After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure-Chapter 614 - Isn’t that obvious?
614 Isn’t that obvious?
Although Liang Mingwen felt his heart ache, he was more forthcoming after making the decision.
He gave the title deeds of those houses to Xiao Hanzheng.
He also provided some craftsmen to help rebuild the academy.
Shi Qingluo was the one who had drawn the first version of the blueprint for the craftsmen academy.
!!
According to the layout of modern universities, she had also divided the college into several study areas, dormitories, canteens, and libraries.
Each study area corresponded to a different subject.
Because the land was very large, there were three canteens and a dormitory built around the study area.
Too bad, there were no tall buildings in ancient times.
The iron that had been modified as reinforced concrete could be used to build houses, so the dormitories were two-story bungalows.
However, Shi Qingluo was only responsible for the design and planning of the campus.
She was not a professional, so after drawing the general layout, Xiao Hanzheng asked the professional to draw a more detailed blueprint based on what she had.
When the time was right, the academy would also open an architecture course so that the students could help build houses when they graduate.
Xiao Hanzheng had been very busy recently and would go out from time to time.
He had requested a batch of corn seeds from the higher-ups, so he personally went to inspect a few counties that were suitable for planting corn.
He asked someone to supervise and distribute them to the residents for planting, just in case his subordinates cover this matter up secretly.
Shi Qingluo had also compiled a list of herbs, vegetables, and fruits that were suitable for planting.
Xiao Hanzheng had personally run a test trial and matched them up with suitable villages for plantation.
They also adopted the same farming pattern in Heyang County.
With a communal village concept, each village would raise pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks collectively.
Shi Qingluo helped him with the construction of the academy and was busy with the winery.
She would go to the winery every day and teach Fang Zhijun and the others how to make flower wine, fruit wine, and strong wine.
Once the winery was on the right track, she would be able to let go.
When she was free, she would teach Liang Youxiao about the outside world.
Soon, another month had passed, and the war at the border had completely erupted.
The third prince and Xiao Yuanshi led the army to resist the Ge Kingdom’s invasion.
For a moment, the entire northern border became tense.
The emperor’s men were very efficient.
The ships that could go out to sea were almost completed, and Liang Youxiao was summoned back to the capital to make preparations.
When he left, he also brought more than a dozen bottles of various wines.
Ten days later, Zhuo Jun came to Xiao Hanzheng.
“Jinyu, I’ve received news that my mother and the others will set off in three days to search for the treasure.”
“Is Prince Jin going too?” Xiao Hanzheng asked.
Zhuo Jun nodded. “Those from the previous dynasty and Prince Jin’s residence will join forces. Each side will provide half of the treasure map, and my mother will take the key to the treasure.
“They’ve agreed to split the treasure 40 to 60, Prince Jin 40, and the previous dynasty 60.”
“It’s normal to split it like this,” Xiao Hanzheng said.
“Did the Ge Kingdom not get involved?” he asked Zhuo Jun suddenly.
Zhuo Jun looked at him and shook his head. “No. This time, it’s just the people from the previous dynasty and Prince Jin’s side.
“However, the Ge Kingdom has agreed to help restrain the third prince, Deputy Governor Xiao, and Prince Yi. The previous dynasty and Prince Jin would probably provide some benefits later.”
“Will you go with them?” Xiao Hanzheng asked again.
“My mother asked me to go with her. I can be your spy,” Zhuo Jun replied.
“You should also prepare well. When the time comes, follow behind. I’ll send you the information and route at any time.”
“I’ll prepare for it in the next two days.” Xiao Han nodded.
“You should also prioritize your safety,” he said after some thought.
“I will,” Zhuo Jun said with a smile.
After Zhuo Jun left, Xiao Hanzheng made some preparations.
Shi Qingluo would soon find out about this and would follow along.
It should be very exciting.
However, Xiao Hanzheng was the one doing all the preparation work, so Shi Qingluo was relatively free these two days.
The next day, she went shopping with Xi Rong.
Tired from shopping, the two of them went to a teahouse to rest and happened to meet their Secondary Consort Hua, who came to check on the shop.
This teahouse was under Prince Jin’s residence. ƒre𝐞𝘸𝑒𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍 𝐜𝑜m
After he divorced Ruan Songling, Secondary Consort Hua took over all of her properties.
When Secondary Consort Hua saw Shi Qingluo, she walked over to greet her with a warm and friendly smile.
“Greetings, Princess Fubao, and marquis!”
...
Shi Qingluo had a good impression of Secondary Consort Hua and greeted her politely with a smile. “Greetings, Secondary Consort Hua!”
“You’re here to drink tea too?”
Secondary Consort Hua smiled and said, “I came to check out the shop. It’s rare for us to meet. If the two of you don’t mind, why don’t we have a cup of tea together?”
Shi Qingluo did not reject her. “Sure.”
Hence, the three of them went to a private room, and Secondary Consort Hua personally made tea.
After it was done, she handed a cup to Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong.
She picked up another cup and was about to drink it herself.
Who knew that as her sleeve flicked, the tea set on the table would be tossed to the ground?
She wanted to pick it up and didn’t hold the teacup firmly.
The tea spilled out and landed on her dress.
The weather was still a little cold, and she was wearing thick clothes, hence she wasn’t scalded by the tea.
...
Secondary Consort Hua put down her teacup and helplessly instructed one of the maidservants beside her, “Go to the carriage and bring my spare clothes over.”
The maidservant bowed. “Yes!”
Then she gave another servant girl a look.
The maidservant understood and went out to close the door. She then stood guard at the door.
After the two maidservants left, Secondary Consort Hua suddenly grabbed Shi Qingluo’s hand.
Shi Qingluo looked at her in confusion, what was she doing?
Secondary Consort Hua leaned over and whispered into Shi Qingluo’s ear, “Be careful of an ambush in two days.”
Shi Qingluo was taken aback, clearly surprised by her words.
They would be finding treasure two days later.
This must be what Secondary Consort Hua was talking about.
Shi Qingluo asked, “Aren’t they looking for something? Couldn’t it be just setting a trap for me right?”
“No,” Secondary Consort Hua replied, “They’re going to look for something, but they’ll also take advantage of you.”
Shi Qingluo looked at her with a half-smile and asked, “Are you trying to remind me?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Secondary Consort Hua asked back with a calm gaze.
Shi Qingluo was puzzled. “Why? ”
Wasn’t Secondary Consort Hua supposed to be on the same side as Prince Jin? Why did she have to remind her?
Was there a conspiracy behind this?
Secondary Consort Hua did not hide anything and said directly, “It’s for my son.”
She took a deep breath.
“I only hope that when Prince Jin’s residence disappears, you can let my son go and leave him a way out.”
When she heard this, Shi Qingluo looked at her Secondary Consort Hua’s expression and felt that she was not lying.
“Don’t you have confidence in Prince Jin?” she asked.
Secondary Consort Hua laughed.
“They can’t see the situation clearly. Isn’t it only a matter of time before they fail?
“With his personality and style of doing things, if he can really climb to the top, he will only bring disaster to the world. I’m afraid Daliang will have to change its surname after a few generations.”
Shi Qingluo realized that Secondary Consort Hua seemed to have gone all out today. Her words were unusually bold.
“You were also involved in their plan?” she asked.
Otherwise, how would she have known about this?
