Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 301 Hollow Cabbage

At this time, Pei Rongjin was wearing a robe of the same color as the flower bud, and a jade pendant made of the same material as the flower bud bracelet on his waist. He was there with a refreshed look.

He entertained others like a host. He poured tea and handed wet wipes to his grandfather, Bai Laohouye, and Gui Jijiu. He was very busy and had a great time. He took over all of Xiaoyuan's work.

What Xiao Yuan didn't know was that Pei Rongjin had only put on the robes and accessories he was wearing when he arrived at the Hua residence. Pei Rongjin had brought more than a dozen robes and jade pendants of different colors and textures in the carriage he brought this morning.

And this set of clothes was specially changed by Pei Rongjin after Qingzao met Hualei and told Pei Rongjin about it in the carriage. If Xiaoyuan knew, would he let Hualei go back to her room to change clothes?

Xiao Yuan looked at Rong Jin who was extremely active, Bai Yunhe who was eager to make a move, and Gui Jingan who was depressed, and couldn't help but sigh.

Turning around, I was speechless to see Hualei, who was still busy preparing snacks for the little ones. This cabbage in my garden is really a hollow cabbage.

At three quarters after 3 p.m., everyone said goodbye and left one by one. Rong Jin and Zhenzhu also accompanied Old Madam Pei back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Only Hualei, Xiaoyuan, and a group of servants were left in the house. Hualei asked the maid to close the door, and she and Xiaoyuan went back to their room to rest.

Because of the move, Hua Lei was busy for about half a month. After the moving party, the next day, after sending Xiao Yuan to the Imperial College, a big stone in her heart fell. Only then did Hua Lei feel too tired, so for the next few days, Hua Lei stayed at home and had a good rest.

So, Aunt Song naturally stayed in the new house and made all kinds of delicious food for Hua Lei.

The bun shop in Qingyun Lane is now run by Mrs. Luo, and there is no problem with preparing the fillings. Hua Lei has also arranged some indentured slaves and wives of retired soldiers to help make buns in the bun shop.

So Auntie Song can now free up her hands and no longer need to go to the bun shop every day. She can stay at home and cook different kinds of food for Hualei every day. Moreover, Auntie Song has also been holding a book recently, flipping through it from time to time to study.

Hualei took a look and found that it was a book about medicinal diet bought from the printing house. Aunt Song also planned to make it for Hualei and Xiaoyuan after learning it. Loving to learn is a good thing, so Hualei certainly didn't stop it.

At the same time, Hua Lei also asked Aunt Fu, who had been working hard for a long time, to have a good rest in the house and not to work on the farm anymore.

In the summer, Aunt Fu accidentally sprained her waist and hadn't fully recovered yet, so she just obediently stayed in the new house.

Every day I looked around the new house, feeling very happy, but at the same time secretly feeling sad that Mr. Hua and Mrs. Hua passed away too early.

Hualei, who lives in Zhaizi, Qingyun Lane, also made some arrangements because the steamed bun shop business was getting better and better, and the shop in front could not accommodate so many people making steamed buns and wontons.

Therefore, Hualei asked Ping'an and his wife and Xiaoqun to move into her and Xiaoyuan's room, and the original study on the second floor was converted into a warehouse to store books and stationery. Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu's room, as well as the original Xiu study and the ear room where Aunt Song and Xiaoxiao lived were converted into large bunk beds for the women of the bun shop to live in.

The three rooms in the east wing were vacated and cleaned up. One was used for chopping meat and preparing seasonings, one was used for making dumplings and wontons, and one was converted into a kitchen for steaming dumplings and steamed buns.

All the sundries were piled up in the west wing, so the bun shop became much more spacious. The washed steamers and dishes would no longer be placed under the eaves and affect walking, and the yard would no longer be so crowded that there was no room to stand.

In the new house, Hualei would sleep until she woke up naturally every day, eat breakfast and walk around in her yard to digest the food, then read some books written by Qingying and others. She would also occasionally flip through some newly-arrived books.

Originally, Hualei didn't want to do the book editing work, and now she didn't need the money. But Qingying and Qinglian liked to do it very much, mainly because the latest books would come out from time to time, and they would also receive some rare floating books.

So while they are repairing books, they also read books. Nowadays, there are too few entertainment activities. Reading books is indeed a good way to kill time.

In addition, Hualei was generous and gave them money every month to repair books, so they were happy to do so. Otherwise, when Hualei went to the farm to work and they were not needed, they would be bored, so they would just keep repairing books.

Qingcheng and Qingyue continued to take turns following Xiaoyuan to the Imperial College, helping to take various small orders in the Imperial College, such as meat floss and snacks. They could receive a lot of extra money from Hualei every month, so they worked very hard.

The food truck placed near the Imperial College is Qingcheng Qingyue's small warehouse, which is very convenient. Those who are not on their turn will stay in Huazhai to guard the house.

Sometimes he would help Qingying and Qinglian run errands and do some chores, and they were all very happy. Even the guards who were seconded from Rongjin were jealous.

Before moving, Hualei went to Sifangyuanyahang and selected a dozen maids and servants to put in the new house. She asked Qingcheng to help train the servants and Qingying to take care of the maids. Now these maids and servants also follow Qingcheng and Qingying to help take care of various things in the house.

In her spare time, she also helped Qingying and Qinglian to repair books. This time, Hualei specially chose books that could recognize words and numbers, so that they would be easier to train. After all, the requirements for keeping books in the house and on the farm were different. Although the silver was a little more expensive, Hualei felt that she had to spend the money she should spend.

After having lunch in the new house and taking a nap, Hualei was swaying leisurely without being anxious or impatient. She had a really relaxing and comfortable life these days.

Hualei is indeed living an easy and comfortable life, but a few young men are not having a good time these days.

After drinking at the Hua family's house and saying goodbye to Hua Lei, Gui Jijiu took Gui Jing'an and his brothers back to their own house in Yongningfang.

After letting the other grandchildren go down, Gui Jijiu took Gui Jingan to the study in his front yard. Looking at his eldest grandson who was in a depressed mood, Gui Jijiu couldn't help but sigh and asked.

"How is it? After going there today, have you given up on Hua Yatou?"

"Grandfather, I..." Gui Jing'an just felt a bitterness in his heart and was very uncomfortable.
