Shen Zhong was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, and when Xiao Wang saw that his men were kneeling, she also pulled her daughters to kneel down.

Xiao Xia could only kneel down, but he raised his head and said boldly: "Please calm your anger." It's really our brains that don't understand? What you said about Shen Zhubo is my third uncle Shen Zhi? ”

Lord Zhao disdained to talk to these Diao people, but Li Tongju didn't dislike a little girl who dared to interject loudly, and replied: "It's Shen Zhi, he said that he gave the drawings of the waterwheel to his second brother Shen Zhong, and asked him to help the people in the village build a waterwheel to solve the drought." ”

Xiao Xia can't estimate the extent of Shen Zhi's shamelessness, he is really shameless and invincible in the world, and he dares to say such shameless words.

"Two adults, since my third uncle Shen Zhi said that this waterwheel was conceived by him, he also drew the drawings. So why don't you just draw one and hand it to the adults, but you still have to bother the two adults to run all the way from Jiuyang City to get some drawings? ”

Xiao Xia's words directly asked the two of them. Oh, yes! When they heard the news, they were happy, but they didn't expect this.

Lord Zhao felt that he had been tricked by Shen Zhi, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, pulling the elder with his face, feeling that his face was being provoked by Diao Min, and sent his anger directly to the heads of Shen Zhong's family.

"Presumptuous, let you hand over the drawings, where did you get so much nonsense."

Xiao Xia straightened his back, looked directly at Lord Zhao, who seemed to be a little annoyed, and said, "My lord, atone." We don't really have any drawings now, and although my dad knows a few big characters, he can't hold a pen. Where do you tell us to hand over the drawings immediately? ”

"At a young age, full of lies. You don't have the drawings, how was that watermill built? "Lord Zhao is really angry this time, a little girl dares to talk back to herself, where does his face exist?

"The drawings did exist before, but they have been sold by us, and they are sold for 10,000 taels of silver, and I can show the contract to you."

Xiao Xia took out the contract prepared in advance from his arms and handed it directly to Li Tongju.

Li Tong looked at it and handed it to Lord Zhao.

The contract did state that the drawings of the waterwheel bought a person named Qiu Lao, and how many waterwheels Qiu Lao built after that had nothing to do with Shen Zhong.

There is also a lot of land in Fengyun Villa, and it must be necessary to find a suitable location to build a waterwheel, this is not a contract prepared in advance by Xiao Xia in order to break off the relationship with Fengyun Villa, but I didn't expect to use it now.

Zhao Da was so angry that he could only slam the tea bowl on the table to vent his anger. Li Tong's face is not good, are they going to come for nothing? No

Xiao Xia sneered in her heart, Shen Zhi thought that it was really beautiful, such a big credit dared to stop himself at will, did he have any self-knowledge, she just wanted to see how Shen Zhi ended this time.

"My lord, since Shen Zhi said that the drawings were drawn by him, you can just ask him to draw another one."

Lord Zhao got up and left, did he stay here with a group of Diao people, and the price dropped. And Li Tongju glanced at Xiao Xia a few times, and seemed to hear the implication, could it be that the drawing was not drawn by Shen Zhi? It seems that he still has to make two more trips to this Shenjia Village.

After sending off the guests, Shen Zhong's family took a breath, and they also understood the purpose of these nobles, the matter of the drawings, who drew them, they were very clear in their hearts, they didn't expect Shen Zhi to do such a thing? Shen Zhong felt lost and sad, while the Xiao Xia sisters smiled disdainfully.

This incident is a wake-up call for Xiao Xia, if you have such a thing in your hand, you have to contribute it sooner or later, but who to contribute to, what kind of benefits you have, in general, you have the final say!

Without further ado, early the next morning, Shen Xiaoxia took Shen Fei and Chunhua out, this time to go out of the house, to find Lord He Shen in Shaoyang City. Lord He Shen is the favorite official Xiao Xia has ever seen, and of course he has the benefits to share with the people he likes.

Speaking of Shen Zhi's side, since he learned that Shen Zhong had built a waterwheel, he was jealous and disdainful in his heart, and he was thinking about how to take advantage of it.

I thought that I had reported the news to my boss, and Lord Zhao came out, Shen Zhong would hand over the drawings even if he didn't want to, even if this Shen Zhong was a common man, what was the use? If the credit is on his head, this promotion will be ironclad.

It's a pity that once he met Shen Xiaoxia, he was definitely disappointed, but it was true.

Lord Zhao slammed the delicate white porcelain painted tea bowl on the table and stared at Shen Zhi viciously.

"Didn't you draw that waterwheel? You draw me another drawing. I'll give you three days, and if you can't hand it over, don't even think about it, this petty official. ”

When Shen Zhi heard this, the frightened cold sweat soaked the long shirt. Zhao ...... Lord Zhao, Shen Zhong didn't give you the drawings? ”

Lord Zhao slapped the table and snorted coldly: "The drawings you drew have been sold by your second brother for 10,000 taels of silver." Your brothers are just as insatiable. Just draw another one, but don't make me wait too long, I don't have much patience. ”

When Shen Zhi walked out of the Zhao Mansion tremblingly, he couldn't wait to eat Shen Zhong's heart. Looking at the scorching sun, even Jiuyang City began to run out of water, if he could get that drawing, would he be able to climb to the sky in one step?

Shen Zhi no longer hesitated, got into the carriage and rushed directly to Shenjia Village.

Shen Zhi just rushed back to Shenjia Village in the middle of the night, he didn't go directly to Shen Zhong's house, but went back to his old house. He knew that even Lord Zhao couldn't get Shen Zhong to take out the drawings, and he went in vain, so he could only ask their father for help.

Old Man Shen and Mrs. Jia were awakened by Shen Zhi in the middle of the night, without the slightest anger, they hadn't seen their son for half a year, and they missed it very much.

"Son! You're back. Mrs. Jia shed tears directly, her favorite third son became an official, and he can only see him once in half a year, and his favorite little girl is married, and he can't go back to his parents' house from time to time.

"You're in such a hurry to come back, but what's the matter?" Old Man Shen still knows his third son, and he will definitely not be in such a hurry to come back if he has nothing to do.

Shen Zhi didn't have much time, he was thinking about how to convince his father all the way, and the words had already been thought of.

"Mother, go to sleep first! I have something urgent to tell my father. When this matter is done, I will definitely take you and my father to Jiuyang City to live with me. ”

Mrs. Jia didn't care if this could be realized, anyway, she listened comfortably and agreed. Before returning to the house, he instructed: "Old man, the third child is a matter, that is, the business of our family, we have to do everything." ”

Old man Shen ignored her, waved his hand and sent the old woman away.

The room was lit with an oil lamp, and the old man Shen lit a dry tobacco again, and took two puffs.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Shen Zhi looked at his father's face and felt that there was nothing abnormal, so he said, "Dad, I want the blueprints of the waterwheel." ”
