Qu Moying chatted with Qu Xuexin for a few words before leaving.
After Qu Moying left, Qu Xuexin became gloomy and looked towards the door with sinister hatred in her eyes.
"Miss!" Seeing her dazed expression, Hongmei called out in a low voice.
"Don't blame me, it's all your fault!" Qu Xuexin gritted her teeth and almost twisted the handkerchief in her hand into pieces.
This marriage was clearly between Qu Moying and Mr. He San, but now that the He family had come knocking on their doorstep, no one stood up to speak a fair word for him. Only his mother was crying for him.
Why should I use my own reputation to compensate Qu Moying!
The most difficult thing for me is getting married, because after the previous marriage proposal was rejected, it was delayed again and again, and I couldn’t find a suitable one for a while. The few people my mother found for me, some liked me, but I didn’t like them. There were some who had good conditions in all aspects, but they didn’t like me.
Originally, I thought that Mr. He San was really good and would have great potential in the future. He was better than the one my mother had found for me before. With Qu Moying's current condition, even if she married into the He family, no one would look down on her, and she would end up being abandoned. It might even cause a rift between the Qu and He families, which would not be good for anyone!
She was willing to take on this marriage for Qu Moying for the sake of the entire Qu family.
But now, why is it like this!
"Miss, the Fourth Miss is really going too far. This is clearly her own business, and she hasn't even apologized to you. She even has the mind to go out and play. She deserves to be in trouble." Bai Mei naturally stood on the side of her own young lady and said angrily.
Since Baimei had spoken, Hongmei naturally did not want to be left behind, and hurriedly flattered Qu Xuexin, "Yes, Miss, even if something happened to the fourth lady, it was what she deserved. It has nothing to do with Miss!"
The two maids' comforting effect worked. Qu Xuexin nodded, not realizing that she was the one who had plotted against Qu Moying. When she was plotting against Qu Moying, the He family had not yet come to propose marriage, and there had not been such a big incident. She never thought that if she had not had the intention of hooking up with Mr. He San early on, Mr. He San would not have been able to bite her.
The so-called accidental collision is almost a hidden ambiguity for the young lady from a noble family.
For example, if Qu Moying and Pei Yuanjun bumped into each other, others would think that Qu Moying was vain and bumped into him on purpose. Therefore, everyone felt that Pei Yuanjun was just resisting the emperor's urging to get married, so he had to find a woman to block him, and Qu Moying happened to bump into him, so it must be her.
Anyway, she is just a blind girl, not the principal wife. It is a blessing from heaven that she is given the position of concubine.
These young ladies and gentlemen are always served by maids and servants, so how can you just bump into them if you want to
On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Qu Moying did not get up early. She was feeling a little unwell. She was too weak to begin with, and she hit her head in the carriage that day. Since then, she has been feeling dizzy and had little strength. Although she is feeling better now, she is not in the best condition yet.
The lady of the house specifically allowed her not to pay her respects and to just rest first.
While Qu Moying was still sleeping, several maids had already chosen the clothes that Qu Moying would wear that night. It was a set of clothes sent by the Yue family from Jiangnan, the five-color brocade that was widely publicized when Yueyi Pavilion opened.
So the five-color brocade refers to the fact that this kind of forge can only be dyed with five colors, and none of them are bright colors, but rather elegant. The gauze is delicate and smooth, and it sparkles under the light, revealing a kind of hazy beauty, just like cloud brocade, but softer than cloud brocade.
Qu Moying woke up at lunch time. After lunch, she listened to Madam Miao's report on what happened in Yueyi Pavilion today.
Yes, I am satisfied. The opening of Yueyi Pavilion went very smoothly. A lot of people gathered there yesterday, some to watch the fun, and some to join in the fun.
Yueyi Pavilion and Yuejin Pavilion opened at the same time. The two shops, both of which were popular topics, opened together, so there was a lot to talk about. Yueyi Pavilion and Yuejin Pavilion were not well-known in the capital before, but now, at least half of the people in the capital know about them. When they heard about the new opening, many people went to watch the excitement.
Also, because the opening stage was set up well, many people went to join in the fun. The grand prize will be drawn tonight, and many people who went to watch yesterday are still coming today, waiting for the grand prize to be drawn today.
After Nanny Miao finished reporting the situation outside, Qu Moying went to the lady dowager's place.
"Ying girl, are you still dizzy?" After the lady pulled Qu Moying to sit down, she carefully examined her face. She couldn't see anything for a moment, so she asked with concern.
"Grandma, it's nothing serious. I slept very late today. It would be good to go out for a walk and relax." Qu Moying said softly with an elegant smile.
"Nothing is the best. Be careful when you go out today. I have just asked your elder sister to take care of you. Don't go to crowded places to avoid being squeezed by others." The lady warned, and it was obvious that she was not completely relieved.
"Grandma, I understand. I will listen to my elder sister!" Qu Moying responded.
Seeing her so obedient, the lady breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "Tonight, Yan girl will go with you. She has been much more well-behaved recently, and she also promised not to cause trouble. She will definitely listen to your eldest sister."
Qu Moying smiled and nodded slightly without commenting. On a day like this, how could Qu Qiuyan sit still? She would definitely go out.
