The package was opened, revealing only a few simple pieces of clothing and a few smaller packages inside. There wasn't much in total.
"Second Miss, why did you mess up our young lady's package?" Yu Dong said with a fierce face and reached out to pull the package back.
"Is there something wrong, Second Sister?" Qu Moying asked coldly. Although he couldn't see her eyes, he could hear the coldness in her words.
Qu Caiyue's hands froze, she was stunned by the question of the master and servant. It was not until she saw Yu Dong packing the package again that she realized that she was frightened by the master and servant whom she despised the most. She became angry and embarrassed for a moment.
"Fourth sister, I just want to see what you have. If you need anything, I can help you fill it. Why is it that my kindness is not rewarded in your case? What good things can you get from someone like you?"
Qu Caiyue said sarcastically.
"Thank you for your kindness, second sister. I don't need anything!" Qu Moying said lightly, ignoring the harsh sarcasm on her face.
Qu Caiyue had not met many people like her in her previous life. After all, she was the future wife of the prince, and no one dared to offend her. Many people were very respectful in front of her, but that did not mean that she did not know there were such people.
She was just a concubine's daughter, and her status was lower than that of ordinary young ladies from aristocratic families. However, she resented her low status and felt that she was inferior to her sisters. As a result, she was always mean and harsh to others, and even stepped on her sisters who were in a bad situation. She could even be said to be vicious.
At the moment, this Second Miss Qu should be such a person.
"How can there be enough clothes? We only have so few! I heard that we will stay here for quite a while, and grandma is sick now. She will have to rest for a while after going up the mountain. How can these few clothes be enough? It just so happens that I brought a few extra clothes, so I will kindly give you one!"
No one knew what she was thinking of, but Qu Caiyue's face, which was sarcastic and mocking just now, became amiable, and her tone became generous. She waved her hand and said, "Just now I just wanted to see if there were enough clothes in Fourth Sister's package. If there is anything I can't do, please forgive me."
Qu Caiyue laughed after she finished speaking.
The maid beside her obediently opened their packages, took out a small package from it and handed it to Yudong.
After Yudong packed up his own packages, he didn't take it and looked up at Qu Moying.
"Fourth sister, why are you being so polite to each other?" Qu Caiyue smiled kindly. If she hadn't been almost uncontrollable in her harshness and contempt just now, Qu Moying would have almost believed it.
After a moment of silence, seeing that the smile on Qu Caiyue's face was almost frozen, Qu Moying said lightly, "Thank you, second sister."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said, "Second sister, I'm tired and want to rest for a while!"
Yudong reached out and took the small package.
"Okay, then fourth sister, take a rest. The road is still long. I'll lean back and take a nap too!" Qu Caiyue said with a smile. She glanced at Yu Dong who was packing up and couldn't help revealing a hint of satisfaction on her face. This matter was indeed simple. Second Aunt had specifically instructed her several times. Wasn't it just giving her a piece of clothing
Now that the task was completed, she didn't want to talk to Qu Moying anymore. Leaning on a cushion beside her, Qu Caiyue also became drowsy.
After her maid tidied the packages at hand, she also leaned back and fell asleep in a daze.
The carriage became quiet, everyone was sleeping, the atmosphere was just right, and Qu Moying himself felt as if he had really fallen asleep. He had gotten up early today and waited for a long time at the lady's place, so he was indeed feeling sleepy now.
I was in a daze when I suddenly felt someone pulling my sleeve. I opened my eyes.
When Jing saw Yudong, he closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again and his gaze fell on a package at his feet.
The small package was the one obtained from Qu Caiyue.
There was a piece of clothing inside. Even without touching it, one could tell that it was very gorgeous and made of good material. It was better than any of Qu Moying's own pieces.
A hint of sadness flashed across her watery eyes. Qu Qiuyan also asked her to bring a piece of clothing that day, and this material looked more like Qu Qiuyan's material.
Although the lady asked him to choose the same batch of materials when making clothes, the ones sent to him were often already selected. The good materials were kept in Qu Qiuyan's hands, and the ones he got were relatively worse. The material for making clothes now looked different from any other material he had ever seen.
Yu Dong pointed at Qu Caiyue's package opposite him.
The package was placed at the feet of the maid opposite.
Qu Moying nodded. Of course she didn't want this package of unknown origin. Qu Caiyue was helping Yu's company, so she had to be more careful.
With Yudong around, she was able to sleep peacefully for a while. No one talked and everyone was tired, so Qu Caiyue and the maid must have fallen asleep as well.
Yudong quickly untied the package opposite him, stuffed the small package inside, and then tied it up quickly. Qu Moying watched him do everything before nodding.
The master and servant opposite were still sleeping in a daze, and neither of them knew that the small package had returned to their hands.
The carriage went all the way out of the city, and when it arrived at Dabei Temple, it was almost time for lunch.
The carriage stopped in the parking lot outside the mountain gate of Dabei Temple. That area was full of pilgrims' carriages. It was obvious that there were so many pilgrims that the parking lot was almost full.
