There was a servant standing at the door, thin and smart.
Seeing Yu Dong, he immediately smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is the person inside the house the fourth young lady of Minister Qu's residence?"
"What's the matter?" Yu Dong looked the servant up and down, and didn't find anything unusual, so he asked.
The young lady came over just now wearing a veil. I wonder who was the one who recognized her identity at once. Could it be that someone was targeting her
Yu Dong felt a little uneasy and looked at the servant opposite him warily, "Who is your master?"
"Our master is His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. He is currently in the private room next door. When he saw your young lady coming over, he wanted to ask for a favor." The servant said with a smile.
Prince of Wei Pei Qingmin? Qu Moying's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't think she was familiar with Prince of Wei.
"Let him come in and talk." Qu Moying said.
Yudong stepped aside, and the servant came in and bowed to Qu Moying.
"What difficulties does your prince have that he needs my help with?" Qu Moying asked doubtfully after the servant had paid her respects. Although she and the King of Wei had met only a few times, each time was not a pleasant experience. She didn't think that the two of them were familiar enough to help each other.
"Our prince thought the five-color brocade here was good and wanted to pick a few pieces for Concubine Jing, but he didn't know what color to pick. He happened to see Fourth Miss Qu here and wanted to ask her to help him choose the color." The servant replied, "In addition to the material, there are also some small ornaments. I would also like to ask Fourth Miss Qu to choose one."
A gift for Pei Qingmin’s biological mother, Concubine Jing
Qu Moying hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Go back and report to your prince. This shop originally belonged to me. I will pick out the right materials and send them to your prince. I won't be going over there anymore."
Although the separation between men and women is not as strict as in the past tonight, Qu Moying still feels that it is better to be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"But our prince said that it would be best if Fourth Miss Qu went there in person..." The servant hesitated.
"Reporting to your prince, it is getting late and it is inconvenient for me to come here at this time. I will apologize when I meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei in the future." Qu Moying smiled and spoke slowly.
He spoke slowly and his meaning was very clear.
In such weather and at such a time, a man and a woman traveling together could easily be mistaken for a couple. Qu Moying did not want people to misunderstand her and Pei Qingmin. Although there seemed to be not many people around at the moment and it should be impossible for anyone to notice her, it was very easy for a royal family member to be noticed when traveling.
Pei Qingmin is not Pei Yuanjun either.
Thinking this way in my mind, I rejected it decisively without any hesitation.
Seeing that Qu Moying spoke so decisively, the servant knew that he could not force it, so he nodded and left. Yudong followed him out and saw the servant enter a private room. Then he went to find Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang had some fabrics and small accessories sent over. After Qu Moying picked some in his own private room, he had them sent to the private room next door.
"Did she really say that?" Pei Qingmin was sitting inside, wearing a light robe, which made him look like a jade-like gentleman, except that he looked a little sickly. After listening to what the servant said, he raised his eyes slightly and asked.
"Yes, Miss Qu Si said that she would have someone send over the things she picked out soon." Upon hearing this, the servant nodded quickly.
Pei Qingmin reached out and knocked on the table, saying nonchalantly, "That's fine.
, just pack up everything she sent over later!"
Since this shop belongs to Qu Moying, it is normal to accept a gift from her.
When Pei Qingmin walked here, he was blocked by the hustle and bustle, so he simply went upstairs and sat inside to pick some things to take back. Unexpectedly, he saw Qu Moying coming up, so he asked the servant beside him to disturb him.
Now that everything was settled, Pei Qingmin did not stay any longer. It was too noisy here and he felt dizzy after sitting for just a while. It would be better to go back and have some quiet time.
Coming out of the private room, Pei Qingmin looked up at the layout here and nodded secretly. Compared with ordinary shops, this place was much more elegant, especially the private room upstairs.
The private room is next to the window, where you can enjoy the view, select goods, and talk and chat.
The tea is nice and the dessert is also good.
There are some display counters inside, not arranged in a row, but rather randomly placed, so that you can see these objects from different angles, and just take a look and walk around, with a waiter accompanying you, which shows respect, and can introduce different goods.
The waiters upstairs are different from those downstairs. They are all women, which is more in line with the tastes of young ladies from wealthy families and makes it easier for them to integrate into the group.
Unexpectedly, this young lady from the Qu family is quite talented and not completely useless.
Pei Qingmin nodded secretly, then went downstairs and left.
Qu Moying heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Pei Qingmin had left. She was afraid that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei would pick a fight with her.
Yu Dong, on the other hand, was indignant: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is a prince after all, how can he be so petty? You said you wanted to give it to him, and he really accepted it, without spending a penny?"
