Qu Moying got up early the next morning. This time she went to Dabei Temple with two maids again, and left the affairs of the courtyard to Miao Ma.
She felt relieved with Nanny Miao around.
When I arrived at the lady's yard, I found that Yu's mother and daughter had already arrived early, but the lady had not yet gotten up.
There were many servants coming and going, and they spoke in low voices as if they were afraid of startling anyone.
"Greetings, Second Madam. What happened to grandma?" Qu Moying came over and bowed, then asked.
"Madam is not feeling well. She caught a cold last night." Yu looked worried.
"Then not going today?" Qu Moying's heart moved.
"It's not that great. Your grandmother is getting up. She just told us to wait. We still have to go in a while." Yu whispered, "You sit aside first and wait for a while."
Qu Moying nodded and sat down beside him. Soon the two young ladies from the East Mansion also came over.
They usually brought two servants, one to take care of their daily life and the other to follow them around.
Miss Qu Xuexin looked at Wen Liang with a friendly smile on her face. She smiled before she spoke, and was very kind. Qu Moying had also heard about Miss Qu's gentle nature in his previous life. At that time, she was Ji Hanyue, and she was surrounded by the top young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital. Qu Xuexin could not even reach her level.
I just heard that Miss Qu has a very good temper and always greets everyone with a smile. Although her appearance is not as good as Qu Qiuyan, she is also a gentle and amiable lady.
The second lady, Qu Caiyue, had a slightly pointed face and looked similar to Qu Xuexin, but with a bit more charm. When she looked at Qu Moying, there was an unconcealed sarcasm in her eyes, and she looked like someone who was difficult to get along with. She sat next to Qu Moying and looked him up and down very rudely. Although she didn't say anything, her behavior showed disdain.
She looked down on Qu Moying, thinking that she was blind, ugly, and had a bad reputation. It was really embarrassing to sit next to her. If it wasn't for her second aunt's order, she wouldn't want to get close to Qu Moying, as it was very unlucky.
The lady's movements were fairly quick, but she was still much later than the scheduled time. Her face did not look good, she looked listless and listless.
After eating a small bowl of porridge, he stood up and walked out, followed closely by his granddaughters.
When they arrived outside the mansion, the carriages had already been parked there. There were four carriages. The lady's carriage was the largest, and the two behind it were similar. The last one was for a few servants.
The lady helped my nanny get on the carriage with her help. She didn't have the energy to say anything. She just lay down with her eyes closed.
"Madam, do you want to ask Miss Four to come over?" asked my nanny. This was something the Madam had already prepared.
"No need. I'm sick and I don't want to pass the disease to her." The lady said weakly.
"Yes, I'll go and arrange it!" Wu Ma nodded and ordered someone to bring up the cushions they brought and put them on the Madam. Then she turned around and said to Yu, "Second Madam, the Madam is not feeling well, so she won't let the other ladies come. The two carriages are just right for four ladies."
"Don't worry, Madam. I will arrange it. You can go upstairs and serve the Madam first!" Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.
My nanny held the little maid's hand and got on the carriage.
Qu Xuexin came out and got on the second carriage first, and Qu Qiuyan followed her. The two of them occupied the second carriage. Qu Caiyue and Qu Moying who came out later got on the third carriage.
The last carriage not only had servants
, there were also some incense sticks for burning incense, as well as some things that the ladies couldn’t carry in the front, it was very crowded!
Following Qu Moying into the carriage was Yu Dong, and Yu Chun was in the carriage behind.
Qu Caiyue also brought a maid, followed by a old woman.
The maids beside Yudong and Qu Qiuyue were holding a package in their hands, ready to put it in the carriage.
After the two men came in and sat down, the two maids sat down on both sides close to their respective masters, and the two packages were also placed together.
The carriage prepared by the Qu family was not small. It was not too crowded for four people to sit in, and it could also accommodate two packages.
After everyone was seated, the carriage slowly turned in a circle and left Qu Mansion.
"Fourth sister, have you been to see the peach forest in Dabei Temple?" Qu Caiyue asked with a smile, her attitude quite kind.
Qu Moying shook his head: "No!"
She hardly even left the village before, so how could she possibly go to Dabei Temple
"That's a pity. The peach blossoms at Dabei Temple are famous for their beauty. The peaches that will be harvested in a while will be very sweet, but we won't buy them. We'll only give them to pilgrims." Qu Caiyue said with regret, "Wait until autumn, and then we'll ask grandma to take us there again. Then we can eat the sweet peaches."
"Grandma is sick." Qu Moying lowered his eyes.
"Grandma, this is an old illness. It's nothing serious." Qu Caiyue said nonchalantly, "She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"What's this old illness of grandma's?" Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat.
"It's just that my health is not good. I have an old ailment that comes back occasionally. I can't tell what it is, but it seems to be palpitations. I can't be impatient, can't get angry, and can't get upset. Maybe my grandmother is angry because of you! Such a good marriage is gone just like that. Where can I find such a good marriage in the future!"
Qu Caiyue said.
