Webster revealed his identity, and naturally no one dared to say any disrespectful words. However, because of this incident, he lost all interest in visiting the lake. Zhuang Jing was the most aggrieved and complained all the way back from Taiye Pond.
Wei Shi smiled and said: "It's my fault that I have made my uncle and sister-in-law worried. It's just that this time I came to Beijing, I didn't come alone, but I was entrusted by your second master's colleagues to take care of his daughter. , since I am entrusted to others, I naturally have to take care of it properly. If anything goes wrong, I will just let it go. I am afraid that your second master’s face will be completely lost in front of his colleagues. Therefore, I am more cautious and want to wait. The arrangements have been made here, and I am coming over to the house to meet my uncle and sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, my uncle and sister-in-law have no intention of looking for them first. So that’s fine, I will ask the housekeeper to go back and tell the uncle and sister-in-law that I have two more people here. I'm going to be busy today, and when I'm done with it, I'll naturally come over to meet you."
Hua Zhuo wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Shi, saying: "Today I have revealed my identity. I am afraid that within two days, the banker will get the news. When they know that I live with you, your arrival in Beijing will be announced." I can’t hide it anymore, you’d better make preparations for Rongchang Hall.”
Hua Huan didn't know the reason, but he could guess that most of the tribute tea belonged to the banker. Rongan Hall was far away from the capital, and no one was walking around in front of the emperor, so there was no chance of getting tribute from the palace. But he couldn't figure out why the second wife of the Zhuang family protected Hua Zhuo like this and fell into the muddy water between Rongchang Hall and Rong'an Hall. This couldn't be explained by saying that she cared for her daughter out of consideration for her colleagues.
"Second cousin, don't listen to her nonsense." Hua Zhuo had no choice but to smile apologetically at Hua Huan.
"It's the old man's fault. He shouldn't have borrowed such a conspicuous boat and frightened Miss, Mrs. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang."
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, and was about to say a few nice words to coax her, when his servants reported that the second young master of the family came to the door.
Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
"It's the old man's fault. He shouldn't have borrowed such a conspicuous boat and frightened Miss, Mrs. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang."
Hua Huan glanced at her, leaned back in the chair, and said, "This is really embarrassing for me. The eighth sister has her own ideas. As a brother who is separated by one layer, I don't dare to give you any ideas. If it's evil, Forget it about my sister, I’m afraid that I’ll offend the people around my sister, and the next time I come to visit, I won’t even be able to have tea.”
Shopkeeper Fang Da came after hearing the news and quickly apologized to Wei Shi and Zhuang Jing. He originally wanted to show off the magnificence of Rongantang in front of the people in the banker, and of course, he also wanted to show off his ability to do things in front of Hua Zhuo, so he specially lent him this luxurious painting boat that was famous throughout the capital. I know that Mr. Zhao is a miser. If they hadn't known each other and wanted to borrow this boat, there would be no way. Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances almost caused trouble for the young lady, and even caused embarrassment in front of the dealer's wife and the young lady.
"I understand, I understand. Eighth sister doesn't need to explain to me, as long as you think this reason can be justified in front of the ancestors." Hua Huan had a smirk on his delicate face, obviously seeing Hua Zhuo's situation very clearly.
Obviously, Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were very dissatisfied with the fact that Weishi arrived in Beijing but did not notify the Vice Minister's Palace, so they sent the housekeeper to question him.
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
"That's all, it's not a big deal. Shopkeeper Fang Da is also doing his best. It's just that we went out today and didn't look at the imperial calendar." Webster waved his hand and did not pursue it.
Although Hua Zhuo didn't say it explicitly for Wei's dedicated care, she was very grateful in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she would cook in person.
Rongchangtang couldn't hide it for a few days anyway. In fact, she didn't plan to hide it for how long. She just thought of waiting for the birthday gift to come before she came. But this accident happened now. If Rongchangtang was given a chance, she would have time to accompany the second wife of the banker to visit the lake. , but the impression of not going to meet her elders, especially when all the direct branches and Pang clans gathered in Rongchang Hall, then her already not good situation became even more bad.
"It's just... I'm afraid my ancestors are not as easy to talk to as I am."
Hua Huan said in astonishment: "Then if I come here today to ask questions, wouldn't I not even be able to have tea?"
Hua Zhuo just smiled and said, "It's better to return this boat. Although it looks good, it's not ours after all. I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to live in Beijing for long, so I thought of borrowing the boat to cruise the lake. If I had known it would be such a trouble, I might as well prepare a boat at home. Shopkeeper Fang Da, I think prices here in Beijing are probably a bit more expensive than elsewhere. I wonder if I should buy a boat of a suitable size. Oh, it doesn’t have to be as luxurious as this boat, just Just be more comfortable, how much money will it cost?"
Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
Wei Shi immediately stood up and hid behind the screen, and said to Hua Zhuo: "You Hua family members, you can entertain yourself. It's not convenient for me to interfere too much, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm here to watch. If he goes too far, , naturally I will deal with him."
Taking a sip of tea, Hua Huan smiled meaningfully. Even though he didn't know the inside story, he still found it incredible that Rong'antang could invite the second wife of the banker to serve as a talisman.
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
"It's just... I'm afraid my ancestors are not as easy to talk to as I am."
Hua Huan didn't know the reason, but he could guess that most of the tribute tea belonged to the banker. Rongan Hall was far away from the capital, and no one was walking around in front of the emperor, so there was no chance of getting tribute from the palace. But he couldn't figure out why the second wife of the Zhuang family protected Hua Zhuo like this and fell into the muddy water between Rongchang Hall and Rong'an Hall. This couldn't be explained by saying that she cared for her daughter out of consideration for her colleagues.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I know what's going on."
Wei Shi smiled when he heard this, knowing that Hua Zhuo didn't want to lose face in front of her. Without waiting for Shopkeeper Fang's reply, he said: "What are you doing with this money? Could it be that you bought a boat specially and only used it once, and then... It won't rot in the dock. I know you, Rongantang, don't need the money, but you don't have to throw it into the water. It's better to be more comfortable in front of me, and throw away the ones that are on the surface as soon as possible. "
Hua Zhuo nodded. In fact, the moment she saw Hua Huan, she knew she couldn't hide it. After all, the boat was too conspicuous. Even if Wei didn't reveal his identity at the time, when Hua Huan went to Zhao's house to inquire, he would know that it was Whoever borrowed this boat could not be concealed. Instead, after Weishi revealed his identity, he greeted his ancestors. This was also a warning to Rongchang Hall in advance, indicating that Weishi would come to visit, but his secret intention was It was to escort Hua Zhuo. Naturally, Webster would not visit alone. He would definitely accompany Hua Zhuo.
The first person to come was a housekeeper from the banker. After meeting with Webster, he said: "I heard that a second lady from the banker came to Beijing. My husband and wife didn't believe it at first. They said that the second lady came to Beijing. How could it not be justified? .”
Hua Zhuo nodded. In fact, the moment she saw Hua Huan, she knew she couldn't hide it. After all, the boat was too conspicuous. Even if Wei didn't reveal his identity at the time, when Hua Huan went to Zhao's house to inquire, he would know that it was Whoever borrowed this boat could not be concealed.

