While he was thinking about this, Cuihua didn't notice.
She was attracted by the words on the Eight Immortals Table, and she couldn't help but get up towards the Eight Immortals Table.
Xiao Huadong was embarrassed and hurriedly backed away, trying to block these words.
What he never expected was that if he didn't want to cover it up, Cuihua might not even want to see it.
But the more he tried to hide it, the more he aroused Cuihua's curiosity and made her feel that she must see it.
This was the most embarrassing thing for him. Xiao Huadong stepped back and wiped it with his hands.
Cuihua has a sharp eye and has already seen it.
The waiter in the shop noticed it was late and wanted to come over to have a look, but Xiao Huadong had already wiped it away and saw only a puddle of water on the Eight Immortals table.
Cuihua suppressed the smile on her face and said to Xiao Huadong: "Official Xiao, my wife is waiting for you outside the restaurant."
Hearing this, Xiao Huadong felt as sweet as a fairy tune.
He came to the door of the restaurant and looked left and right, but still didn't see the beauty.
Could it be that Cuihua was deceiving herself?
Thinking of this, Xiao Huadong couldn't help but look towards Cuihua.
"Pfft", Cuihua chuckled and pointed to a lady.
Xiao Huadong saw a person's back, and she was looking into the distance.
Dingjun Mountain was in the distance. She looked at Dingjun Mountain and wondered what she was thinking.
Xiao Huadong came behind the figure, took a deep breath, and suppressed his excitement.
He bowed deeply: "Little lady, you are now polite."
The little lady slowly turned her head and Xiao Huadong was shocked when he saw it.
Who is this person? He is wearing a mask?
"Little lady, who are you?" Xiao Huadong looked at her and said,
Seeing Xiao Huadong's confused look, Cuihua chuckled again.
Xiao Huadong blushed and had to take a closer look and felt something familiar.
Although this little lady was wearing a gauze mask, she could still be vaguely distinguished.
Isn’t this person Miss Ren, or who is it?
Xiao Huadong had no choice but to salute again: "Little lady, I'm not rude, I'll forgive you."
Miss Ren didn't say a word, but gave a faint salute as an answer.
Even so, Xiao Huadong's heart was full of sweetness and endless sweetness.
"My wife always wears a mask. I took off the mask that day for the meeting." Cuihua explained again.
When Xiao Huadong heard this, he felt as if he was hearing celestial music.
He thought Miss Ren was untraditional, but in fact she was very traditional.
What is the beauty of a woman? Isn’t this what she is?
Hearing this, Miss Ren glared at Cuihua, thinking she was talking too much.
Cuihua seemed to feel something was wrong and hurriedly recited a poem: "I always keep the letter holding the pillar, how can I go to the platform to watch my wife."
Hearing this, Miss Ren couldn't help but cast her gaze at Xiao Huadong, with a look of confusion in her eyes.
In her eyes, Taibai's poem is "Always keep the letter holding the pillar, how can I go to the husband's platform."
Why did the poem suddenly change when we arrived at Xiao Huadong's place?
"Little lady, I was waiting on the first floor. I felt really bored, so I had to write this poem to kill time." Xiao Huadong faced Miss Ren's questioning as if he was a boy who had done something bad and was caught red-handed. Looking at him, he had no choice but to answer like this.
When he said this, he did not notice Miss Ren's expression.
Miss Ren looked at Xiao Huadong and suddenly winked at Cuihua.
"How can I go to the wife-watching platform if I always keep a letter holding a pillar?" Cuihua read a sentence, then suddenly saluted Xiao Huadong Wanfu and asked, "Xiao Guanren, do you think so?"
Although Miss Ren did not speak, she looked at Xiao Huadong.
Xiao Huadong knew that this was a test for him.
Xiao Huadong did not hesitate, solemnly bowed his hands, and said to Mrs. Ren: "How can I go to the stage to see my wife if I always keep the letter holding the pillar? Since I said it, I can naturally do it."
Hearing this, Miss Ren looked at Xiao Huadong, and then turned her gaze to Dingjun Mountain.
Xiao Huadong felt strange. It stands to reason that Mrs. Ren would be happy when he said this. I don’t know why she turned to Dingjun Mountain. Didn’t she like this?
