"Flower girl?" The guard at the door read casually, and although Hua Banxia's heart collapsed, he still had to smile and nod.

I don't know if it's because the Cheng Mansion is too big or what's the reason, the man went in and reported for more than a quarter of an hour, and finally came when he was impatient with Hua Banxia waiting.

"Flower girl, my young master let you in and wait in the garden."

This time, without the guidance of Xiao Liuzi, Hua Banxia still knew the structure of Cheng Mansion, and took Qiao Yu to the gazebo in the garden to wait for Cheng Ze.

Maybe the two of them were dressed too plainly, passing by several groups of maids and housekeepers, and no one gave them tea, okay, Hua Banxia could only take out the kettle he made with a bamboo tube, secretly filled the pot with live spring water, and handed it to Qiao Yu to drink.

Qiao Yu knew that Hua Banxia had brought water, so he drank it unceremoniously, "Huh? Why is this water so cold?"

On such a hot day, Qiao Yu thought that the water was about to be boiled, but he didn't expect it to be so cold and delicious to drink.

"Put it in the back basket, the lotus root is covered, cool air", Hua Banxia casually made an excuse, anyway, she still has lotus root in the back basket, let's talk about it.

The two of them waited for almost half an hour, and they fell asleep on the stone table in the pavilion for half a summer. The pavilion of Chengfu is surrounded by trees, as well as the lake, which is much cooler than Qiaoli Village, and it is comfortable for Hua Banxia to stay and not want to move.

"Banxia! Half Summer! Hua Banxia opened her eyes and heard Cheng Ze shouting at her excitedly.

Qiao Yu also heard Cheng Ze's voice, after so long, it might be the person they were waiting for who would come over to talk to them.

Qiao Yu hurriedly stood up, and when he saw a handsome man in a white and cyan robe running over, he couldn't help but feel a little inferior. "Banxia, hurry up, it must be Cheng Gongzi who is here."

It took Banxia to ignore it, it was they who waited for him, and he was embarrassed when he was late, so why did he stand up and greet him.

Hua Banxia continued to lie on the table indecently, Cheng Ze ran into the pavilion as soon as he slipped away, and said excitedly, "Banxia, you are finally here."

Hua Banxia had a black line and rolled his eyes at Cheng Ze, "It's you who are finally here, right?" ”

Cheng Ze heard the meaning of blame in Hua Banxia's tone, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, my father has been nervous recently, and he always pulls me to listen to his broken thoughts."

Cheng Ze explained, only then did he realize that there was someone next to him, "Who is this?" ”

"This is my second brother Qiao Yu", Hua Banxia got up and sat down, "Second brother, sit down too, it's okay."

Cheng Ze didn't speak, watching Hua Banxia and her second brother interact, instinctively looking up and down, and wanted to take a cup of tea to cover up, but found that there was no tea on the table.

Cheng Ze lowered his face coldly, frowned and spoke to the subordinates behind him, "Why don't you serve tea to the flower girl and Qiao Gongzi!" ”

The two maids who came to serve Cheng Ze were frightened, and said nervously, "Yes, the slave maid will go!" ”

Hua Banxia watched Cheng Ze get angry with the maids, without the White Lotus's stop or say good things, this in itself is that they do not do their job properly, regardless of whether they have the right to enjoy the service or not, they should not do nothing.

Without waiting for the tea to come up, Hua Banxia took out a stack of white paper from his arms, opened it and put it on the table, the business was important, they didn't come to drink tea in the first place.

Cheng Ze saw that Hua Banxia was carrying a basket, and there were lotus roots in the basket, and he thought that she was here to send lotus roots to herself. In the past few days, he found that except for Huamanlou, there is no such thing as lotus root in other places, and he has to go to Huamanlou if he wants to eat.

When I saw her coming to find myself today, I thought she was here to sell lotus roots, but I didn't expect her to take out a stack of white paper, and the white paper looked like a good rice paper, which was absolutely inconsistent with her dress, which was really curious.

Ignoring the curiosity and doubts in Cheng Ze's eyes, Hua Banxia asked directly, "There has been no rain in Nancheng in recent months, and the drought is coming, the lord of the government must be anxious."

Cheng Ze was not surprised when he heard Hua Banxia mention this question, after all, everyone knew about the drought in Nancheng, "Huh? ”

Hua Banxia shrugged and pushed the drawings on the table to him, "Look at this."

Cheng Ze glanced at Hua Banxia inexplicably, picked up the drawings on the table and looked at them.

After a long time, Cheng Ze was more and more surprised, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and he couldn't help but put the papers on the table one by one, and exchanged orders from time to time.

Cheng Ze looked up at Hua Banxia in shock as if he finally understood, "This, this is what you painted?" Oh no, this is what you designed? ”

Cheng Ze changed his words and said that it was painted, so what surprised him should be Hua Banxia's painting skills. But if she designed it, it would be completely different.

"Yes, it's from my hands!" Hua Banxia's answer was ambiguous, but her eyes were firm.