He would definitely accompany Hua Zhuo.
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, and was about to say a few nice words to coax her, when his servants reported that the second young master of the family came to the door.
"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
"Second cousin has a lot of people, so why bother with a girl." Hua Zhuo smiled and put tea into his teacup with his own hands, "Don't you know how I treat your second cousin? Could it be that it's just because I'm not? We are brothers and sisters from the first cousin, so my second cousin doesn’t think of me as my sister?”
Shopkeeper Fang Da came after hearing the news and quickly apologized to Wei Shi and Zhuang Jing. He originally wanted to show off the magnificence of Rongantang in front of the people in the banker, and of course, he also wanted to show off his ability to do things in front of Hua Zhuo, so he specially lent him this luxurious painting boat that was famous throughout the capital. I know that Mr. Zhao is a miser. If they hadn't known each other and wanted to borrow this boat, there would be no way. Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances almost caused trouble for the young lady, and even caused embarrassment in front of the dealer's wife and the young lady.
Hua Zhuo then came down along the pole and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is right. Today I will cook myself and make a table of delicious dishes to scare my mother-in-law and sister Jing'er."
Hua Huan glanced at her, leaned back in the chair, and said, "This is really embarrassing for me. The eighth sister has her own ideas. As a brother who is separated by one layer, I don't dare to give you any ideas. If it's evil, Forget it about my sister, I’m afraid that I’ll offend the people around my sister, and the next time I come to visit, I won’t even be able to have tea.”
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
Webster smiled and said, "So you can cook, so I want to try your cooking skills." After saying that, he glanced at Zhuang Jing, who was pouting loudly, "De Xian'er, you can also teach your sister Jing'er, This girl is very lazy and very naughty. If you let her cook, she will burn down the whole kitchen."
Shopkeeper Fang Da came after hearing the news and quickly apologized to Wei Shi and Zhuang Jing.

Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances almost caused trouble for the young lady, and even caused embarrassment in front of the dealer's wife and the young lady.
"Mother... How could you say that about your own daughter..."
Hua Zhuo nodded. In fact, the moment she saw Hua Huan, she knew she couldn't hide it. After all, the boat was too conspicuous. Even if Wei didn't reveal his identity at the time, when Hua Huan went to Zhao's house to inquire, he would know that it was Whoever borrowed this boat could not be concealed.

