Chapter 88, Framed

After the Feng'anfang medicine shop was renovated, Hua Changxi prepared to open it. Therefore, after accepting An Ze and An Ran, she went into the Five Fingers Mountain and collected a lot of medicinal materials for refining warrior pills in preparation for the opening of the medicine shop.

After collecting all the necessary herbs, Hua Changxi played with Shan Ling and Xiao Song for a while, and then left.

Now that she has mastered the Somersault Cloud more and more, it only takes her an hour to return to the capital from the Five Finger Mountain.

Before dark, we returned to Hua's house.

In the next two days, Hua Changxi stayed at home. In addition to practicing and reading, she also gave instructions to her parents and two brothers. The day before she returned to the menial service hall to work, the four of them successfully drew Qi into their bodies.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, in addition to Hua Changxi who had to report to the Miscellaneous Services Hall, Hua Silang, Hua Qiniang, and Hua Shier Niang also had to go to the Earl's Mansion to practice.

When the four of them went out in the morning, Grandpa Hua, Grandma Hua, and their son and daughters-in-law stood at the door, watching them leave, with some reluctance on everyone's face.

Seeing that Second Uncle Hua, Second Aunt Hua, Fourth Uncle Hua, and Fourth Aunt Hua all had red eyes, Mr. Hua couldn't help but said, "Alright, stop looking so sad. Silang and the others are going to bring honor to the family. We should be happy."

After hearing this, Old Lady Hua muttered, "Nineth Lady has not brought honor to the family."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Minghe and Yao's faces immediately turned bad.

When Mr. Hua saw this, he glared at Mrs. Hua and said, "Jiu Niang is a lucky girl. With Da Lang and Shi Niang's help, her life will not be bad in the future. Let her do whatever she wants."

Old Madam Hua disagreed with this statement: "Da Lang and Shi Niang have more than just Jiu Niang's brothers and sisters. If they all rely on them, they will be exhausted to death."

"Isn't Jiu Niang very capable? She didn't listen to her family and insisted on working as a handyman in the Medical Department. If she really had her own integrity, she shouldn't have relied on her family's help."

Hua Liulang was very upset when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout, "Grandmother, Big Brother and Shi Niang are Jiu Niang's full siblings from the same mother, why can't Jiu Niang benefit from them?"

"Don't you just want Big Brother and Shi Niang to help your brothers and sisters at home? It doesn't make sense for them to help their cousins ​​but not their own sister, right?"

"You really don't make any sense when you talk."

When Mrs. Hua saw that Hua Liulang had openly talked back to her, she was stunned at first, then she flew into a rage and started to curse at Yao:

"Yao, look at the sons and daughters you raised. They are all unfilial and unfaithful. Are you going against the will of heaven?"

In the past, Yao would have listened silently to Old Madam Hua's scolding, but this time, Yao glanced at Old Man Hua who did not say anything to stop her, ignored Old Madam Hua, walked over, took Hua Liulang, and went straight back to the house.

This behavior not only stunned Grandpa and Grandma Hua, but also Uncle Hua, Aunt Hua and others.

Hua Minghe and Hua Sanlang looked at each other helplessly. Due to filial piety, they couldn't say anything to Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua; they couldn't bear to blame Yao and Hua Liulang. In the end, the father and son chose to escape.

"Father and mother, I'm going to work."

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to the pharmacy."

Looking at Hua Minghe and Hua Sanlang who left in a hurry, the Hua family fell silent again.

There was an obvious look of panic in the eyes of Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua. The reason they were able to control the entire Hua family was largely due to the cooperation of the eldest wife.

Now the big room doesn't cooperate
Aunt Hua looked at the old couple and quickly gave Uncle Hua a wink.

Uncle Hua didn't move at first, but after being pinched by Aunt Hua, he smiled and said, "Father and mother, don't be angry with elder brother and sister-in-law. You still have me and fourth brother. We will always be filial to you."

Then he looked at Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua and said, "Brother and sister, what do you think?"

Fourth Uncle Hua glanced at Second Uncle Hua and said, "Father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, and we are all filial to you."

The words of Second Uncle Hua and Fourth Uncle Hua calmed the panic of Old Man Hua and Old Lady Hua.

Yes, they also have the second and fourth child.

At this moment, Old Master Hua was extremely grateful that he had given the two second and fourth wives one portion of the three pills that Shi Niang had forced back, so that the first wife did not dominate alone.

Nothing has happened yet, but the eldest couple dared to ignore him and his wife. If they were to allow their family to dominate the family, the entire Hua family would have to act according to their wishes. There would be no place for him.

"Second and fourth sons, I know you are good people. Don't worry too much about Silang and Qi Niang. If you miss them, I will take you to the Bo's Mansion to see them."

