"Miss Three heard that Miss Four had sprained her ankle, so she asked me to bring a chair over. Miss Three said that Miss Four should stay still for now."
The leading maid stepped forward and said with a smile.
The two maids and two old women behind him were carrying a wheelchair.
The wheelchair is neither too big nor too small, and is very delicate and exquisite. It is obvious that it was carefully made. It seems as if it was tailor-made for Qu Moying, but this is impossible.
How could he have customized a chair with his lame leg
"Put it down and come in!" Yu Dong looked at the chair without interest for a few times and said to the leading maid.
The leading maid nodded, turned around and waved, signaling the people behind her to put it down, and then followed Yudong into the house.
Seeing Qu Moying above, she stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "This servant greets the Fourth Miss."
Qu Moying had just heard what was said outside the room, so he raised his eyes and asked, "Where did the chair come from?"
"Last year, the Third Miss sprained her ankle, and the mansion had a chair made from outside. But by the time it was delivered, the Third Miss's ankle had basically healed, so it had not been used. When she heard that the Fourth Miss also sprained her ankle, the Third Miss remembered this and specially asked this servant to make this trip to deliver it to the Fourth Miss."
The maid explained with a smile.
Qu Moying narrowed his eyes, fell on the maid's flattering face, and asked slowly: "I just returned home, and the third sister is really well-informed."
"The Third Miss just sent someone to the Madam to ask about something, and she just heard that the Fourth Miss had sprained her ankle, so she asked me to find it and send it to you."
The maid said respectfully, which explained why Qu Qiuyan got the news so quickly.
"Thank third sister for me." Qu Moying said with a smile.
"Miss Fourth, you are too polite. This is what our Third Miss should do. Now the affairs of the mansion are in charge of the Third Miss. If there is anything that cannot be done, please let us know. Miss Third Miss will do her best to do it." The maid was very good at speaking. She said several good words for Qu Qiuyan before leaving with her people.
Yudong had the wheelchair carried into the house, placed it in the main room, and examined it carefully.
After reading everything, he looked up in confusion: "Miss, this... is really nothing. The chair is in good condition, but it has not been used for a long time. Some places need to be greased and it is not very convenient to turn. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong."
The people around Qu Moying were very wary of the things sent by Qu Qiuyan.
Qu Moying's eyes also fell on the wheelchair. The chair was neither too big nor too small. If she sat on it, it would be a perfect fit. The Qu Mansion was not big, and there were no soft bridges for moving around. It was indeed not very convenient to move around. If she could sit in a wheelchair, it would be a good thing. At least she could walk around the yard.
The imperial physician also said that I should take good care of myself in the next few days.
And the most important thing is that there will also be a funeral at the Ling Anbo Mansion. It was supposed to be held today, but it coincided with the day of the Crown Princess's funeral, so it was moved to a later date.
Even though they are biological father and daughter, the Crown Princess has a higher status, so Ling Anbo, as a father, can only avoid her.
Qu Moying wanted to go to Ling Anbo's mansion. Concubine Xiang's matter had not been resolved yet, so she had to go and see her. However, she had difficulty walking, and the wheelchair in front of her solved her urgent problem.
She had originally been thinking about taking a good rest today and trying to walk normally tomorrow, but now it seems that is not necessary.
But this wheelchair was given by Qu Qiuyan, so I always feel there is something wrong with it.
Shui Mou slid across the wheelchair and was about to stand up while holding Yu Chun's hand.
"Miss, please don't move. I'll go up and sit down and have a look." Yu Dong saw her intention and stopped her.
Qu Moying nodded and sat down again. Yu Dong walked to the wheelchair and sat down. After moving a few times, she stood up, her brows still furrowed. "Miss, it's really nothing, but I still feel..."
"Then use it." Qu Moying said decisively.
"Miss… "
"Miss… "
The two maids couldn't help but speak up to stop them. Ever since Miss Zijia entered the mansion, they saw very clearly the Second Madam and the Third Miss's intentions towards their young lady. No matter how they looked at it, the Third Miss didn't seem like a kind-hearted person, so how could she truly be nice to their young lady!
Qu Moying waved her hand, signaling the two maids not to stop her: "It's okay, use it first!"
The wheelchair was sent by Qu Qiuyan openly, and it belonged to her. If something really happened, Qu Qiuyan would be guilty. Or if something really happened to her because of the wheelchair, it would be difficult for Qu Qiuyan to clean it.
Therefore, even if there is something wrong with this wheelchair, it won't be the kind that will cause you to fall off as soon as you sit on it.
That means there is another purpose, but no matter what that purpose is, she does need it for the time being.
"Yudong, go to the Third Miss first and thank her. Miao Ma, go to Grandmother and tell her about this and ask her opinion."
Qu Moying made the arrangements calmly.
Yu Dong and Nanny Miao left as requested. Qu Moying sat on the wheelchair with the support of Yu Chun, who pushed him a few times from behind.