Hua Zhuo then came down along the pole and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is right. Today I will cook myself and make a table of delicious dishes to scare my mother-in-law and sister Jing'er."
"I must have said it wrong again. I have taught you this so many times, but now you can't even cook a pot of porridge. Let's see which family is willing to ask you to be my wife in the future."
Webster revealed his identity, and naturally no one dared to say any disrespectful words. However, because of this incident, he lost all interest in visiting the lake. Zhuang Jing was the most aggrieved and complained all the way back from Taiye Pond.
"Mother... How could you say that about your own daughter..."
When Hua Zhuo heard the news, he came over again to apologize, saying, "It's all my fault that brought down my uncle."
He reminded lightly that although the Zhuang family had always had a good relationship with Rongchang Hall, it was not easy to interfere in the internal affairs of the Hua family. The amulet of Mrs. Zhuang Er looked good, but it might not be useful when used.
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, turned to Baxiu, who was standing behind him, and said, "I won't show the second young master tea yet."
Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
Zhuang Jing was already depressed because she didn't swim into the lake, but when Webster said this, she became even more depressed.
"Stop, stop, stop, you are such a mouthful, I was just joking with you, but you want to accuse me of not being my sister... It's done, I blame myself, I have nothing to wonder about, I just pretended that I didn't see it yesterday That’s it, I’ll bring it to your door today so you can squeeze in. I mean, eighth sister, the weather in Beijing is no better than that in Huainan Prefecture. The weather in September gets cold very fast. You need to put on more clothes these days, otherwise you will catch a cold. Now, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are not sure how worried they are. By the way, I’m sorry for talking too much, but this tea is really good. But when it’s good, some people are jealous. From now on, the eighth sister should keep it for herself and don’t show it off again. "
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
Shopkeeper Fang Da came after hearing the news and quickly apologized to Wei Shi and Zhuang Jing.

Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances almost caused trouble for the young lady, and even caused embarrassment in front of the dealer's wife and the young lady.
Sure enough, their guess was very accurate, and the next day the dealer's people and Hua Huan came to the door one after another.
"I must have said it wrong again. I have taught you this so many times, but now you can't even cook a pot of porridge. Let's see which family is willing to ask you to be my wife in the future."
Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
After a while, Hua Huan walked into the living room. When he saw Hua Zhuo, he smiled and said, "It is indeed the eighth sister."
"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
"Second cousin, don't listen to her nonsense." Hua Zhuo had no choice but to smile apologetically at Hua Huan.
Zhuang Jing's face suddenly turned red, like a hibiscus flower reflecting the sunset.
Rongchangtang couldn't hide it for a few days anyway. In fact, she didn't plan to hide it for how long. She just thought of waiting for the birthday gift to come before she came. But this accident happened now. If Rongchangtang was given a chance, she would have time to accompany the second wife of the banker to visit the lake. , but the impression of not going to meet her elders, especially when all the direct branches and Pang clans gathered in Rongchang Hall, then her already not good situation became even more bad.
Where did Rong'an Hall get the tribute tea? This tea was brought here by Webster. It is said that it was the first batch of tribute tea that the palace got after the new tea was picked this year. Some were given to Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Zhuang gave some more. My brother, but the county governor was not a good tea drinker. Finally, the tea fell into the hands of Wei Shi. Thinking that her son liked tea, she brought the tea to Beijing because she had decided to have it. If you want Hua Zhuo to be your daughter-in-law, you have to let her know your son's preferences and give some to Hua Zhuo.
Qiqiao then responded: "The second young master is indeed very knowledgeable. This is the tribute tea from the palace."
"It's the old man's fault. He shouldn't have borrowed such a conspicuous boat and frightened Miss, Mrs. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang."
"Mother... How could you say that about your own daughter..."
Obviously, Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were very dissatisfied with the fact that Weishi arrived in Beijing but did not notify the Vice Minister's Palace, so they sent the housekeeper to question him.
"Mom... I won't pay attention to you anymore... Hairpin Hua, come back to your room with me."
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, and was about to say a few nice words to coax her, when his servants reported that the second young master of the family came to the door.
Hua Zhuo then came down along the pole and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is right. Today I will cook myself and make a table of delicious dishes to scare my mother-in-law and sister Jing'er."
Zhuang Jing's face suddenly turned red, like a hibiscus flower reflecting the sunset.

"Auntie, I'm going back to my room too."
"I must have said it wrong again. I have taught you this so many times, but now you can't even cook a pot of porridge. Let's see which family is willing to ask you to be my wife in the future."
Baxiu suddenly pouted, being petty, Qiqiao was wrong, the second young master didn't look like a good person.
"Mother... How could you say that about your own daughter..."
"Stop, stop, stop, you are such a mouthful, I was just joking with you, but you want to accuse me of not being my sister... It's done, I blame myself, I have nothing to wonder about, I just pretended that I didn't see it yesterday That’s it, I’ll bring it to your door today so you can squeeze in.

The words were well-founded, and they also mocked the banker's couple for guarding her like a thief, and then sent the housekeeper away.
Hua Zhuo wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Shi, saying: "Today I have revealed my identity. I am afraid that within two days, the banker will get the news. When they know that I live with you, your arrival in Beijing will be announced." I can’t hide it anymore, you’d better make preparations for Rongchang Hall.”

