Empress Fenghua

Chapter 7
Several Mayxue plants in Qinyan Garden are blooming just in time, and the snow-white petals on the ground seem to have just paid a feast, and they are full of brilliance under the sun.

Hua Zhong looked at the scenery in the garden and smiled slightly, "The Yuyu Qionglou is still there today, but the red face has changed. Now this school of scenery has been included in my bag, and it is worthy of my mother's spirit in the sky."

This Qinyan Garden was built by Ning Xinian for Hua Zhong's mother, Feng Qinyan, and it has been empty for many years since Feng Ruoyan passed away.In retrospect, Feng Qinyan was also favored by the prime minister back then.

"Back then, the old lady wanted to live here but was always rejected by the master. Now that the garden is neat and tidy, and she acquiesced in allowing the lady to come in, I know that the master doesn't have a miss in his heart." Qin Xiang said with a smile, " These Mayxue plants are blooming all year round, which is a wonderful sight. Later, Qinxiang will pick the petals of Mayxue and seal them in earthen pots for the lady, and save them for her to wash her hair. You can also make tea and make pastries for the lady. Here Put a beauty couch under the tree, and the lady can enjoy the flowers and have a rest under the snow in May!"

Hua Zhong walked into the Snow Drinking Pavilion. There were all kinds of utensils and furniture in the house, which were a bit old but were all good things.After looking at the flowers again for a week, the curtains and curtains are all light blue, and the furnishings are completely elegant.It was no different from when her mother was alive.

"Miss, the decoration of this Snow Drinking Pavilion is elegant and beautiful. I think Miss must be very happy!" Qin Xiang smiled and opened the window behind the mirror, and the breeze blew by, and the tip of her nose greeted the fragrance.

Huazhong sat on the bed, stroking the taupe-coloured quilt embroidered with begonias, as if she could feel the warmth of her mother back then. "Nowadays all the old things are there, but it's not the same as before." Hua Zhong was a little sad.

Hearing that she was serving a cup of tea, Qin Xiang persuaded, "Miss, why should you be so sad, the deceased is gone, and now you are living a good life, which is Madam's greatest expectation. Today, Miss can live in this Qinyan Garden, and it is all Madam's sake." The glory of the year. Miss, drink some tea and moisten your throat."

Hua Zhong took the teacup, and saw Ziyan lift the bead curtain and come in, "You have been away for a long time, where did you go to sneak away? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zi Yan lowered her head and replied, "Miss, the servants are just taking care of the garden. See if there is anything missing."

"You have always been careful, but what's wrong?" Hua Zhong lowered his head to drink tea, but glanced at Zi Yan's expression.

"There's nothing major missing, but the kitchen lacks some bowls and chopsticks, and other sundries need to be added or subtracted." After Zi Yan finished speaking, she walked to Hua Zhong's side. "Miss, I've been bothering you for a long time, and you've been arguing with Da Furen for so long, you must be tired, why don't you take a break first! Let Zi Yan and Qin Xiang take care of other things!"

Hua nodded, "Qin Xiang, did you take care of the first painting?"

"Your maidservant is here!" Chu Hua lifted the bead curtain and came in, giving a slight salute. "Chuhua pays homage to Miss Ning San!"

Hua Chong looked at Chuhua's fair complexion and blue body, smiled and praised, "Your attire is so delicate and delicate, which makes people feel a little pitiful. You shouldn't always wear black at your age. "

"Miss Ning San is overrated. Chu Hua's qualifications are mediocre, less than one ten-thousandth of Miss Ning San's." Chu Hua's tone was sincere, but his attitude was silent.

Hua Chong saw it but didn't care at all, "You can talk, and your master must have trained you well. You are so cute, but I don't know how to arrange you. From now on, you will be by my side, Just follow Qinxiang and call me 'Miss'! Don't call me 'Miss Ning San' again, if someone listens to it, I'm afraid it will cause people to criticize him for nothing. Do you understand?" Hua glanced again. Zi Yan, with her eyes downcast, smiled slightly.

"Chuhua understands!" Chuhua sees everything in his eyes and keeps it in his heart.

Chuhua looked at Hua Zhong and said, "Miss, when Chuhua just came in, he saw the second lady waiting outside the door. The sun was scorching right now, and it seemed that the second lady had been waiting for a long time. I don't know if Miss Chuhua has seen you or not?"

Hua Zhong paused while drinking tea, and glanced at Zi Yan. "Qin Xiang, go and invite the second lady in!"

Qin Xiang said that he went out to pick up the curtains and invited Mrs. Lu to come in.Lu's face was flushed, and there were many beads of sweat on his forehead.Seeing Ziyan standing aside, and seeing Huazhong sitting on the bed drinking tea, he felt annoyed for a while.But it didn't happen, and it was well hidden.

Hua Zhong saw everything in his eyes, and his face was cold, "The second lady has been outside the house for a long time, why no one notified her? But she only found out when Chu Hua came in? Qin Xiang, do you know?"

Qin Xiang thumped and knelt on the ground, "Miss Mingjian, Qin Xiang has been by Miss's side all the time, without knowing it."

Hua Zhong looked at Zi Yan with cold eyes, and said sharply, "Zi Yan!"

