Through Time Chapter 4

It is night.

Zhao Lang was looking at the bamboo slip in front of him with a big head.

This was the information sent by Uncle Fu, but he couldn’t read it at all.

At this moment, a knock sounded at the door, while a soft voice came from

“My lord, Little Nine has come in.”

Zhao Lang looked up and saw that a young girl with a goose egg face and clear eyebrows looking sixteen or seventeen years old, walked in.

In her hand, she was also carrying a basin of hot water.

“My lord, Xiaojiu is washing up for you.”

Zhao Lang knew that this was his personal maid.

He watched the young girl skillfully wet a towel then wring it out and prepare to wipe his face.

As a good young man, how could Zhao Lang stand this kind of feudal dregs?

So said.

“Xiao Jiu, you put it there, I’ll do it myself.”

Little Nine looked at Zhao Lang and said, timidly

“My lord, is there something Xiao Jiu did not do well? Please chastise me, Your Excellency.”

Looking at the young girl’s scared look, Zhao Lang could only say that the rules in this family were really big.

“It’s alright, you do it.”

It was not good for Zhao Lang to make things difficult for a young maid.

And he still had a lot of confidence in himself, there was absolutely no way he would just be corrupted by feudal dross like that!

He would definitely be able to stand the test!

Little Nine had already reached the side with a towel by this time.

“My lord, Xiao Jiu will wipe your face.”

Zhao Lang only felt a pair of slender jade hands with a wet and hot towel.

It moved slowly over his face.

At the same time, there was even a faint fragrance of a young girl coming from his side.

For the first time, Zhao Lang felt that washing his face could be so comfortable!

“What an evil feudal society!”

Zhao Lang exclaimed.

This made him even more determined in his mind.

How could it be enough to test only three years of this life of all evils?

It must be tested for a few more years.

Rebellion! There must be a rebellion!

But Zhao Lang soon remembered something and asked.

“By the way, where did Xiao Qi go?”

Zhao Lang remembered that he himself had two maids, one was Xiaojiu and the other was Xiaoqi.

Hearing this Xiao Jiu, however, was shaken, her eyes quickly flushed red and she knelt down directly on the ground, crying and saying

“Sir, please still let Xiao Qi go, she didn’t mean to make you fall.”

“Uncle Fu has put Xiao Qi in the cellar, Xiao Qi won’t survive for a few days.”

Zhao Lang was slightly stunned, remembering some vague memories.

When his own original master had fallen, it was Xiao Qi who was taking care of him.

That was why he had been punished by Uncle Fu.

But in a way, Xiao Qi was his benefactor instead.

Zhao Lang was just about to say something, when suddenly the system’s voice rang out again and

“One: Choose to punish Xiao Qi, and reward the Complete Book of Regular Script Characters.”

“Two: Choose to spare Xiao Qi, reward paper making.”

Both choices were actually wanted by Zhao Lang in his heart.

Now that Qin was now using bamboo slips and codified texts, it was simply difficult for ordinary people to get an education.

If paper and regular characters were available, then it would greatly increase the speed of popularisation.

If he had to choose between the two, Zhao Lang would choose the second one for reasons of reason.

Although regular script was important, it was not something that could be achieved overnight if it was to become widespread.

The art of papermaking, on the other hand, could quickly increase the efficiency of book production and increase income.

There was of course a more personal reason for this.

That is, he really didn’t want to poke his delicate buttocks with small pieces of bamboo.

Zhao Lang quickly said that

“Xiao Jiu you don’t have to worry, I’ll go talk to Uncle Fu and release Xiao Qi.”

Xiao Jiu froze for a moment, then cried and laughed again and said

“Thank you, Gongzi! Thank you, Your Excellency!”

Zhao Lang got up and helped Xiao Jiu up from the ground.

“Don’t cry, you won’t even be pretty if you cry anymore.”

After consoling Xiao Jiu, Zhao Lang walked out of the room and asked someone to call Uncle Fu over.

“Gongzi, you called me.”

Uncle Fu asked suspiciously, it was already dark now.

“Uncle Fu, I want Xiao Qi to come back to serve me.”

Zhao Lang said straightforwardly.

Uncle Fu, however, frowned a little.

