Chapter 37: Papermaking

"Little Marquis, are you going to open a papermaking workshop?" Long'er asked.

"Yes, but our paper will definitely not be the same as other people's papers. The paper we made will be white and soft, several times better than this hard yellow paper." Xuan Shijing was a little excited when he thought about it. It would be best to get the toilet paper out too...

"Little Marquis, papermaking is a technical job. You can't find a master to do it. There is no one in our mansion who knows how to make paper. How can we open a papermaking workshop?" Long'er saw Xuan Shijing's excited look, and was afraid that he would just make trouble temporarily.

"Although I'm just a little bit understanding, we can do a few more experiments. Long'er, the experiment has a true knowledge, just like a pineapple egg. How can I know how to do it if I don't do it a few more times? Yes, your marquis, I saw some papermaking materials and methods in ancient books, so we can try it." Xuan Shijing said: "Long'er, you have to help me in this matter, do you want to help me in one sentence?"

"Of course Long'er is willing to help the little marquis, but..."

"I have to have some confidence in your marquis." Xuan Shijing walked up to Long'er and said, "Let's get a small workshop first. Even if it doesn't work, it won't waste much money, right?"

Long'er nodded half-believingly.

"You go outside to find a few masters who are familiar with papermaking craftsmanship to bring them to the mansion. I will discuss the workshop with Uncle Zhong. It is not too late. As soon as I enter the palace and study, I may not have so much time to take care of these things." Xuan Shijing was very excited at this time.

"Little Marquis, this may take two days to wait. How can people come out to work on this New Year's Day?"

"Yes, okay, just wait two days. Uncle Zhong and I will finalize the workshop first in the past two days." Xuan Shijing said, suddenly remembering the assassin's incident: "Long'er, is there any movement in the mansion this morning?"

"What's the movement?"

"It's just an assassin. Aren't those three working chores in the front yard? Isn't anyone contacting them?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Long'er smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, little marquis, how come it is so fast? They just left here last night. Now, for them, the news is tight, so they will definitely not come to the Marquis' Mansion rashly, so they still need to wait for this matter."

Xuan Shijing raised his eyebrows, that's right, but he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves thinking about it. If he comes with a big fan, Xuan Shijing will definitely not be afraid. He is afraid of slashing you behind the scenes, which is a bit annoying. Anyway, the generals come to block the water and cover up the soil, and there is nothing to worry about with such good hands hidden in the marquis' mansion.

"Marty, His Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Wei have come down to the house." Xiao Huan's voice came from outside the study.

"Crown Prince? King Wei?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled: "What are they here for? The crown prince is still normal. Why is this King Wei coming?"

Didn’t Li Tai always dislike him?

"Little Marquis, let's go out to greet him quickly." Long'er saw Xuan Shijing standing there in a daze, and reminded him.

"Oh, okay." Xuan Shijing replied, then took Long'er out of the study and came to the hall.

In the hall, Wang was receiving Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Wei." When he walked into the hall, Xuan Shijing saw the two sitting on the Hu bench on one side and bowed his hands.

"You don't have to be too polite for brother Shijing." Li Chengqian came over to support Xuan Shijing: "I heard that an assassin came to the mansion last night. Gu came here today to see it. It would be fine if Shijing's brother was fine. Gu came here this time and brought some tonics to Shijing."

How did Li Chengqian know that an assassin came to the mansion? Good things didn't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles? Xuan Shijing was puzzled, and then he realized that Li Chengqian probably knew it from His Majesty Li Er. It was His Majesty Li Er's order to come to the Marquis' Mansion today. It seems that Li Erfeng's spy lurked in the Marquis' Mansion.

This is not surprising. Xuan Shijing smiled without a trace, then looked up at Li Chengqian: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. Shijing has nothing to do, so your Majesty and Your Highness are worried."

Li Tai, who was standing beside him, saw Li Chengqian talking with Xuan Shijing and sitting there, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the three people in the hall was a little subtle, Wang stood up and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the King of Wei are rarely coming to the mansion. It is also a revisiting place. So let's walk around the mansion. I won't disturb you much. Shijing, take Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the King of Wei out for a walk."

"Yes, mom." Xuan Shijing responded, looking at Li Tai, as if he had something to say to him, and he knew it.

Xuan Shijing's psychological age is at least in his thirties. If he can't see through a child of thirteen or fourteen, he will be really sorry for his two lives.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Wei, please follow me. Shijing takes you to see Dabao and Erbao." Xuan Shijing said.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up: "But the tiger who subdued two assassins last night?"

Xuan Shijing nodded and said, "Yes, Dabao is so powerful. Both assassins died in his mouth."

"I will actually protect you loyally. Let me go, brother Shijing, take me and my fourth brother to see." Li Chengqian excitedly pulled Li Tai and Xuan Shijing out.

Xuan Shijing smiled. It was indeed a child. Although as the prince, he was harshly taught by a large group of people all day long, showing his calmness and grandness as the crown prince of a country, he was always a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in his heart.

But this feeling of being suppressed in the heart is really unbearable. Li Chengqian's life is like that: either die in silence or explode. The final outcome is that he explodes and then disappoints everyone, but is this really his fault?

All kinds of people around him always have a lot of reasons to push the mistakes on the poor prince, believing that all good things are what he deserves, and all bad things are not deserved, but is this or not caused by him?

For Li Chengqian and Li Tai, the Marquis' Mansion is the old place and the place where they grew up. If we talk about it, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are more familiar with this Marquis' Mansion than Xuan Shijing. It is precisely because of this that it may have evoked memories of their childhood. Walking in the garden, the calmness and solemnity of the past will no longer exist. If it were not for the prince's uniform and the prince's royal uniform, it would look like two young masters from ordinary families.

Li Chengqian, who was walking in the garden, did not forget the serious matters. He stopped, reached out and pulled Li Tai's clothes, and looked at him.

Li Tai understood what Li Chengqian meant, but he still didn't know how to speak. A few years have passed, and the relationship between him and Xuan Shijing can be described as strangers. He suddenly wanted to say sorry to Xuan Shijing, but he really couldn't speak.

Li Chengqian sighed, knowing his younger brother's temperament. It seems that he still needs to speak some things.

"Brother Shijing." Li Chengqian called Xuan Shijing.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Xuan Shijing turned around and looked at Li Chengqian.

"Actually, there is one more thing for us brothers to come today. At the banquet yesterday, I also told you about the matter between Uncle Mingde and me and Qingque. Today I am here to apologize to you." Li Chengqian said sincerely.

"Apology?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, looked at Li Chengqian, and then looked at Li Tai. It seemed that the person who apologized was not Li Chengqian, but Li Tai. It was just that Li Tai was embarrassed to say it, but this made Xuan Shijing look at Li Chengqian with admiration.
