Blossoms in Adversity 惜花芷 Episode 4

Lin Wan was very grateful to Shen Qi and the others for their help. Chen Zhi told Lin Wan that the government had made up its mind, and now it was best to quickly purchase fertile land and gather tenant farmers. In addition, it was necessary to rent several houses in the city for shelter. Xia Jin'e was the lady in charge of the house, so Chen Zhi began to discuss specific matters with her. Shen Qi explained the appointment, and Hua Zhi said calmly that what happened yesterday was in vain and there was no need to mention it again in the future. Lin Wan very much agreed with Chen Zhi's proposal, so the ladies and even the maids handed over their jewelry and money to them, and they were asked to buy land and houses. Huazhi disagreed and said that she could also come forward to do these things. However, her mother stopped her, saying that her daughter's family, who had not left the government, could not be exposed to the public. There was not enough money, so Shen Qi put in all the money and jade pendants she had. Chen Zhi also swore to God that he would make up the rest to help them handle this matter. In order to make them feel at ease, Yu Zhengyao was responsible for supervision. After they left, Hua Zhi was still worried, so she told Uncle Zhong to follow Chen Zhi.

Gu Yanxi went to Qisu Division to familiarize himself with the environment. After the Secretary took the chief seat, he took off his mask. Chen Qing gave Gu Yanxi a drink, and unexpectedly discovered that he was the person she was in trouble for on the street, so she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. Chen Zhi knew that Uncle Zhong was watching him at the gate, so he went out through the side door. Gu Yanxi asked deputy envoy Yuan Qi why he bypassed the envoy and went to the palace secretly to sue Qi Ruhai. Yuan Qi showed off his qualifications and looked domineering, and also said that he knew Gu Yanxi's family affairs. Gu Yanxi told him calmly that in the eighth year of Chengtian's reign, his maternal grandfather's family rebelled. In order not to involve too many lives, the official family kept it secret, thus saving his mother and many officials in the court. He had known about this since he was a child. Yuan Qi saw that he could not threaten him, so he handed over his waist card as required, but when he put down his sword, he still wanted to fight to the death. Fortunately, Gu Yanxi was well prepared and was skilled enough. Not only was he unscathed, but he also successfully killed Yuan Qi. .

Gu Yanxi used Yuan Qi's death to tell all the Qisu guards that betraying the envoy would not end well. The chief minister is loyal to the official family, and the Qisu Wei should be loyal to the chief minister. From now on, he has the final say in Qisusi, and everyone must follow his rules. Chen Qing begged Gu Yanxi for mercy, but Zheng Hu, who didn't know what was going on, spoke up. Gu Yanxi thought Zheng Hu was good, so he asked him to take over the post of deputy envoy. Shen Huan saw Shen Qi's jade pendant in the casino and thought he was secretly gambling, so he redeemed it and showed it to his father. Hua Zhi went to Chen Zhijin's pawnshop that day and found that Chen Zhi was lying, so she went to the pawnshop owned by Chen Zhijin's family and met Shen Qi at the door. Shen Qi took the jade pendant and told something strange. It was clear that the jade pendant had been pawned, but her brother was gambling. Fang saw it.

Chen Zhi went to Lin Wan again and said that he still had a little money left. If he could sell the Hua family's collection of books, he could buy a four-bedroom mansion. Lin Wan and Xia Jin'e had no doubts. Just when Chen Zhi was holding the book and was about to leave, Hua Zhi came back. She took out Shen Qi's jade pendant to expose Chen Zhi's bad gambling character to his face. It turned out that she and Uncle Zhong had already found Yu Zhengyao and Chen Zhi worked with him to defraud the Hua family of property just for gambling. When Chen Zhi saw that the matter was exposed, he drove a carriage and wanted to run away. Hua Zhi was so anxious that she called out the Qisu Guards who had been watching them and said that she wanted to surrender. After Qisuwei stopped the carriage, Hua Zhi confessed that they took the money out of the house without authorization when they ransacked the house that day, and now it was all hidden in the pawn shop by Chen Zhi. Qisuwei saw that the matter was not simple, so he took Chen Zhi and Hua Zhi back.

Gu Yanxi was competing with the Qisu guards in the Qisu Division, and his extraordinary skills convinced his subordinates. At this time, someone came to report that a batch of Hua family property had been confiscated. Gu Yanxi ordered Huazhi to be released, but Huazhi refused to leave and asked to see the envoy. Gu Yanxi put on a mask to summon her, and Hua Zhi asked the envoy to return the manuscript to Hua's house. Gu Yanxi said that she wanted to read Meihua Yishu to relieve her boredom. Hua Zhi became nervous because it contained Hua Yizheng's latest manuscript. Gu Yanxi caught Hua Zhi's strange behavior but did not reveal it. He only sent someone to return all the books to Hua Zhi. Shen Qi came to Zihuangju again to apologize to the Hua family, but unexpectedly learned that Huazhi was taken away by Qisusi and left in a hurry.