"That's all, it's not a big deal. Shopkeeper Fang Da is also doing his best. It's just that we went out today and didn't look at the imperial calendar." Webster waved his hand and did not pursue it.
Wei Shi smiled and said: "It's my fault that I have made my uncle and sister-in-law worried. It's just that this time I came to Beijing, I didn't come alone, but I was entrusted by your second master's colleagues to take care of his daughter. , since I am entrusted to others, I naturally have to take care of it properly.

So that’s fine, I will ask the housekeeper to go back and tell the uncle and sister-in-law that I have two more people here. I'm going to be busy today, and when I'm done with it, I'll naturally come over to meet you."
Although Hua Zhuo didn't say it explicitly for Wei's dedicated care, she was very grateful in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she would cook in person.
Baxiu smiled and said: "Qiqiao has gone. She said that the second young master is a good man and wants to make the best tea."
"I understand, I understand. Eighth sister doesn't need to explain to me, as long as you think this reason can be justified in front of the ancestors." Hua Huan had a smirk on his delicate face, obviously seeing Hua Zhuo's situation very clearly.

The first person to come was a housekeeper from the banker. After meeting with Webster, he said: "I heard that a second lady from the banker came to Beijing. My husband and wife didn't believe it at first. They said that the second lady came to Beijing. How could it not be justified? .”
Zhuang Jing's face suddenly turned red, like a hibiscus flower reflecting the sunset.
Baxiu suddenly pouted, being petty, Qiqiao was wrong, the second young master didn't look like a good person.
Sure enough, their guess was very accurate, and the next day the dealer's people and Hua Huan came to the door one after another.
"That's all, it's not a big deal. Shopkeeper Fang Da is also doing his best. It's just that we went out today and didn't look at the imperial calendar." Webster waved his hand and did not pursue it.
Shopkeeper Fang Da came after hearing the news and quickly apologized to Wei Shi and Zhuang Jing. He originally wanted to show off the magnificence of Rongantang in front of the people in the banker, and of course, he also wanted to show off his ability to do things in front of Hua Zhuo, so he specially lent him this luxurious painting boat that was famous throughout the capital. I know that Mr. Zhao is a miser. If they hadn't known each other and wanted to borrow this boat, there would be no way. Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances almost caused trouble for the young lady, and even caused embarrassment in front of the dealer's wife and the young lady.

Hua Huan said in astonishment: "Then if I come here today to ask questions, wouldn't I not even be able to have tea?"
Wei Shi immediately stood up and hid behind the screen, and said to Hua Zhuo: "You Hua family members, you can entertain yourself. It's not convenient for me to interfere too much, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm here to watch. If he goes too far, , naturally I will deal with him."
Sure enough, their guess was very accurate, and the next day the dealer's people and Hua Huan came to the door one after another.
Obviously, Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were very dissatisfied with the fact that Weishi arrived in Beijing but did not notify the Vice Minister's Palace, so they sent the housekeeper to question him.
Hua Zhuo just smiled and said, "It's better to return this boat. Although it looks good, it's not ours after all. I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to live in Beijing for long, so I thought of borrowing the boat to cruise the lake. If I had known it would be such a trouble, I might as well prepare a boat at home. Shopkeeper Fang Da, I think prices here in Beijing are probably a bit more expensive than elsewhere. I wonder if I should buy a boat of a suitable size. Oh, it doesn’t have to be as luxurious as this boat, just Just be more comfortable, how much money will it cost?"
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
The first person to come was a housekeeper from the banker. After meeting with Webster, he said: "I heard that a second lady from the banker came to Beijing. My husband and wife didn't believe it at first. They said that the second lady came to Beijing. How could it not be justified? .”
"Eighth sister is good at what she does."

"Mother... How could you say that about your own daughter..."
Wei Shi smiled and said: "It's my fault that I have made my uncle and sister-in-law worried. It's just that this time I came to Beijing, I didn't come alone, but I was entrusted by your second master's colleagues to take care of his daughter. , since I am entrusted to others, I naturally have to take care of it properly. If anything goes wrong, I will just let it go. I am afraid that your second master’s face will be completely lost in front of his colleagues. Therefore, I am more cautious and want to wait. The arrangements have been made here, and I am coming over to the house to meet my uncle and sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, my uncle and sister-in-law have no intention of looking for them first. So that’s fine, I will ask the housekeeper to go back and tell the uncle and sister-in-law that I have two more people here. I'm going to be busy today, and when I'm done with it, I'll naturally come over to meet you."
The words were well-founded, and they also mocked the banker's couple for guarding her like a thief, and then sent the housekeeper away.
Webster smiled and said, "So you can cook, so I want to try your cooking skills." After saying that, he glanced at Zhuang Jing, who was pouting loudly, "De Xian'er, you can also teach your sister Jing'er, This girl is very lazy and very naughty. If you let her cook, she will burn down the whole kitchen."
Hua Huan said a series of words, then drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp, smiled and shook his sleeves, and walked away without saying hello to Hua Zhuo.
Hua Zhuo naturally understood that Wei Shi should not interfere too much in the affairs between her and Rongchang Tang. It was natural to avoid him at this time, and she would not come forward unless absolutely necessary.
Taking a sip of tea, Hua Huan smiled meaningfully. Even though he didn't know the inside story, he still found it incredible that Rong'antang could invite the second wife of the banker to serve as a talisman.
Baxiu smiled and said: "Qiqiao has gone. She said that the second young master is a good man and wants to make the best tea."
The words were well-founded, and they also mocked the banker's couple for guarding her like a thief, and then sent the housekeeper away.

