"Is it related to the Yuguo Mansion?" Qu Moying also got the news at this time and said in surprise. She didn't expect Yu Qian to be so capable that he even had connections with people from the mansion. She didn't realize it.
"Yes, I heard it was the steward of the wife of Duke Yuguo." Nanny Miao reported. This was the news she had just heard from outside the mansion. Since Hai Lan came back, no one in the mansion dared to mention this matter casually.
"Duke Yuguo's wife has returned to the capital?" Qu Moying blinked her eyes, with a hint of brilliance in her expression.
"No, I didn't find out about that. I only heard from the steward of the wife of Duke Yu that the master just went out, and I heard that he was also going to the Duke Yu's mansion." Nanny Miao connected it to what she had found out in the mansion before.
When this cheap father went out, he naturally went to find Duke Yu to explain.
Qu Moying didn't know much about the wife of Duke Yu and Duke Yu in his previous life. He only knew that his father highly respected Duke Yu and said that he was the bravest general in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
He is much stronger than father and the current General Auxiliary to the State. Father even said that if Duke Yu had not retired, his status would have been higher than father and the General Auxiliary to the State. When talking about the things that happened to Duke Yu that were implicated, father always said it was the time and the fate.
Ji Hanyue had never seen the wife of Duke Yu who was in poor health.
"Let's leave this matter here for now. I'll sort out the account books and then go check on this shop. Ma'am Miao, please make a sign for me and change the name of the shop back." Qu Moying no longer paid attention to the affairs of the Yuguo Mansion. Since Qu Zhizhen had shown up, the next shop would definitely come back.
Now it's just a matter of time.
It is impossible that Yu Qian’s matter could be linked to Yu Shi, but it is not a big deal, as Yu Shi is of no use now.
"Change it back to the name it had when the madam was here?" After agreeing, Nanny Miao asked in surprise.
"Yes, change it to Yueyi Pavilion." Qu Moying nodded.
Yueyi Pavilion was the dowry of Xiao Yue when she married into the Qu Mansion, while another gold jewelry shop, Yuejinge, was the dowry of Dayue when she married into the Ling'anbo Mansion.
The two shops are right next to each other. No matter the appearance, decoration or layout, you can tell at a glance that they are shops owned by the same owner.
After Yu took over, he didn't want anyone to talk about this matter, so he deliberately changed the name of Yueyi Pavilion and renovated it a little, but the overall layout from the outside still looked the same.
The reason why the name was changed back now is naturally because it wants to be related to the shop next door.
Coincidentally, Ji Youran also changed the name of Yuejinge some time ago. His intention was similar to Yu's. He did not want the two shops to be related, and he did not want people to know that this was the dowry of Crown Princess Ji Hanyue.
Ji Youran didn't want to be involved, but she insisted on being involved.
"I will do it in a moment. As for Yueyi Pavilion, when will Miss go to sort it out?" asked Nanny Miao.
Qu Moying pointed to the account book in her hand. This was the part that Nanny Yan had sorted out for her, but she hadn't finished reading it yet. "Don't worry about it. I'll look at the account book first. The Ministry of Justice will handle the matter. Even if it goes through the process, it will take some time. During this period, the store will definitely be closed."
"Have all the things in there been suppressed?" Aunt Miao thought about it and felt that this was a problem.
In this case, losses are inevitable.
"It's okay. I'll make a loss first, so I can sort out the staff. Madam Miao, please ask Madam Zhou if I have any suitable staff here. It would be best if they are those left by my mother."
Qu Moying smiled slightly and said.
I have to ask Nanny Zhou about this matter. After all, Nanny Zhou knows the most about my mother's affairs. Whether it is manpower or specific matters, Nanny Zhou must know more than Nanny Miao.
"I understand. I will go find Madam Zhou and discuss it with her now." Madam Miao said. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Qu Moying.
"Miao Ma, wait a moment."
"Miss, is there anything else?" Nanny Miao turned around again.
Qu Moying pinched the account book in her hand with her fingers, and frowned slightly, "Mammy, send someone to ask the farm whether Master Ji has returned?"
"Miss, is there something wrong?" Nanny Miao asked sensitively. In the past, Ji Luoxuan had been out for a lot of time, and the medicine prepared for the young lady was always sufficient. And the young lady never asked about other people's personality. But this time she actually asked about Master Ji's affairs, which really made Nanny Miao think more.
"There's nothing wrong, I'm just afraid that someone will look for Master Ji." Qu Moying said with her long eyelashes fluttering twice, vaguely feeling that Liu Lanxin's matter might not be over yet.
That day she said Liu Lanxin was leaving, and she later asked people to inquire about it. It turned out that Miss Liu had indeed left the capital. When she left, there was quite a bit of fanfare. It was said that Prince Pei Yuanjun of Yun even sent her out of the capital, and Prince Jing was also with her at the time. To be seen off by two princes in the capital, especially at such a sensitive time, it was impossible not to think too much.
