"What did my mother say today?"

As soon as she met her own home, Yuan Ru couldn't bear it. Wen's words revealed too much information, and her intuition told her that there must be an ulterior secret in it. And the matter is very important, it is related to his father-in-law, Hua Yaozong, and even more to the entire Lao Hua family. Moreover, this event is definitely not a happy event.

Yuan Ru has been married to the Lao Hua family for so many years, but she never knew that these people from the Lao Hua family were so deeply hidden! She took a deep breath and closed the door to ask questions.

Hua Jizu obviously didn't expect Yuan Ru to be difficult, and after being stunned, he felt a little unhappy: "Don't ask, this is not something you should know." ”

"What do I mean I shouldn't know, am I not the daughter-in-law of your old flower family!" Yuan Ru was not happy anymore, the gentle woman on weekdays widened her eyes at the moment, and she was vicious: "Hua Jizu, over the years, how much have I paid for you and our son!" Don't you see? I can tell you, I have the right to know the truth of all this! I don't want to die and I don't know who my mother-in-law is! ”

The knots in Yuan Ru's heart, which was rare for Hua Jizu to be so excited, were also calmed down, but some things could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences, not to mention that this was a major matter related to the entire Lao Hua family, how could it be said casually.

Hua Jizu sighed and hugged the excited Yuan Ru into his arms: "The stakes are very high, you also heard what your mother said, it is about the second child, and the second child's mother, so I can't say it." ”

"Why can't you say that?" Although he was comforted by Hua Jizu and felt better, Yuan Ru was still unwilling. She is still afraid, afraid that her husband's hard-won move will be in vain because of this incident.

Yuan Ru carefully recalled Wen's words, and always felt that every word of Wen's words was full of deep meaning and strangeness. Her own pondering and pondering, thinking of a possibility, suddenly widened her eyes, looked at Hua Jizu and said, "Xianggong, is that Knowles not your biological mother?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense! How could it not be! Hua Jizu hurriedly pushed Yuan Ru away, and said righteously, "Yuan Ru, you can't talk nonsense, my biological mother is Knowles, why not, I and Hua Yaozong are brothers!" I can tell you, you can't just talk about it, and you can't spread it! ”

Although Hua Jizu said this, Yuan Ru saw a flash of panic on his face. Yuan Ru's heart instantly lifted, and for some reason a trace of disappointment flashed.

When Yuan Ru married into the Lao Hua family, the Knowles were long gone, and no one in the entire Lao Hua family had never mentioned Knowles and Hua Yaozong.

Until Hua Qingyan's appearance.

Hua Qingyan is like a key, the key to unlock the secret of the old Hua family, which has been sealed for so many years, and it is also the key to open the root of everything.

When Hua Jizu saw Yuan Ru's stunned face, he understood that what he had just said did not have any effect at all, but made Yuan Ru think more. Of course, he also understands that he is as smart as Yuan Ru, and such a clumsy lie naturally can't deceive her. It's just that there are some things that he really can't explain clearly, because he doesn't know what happened back then.

But he knew one thing. That is, Knowles is not his biological mother, and when Hua Qi met Knowles, Hua Yaozong was already in Knowles's belly.

But Hua Jizu can't say that this secret can only be hidden in his heart for the rest of his life, rotting in his stomach.

Hua Jizu sighed and hugged Yuan Ru into his arms again, "Things are not as simple as you think, in order to avoid trouble, I can't tell you now." When the time comes, I will not hide it from you again. ”

Yuan Ru did not struggle, and obediently nested in the arms of Hua Jizu. She has sorted out the context of the matter, although she doesn't understand why she can't say it, but she also understands that there must be something that can't be investigated.

However, Yuan Ru was still a little worried inexplicably, she always felt that as long as Hua Qingyan was still in the mountain village, then the secret hidden by the old Hua family would definitely be revealed! After that, the old flower family will face a huge disaster!

Thinking of this, Yuan Ru couldn't help but ask: "Has the prime minister mentioned the appointment to the adult, if so, please transfer us out of Chaoyang Town, a mountain village." ”

"Nature." Hua Jizu didn't have as many worries as Yuan Ru, but he was also excited when he thought of being appointed as an official, "I don't want to stay in this poor and remote place, when the time comes, I will leave here with my son and grandson, and we will live a new life, and then you will no longer be a talented lady, but the wife of an official family." ”

seems to have seen his bright future, and the smile on Hua Jizu's face is extraordinarily bright. Looking at her husband's appearance, Yuan Ru sighed secretly, but her eyes were a little more determined.

Hua Qingyan didn't expect to send Hua Qingzhu away, and the people from the old Hua family came to the door again. This time it was Yuan Ru who came.

