Shaoyao couldn't sit still, and seeing that they were talking slowly and calmly, she simply went to find Xiaoliu.
In the mist, Hua Zhi looked up with an obvious smile in her eyes, "How do you think Yang Qi is going to convince Yang Zheng that he has indeed written a letter of divorce?"
"Yang Zheng will eventually believe it. After all, lying about this matter will not do Yang Qi any good. But he will also be skeptical. Few people in high positions are suspicious."
"Then let him doubt it. He can't come and ask me whether Yang Qi really wrote the letter of divorce."
Gu Yanxi really liked Ah Zhi's arrogant look, "Yang Qi will not do nothing after suffering such a big loss."
"I remember you told me that Wang Rong was very measured in his actions and would not leave any marks."
"Of course, Wang Rong was originally in the Punishment Hall, and he was best at those methods."
"What does Yang Qi do, and what does it have to do with me? You need evidence to convict someone. Does he have it? If he wants to use my aunt not returning to the Yang family as an excuse." Hua Zhi blinked, with cunning in her eyes, "Everyone in the capital knows that he beat my aunt and injured her. My Hua family cares about her and doesn't let her go back to be beaten. What can others say?"
So everything was really taken into account. A smile appeared in Gu Yanxi's eyes. This was a woman who was capable enough to protect herself.
After leaving the Hua family, Gu Yanxi did not go to the palace, but walked towards the north of the city.
There is only one family left in Hualin Lane now, and it is obviously much more deserted. Gu Yanxi looked up at the Hua family's door lintel, thinking about the chaos when their house was ransacked that day, and felt distressed belatedly. If he had met Azhi earlier, if he had known that he would love someone so deeply, he would never let the Hua family suffer this disaster.
But as Ah Zhi said, if the Hua family was fine, she would probably become a wife of the Shen family in May this year. Thinking about it this way, it would be a good thing for him if something happened to the Hua family.
Putting this dark thought deep in his heart, Gu Yanxi ignored the seal and climbed up the wall. With his understanding of the house layout and living habits of each family in Beijing, it didn't take him long to find Hua Zhi's yard.
The yard was a bit messy, but the house was unexpectedly tidy. The furniture was covered with dust, as if the owner had just gone on a long trip and had not returned yet.
Gu Yanxi looked greedily at the place where Ah Zhi had lived for many years, imagining her reading, chatting, painting or studying recipes with Fu Dong in this room. She could always live a good life no matter what the environment was.
I guess in the past when the Hua family was stable, she really was the eldest girl of the Hua family, oblivious to what was happening outside.
Looking around, Gu Yanxi did not go looking for Azhi's personal belongings. He just picked up a handkerchief left on the bed and put it in his arms. Seeing the wooden chessboard with a smooth edge on the cabinet, he couldn't help but walk over, rubbed it in his hand for a while, and took out the chess box to take a look. There should be some chess pieces missing, but Azhi would be happy if she could hold this old thing again.
Gu Yanxi walked around the room a few more times before taking her things and leaving the house, going to the ear room on the right.
This side faces the sun, so the tea leaves need to be placed in a dry place, and should be placed there.
As expected, it didn't take much effort to find the tea leaves in the tightly sealed large jars. A quick glance around revealed that there were six large jars.
He clapped his hands lightly, and two people came in from outside. He moved out two of them first, and the two people understood and moved the other four out as well.
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something and went to the left ear room again. He followed Fu Dong to get something, probably knowing her habit of storing things.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the ear room, I smelled all kinds of odors, especially the sour smell.
After moving the stones off the vat, a sour and spicy smell wafted into his nose. He knew it was kimchi just by smelling it. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, fished out half a cabbage, tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth. It was very good, not only did it not taste bad, but it was also very good.
The emperor's uncle has not had a very good appetite recently, and he always needs this thing to finish a bowl of rice. My grandmother also likes it very much, but he can't always go to Azhi to ask for it. It's easier for him to ask for it with these.
He was afraid that the smell would go bad, so he didn't even open the other jars to see what was inside and just asked someone to take it away.
He was also bad. He put the things in the ear room in the front yard without saying hello. Lan Qiao, the maid who took over Fu Dong's cooking job, went in early in the morning to get the things. She was shocked to see so many extra things. Fortunately, she had followed Hua Zhi for many years and was still brave enough. She kept it secret and didn't tell anyone. She quickly went to the backyard to report the matter to the young lady.
After Hua Zhi asked what the extra things were, she had a rough idea in her mind and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, just use what you can use."
After all, Lan Qiao had followed Hua Zhi for many years. After she calmed down, she gradually came to her senses. These big jars and vats were so familiar that she couldn't help but think about it, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't say it!
She agreed and really went back to open a jar. She was overjoyed to see that there were cowpeas inside. She scooped some out, cut them into small pieces, and mixed them. It was perfect to use in porridge, and it tasted much better than the freshly made ones they made.
Hua Zhi went to the ear room, touched the jars and pots that had been used for several years, and her lips curled up slightly, feeling very happy.
Yingchun was a little worried, "Miss, this might not be a good idea, if people knew about it..."
"Are there a few words engraved on it: 'Hua Family Old House'? How could I have moved such a heavy thing here?" Hua Zhi pushed the responsibility away completely. She didn't even acknowledge that she had dealt with Yang Qi. Now he wanted her to acknowledge this thing that she didn't get in the first place
Yingchun suddenly turned around and called out, "Mr. Lu."
Hua Zhi turned around and patted the big jar, "Why did you think of bringing this here as well?"
"Of course I have something to ask for. Give me some. My grandmother and uncle both love this."
"If you don't know, you might think there are some delicacies in here." Hua Zhi laughed, "Baoxia, pack some and send them to Fudong. She will be happy. Pack some for Mr. Lu, but pack less."
Baoxia covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
After they walked outside, Hua Zhi explained, "This stuff will easily go bad if left for too long. When you take it back, you can refrigerate it. It will be fine for a few days, but it will taste better if you put it in a large jar. Just come and get it every few days."
Gu Yanxi responded in a soft voice, he knew it better than anyone else, the fact that Ah Zhi would explain to him was proof that she cared about him. She wouldn't say a word to someone she didn't care about, and would not pay any attention to what you thought.
"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that when we go to the North this year, we can teach this method to the servants there and ask them to make some. Not to mention eating it every day, it would be great to use it as a side dish. And tea leaves are also my grandfather's favorite, but they break too easily and can't withstand such a long journey. I need to find a way to bring some to him."