“My lord, Xiao Qi, she is not well taken care of, I have locked her up in the cellar as a punishment.”

“Was it Little Nine who pleaded with you, I’ll go and reprimand her properly.”

“As a servant girl, how dare you make a request to you, Your Excellency!”

Zhao Lang waited for him to finish, then revealed a smile and continued to say that

“Uncle Fu, I want Xiao Qi back.”

Uncle Fu wanted to say something else, but when he looked at Zhao Lang, for some reason, the figure of the family head came to mind.

His heart churned a little and he returned to.

“Yes, my lord.”

Only then did Zhao Lang nod in satisfaction and say that

“By the way, Uncle Fu, after sending Xiao Qi over, then call the craftsmen from the manor over, I have some orders to give.”

This time, Uncle Fu did not issue any questions and spoke directly to

“Yes, my lord.”

Then he went off on his errand.

It was not long before Uncle Fu came over with a pale, but distinguished-looking maiden, and a few smiths.

“Little Nine, go and take Little Seven to rest properly.”

Zhao Lang instructed.

Xiao Qi was locked up in the cellar, which was equivalent to confinement, and it was extremely damaging to his spirit.

Once Xiao Jiu had taken Xiao Qi away, Zhao Lang taught the artisans the paper making technique he had just obtained from the system side.

After hearing this, the craftsmen looked at each other in disbelief.

“My lord, this paper you are talking about, and this method of yours, we have never heard of it before.”

Zhao Lang smiled and said that

“No matter, you just follow the method I have told you, and tomorrow at dawn, you will make some out first, as big as the palm of your hand.”

Let’s get the farts out of the way first.

The system had given him a relatively complete paper-making technique, which allowed him to use bamboo, sandalwood bark, wheat stalks and rice stalks as raw materials for making paper.

The process is also relatively simple and does not require a high level of technical skill.

“Yes, my lord.”

Faced with Zhao Lang’s insistence, the craftsmen could only respond.

“Uncle Fu, what I have just taught you is not allowed to leak out.”

Zhao Lang instructed Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu returned and

“Don’t worry, my lord, I will keep an eye on it.”

Zhao Lang nodded, he was still assured of Fubo’s loyalty.

“Well, Uncle Fu, then it will be hard work for you.”

There were no words all night.

It was only at sunrise the next day that Zhao Lang dawdled to get up, and naturally it was Little Seven and Little Nine who washed Zhao Lang.

This time, Zhao Lang did not refuse and directly let the two help him dress and wash up.

“Rotten ah, rotten.”

Zhao Lang sighed once again.

Looking at the two little maids who were at least eight points of goddesses in their previous lives.

It was a lie for Zhao Lang to say that he didn’t have some small thoughts.

Moreover, the personal maids of a big family would basically be taken into the house when they grew up.

Zhao Long was thinking about how to exchange feelings with the two.

At this moment, a servant came over and reported that

“Duke, the family head has returned.”

“My father has returned?”

Zhao Lang revealed a smile.

He still had to sell this paper making technique in his hand if he wanted to turn it into real money.

It was just the right time to discuss it with this cheap old man of his, after all, his father was a real businessman.

At once he stood up and said.

“Come on, go and meet and greet.”

And with that he walked towards the entrance of the stately home.

At this moment, the entrance of the stately home.

Qin Shi Huang, dressed in his regular clothes, was at the entrance with Zhao Gao and Li Si.

“There are some things that I was not very good at saying before, but whatever you hear later, you are not allowed to make a fuss.”

Qin Shi Huang instructed with a touch of embarrassment.

Li Si smiled and said.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry, I have travelled in all directions when I was studying, so I will certainly not make a fuss.”

Zhao Gao, who was at the side, followed suit and echoed.

“Eh?”

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao.”

Only then did Qin Shi Huang nodded and led the two of them inside, where they soon encountered the oncoming Zhao Lang.

“Which young talent from which family is this?”

Li Si teased at the sight of Zhao Lang.

Zhao Gao followed suit and laughed with him.

Before he could say anything, he heard Zhao Lang shouting that

“Father, you’re back!”

“Back.”

Qin Shi Huang answered.

And behind him, the smiles on the faces of Li Si and Zhao Gao froze almost instantly.