"You guys do it first, and ask Biluo if you don't understand something." Hua Qingyan washed her hands and ordered, "These are relatively simple snacks, when you are almost familiar with them, I will teach you the rest." ”

Hua Qingyan was very busy, and all kinds of things piled up together made her unable to do anything, and she couldn't wait to tear herself apart. When she came back from Dong's house, she began to soak in the kitchen to teach the soldiers to make dim sum, and of course she also taught some home-cooked food. Fortunately, these soldiers have a foundation, although they have not been exposed to such fine dim sum before, but the minds of those who know how to cook are also delicate enough, and it is not slow to get started. Hua Qingyan started with a simple teaching, and waited until they were familiar with various ingredients before letting them get in touch with more complex dim sum little by little. The brothers and men here are upright but not stupid, and they are very open-minded and studious, so Hua Qingyan also taught them carefully, and after a few days, they have already started the dim sum that Hua Qingyan had made before.

Because she got a lot of lotus seeds in the space, Hua Qingyan was teaching them to make lotus seeds today, but she didn't expect the soldier at the door to come to report that there was someone outside the courtyard, and she claimed to be Hua Qingyan's aunt.

As soon as Hua Biluo heard that someone from the Lao Hua family had come to her, she lowered her face: "Sister, don't go, the people from the Lao Hua family are not good things, so Yuan Ru must not be well-intentioned!" I'm afraid they'll poison the food!" ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Hua Qingyan patted Hua Biluo's head, "The old Hua family is going to hold a three-day flowing water banquet, not only for me, but also for the whole village's Uncle Lizheng family, if they dare to poison the food, it will be killing people in front of everyone, and the identity of this person and Xiucai can't protect them." With such glory, how could they destroy themselves. You're just thinking too much! ”

"Yes, yes, I think too much." Hua Biluo was patted and shook her head left and right, "But sister, you still have to guard against it, the people of the old Hua family are crazy, so prevent them from making you bad!" ”

"Okay, okay, I know, Biluo old mother." Hua Qingyan joked and left the kitchen with the smiles of the soldiers.

Yuan Ru had been invited in and was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. She didn't come to Hua Qingyan's courtyard much, and she came once when Hua Qingyan just moved in to set up a banquet, but that time she only looked at this front yard, and later she was embarrassed by Hua Panpan and Hua Xi and left early.

Looking at this beautiful courtyard and looking at this exquisite decoration, the well-informed Yuan Ru couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart. This courtyard occupies a huge area, and Hua Qingyan also built a villa in the back mountain, and even bought the ownerless land in the north of the village. Yuan Ru couldn't imagine how much silver Hua Qingyan had spent, and she couldn't imagine how much silver she had earned in just a few months.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ru couldn't help but think that if the people of their Lao Hua family had been more generous and benevolent to Hua Qingyan and really regarded her and the two children as a family, maybe the Lao Hua family would have known the current situation. Although Yuan Ru doesn't get along much with Hua Qingyan, she also clearly knows that Hua Qingyan is not a ruthless person, she is kind, she will repay her kindness, and she will not take revenge.

But now it's useless to say this, they have pushed Hua Qingyan away, and even have a grudge. And according to Hua Jizu's words, there are still grievances and grievances of the previous generation, and it is impossible for them and Hua Qingyan to start over even if they want to.

Hua Qingyan sat opposite Yuan Ru very naturally, "Mrs. Hua, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Naturally, the people of the old Hua family would not come to the door without incident, so Hua Qingyan was not polite and went straight to the point.

Seeing Hua Qingyan like this, Yuan Ru naturally saved those compliments, "That's the case, Miss Qingyan, you should also know that the old Hua family is going to hold a flowing water banquet in three days, we have discussed and want to ask the cook of Guanlanju to help, Miss Qingyan, you are the owner of Guanlanju, so I want to ask the girl how the price is calculated." ”

Since it is business, Hua Qingyan has no reason to refuse, "I will naturally do the business delivered to the door, but I don't know if you only want my Guanlanju craftsmanship, or do you bring the ingredients together?" ”

"Naturally, it's all along with the ingredients." Yuan Ru said.

Hua Qingyan smiled: "I didn't expect the old Hua family to be so rich now, the ingredients in Guanlanju are the freshest and best ingredients, and it will cost a lot of silver to hold the three-day flowing water banquet." I don't know if you have a budget? Don't wait for the time to run out of money to settle the bill, but it's a joke. ”

Yuan Ru's face changed, and her smile stiffened a little. They all want to be decent, but they ignore that Guanlan Ju is the best restaurant in town, and the ingredients and dishes are naturally not cheap. If you ask the cook of Guanlanju to do this, after three days of flowing water feast, with the current financial resources of the old Hua family, I am afraid that it will not be able to pay at all.

Hua Qingyan looked at Yuan Ru's face and was in a mood like a mirror, and said leisurely: "That's it, Mrs. Hua, you go back first and then discuss with your family, as for the final result, even if you don't do it here, I won't say anything." If you are simple, then go to the town Guanlanju to contact us directly, and you can also ask him if you have any requirements. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Ru didn't have to stay, so she thanked Hua Qingyan and left immediately.
