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

Chapter 84: They Were Really Bold

Early the next morning, Xiao Hanzheng carried some saltpetre to the county yamen.

When Mo Qingling heard that Elementary Scholar Xiao wanted to see him, he was a little confused.

He had heard of Xiao Hanzheng's reputation. He was the first xiaosanyuan in Nanxi county, with a slightly better-than-average portfolio.

However, Xiao Hanzheng's little wife left the biggest impression on him, who had tied up Doctor Shi and complained to him the previous time.

He actually had some errands to run, but he postponed it and asked someone to call Xiao Hanzheng in.

Xiao Hanzheng was an elementary scholar, so he didn't need to kneel down when he visited an official.

He gave a scholar's salute to Mo Qingling. "I met you before, Sir!"

Mo Qingling looked at the gentle and elegant young man who walked in and couldn't help but leave a good impression of him.

Xiao Hanzheng didn't look like a scholar from a poor family in the countryside at all.

Mo Qingling was only a few years older than Xiao Hanzheng.

However, he still admired his talented peers.

A smile appeared on his cold face. "Do away with the formalities. Please take a seat!"

He went straight to the point and asked, "You came to see me today. What's the matter?"

He was really busy with official business and did not have any extra time to waste.

Xiao Hanzheng knew what kind of person Mo Qingling was.

He also bluntly stated his purpose for coming here. "I did have something to discuss with you today.

"My wife's master once taught them how to make ice. She was grateful for her master's kindness, so she wanted to share this with the public.

"Anyone who wants to learn how to make ice can do so.

"It's just that the Wu family wanted to forcefully buy this formula previously, but my wife did not want to waste her master's hard work, so she rejected it.

"We are afraid that if we teach others how to make ice in the village, the Wu family wouldn't agree and would find ways to make a fuss.

"So we wanted to ask Sir, if we could borrow the vacant space in the county yamen for me to teach everyone how to make ice.

"Firstly, the people living in the county could put them in ice basins at home to relieve the heat. Secondly, we can also make some icy cold drinks to earn some pocket money."

He paused again. "Of course, if Sir finds this formula useful, you can also offer it to the capital to let more people learn how to make ice to relieve the heat."

Although Mo Qingling was very busy at the county yamen, he knew everything that happened in the county.

Therefore, he had already heard about making ice during summer and was still a little sceptical.

But he really did not expect that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife would be so generous.

Not only did they decide to reveal the formula for free, but they also wanted to teach everyone how to make ice.

This was doing a good deed for other commoners, so he naturally would not object.

However, he still asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Yes, I have thought about it. I hope that Sir will approve it!"

Mo Qingling was amazed that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife were really bold and had a better impression of them.
