Hua Zhuo smiled at her and stepped forward to open the study door. He was not in a hurry to go in. He only poked his small head in and rolled his eyes in circles.
Hua Zhuo knew that it was impossible to untie his father's knot all at once. Staying in Huifang Garden for a few days was his father's biggest concession. However, his father avoided seeing members of his family. In this way, his family members It was impossible to pick her up. A silent refusal was much better in appearance than a direct refusal, and it would not worsen the relationship between the two families.
"Zhuo'er?"
Hua Zhuo's sigh finally alerted Hua Xu, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy. He put down his pen, straightened his face, and said a lesson: "Why are you running around before you get the pass?"
It is better to go and see my brother. Anyway, my brother's room is in the east wing of the West Cross Courtyard. When my mother meets Aunt Xi, she must be in the flower hall of the West Cross Courtyard. There are only a few steps in the middle. It couldn't be easier to find out what's going on.
Typical out of sight, out of mind.
"There are no guests here. My daughter is here to visit her father. Do we still need to send a message?" Hua Zhuo's two black and white eyes blinked, very cute. Her father's stern face only made her happy whenever she saw it.
"Miss, the master is in a bad mood right now."
This is Hua Xu's life creed, so every time he gets angry, he will close the door and practice calligraphy to calm down his mood. His father is very nurturing. This time he was so angry that he needed to practice calligraphy to calm down. He was obviously angry. Damn it, no wonder she would do such a dishonorable thing as driving Steward Ping out of the study. Steward Ping must have offered to take her to live with her family, which aroused her father's old and new grudges.
The wet nurse stretched out her hand and touched it, "Ouch" and said, "I peed." She quickly carried Hua Yan and went to change the diaper. Si Xi followed to help. Hua Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't make him cry.
"The body, hair, and skin are received by parents and dare not be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety. Establishing oneself and practicing morality, making a name for future generations, and showing off one's parents, is the end of filial piety. Filial piety for a husband begins with serving relatives, being loyal to the king, and finally establishing oneself..."
It turned out to be the "Book of Filial Piety". Hua Zhuo sighed softly. She vaguely understood her father's ambivalent mood. She established herself as a moral practitioner, became famous in future generations, and showed her parents. It started with serving relatives, being loyal to the king, and finally establishing herself. This is My father made a vow when he guarded the graves of his grandfather and grandmother for three years. However, his career has not gone smoothly over the years, and he was not promoted as a governor. Although there are many reasons for this, such as his father not being good at flattery. Shangguan, his political achievements are not obvious, etc., but the most important thing is definitely because of the bad relationship with the family, which makes his reputation of filial piety tarnished. In those days, the Holy Lord governed the country with filial piety, so every year in the official assessment, my father had to A moderate rating.
Outside the study, Jiu Hui had been standing guard at the door. Seeing Hua Zhuo coming, she quickly stepped forward to salute.
Hua Xu's pupils shrank and he glanced at Hua Zhuo in surprise. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "It's hard for you to think carefully. In that case, let your mother and Hua Ren entertain them."
Halfway through, Qiqiao came back.
Aunt Shuangcheng smiled and said: "I peed just after eating milk. The young master is afraid that he will be hungry again soon."
Knowing that Aunt Liu was going to report to her mother that her father lost his temper and drove away Manager Ping, Hua Zhuo didn't pay much attention. He just thought that after Jiuhui reported to his mother about his father's departure, he was afraid that his mother would have another headache.
Hua Zhuo stepped forward and teased Hua Yan. It didn't matter that the little baby actually started crying, which startled her. She felt guilty and wondered if she had teased her too much and made her brother cry.
This excuse was the best one she came up with after careful consideration. It not only covered up Hua Xu's rudeness in expelling people, but also pointed out that Hua Xu understood filial piety and respected his family very much. Otherwise, he would blame both families. Due to grudges, the people sent by Rong'an Hall couldn't even get through the gate. In this way, even if word spread that Manager Ping was kicked out of the study, no one could accuse his father of wrongdoing.