"Okay, now that Mr. Xiao has said this, the Nu family will keep an eye on you to see if you do this." Cuihua smiled lightly on her face and looked at her without any avoidance.
Xiao Huadong couldn't help but feel a little angry. He didn't expect that Mrs. Ren didn't speak and Cuihua, the third party, kept talking.
Miss Ren looked at Xiao Huadong and finally spoke, saying calmly: "Cuihua is my maid, we are like sisters."
Xiao Huadong couldn't help but suddenly realized, and finally understood the reason why it was difficult for him to see Mrs. Ren.
He had always been a little dissatisfied with Cuihua, but he never expected that Cuihua was Miss Ren's only maid, and she was also a sister.
Xiao Huadong had a bad feeling. He originally just wanted to date Miss Ren, but he didn't expect that a little tail came.
Xiao Huadong wanted to shake off this little tail, but he couldn't.
"Xiao Guanren, where are you going?" No, this little tail said.
Xiao Huadong couldn't help but smile bitterly, as Little Tail had already spoken.
Although Miss Ren didn't say anything, Little Tails' words were what she meant.
Xiao Huadong didn't want to deal with this little tail, so he thought of a compromise.
He bowed his hands to Madam Ren and said, "Madam, it just snowed in Baiyuan Garden. It's a good time to walk in the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms."
Xiao Huadong hoped that Miss Ren would speak, but Miss Ren didn't seem to hear her and still looked at Dingjun Mountain.
"Xiao Guanren, since you are enjoying the snow, you should lead the way." That nasty little tail was talking again.
It seems that it is still difficult to get a beautiful woman to talk, but it is already a great thing for a beautiful woman to accept the appointment.
What troubled Xiao Huadong was that the beautiful woman had a maid beside him, but there was no servant beside him.
Could it be that the beauty wants to show her superior status through the maid?
Thinking of this, Xiao Huadong suddenly remembered Pu Yi's words: "Marriage must be managed, and officialdom must also be managed. Marriage has a running-in process. Could it be that the running-in process starts now? Is it possible that the running-in process starts now?"
Xiao Huadong was thinking about something as he walked.
It seems that he still has to work hard to have a servant by his side, so as not to be looked down upon by the other party.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huadong suddenly remembered a famous saying, "We are well matched."
He had never felt this way before, but now he suddenly realized it.
If you can't match up with each other, you can only behave with your tail between your legs.
Fortunately, Xiao Huadong can go to Tubo and fight hard, hoping to change the fate of a small family.
There is a Baiyuan Garden in Jintang County, and there is also a Baiyuan Garden in Xi County.
Originally, there was no Baiyuan Garden in Xi County. This Baiyuan Garden was built by Wang Wenxiu, the former magistrate of Xi County.
This Baiyuan Garden is not like Jintang County, which has gone through twists and turns.
In fact, after the Baiyuan Garden was built, Jintang County truly became a paradise on earth.
When the Hundred Gardens were built in Jintang County, it was approved by Zhao Ping.
After all, the Baiyuan Garden was the first time the world was opened, and it was different from building roads and bridges.
Building roads and bridges is a matter of accumulating good deeds, but Baiyuan Garden has never heard of it being an act of accumulating good deeds.
In the words of later generations, building roads and bridges is a rigid need, but a hundred gardens are not among the rigid needs.
Because there are Baiyuan Gardens in Jintang County, there are no Baiyuan Gardens in other places, not even in Chengdu Prefecture.
The garden is only owned by wealthy families, but it is not open to anyone else.
There is an imperial garden in the palace, but it is only for those in the palace to enjoy.
What does Baiyuan Garden look like? Is it said that peonies bloom in winter like in the previous dynasties?
Legends are just legends after all, but being able to see flowers bloom one after another is the highest enjoyment in life.
Needless to say, literati love it. Many poems must be related to flowers.
However, the common people only saw some common wild flowers, but they never saw peonies, roses, camellias, orchids and other artificially cultivated flowers of wealth.
Baiyuan Garden brings the legendary happiness that can only be enjoyed in the palace into the homes of ordinary people.
Not only wealthy people from Chengdu, Hanzhou, Jianzhou, Tongchuan, Changzhou and other places came to watch it by car, horseback and donkey.
