Chapter 141, Difference in Family Education

Old Master Hua was extremely furious when Hua Changxi left. He felt ashamed of losing face in front of outsiders, and also felt sad and disappointed that Hua Changxi did not care about his family's feelings.

"Don't worry about her. She's grown up. If she wants to leave, she can leave. The family can still function without her. Sit down and eat."

Old Man Hua suppressed his anger, signaled for everyone to pick up their chopsticks, and then began to eat.

The atmosphere was depressing and stagnant. Everyone didn't want to offend the old man at this time, so they could only pick up their chopsticks and start eating without any taste.

At the dinner table, Hua Mingzhe and his two sons and Mr. He Sanye were all in extremely depressed mood. They gave up reunion with their families and came to the Hua family for dinner, but they didn't expect to see such a farce.

In the depressing atmosphere, lunch ended hastily. Then, Hua Mingzhe and his two sons found an excuse to leave the Hua family. Uncle He San followed closely with Hua Wuniang and the children.

The two families' carriages drove out of Xiu Zheng Fang one after another.

"That Hua Jiuniang is too disobedient and unfilial."

In the carriage, for Hua Hongchen and Hua Hongtao, who met Hua Changxi for the first time, today was an eye-opener.

Hua Hongtao: "Uncle Minghe is so incompetent. He watched Hua Jiuniang talk back to Grandpa Bin and didn't even bother to intervene. If I were him, I would have stepped forward to teach Hua Jiuniang a lesson long ago."

Hua Hongchen: "Yes, I used to think he was the most responsible person in Grandpa Bin's family, but now it seems that I was exaggerating."

Hua Hongtao suddenly sneered and said, "So what if the whole family is cultivators? Even the granddaughter dares to talk back to her grandfather. Such a family will never prosper."

Hua Hongchen: "When I think about having to flatter such a person in the future, I feel really bad."

Hua Mingzhe looked at his two sons who were talking and said, "Alright, stop talking. Before you get the body-refining technique, you can't show any contempt for them in front of Hua Bin's family. If you lose the technique and lose your future because of your own inappropriate words and deeds, you will have to bear the consequences."

Seeing that his father was angry, Hua Hongchen quickly said, "Dad, don't worry, we know the seriousness of the matter, we are just complaining in private."

Hua Hongtao also said, "Yes, in the Bo's Mansion, we have been getting along well with Hua Silang and the others for a long time." He paused, "Hua Silang, Hua Qi Niang and the others are all easy to get along with. But Hua Jiu Niang, whom I met today, is unruly and aloof, and looks as if she doesn't take anyone seriously."

Hua Mingzhe sighed: "The more capable a person is, the harder it is to make friends with him."

After hearing this, Hua Hongchen and Hua Hongtao looked at each other and fell silent.

When their family was still prosperous, they were often taken around by the uncle and the prince to socialize, and they had met some proud geniuses. Although some of them were relatively approachable, most of them were unsociable and their attitude towards them was even worse than Hua Changxi's today.

Hua Mingzhe: "No matter what, you still have to take the initiative to make friends with Hua Jiuniang in the future."

As they were talking, the father and his two sons returned to the mansion. As soon as they arrived home, they were called to the main courtyard.

Hua Xianyao, a clan elder who was already over 70 years old, had been waiting for the three to come back. When he saw them, he asked, "Why are you back so early?"

Hua Mingzhe immediately told the story of the farce that happened in Hua Bin's home: "Uncle Bin was very angry. I thought today was not the time to discuss things, so I came back with the two children."

After hearing this, the elder of the clan frowned and said, "Hua Bin doesn't know how to discipline his descendants." Then he looked at Hua Tai and said, "You should give him more advice when you have the chance. How can a grandfather let a young man ride on his head, especially a young lady?"

Hua Tai thought of the unruly Hua Changxi and suddenly had a headache: "Father, Hua Bin is good at disciplining his descendants. Most of his grandchildren obey the arrangements of their family, but Hua Jiuniang grew up crooked."

The elder of the clan snorted, "It's because your methods are not strong enough. If they were strong enough, they could straighten it out even if it was crooked. How difficult can a young lady be to control?"

Hua Tai: "My son thinks that tough measures will not work on Hua Jiu Niang, and may even backfire."

The clan elder sneered at this remark. He believed that everyone would surrender under a heavy punch. As long as the fist was hard enough, even the hardest bones could be smashed to pieces.

"Okay, let's not talk about Hua Jiuniang anymore. A young lady can't influence anything. As long as Hua Bin still wants to prove himself in front of the tribe members, we can achieve our goal through him."

Afterwards, the patriarch talked about the affairs of the Bo Mansion with Hua Tai and Hua Mingzhe.

When Hua Hongchen and Hua Hongtao saw that there was nothing for them to do, they winked at Hua Wanyue, and the three siblings left the house one after another.

"Wanyue, you have met Hua Jiuniang in the Medical Department. What do you think of her?"

Hua Wanyue thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Hua Jiu's medical skills are indeed impeccable, but I don't like her as a person. She is too arrogant. Even when Shu Ran from the Prince's family took the initiative to get closer to her, she just ignored him."

Hua Hongchen asked again: "I heard that she is quite famous in the Medical Department?"

Hua Wanyue sneered: "What kind of fame is that? She just taught the servants in the Servants' Hall for a period of time. No one in the Medical Department has taught like this before, so she became famous."