Zi Yan hurriedly knelt down, for some reason, Hua Zhong always made her very scared today, and she was no longer the weak and weak look of the past.Ziyan explained, "The servant is just worried that the young lady is exhausted, thinking that it will not be too late to let the young lady rest and see the second lady again! The servant just thinks that the second lady will wait for a while, but I didn't think about it!"

Hua Zhong looked cold, and smashed the teacup in front of Zi Yan, splashing a large piece of Zi Yan's dress.

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "It's okay? Although the second wife is a concubine, she is also in charge of the family now. How can you, a girl, be negligent?"

Zi Yan hurriedly kowtowed, tears streaming down her face, "Zi Yan is convicted! Please punish me, Miss."

Hua Zhong straightened up, and said like a spring breeze blowing willows, "Now the head of the family is the second wife, what do you ask me to do? Why don't you hurry up and ask the second wife for your sins!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu didn't know whether Hua Zhong was deliberately trying to show him off and pretend to be a good person, or if he really didn't know that Zi Yan would deceive others.Now no matter what, Hua Zhong was the first to win, but he couldn't blame him anymore.

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Forget it! Miss Ziyan has been with the third lady for a long time, and she is also thinking about the third lady. It doesn't matter if I wait for a while..."

"Second madam!" Hua Zhong interrupted Lu's words and reminded, "Second madam is just in charge now, if she still tolerates everything as before, how can she subdue her servants? Now that Zi Yan is neglecting you so much, don't blame me Let her come out to be punished by you, even if I don't want to, you have to make a fuss. Only in this way can everyone know that the prestige of your second wife is not something others can underestimate!"

Hua Zhong said earnestly, "Second madam, the eldest lady has lived in the main room for a long time. You have been in charge of the prime minister's mansion for many years. If you don't gain authority now, how can you suppress the influence of the eldest lady and gain a foothold in the prime minister's mansion?"

Mrs. Lu gave Hua Chong a grateful look, and ordered, "Zi Yan has no dignity, neglects the master, pulls her down to beat ten boards! Let's see if she remembers in the future, tell other maidservants to listen, why is she so lax?" A good third lady who can serve you? Let them all be more careful!"

"Miss! Miss, this servant realizes my mistake, please forgive me!" Zi Yan walked up to Hua Zhong in pain, her face was pale, and her whole body was trembling with fear.

Hua Zhong waved his hand and closed his eyes. "Go down!"

Several women took Zi Yan out, leaving Lu Shi and others in the house.

Mrs. Lu sat down with a smile, and said to Hua Zhong, "My concubine thanked the third lady for reminding me! It's just that Ziyan was given to the third lady by the eldest lady. If the third lady wants to get rid of it, she should be cautious. Now the third lady sees this What else is lacking in Qinyan Garden, I just told my concubine. I have not touched the things in Xueyin Pavilion, and they are all the appearance of Hengyang County Lord when she was here. I think the third lady is willing to do so!"

"Second Madam has a heart! Hua Zhong has her own measure." Hua Zhong ordered, "First painting, let's watch tea!"

Lu's looked up, "When did Miss San have such a juicy girl?"

Hua Zhong smiled and didn't answer, "Now the second lady is in charge of the house, there is something I need you to do. The eldest lady has been in business for many years, and it is not easy to uproot her. But if the second lady wants to secure the position of the head of the house But the eldest lady can never get up again! Does the second lady understand?"

Lu's eyes rolled, and he struggled a little. "Miss San wants to..." Mrs. Lu made a "kill" motion, with some uneasiness in her eyes.

Hua Zhong sneered, wouldn't it be too cheap to kill Feng Qinyun now.She insisted on giving Feng Qinyun and her daughter Ning Huayan a taste of being notorious and spurned by everyone.Only by letting them go higher will it hurt more when they fall!
"I just don't want the eldest lady to get up and take over the family business again, and take away your power!" Hua Zhong said indifferently.

Mrs. Lu was slightly embarrassed, "Miss San, but in this way, I'm afraid the concubine can't explain to the master. I just took over the affairs of the family. If the eldest lady is here at this time... wouldn't the concubine be able to escape the responsibility?"

"Second Madam, you need to be careful!" Hua Zhong reminded slightly solemnly. "The fourth younger sister is not as good as the elder sister in terms of appearance, and her character is too poor, and she is born as a concubine. If there is no protection from the prime minister's mansion, I am afraid that life will not be easy in the future. The most important thing for a woman is to find a good man. Marriage is a good marriage. If the eldest lady is given a chance to breathe, when the second brother returns home and the eldest sister supports her, the eldest lady will definitely take over the family business again. At that time, the fate of the fourth younger sister to be the stepping stone of the eldest sister is really confirmed!"

"But..." Lu thought for a while, "I am an idiot, so I don't know what to do to get what I want?"

Hua Chongna smiled, "Then it's up to the Second Madam herself! I have already promoted you to the position of mistress, do you want me to take care of the First Madam myself?"

Mrs. Lu thought for a while, looked at Hua Zhong solemnly and said solemnly, "I understand!" She turned and walked out of Xueyin Pavilion.
