Ji Hanyue had seen it at the Queen's place before. It was different from ordinary boxes and was made of bamboo, so it had an extraordinary elegance.
When I saw it, I looked at it a few more times and asked the palace maid casually. The palace maid explained that such boxes were also made of tribute. There were not many of them in the palace. They were all given to several favored concubines and concubines with children. They were very rare.
The bamboo used for this box is not ordinary bamboo. It is purple in color and has light spots. It matches the light gauze stretched on it, giving it a unique charm. The objects inside can be vaguely seen, giving the whole box a hazy beauty.
Even in the palace there are not many.
How could such a box appear outside the palace and end up in a small corner of such an inconspicuous shop
After flipping through it for a while, Qu Moying pursed her lips slightly, shook her head gently, concealed the surprise in her eyes, and showed some deep thought.
It is not the box I saw at the Queen's place. It looks like the same box, but it is not the same box after all.
As for the bamboo used to make the frame, although it is not ordinary bamboo, it is not the kind of invisible treasure. As for the gauze on it, it is somewhat similar to the embroidered edge on the previous handkerchief, so it should be the same style.
But even if it is an elephant, it must have seen the one in the palace.
Yu Dong saw Qu Moying looking through the box in her hand and called her softly, "Miss! What's in this box?"
Although he had followed Prince Yun before, he had never seen such an exquisite box that only concubines had. When he met Qu Moying, he just fiddled with the box in his hand and looked at it a few more times, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just a slightly exquisite box.
"Nothing, it just looks familiar." Qu Moying handed the box in his hand to Yu Dong, confirming that this box was the same as the one in the palace, but not the same. "Put the handkerchief and the clasp in, and pick them up together."
Since the box came with the handkerchief and the buckle, she would take them all away. She had an inexplicable feeling that the tributes sold in the shop many years ago must be related to these things. She would take them back first and then think about it slowly.
Yudong packed it up and put it in his arms.
The things he saw next were not as eye-catching as this one. Although there were some beautiful and exquisite ones that made Qu Moying stop, they were the kind of goods that could be sold and there was nothing illegal in them.
"Is anyone here?" A few people were picking and choosing upstairs when they suddenly heard someone calling downstairs.
Aunt Yang said, "Fourth Miss, I will go down and take a look."
Qu Moying nodded, and Aunt Yang walked down the stairs. After a while, she hurried up: "Fourth Miss, the people downstairs want to see you."
"Who?" Qu Moying put down the embroidery edge in her hand in surprise and asked why someone would come here specifically to look for her.
"It is said that he is the second son of the Fengyang Marquis's Mansion." Aunt Yang said.
Qu Moying's face turned cold. She naturally knew about the second son of the Fengyang Marquis' Mansion. The second son Yan Yu, who had been at odds with her for a long time, was the origin of all these things. He had plotted against her at the very beginning.
"Go down and tell him that I am busy and cannot see him. If he has something to do, he can go directly to the Qu Mansion." Qu Moying said coldly. She didn't think she needed to see the Second Young Master Yan.
Whether it was the Second Master Yan, Miss Yan, or even Feng
Madam Yangbo harbored ill will towards her.
Seeing that she was determined, Aunt Yang had to go downstairs, but after a while she heard louder noises at the stairs, and then she heard footsteps coming up, and Yan Yu rushed up to the second floor with a servant.
Aunt Yang wanted to stop him, but the servant pulled her sleeve and forced her to move away.
Yu Dong hurriedly stood in front of Qu Moying and looked vigilantly at Yan Yu who came first.
Qu Moying slowly put down the piece of material in her hand, lowered her slender hand, hid it in her sleeves, and turned to walk towards Yan Yu.
"Fourth Miss Qu." Yan Yu walked in a hurry. After seeing Qu Moying, she got straight to the point without too much politeness. "The third son of the He family is not a good husband."
"So, Second Young Master Yan came here to tell me this?" Qu Moying said in a light tone.
"It is indeed the case. Mr. He is not as handsome and handsome as he appears to be. He is not a good husband. Miss Qu, please think twice." Yan Yu's face was slightly sweaty, and he looked like he was in a hurry.
Qu Moying's pink face showed a hint of mockery: "Second Master Yan is here to tell me this? Wasn't it your wife who came to our house to tell us about this Third Master He?"
"My mother was deceived by others and didn't know about this. After I heard about it, I immediately came to inform Miss Qu Si."
Yan Yu looked at Qu Moying and said seriously.
Seeing his serious look, Qu Moying sneered in her heart. Some of her current affairs were related to the Fengyang Marquis' Mansion, and this guy acted as if he came to rescue her.
Those who don’t know him would think he is chivalrous.
"Second Young Master Yan, my affairs have nothing to do with you, nor with your family. Could you please tell your mother about this?" Qu Moying's face turned cold and he spoke word by word.