Baxiu smiled and said: "Qiqiao has gone. She said that the second young master is a good man and wants to make the best tea."
Where did Rong'an Hall get the tribute tea? This tea was brought here by Webster. It is said that it was the first batch of tribute tea that the palace got after the new tea was picked this year. Some were given to Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Zhuang gave some more. My brother, but the county governor was not a good tea drinker. Finally, the tea fell into the hands of Wei Shi. Thinking that her son liked tea, she brought the tea to Beijing because she had decided to have it. If you want Hua Zhuo to be your daughter-in-law, you have to let her know your son's preferences and give some to Hua Zhuo.
Hua Zhuo stood up, bowed and said: "Second cousin, you are well. I have just arrived in the capital, and there are still some trivial matters that I have not yet dealt with. I wanted to wait until everything is settled before paying my respects to the elders. I don't want to trouble the second cousin." Brother came to the door first."
When Hua Zhuo heard the news, he came over again to apologize, saying, "It's all my fault that brought down my uncle."
Hua Huan said a series of words, then drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp, smiled and shook his sleeves, and walked away without saying hello to Hua Zhuo.
"Auntie, I'm going back to my room too."
The first person to come was a housekeeper from the banker. After meeting with Webster, he said: "I heard that a second lady from the banker came to Beijing. My husband and wife didn't believe it at first. They said that the second lady came to Beijing. How could it not be justified? .”

If you let her cook, she will burn down the whole kitchen."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I know what's going on."
Hua Huan didn't know the reason, but he could guess that most of the tribute tea belonged to the banker. Rongan Hall was far away from the capital, and no one was walking around in front of the emperor, so there was no chance of getting tribute from the palace. But he couldn't figure out why the second wife of the Zhuang family protected Hua Zhuo like this and fell into the muddy water between Rongchang Hall and Rong'an Hall. This couldn't be explained by saying that she cared for her daughter out of consideration for her colleagues.

"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
When Hua Zhuo heard the news, he came over again to apologize, saying, "It's all my fault that brought down my uncle."
Obviously, Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang were very dissatisfied with the fact that Weishi arrived in Beijing but did not notify the Vice Minister's Palace, so they sent the housekeeper to question him.
"Mom... I won't pay attention to you anymore... Hairpin Hua, come back to your room with me."
"Mom... I won't pay attention to you anymore... Hairpin Hua, come back to your room with me."
Webster smiled and said, "So you can cook, so I want to try your cooking skills." After saying that, he glanced at Zhuang Jing, who was pouting loudly, "De Xian'er, you can also teach your sister Jing'er, This girl is very lazy and very naughty. If you let her cook, she will burn down the whole kitchen."
Rongchangtang couldn't hide it for a few days anyway. In fact, she didn't plan to hide it for how long. She just thought of waiting for the birthday gift to come before she came. But this accident happened now. If Rongchangtang was given a chance, she would have time to accompany the second wife of the banker to visit the lake. , but the impression of not going to meet her elders, especially when all the direct branches and Pang clans gathered in Rongchang Hall, then her already not good situation became even more bad.
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
Wei Shi immediately stood up and hid behind the screen, and said to Hua Zhuo: "You Hua family members, you can entertain yourself. It's not convenient for me to interfere too much, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm here to watch. If he goes too far, , naturally I will deal with him."
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, and was about to say a few nice words to coax her, when his servants reported that the second young master of the family came to the door.
"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
Qiqiao then responded: "The second young master is indeed very knowledgeable. This is the tribute tea from the palace."
Wei Shi immediately stood up and hid behind the screen, and said to Hua Zhuo: "You Hua family members, you can entertain yourself. It's not convenient for me to interfere too much, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm here to watch. If he goes too far, , naturally I will deal with him."
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, turned to Baxiu, who was standing behind him, and said, "I won't show the second young master tea yet."
Qiqiao then responded: "The second young master is indeed very knowledgeable. This is the tribute tea from the palace."
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
Hua Huan said in astonishment: "Then if I come here today to ask questions, wouldn't I not even be able to have tea?"
Hua Zhuo nodded. In fact, the moment she saw Hua Huan, she knew she couldn't hide it. After all, the boat was too conspicuous. Even if Wei didn't reveal his identity at the time, when Hua Huan went to Zhao's house to inquire, he would know that it was Whoever borrowed this boat could not be concealed. Instead, after Weishi revealed his identity, he greeted his ancestors. This was also a warning to Rongchang Hall in advance, indicating that Weishi would come to visit, but his secret intention was It was to escort Hua Zhuo. Naturally, Webster would not visit alone. He would definitely accompany Hua Zhuo.
Wei Shi immediately stood up and hid behind the screen, and said to Hua Zhuo: "You Hua family members, you can entertain yourself. It's not convenient for me to interfere too much, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm here to watch. If he goes too far, , naturally I will deal with him."
When Hua Zhuo heard the news, he came over again to apologize, saying, "It's all my fault that brought down my uncle."
Zhuang Jing's face suddenly turned red, like a hibiscus flower reflecting the sunset.
Hua Zhuo naturally understood that Wei Shi should not interfere too much in the affairs between her and Rongchang Tang. It was natural to avoid him at this time, and she would not come forward unless absolutely necessary.
"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
"Auntie, I'm going back to my room too."
Rongchangtang couldn't hide it for a few days anyway. In fact, she didn't plan to hide it for how long. She just thought of waiting for the birthday gift to come before she came. But this accident happened now. If Rongchangtang was given a chance, she would have time to accompany the second wife of the banker to visit the lake. , but the impression of not going to meet her elders, especially when all the direct branches and Pang clans gathered in Rongchang Hall, then her already not good situation became even more bad.
Wei Shi smiled when he heard this, knowing that Hua Zhuo didn't want to lose face in front of her. Without waiting for Shopkeeper Fang's reply, he said: "What are you doing with this money? Could it be that you bought a boat specially and only used it once, and then... It won't rot in the dock. I know you, Rongantang, don't need the money, but you don't have to throw it into the water. It's better to be more comfortable in front of me, and throw away the ones that are on the surface as soon as possible. "
After a while, Hua Huan walked into the living room. When he saw Hua Zhuo, he smiled and said, "It is indeed the eighth sister."
Webster revealed his identity, and naturally no one dared to say any disrespectful words. However, because of this incident, he lost all interest in visiting the lake. Zhuang Jing was the most aggrieved and complained all the way back from Taiye Pond.
"Mom... I won't pay attention to you anymore... Hairpin Hua, come back to your room with me."
The words were well-founded, and they also mocked the banker's couple for guarding her like a thief, and then sent the housekeeper away.