It is indeed very useful. Qu Moying is small, so it is not crowded when sitting on it, and there is more space, so it is very comfortable. It is just a little inconvenient for Yu Chun to push it, so she has to find some grease to lubricate the wheels so that it will be more convenient to use.
Yuchun went outside and sent the maid to get some grease. A little maid went out as ordered, but came back after a while.
"The manager said that there is no more oil?" Qu Moying asked with a calm face. This matter is not that simple. She has known it for a long time, but now she doesn't know what Qu Qiuyan is up to.
"Yes, they said there is no more and we need to get some new ones." The little maid nodded.
"When will we arrive?" Qu Moying asked.
"They say we have to wait a few days for this kind of good oil. The ones we used in the past were all good ones." The little maid reported.
"Isn't there any ordinary grease in the mansion that can be used to grease the wheels of the carriage?" Yu Chun asked in confusion.
"I asked the same question. The manager said that the smell was too strong and the young lady would feel uncomfortable if she sat on it and smelled it." The maid explained.
The wheels of the horse are indeed greased, and there is indeed some smell, but once people get on the carriage, they are much farther away from the wheels and are separated, so you can basically smell nothing in the carriage, and you don't have to worry about whether the smell is too strong. A wheelchair is different, as you sit directly on it, and if the smell is too strong, it will indeed be uncomfortable.
Compared to the grease of the wheels, it is common to use better ones.
But these few days, Qu Moying couldn't wait any longer, because Ling Anbo's funeral was just around the corner.
"Why does this kind of good oil take several days?" Qu Moying asked after a moment of hesitation.
"I'm not sure about this either. It seems that this kind of good oil is not available whenever you want. The mansion has never bought it before, and there is no direct purchase.
We still have to find the channel." The little maid touched her head. She didn't quite understand what he said, so she just repeated it.
"Miss, what should we do?" Yu Chun was dumbfounded. The young lady had just expressed that she would go to Ling Anbo's funeral, which would be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. After a few days, it would really be too late. In a few days, the young lady would be almost well and would not need a wheelchair at all.
"Let's find it ourselves!" Qu Moying said after thinking for a while.
"Miss, I will go out to look for her now." Yu Chun nodded repeatedly. If they had to look for her, the better it would be, the sooner the better. She was the only one here now, so it would be best for her to go out.
"Let's go together." Qu Moying shook his head and said.
"Miss, you have difficulty walking, why are you going out!" Upon hearing that Qu Moying was going to go in person, Yu Chun became anxious and hurriedly advised that in the young lady's current condition, she should rest first.
"It's okay, I'm just sitting in the car." Qu Moying shook his head.
"Miss, there is quite a distance from here to the gate of the mansion. You have just sprained your foot, so you can't walk any more at this time. If you must go, I will carry you out." Yu Chun was really worried about Qu Moying's foot. The imperial physician said that she had to take good care of it. Although a sprain is not a big deal, it would be a big deal if it were injured again.
Qu Moying didn't say anything, her watery eyes flickered slightly. The wheelchair that Qu Qiuyan had sent seemed to have a problem with the grease, and it was indeed not suitable for her to walk at the moment.
Although this kind of oil is not available in the mansion, it should be available on the street. If I ask someone to buy it myself, it won't take several days. What is Qu Qiuyan trying to do
"Okay, go ahead. If you encounter anyone or anything, be careful..." Qu Moying hesitated for a moment and looked at Yu Chun, "Remember to buy at the market price. It's best to go to a store that sells it directly. If you have to wait for something, you can choose another store."
"Yes, I know." Yu Chun nodded hurriedly, then turned and left. Qu Moying waved her hand and asked the maid to retreat.
The room fell silent. Qu Moying narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing across them. The situation in front of him seemed vague, but in fact there were still clues to be found.
They didn't sit in the room for long. Among the few people, Yuchun was the first to come back.
"Miss, we found the grease." Yuchun smiled as soon as he came in, wiped the sweat from his head, and hurriedly reported.
She was in a hurry to go out just now, and she was in a hurry to come back too.
"Who sent it?" Qu Moying asked with an unchanged smile.
"Miss, how did you know it was a gift?" Yu Chun was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"You haven't arrived at the mansion yet at this time. Since you already have it, it must not be bought." Qu Moying looked out the window. It has only been a short period of time and yet it is already there. It is both unexpected and expected.
"Yes, yes, yes, it was not bought. Some grease was delivered to the mansion from outside, and it happened to be the kind used to grease wheelchairs. When I went out just now, I met the steward who was in charge of this matter. He came to reply to the young lady." Yu Chun nodded repeatedly.
"Which family sent it?" Qu Moying raised his eyebrows.
"It's not from any family. They said it was sent by the Taoist temple." Yuchun shook his head.
"Which Taoist temple?" Qu Moying raised her eyebrows. She couldn't remember any Taoist temple that was related to the Qu family.
"Qingyun Temple!" Yuchun said.
Qu Moying was stunned. She had heard of Qingyun Temple, but she really didn't expect this Taoist temple to be involved in this matter...