Baiyuan Garden makes Jintang County truly a paradise on earth, and people from West County certainly want to come and see it.
However, Xi County is thousands of miles away from Jintang County and is the most difficult road to Shu in the world, so we can only look back and sigh.
Except for the coming and going of businessmen, the people of Xixian County have almost come to this paradise on earth.
Zhaojiazhuang invested heavily in Xi County and fought with 500,000 Hu people in darkness.
But here comes the problem. The war is about economics and logistics.
Xi County is thousands of miles away from Jintang County, and it is the most difficult road to Shu in the world. Obviously, it is unrealistic to transport grain, crops and weapons through Jintang County.
Zhaojiazhuang had no choice but to build workshops here while fighting.
Zhaojiazhuang is building a workshop here, but no one is optimistic about it.
After all, Hanzhong Prefecture is the base camp of the Hu people's attack, and Xi County is under the eyes of the Hu people.
To the Song Dynasty, Xixian County seemed to be an isolated island hanging outside Sichuan, which could be overwhelmed by the barbarian army at any time.
This is a dilemma, which makes military strategists feel that there is a dilemma here.
If a workshop is not built here, it may be defeated by the barbarians immediately.
If we build a workshop here, it will only be a matter of survival. It will only extend the time for the security team to defend Xi County, and it is also possible that the workshop that has been worked hard and cost a lot of money will be given to the Hu people.
After hearing these rumors, everyone felt that they were reasonable.
The senior management of Zhaojiazhuang looked at Zhao Ping, what should they do?
Zhao Ping resisted all opinions and said, "What are you afraid of? You will risk your life to survive."
With Zhao Ping's words, a large number of workshops sprung up in Xixian County.
It can be said that Zhaojiazhuang and the Hu people fought on two fronts.
One is a battlefield where both sides fight to the death. Everyone can see this front.
The other front is the economic front, and battlefield losses are astronomical every day.
Fortunately for the Hu people, this base in Hanzhong Mansion has been prepared for twenty years, and all kinds of weapons and food are extremely well prepared.
Zhaojiazhuang is different. Except for a small amount carried by the soldiers, most of the rest are made by Xi County.
It can be said that without the Xixian Workshop, the security group would have been defeated by the Hu people.
The Hu people not only had an advantage in military strength, but also had an advantage in the number of weapons.
However, after the Zhaojiazhuang Workshop was established, the security regiment forcefully counteracted the Hu people's tactics and took advantage of weapons to force the Hu people to negotiate for peace.
Xixian County was in a state of war in the past and often fought with the Hu people. It was unknown when it was lost. Naturally, no one considered Baiyuan Garden.
But unexpectedly, the security group actually forced the Hu people to seek peace.
Seeing that the Hu people took the initiative to sue for peace, the people of Xixian County now ate a Dangxin Tangyuan. Xixian County belongs to the security group and is also Han Chinese.
After the war in Xi County ended, various buildings and workshops sprung up.
Teahouses, restaurants, and brothels followed, making Xi County one of the paradises on earth.
But Xixian felt that something was still missing. Some scholars lamented: "Xixian has everything good, but there is no Baiyuan Garden."
In the eyes of literati, only with the Hundred Gardens can Xi County truly be regarded as a paradise on earth.
At the initiative of the literati, the squires and elders also stood up.
Scholars and gentry elders united together and went to the county magistrate Wang Wenxiu to ask for the construction of a hundred gardens.
Wang Wenxiu did not dare to neglect the literati, squires and elders, and immediately received them warmly.
Wang Wenxiu entertained them with tea and smiled bitterly: "Everyone, Xi County should indeed build a hundred gardens, but Xi County was just established and fought a three-month war with the Hu people, so there is really no money."
The literati, squires and elders suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them. They never expected that the economy of Xi County would be so difficult.
However, the literati and gentry elders in Xi County were not willing to accept it and mobilized people in Xi County to donate money, totaling 3,450 guan.
Three thousand four hundred and fifty guan huizi may seem like a lot, but it is actually equivalent to more than 300 guan on the Zhaojiazhuang pick-up card.
How much does it cost to build this hundred-meter garden? It will cost at least a thousand dollars, or even more. There is a huge gap.
