Fang's face remained unchanged, and she still smiled and said words of begging to stay. This was also the etiquette in the scene. When a guest wanted to leave, the host should repeatedly beg to stay, and then he could make a regretful expression and send the guest out, while the guest had to stay. When the host repeatedly tries to persuade the guest to stay, he or she will praise the host's hospitality. This is a tedious and meaningless process. It is just for the sake of etiquette, but it is also the most important process. Whether the guest is sincere or not can express the host's sincerity towards the guest. The level of attention, and any of these ladies here who are not delicate and elegant, will naturally not be ignored.
"It's just a hug, how can I spoil you?" Aunt Shuangcheng laughed softly, "The young master is not sensible yet."
Looking at his son's smiling face, Hua Xu felt relieved and turned around to leave. As soon as he left, Aunt Shuangcheng called a steward from the outer courtyard to come in and said: "Send someone to Huifang Garden to see if the banquet at Madam's place is over. If it is over, please ask Madam to come back early. "
When the young man arrived at Huifang Garden, it was already past noon, and the banquet had come to an end. It was just when the ladies who had had enough wine and food were preparing to leave. The young man was very discerning, so he stood still in the distance. Miharu had a sharp eye. , caught a glimpse of him, and recognized him as the boy from the outer courtyard, so he quietly whispered to Fang while no one was paying attention.
Angrily, he went to the inner courtyard to find Fang, but in vain. Hua Xu then remembered that Fang had gone to Huifang Garden early this morning to host a banquet for the county governor's wife.
Hua Xu shook his head and said: "Children should be taught from an early age. Zhuo'er was spoiled since he was a child, and he gradually understood some things after he fell into the water last time." As he said this, his face turned serious. , "Zhuo'er is a girl, it doesn't matter if she is pampered, but Yan'er cannot. He is a boy and has a heavy responsibility. In the future, Zhuo'er will have to rely on him to support him, so he must be steady."
Hua Xu's last bit of anger melted into his son's yucking. He hesitantly reached out his hand, wanting to hug his son, but he retracted.
Hua Zhuoyuan wanted to say a few more words to Zhuang Jing, but when he turned around, he happened to see the boy, and a sudden idea came to his mind. Someone from his family suddenly came to Huifang Garden. Could something have happened
Hua Xu thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "No, he is the eldest son and grandson of our Rongan Hall. In the future, the entire Rongan Hall will be handed over to him. He also has to take the responsibility of protecting his sister and cannot spoil her. ”
It wasn't until everyone was almost gone that Ms. Fang had time to briefly glance at the young man. Then she slightly raised her chin to Sanchun, motioning for Sanchun to go over and ask about the situation. She then walked towards the county governor's wife with a smile.
"Master, the young master recognizes you, please give him a hug." Aunt Shuangcheng smiled and hugged Hua Yan and brought him to Hua Xu.
Hua Zhuo had also seen off guests before. Fang was sending off the ladies, and she was sending off the young masters and ladies. There was no need to keep asking the children to stay, they could just give each of them a small gift she had prepared in advance. They left happily, and the only ones left were the two brothers Zhuang Zheng and Zhuang Jing and Du Wan.
Aunt Shuangcheng heard that the master had gone to his wife's house in a hurry, and knowing that something must be going on, she quickly dropped what she was doing and hurried over. When she saw Hua Xu coming out of Fang's house, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
When Miharu walked towards the boy, she found that someone was already ahead of her.
Did he actually regard his daughter as the stone lion of the house? It is tolerable, but what is unbearable is that if Rongchangtang was not far away in the capital, Hua Xulian would have wanted to cause trouble in Rongchangtang.
Aunt Shuangcheng quietly looked at his face. Although it was not very ugly, she still couldn't hide it from her, who had been serving him for many years. Master, I heard someone said that the master is here. Master, if you have nothing to do, will you go with your maid and concubine to see the young master?"
Is it Miss
Aunt Shuangcheng had never seen him look like this before. She was startled and did not dare to ask for more details. She quickly lowered her head and said to Hua Yan: "Young Master, I have great expectations for you. You must live up to your expectations." .”
Aunt Shuangcheng heard some of the smell and asked cautiously: "Master, is there another place in Rongchang Hall..."
Hua Xu clenched his fists and said bitterly: "My family is so powerful that we bully others too much."
The little steward was also a smart person. He knew that Aunt Shuangcheng would not go to the outer courtyard to ask for help, so he regarded this errand as the first priority and immediately sent a quick-footed servant to Huifang Garden.
"It's too much!"
When Hua Xu saw her, his expression softened and he said, "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."
As soon as this idea came up, he could no longer suppress it. He handed the banker brother and sister to Du Wan, and Hua Zhuo walked towards the boy.
When he mentioned his son, Hua Xu's face became a little better. He pondered for a while and then walked towards the wing.
Hua Yan didn't know whether he understood or not, but he laughed at Aunt Shuangcheng again and made a giggle in his mouth.
Hua Yan was not even a hundred days old, but he was already fat and white, with a round and hairy face, and a pair of dark eyes that seemed to recognize people. He had just fed milk and was lying on the bed kicking his legs when he suddenly saw Hua Xu. When he came in, he stared at her with his eyes fixed on her, then he opened his mouth to reveal two shallow dimples, and he stretched out his hand to hug her.
Just when Hua Zhuo was thinking of his father, Hua Xu was sitting in his study with a livid face.
It was also a coincidence that the letter from Rongchangtang arrived a moment earlier. After reading it, Hua Xu felt a little sad in his heart. When he was reflecting on whether he was too stubborn, the letter from shopkeeper Fang Da arrived just in time. When he opened it, Hua Xu was furious. He slapped his palm on the table, almost knocking the pen and inkstone on the table to the ground.
"It's almost time, I have to go back to the government office to handle official business."
After all, our intention is to let Hua Zhuo go to Beijing, but this time the letter contains a stronger intention for the two churches to repair each other. The letter was written by Hua Xu's eldest cousin Hua Min. It mentions the family history of the wealthy Hua family in a large space, the glory they once had, and also vaguely expresses the regret for the old incident more than ten years ago.
As the host and guest, the county governor's wife was the last to leave. When Fang was trying to persuade the other ladies to stay, Mrs. Du stayed with the county governor's wife.
Another letter was sent by Fang Da, the shopkeeper of Jingzhong Restaurant. The letter was not long, just a few sentences, but it explained the reason why Yan, the ancestor of Rongchang Hall, fell ill and sent someone to pick up his daughter. Clearly.
Aunt Shuangcheng raised her hands to cover her face with her sleeves, hiding her smile. No matter why the master was in a bad mood, as long as she saw the young master, she would definitely be happy.
She quickly quickened her pace.
He held two letters in his hand. One was just sent by someone from my family. The letter told some about the current situation of Rongchang Hall, focusing on the fact that after the ancestor saw the jade pendant given by Hua Zhuo, The disease was much better. When the ancestor felt happy, he talked about the granddaughter across the hall even more. He also said that he had not seen his nephew-in-law for many years and missed him dearly. He looked forward to taking his nephew-in-law with him after she recovered. My daughter went to Beijing to live for a while.
Si Xi came over to salute, but Aunt Shuangcheng winked and retreated to the corner without saying a word.
"master."
