Chapter 118 A Gentleman Does Not Care About Small Things
Yan Youzhi, Qi Xia, Li Rutian and Qiu Riyi never thought that Hua Xin would take them to the Opera House!
Since they went through the back door, with Nangong Ziqiu leading the way, they went through many twists and turns and arrived at a side room.
The interior was elegantly decorated, with a vase of flowers placed on the bank and a few plain cloth cushions casually placed on the ground.
Even the utensils containing tea and snacks were quite unique, with gauze curtains hanging around them, making it hidden and warm, so no one noticed anything unusual.
Yan Youzhi and the others looked around awkwardly. It seemed that apart from studying, they hardly ever went out. So although they were curious, they suppressed their inner excitement and behaved relatively calmly.
Hua Xin sat down directly on the futon and looked up at them.
"I already understand Youzhi's situation. Who among you will go first?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Riyi naturally volunteered.
"I'll go first!"
Hua Xin nodded.
Qiu Riyi sat down opposite her, stretched out his hand, and wanted to look at Hua Xin, but he was a little afraid. In the end, he just looked at the table in front of him, quietly waiting for the result.
Hua Xin took Yan Youzhi's pulse and found that it was similar to Yan Youzhi's, just bloated.
"No big problem, I just ate too much and didn't exercise enough, so I got fat."
"Please trouble you, Princess."
Qiu Riyi withdrew his hand, only to feel a slight heat at the place where she had just taken his pulse.
"Don't call me princess in private. If you don't mind, just call me Miss Hua!"
Qiu Riyi was stunned and looked at her without saying anything.
"How can we do this? You are a princess appointed by the emperor himself. Everyone who sees you must show respect. We were rude before, but now that we know this, we are still rude, aren't we even more rude?"
Qi Xia disagreed.
Hua Xin glanced at him for a moment longer, and then said, "Whether it is rude or not is up to me to decide. Don't worry, I will pardon you."
Qiu Riyi, who was standing by, heard that this young lady probably didn't like rules, so he followed her meaning and said, "Qi Xia, don't be so persistent. A gentleman doesn't care about trivial matters. I'm sure Miss Hua means the same thing."
"That's right, Mr. Qiu is the better choice. Come on, Mr. Qi."
Seeing this, Qi Xia also stretched out his hand.
"Master Qi seems to be a little sleep deprived. He seems to be working very hard! But there are no major problems."
Hua Xin withdrew her hand, and finally it was Li Rutian's turn.
Li Rutan was a timid and shy person. He sat opposite Hua Xin and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first."
Seeing that Li Rutan looked a little scared, Hua Xin's voice became much gentler.
The final result is basically the same. Everyone eats too much and consumes too much sugar, which leads to obesity.
"Listen to my advice, control your diet from now on, otherwise your health will be in trouble when you take the autumn exam."
Hua Xin thought of some weight loss prescriptions, so she asked Nangong Ziqiu to go out and get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"I have a weight loss recipe here. If you believe me, you can go get the medicine and boil it to eat. If you don't believe me, that's fine."
"Miss Hua, you mean that we all have problems because we eat too much. Then do all the students in the academy have this problem? Is there something wrong with our food? Or is it the snacks?"
Qiu Riyi naturally realized that the problem might not just be caused by eating too much, they had to eliminate it from the source.
"This is not something I can find out. After all, I can't enter your academy, and I can't see the meals and snacks you eat."
Hua Xin said helplessly.
"That's easy. Tomorrow we each hide some food and bring it out after school. Miss Hua will check it again. How about that?"
Qiu Riyi didn't know why, but he always felt that Hua Xin was trustworthy. No matter how bad the rumors from the outside world were, he believed in his own intuition.
"That's fine. How about I wait for you at the tea shop opposite the academy at the same time tomorrow?"
After Hua Xin finished speaking, Nangong Ziqiu had already come in with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
He wrote down three prescriptions in a fluent manner, then turned to Yan Youzhi and said, "Youzhi, let's go back to the mansion later, and I'll ask your mother to make medicine for you."
Yan Youzhi was suddenly called and said hurriedly, "Yes, Miss."
His serious look made Hua Xin chuckle, but stunned everyone in the room.
"Okay, it's getting late. If you don't go home, your family will probably come out to look for you."
Hua Xin was right. Several servants failed to pick up the person, so they started looking for him.
Fortunately, Nangong Ziqiu took them out in time, avoiding a farce of searching for people.
Qiu Riyi just paid attention to the route and always felt that the place where they were was a bit strange.
"Master, aren't you going back yet?" Qiu Riyi's personal servant was called Afu, a tall and thin man. He was very anxious when no one showed up just now. Now seeing that his master was still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Afu, do you know if there is a teahouse at the intersection of Xuanwu Street and Zhuque Street if you go straight along this street, turn the corner, cross Hai'er Lane, and then go west?"
Ah Fu scratched his head and said, "Sir, there is no teahouse there. The most famous one is of course the Actor's House. It is adjacent to the Duobao Pavilion, Liuli Square and Caiyi Square on the left, and the Qingjiu House and Haocai Casino on the right, but there is no teahouse there."
"Actor's House?"
Qiu Riyi's eyes widened. If his guess was correct, they had just come out from the back door of the Opera House?
"Come on, follow me and take another look."
Qiu Riyi is the kind of person who must solve the problem immediately once he has a suspicion. Since he has already suspected it, he will go and find out the truth.
Yan Youzhi naturally followed Hua Xin and Nangong Ziqiu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But along the way, he wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, which made Nangong Ziqiu anxious.
"Do you have something to say to Xinxin?"
He and Yan Youzhi were not familiar with each other, and the only interaction they had was because of Hua Xin, so the object of his behavior was naturally Hua Xin.
"I... Miss, I have prepared a thank-you gift for you. I haven't had the chance to give it to you before. Can I give it to you when I go back later?"
Hua Xin paused, turned around and asked, "Thank you gift? What thank you gift?"
"Of course it was a thank you gift for treating me. I was in a coma at the time and had no way to express my gratitude to the young lady. Later, when I woke up, my mother told me that it was you and the young master who saved me, so..."
"So you prepared a thank-you gift for me?"
What kind of thank you can a half-grown child give?
If she refused, would it hurt the child's feelings?
Since they are all from her family, why not just agree?
After some psychological preparation, Hua Xin readily agreed.
"Okay! Give it to me when you get back."
When one of Yan You heard Hua Xin agreed, he immediately jumped up and acted even more like a child.
In Hua Xin's eyes, it was like a glutinous rice ball that suddenly jumped up, and bounced back a few times when it landed. It was a bit cute.