According to information obtained by Nanny Miao, Qu Qiuyan would go out at this time every year. It was said that she met Prince Jing when she went out last year, and her relationship with Prince Jing was formed at that time.
The feet are on Qu Qiuyan's body, and she can't control her.
Seeing that Qu Moying didn't say anything against it, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. Although the two granddaughters didn't have a good relationship, the old lady didn't want them to be enemies. At least it was good to maintain a lukewarm relationship on the surface, otherwise it would be bad for the reputation of the two sisters.
After returning from the lady's place, Qu Moying bathed again and put on the prepared clothes. When she put them on, several maids were amazed.
Although I already knew that the young lady was very beautiful, the clothes in front of me made her look even more beautiful.
Even though she was covered with a long veil, hiding her misty eyes and the hint of charm in the corners of her eyes, she still looked delicate and beautiful.
The two long veils hung down like two ribbons, blending with the ribbons on the hem of the skirt, standing in the wind, floating like a fairy.
This is simply the living signboard of Yueyi Pavilion!
With the hype from the previous day and the grand prize today, and now Qu Moying's own living signboard, who would not be interested in this five-color brocade!
Everyone had dinner early today. It was not yet completely dark and everyone was ready.
The carriage was waiting outside. This time, the lady had prepared three carriages for her three granddaughters, one for each of them, which was spacious enough for them to sit in even with their maids.
This was originally a festival for young girls, so the Lady Dowager and Mrs. Luo would not attend.
Qu Mingcheng couldn't go in his current state, and he was still lying in bed recuperating. However, the eldest son of the first wife, Qu Minghui, was accompanying him. As for the other cousin who had taken the lead, Xiao Hanyuan, he was nowhere to be seen, which made Qu Moying feel strange.
It’s a pity, didn’t this guy ask them to take him to visit the Tantric Festival before
When Qu Moying walked out from the corridor, he saw that the elder brother was already there. Not only was he there, but Qu Xuexin and Qu Qiuyan had also arrived.
Two people were talking to each other and the atmosphere seemed good.
Qu Qiuyan's clothes were brightly colored and could be seen from a distance. She was wearing a goose yellow eight-piece skirt that fitted her slender waist. Although she was young, she had a good figure and beautiful eyes and eyebrows. She was much more outstanding than Qu Xuexin on the side, and she suppressed Qu Xuexin to look unremarkable.
"Fourth sister is late." Seeing Qu Moying coming, Qu Xuexin took two steps forward and said softly.
She looked normal, with only a slight swelling in the corner of her eyes, but it was not obvious. Although she was slightly swollen, her eyes were full of pity, but in front of Qu Moying, this pity belonged to Qu Moying. From the looks of several people, Qu Moying looked the most fragile with her veil on.
Qu Xuexin also noticed this, and a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes, but she immediately suppressed it.
"My grandmother gave me a few more instructions, so I arrived late." Qu Moying turned slightly and bowed apologetically.
"Grandma is so good to my fourth sister!" Qu Qiuyan couldn't help but taunt her, and then she left without looking back and got on the middle carriage.
Qu Xuexin looked apologetic: "Fourth sister, don't be angry, Third sister is just like that!"
"Thank you, sister and brother, for your help this time!" Qu Moying did not respond to her, but just smiled slightly and bowed deeply to Qu Minghui who was walking over.
"You're welcome, Fourth Sister!" Qu Minghui said hurriedly.
Qu Minghui looks much taller. Although he is not as handsome as Qu Mingcheng, he is very calm and seems very honest.
Qu Moying knew that this Mr. Qu had a good reputation, but at the moment, she was more willing to believe what she saw about this so-called reputation.
"Fourth sister, please get on the carriage first. It's almost time for us to get there. When we get to the destination, everyone will get off the carriage and walk." Qu Minghui explained, fearing that Qu Moying didn't understand.
"Thank you, brother!" Qu Moying bowed again, then took Yu Dong's hand and went to the last carriage.
Qu Xuexin also got on the first carriage. Qu Minghui got on the horse and followed the carriage, protecting the three carriages as they moved forward.
It was not yet the latest, but the streets were already lit up.
The whole way was filled with beautifully dressed young girls. Today, even the separation between men and women was not as strict as before. From time to time, men and women were seen traveling together. Everyone mingled together without paying any attention, talking and laughing, making it very lively.
Yu Dongban lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, watching with great interest. This was his first time to travel during a festival like this. In the past, he was either at the border or in the mansion. His own prince was not willing to join in the fun, and even if he happened to be in the capital, he never came out for a walk at this time.
But today, I will come out for a walk, right
Yudong was full of expectations. He heard what Eunuch Ji Hai said, and his special expectation was real.
As more and more people came, the carriage was moving slower than walking, so Qu Minghui decided to stop the carriage. In a small alley, several young ladies from the Qu family tidied their clothes and got off the carriage with their maids.
Then the carriage stopped in the shadows, and a few people turned out of the alley and mixed into a large group of people wandering around...
Only Yu Dong kept an eye on the surroundings. She spotted a servant not far away. He glanced at them and then ran away...
