Hua Banxia has been bored and wants to finish eating the lotus root in her hand, but this lotus root really lives up to expectations, growing fatter than the other, so that Hua Banxia has not finished gnawing for a long time.

continued to cut off a piece with a knife, and when he was about to cut off the lotus, a man's slender and powerful hand reached over and took the piece of lotus root that Hua Banxia had cut off.

Hua Banxia looked up and saw a man wearing a black robe, with a dark red edge on the neckline, cuffs, belt, and tail of the robe.

But the eyes shifted to the face, I went, a beautiful man alive, with clear outlines, eyes like stars, sword lips and bright teeth, eighteen or nineteen years old, the lotus root in his hand had been sent to his mouth, and he opened his mouth to eat.

"You ......", Hua Banxia wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the uncles on both sides.

"Cheng Ye is here", "Cheng Ye is good", the uncles greeted him warmly, and even gave him a handful of the vegetables in their baskets.

The man called Cheng Ye was refreshing, "Thank you, I don't want this dish today, next time, I will definitely take it next time", the man arched his hand and said politely.

Hua Banxia heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, this man can't be Cheng Ze, the son of Cheng Ming, the lord of the government, right? Hua Banxia gently turned sideways and looked at the man's arm, and sure enough, there was a yazi embroidered on the arm.

According to legend, Cheng Ze, the son of Cheng Ming, the lord of the Nancheng Mansion, was cynical and hanging, and he only knew to drink tea and watch plays and visit the Qinglou all day long, but he was forced by the prestige of the lord of the mansion to find an idle position in the yamen, and he didn't even want to wear a uniform, but only wanted to embroider a yazi on his arm.

But, why do the vegetable farmers here seem to welcome him, isn't this a high-ranking boy?

"Hmm... What is it? Cheng Ze felt that there was something in his mouth, but he couldn't feel what it was, so he could only wipe it with his hands.

"The lotus root is broken", Hua Banxia opened lightly.

"What's that?" Cheng Ze didn't hear clearly, touched his chin and stared at Hua Banxia and asked.

Hua Banxia looked at Cheng Ze in the name of wiping, touching his chin contrivedly, thinking that he was handsome and discharging at Hua Banxia, his eyes were full of banter.

Hua Banxia rolled her eyes indecently, hasn't Sister Dang seen the world! "This is the lotus root, there is silk in the lotus root, and the lotus root is cut off from the silk, so it is called the lotus root broken silk."

Hua Banxiapi explained to Cheng Ze with a smile, and comforted him casually, "Don't worry, you can't eat the dead."

Cheng Ze couldn't see Hua Banxia's disdain and disrespect for him, but he was very curious, could it be that his charm was not as good as before?

"I know, if you eat the dead, you will die first", Cheng Ze pointed to the little lotus root left in Hua Banxia's hand and said.

Hua Banxia looked at the lotus root in his hand, didn't speak, shifted his gaze from Cheng Ze's body, and looked at the crowd on the street like an ordinary vegetable farmer, waiting for the guests to come forward and ask.

Cheng Ze saw that Hua Banxia ignored him, and had to doubt his charm again.

"Hey, what's your name, where are you from, why do girls come to the street to sell things?" Cheng Ze asked curiously at the peasant girl who seemed to be poor, but had an extraordinary temperament, and there was a lot of questions.

"Do you know who I am? Why haven't I seen you in the bazaar before, you talk", Cheng Ze still had a ruffian smile on his face, not angry at all, and ignored it for half a summer.

Hua Banxia thought that Cheng Ze was hot for three minutes, and he was just curious to come and take a look, and he would not have any in-depth communication with himself, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Does Cheng Gongzi want to buy groceries?" Hua Banxia suddenly turned her head and said to Cheng Ze with a smile.

Cheng Ze originally saw that Hua Banxia ignored herself, and was still trying to attract her attention, but she suddenly smiled at herself so enthusiastically, her slightly red cheeks that were sun-burned shone in the sun.

Bright, pure, expectant, and staring at himself with a little joke, Cheng Ze felt that his heart was suddenly hit, and he beat wildly.

"How about it, do you want to buy it?" Hua Banxia thought that a high-ranking son should not be able to do such rough work as grocery shopping, so he asked him like this just to let him leave quickly.

But what Hua Banxia didn't expect was that Cheng Ze agreed, "Buy!" I bought them all! ”

This time it was Hua Banxia's turn to be stunned, what the hell, what the hell did he buy and leave for Hua Manlou?

"No! I can't sell it all to you", Hua Banxia was afraid that Cheng Ze would leave with his back basket, so he subconsciously held down the back basket and refused.

"Why?" Cheng Ze didn't understand, why did vegetable farmers come here to do without selling vegetables.

Hua Banxia's eyes turned to be called a joy, of course, he couldn't say that he was going to be sent to the Qinglou.

"That, of course I can't sell it all to you, how do others know about this thing if I don't sell it here, and it will be more difficult for others to sell it in the future if they don't know me", Hua Banxia is really, and the lie will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Oh", Cheng Ze looked cute, as if there was a little reason, "Then I'll buy half of it, so you don't have to stay here for so long", Cheng Ze turned his face and returned to his previous ruffian.

