In Hua Tian's unhurried practice of calligraphy, piano, and painting, rumors spread outside the house.

Shen Jinyu, who had been recuperating in Washington, finally heard the rumors outside, and as a result, there was an earthquake-like turmoil in the mansion.

Shen Jinyu, who was ill, ignored her illness, and deliberately dragged Fu's mother and some little maids related to her to the courtyard wall near the street, and had a fierce attack.

Flesh and blood flew inside the wall, and the maids cried and called their mothers. The people watching from the outside of the wall shook their heads and sighed when they heard the sound of the boards and the screams of the girls.

This qiē is wonderful.

Fu's mother, as Shen Jinyu's companion, was beaten to the point of crying and calling her mother, but she still had her life. After all, the girls are not offenders, and they are still alive after the beating.

However, managing the treasury and purchasing cannot be done by paying for the mother.

Shen Jinyu was in the room, secretly discussed with Gui's mother for an afternoon, and finally elected the new person in charge of the warehouse and purchasing.

This person is Hua Tian's expected mother Qi, Lilac's mother-in-law.

When the news came out and Qi's mother officially took office, Lilac almost looked at Hua Tian with a "god" look. She couldn't imagine why the final winner would be Mother Qi.

In this regard, Hua Tian, who was teasing the incense with his little hand, smiled slightly and looked at the agarwood, "Does the agarwood know?" ”

Agarwood hesitated for a moment and hesitated, "The slave maid guessed something, I don't know if it's right." ”

Hearing this, Lilac looked at Agarwood in disbelief. She grew up in the house since she was a child, and she can't understand the mystery, why, Agarwood, who has only been here for a short time, will know?

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Hua Tian looked at the agarwood and said bluntly. Some people are born masters of the house and have to obey.

Now the second lady is afraid of rumors outside, so she rectifies Fu's mother. In order to put an end to more rumors from outsiders, she will completely change the manager. This manager, in order to avoid suspicion, must not be her own companion, so Qi's mother, whose daughter is a big maid next to Miss, is the most suitable. ”

Agarwood said his guess in a deep voice, but his eyes were full of confidence. She was sure that her guess was correct.

What a smart girl, Hua Tian looked at Agarwood with appreciation. She herself is at the same age, and it is difficult to catch up!

Looking away at Lilac, who still couldn't hide his doubts, Hua Tian was stunned and asked, "Is there anything else you don't understand?" ”

"There are a lot of old mothers in the house, why is it my mother?" Lilac frowned, looking puzzled.

Agarwood replied to herself, "Because you are Miss's maid." In everyone's opinion, you and Mother Qi are both from the Miss faction, and it is impossible to betray Miss. ”

has said it so bluntly, Lilac understands it as soon as her mind turns.

She thought for a while, looked at Hua Tian, and asked, "Miss, what do I need to do over there?" ”

"You don't have to do anything, you have done it before, and you will still do it in the future. You don't have to get too close to our Ronghuatang, just don't hurt me, don't deduct me. These words, when did you see Mother Qi, you said them so bluntly. ”

"Why?" Lilac said urgently.

She has been in the house for a long time, so she naturally understands what she gets, and what she has to give. Now as soon as Hua Tian made a move, she helped her mother find a fat difference, which is a great favor. When she was eager to repay, Hua Tian told her that she didn't have to do anything.

It's weird.

"As a human being, you can't just focus on immediate interests. If your mother had been close to me, I am afraid she would not have been able to sit for long. Tell your mother and she'll understand. After Hua Tian finished speaking, seeing that Lilac's smart eyes were still a little ignorant, he sighed.

"You serve me by my side, and you can be regarded as repaying me, and wouldn't it be better to repay me like this than to repay it all at once?"

Lilac suddenly looked up at Hua Tian and said excitedly, "The slave must be a good servant of Miss!" ”

"I believe in you." Hua Tian said with a smile.

After the dust settled, Hua Tian resumed the previous days of learning qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Qi's mother was newly appointed, and she still came to Ronghuatang once, but she also met openly, and Hua Tian only had a good time. If you want to say anything, she has already told Lilac that there are many people and many mouths, and it is useless to talk too much.

As the days passed, the heat slowly passed, and the weather gradually became cooler.

Hua Tian's light skills have been practiced so well that he can fly for a short time.

It's just that the Ronghua Hall in Washington is not big, after all, it is not easy to perform, so every night, it is always carried by Mother Lan and flies to the suburbs to practice.

Hua Heng and Hua Ke have also practiced light exercises, and they will also be taken to the suburbs by Master Ye to practice. As a result, several people sometimes meet.

Seeing Hua Tian following Mother Lan to practice light exercises, Master Ye snorted coldly, but he didn't stop it, but just taught Hua Heng and Hua Ke more seriously.

In the end, every evening, they made an appointment to go to the suburbs to practice together. Hua Tian's three brothers and sisters have a good relationship, and they are also in a very good mood when they practice, and they always talk together.

However, Mother Lan and Master Ye have some dislikes, so when they don't like each other, they will let the apprentices compete with each other.

Although Hua Tianming is not considered to be Mother Lan's apprentice on the surface, but after learning her light skills, he always has to fight on her behalf.

In the competition, the light skills of the three of them made rapid progress.

