Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 360 I wonder if Miss Hua is willing?

Looking back and seeing Hua Lei's suspicious look, Bai Yunhe added, "Because I was too excited to meet Miss Hua today, I didn't sleep well."

Hua Lei looked at Bai Yunhe speechlessly. She couldn't hide the fatigue between her brows. It should be because she didn't sleep well for a long time or was in a bad mood. However, since Bai Yunhe didn't want to tell the truth, Hua Lei didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject.

"By the way, Mr. Bai, I calculated the accounts for the sweaters a few days ago, and I estimate that everyone's share, which was originally distributed in early April, may be reduced this time.

Because the herdsmen in Mobei have sent news that the number of wool-producing sheep they raise this year is more than in previous years, so this year's raw wool production will be 20% to 30% more than last year, so I need to prepare more money to buy raw wool. So..."

"Miss Hua, you are in charge of everything regarding the sweaters. I have no objection. If there is not enough money, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me." Bai Yunhe said before Hua Lei finished speaking.

Looking at the flower buds, Bai Yunhe paused, feeling bitter in his heart. "Miss Hua, you don't know that before the New Year, my sisters-in-law had quarreled several times over the money they had divided. This New Year, the atmosphere at home has been very depressing. I haven't had a good sleep for a long time."

"Miss Hua, I have an unreasonable request. I would like to ask Miss Hua to do me a favor. I wonder if Miss Hua is willing to do it?" After thinking for a while, Bai Yunhe asked softly.

Hua Lei smiled and asked, "Mr. Bai, what is it? Tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help."

"Well... could you not give me my share of the money from the wool sweater sales? Just keep it in the account first. Miss Hua, you can use it as a backup or keep it for me. You can give it to me when I need it later? Is this okay?"

Hua Lei was stunned. There is such a thing. I give you money and still push you away. So she couldn't help but ask, "Why? Isn't it good to give you money?"

"I...I have a bad habit. When I have too much money, I tend to spend it recklessly and cannot keep it. So I would like to ask Miss Hua to do me a favor and keep these shares for me temporarily. I can give them to Miss Hua for free without charging any interest. If Miss Hua still feels that it is not feasible, I can also pay you the custody fee."

Bai Yunhe didn't want to tell Hualei about the troubles at home, so he could only find a lame excuse. If he didn't get the money back, he could tell his family that he didn't make any money on the sweater. Although he might not be able to hide it, he could delay it for a while.

Hualei looked at Bai Yunhe. When did the once high-spirited and carefree Bai Yunhe become so cautious and worried? After thinking for a while, she nodded.

"Okay, since Mr. Bai doesn't want to take the silver first, then I won't give it to you. But I won't embezzle the silver you put in the account, so I won't give you interest. Of course, I won't ask you for storage fees. Whenever you need it, just tell me three or four days in advance." Hua Lei said straight to the point.

"Thank you, Miss Hua." Bai Yunhe thanked him softly. He was once again unsure in his heart. Should he really drag Miss Hua into the center of the vortex surrounded by wolves? Can she resist this endless open and secret struggle?

My grandmother is old and has stopped taking care of the family for a long time. In recent years, my mother's health has not been very good. Apart from some major personal relationships and weddings in the mansion, my mother is still in charge of the general direction, but she doesn't care about many other small matters.

Although the power of managing the Dingxi Marquis Mansion has not been officially transferred to the eldest sister-in-law, in fact, it is the eldest sister-in-law who is in charge. Together with several other sisters-in-law, the Dingxi Marquis Mansion has become their main stage.

If I really marry Miss Hua, from the moment Miss Hua steps into the Dingxi Marquis Mansion, I will probably become the common target of attack by several sisters-in-law, and she will be the target of attack for the rest of her life, because as a descendant of the Dingxi Marquis Mansion, I cannot separate from the family and live on my own.

Bai Yunhe's heart has been like a dumb person eating bitter herbs lately, he has no words to express his pain. He has been wavering between persistence and giving up on the matter of Hualei.

He liked Miss Hua and wanted to marry her, there was no doubt about that. But he was also unwilling to drag Miss Hua into his own predicament and make her suffer, for he was afraid that Miss Hua would not be able to bear it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for him to give up Miss Hua and find a woman from a rich and powerful family with a better family background than his sisters-in-law to compete with his sisters-in-law. However, when he thought about giving up Miss Hua, Bai Yunhe felt a dull pain in his heart and was unwilling to give up.

As they were talking, they arrived at the workshop unknowingly. The two of them entered the workshop together, followed by Uncle Zhao.

There were about forty or fifty people in the workshop, gathered together discussing something. When they saw Hua Lei coming in, Minister Li in the crowd waved to Hua Lei, motioning her to come over.

It turned out that they were discussing how big the water bucket of the waterwheel should be. The flower bud model was about one meter in diameter, and the water bucket should be about one foot deep.

If the waterwheel is enlarged ten times proportionally, the water bucket will have to be about ten feet deep. However, the shape of the water bucket is a funnel, so if the depth increases proportionally, the volume will increase exponentially.

If we expand it directly according to the data, the waterwheel may not be able to turn because there is too much water in the water bucket, or the wooden boards in the water bucket may not be able to bear the weight and be destroyed because there is too much water.

In order for the waterwheel to rotate and the water bucket to remain intact, the depth of the water bucket cannot be increased in proportion, so all the data must be re-proportioned. This is indeed a problem, involving the calculation of the cone volume. It is also related to the hardness and weight of the wood itself.

Hua Lei didn't know if there was such knowledge in the mathematics of the Great Sheng Dynasty. However, since Emperor Shengwu promised Lord Pei that he would ask the Ministry of Works to help Hua Lei build a waterwheel, Rong Jin had calculated all these data, even the wood to be used was assumed one by one, and all were listed on a piece of paper. Before coming here today, Hua Lei brought this piece of paper with her.

When Minister Li saw Rong Jin's drawings, he was overjoyed. This would help share the workload for him.

So, several people from the Ministry of Industry recalculated and discussed the data and finally determined the depth of the water bucket. After solving this difficult problem, the next step was the actual operation. The craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry were all skilled.

With Uncle Zhao's guidance, things went smoothly.