Her own affairs were already so difficult to deal with, and she didn't know what Feng Yangbo and his family were getting involved in.
After saying that, he turned around and said to Yudong, "Yudong, see the guest off."
Yu Dong stepped forward and said to Yan Yu with a fake smile, "Second Master Yan, please come in."
"Miss Fourth Qu, I mean well." Yan Yu didn't want to leave, so he stood there and said to Qu Moying's back.
Qu Moying felt a little annoyed. What was wrong with this Second Young Master Yan? She had no relatives or friends with him. She could even clearly sense the ill will coming from the Fengyang Marquis's Mansion. And now he was claiming to have good intentions. It was really infuriating.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Yan, but I don't know when the relationship between our two houses became so close? Or you can say that even if the two houses are close, Mr. Yan and I have nothing to say to each other, right?" Qu Moying couldn't help but sneered, "Mr. Yan, please go ahead. Don't you think people will think you are rushing up like this? I'm actually not familiar with Mr. Yan!"
The two people were indeed unfamiliar with each other. Looking at Qu Moying's indifferent back, Yan Yu lowered his head with an unpleasant expression. He just repeated, "Fourth Miss Qu, I really mean well. Third Master He is not a good man."
"Second Master Yan, please come in!" Yu Dong said again.
Yan Yu looked at Qu Moying's back again, retreated helplessly, and when he stood outside the shop, he looked at the shop door that had been tidied up, sighed deeply, and smiled with some helplessness and apology.
He knows his own affairs best, so this matter is related to him.
It can be said that Qu Moying suffered an unjust disaster, which made him feel
With great guilt.
The cause of the incident was that his father and mother asked him to meet a young lady from aristocratic family, saying that he was not young anymore and it was time for him to get married. He did not want to end this free life, so he casually said that he had someone he liked.
When his mother heard that he had someone he liked, she asked him what kind of person she was. Yan Yu also knew that the person he was talking about must match his mother's identity, otherwise something might happen. So he made up a woman, saying that she was a lady from a noble family, but had an unfortunate family background.
Because of her family background, her fiancé despised her and looked for someone else, thus breaking up the marriage. This woman whose mother had passed away and whose father was unkind to her was now in the mansion, but she had just been engaged not long ago, so now was not a good time to get engaged, and she had to wait for some time before deciding.
Yan Yu's purpose is to delay for a while, and he doesn't want to get married at all at this time.
His father and mother repeatedly asked who this girl was, but Yan Yu refused to tell them. Not only was he beaten according to the family rules, but he was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
This person originally did not exist, so Yan Yu naturally could not say who he was.
This means that he will not marry anyone other than you.
Then, no one knew what his father and mother had planned, but this person fell into the hands of Miss Qu Si. His mother was furious and scolded him again. This time Yan Yu knew that something was wrong and repeatedly stated that this person was not Miss Qu Si, but his mother did not listen to his explanation at all and locked him up in the mansion.
Later, he learned from his sister that his mother wanted to introduce the third son of the He family to Qu Moying. He was very anxious and asked someone to keep an eye on Qu Moying. Only when he knew that she had gone out did he secretly come to remind her that the third son of the He family was not a good companion.
Yan Yu also learned about this matter occasionally, but Mr. He San had the support of the He family and the background of Concubine He and King Jing, so not everyone could afford to offend him. Moreover, the victims were often beautiful maids. When something happened, the most they could do was give him some silver. No one would dare to go to the government to sue him.
Things had gone so wrong that Yan Yu was extremely helpless. He was also afraid that Fourth Miss Qu would end up in the He family. But now Fourth Miss Qu didn't take his words seriously at all, which made him anxious and regretful. If he had known this, he would not have said so at the beginning, so that his father and mother thought that he was deeply in love with Fourth Miss Qu and would not marry anyone else.
This shows that they are determined to push Fourth Miss Qu into the hell pit of the He Mansion!
After walking around outside the store, Yan Yu frowned tightly and looked very ugly.
A carriage suddenly stopped beside Yan Yu, and a beautiful woman's face appeared from the carriage: "Second brother, why are you here?"
"Why are you here?" Yan Yu looked at Yan Yujiao in the carriage and frowned. Did his mother know that he had sneaked out
Who knows what will happen this time.
"Second brother, what are you doing here? If mother finds out, something bad will happen. This is Qu's shop." Yan Yujiao looked up at the shop behind him and her face suddenly turned ugly.
Everyone in Beijing now knows that this shop and the one next door are the dowries of Jiangnan Yue's two daughters. Little Yue is Qu Moying's biological mother.
Seeing her second brother coming here stubbornly, Yan Yujiao became angry. The unrest in the mansion these days was all because of this Fourth Miss Qu. Her second brother seemed to be a smart man in the past, but how could he be so confused and keep wanting to involve himself with this Fourth Miss Qu
