Shen Mingzhu kept her head slightly lowered, allowing people to see her beautiful face, and also showed her slightly shy posture when seeing foreign men.
After hearing this, she dared to raise her head and look at Chu Tianyu.
Those eyes were like a clear spring, with shimmering water.
She nodded gently: "Replying to the Second Prince, what Sister Ruohua said is true. It is true that I discovered that the oil-saving lamp can benefit the people, and then I reported it to the county magistrate, thinking that it can benefit the people. The county magistrate also said that I have made great contributions, but I don't know why the credit finally fell on someone else. Maybe it's because I have no one to rely on, and people's words don't matter!"
Her tone was tender and a little aggrieved, and her voice was naturally charming, which made all the men in the room feel half-softened!
Jiang Junxian, the son of the Minister of Industry, snorted coldly: "What else could it be? Isn't Ren Zilin the county magistrate of Futai County? He found out about this, so he must have gotten there first!"
Jiang Junxian heard his father talk about the oil-saving lamp matter. It was originally their achievement, but it was taken away by the people on the eldest prince's side!
His father thought that the man cast a wide net and was worried that the credit would not go to him, so people from both sides joined him.
I didn’t expect it to be like this!
Yao Zhengxian didn't quite believe it, and asked, "Miss Shen, do you have evidence to prove that you invented the fuel-saving lamp?"
Shen Mingzhu shook her head innocently, "I have no evidence, but many people in Futai County know about this. Because I thought that fuel-saving lamps were good things, especially for poor children and poor people, so I asked the porcelain kiln workshop to make many fuel-saving lamps and gave them to the students of the academy and the people of several villages."
Yao Zhengxian didn't expect that she would do all these, which was quite smart of her.
Chu Tianyu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha... Miss Shen is really kind-hearted! Good deeds will be rewarded! This is the best proof!"
Being able to come up with a fuel-saving lamp proves that he has some ability! He has always preferred beautiful and smart women.
As for giving them to scholars and common people, it may be out of kindness or for fame, it doesn’t matter. If it’s the latter, it will make her look even smarter!
Shen Mingzhu blushed and lowered her head, her tone a little depressed: "But, Futai County is so far away from here, most of the people are afraid of dealing with the government, and they can't all travel thousands of miles to Beijing to testify for me. Some things are destined to happen, and if they are not destined, don't force it! I have accepted my fate!"
Zhang Ruohua smiled and said, "You are wrong. What is yours is destined to be yours. No one else can take it away! You have met me and the Second Prince, which proves that the credit for saving oil lamps cannot be escaped. It must be yours! Right, Your Highness?"
Chu Tianyu nodded: "Well. Let's eat first! This prince is hungry. After eating, find a place and Miss Shen will tell this prince about the oil-saving lamp in detail. Don't worry, it's your credit!"
Who is Chu Tianyu? As a prince, how many women have he seen playing tricks on him
It's not like he couldn't see that Shen Mingzhu was playing tricks in front of him.
However, he has always been generous to women who can help him.
Anyway, he is a prince and an adult. There are already many women in his backyard. One more is not a big deal. The emperor won't say anything if he knows.
Several young men instantly revealed ambiguous looks in their eyes.
"Yes!" Shen Mingzhu suppressed her excitement and responded softly.
She picked up the chopsticks with an elegant manner and ate in small bites. Although she looked quiet on the outside, only she knew how excited she was inside!
Zhou Yingying was secretly anxious when she saw that all the men present only paid attention to Shen Mingzhu.
She secretly glanced at Yao Zhengxian. Is this the young master of the Yao family that Miss Zhang mentioned
He is also quite handsome.
Although her status was not as high as the second prince's, and her appearance was not as outstanding as the second prince, she still had some self-awareness. She was not as pretty as Shen Mingzhu, and her family was not as wealthy as Shen Mingzhu's.
Chen's Winery is one of the most famous wineries in Futai County and even in the entire city!
So she didn't dare to dream about being the second prince. She would be satisfied if she could marry the young master of the Yao family.
... ... .
The next part was all gossip, mainly asking what Shen Mingzhu knew, and making an appointment with a few people to go enjoy the flowers and ride horses.
Another thing is to praise the new dishes for being delicious.
Xing Nong had no interest in listening any further.
She came here to eavesdrop and see what was going on between Gu Ping and Zhou Yingying.
Gu said that if she saw Gu Ping and her daughter, she would definitely persuade them to go back.
Xingnong didn't plan to persuade them. They were all blinded by wealth. How could he persuade them
If she went to persuade them, they might even think that she was blocking their way to wealth and fame.
People cannot be persuaded. They will only grow up when they make mistakes and suffer losses.

Next, Xingnong enjoyed the food.
After Songbai tasted the first bite, he couldn't wait to taste every dish. He widened his eyes and said, "Miss Xingnong, did you teach the chefs in the guest house to make these new dishes?"
Xing Nong nodded: "Well, how does it taste?"
Songbai: “Very delicious!”
He glanced at Chu Tiankuo: It’s over, from now on Yingbin Building will no longer be invincible among the four countries!
In the future, this Yingke Building will definitely steal the business from Yingbin Building!
Isn't the master worried
Chu Tiankuo ate the food in the bowl slowly and elegantly, without any worry at all.
Then Songbai quickly figured it out himself. That’s right, why should the master worry
As long as the master marries Miss Xingnong home, will he still worry that the Yingbin Building will not be as good as the Yingke Building in the future
Miss Xingnong has moved into Xingyuan. Is she far from becoming the Crown Princess
Moreover, Miss Xingnong is about to cooperate with her master to open a money house.
She and her master are senior and junior brothers and sisters.
Well, considering this, Miss Xingnong still has a closer relationship with her master.
Thinking of something, Songbai asked again: "Master, Miss Xingnong, have you thought of a name for the bank? I'll go and order a plaque as soon as possible."
Xing Nong looked at Chu Tiankuo: "I didn't think about it, what about you?"
Chu Tiankuo had thought of it long ago: "Tianxing Bank."
Songbai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Good! This is very good! Is it Miss Xingnong?"
The master finally got smart for once.
You can tell right away that this is a combination of the two names.
Xing Nong's mouth twitched. A money house is equivalent to a bank, which reminded her of Tiandi Bank.
"Is Tianxing Bank good? Is it worse than Chu's Bank?"
The two said in unison: "What's wrong with Tianxing Bank?"
Xing Nong: "..."
Is it necessary to react so strongly
Songbai: "The Chu family bank is vulgar! All the banks in the world are called Chu family banks, there is nothing new about it. Tianxing Bank is so innovative! It sounds like... a unique bank in the world! The most perfect combination!"
Xing Nong's mouth twitched: "Yeah, that's right!"
It’s really innovative!
They like it!
Two to one, they won!

After lunch, the three of them waited until the people in the private room next door left before they left.
Chu Tiankuo took Xingnong to the fighting arena on the next street to earn money, and then went to Qian's Bank to withdraw money.
This street is the second busiest street in the capital, with entertainment venues such as the Colosseum, gambling houses, Zuichunlou, and fighting arenas.
The fighting arena is a place specifically for formation masters to fight.
The fighting field was very lively these two days.
A young man in white with a tiger-head mask has defeated all the formation masters for two consecutive days and won countless silver.
