"Hello Aunt Yao, you are an elder, you don't have to be polite to me, just call me Qiao Sheng!" Qiao Sheng regarded Koukouxiang as his home, and he didn't see it, and when he saw a plate of apples on the table next to Tang Mian, he took off his official hat and walked over, picked up an apple and took a bite.

Finding a scorching gaze, he turned his head to meet Shang Thirteen's dazzling eyes.

"Zhao Huang?" He overheard the owner mention the name of Zhao Yu's younger brother, but he was still a little unsure that he had heard it wrong.

"Humph!" Thirteen woke up and immediately stood up straight and saluted him, "Hello Master Qiao, Zhao Huang is in school, there is thirteen in the family, and everyone in the family calls me Little Thirteen." ”

Little Thirteen? It's also a good name.

Thinking that there were still three months to take the exam, as soon as the envoy of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom came, he would no longer have time to teach him, and while he was free this afternoon, he directly offered to take him to his study.

Zhao Yu and Aunt Yao didn't expect that as soon as Master Qiao came back, they would have to tutor Thirteen's homework, and they were a little moved.

Xiao Thirteen Road has been suffering from motion sickness, and he has been tortured to death for more than 20 days, seeing that he has arrived in the imperial city, he still thinks about playing on the street with Sister Tang later, why is he going to be caught by Lord Qiao to read a book after eating late.

Don't! He's really tired!

Tang Mian guessed what he was thinking, and hurriedly stopped: "That Qiao Sheng, thirteen they just came to the imperial city, they didn't buy any books, he didn't even have a change of clothes, I want to take them to buy things in the afternoon, why don't you help him make up for his class in the evening?" ”

Qiao Sheng glanced at Thirteen, it was true that his clothes were in turmoil, and there was still some smell on his body.

He nodded in response.

Later, the thirteenth and they followed Tang Mian to the most prosperous East Street in the imperial city.

She was the president of the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce, and everyone in the shop knew her.

She took them directly to the biggest and best show, jewelry shop and study in the imperial city to buy a lot of things.

Seeing that they were a little tired, I took them back.

Passing by Craftsman Li's shop halfway, he directly took back the wooden blocks that Qiao Sheng had ordered.

"Sister Tang, why does Master Qiao like to play with wood?" is the so-called fairy tongue, and after Thirteen asked, he was glared at by his mother.

Aunt Yao knew very well that the reason why Tang Mian was so good to them was because Yu'er was going to get rich, and they had already made her spend a lot of money today, and Thirteen always inquired about Lord Qiao's private affairs, which was not good at all.

"Oh...... Recently, he found a craftsman's book in the imperial study, which was said to be about farmland irrigation, and he wanted to build a small waterwheel to simulate the possibility of building a waterwheel in the upper reaches of the Wanshui River...... "Tang Mian didn't care how much he could understand, so he told him everything.

She remembered very well that the improved waterwheel in the previous life was designed by Qiao Sheng in the tenth year after the crown prince ascended the throne, and she didn't expect it to be so long ahead of schedule this time.

Either that the genius's brain is not comparable to these people, he has lost more than 50 of the model of this waterwheel alone, and said that as soon as the envoy of the Hundred Flowers Country leaves, he and the emperor will ask for the order to build a waterwheel near the Wanshui River for verification.

"Water wheels? But Zhang Ningbo's "Watermill Construction" written 20 years ago? Zhao Yu has heard a lot of things about him, his old man was the most famous craftsman in Tianqi a hundred years ago, and participated in the design of many buildings, but a hundred years ago because of the limited skills of craftsmen, he could not build a multi-storey building like the octagonal tower.

It was his old man who designed the building despite everyone's opposition.

The idea of the waterwheel was proposed by him, but unfortunately he still failed to build it after 20 years of research and verification.

He died shortly thereafter, and no one talked about building the watermill again.

If Lord Qiao can complete the waterwheel this time, it will be tantamount to a major event for the benefit of the people.

Xiao Thirteen listened to Sister Tang and his brother say how powerful the waterwheel was, and he was instantly stunned.

They are all eleven years old, why is the gap between him and Master Qiao so big!

"That thirteen, don't be too burdened, learn from Qiao Sheng. What does he want you to recite? Do everything you write, and my sister believes that you will be able to pass the Xiucai exam in three months......"

Tang Mian understands the gap in his heart very well.

But that's normal.

After all, Qiao Sheng is a genius, and his current achievements may not be able to be achieved by many people in their lifetimes.

After a few people returned to Koukouxiang again, Lin Zi changed shifts with his brothers and went back to find Gong Weishu to restore his life.

"Young master, the general situation is like this, Miss Tang bought ...... for Zhao Yu's father and mother"

The sound of the forest sounded in his ears, and Gong Weishu's thoughts drifted far away.

A few days ago, his people had investigated all the people in Zhao Yu's family.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Zhao Yu was indeed a good marriage partner.

His mother and younger brother have been bullied by the rest of the Zhao family all year round, and they can repay their grievances with virtue, and their conduct is good......

I thought that he would completely die after seeing Mian's husband that day, but the fact is that he thought too much, he never forgot Tang Mian, and he didn't want her to marry someone else.

The moment Lin Zi raised his head, he caught the reluctance and pain at Gong Weishu's eyebrows and eyes, and retreated silently.

Before he had taken two steps, he heard someone shouting to him.

But when he turned his head, he didn't see anyone.

"I'm here!" Xiao Tong, who was squatting in the grass, popped out his head, beckoned at him, and motioned for him to go over there to talk.

Lin Zi, who was baffled by him, froze dryly in place, a little at a loss.

Seeing him standing in place and looking at this side, Xiao Tong was so angry that he couldn't do it.

This man really doesn't have any eyesight.

It wouldn't be good if the young master found out.

He looked cautiously towards the closed gate, and without much thought, he rushed to the forest quickly, grabbed her hand and ran towards the rockery.

"Xiao Tong! What exactly are you going to say? Hurry up, I'm going to Miss Tang's side! Lin Zi didn't have time to delay with him, but the young master gave him an order that he must secretly protect her during the period before Tang Mian got married, and he didn't dare to let her have an accident.

"What Tang Mian is going to! Lin Zi, don't you want to know, what did the old master tell the young master? He will give up Tang Mian! Xiao Tong showed a gossipy face, when he learned that the young master said that he would not marry Tang Mian a few days ago, he thought that this was his delaying tactic to deal with the master, but he never thought that what he said was true.

He has been serving the young master since he was a child, and he knows very well that he has become an obsession with Tang Mian.

Since it is said to be an obsession, how can it be easily let go, he can be sure that this matter is definitely not that simple.

"I said Xiao Tong, if you have time, you should pay more attention to the young master, he has been messed up enough recently, so don't continue to block him." Lin Zi is not as complicated as he thought, the whereabouts of the eldest young master are unknown, and the master is left with only one son.

The lord strongly opposed their marriage, and did not hesitate to do such a thing to prevent the two from being together.

To this day, there is still a lot of gossip about him.

The young master is a filial son, so naturally he will not let the master go.