"Father, can we really go to the Bo's Mansion?"

"The last time my father and the eldest brother went to the Earl's Mansion to pay a visit to the Earl, the Earl told me personally that my father could come over anytime."

Hearing what Grandpa Hua said, Uncle Hua immediately stepped forward to support Grandpa Hua, and Aunt Hua also smiled and supported Old Lady Hua, and the group returned to the yard.

After returning to the main hall, Mr. Hua sent everyone away. When only he and Mrs. Hua were left in the room, Mr. Hua spoke up: "The eldest and his wife love Jiu Niang, and Liu Lang is also in the same boat with that girl. In the future, don't criticize Jiu Niang in front of them."

Mrs. Hua no longer cared about Hua Changxi. Instead, she looked at Mr. Hua anxiously, "Is the boss really alienated from us?"

Old Master Hua knew Hua Minghe well. Whether it was practicing martial arts or entering the Six Gates, his family fully supported him. Even when he later married Yao, his family made a compromise.

These bosses all know what's going on, and they know that they owe their families.

The eldest brother might be a little bothered by the distribution of pills, but to say that he will no longer take care of the family is impossible.

In this regard, Mr. Hua still has confidence in his son.

Mrs. Hua said with regret on her face, "We shouldn't have let Yao into our family in the first place. The children of the second and fourth sons were very filial to us, but the ones born to Yao were simply here to collect debts from us."

Mr. Hua glanced at Mrs. Hua calmly and said, "Da Lang, San Lang, and Shi Niang are all good people. Liu Lang was influenced by Jiu Niang. Among the five children of the eldest brother, Jiu Niang is the only one who is rebellious."

"In fact, it's okay for Jiu Niang to make trouble. She wants to find a way out for herself, so let her do it. As long as she doesn't ask the family for help, we won't interfere in her future affairs. Don't let her affect our relationship with the boss."

Old Madam Hua snorted, "Even Yao dared to turn her back on me, how can I still care about Jiu Niang? From now on, I will just treat her as my granddaughter."

Hua Changxi had no idea about the turmoil in the Hua family. After returning to the menial service hall, she wanted to quickly verify whether teaching others how to handle medicinal materials could also improve her cultivation speed.

Therefore, after returning from the New Year, the female servants of the Sixth Bureau could see Hua Changxi standing on the bank of the ditch, teaching her team members how to quickly clean the medicinal materials and what issues need to be paid attention to when cleaning the medicinal materials.

"This Hua Changxi is not as unsociable as you said. I think he is quite enthusiastic. Qiuyu also told me that he is a responsible person."

Manager Zhou Ran came back after the Chinese New Year, and Hua Changxi took her place as manager. She, on the other hand, also took Hua Changxi's place as a handyman, working under Du Ruo.

Du Ruo looked at Hua Changxi who was seriously instructing Zhou Qiuyu and others, with a confused look on his face. Seeing his friend Zhou Ran's questioning look, he immediately said:
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, go ask Wang Yunchu and others to see if Hua Changxi used to be sociable."

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't say you lied to me. I'm just a little curious about Hua Changxi."

Du Ruo was still thinking about Hua Changxi's change: "Is it because he became a steward that Hua Changxi is different from before?" Zhou Ran smiled and said, "He will definitely be different after becoming a steward. One of the duties of a steward is to urge his subordinates to do their jobs well."

"Hua Changxi is an expert at cleaning herbs. She saw her subordinates were so slow in cleaning herbs. She probably felt that it would be embarrassing for her, so she wanted to teach Qiuyu and the others a few tricks."

Du Ruo felt that this should be the reason. Hua Changxi was a very proud person and this seemed like something she could do.

Zhou Ran: "What do you think? Can we go and sit in on the class? Qiuyu told me that Hua Changxi's explanation of medicinal materials is more comprehensive than any medical book she has read. She understands what she doesn't understand after listening to Hua Changxi's explanation."

Du Ruo found that she really didn't know Hua Changxi very well. Medical skills were a skill that could be passed down from generation to generation, and few people would teach others for free. She shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Zhou Ran: "Once you have learned the skills, they belong to you. Next time Hua Changxi explains it, I will shamelessly go over and see if she will chase me away."

Du Ruo did not stop her. Even if Hua Changxi didn't want the servants from other groups to hear it, she could at most chase them away. Zhou Ran might lose face, but nothing else would happen, so she just let her go.

There were many people who had the same idea as Zhou Ran. When they saw that Zhou Ran went over to listen and was not driven away, more and more people went to listen to Hua Changxi's explanation.

Time flies and it is already February.

On the first day of February, Hua Changxi finished his task and taught Zhou Qiuyu and others how to clean the medicinal materials they received today. After making sure that they could do it, he returned to his residence.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Hua Changxi took a look at his cultivation data.