"Okay, fifteen wen a pound, where's your basket?" Hua Banxia stretched out his hand and asked, knowing that he had nothing to pretend.

Cheng Ze looked down at himself, as if he really had nothing to take the lotus root away, he was moved, grabbed Hua Banxia's back basket and said, "You send it to the door for me, I buy a lot, and my chef can't make this thing, you have to be responsible."

Hua Banxia saw that Cheng Ze had already grabbed the back basket, and said anxiously, "Hey... No, I'm just a vegetable seller, don't think that if I sell you a little food, you can ask me to help with the cooking, that's going to cost you more."

Hua Banxia looked at the sky, it's still early, if half of it is sold to Cheng Fu, then half of it will be added to the flowers. However, at this time, Cheng Mansion must not have reached the time for lunch, so Hua Banxia is now going to Hua Manlou.

Huamanlou only opens every afternoon, and now go and hand over the recipe to the chef in the building, and you can come up with new dishes in the evening. After teaching the chef who is full of flowers, he will go to Chengfu to cook, and he can go home after cooking, and the time is just right.

"No, the silver will be given to you", Cheng Ze listened to Hua Banxia's words, and directly took out a silver ingot from his arms and gave it to her.

Hua Banxia took the silver and looked up at him puzzled.

"Didn't you say that you have to pay for cooking? Is this enough? Cheng Ze pointed to the silver in Hua Banxia's hand.

"That's it? A tael of silver! "Hua Banxia is a little aggrieved, in fact, one or two silver is already a huge amount of money for a vegetable seller.

But for Hua Banxia, it is not too much to make a single shot even if it is a hundred taels, and when he came here, he took down Tianxianglou in just half a month, and he took the bulk of it, and by now, it is estimated that there will be seven or eight hundred taels.

"What, too little?" Cheng Ze couldn't believe it, although he usually spends money lavishly, he doesn't look like a woman who loves vanity and greed for money, so he only gave one or two, but he didn't expect her to be too little? !

Well, spend half a summer trying to make yourself accept this gap, from childhood to adulthood, I have suffered a lot, but it is the first time to earn such a small amount of money, converted into soft sister coins, it is only 1,000 yuan, and I have 100,000 yuan for the first job, not to mention later.

In this backward era, the first money I earned was spent on the building, even if it was half a month's profit, I could get nearly three or four hundred taels.

"Hehe, a lot, a lot", Hua Banxia smiled perfunctorily.

Cheng Ze looked at Hua Banxia's unwilled smile, but there was really no greed for money in his eyes, but he couldn't see what she meant, it was so funny!

"Then let's go", the future is still very long, don't rush to get to know her at this moment.

Hua Banxia then remembered that he had to go to Huamanlou again, and pressed the back basket and said to Cheng Ze, "That, I still have something to do, don't you still have to patrol the streets, you are busy first, and I will still be here in an hour."

"Hey, you girl, look at the skinny, it's quite strong", Cheng Ze wanted to help Hua Banxia carry the basket, but the basket was lifted, and Hua Banxia was pressed down at once, and he was also scared.

"Where are you going, I'll send you", Cheng Ze was idle anyway.

"No, no, no, I'm going to go to my relative's house, yes, I'm going to send them lotus roots to taste, it's inconvenient for you to go."

"Oh, that's it", Cheng Ze really doesn't like to go to the door, or go to a relative's house, "Then you go, I'll wait for you here in an hour."

Hearing this, Hua Banxia sighed softly and picked up the heavy back basket, "Then I'll go, bye-bye." After speaking, Hua Banxia left without looking back.

Cheng Ze tilted his head, not quite understanding what Hua Banxia meant by the last sentence of 'vain', and he couldn't remember which village's dialect it was.

"Forget it, she accepted the silver anyway, and she didn't dare to take the silver and not do anything", Cheng Ze shrugged and said indifferently.

Watching Hua Banxia go farther and farther, Cheng Ze was just about to turn around and leave, but suddenly thought of something and chased in the direction where Hua Banxia left.

See relatives? Why didn't I go to the city to see my relatives but stayed in the bazaar at the beginning, and then I said that I was going to see my relatives, and I was almost deceived by this little girl.

Cheng Ze picked up the light work and flew onto the roof of the bazaar, chasing Hua Banxia.

Hua Banxia hurriedly left Cheng Ze, and did not stop until he turned into an alley and made sure that she could not be seen in the place where Cheng Ze was standing.

"Hmph..."Hua Banxia snorted lightly, thinking that she had gotten rid of Cheng Ze, she looked at the road next to her, and found the closest one to the backyard of Hua Manlou, anyway, she was so poor and a woman, who would have thought that she was going to Hua Manlou.

But what Hua Banxia didn't expect was that when he turned into the alley, Cheng Ze followed, and he followed him on the roof.

Hua Banxia saw that he had arrived in front of the Huamanlou, and the building had not yet opened, but there were already a lot of idle men gathered in front of the building, whether it was a rich boy or a down-and-out scholar, and even more so, there were country men who came to take a look in front of the Huamanlou.

None of them were for anything else, just to take a look at the beautiful paintings hanging in front of the Huamanlou. This is after the flower half of the summer came, specially painted for a few famous girls in the building, the technique of modern painting can be described as a vivid painting of people, plus after the color adjustment, it is just like a photo.
