After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Chapter 98 - Little liar
Mo Qingling stood up, crossed his arms, and said to Shi Qingluo, “In that case, thank you very much!”
Since the first ti he t Shi Qingluo, he had already felt that she did not look like a village woman. Now that he looked at her, she was indeed not simple.
He could not help but ask, “Did your master teach you all this?”
There were not many people in the county who did not know that Scholar Xiao’s wife was the disciple of an old immortal.
Mo Qingling had also heard a lot of it and didn’t think much about it initially.
How would an old immortal appear in this world?
But now, along with the things that Shi Qingluo had been tinkering with, not to ntion won, even many n didn’t have the knowledge, he couldn’t help but waver.
Of course, he also didn’t believe that there was any immortal, but he believed that that old Taoist might really be an exceptionally knowledgeable person in this world.
Otherwise, how could he have nurtured such an insightful and powerful woman.
Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled. “That’s right. It’s all because of the master’s teachings.”
Master, tomorrow, I’ll go and offer you a few more incense sticks. As an elderly, please bear with it.
After all, she did not want to be treated as a witch and burned to death.
Mo Qingling asked curiously, “Did he teach you all these directly?”
Shi Qingluo replied, “Not all of them. My master is busy refining pills and cultivating most of the ti.
“But he will give us many different kinds of books for us to learn.
“For example, making tofu, mosquito incense, and the sesa paste that I ntioned just now, I learnt them from the books.
“Of course, my master will also find ti to teach us so that we can learn more and do more. So that we can broaden our horizons.”
She made up a story that sounded very logical.
Anyway, the priest and the other Taoist children were gone, so no one knew whether what she said was true or not.
Obviously, everyone in the crowd, except for Xiao Hanzheng, believed her.
Mo Qingling could not help but ask, “Are those books still around?”
If those books were still around, they would definitely be able to do a lot of things to make Daliang even richer and stronger.
Shi Qingluo shook her head regretfully. “They’re not here anymore. They were all placed in the main hall at that ti, and they were all burned.”
Mo Qingling was disappointed, but she did not show it on her face. “Then have you finished reading them all?”
Shi Qingluo liked it when he asked such questions. “I have read most of them.”
In the future, with Mo Qingling, the Empress’ nephew, as her witness, she would definitely be able to use her identity as the old immortal’s disciple. When she went to the capital, she had him to “help” her in her studies.
In the future, probably not many would stare at her and ask about this.
Mo Qingling asked again, “Other than what you’ve done before, is there anything else? For example, other things that are beneficial to the residents’ livelihood?”
Since Shi Qingluo had finished reading most of them, it ant that there was still a chance that they would co in handy.
Shi Qingluo blurted nonsense with a serious expression, “There is, but it’s very strange. If I think about it carefully, my mind will go blank and I won’t rember anything.
“But when I see certain things from ti to ti, I will suddenly rember that this kind of thing can be used in a different way.
“Just like when you asked what is suitable for Nanxi county just now, the idea in my mind was ‘flax’ and then ‘other uses of flax’.”
Of course, she still had a lot of things in her mind, not to ntion that she still had the “ti travel encyclopaedia”.
However, she couldn’t throw it all out at once. This would made it worthless.
Moreover, it wasn’t realistic to reveal everything at one go.
She wouldn’t be able to beco a big fat person by eating a lot in one go.
Revealing them bit by bit might make the higher-ups fear it, but most of them would probably want to obtain things from her that would benefit the nations and its people.
This would then be her and her family’s protective shield.
If she revealed everything, who knew if Mo Qingling or the emperor above him would kill the donkey after the grinding was done.
These words stunned the few people sitting around. So, it was like this?
The chief and the others believed that the old Taoist was an old immortal.
They felt that this happened to Shi Qingluo because the immortal master must be testing her and giving her so hints.
Mo Qingling was sceptical.
However, since Shi Qingluo had said so, he naturally couldn’t press further
He just emphasised solemnly, “If you still have good ideas to benefit the people, you can co to . I will report it to the higher-ups.”
The underlying aning was that if you have sothing good, you can tell directly. I won’t be greedy for credit. I’ll let the higher-ups know.
Shi Qingluo was waiting for his promise. “Sure, if I rember anything, I’ll co and look for you with my husband.”
In ancient tis, it wasn’t that convenient for a woman to travel alone or to visit others.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to make a move when she saw her young husband’s beauty.
In the end, she was pleasantly surprised.
It was like opening an easter egg.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her to do anything if she was alone or married to a man with machismo traits.
Mo Qingling sat for a while more before leaving with his people.
The chief and the others smiled and congratulated Xiao Hanzheng, telling him to focus more on the imperial examinations. Then, they left too.
After they left, Shi Qingluo said to Xiao Hanzheng, “Old Xiao, can you get a custom-made iron pot in a day or two in the county?”
There was an iron shop in the county for ordering custom made iron tools.
Xiao Hanzheng replied, “It depends on what kind of pot you order. If it’s needed urgently, it should be done in a day or two.
“Why do you want to order a pot?”
Shi Qingluo nodded. “I want to order a cooking pot to eat instant-boiled mutton.
“It can also be used for instant-boiled vegetables. It’s convenient and delicious.
“When I ntioned flax paste today, I thought of eating instant-boiled mutton.”
Although the weather was hot, it didn’t stop her craving to eat it.
After saying that, she was sowhat nostalgic for the days eating hotpot and drinking beer on a hot day in the modern era.
She didn’t know if the ancient people liked drinking beer. She knew how to brew it.
She felt that she could give it a try so other day.
Since so many people liked it in the modern era, the ancient people should be able to accept it, right?
It wasn’t just beer. She also knew how to brew liquor.
There was a period of ti that her grandfather was interested in brewing wine, so he let her accompany him to a number of wineries. She had visited so of the winemakers and had personally brewed so before.
She had never tried grape wine and fruit wine, but there was a brewing thod in the “ti travel encyclopaedia”.
Xiao Hanzheng thought to himself, he was confident that the glow in his wife’s eyes when she ntioned the flax paste just now ant she was thinking of eating sothing.
He couldn’t help but laugh. “Draw the blueprint of that pot. I’ll bring it to the county town in a while to make it for you.”
What could he do? Since his wife wanted to eat boiled mutton, he naturally had to satisfy her.
Shi Qingluo suddenly threw herself into Xiao Hanzheng’s arms. “Zheng Zheng, I love you to death!”
Her husband was really too good.
Xiao Hanzheng hurriedly reached out to catch her and hugged her in his arms.
There was a helpless smile in his eyes. “When you want to do things, you will like and love at the sa ti.”
Usually, he was Old Xiao, when she wanted to ask him for a favour, she would sweet talk him into Zheng Zheng.
And she didn’t feel ashad saying how much she liked and loved him. Little liar.
Of course, he would never admit that he actually quite liked how shaless she was.
Shi Qingluo’s eyes were full of smiles as she hugged his neck. “If you see through it, don’t say it out loud.”
As expected, not only was her IQ high, her EQ was also very high.
“You!” Xiao Hanzheng rubbed his forehead against hers.
His eyes were filled with a never-before-seen affection.
He really couldn’t do anything about his little wife.
She was sent by the heavens to subdue him.