[Realm: Jindan Realm 2001 million/1000 million]
The realm points have exceeded 2000 million!

Seeing that her realm points had increased by 10 million in just over a month, Hua Changxi was undoubtedly happy.

The Fire Lotus Hall was put into use on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month last year. From that day on, her cultivation speed has been increasing.

At this point, she could increase her cultivation by 40,000 points after practicing for one hour.

However, after Wuzhi Mountain was opened for more than a month, the initial explosive inflow and outflow was gone. Now the number of people entering and leaving Wuzhi Mountain every day has stabilized, and the speed of cultivation has no longer increased significantly.

She was quite satisfied with this.

Although there are abundant resources in Wuzhi Mountain, too many people coming in and out will definitely lead to the rapid consumption of resources. Now that the number of people has decreased, she thinks it’s good.

Although Five Finger Mountain could not bring about a significant increase in the speed of cultivation, she was certain that teaching pharmacy could also increase the speed of cultivation.

At the beginning, because she was only teaching ten people under her, Hua Changxi didn't feel this clearly. But later, as more and more female servants came to listen, she was sure that this could really improve the speed of cultivation.

"Open Wuzhi Mountain and teach pharmacy."

"The general trend of the spiritual energy revival is to get more people involved?"

Through these two things, Hua Changxi discovered that she seemed to have discovered an extraordinary rule.

As long as you do things that are conducive to the revival of spiritual energy, you will benefit.

Hua Changxi figured this out, and his heart was filled with excitement.

As long as she cultivates fast enough, she can quickly improve her realm; as long as her realm is high enough, no one can restrain or hurt her, and she can live freely and unrestrainedly.

Hua Changxi imagined himself invincible and was in a good mood. When he was in a good mood, he wanted to eat delicious food, so he went to the canteen kitchen to find Grandma Sun.

"Grandma Sun, I want to eat the tofu skin buns you made."

Last year, when Hua Changxi was punished to go to Sancha Medicine Store, Mrs. Sun talked to her once. After she came back, Mrs. Sun began to befriend her without any hesitation.

Hua Changxi did not sense any malice from Grandma Sun, and also wanted to see what she was trying to do, so he let her approach him.

Now when she came to the canteen to eat, she would eat the special meal prepared by Mrs. Sun.

Granny Sun saw Hua Changxi smiling and asked, "What good thing happened to you today that makes you so happy?"

Hua Changxi smiled and said, "Now many people from the Sixth Division come to listen to me teach the method of cleaning medicinal materials. I can feel their admiration for me. They no longer point fingers at me behind my back like before. Of course I am happy."

Granny Sun looked at her curiously while preparing the ingredients: "I thought you didn't care about these."

Hua Changxi paused and said, "It is naturally better to be liked by others than to be disliked by others. I am also a human being. Although the opinions of outsiders cannot influence me, I will be happy if I am recognized and liked by others."

Mrs. Sun smiled and was about to say something when Manager Qin came in.

Seeing Hua Changxi there, Manager Qin hurriedly asked her to take a look at his wrist. He had fallen during the New Year and his wrist had been hurting ever since.

The lighting in the kitchen was poor, so Hua Changxi and Manager Qin went to the front hall.

"Hey, isn't that Steward Leng? Why is she in the backyard?"

Hua Changxi was massaging Manager Qin's wrist when she suddenly heard other people talking in the cafeteria. She raised her head and looked outside, just in time to see Manager Leng walking away quickly.

Manager Leng suddenly came to the backyard of the Sixth Bureau. Although Hua Changxi found it strange, he did not think much about it. But a quarter of an hour later, there was suddenly a commotion in the front yard of the Sixth Bureau.

"Oh no! Oh no! The Royal Guards have surrounded the Sixth Bureau."

A maid from the dining hall ran in in a panic.

"Who surrounded the sixth inning?"

"Jinyiwei!"

"What are the Jinyiwei doing in the sixth game?"

"I don't know. They have watched everyone and are heading to the backyard."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi and the others in the cafeteria all changed color.

Hua Changxi thought of Steward Leng who had just come to the backyard, and quickly walked out of the dining hall and returned to his residence.

As soon as she entered the house, she found something wrong. She jumped up and quickly found a palm-sized wooden box from the gap in the eaves.

Hua Changxi opened the wooden box and saw three pills inside. Unfortunately, the last step of pill refining was not done well, and the spiritual energy of the pills leaked out, which made her notice it.

"Jinyiwei is investigating a case. Everyone in the backyard, come out and stand still!"

Hearing the noise outside the house, Hua Changxi hurriedly put the wooden box into the Shennong Ding. After checking that there were no other foreign objects in the room, he left the house.