Could it be that the daughter of this auxiliary general is expected to marry in the capital
Qu Moying was not worried about who she would marry, but she was afraid that she would be exposed when she met him one day. After all, she had pretended to be Miss Liu for a while, and she didn't know who was going to the border this time, how Pei Yuanjun settled this matter, and what he wanted to do
Pei Yusheng had mentioned before that his eye disease was being cured, and that he would invite a doctor to treat Miss Liu's eye disease. In the end, he might be involved.
To be honest, she had a lot of troubles of her own and didn't want to get involved with Miss Liu and King Jing at all, but she always felt that this matter would inevitably be related to her in the end, so she couldn't help but ask about Ji Luoxuan.
"Notify me immediately when Master Ji arrives." Qu Moying fluttered her long eyelashes twice. She already had an idea in her mind and said to Nanny Miao.
Matters of contact with the manor have always been handled by Nanny Miao, so it would be a good idea to let Nanny Miao pay more attention to it. Miss Liu's affairs are a bit strange, and she doesn't want Ji Luoxuan to get involved. If she could avoid disaster by using the excuse of not returning to Beijing, that would be the best!
"I understand." Madam Miao nodded. "I calculated the time. Young Master Ji should be back soon. He didn't leave much medicine. He just told Miss to use it first and then take off her veil. He said he would come back to check on Miss after a while. Now Miss has run out of medicine."
Qu Moying's medicine has been used up, and the veil can be removed.
Qu Moying bit the corner of her pink lips gently, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, casting a shadow on the fair face of the young lady: "If Master Ji comes back, tell him not to return to the manor yet."
As for the specifics, she will deal with it when the time comes. As for Miss Liu Lanxin's matter,
Love is never so reassuring. Pei Yuanjun's actions are not so simple...
"Yujiao, does your second brother really like Miss Qu Si?" A surprised cry came from the mouth of a beautiful young lady.
This is a pavilion in the mansion, facing a waterside pavilion. The scorching sun of summer cannot reach here, and there is only a breeze, which is the most comfortable time.
There were several young ladies in the pavilion, some were painting, some were writing poetry. Two of them were sitting together and whispering, they were Liu Yiran and Yan Yujiao.
Liu Yiren's voice just now was a little louder, which startled the ladies around her. They turned around in surprise, perhaps because they didn't hear what they said clearly, so they looked at them one by one.
If they heard correctly, it was Yan Yujiao's useless second brother who had taken a fancy to the Fourth Miss Qu. Which Fourth Miss Qu? Was it the one they were thinking of
Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Liu Jingyu shook the round fan in his hand guiltily, smiled apologetically at everyone, and then lowered his voice to Yan Yujiao and said: "I'm sorry, Yujiao, I just made a fuss."
Yan Yujiao was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing what she said and seeing her face full of guilt, she stopped talking and her expression became a little better.
He stopped talking and focused only on the music sheet at hand.
They were all the most famous noble ladies in the capital. Several like-minded young ladies formed such a gathering and took turns attending banquets at various houses. When they were together, they were quite comfortable and each did what they liked, such as writing or painting. Of course, there were also those who played the piano, drew music scores, and even played chess.
Without the elders around, everyone can follow their own interests and everyone is in a good mood.
"Lady Jingyu, whose family is this Fourth Miss Qu you are talking about?" Finally, a young lady couldn't help it and walked over. She approached the two of them and asked curiously, could it be the Fourth Miss with eye disease who is now in the legend of Minister Qu's mansion in the capital
"It didn't say which company. Maybe you heard it wrong just now." Liu Jingyu covered up uncomfortably.
Unfortunately, such a cover-up makes people more suspicious.
Yan Yujiao glanced at Liu Jingyu, her face darkened again, and she coughed softly and said, "My mother found a cousin, but it won't work out. My father doesn't like it!"
"You have a cousin with the surname Qu. How come we have never heard of him?" Someone rolled his eyes in disbelief.
"Okay, every family has a few distant relatives. Since they are relatives, we won't ask any more questions. Speaking of which, a strange thing happened in Beijing recently. Have you heard about it?" Liu Jingyu came to the rescue of Yan Yujiao, shaking the round fan in his hand.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Another lady came over.
"No way, you really haven't heard about it? It's about a man who cheated people to buy and sell a shop, and ended up in the Ministry of Justice?" Liu Jingyu leaned against the window fence, her beautiful eyes smiling, "People in the capital are talking about it right now. I haven't seen anything this interesting in all these years!"
She was wearing a light cloud dress, the gauze fluttering in the wind, and she wore a lotus hairpin on her head, from which hung three strings of pearls of equal size, each of which was full. Her appearance became even more beautiful and eye-catching. In addition, she was of noble status, and it seemed that she was the leader of this gathering.
What she said was so interesting that two more young ladies came over and said, "County Lady, we are really ignorant. Why don't you tell us what it is?"