"Do you know that the director's two apprentices and Xin Guogong's Gu Jinfan are now giving lectures in the Medical Department. After they started, Hua Jiuniang had no place to go." "When Hua Jiuniang gave lectures, only some servants went to listen. But when Gu Jinfan and his friends gave lectures, the entire Medical Department was mobilized. It was hard to get a seat. Who still remembers Hua Jiuniang now?"

After hearing this, Hua Hongtao said directly: "Father asked us to take the initiative to make friends with Hua Jiuniang, I think we should forget it."

Hua Hongchen: "You still have to save face."

At the same time, Mr. He San also brought Hua Wuniang and the child back to Wuyihou Mansion.

"Wu Niang, take the child back to your room first. I will go to greet my father and mother."

Looking at the receding figure of Mr. He Sanye, Hua Wuniang looked a little lonely. Her treatment in the He family had indeed improved, but it was only limited to food and drink.

The Third Master had never taken her to the main courtyard to meet the Marquis and his wife, and he never told her about the He family. Although the Marquis and his wife sent gifts every month, they had never come out to see Xiaoman. When there were gatherings at home or when relatives and friends came over, she was never allowed to attend.

Today, the Third Master took the initiative to offer to accompany her back to her parents' home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although she was overjoyed, she also guessed that he had other intentions. Judging from his performance at the Hua family today, he was going for Jiu Niang.

When Hua Wuniang thought of Jiuniang's temperament, a worried look appeared on her face. She could sense that no matter what the Third Master wanted from Jiuniang, he would not get what he wanted.

"Hey"

Hua Wuniang lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms, murmuring, "I hope that Master San will not take his anger out on us when the time comes."

In the main courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, Mr. He San also told the He family everything he had experienced in the Hua family.

After hearing this, Wu Yihou laughed out loud: "When a capable person appears in the family, the first ones to jump out to hinder him are actually his own family members. This is really ridiculous and sad."

After laughing, Marquis Wu Yi straightened his face again: "That Hua Changxi will definitely be a figure in the future. Although she is a young lady and a junior, she is not judged by outsiders and is not influenced by the feelings of her family. These are not things that ordinary people can do."

After hearing this, the Marquis’ wife disagreed and said, “Such a person is too cold and heartless.”

Wu Yihou shook his head: "If you want to accomplish great things, you can't be disturbed too much."

Madam Hou: "Hua Jiuniang is just a little girl. What great things can she do? In my opinion, she is just a little bit more capable. But she can't even get along well with her family. It's conceivable that she will be difficult to get along with in front of outsiders. Such a person is suitable to be a lone ranger and can't accomplish anything."

Wu Yihou agreed with this and looked at his two granddaughters: "Sirong, Siqi, what do you think of Hua Changxi?"

He Sirong thought for a moment and said, "Hua Changxi is indeed a little too eccentric."

He Siqi also talked about the comparison between Hua Changxi's lectures and those of Gu Jinfan, Mu Qingying, and Yuan Tianchou: "Hua Changxi's lectures are just simple lectures. Although he has networked with some people, they are all menial tasks and are of no use."

"Although Gu Jinfan and the other two did not give lectures as long as Hua Changxi, they made many friends through this and gained much more than Hua Changxi."

"As for reputation in the Medical Department, Gu Jinfan and the other two are now well-known to everyone in the Medical Department, but as for Hua Changxi, perhaps only the clerks in the Miscellaneous Hall still remember her."

He Sirong added: "My granddaughter thinks that whether it is medical skills or alchemy, Hua Changxi is definitely better than Gu Jinfan and the other two. When she teaches, she takes care of the chores and teaches basic medical knowledge; while Gu Jinfan and the other two teach about spiritual plants and spiritual pills, which makes them more popular than Hua Changxi."

"My granddaughter thinks that if Hua Changxi is willing to teach about spiritual plants and spiritual pills, she will definitely not lose to Gu Jinfan and the other two. But for some reason, she has never taken a class on spiritual plants and spiritual pills."

Wu Yihou looked at his two granddaughters and asked, "You still think highly of Hua Changxi?"

He Sirong and He Siqi nodded at the same time without any hesitation.

He Sirong: "My granddaughter thinks Hua Changxi is very unique. Although it is not easy to make friends with him, people can't help but pay attention to him."

He Siqi: "Hua Changxi was fully engaged during the lecture, asked questions, and shared her insights without reservation. My granddaughter feels very lucky to have attended her class."

After hearing this, Marquis Wu Yi looked at Mr. He San and said, "Old Third, the relationship with the Hua family cannot be severed. Let your concubine come back to her parents' home more often in the future." He paused and said, "Remember to bring the child with you."

After hearing this, Mr. He San nodded in agreement.

Wu Yihou added: "We still need to obtain the Hua family's body-refining technique as soon as possible. If the He family army starts to practice body-refining, they will definitely become a force that people will fear in the future."

Mr. He thought of Hua Changxi's attitude towards him and said with difficulty: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

Marquis Wuyi was silent for a moment, then turned to look at his wife, "Let Hua Wuniang also come to meet guests in the future. If we have any banquets, we should also send invitations to the Hua family."

"In-laws should help each other. Let's be nice to Hua Wu Niang. It won't be good for the Hua family to not give anything in return, right?"