"I understand, I understand. Eighth sister doesn't need to explain to me, as long as you think this reason can be justified in front of the ancestors." Hua Huan had a smirk on his delicate face, obviously seeing Hua Zhuo's situation very clearly.

"Second cousin, don't listen to her nonsense." Hua Zhuo had no choice but to smile apologetically at Hua Huan.
"That's all, it's not a big deal. Shopkeeper Fang Da is also doing his best. It's just that we went out today and didn't look at the imperial calendar." Webster waved his hand and did not pursue it.
Wei Shi smiled when he heard this, knowing that Hua Zhuo didn't want to lose face in front of her. Without waiting for Shopkeeper Fang's reply, he said: "What are you doing with this money?

Although Hua Zhuo didn't say it explicitly for Wei's dedicated care, she was very grateful in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she would cook in person.
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, turned to Baxiu, who was standing behind him, and said, "I won't show the second young master tea yet."
Wei Shi smiled and said: "It's my fault that I have made my uncle and sister-in-law worried.

Shopkeeper Fang Da came after hearing the news and quickly apologized to Wei Shi and Zhuang Jing. He originally wanted to show off the magnificence of Rongantang in front of the people in the banker, and of course, he also wanted to show off his ability to do things in front of Hua Zhuo, so he specially lent him this luxurious painting boat that was famous throughout the capital. I know that Mr. Zhao is a miser. If they hadn't known each other and wanted to borrow this boat, there would be no way. Unexpectedly, a strange combination of circumstances almost caused trouble for the young lady, and even caused embarrassment in front of the dealer's wife and the young lady.
"Mother... How could you say that about your own daughter..."
Taking a sip of tea, Hua Huan smiled meaningfully. Even though he didn't know the inside story, he still found it incredible that Rong'antang could invite the second wife of the banker to serve as a talisman.
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, and was about to say a few nice words to coax her, when his servants reported that the second young master of the family came to the door.

Hua Huan said in astonishment: "Then if I come here today to ask questions, wouldn't I not even be able to have tea?"
"I must have said it wrong again. I have taught you this so many times, but now you can't even cook a pot of porridge. Let's see which family is willing to ask you to be my wife in the future."
"Eighth sister is good at what she does."
After a while, Hua Huan walked into the living room. When he saw Hua Zhuo, he smiled and said, "It is indeed the eighth sister."

