Hua Yuerong showed an aggrieved expression: "Father, I don't know what happened. My aunt just went to a fortune teller and then asked me to leave. I'm afraid her relationship with my father was not as good as the rumors said. She just casually provoked a few words and believed what others said."
"Did Master Guo say something?" Hua's father asked puzzledly, "But Master Guo never said anything bad when he was fortune-telling."
Even if it was because of Guo Su, he couldn't cause trouble for him. In Qiang City, there were many ladies from big families who respected Master Guo. The Hua family was in decline, so they could only put the matter aside for the time being.
"You should move into the house first. The conditions in the mansion are not as good as those in the Jin Mansion. Life is very simple. Yuerong, please don't cause trouble for your parents."
"Yes, father, I am not a willful and extravagant person."
Hua Yuerong looked at the empty mansion, which compared to the bustling and luxurious Jin Mansion, and felt a sense of disparity in her heart.
After Hua Yuerong left, Hua Li came over.
"My dear, Miss Yuerong is here, and I have already arranged the rooms in the backyard. There is another thing. The prefect of the prefecture has taken office, and my dear husband said that he would prepare a gift. I don't have any valuable calligraphy or paintings at home. I heard that Madam Jin sent a cart of gifts. I wonder if I can see if there is a suitable gift."
Father Hua frowned, thinking of the cart of gifts that Madam Jin sent when Hua Yuerong came, saying that they would be included in Hua Yuerong's dowry. If the Hua family had difficulties, even if Hua Yuerong had reached the age to get married, they would have to use this cart of things.
"When the time comes, you can check whether there are any famous calligraphy and paintings in that cart. The prefect who came here likes these pretentious things. If there is nothing suitable, sell some of your belongings and buy a painting."
"Yes." Hua Li nodded, with a hesitant look on her face: "I have one more thing to ask. Yue Rong has reached the marriageable age. Should I find her a date?"
"Just do it as you see fit. Let me have a look at it when the time comes. It would be best if you have a wealthy family and can help the government."
"yes."
Hua Li smiled faintly. After listening to what her husband said, she only needed to consider the family background. As for the character, it was not that important.
She couldn't stand Hua Yuerong's arrogant and cold look. She looked sad all day long and didn't look like a lucky person. She thought she was lucky to marry into the Jin family, but it seemed that she had ruined all the wealth.
......
When Zhang Xingyi came, he saw Tu Yufan exercising in some strange postures. Ji Suzhi, who usually disliked Tu Yufan, was sitting in the pavilion, eating snacks while looking at Tu Yufan and talking to him from time to time. Her eyes were curved into crescent shapes and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Sickly boy, what are you doing? You're like a turtle. Don't fall on your back."
Tu Yufan: ...Why are you so noisy? I can't even exercise in peace.
Zhang Xingyi felt a strange feeling when he saw that Tu Yufan didn't seem to pay much attention to Ji Suzhi. He knew that his niece was always worried, but he didn't expect that when she was with Tu Yufan, she seemed to regain the innocence and romance of her childhood.
Zhang Xingyi asked, "Suzhi, Yufan, what are you doing?"
Ji Suzhi turned her head and saw Zhang Xingyi, and walked over happily.
"Uncle Zhang, Yufan is exercising. He said he saw these movements in a book. They look so funny to me."
"This is a health-preserving exercise that can regulate the spleen and stomach and increase body flexibility."
"Have you studied medicine?"
"I just read some medical books in my spare time and recognize a few medicinal herbs."