These words sound very kind, but their meaning is very heartbreaking.
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at the second Miss Qu opposite him. She had a smile on her face and looked friendly, but the disdain that flashed in her eyes from time to time made it clear that she didn't like him at all.
"Grandma's health has always been poor?" Qu Moying ignored the other meanings in Qu Qiuyue's words and just asked along with the previous words, as if he didn't understand Qu Caiyue's words with ulterior motives.
"Grandmother has always been in good health, but this time she was really angry. She called off such a good marriage just like that. What will you do in the future? Which family will marry you? Even if there is, it is impossible for them to be as good as Master Xu." Qu Caiyue said, with a hint of gloating in her eyes.
Qu Moying is obviously inferior to herself in every way, but just because of what her mother said at the time, she was arranged to have such a good marriage. It is really enviable. When she came here several times before, she had seen this Master Xu. She only thought that Master Xu was elegant and gentle, and was really the best candidate for a husband. But why was he given to Qu Moying
For this reason, she had come here more often, hoping to meet Master Xu more often. It would be great if Master Xu could marry her. However, Master Xu ignored her and turned a blind eye to her again and again. Qu Caiyue then gave up the idea. Now she regretted it more and more. She should have kept pestering Master Xu at the beginning. Maybe she would be the one marrying Master Xu now.
If she were the fiancée of Master Xu, she would definitely not let Master Xu save Miss Duan Er. That woman's reputation was really not good among the young ladies of noble families. She was just a hot-tempered woman who didn't know etiquette. Since Master Xu
If he is willing to marry her, then of course he will be willing to marry me too.
I just regretted that I didn't think of Miss Duan's idea. I accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Master Xu.
Yes, people are saying now that it was Second Miss Duan who plotted and deliberately fell into the water in front of Master Xu. Otherwise, how could the fence become loose? It must be her fault. She is the only one who benefited from this incident.
Seeing that she repeatedly brought up his marriage, Qu Moying was speechless. He glanced at her indifferently, leaned his head back, and stopped talking.
"Fourth sister, it's such a pity that Master Xu is getting married to you. Everyone in the capital knows that Master Xu is a rare young talent, and he has been keeping an unequal engagement, but he has never thought of canceling the engagement. Now Duan Jinxiang has taken advantage of him. Fourth sister, if it were me, I would definitely not let Duan Jinxiang have an easy time."
Qu Caiyue was still talking, as if she didn't notice Qu Moying's slightly frowned brows.
"Second Miss, our young lady is tired and wants to take a rest." Yu Dong said with a smile, interrupting Qu Caiyue's chattering.
"Hey, how can you talk like that, little girl? Your fourth young lady and I are sisters. We're just chatting along the way. What's wrong with that?" Qu Caiyue was furious. She had always felt inferior in front of the young ladies. Now she finally had a chance to show off and make sarcastic remarks in front of Qu Moying, the legitimate daughter. However, she was interrupted by a maid. She was immediately furious.
"If you want to talk, second sister, you can go to the car in front." Qu Moying said lightly without opening his eyes.
Qu Caiyue's face changed drastically. She always liked to follow behind Qu Qiuyan and help to humiliate those who were not as good as her. Now, she was actually told to drive away by Qu Moying, who looked down on her. She was so angry that her face turned blue and her temper was immediately out of control.
Towards people who are more powerful than her, she has a very good temper and will always put on a smiling face no matter what they say. She will even offer her right cheek if she is hit on the left cheek, such as when the other person is Qu Qiuyan. But for people like Qu Moying, whom she has always looked down upon, it is difficult for her to suppress her temper and she will be on the verge of losing her temper.
The maid tugged hard at her sleeves twice, and Qu Caiyue remembered what Qu Qiuyan had told her before. Her expression softened a little, but still contained some hatred.
"Fourth sister, you are such a powerful maid. You even dare to meddle in the master's affairs." Although she had things to do, Qu Caiyue couldn't help but sneer in a sarcastic tone.
"I'm eager to protect my master!" Qu Moying said, leaning against the window, his eyes clear and leisurely.
She already knew what kind of person Qu Caiyue was from just a few words. She didn't want to say anything more to her at this moment. What she was thinking about was the health of the old lady. She still had the old illness. The problem of palpitations could be serious or minor. If one was not careful, it could easily cause a serious illness such as a stroke, and might even be life-threatening. It should not be underestimated.
I should give my grandmother some medicine to soothe her palpitations! Or I could make some soothing spices!
"Fifth sister's package is quite big. What's in it? Can I take a look?" Seeing that Qu Moying didn't want to pay attention to her, Qu Caiyue became more and more angry. Her eyes swept over the package at Yudong's feet. She suddenly squatted down, reached out to take it, and said.
She was now sitting next to Qu Moying in a "nice and gentle" manner, just because of this package. Third sister said that after this matter was completed, she would definitely benefit from it, and it would even help her to achieve her wish. How could Qu Caiyue not do such a great thing...
What's so difficult about Qu Moying? The only person in this mansion who is worse than me is Qu Moying...