This night, when Hua Tian was competing with his two brothers, he didn't notice it for a while and ran over the mountain.

Just as she wanted to turn back, she was startled when she saw a large field of torches moving in the distance.

Hua Heng and Hua Ke practiced internal skills and foundations first, and dabbled in light skills a little later, so light skills are not comparable to Hua Tian. They were behind, and when they saw their sister running to the front, they were so frightened that they hurriedly followed.

"It's already night, why are so many people lighting torches and going out to work?" Hua Ke also saw a large piece of torches in the distance, and couldn't help but be curious.

"It's not supposed to be work, it seems to be an argument. Behold, the torches are divided between the two sides, and between them you go in and I go back. Hua Heng looked at it again and again, and said in a low voice.

"Well, it's supposed to be talking about something. Could it be a bandit? Hua Tian's tone was a little excited.

She had never been a bandit before, but when she saw it now, she was immediately excited.

"What are you doing here?" An unhappy old man's voice sounded, it was Master Ye.

"Master, we saw someone fighting in the distance." Hua Ke was the first to speak. Now that he has practiced some martial arts, he has always wanted to try his skills. Although he lost to his sister in light skills, his martial arts have not yet been expressed.

"What does that have to do with you, go back." Master Ye glanced at the torches in the distance and drove the three of them back.

When Mother Lan saw the three of them returning in a daze, she asked curiously, "What happened?" ”

"We saw a fight in the distance and wanted to see what was going on, but Master wouldn't allow it." Hua Heng replied respectfully.

"Hmph-" Master Ye snorted coldly on the side, "Do you think you can fight people?" This three-legged cat kung fu, but he also dares to fight with others, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ”

A bucket of cold water was splashed down, Hua Heng and Hua Ke were a little embarrassed, only Hua Tian smiled and said, "I haven't practiced kung fu either, but I have some light skills, but I'm afraid it's okay to escape." And we didn't plan to fight anyone, we were just curious about what was going on. ”

"What's curious, it's late at night, the place is a mountain forest, and there must be a quarrel between the peasants. These have nothing to do with you, and you don't care what you do. Quick, keep practicing. ”

Mother Lan knew that Hua Tian was smart and not like ordinary children, so she explained briefly when she spoke.

Both of them said so, and Hua Tian and the three of them knew that it was hopeless to watch the play, so they practiced seriously.

After a few more days, it was time to rest, and there was no need to go to school.

Hua Tian was practicing calligraphy in the house, Mother Lan was doing arithmetic, Agarwood was waiting, but Lilac didn't know where to run.

"Miss, your words are not bad, but the painting is far from good." After Lan's mother finished her arithmetic problems, she went to see Hua Tian practicing calligraphy. Seeing that she had finished practicing two, she interjected on the side.

Hua Tian put down his pen and smelled the thick scent of ink in the room, a little surprised.

She thinks that her painting is still good, and her husband has been praising it. Among the sisters of the Hua family, she is the youngest, but she paints the best.

"You think you draw well, don't you?" Mother Lan glanced at Hua Tian on the side and asked rhetorically.

Hua Tian nodded stunnedly, his skills are very good, if it weren't for the age limit, he would already be very proficient.

"The skills are really good, but the courage is far behind. Do you know what I look at your portrait? Mother Lan said to herself, without waiting for Hua Tian to answer, "Like a monster tied by 11,000 ropes!" ”

"What do you mean? Can you paint the same picture as I do? Hua Tian suddenly became angry, and anyone who heard that his paintings were monsters would be angry.

"I can't draw it, but that doesn't mean I can't evaluate. Your words are very skillful, but there is nothing to be done, only rigidity. Mother Lan shook her head and said.

Hearing this, Hua Tian no longer spoke, but lowered his head.

She had heard these words once. In her previous life, the teacher who taught her to draw said so.

I can't imagine that I will live again for a lifetime, but some people still see it.

She couldn't understand that she was also painting normally, why was she left with stereotypes? Why are you tied up with a rope?

I really don't understand!

Mother Lan watched Hua Tian fall into deep thought, so she waved her hand at Agarwood, motioning for her to go out with her, and let Hua Tian think about it for herself.

Hua Tian thought about it for a long time in the house, and when he thought of noon, he still couldn't figure out why.

"Miss, let's rest first. If you think about it later, you can always figure it out. Agarwood walked in and whispered to Hua Tian.

Hua Tian Muran nodded, and followed him to the bright room.

As soon as he came out, he smelled the fragrance of flowers, Hua Tian looked up, and saw a few osmanthus flowers in the red-glazed blue and white porcelain by the window.

"Now a laurel tree in the garden has bloomed early, and the slave and maid have picked some when they see it." Seeing that Hua Tian noticed the osmanthus he had picked back, Lilac immediately introduced.

"It's a little fragrant, too." Hua Tian nodded, "Where have you been in the morning?" ”

Although she has been thinking about what is wrong with her paintings, she is not so distracted that she does not have the heart to pay attention to other things. In the room, the sound of lilacs has not been heard.

"The slave has gone to listen to the sisters talk about the strange things that are happening in the town." When Lilac talked about this, she suddenly came to her senses, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she pulled Hua Tian to sit down, and she was about to talk about it. R1152
