Blossom in Adversity

Chapter 55: The old lady's suggestion

Views:

Shaoyao followed him out of the corner gate, and when she saw the prince was still moving forward, she became anxious, took a few quick steps and grabbed the corner of the prince's clothes, "I want to go back quickly to eat..."

Gu Yanxi stopped and looked at her helplessly. She had only lived here for one day and already she had to say "go back". If she stayed here longer, would she still remember which way the door opened

"Remember my current name. Call me Brother Yan on weekdays and treat me as an ordinary companion."

"Can I call you Brother Yan?"

"If I say yes, then yes."

Shaoyao was no longer afraid and shouted happily, "Brother Yan."

Something flashed in Gu Yanxi's eyes, but Shaoyao, who was only thinking about going back to eat, didn't notice it. She just hoped that the prince would let her go soon.

"You're not wearing a veil."

Shaoyao subconsciously reached out her hand and felt around, and she really wasn't wearing it, but she had met several people along the way, and they had greeted her. She should have noticed if they showed even the slightest bit of disgust or fear, but...

Gu Yanxi curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's go eat."

"Oh." Shaoyao walked back obediently, still thinking about the servants' reactions along the way. She paid more attention when she entered the door. The servant guarding the door bowed to her when he saw her, and then he did what he was supposed to do.

As she walked in, people she met all greeted her and called her Miss Shaoyao. The biggest reaction was that they didn't even look at her, but there was no expression of displeasure or disgust on their faces.

Shaoyao's steps became lighter and lighter, and finally she simply used the light body technique and happily jumped into her friend's yard.

"Flower."

Hua Zhi walked to the door to greet her, "Go wash your hands quickly, Liu Xiang, go and ask Fu Dong to set the table."

"yes."

Shaoyao saw her veil on the shelf at a glance, and with sparkling eyes, she pulled her friend aside and said, "Huahua, your servants are not afraid of my face."

"Happy?"

Shaoyao nodded vigorously, she was very happy. Although she didn't wear it at home, it was different. Most of the people living there were her companions, and the servants were all trained. Even so, there were some people who talked nonsense at the beginning, but they didn't dare to do it again after the prince severely criticized them once.

But she has only been in the Hua family for less than two days!

Hua Zhi felt soft at the puppy-like look in her eyes, so she pulled her over to wash her hands, saying, "It's just a normal thing, it's rude to make a fuss about it."

Shaoyao narrowed her eyes and smiled. She knew this was not normal, but since Huahua said it was normal, then it was normal.

"From now on, you don't need to wear a veil when you come to the Hua family. It can block the wind when it's cold, but it's very uncomfortable when it's hot."

"Yeah, okay."

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Hua Zhi took Shaoyao to her bed for a nap. When she woke up, she saw Shaoyao curled up on one side. This was a very insecure sleeping position. No matter how optimistic and strong she usually appeared, what had happened to her could not have left no trace. She couldn't imagine how tragic it must have been for her brain to choose to forget.

After pulling the quilt for her, Hua Zhi got out of bed quietly and motioned Yingchun to take her clothes and go to the outer room.

While getting dressed, she whispered, "I'm going to go to grandma's room and ask everyone to be more careful."

"yes."

The old lady had just gotten up, and when she saw her granddaughter, she understood her purpose. Not only did she know that a foreign man had come to the house in the morning, but several daughters-in-law also knew about it. The second and third daughters-in-law came over at that time and expressed their opposition openly and secretly, but she blocked them all.

The granddaughter's decision was not wrong. I knew she was worried. I couldn't blame her for making a fuss when four children in the family were sick at once.

"Did Grandma have a good rest?"

"It's all right. The autumn heat is strong. No matter how big the matter is, there's no need to come here at this time. Don't get caught in the sun."

Hua Zhi felt warm in her heart. She knew that her grandmother couldn't be unaware of Lu Yanxi's entry into the mansion, and she tacitly agreed to it by saying this.

"It's almost October now. No matter how hot it is, you won't get too hot. If it's a little later, grandma might as well go out for a walk. It's good for your health."

The old lady smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to you."

Hua Zhi smiled, took the ginseng tea handed over by Nanny Su, blew on it, and then handed it to her grandmother. She waited for her to drink half a cup before she told her grandmother her intention. "Peony knew that I wanted to invite Mr. Wu, so she secretly called someone to come to me. That person is her companion, and his skills are far beyond those of ordinary Mr. Wu. Compared with the people invited by my grandfather, Shaoyao's companion is more trustworthy, so I accepted it. When he comes tomorrow, you can go to the front yard to take a look and take a look."

"What is Shaoyao's origin? What is this person's origin? Will he bring trouble to the Hua family?"

"I don't know their specific origins. I can only tell from the few times we've dealt with them that they are not evil people. In my opinion, what does it matter what their origins are? What else can our Hua family be targeted by others? Everyone in the capital knows that the Hua family is protected by the Queen Mother, and even the emperor has acquiesced. Who would have nothing better to do than to provoke the Hua family at this time?"

The old lady thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. She had overcomplicated the problem. In fact, it was nothing more than that. Without this concern, anyone who was willing to help the Hua family at this time would be worthy of being remembered by the Hua family.

"Since you know what's going on, just go for it. I think that female doctor is pretty good and worth dating."

"Yes, there are only a few people who can maintain their innocent heart after going through so many hardships. Most people in the world cannot compare to her. I am willing to give some trust to her companions who she can trust."

The old lady patted her hands and suddenly said something else, "Your second and third sisters are also somewhat famous for their talents in the capital. Grandmother wants them to try to go to the clan school. What do you think?"

Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows, "What do they think?"

"Of course I will talk to them only after you nod your head." The old lady said matter-of-factly, "You have a lot of things to take care of, and I thought it would be good if they could take your place in teaching the children when you are busy."

Hua Zhi didn't comment, but she didn't object to it either. "Grandma's plan is good, why don't you talk to my two sisters and ask them to get ready and go to the clan school in two days to give the children a trial lesson? Then we can all go and listen. What do you think?"

"That's very kind." The old lady agreed with a smile, and she was extremely satisfied in her heart. Before, she was a little worried that Zhi'er would not tolerate her sisters standing up, but now it seems that she was just being petty.

Hua Zhi knew very well that her grandmother was testing her, but she really hoped that the two of them could get together. There would be more and more things to do at home in the future, and she had to go to the north again, so she would be glad to have someone to do it for her.

Unfortunately, my grandmother would probably be disappointed. My grandfather’s comment on my two sisters was: they could recognize all the characters, but they didn’t put them together very well.

She had also read the poems they had written. In the world she had lived in, they could be called talented women. But in the Daqing Dynasty where every educated person could write a few poems, their level was not good enough. It would be better for them to not show off their poems like she did.