Taking a sip of tea, Hua Huan smiled meaningfully. Even though he didn't know the inside story, he still found it incredible that Rong'antang could invite the second wife of the banker to serve as a talisman.
Hua Huan glanced at her, leaned back in the chair, and said, "This is really embarrassing for me. The eighth sister has her own ideas. As a brother who is separated by one layer, I don't dare to give you any ideas. If it's evil, Forget it about my sister, I’m afraid that I’ll offend the people around my sister, and the next time I come to visit, I won’t even be able to have tea.”
Hua Zhuo then came down along the pole and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is right. Today I will cook myself and make a table of delicious dishes to scare my mother-in-law and sister Jing'er."
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"

Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
Qiqiao then responded: "The second young master is indeed very knowledgeable. This is the tribute tea from the palace."
"It's the old man's fault. He shouldn't have borrowed such a conspicuous boat and frightened Miss, Mrs. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang."
Webster smiled and said, "So you can cook, so I want to try your cooking skills." After saying that, he glanced at Zhuang Jing, who was pouting loudly, "De Xian'er, you can also teach your sister Jing'er, This girl is very lazy and very naughty. If you let her cook, she will burn down the whole kitchen."
"I understand, I understand. Eighth sister doesn't need to explain to me, as long as you think this reason can be justified in front of the ancestors." Hua Huan had a smirk on his delicate face, obviously seeing Hua Zhuo's situation very clearly.

This couldn't be explained by saying that she cared for her daughter out of consideration for her colleagues.
Hua Zhuo wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Shi, saying: "Today I have revealed my identity. I am afraid that within two days, the banker will get the news. When they know that I live with you, your arrival in Beijing will be announced." I can’t hide it anymore, you’d better make preparations for Rongchang Hall.”

"Auntie, I'm going back to my room too."

The first person to come was a housekeeper from the banker. After meeting with Webster, he said: "I heard that a second lady from the banker came to Beijing. My husband and wife didn't believe it at first. They said that the second lady came to Beijing. How could it not be justified? .”
Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
Wei Shi immediately stood up and hid behind the screen, and said to Hua Zhuo: "You Hua family members, you can entertain yourself. It's not convenient for me to interfere too much, but you don't have to be afraid. I'm here to watch. If he goes too far, , naturally I will deal with him."
Taking a sip of tea, Hua Huan smiled meaningfully. Even though he didn't know the inside story, he still found it incredible that Rong'antang could invite the second wife of the banker to serve as a talisman.
"I understand, I understand. Eighth sister doesn't need to explain to me, as long as you think this reason can be justified in front of the ancestors." Hua Huan had a smirk on his delicate face, obviously seeing Hua Zhuo's situation very clearly.
"It's the old man's fault. He shouldn't have borrowed such a conspicuous boat and frightened Miss, Mrs. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang."
Rongchangtang couldn't hide it for a few days anyway. In fact, she didn't plan to hide it for how long. She just thought of waiting for the birthday gift to come before she came. But this accident happened now. If Rongchangtang was given a chance, she would have time to accompany the second wife of the banker to visit the lake. , but the impression of not going to meet her elders, especially when all the direct branches and Pang clans gathered in Rongchang Hall, then her already not good situation became even more bad.
Hua Huan said a series of words, then drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp, smiled and shook his sleeves, and walked away without saying hello to Hua Zhuo.
"Auntie, I'm going back to my room too."
Wei Shi smiled when he heard this, knowing that Hua Zhuo didn't want to lose face in front of her. Without waiting for Shopkeeper Fang's reply, he said: "What are you doing with this money? Could it be that you bought a boat specially and only used it once, and then... It won't rot in the dock. I know you, Rongantang, don't need the money, but you don't have to throw it into the water. It's better to be more comfortable in front of me, and throw away the ones that are on the surface as soon as possible. "
Hua Zhuo wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Shi, saying: "Today I have revealed my identity. I am afraid that within two days, the banker will get the news. When they know that I live with you, your arrival in Beijing will be announced." I can’t hide it anymore, you’d better make preparations for Rongchang Hall.”
"It's just... I'm afraid my ancestors are not as easy to talk to as I am."
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but laugh, and was about to say a few nice words to coax her, when his servants reported that the second young master of the family came to the door.
"Auntie, I'm going back to my room too."
Hua Zhuo just smiled and said, "It's better to return this boat. Although it looks good, it's not ours after all. I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to live in Beijing for long, so I thought of borrowing the boat to cruise the lake. If I had known it would be such a trouble, I might as well prepare a boat at home. Shopkeeper Fang Da, I think prices here in Beijing are probably a bit more expensive than elsewhere. I wonder if I should buy a boat of a suitable size. Oh, it doesn’t have to be as luxurious as this boat, just Just be more comfortable, how much money will it cost?"
Wei Shi smiled and said: "It's my fault that I have made my uncle and sister-in-law worried. It's just that this time I came to Beijing, I didn't come alone, but I was entrusted by your second master's colleagues to take care of his daughter. , since I am entrusted to others, I naturally have to take care of it properly. If anything goes wrong, I will just let it go. I am afraid that your second master’s face will be completely lost in front of his colleagues. Therefore, I am more cautious and want to wait. The arrangements have been made here, and I am coming over to the house to meet my uncle and sister-in-law. Unexpectedly, my uncle and sister-in-law have no intention of looking for them first. So that’s fine, I will ask the housekeeper to go back and tell the uncle and sister-in-law that I have two more people here. I'm going to be busy today, and when I'm done with it, I'll naturally come over to meet you."
He reminded lightly that although the Zhuang family had always had a good relationship with Rongchang Hall, it was not easy to interfere in the internal affairs of the Hua family. The amulet of Mrs. Zhuang Er looked good, but it might not be useful when used.