Be calm in every big event.
Hua Zhuo also wanted to go to Fang's place for a visit, but something went wrong. His mother was still entertaining Aunt Xi. When Jiu Hui passed on his father's words, he didn't know how his mother would react. As soon as he came, his father would leave. When my mother asks, what will she say
"Yes, dad did a good job of driving people away." Hua Zhuo nodded vigorously, "You are just a steward of our family. Dad, you are the head of Rong'an Hall, and you actually want dad to receive him. How can it be reasonable for the two of you to do so? If the housekeeper goes to entertain them, it means giving them Rongchang Hall face. Well, it’s for great-grandfather’s sake, otherwise they won’t even be allowed in through the gate.”
If you don't get a promotion, you will naturally be unable to revive Rongantang, honor your ancestors, make a name for future generations, and show off your parents, let alone the two greater vows of loyalty to the emperor and self-improvement. In his father's heart, he obviously felt more guilty for his grandfather and grandmother. In addition, he could not untie his knot with Rongchangtang, so he got confused, lost his temper, and kicked Guanshi Ping out of the study.
Father Hua Xu was standing in front of the book desk. Several books fell on the ground, obviously swept down when he was angry. A piece of rice paper was spread on them. Father lowered his head and was writing something on the paper.
Tiptoeing into the study room, Hua Zhuo carefully picked up all the books on the floor and put them on the bookshelf next to him. Because he was short, he moved a block to climb up. Hua Xu was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy and did not notice his daughter coming in. Hua Zhuo Zhuo put down the book and simply leaned over to see what his father was writing.
"Steward Ping asked the second housekeeper to take her to drink, while Grandma Liu went to Madam's place."
Si Xi quickly put Hua Yan into the nanny's arms, pulled the hem of her clothes, and stepped forward to salute.
After thinking for a while, he added: "My father is going to Huifang Garden to stay for a few days. I will leave all the family affairs to your mother, so there is no need to ask me again."
"It's best to be able to eat and sleep." Hua Zhuo responded with a smile, moved closer to Aunt Shuangcheng, and said: "I heard that there are guests at my mother's place, and if Auntie doesn't go to take care of them, how can she have the leisure to serve her brother here?" Sewing clothes?”
Hua Zhuo was not walking fast. She needed time to clear her thoughts. When she heard Ba Xiu's question, she couldn't help but smile and said: "After all, we are all from the same family. How can we have such deep grudges? What happened back then, we can't say right or wrong." Qing, but all the blame should be placed on our family, but we shouldn’t. We can only say that our family has to bear most of the responsibility, but things have already happened, and if we continue to worry about it, the two aunts will not come back alive. After all, our Rong'an Hall is no better than The scenery of those days is now a situation where the family has permanent property but the walls of the house are not high. Without the care of the family, I am afraid that disaster is just around the corner. Instead of resenting each other for the sake of the relatives who have died, it is better to take advantage of the situation to protect the relatives who are still alive. Ning, Rongchang Hall is far away in the capital, not under the same roof, so we only need to maintain superficial contact and prevent outsiders from seeing the real story."
Baxiu seemed to understand, and wanted to ask again, but Hua Zhuo continued to walk with his head down to clear his thoughts, and ignored her.
Hua Yan was awake at the moment, being held and teased by Si Xi. Aunt Shuangcheng was sitting on the edge of the couch, looking at Hua Yan and smiling while sewing small clothes. When Hua Zhuo entered the house, no one saw her. Hua Yan's nanny Qi Sao had sharp eyes and called out: "The lady is here."
True to his word, Hua Xu immediately asked Jiu Hui to pack a few clothes, called a car, took two attendants and left, clearly not wanting to be under the same roof with members of his family for a moment.
Hua Xu was stunned for a moment, his expression finally softened, he rubbed the top of his daughter's head and said, "You still know about the people coming from my family."
