Chapter 242: Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess summons you!The whole journey had left him with a psychological trauma. When Ming Pixu gritted his teeth and got back into the carriage, his heart was broken and desperate. For Ming Pixu, this road that suddenly became flat and not bumpy at all was the only light in the abyss! It's a life saver!! Ming Pixu excitedly pulled aside the curtain, thinking that he would see the prosperous capital city. however…… "We haven't entered the city yet?" Although he had never been to the capital before, this place with weeds growing on both sides of the road and a wilderness where only a few wisps of smoke could be seen occasionally in the distance could not possibly be the imperial city! Ming Pixu lowered his head in astonishment. This time, he was even more shocked: "Why is this road so smooth? Has the road to the capital always been like this?" "It should be newly built. I have never seen such a smooth road before." Hearing his question, the driver turned his head slightly: “When I came here last year, this place was no different from other places, it was all dirt roads! You are lucky, sir. They knew you couldn’t stand the bumps, so they rebuilt the roads here this year.”
"You haven't seen it before?" In other words, this method of road construction is likely to have only appeared this year? If that's the case, then he'd better find out. If you can learn such a powerful method, would you still be worried about not being able to make money? Thinking that the Ming family might be able to reach an unprecedented peak under his leadership in the future, and he himself would be able to sit firmly on the throne of the president of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, Ming Bixu felt that the discomfort caused by motion sickness seemed to have been reduced a lot! The first thing he did after entering the city was to ask people about this road. And his men did not disappoint him, and soon came back with the latest news. "You said that this was paved by the princess herself?" "That's exactly what the people outside are saying." The servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded vigorously: "This is no secret in the city. The road was paved less than a month ago, and Her Highness even published a job opening notice in the capital's daily newspaper. It is said that when the road was being paved, people from the Imperial Army were mobilized to help block the road, blocking off sections and paving them at the same time. These main roads in the city, plus the highway we took when we entered Beijing, were all paved right under the noses of the people of the city. The material used is what Her Royal Highness had people use to rebuild the dam, and it’s called cement.” "cement……" Ming Pixu had also heard about the princess's prediction of the flood in her dream through Tiansheng Weekly. But because he didn't see it with his own eyes, and it had nothing to do with him, he never really took it to heart. But I didn't expect that cement was so extraordinary... Ming Bixu couldn't wait to ask: "Have you found out anything about cement?" “I heard that this thing was first thought up by Her Royal Highness the Princess and a man named Jiang from the Ministry of Works. The court built a cement factory outside the city specifically for producing cement, but the formula was never circulated. Your Highness paid for the road repair out of her own pocket this time, and she bought the cement from the cement factory!"
The servant recalled what he had learned today and was about to add a few more words. Suddenly, another servant ran in hurriedly: "Master, someone from the palace just brought a message saying that Her Highness the Princess invites you to meet her at the Ministry of Works tomorrow! "Prince?" Ming Bixu jumped up in shock and subconsciously looked outside: "Is the person who brought the message still here?" “It seems that the father-in-law has other things to do, and it’s quite urgent. I wanted to come to you directly at first, but he said it would be the same if I told him to pass on the message, so he left after leaving that message. "The servant who delivered the message was also meeting someone from the palace for the first time, and he was a little nervous at the moment: "Master, do you think there is anything wrong with this? If there is a need, then maybe the father-in-law hasn't gone too far. I can try and maybe I can catch up with him." "No need." Ming Bixu slowly exhaled: "Just leave if you want to. Did the eunuch tell me why Her Royal Highness summoned me to the Ministry of Works?" "No." The servant shook his head decisively: "He just told you to go to the Ministry of Industry at 9:00 . tomorrow." "..." Because he really couldn't figure out the reason why the princess summoned him, Ming Bixu finally ended the pain of the long-distance carriage ride temporarily. He should have had a good sleep, but he tossed and turned on the couch all night. When he woke up the next morning, the huge dark circles under his eyes and his face that looked even more haggard than the previous few days frightened his personal servant. I had to run out and buy two more cans of women's cosmetics. Ming Hisuo: “…” "Can you really do this?" He was a little worried: "Have you ever used it on anyone before?" "Don't worry, isn't this just to make your face whiter?" The servant felt that his master was worrying for nothing. It was just a matter of smearing this stuff on the face. What could go wrong? It's better than for me to meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess with these two eye bags that are almost hanging to my chin, right? The straight male servant with a very tragic aesthetic taste worked hard on Ming Pixu's face. When he was finally done, he admired his work with great satisfaction: “It looks much better now!” Look, how white it is! The two big dark bags under my eyes are completely gone! Ming Pixu took a casual look at the unclear bronze mirror and felt that his face had not changed much except that it was a little paler than before. After hearing the servant say that everything was fine, he put down the bronze mirror with confidence and stood up. "Let's go, we have to get to the Ministry of Works as soon as possible, we can't let Her Highness wait for us." "Don't worry, sir. The driver is already waiting outside. There will definitely be enough time!" ……
Here, Ming Pixu and his servant rushed to the Ministry of Works early. On the other side, Yun Shu was still in the carriage, carefully instructing Yun Chuhuan: "When I'm talking to someone later, don't interrupt me, and don't tell anyone about it afterwards. Otherwise, no matter how much trouble you make next time, I won't take you out of the palace, understand?" "Fifth sister, don't worry! Don't you trust me?" Yun Chuhuan patted his chest and gave a very convincing reason - "I am now living on the dividends from Tiansheng Weekly and Jingcheng Daily that you, Fifth Sister, gave me. Even if I want to offend my father, I would never dare to offend you!" Yun Shu: “…” Okay, I'll just believe it. He took Yun Chuhuan to the Ministry of Industry and learned that the president of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce was already waiting in the side yard. Yun Shu turned his head and paused.