A garden is easy to build, but the flowers are expensive.
What would it be called a garden if there were no flowers?
After hearing this news, the squire and elders were about to retreat.
"What are you afraid of? Aren't there still little saints?" At this time, a scholar named Mo Qingshan suddenly stood up.
The old squire shook his head: "The relationship between the magistrate of West County and the little saint is extraordinary. If he doesn't agree, how can the little saint agree?"
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Mo Qingshan said flatly.
The old squire still couldn't believe it: "How can I impress the little saint?"
"Ten thousand people's books." Mo Qingshan thought for a while, bowed his hands to the sky, and finally said the answer.
The scholar at the scene, Mr. Squire, thought about it and felt that this was the only way.
Less than half a month later, a letter from the people was handed to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping looked at Zhang Si while drinking tea: "Uncle, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhang Si is actually the chief clerk of Zhaojiazhuang, and the third most important person in Zhaojiazhuang after his mother and Zhao Ping.
For example, if Zhaojiazhuang is a country, Zhang Si is equivalent to the prime minister of this country.
Zhang Si's youngest daughter is Zhao Ping's unmarried concubine, who is half a father-in-law.
Zhao Ping usually calls him his master, but in private he calls him uncle.
Hearing this, Zhang Si was a little flattered.
His status is almost below that of one person and above ten thousand people.
Zhang Si thought for a while, bowed his hands and said: "A hundred gardens can be built, but the West County is in ruins and waiting for renovation. Although Zhaojiazhuang is tied with the Hu people, the current accounts are not good. There are a lot of expenses for soldiers' pensions and weapon production."
The implication is that the Hundred Gardens can be built, but only temporarily.
"Uncle's words make sense." Zhao Ping nodded, then sighed and said, "But Xi County is different from Jintang County. Jintang County belongs to the Song Dynasty, and Xi County was completely snatched from the hands of the Hu people."
Zhang Si thought for a while and bowed his hands: "I understand that Zhaojiazhuang can still squeeze out this little money if it squeezes."
With Zhao Ping's approval, Zhang Si drew a thousand delivery cards with a stroke of his pen.
Wang Wenxiu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was already desperate, but he didn't expect the little saint to agree.
It seems that his daughter was not given to Zhao Ping as a concubine in vain. No, the little saint came to give him political achievements.
Xi County finally got his wish to build a hundred gardens, but others were not happy.
These people are none other than people related to Zhaojiazhuang.
The first is Jiading, the second is Jingyan in Longzhou, and the third is Changyuan County in Changzhou.
They reasoned that Jintang County was too far away from them and it was very inconvenient to come and go. They strongly demanded that a hundred gardens be built locally.
The county magistrates in the three places were pressured by local literati and gentry elders, so they had no choice but to report to Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping did not stop them, but replied that he would raise funds by himself.
Three places received responses from Zhao Ping, and what they needed was Zhao Ping's consent.
They also knew that Xi County had been at war with the Hu people for three months, and no matter how wealthy Zhaojiazhuang was, it could not withstand the fighting.
The three places raised funds everywhere, and Zhaojiazhuang naturally did not let them go. They donated more or less, which naturally accounted for the majority of the donations.
After the construction of hundreds of gardens in three places, officials achieved political achievements, and the literati, gentry, and common people benefited.
What did Zhaojiazhuang get? Singing caused bleeding, but also gained fame.
Xiao Huadong and the others came to the Xixian Garden. Miss Ren and Cuihua went straight in, but Xiao Huadong was stopped by the official.
Xiao Huadong couldn't help but be stunned. The two young ladies could go in, why couldn't he.
"Xiao Guanren, are you from Xixian County?" the official asked politely, bowing his hands.
Xiao Huadong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and while returning the gift, he replied: "No, you are not from Xi County, but from the capital."
"Xiao Guan, that's right. Baiyuan Garden stipulates that only people from the West County can enjoy it for free." The official gave another courtesy, with a somewhat unnatural expression on his face, "Xiao Guan, please don't embarrass me."
Xiao Huadong couldn't help but smile bitterly and could only look at Cuihua.
Cuihua made a face at him, chuckled, and finally showed a smug smile.