"It's better to send him off and then leave. I'm afraid this person is not that simple either." Qu Moying smiled and shook her head. She sincerely hoped to send something and get the bad guest away.
None of the royal family's descendants are easy to deal with.
She had no relationship with the King of Wei in her past or present life, and she didn't plan to have any relationship with him in the future. It would be best if the two could settle the matter with money and send him away directly.
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a big problem.
Qu Moying admitted his loss so well. Although Yu Dong was not angry, he could do nothing about it.
"Miss, are you tired?" Seeing Qu Moying's pale face and unable to hide her fatigue, Yu Dong hurriedly restrained his previous emotions and said.
"I'm not very tired, I just don't feel very comfortable." Qu Moying frowned and felt a little dizzy.
"Miss, you must have been injured in the previous car accident and haven't recovered yet. You must be tired from the journey." Yu Dong also thought of it at this time.
"Let's go!" Qu Moying also nodded. When he was in high spirits just now, he didn't feel anything. But now that he relaxed, he felt uncomfortable and miserable. Considering the time, it was already late and he should go back.
Without saying hello to Aunt Yang, Qu Moying brought Yudong down from upstairs. When they stood outside and took a look, Yudong's face turned bitter. They didn't know how far they had to go, but judging from the look of their young lady, she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Miss, I'll go get a carriage." Yu Dong looked around and said.
Qu Moying shook his head: "There are too many people here, it's unlikely that a carriage will come, let's go out for a walk."
Yudong looked around, but didn't see a carriage.
He had no choice but to agree and followed Qu Moying out.
This place is still a long distance from Qu Mansion, and the distance where the carriage was parked before was not close either. Yu Dong was very worried, fearing that Qu Moying could not hold on. He walked and looked to see if there was any carriage coming, even if it would be helpful to just take a ride.
But there were really no carriages along the way. We saw quite a few people, but they all came on foot. There were so many people tonight that it was not so convenient for a carriage to come in.
Pei Qingmin didn't walk fast. His carriage was parked in the alley outside the street. He was not in good health to begin with, and with so many people around, he walked even slower.
After walking a short distance, he suddenly saw Qu Moying and the maid named Yudong, rushing over from behind. They were in a hurry, and it seemed that they were here to chase him. The corners of his thin lips couldn't help but curl up. Did they come to him because they didn't have any news from Uncle Wang
It turned out to be a tactic of playing hard to get. What he said just now seemed very generous, but he only said that just to talk to me.
He simply stopped and waited for Qu Moying to come over. Since she was willing to play, and he was not busy anyway, why not play with her? Let's see when his true face of greed and vanity will be revealed.
Qu Moying didn't wear her veil this time because she was not feeling well. Yu Dong was so anxious and flustered that he didn't notice it at all.
Under the street lights, Qu Moying's face was as pale as snow, and even paler was the color of her lips, which was completely different from her usual delicate and moist color. Pei Qingmin's eyes suddenly fell on the corner of her lips, and his handsome brows frowned. Subconsciously, when Qu Moying came over, he stretched out his hand to stop her.
Qu Moying just wanted to get back home as soon as possible. Her way was blocked. She looked up at Pei Qingmin standing opposite her. For a moment, she couldn't recognize him. She closed her eyes, and then opened them again to see clearly that it was Pei Qingmin, the Prince of Wei. She turned sideways and saluted: "Greetings, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wei."
"Why have you come to see me?" Pei Qingmin asked, his eyes still fixed on Qu Moying's pale lips. He knew best what such a lip color meant. Is this Fourth Miss Qu unwell
Even though he was feeling unwell to this extent, he still didn't forget to chase after me, just for the wealth and glory behind me? Pei Qingmin looked at Qu Moying with a cold and mocking look.
For this wealth, he is willing to give up his life.
"What did the prince say?" Qu Moying didn't understand. She was not feeling well and her reactions were not as quick as usual. She just felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
"I have just accepted some gifts from you, so naturally I must return the favor. If you are free tomorrow, just come to my house and get them." Pei Qingmin curled the corners of his lips, and the sarcasm became more and more obvious.
The servant following behind him raised his head in surprise and secretly glanced at his master. He had never seen his master actively invite a young lady to his home, so what did this mean
Before, Concubine Jing said that if the prince had chosen someone, he could invite her to the palace to talk. Concubine Jing had been looking forward to the prince getting married for a long time, but the prince always put it off on the grounds of poor health, saying that if he got married, it might not last long, which made Concubine Jing give up the idea.
But now, is this just the literal meaning, or is it what I think it means
"The gifts from the prince are just a small token of my appreciation. I dare not ask for any return gifts from the prince." Qu Moying still didn't understand, so he responded according to the literal meaning.
