As soon as Yu Xiasheng left, Hua Zhi asked someone to invite Hua Ling, who had become more and more calm recently.
She forgave him for the ceremony and Hua Zhi asked directly, "What do you think of Yu Xiasheng?"
Hua Ling didn't think much about it, she just thought that her elder sister wanted to use him, so she said: "He should have a good character and have no bad intentions towards the Hua family."
"He just came here." Hua Zhi blinked, "He came to ask for marriage, to marry the third daughter of the Hua family."
Hua Ling was stunned. After she reacted, she stood up suddenly. Not only her face but also her neck turned red. Just now, she praised that man!
"Eldest sister!"
Hua Zhi's eyes were full of smiles. "I'll ask someone to help check his background. If he's good, then we can talk. If he's a hypocrite, we two sisters should probably go see Shaoyao."
Hua Ling's heart was pounding. Which girl doesn't want to find a perfect husband? She had fantasized about it herself. After what happened, she thought about not getting married. But the man who tried to save her when she was in trouble and knew best what happened to her actually came to ask her to marry him? !
Thinking of Yu Xiasheng's gentle and handsome face, Hua Ling blushed so much that blood almost dripped out, and her eyes were filled with joy. He was not one of those uneducated playboys in Beijing, nor was he a second-generation rich man with a lot of bad habits. Not long ago, he had won the Middle East Yuan. This person, this person came to ask her to marry him...
Seeing her like this, Hua Zhi felt a little regretful that she had said this so early. She originally wanted to ask her opinion, but now it seems that she is too concerned about it. If it succeeds, it will be fine and everyone will be happy. If it fails, Hua Ling will be afraid that she will have a hard time.
After thinking for a while, Hua Zhi said, "Yu Xiasheng and I agreed to discuss this matter after November, when we are done with the mourning period. The reason I told you so early is because I thought this is your marriage. If you don't like it, I will find a way to refuse. This is the person you want to spend your life with. No one else's opinion is as important as your opinion. But you also have to be aware that things are uncertain as long as they are not decided. Don't take it too seriously."
Hua Ling took a deep breath. Although her face was still red, she did not hide away. "Don't worry, elder sister. I understand what you mean. Let everything go with the flow and don't force it."
"Keep this a secret and don't tell anyone. The same goes for your mother."
"Yes, I know."
Hua Zhi nodded and turned to talk to her about business. The canned food business was 100% profitable, and she would make money very quickly when she scaled up the business. However, she did not intend to selflessly offer this business to him. Anyway, the man would not remember her kindness, so why bother trying to please him
After sending the absent-minded Hua Ling away, Hua Zhi flipped through the desk. Seeing that there was nothing that needed to be dealt with, she simply started to be lazy. "Madam Su, what do you think about this matter?"
Madam Su ate well while recovering from her illness. She was whiter and more plump than before, and looked very kind. When she heard what the eldest girl said, she smiled and said, "I think Mr. Yu is interested in the third girl. Although you are in front of her, there is still the second girl in front of the third girl. It's not good to surpass her."
"That's what I was thinking." Hua Zhi rubbed her forehead. "After the mourning period is over, there should be news from grandma and the Cai family. But my second sister is more troublesome than my third sister."
Hua Xin is a concubine's daughter!
If the Hua family prospers, concubines' daughters can also marry well, just like my younger sister, who was selected from a group of families by the Yang family back then. But it may not be easy to find a suitable marriage for Hua Xin now.
It's not easy but you have to find one, otherwise how can you marry the third girl if the second girl doesn't marry you
As for the older girls... Hua Zhi didn't even count herself in them.
When Gu Yanxi came over that day, he brought someone with him. Hua Zhi took a closer look and recognized that it was Xiaoshuang.
He grew taller, whiter, and his temperament changed greatly. He gave Hua Zhi a great gift, and Hua Zhi accepted it.
"Where's Xiaoliu?" Gu Yanxi walked over to Azhi and sat down and asked.
"He's reading in the house. He's been too ambitious lately. You should talk to him carefully, otherwise he'll hurt his eyes."
Gu Yanxi looked at Xiaoshuang and said, "Go and call them over."
Xiao Shuang responded, and her every move was very disciplined, which was completely different from what she was then.
"Is he available?"
"It's still a long way to go. Xiaoliu is short of people, so let him come back and serve first."
Hua Zhi glanced at him and said, "One Xiaoshuang alone is not enough. You have to assign some people to him, so that he won't be left without the power to protect himself when something happens."
"There will be someone following him when he goes out, don't worry." Gu Yanxi's lips curled up when she saw her protecting her child. "Not only did I make arrangements, the Sun family also sent people. Before, they had to hide and tease, but now that they are out in the open, the Sun family sent people over openly, but they didn't let them enter the Hua family."
"The Sun family is not afraid of that person?"
"Xiao Liu is the only child of the Sun family. It would be suspicious if they did nothing."
As he was talking, Xiaoliu appeared at the door, "Sister Hua, Brother Yan Xi."
"Now that Xiaoshuang is back, I have to take back the servants I sent to you before."
Xiaoliu responded obediently. Sister Hua had always been different from others, so she had never thought of putting anyone around him.
"By the way, does Xiaoliu have a residence outside?"
"The prince can only open a palace when he is sixteen."
Hua Zhi was surprised, "You only have one residence in the palace?"
"right."
"What if the emperor asks him to live back in the palace?"
"If he asks for this, it means he wants Xiaoliu's life." Gu Yanxi's voice was light, as if it was just a common saying, but Xiaoliu's face changed several times, and then he bent down deeply, "Xiaoliu thanks Brother Yanxi for reminding me."
"You must be alert everywhere in this capital. Anyone and anything can be loyal today and treacherous tomorrow. You must first learn how to identify people and use them."
It was rare for Gu Yanxi to be willing to give some advice, and Xiaoliu kept it firmly in mind, "If Sister Hua goes north, can I still live here?"
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, there will always be a place for you in the Hua family."
Gu Yanxi thought more, "Are you willing to go back to the Prince's Mansion?"
Xiao Liu shook his head. He didn't want to go. In his heart, the Hua family was the place that made him feel at ease. Besides, "The prince has always been aloof from the world. There's no need to let people know too early that the prince has stood on my side."
Gu Yanxi and Hua Zhi looked at each other and were both satisfied. They thought that their brains were useful because they could think of problems and figure them out.
Hua Zhi sent the two to play in the sandbox on the pretext of being familiar with each other. She looked at the handsome man with cold features and asked, "Does the emperor allow it?"
"Yes, and the return date is set." Gu Yanxi smiled, "He got really angry, not at me, but at you. The seventh part will be finalized soon, and he doesn't want you to leave Beijing at this time."
"Anyone in the officialdom knows those things better than me, and I am not a member of the officialdom, so I don't need to report to him where I go."
It is precisely because he knew this that the emperor could only get angry and could not really detain anyone in the capital and not allow them to leave. He wanted to use Hua Zhi, and now he had figured out her character. If he really did not allow her to go north, she would quit this job. He could use the Hua family to threaten her, but he could not control her. He did not want to force anyone to death unless it was necessary.