The old lady got off the carriage first. Her condition had not been good during the journey, so my nanny hurriedly arranged for her to stay.
The courtyard they were to live in was decided early on, and the monk in charge of reception led them there. The lady lived in the center, Qu Xuexin and Qu Moying lived on her right, and Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue lived on her left.
It is called a courtyard, but in fact it is just a main house, two side rooms, and a small courtyard outside.
The courtyards are close to each other, yet not too crowded.
Lunch was ready. The lady ate a little and then asked them to leave. She wanted to rest for a while. She originally thought that it was not a big problem, but she didn't expect to feel so uncomfortable.
Qu Moying helped the lady to go to bed, and then returned to the courtyard assigned to him.
Lunch has been delivered. This is the first day. The monk in charge of receiving guests has just said that lunch will still be delivered in the next few days, but if you want to eat something else, you have to go and ask the kitchen of Dabei Temple yourself.
There were three dishes and one soup, all of which were vegetarian, but they tasted great. Qu Moying was also hungry, so he ate a few more bites today.
After lunch, the two maids also left, and Yuchun took the lunch basket and empty plates and bowls to the kitchen.
"Have you found anything?" Qu Moying took Yu Dong's tea, took a sip and asked.
"I didn't find anything. It's just an ordinary dress, the kind that a young lady would wear." Yu Dong looked through all the clothes very carefully and didn't find anything surprising. If Qu Moying hadn't asked her to put the clothes back, she would even think that the clothes were very good.
At least it looks much better than the lady's own clothes.
"It's better than my clothes. What's the difference? Can you see it clearly?" Qu Moying asked seriously.
Seeing her look like this
Yan Zheng, Yu Dong couldn't help but recall the results of his careful inspection just now: "The material seems to be better than the young lady's pieces, but not obviously. The color is brighter than what the young lady is used to. And the stitching and embroidery don't look like they were made by the needlework room in our mansion."
"Why do you think so?" Qu Moying became interested and asked with her watery eyes raised.
"I have seen the stitches and embroidery patterns in the mansion. Not only the young lady's, but also the third young lady's. None of them are so exquisitely embroidered. They are more like the embroidery patterns and stitches on Hua Yiwan's clothes that I saw before."
Huayiwan was the place where Xu Lipeng had intended to take Qu Moying, but they had an accident on the way and were unable to go.
There are many famous ready-made clothing shops in the capital city. Many young ladies from aristocratic families are proud to own the latest clothes from Huayiwan.
"How do you know so clearly?"
"Some of our master's clothes are made there. I have been there several times with Eunuch Ji Hai. I have seen it so many times that I know it." Yu Dong said with a smile.
So this dress is from Hua Yiwan, and it looks like a new style. Why did Qu Caiyue put it in her bag? Even for her, it would be hard to have such a piece, right? Why didn't she keep it for herself, but had to give it to herself? It's really impossible to say that there is no trick here.
Or what do Yu and Qu Qiuyan want to do
"Miss, no matter what they want to do, the clothes have been returned to Miss Qu Er. I just checked and found that there are many large and small packages in her big package. It will definitely not be discovered in a short time."
"Is the fourth young lady here?" As they were talking, a voice suddenly came from the yard.
After the master and servant looked at each other, Yudong walked out and saw a maid standing in the yard. It was Qu Qiuyan's maid. When Qu Qiuyan went up the mountain today, she brought two more servants than Qu Moying.
"What's the matter?" Yu Dong took two steps forward and asked.
The old woman smiled brightly: "Our third young lady has just had lunch, and the lady asked the young ladies to go out and play by themselves. Our third young lady has invited the eldest young lady and the second young lady, and will ask the fourth young lady if she wants to go for a walk together. I heard that there is a street in front of the Great Compassion Temple, which is particularly prosperous. Do you want to go and see it together?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask our young lady!" Yu Dong said.
The old woman responded and waited outside, and Yudong went in to report.
Qu Moying had already heard clearly what was being said outside in the room. If the three of them went together, it would seem like he was out of place if he didn't go with them. He nodded to Yudong.
Yudong went out to agree on the time and place with the maid. Yuchun also came back at this time, and the two maids went back to the house together.
After a quick wash, Qu Moying put on her veil again.
"Miss, you don't need to wear the veil anymore, right? Didn't you say that your eyesight is similar to that of ordinary people? It's not too glaring when you look outside in the hot sun?" Yu Dong asked. After all, wearing a veil when traveling is inconvenient and attracts attention.
Qu Moying shook his head: "No hurry!"
My eyes still need to be taken care of. As for when to remove the veil, now is not the best time.
Before going out, I went to the lady's yard to check on her. My nanny said that the lady was in good health, but very tired and not in good spirits. When she heard that they were going out for a walk, she just told them to be careful on the road.
When they arrived at the meeting place, the three were already there. Seeing Qu Moying coming over, Qu Qiuyan smiled brightly...
