Hua Jingyao understood that there were many marriages between aristocratic families, and the Zhang family and the Qin family were in-laws. In the royal family, Xiaozong came from the Qin family in this life. In this way, the Zhang family and the royal family became relatives. The Hua family, which is of barbarian blood, was completely out of touch with these aristocratic families. Her father Hua Yukun went to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Zhang and could chat with Zhang Ruoxi for a few words, which must be because of the relationship between Princess Zhaoyang.

"That's because you and my mother have not divorced yet, right?" Hua Jingyao asked with a smile.

Hua Yukun was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and scolded: "I knowingly asked, I'm naughty, so naughty."

Hua Jingyao grimaced at him, pulled Xiaoli and ran away, leaving Hua Yukun standing alone in the yard with sad wind and autumn.

The cat was carried out by Xiao Ai to inquire about the news, and Hua Jingyao and Xiao Li walked into a Bimo Shop.

She visited this shop once, bought a few brushes for her father, and also bought a stack of flower papers.

The guy still remembered her. When he saw her coming again, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Girl, there is a new flower note in the shop. I'll see if there is anything that suits my wish."

Hua Jingyao pretended to look at the flower papers one by one, three points of pickiness and seven points of disappointment, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Scholars do not need flower papers to write articles. Flower papers are expensive, so they are sold to women in the boudoir to forcefully say they are worried about writing new poems.

The guy looked at his words and expressions and knew at a glance that Hua Jingyao was a rich man. Since he was a repeat customer, it means that the girl lives nearby, 100% of the girl who grew up in a scholarly family, and the orchid in the valley with a poetic and literary spirit.

"If the girl is not in a hurry, there will be a new orchid and bihe lottery in two days. However, both of these have been written by famous artists. There is no price for the market. If the girl wants to collect it, she can still place an order now."

Hua Jingyao secretly curled her lips, and the market is priceless, just coax me, what famous artist would sell the flower papers he had painted in his hand here. Last time I showed my father the flower papers I bought, and he said it was the students in the academy who drew them to make pocket money, and they were not very good at paintings.

"Do you have kitten paper?" Hua Jingyao asked softly.

"What?" The guy was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrong, "Is the girl asking about Wei Tujian?"

"No, I'm talking about cats, second only to tigers." Hua Jingyao explained patiently.

The guy finally understood, it was a cat. Did the ladies in the capital have popularized drawing cats on flower papers? I have to tell my boss quickly.

"The girl wants a kitten sign, yes, of course, yes, but you also need to book." The guy said, then took out a big book from under the counter, holding a pen in one hand and spreading it evenly with the other hand, and this was a deposit.

"Miss, deposit five taels."

It’s just a flower note, and the deposit is only 5 taels. Why don’t you grab it?

"Your painters are also good at drawing cats? I like cats the most. Are there any talented people living nearby who keep cats? People who are good at drawing cats are all good at drawing cats. If people who don't keep cats say they are good at drawing cats, they must be nonsense." Hua Jingyao said, taking out a silver note and a small ingot of silver.

The silver bill is five taels, and the small ingot of silver also has one tael.

"Girl, this is..." The guy held the silver in his palm and grabbed it tightly.

"Didn't I ask you? Are there any talented people living here who are good at drawing cats?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"Yes, yes, but I didn't live here. He is a student in the academy, named Miao Hong, and often comes to buy brushes, ink and paint. I heard from the young people that he is good at painting cats, and the cats he paints are well-known in Lixiangyuan."

Lixiangyuan is also nearby. It was originally a pear tree garden. The reason why it became famous is that it was a place where literati and scholars commented on calligraphy and painting.

"Then does he keep a cat?" Hua Jingyao asked again.

The guy shook his head: "I don't know this little one, but he lives in the academy and shouldn't be able to keep cats."

"Then is anyone raising cats nearby?" Hua Jingyao asked again.

The guy shook his head again and said, "The girl also knows that everyone who can live here is a scholar. The cats and dogs are all in their yards, and the young ones can't see them, but we have a cat in our shop."

As he said that, the guy shouted loudly: "Cuihua, Cuihua!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cat's cry and a fat and strong cat walked out of the inner room calmly.

"Don't this cat usually goes out?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"I can't go out, but I'm lazy. I'm in the back hall on weekdays, except eating or sleeping, and at most I'm wandering around the back of the house." The guy said, picking up the cat and putting it on the counter.

Hua Jingyao pulled Xiaoli and said, "Go and smell it."

Xiaoli leaned over and smelled the cat from beginning to end in the guy's surprise gaze, and then shook her head: "It's not the same smell."

"Okay, I'll leave first. After the kitten paper arrives, you can deliver it to Mr. Hua San's mansion in Zheluxiang." After that, Hua Jingyao took Xiaoli out of the shop.

The guy was surprised and unsure. It turned out to be the lady in the famous handsome man, Mr. Hua San's mansion. This is really a heavy taste. Give him a tael of silver to make a cat.

The Lixiangyuan doesn’t open every day, but it just happens not to open today. Hua Jingyao wanted to see the cat painted by Miao Hong, but it seemed that she couldn’t see it.

She took Xiaoli back. As soon as she entered the door, Xiaoai came back with the cat.

"Girl, I asked several people, all of whom said I had never seen this cat before. I just saw it recently. Like us, I saw it in Zhelu Lane. I asked the people in Xibi Lane again. Some said I didn't pay attention, and some said I had never seen it. I didn't see the little girl in Shanshui Lane, so I didn't find it."

Hua Jingyao was already very satisfied. Xiao Ai became more and more clever, not bad.

After a while, Shi Ding and Qing Yu also came back. Shi Ding said to Qing Yu: "I'm stupid, please tell me."

Qingyu smiled and did not refuse. He and A, B, C and D were very familiar with each other. The girl asked him to go with Shi Ding, just to let him speak for Shi Ding.

"When I go back to the girl, there are no locks in Xibi Lane. There are three locks in Zhelu Lane. One is Chen Ju Ren's family. Needless to say, there is another one in Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang teaches in Shuren Academy. He only has one scholar. The master and servant either buy food or eat in the academy. The house does not open fire and there is no rude woman. When he takes the scholar to the academy, the family is locked. There is only one locked door in Shanshui Lane, which is the house next to Zhang Shane. Zhang Shane is not short of money, so he is not rented out. A few years ago, a gentleman from the academy lived there. Later, the gentleman moved out, and the house was empty and there was no one living there. The girl's book also said."

Hua Jingyao remembers this. When her father was looking for a house in this area, he asked someone for information about the house. He heard that he wanted to rent a lot, but he didn't lack money and didn't want to rent it out.
