner.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “That’s good.

“I’ll make something fun in a few days’ time.

“Get someone to send it to Xi Rui and see if he likes to play with it.”

She thought of skateboarding.

In the modern era, many youths enjoyed skateboarding.

It also had many tricks and stunts.

She had skateboarded with her group of friends when she was in high school.

There were too few entertainments in ancient times, so skateboarding might spur a new fashion wave in the capital.

Liang Youxiao asked curiously, “What’s it for?”

Shi Qingluo smiled. “If I tell you, you won’t know either. I’ll show you once I’m done.”

Liang Youxiao pursed his lips. “It’s specially made to keep others in suspense.”

Shi Qingluo waved at him and Third Son Shi. “Alright, y’all can leave now.”

Third Son Shi was especially self-conscious of his thoughts. “Alright, I’ll go home and talk to Fourth Son Shi. He wasn’t in school today.”

Then, he got up and left.

He was really a little afraid of his daughter.

And from the looks of it, this rich and powerful young master from the capital was also going on board her pirate ship.

Liang Youxiao was speechless seeing Third Son Shi running so fast.

This was the first time he had seen a father who was so afraid of his daughter.

He looked at Shi Qingluo and then at Xiao Hanzheng.

He guessed that they might have something to discuss together.

He stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll walk around and explore the village.”

He looked at Shi Qingluo expectantly and asked, “By the way, what are we eating tonight?”

Previously, he would definitely not be able to live in such an outdated and dilapidated village for days.

As he stayed with the Xiao family, he was very satisfied with both the latrine and the bathing facilities.

Most importantly, he ate dishes that he had never eaten before, so he was prepared to continue following Fei Yuzhe.

He would return to the capital together with him.

After Liang Youxiao left, Xiao Hanzheng smiled and grabbed Shi Qingluo’s hand. “Little rascal.”

Shi Qingluo stood up and sat on his lap.

She wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t you think my idea is good?”

Xiao Hanzheng pressed his hand against her forehead and chuckled. “It is indeed very good.”

Shi Qingluo asked, “Do you think Xi Rui can do this?”

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “Xi Rui is famous in the capital for being a little devil. There is nothing that he doesn’t dare to do.

“As long as the plan goes on smoothly, there isn’t a problem at all.”

Shi Qingluo leaned against him and asked lazily, “How will it go on smoothly?

“Because of the medicine given to my scumbag father, as well as the people chosen to do the job.”

Xiao Hanzheng said, “I can make the medicine colourless and tasteless. After taking the medicine, no matter how hard one tries, one won’t be able to detect it in his pulse.

“When the time is right, let Liang Youxiao send it to Xi Rui as well.

“I have a candidate on my side as well. I will hint Liang Youxiao to mention it when I send the message to Xi Rui.

“Not only will it make it difficult for my scumbag father to take revenge, but it will also disperse my scumbag father’s hatred towards Xi Rui.”

If Liang Youxiao had not nominated Xi Rui, he would have thought of letting one of his scumbag father’s enemies to do it behind his back.

His little wife wanted to watch a big show. How could he let her down?

However, Liang Youxiao’s nominee was indeed better than the person he thought of, so he tacitly agreed.

Shi Qingluo had always known that her young husband, who appeared to be a gentle and elegant youth, was actually even wicker than her.

She asked curiously, “What’s so special about the person you’re thinking of?”

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “There’s an old profligate in the capital who is promiscuous and unable to restrain his desires.

“Not only does he have many concubines in his backyard, but he also has many male attendants.

“The key is that he came from a royal family and is our emperor’s biological uncle.

“He also supported our current emperor’s ascension back then. When the emperor was still a child, he helped him and his mother.

“Although he is a profligate, the emperor took great care of him.

“Therefore, he is very daring and fearless.

“If Xi Rui went to say that he found out that Xiao Yuanshi had the same hidden hobby, he would most likely give it a try after Xi Rui instigated him.

“Of course, if my scumbag father came from a rich and influential family, that emperor’s uncle wouldn’t be stupid enough to touch him.

“But my scumbag father is just a new aristocrat and a general from a humble background. The emperor’s uncle wouldn’t care about him at all.”

His scumbag father had just returned to the capital not long ago.

Although he was valued by the emperor because of his achievements and capabilities, he still hadn’t been able to stand firmly on his feet.

Therefore, even if this matter was successful, no matter how much his scumbag father hated the emperor’s uncle and Xi Rui, he could only bear with it.

If this plan was executed by anyone else, his father would definitely think of a way to kill those who were against him.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would not go so far as to sacrifice innocent outsiders for their ideas.

This uncle of the emperor acted without any consistency, and had the backing of the emperor, so he was the best candidate.

In his previous life, Xiao Hanzheng might not have cared about these in order to take revenge.

However, his little wife had influenced him.

He wanted to safeguard his bottom line too.

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said, “Big scoundrel, but I like it!”

She had just mentioned it.

Who would have thought that her little husband had already thought of all the subsequent problems and perfected them.

Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to teach the villagers how to make vermicelli? Why don’t you go directly to the county town and teach everyone like how I taught them how to make ice?”

He wanted to beef up his wife’s reputation and influence in order to tie more people’s interests with hers.

Those who wanted to scheme against her also had to be careful.

Otherwise, there would be a very serious backlash.

Shi Qingluo knew what he was thinking. “Alright, since we are already letting off a sheep, we might as well let off the entire flock.

“Even if most people in Nanxi county make vermicelli and sell it, the demand wouldn’t be lacking.”

After all, the vermicelli market was still empty.

She had verified that those made from green beans had better quality.

Green beans had the most amylose so it wouldn’t rot easily when cooking it, and the texture was the most slurpy.

They could also make vermicelli from peas and broad beans planted by the people in Nanxi county too.

Broad beans were now called hu beans.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, when I return to the county school tomorrow, I’ll also mention it to Mo Qingling. I’m sure he’ll be very happy.”

Mo Qingling also wanted to help the commoners and make Nanxi county rich.

Now, not only had their county planted polygonum multiflorum, but they also formed a team in the sesame oil processing workshop for exports.

They heard that the supply was still lacking.

As the Bai family restaurant had launched Shi Qingluo’s cooking pot, sesame paste also became popular in their county.
