After practicing martial arts, there is a quarter of an hour's rest. After eating some cakes and taking a rest, you can start studying.
Watching Hua Zhi enter the school out of the corner of his eye, Gu Yanxi also walked over slowly. Everyone in the front yard knew that he was Mr. Wu invited back by the eldest lady, and no one stopped him.
If you get closer, you can hear Hua Zhi's teaching voice, which is clear and soothing, and penetrates into people's hearts, making people listen to it unconsciously.
Gu Yanxi leaned against the pillar and squinted her eyes to look at the sky. It was a pity that Hua Zhi gave birth to a girl. If she was a boy, the Hua family would be very wealthy! Even this difficulty could probably be resolved by her first. Being trapped in the inner house was too restrictive for her.
It was not until the children's noise was heard that Gu Yanxi realized that he had been standing there listening for half an hour. It was too late to escape, so he simply walked out from behind the column. He did not see Hua Zhi, but saw Mu Qing.
The two of them had a quick glance at each other in the morning and both knew each other's identities.
Gu Yanxi respected his character and took the initiative to bow, "Lu Yanxi greets Mr. Mu."
Mu Qing returned the greeting, "Mr. Lu."
The two looked at each other, smiled and went their separate ways. The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water, so there is no need to talk about deep things for the time being.
Seeing that Hua Zhi hadn't come out yet, Gu Yanxi took the opportunity to walk away and headed to the east where Hua Zhi was taking a break from teaching. He saw Shaoyao pounding herbs in the yard. He couldn't barge in, so he waved and called her out, "Where did you get the herbs?"
"I had someone deliver it. By the way, Huahua gave me this." Shaoyao took out a book from the pocket where she usually kept various medicines and placed it in front of Gu Yanxi like offering a treasure.
"Rao's Medical Classics?" Gu Yanxi was a little surprised that this medical book that he had been looking for for a long time was in the Hua family. However, considering the number of books in the Hua family, this was indeed possible. "Did they bring all the books out?"
"We brought out most of them. Huahua said that fifteen of the twenty carts of stuff they brought were books. She asked me to read this one first and she would look for it for me. There should be more."
There are not many people that Gu Yanxi admires, and the ancestor of the Hua family is one of them. In the 170 years since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, there are only five families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years. The other four have fallen, and the worst one almost had its inheritance cut off. Only the Hua family has continued steadily to this day.
Several generations of emperors have said that the ancestor of the Hua family, Hua Jingyan, who once served as the prime minister, was a man of great wisdom. As long as the Hua family does not betray their ancestors and always acts according to the family rules, the Hua family will not collapse, and the mediocrity of one or two generations will not affect its foundation.
Even though he has now been innocently targeted and his property has been confiscated and he has been exiled, it seems that he has hit rock bottom, but when he looks at those children who always have light in their eyes, he knows that the rise of the Hua family is only a matter of time. They are the spark of the Hua family, and when they grow up, the Hua family will also rise. What's more, there is Hua Zhi, the person who stabilizes the world.
Shaoyao leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Brother... Brother Yan, did you eavesdrop?"
"I listened openly."
"Hey, I listened anyway. What do you think? Huahua did a great job, didn't she?"
"You can understand it, so your level is really good."
Shaoyao didn't feel that she was being belittled at all, and nodded in approval, "That's right, I plan to move a small stool and sit outside the classroom to listen in a while."
"Why do we have to wait for a while?"
"After a while, I will be more familiar with the Hua family. Even if someone sees me, they won't think I'm sneaking around and doing something bad. But now, it's not possible. The Hua family's servants are on guard!"
This is the peony, which is actually very transparent. Gu Yanxi brushed off the powder on her clothes and said, "I asked someone to buy a house nearby. Do you want to go and meet me?"
"No, I want to live with Huahua."
“…” Gu Yanxi had no choice but to go back alone.
This day was the day the second and third girls were scheduled to attend class.
Hua Zhi came earlier than usual. The boys of the Hua family, led by Hua Bailin, perked up and punched harder.
Gu Yanxi asked them to continue practicing and came over to greet them, "Young lady."
Hua Zhi bowed slightly and said, "My sister is coming to the front yard today. Please keep away from her, Mr. Lu."
Gu Yanxi immediately understood what she meant, and said, "I will leave when the time is up."
"It's troublesome."
"You don't need to do this, big girl."
Gu Yanxi finished class a little early and left through the corner door without staying for long.
After receiving the report, Hua Zhi had a better impression of him. She liked people who could understand what she said and had a sense of propriety. It was a pity that she could not use this person for her own benefit.
"Where's Cao Cao?"
"Go and pester Fudong, she wants to eat fried fish." Baoxia covered her mouth and laughed. When they first met, she didn't say much. She kept things simple and looked like a stranger who didn't want to be approached. Only after getting to know her did he realize that she was such a simple and easy-to-please person. She had been saying nice things to her for a whole morning just to get a portion of fried fish.
Hua Zhi was not surprised at all. With such a supportive foodie around, Fudong's cooking skills seemed to be able to improve further.
"Don't let her leave the yard before the second and third sisters leave."
"Yes, I remember it."
"Where has Yingchun been?"
"The owner of the porcelain pot supply workshop came to settle the bill, and she and Nian Qiu went."
Hua Zhi did not ask any more questions. Cao Cao once said that her maid was well-educated, so she dared to accept the compliment. There were not many maids who could compare with hers in the whole capital. Of course, this was also because she indulged and trusted her, so she did not need to arrange any trivial matters, as they could be handled properly.
Liu Xiang walked in with small steps to report, "Miss, the second and third girls are here."
Suddenly, several maids in the room straightened their backs, and their postures were as perfect as they could be. Hua Zhi found it funny, but she didn't say anything, and let them save face for her in this way.
The Hua family has always given girls single characters and boys double characters. There is no particular rule about this. The elders all do this and the rest follow suit.
The second daughter of the Hua family, Hua Xin, is from the second branch. Although she is comparable to the third daughter, Hua Ling, in terms of age, appearance and talent, she has always been suppressed by Hua Ling because her father was born out of wedlock. This can be seen from the order in which the two came in.
No matter how fast she walked, Hua Ling was always half a step faster than her and had the upper hand.
"Eldest sister."
This was a very unanimous voice. Hua Zhi smiled and responded, then stood up and said, "The class time is almost up, you guys go first. You don't have to follow the class schedule today, you guys can arrange who goes first, and just focus on what you are good at."
The two looked at each other, their hearts trembling with excitement.
They had never had such delusion before, but when they knew that their eldest sister had become a female teacher, it was like a fire was lit in their hearts. If the eldest sister who had no talent could become a teacher, wouldn't they who were famous for their talent be more qualified
Before they could think of a way to impress their grandmother, they unexpectedly gave them the opportunity, and they gladly accepted it!
Seeing the two people leaving with high morale, Hua Zhi sighed, "It's great to be young."
“…” The maids looked at each other in bewilderment. Their young lady seemed to be less than sixteen years old. Was she not young