Cheng Ze was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, until the two maids who went to make tea just now came over, and then he spoke, "Go and invite my father to come, let him come!" ”

Cheng Ze's rare serious appearance startled the two maids again, and they were busy running towards the front hall.

Sure enough, after a while, I heard Cheng Ming scolding and scolding, this son never let him worry, just now I heard the maid say that the matter was serious, and I thought that who came to the door to settle the account, so I started shouting from afar.

But Cheng Ming walked in and saw that it was two country children who came to the door, and he couldn't help but wonder, Cheng Ming never bullied these poor people, but often haunted the villagers' markets, for fear that which overlord in the city would bully honest people again, what is going on today?

"Dad, come and see!" Cheng Ze knew his father's inner activities, ignoring his usual majesty, and directly pulled him to sit down.

Cheng Ze pointed out the drawings on the table to his father, "Look at it, look at it, Dad, what are you stunned about!" ”

Cheng Ming heard Cheng Ze's words so disrespectful, and was about to reprimand, but as soon as he skimmed the things on the table, he held back his words.

Sure enough, it's father and son! Hua Banxia secretly sighed in her heart, Cheng. Jie and Cheng Ze's reactions were almost the same, but Lao Tzu was obviously more excited than his son, maybe this thing was more important to a mansion lord.

"This thing is called a waterwheel, and if you install it by the river, you can drink water to the paddy fields at high places." Jie was so excited that he couldn't speak, so he took the initiative to explain.

Cheng Ming and Cheng Ze raised their heads and looked at Hua Banxia eagerly, startling Qiao Yu on the side. Fortunately, Hua Banxia has seen some of the world, and when he calmed down, he explained to the two.

"Don't hide it, I painted this thing, but now there is a finished product in Qiaoli Village, but for some reason, that finished product can't be used, but I can restore it to the ...... of use", Hua Banxia briefly introduced the ins and outs of the matter, whether the two believe it or not.

Hua Banxia finished talking about the waterwheel and Qiaoli Village snatching the drawings in one breath, and told the absolute truth, without adding oil and vinegar to the villagers of Qiaoli Village.

"What, there's something else!" Cheng Ze was very angry after hearing this, how could so many people bully a woman, "Are you injured?" ”

Hua Banxia slightly said that she was fine, thank you Cheng Ze for your concern.

But after all, Cheng Ming has been an official in the court for more than ten years, and he can't make a judgment about Hua Banxia's words at once, and he can't make a conclusion at will. Moreover, when Hua Banxia explained, he did not make it clear why the two sides quarreled.

"This thing, how do you get it to turn?" Cheng Ming focuses on business, and he is not uncommon to hear about those women quarreling.

"Don't hide it, my lord, I left a back hand when I designed this thing, if it was the first time I came into contact with this thing, I would definitely do it wrong, and it turned out that they did make mistakes", even if it is the current design, Hua Banxia still left a mistake, so I dare to put it here so openly.

"Banxia, you ......", Qiao Yu didn't expect Hua Banxia to be so vigilant, isn't that even him?

Qiao Yu was a little sad all of a sudden, but she thought that Hua Banxia had her reasons for doing this, and she successfully prevented others from stealing her things. Coupled with seeing her talking to the Mansion Lord so calmly just now, Qiao Yu felt that this cousin was really unusual.

Hua Banxia ignored Qiao Yu's words and stopped, now is not the time to explain.

Cheng Ming suddenly admired this female doll, dressed in patched clothes, shabby but clean, always straight, without the weakness of a city lady, and without the caution of a country girl, special!

I don't know if this girl is married, such a special girl, married to Cheng Mansion, not to mention that she will definitely be able to pay any attention to herself, just if she comes, the house will be fresh.

The more Cheng Ming looked at Hua Banxia, the more satisfied he became, completely unaware of how big his brain was. Although the lord of the palace and his wife are in love outside, the two do not have any promise not to marry a concubine, but they do not take a fancy to it.

Cheng Ming watched the corners of his father's mouth rise, his eyes stared at Hua Banxia, the emotion in his eyes was unknown, but he always felt that he had a bad premonition, and he had to stop it quickly.

"Dad, presumably Miss Hua still has something to say, let's listen to it together", Cheng Ze quickly shifted the topic to business.

Hua Banxia frowned slightly, she had come into contact with so many men on a mission in her previous life, if she couldn't see the meaning in Cheng Ming's eyes, then she would have lived in vain.

Fortunately, * is obviously appreciative, if it is a lewd look, Hua Banxia will definitely turn around and leave.

"I mean, I want to file this waterwheel with the government to prove that I am the first developer, and if the government wants to vigorously promote this thing, the developer needs to be given relevant fees."

Hua Banxia didn't want to charge fees, he just wanted to have ownership and not let some people take advantage of it. But with Cheng Ming's eyes just now, Hua Banxia felt that he couldn't be too good to him!

"Oh? If this thing can really lead water, it must be a blessing for the people, how can this girl ask for a fee? "Cheng Ming's meaning is obvious, such a thing that benefits everyone, are you embarrassed to ask for money?
