It wasn't a long separation, but it had been more than a month. Shaoyao tactfully gave the two of them space.
However, Gu Yanxi had no intention of seizing this opportunity. She asked someone to prepare a small space in a windproof and sunny spot in the yard, put out some fragrant tea and snacks, small pillows and cushions, and took people out to bask in the sun.
Hua Zhi held her chin in her hand and looked at Yan Xi, who had become gentler in the sunlight. "Have you been staying here most of the time since you came here?"
"Yes, I am a stranger, so it is better for me to show up less."
"Jin Yang is not small, but he can achieve so much in this regard. Tsk, if he puts his energy into other things, I wonder what he can achieve." Hua Zhi took the hot water bottle handed to her by Bao Xia, and she felt so warm that she felt happy. She finally felt that the coldest time was over.
Seeing Azhi like this, Gu Yanxi's eyes were all filled with smiles. Azhi was actually not a person who was willing to work hard. It could be seen from the fact that even the reputation of being an ugly woman could not force her out of the house for so many years. She just liked to live her own life in her own little world. All she had to worry about every day was how to make something new and delicious. He could imagine what kind of life she had lived in the past years, so he knew even more clearly how much she disliked the daily calculations and busyness like now.
Others would want to show their full potential when they have only three points, but she clearly has ten points but even using one point is too much.
"I heard from Chen Qing that the farm that grows mushrooms is outside the city, and they have opened a shop in the city."
"Well, most of the shops in the city are used to undertake business. Except for the initial effort to recommend it to various shops, later on, the housekeepers of each shop would go to the shops to place orders. Every day, after the mushrooms are delivered to the city, they will be delivered to their doorsteps according to the quantity they need. The shop managers will go to the farm to pick up the goods themselves."
"Don't you sell retail in the shop?"
“Not for retail.”
Hua Zhi gave a thumbs up. "It's a high-end product, very calculated. I think the price will be quite high."
"Twice as much as the capital."
It's really expensive, but this thing can be picked up in the mountains when the season comes, and common people can eat it for free, and they can also sell it at the market, so you can always eat it. Not only is the trading concentrated in large households and restaurants, it also saves trouble.
Gu Yanxi smoothed her hair and said, "I also bought the house at the back. The main door is on another alley. You can live there."
"What do you mean?"
"Since you are going out, you will definitely be noticed. Even people you have known before can come and go again. Living in two different places is just in case. We are both from the capital, and your last name is Hua, so it is easy for people to associate us with each other."
Hua Zhi rubbed her face and said, "I made a mistake the last time I came here."
"How could you have known that you would come again?" Gu Yanxi smiled, "It's a pity that I can't go out with you."
"I'm very happy to be like this now, so leisurely, just like returning to the old days." Hua Zhi leaned on the small table and dreamed, "It would be great if I could live like this every day."
"Wait a little longer, until everything is settled."
“I don’t know how long it will take.”
Gu Yanxi wanted to say it would be soon, but he couldn't say it out loud. If the dust really had to settle, Xiaoliu would have to take the throne, and Xiaoliu's taking the throne meant that his uncle the emperor must have passed away. He wanted to end it all, but he also hoped that his uncle the emperor could live a few more years. However, as long as his uncle the emperor was alive, these things would not end. There was no perfect solution for this matter.
Looking at the lazy Ah Zhi, Gu Yanxi changed the subject, "Berlin will let him stay in Qingzhou forever?"
"I didn't ask him to do that. It's up to him to decide whether to come back or stay there. He's eleven years old now, and it's time for him to learn to make his own decisions. It doesn't involve life or death anyway, so whatever he chooses is fine."
"After the handover in Qingzhou is completed, you can let him go to Xuzhou. That is the Lu family's territory, so there is no need to worry about anything happening to him."
Hua Zhi was still worried, so after thinking it over she decided to write a letter to Berlin.
Gu Yanxi also leaned over the small table and rested his forehead against hers, smiling, "That Yu Weiwei got married not long ago, do you want to meet her?"
After thinking for a while, Hua Zhi shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. Let's see what happens."
"Okay." Gu Yanxi asked again, "Can we not set a date for going to Yinshan Pass this year?"
"how?"
Hua Zhi blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like two small fans, tickling Gu Yanxi's heart, making him unable to help but reach out and stroke her eyes. "I don't know when the matter in Jinyang will be over. You said you would leave for the north in April, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
"I can go alone, just send me a few more people."
"No, I want to go with you."
Hua Zhi's eyes turned around, "Then I'll reluctantly accommodate your time, but it can't be too late, I want to go there again in the second half of the year."
"good."
On the other side, Shaoyao rested her forehead against the pillar and looked at the two childish people with a bit of jealousy. Humph, she would play like this with Huahua next time.
The sun was so bright and Hua Zhi felt so peaceful that she felt drowsy.
"Go inside and sleep, don't catch a cold." As he said this, Gu Yanxi was about to pull the man up and go into the house.
"I won't." Hua Zhi's whole body expressed her resistance, "It's so comfortable outside."
Gu Yanxi could never refuse Ah Zhi. Since it was comfortable here, she would sleep here. She asked Bao Xia to get the quilt, calculating the area that would be exposed to the sun as much as possible when the sun moved westward. Then she picked up Ah Zhi and walked over to sit down. She moved herself to make herself more relaxed, and patted her and said, "Go to sleep."
Hua Zhi liked Yan Xi's unprincipled obedience very much. She buried her face in the man's chest and closed her eyes happily. She took a long breath before Bao Xia came over to get the quilt.
Covering the young lady tightly with a quilt, Bao Xia couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "Don't always give in to the young lady. She can be so willful sometimes."
Looking at the person whose face was clearly visible, Gu Yanxi's heart softened, "Azhi is still willful sometimes?"
"Don't think that the young lady is so capable now. Most girls are not as willful as her." Although she said this, Bao Xia smiled very happily. "In the cold winter, she would secretly make some strange food with ice cubes. Of course, it is delicious, but the girl's body can't stand it. In the summer, she feels hot, so she secretly cuts off the sleeves and trouser legs of her middle clothes. I dare not hang the clothes where people can see them."
He had never seen such a lively Azhi, and Gu Yanxi was full of regrets. The state of mind is closely related to the environment and age. Even if everything has changed in the future, Azhi might never be able to find the mood she had at that time.
Looking at the person whose features became even more beautiful after falling asleep, Gu Yanxi leaned over and gently kissed her forehead. One day, I will be able to let you return to those carefree days.
