Hua Bolin shook his head. He didn't want the Hua family to have any trouble, but he couldn't be so cruel as to let others die. "Is it a trouble that even my eldest sister can't solve?"
"yes."
Hua Bolin thought carefully for a moment, "Can I let Ah Jian stay in the house? I'll let him wear my clothes and share half of my food with him. I'll find a reason to move into my eldest sister's yard, and then no one will know of his existence."
How naive, but Hua Zhi smiled. If one day Berlin cut off all the ties and made himself extremely powerful, she thought she would not recognize him. Her brother could be too kind, even allowed to be weak, but he must not be ruthless. She once had that experience, so she hated it deeply.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Hua Bolin jumped up and said, "I'll go move some things over here. Don't worry, elder sister, I will take good care of Ah Jian."
"No hurry." Hua Zhi said softly, "Starting tomorrow, my elder sister will be busy with something, so you will be the one teaching in the clan school."
Being a young master is not a one-day or two-day thing, Hua Bolin accepted it very happily, but he still asked one more question, "Is the eldest sister going to take care of the new shop?"
"Du Cheng is busy with that matter. I just need to pay attention to the progress. I have something else to do." Hua Zhi consciously let Berlin have more contact with family matters and explained them in detail. "There is a farm east of the city. I want to use it."
"Still running a workshop?"
"It's more like a workshop. I had people make some preparations there before. Berlin, you have to remember that the main branch of a family must be stronger than the side branches in order to be suppressed. But it's not a good thing for one family to dominate. The side branches may not be without capable people. If you use them well, they can be your helpers. If you beat and subdue the disobedient ones, they will be more loyal to you than the obedient ones. A single chopstick can break easily, but a bunch of chopsticks can break the hand of someone with bad intentions."
"Yes, elder sister, I remember it." Hua Bolin listened very carefully, "Eldest sister, are you going to use the people from the side branches?"
"Who can I use in the current situation? I have a large family of women. I just need to make a lot of money to make them live a stable life and they will be obedient. But I have to let them know how hard it is to make money. I will not do things that are treacherous."
Hua Bolin thought about it and understood, "What the eldest sister is going to do next is to bring the side branches along and ask them to send people."
"Yes." Hua Zhi took a sip of tea. "There are not many people left in the family. The people we just bought cannot be used until they are trained and trained. We can only transfer people from the side branches."
"Can you trust people from the side branches?"
"That's not important." Hua Zhi pointed at her head, showing a rare bit of complacency, "All the important things are here, what can they do?"
Hua Bolin looked at his elder sister with admiration, and felt that he was still far behind. How could his elder sister be so amazing? She was so capable! No one could compare to her!
Hua Zhi patted his head like a puppy, and then she remembered that she had decided to treat him as an adult. It was just that the current atmosphere was too similar to the way they had interacted as siblings in the past few years.
Every time Berlin looked at her with this look, she felt sour and soft in her heart, and she wanted to teach him everything she knew so that he would have more foundation to stand on his own.
"It's getting late, go pack your things and come over here, and get along well with Ah Jian."
"Yes." Hua Bolin walked to the door and stopped again, then turned around and said, "Eldest sister, someone bullied Ah Jian and you saved him?"
Although there was a slight discrepancy between the facts and what she said, Hua Zhi still nodded. She didn't mind giving herself a good impression in Berlin's mind.
Sure enough, Hua Bolin immediately showed a depressed look and walked out of the house with brisk steps.
Hua Zhi was in a good mood. Her emotions had been up and down all day, but it finally ended well.
***
It was getting late. Ah Jian had tidied himself up and was about to lie down when he saw Hua Bailin coming into the room carrying two large packages. He quickly sat up and looked at him in surprise.
"I've told my eldest sister that from now on I'll sleep with you, you'll wear my clothes, and I'll share half of my food with you, so that no one will know you're here."
But hadn't Sister Hua arranged all these things? Ah Jian, who was more insightful than Berlin in this regard, didn't say anything and wanted to get out of bed to help him clean up.
"Don't move. I told my elder sister that she will take good care of you." Hua Bailin took a few steps forward, helped him back to the bed and helped him lie down. His movements were quite skillful.
This kindness was so overwhelming that Ah Jian was drowned in it and felt it difficult to breathe for a moment. He took a few deep breaths quietly, and a smile emerged from the bottom of his heart. The things he didn't get when he was a prince were easily obtained when he became a person of unknown identity. He wanted to make a joke, but his nose felt sour for some reason.
The two of them squeezed into one bed and slept at each end. Ah Jian was a little uncomfortable with such closeness, but he was mostly happy. This was the closest distance he had ever been to a person, and this closeness came from someone he had just met two hours ago. It was so incredible, and yet it happened so realistically to him.
Hua Bailin was not used to sleeping in the same bed with others before, but in the past few months, his younger brother has always climbed into his bed, and he has adapted to it. However, he can see that Ajian is uncomfortable. From Ajian's words and actions, it can be seen that his background is definitely not simple, and there may be some grudges involved, so the eldest sister did not tell him directly.
He believed that his eldest sister was willing to take the risk to save A Jian and there must be a reason why she had to do so. The most likely possibility was that A Jian had an old relationship with the Hua family. Given his eldest sister's personality, she would not do anything that might bring trouble to the Hua family if it were not for this reason.
In the darkness, Hua Bailin no longer had the innocence he had when facing his elder sister. This child who was taught by Hua Zhi had grown up beyond everyone's expectations, including Hua Zhi.
The weather in early March has become a little warmer, and the sun finally feels warm on our bodies.
Hua Zhi stood in the corridor and squinted her eyes to look at the sky, then turned back and ordered, "Go and invite the three uncles and aunts to the west wing."
Yingchun, Baoxia and Nianqiu went to each of their houses respectively. Liu Xiang took Chunxiang forward, ready to take orders at any time.
"Send someone to invite the fourth wife and the second aunt, and have Butler Xu come and listen."
Chunxiang bowed and left.
Walking out of the yard, Hua Zhi saw Mr. Lu standing in the sun in a tight suit, which made him look more lively.
Hua Zhi has seen many men, but it is rare to find one as masculine as Gu Yanxi. His masculinity is not something that he has trained in the gym, but a combination of nobility and self-confidence that is innate. It is as if no one in this world can bow to him. The decadence he felt yesterday was probably a rare occurrence in his life.
Although all these messy thoughts were running through his mind, he didn't show any of them on his face. He bowed and turned to walk towards the Moon Gate.
Gu Yanxi watched her until she disappeared, and was happy because her attitude towards him was no different from usual.
That's good, he's not in a hurry.
