Yunlai Restaurant is located on the main street and occupies a large area. Its three-story floor is extremely eye-catching among the generally two-story buildings.
The private rooms on the third floor of Yunlai Restaurant have always been the most popular. Reservations must be made at least two months in advance to get a chance to reserve one, and without a certain status, one cannot go to the third floor.
It's no wonder that everyone wants to go to the third floor. In the whole capital, there is only one restaurant, Yunlai Restaurant, that can be seen from a distance from the Imperial Palace. This kind of psychological satisfaction can be obtained by spending a little money, and it is also very face-saving for the host. The resounding reputation spreads far and wide without any deliberate effort.
After Hua Zhi learned about Yunlai Restaurant, she wanted to give a thumbs up to the person behind the scene. If he could grasp the weaknesses of human nature, customers would naturally flock to it.
Hua Bolin came for this matter. After listening, he said, "Eldest sister, I will go with you."
"According to Daqing law, students and officials are not allowed to engage in business."
"But… "
Hua Zhi tilted her head slightly and looked at him, "Don't you like your elder sister showing up in public?"
Hua Bolin was silent for a moment. "I don't dislike what my elder sister does, but... I don't want others to say anything about her."
"I only care about what you think. What others think or say has nothing to do with me." Hua Zhi smiled freely. She was a person who had walked out of right and wrong, and now she didn't mind getting involved in right and wrong again. She had a body of steel, and it was not so easy to hurt her.
Hua Bailin felt that he might never catch up with his elder sister, but if he didn't work hard, he would lose even the qualification to call her elder sister.
"I will take care of this matter for the next two days. You go and teach."
"Yes, elder sister."
Hua Zhi stretched out her arm to straighten her brother's collar. "The house is so big, with so many people inside and outside. Although I am in charge of the family, I only have two eyes and a pair of ears. It is inevitable that there are things I can't take care of. You have to pay more attention to your elder sister, especially the things in the clan school. You must not neglect them."
"Yes, elder sister, I will."
"And Sui'an, you have to guide him to integrate into the Hua family and integrate him into the brothers and sisters. Don't let him think that he is just staying here temporarily."
Hua Bailin nodded vigorously. His father was thousands of miles away, but they still cared about each other. His cousin's father was right next to him but was like an enemy. In comparison, his cousin's situation was worse than his. Besides, he still had an older sister to rely on and family around him. His cousin had nothing except a mother who needed his care.
But it doesn’t matter, there will be one in the future. Their Hua family is much better than the Yang family.
Soon Du Cheng brought back good news. Bai Mingxia asked her to meet at Yunlai Restaurant at 12:00 am tomorrow.
No one in the Hua family stopped Hua Zhi from going out, but Zhu forced a veil on her head. She didn't want this face to cause trouble, so she let her mother go.
Just as she was about to get on the carriage, a horse came running over. Hua Zhi saw that it was Mr. Lu, so she stopped and waited.
Lin Ying is very close to Hua Zhi and would go straight to her when he sees her.
Hua Zhi lifted a corner of her veil, touched Lin Ying's head, and said, "Mr. Lu, what's going on..."
"I'll go with you."
Hua Zhi didn't ask him how he knew she was going out, "It's in the capital, there won't be any danger."
Gu Yanxi didn't say anything, but she didn't seem to be convinced at all.
Hua Zhi didn't want to miss the time, so she didn't say anything more and stepped on the bench to get into the carriage.
A smile appeared in Gu Yanxi's eyes. Hua Zhi's weakness was that she was not good at rejecting people who were nice to her. When she knew that your starting point was for her good, she would not be able to refuse even if she didn't want to.
In a private room on the third floor of Yunlai Restaurant close to the main street, Bai Mingxia looked down at the tea leaves floating up and down in the teacup, his mind wandering far away.
Born and raised in the capital, he knew the younger generations of various families to some extent. As the third son of the Bai family, there was never a shortage of people hanging around him. However, there were only a few who could truly be considered his friends, and Hua Pingyang was one of them.
Their two families are of similar background and situation. They both have great ambitions but no way to realize them. Hua Pingyang is okay, at least his brother doesn't guard against him like a thief. As long as he doesn't focus on a career in politics, he can live the life he wants. But he can't do that.
His elder brother was inferior to him in every way, yet he still couldn't tolerate him. Whenever he did something, his elder brother would send people to interfere. After a long time, he became too lazy to bother with it anymore, so he took over the family business and completely gave up those thoughts.
But even though he withdrew so completely, his elder brother was still worried that he had embezzled the public money. Not only did he replace all the accountants with his own people, he also checked the accounts himself from time to time. Even though he behaved so badly, his father only gave him a few verbal warnings, and his mother even asked him to back down. However, no one noticed that he had already retreated to the edge of the cliff.
Sometimes, I really want to just push him down, step on him and let him see how big the gap between us is.
There was a gentle knock on the door. Bai Mingxia came back to his senses, sat up straight and motioned for the servant to open the door.
Even though you can't see the face of the woman who came in wearing a veil, you can still tell that she is calm and composed.
Bai Mingxia knew Hua Zhi. After Hua Pingyang drank too much yellow soup, he lamented more than once that it was a pity that his niece was a girl. Now it seems that it is fortunate that she is a girl, otherwise the Hua family would have lost its man and the old lady, and it is hard to know what would have become of it.
Bai Mingxia glanced at the man who followed her in and stood against the wall, and frowned slightly. Whose family is this? Why would a girl from the Hua family walk with a strange man
Hua Zhi took off her veil and handed it to Bao Xia, bowing and saying, "Hua greets Mr. Bai."
"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk." This was the first time Bai Mingxia met Hua Zhi. She was indeed as pretty as the rumors said, but what impressed him even more was her attitude. She was neither humble nor impatient, and she didn't put herself in a low position, nor did she think highly of herself. She just put herself in the same position as him, wanting to have an equal dialogue.
An equal dialogue, Bai Mingxia smiled, quite interesting.
"I heard that you went to the North and met Yue Zhi?"
Yuezhi is Hua Pingyang's pen name. Hua Zhi did not ask how he knew she had gone to the North. She nodded and said, "Yes, I saw him. Fourth uncle said that Mr. Bai is a righteous man. If he encounters any difficulties, he can ask you for help."
Bai Mingxia smiled again. Based on his understanding of Yue Zhi, he might not have said this. "I think you came to me this time because you want my help with something. Tell me."
"Rather than helping unilaterally, I would rather cooperate with Mr. Bai." Hua Zhi glanced at Xu Jie. Xu Jie carried the two porcelain jars to the table, removed the seals and opened the lids. A fresh fruity fragrance wafted into the air, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger in the closed space.
Bai Mingxia was in charge of the family business and had always paid attention to this area. He had also heard that the Hua family opened a shop but no one came to the store. However, he did not care about it. He hoped that the Hua family would not try to expand. Now it was the Hua family's thing to do to close the door and disappear from other people's mouths.
At this moment, he did not even look at the two crystal clear and plump little things in front of him, but looked directly at Hua Zhi and said, "If the Hua family is short of money, I can pay for it. I can afford any amount."
"If a family has to rely on outsiders to survive, then it is ruined." Hua Zhi raised her head slightly, with a smile on her face, "Even if this deal fails, I can still support the Hua family."