"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
Baxiu suddenly pouted, being petty, Qiqiao was wrong, the second young master didn't look like a good person.

When Hua Zhuo heard the news, he came over again to apologize, saying, "It's all my fault that brought down my uncle."
The words were well-founded, and they also mocked the banker's couple for guarding her like a thief, and then sent the housekeeper away.

Sure enough, their guess was very accurate, and the next day the dealer's people and Hua Huan came to the door one after another.

Hua Huan said in astonishment: "Then if I come here today to ask questions, wouldn't I not even be able to have tea?"

Hua Huan said a series of words, then drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp, smiled and shook his sleeves, and walked away without saying hello to Hua Zhuo.
Hua Huan glanced at her, leaned back in the chair, and said, "This is really embarrassing for me. The eighth sister has her own ideas. As a brother who is separated by one layer, I don't dare to give you any ideas. If it's evil, Forget it about my sister, I’m afraid that I’ll offend the people around my sister, and the next time I come to visit, I won’t even be able to have tea.”
"Stop, stop, stop, you are such a mouthful, I was just joking with you, but you want to accuse me of not being my sister... It's done, I blame myself, I have nothing to wonder about, I just pretended that I didn't see it yesterday That’s it, I’ll bring it to your door today so you can squeeze in. I mean, eighth sister, the weather in Beijing is no better than that in Huainan Prefecture. The weather in September gets cold very fast. You need to put on more clothes these days, otherwise you will catch a cold. Now, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are not sure how worried they are. By the way, I’m sorry for talking too much, but this tea is really good. But when it’s good, some people are jealous. From now on, the eighth sister should keep it for herself and don’t show it off again. "

"No matter how polite you are, don't blame me for not caring about you." Webster made a serious face.
Baxiu suddenly pouted, being petty, Qiqiao was wrong, the second young master didn't look like a good person.
"Second cousin, don't listen to her nonsense." Hua Zhuo had no choice but to smile apologetically at Hua Huan.
He reminded lightly that although the Zhuang family had always had a good relationship with Rongchang Hall, it was not easy to interfere in the internal affairs of the Hua family. The amulet of Mrs. Zhuang Er looked good, but it might not be useful when used.
Hua Zhuo quickly put on a helpless expression and begged softly: "Please help me, second cousin."
The words were well-founded, and they also mocked the banker's couple for guarding her like a thief, and then sent the housekeeper away.
Hua Zhuo then came down along the pole and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is right. Today I will cook myself and make a table of delicious dishes to scare my mother-in-law and sister Jing'er."
Wei Shi smiled when he heard this, knowing that Hua Zhuo didn't want to lose face in front of her. Without waiting for Shopkeeper Fang's reply, he said: "What are you doing with this money?

It's better to be more comfortable in front of me, and throw away the ones that are on the surface as soon as possible. "
"Second cousin has a lot of people, so why bother with a girl." Hua Zhuo smiled and put tea into his teacup with his own hands, "Don't you know how I treat your second cousin? Could it be that it's just because I'm not? We are brothers and sisters from the first cousin, so my second cousin doesn’t think of me as my sister?”
Hua Zhuo wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Shi, saying: "Today I have revealed my identity. I am afraid that within two days, the banker will get the news. When they know that I live with you, your arrival in Beijing will be announced." I can’t hide it anymore, you’d better make preparations for Rongchang Hall.”

Sure enough, their guess was very accurate, and the next day the dealer's people and Hua Huan came to the door one after another.
Zhuang Jing was already depressed because she didn't swim into the lake, but when Webster said this, she became even more depressed.
Hua Huan waved his hand and didn't care. After a while, Qiqiao came in and served tea. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed an excellent tea. Why does it feel like tribute tea to me when I eat it?"
Hua Zhuo then came down along the pole and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is right. Today I will cook myself and make a table of delicious dishes to scare my mother-in-law and sister Jing'er."
Where did Rong'an Hall get the tribute tea? This tea was brought here by Webster. It is said that it was the first batch of tribute tea that the palace got after the new tea was picked this year. Some were given to Mr. Zhuang, and Mr. Zhuang gave some more. My brother, but the county governor was not a good tea drinker. Finally, the tea fell into the hands of Wei Shi. Thinking that her son liked tea, she brought the tea to Beijing because she had decided to have it. If you want Hua Zhuo to be your daughter-in-law, you have to let her know your son's preferences and give some to Hua Zhuo.
Hua Zhuo couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, turned to Baxiu, who was standing behind him, and said, "I won't show the second young master tea yet."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I know what's going on."
Sure enough, their guess was very accurate, and the next day the dealer's people and Hua Huan came to the door one after another.
Hua Huan said a series of words, then drank a cup of Chinese tea in one gulp, smiled and shook his sleeves, and walked away without saying hello to Hua Zhuo.

"It's the old man's fault. He shouldn't have borrowed such a conspicuous boat and frightened Miss, Mrs. Zhuang, and Miss Zhuang."
