"What polite words are you saying when you're my sister?" Qu Qiuyan smiled, with a hint of pride in her eyes. She couldn't take anything directly from Qu Moying, but she could give her something as a gift.
But the things I give as a gift, not everyone can take them if they want!
The two men parted amicably at the gate of the lady's courtyard and went their separate ways.
Qu Moying walked forward slowly, holding up the hairpin in her hand, watching the swaying pearls sliding past her eyes. They were indeed very beautiful and unique, so unique that she still remembers them now.
In her previous life, she saw them at the Queen Mother's place. They were tributes sent to the Queen Mother. That day, the Queen Mother asked her to go with her to choose some jewelry. When she went, Concubine He was there too. When she saw the hairpins on display, she liked them immediately and asked the Queen Mother for them, saying that they would be given to Prince Jing's principal wife in the future.
A set of four hairpins means the marriage is stable and the luck is good. It was also at that time that she heard that Concubine He favored Lady Jingyu. The Empress was somewhat reluctant at the time and even hinted to her to ask for these hairpins as well. At that time, she felt that it was not necessary. Since Concubine He liked her, why should she fight for it? She pretended not to understand the Empress' hint.
The hairpin finally fell into the hands of Concubine He, and she was scolded by the Empress Dowager.
She was even hinted that she didn't want her marriage with the prince to be stable and harmonious. She actually didn't want such a flattering hairpin, which was really useless.
Later, it was Crown Prince Pei Luoan who came to the rescue, and the Queen let her leave the palace.
Now things have changed and people have changed. She actually saw this hairpin again and couldn't help but sigh that the world is impermanent.
There are four hairpins, two of which are in Qu Qiuyan's hands. Qu Qiuyan considers herself as the future Princess of Jing, but Jing may not be willing to let others know. Moreover, Jing is now quite fond of the daughter of the General who assists the State. I'm afraid Jing is also entangled with Lady Jingyu right now.
As the matter becomes more and more complicated, it becomes more and more interesting.
"Miss..." Seeing her silent, Yu Dong's eyes swept to a place not far away and reminded her in a low voice. His hearing and eyesight were certainly not comparable to those of an ordinary maid.
Qu Moying shook his head silently without looking back.
Suddenly, an old woman rushed out from behind a big tree in front, very recklessly, and bumped into Qu Moying directly. Qu Moying took three steps back. Yuchun and Yudong hurriedly reached out to help him.
"Hey, why did you bump into someone when you didn't even look at the road?" Yu Chun said angrily while holding Qu Moying's hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" The old woman lowered her head and apologized repeatedly.
Qu Moying stood still, frowning slightly, "Let's go!"
The impact was quite strong and my arm was aching slightly.
"Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss." The old woman turned around and left, disappearing in a flash.
The whole process took a very short time. In a short while, the collision was completed and the person ran away.
"Miss, I didn't see the person clearly." Yu Dong said with dissatisfaction as he looked at the old woman's figure leaving. The time was too short and the old woman kept her head down. Even if he had sharp eyes, he couldn't see who the person was.
"No need to look." Qu Moying shook her head, her watery eyes looked at her empty hands, and her tender fingers moved twice.
"Miss, where is your hairpin?"
At this time, he also discovered it and immediately screamed in surprise.
"It fell." Qu Moying said indifferently.
"It fell off, where is it?" Yuchun looked down on the ground, but she looked back and forth several times and still couldn't find the pearl hairpin. She was anxious and said, "Miss, just now the third lady said that she wanted to wear the same hairpin as you. Now this hairpin is gone, what will you wear later?"
"Just wear our original ones." Qu Moying said slowly, raising his eyes to look into the distance. The time was just right. Qu Qiuyan had just given him a hairpin, and he was playing with it in his hand when he was bumped into and disappeared.
If it was a little later, the hairpin would be in the maid's hand, but when seeing it for the first time, many people would take it in their hands and look at it carefully.
"Yuchun, Yudong, shout louder." Qu Moying said in a low voice with a smile, looking at the courtyard door on one side. The door was ajar. Just now a little maid poked her head out and then quickly shrank back. This was Qu Xuexin's courtyard.
The two girls understood and hurriedly said in a loud and anxious voice, "Miss, we have to tell the Madam, how could such a good hairpin be broken by a collision?"
"Miss, that old woman did it on purpose. She must have seen the Third Miss giving you a hairpin and waited to bump into you. How did she guess that the Third Miss was going to give you a hairpin?"
"Miss, let's go find the lady."
"Yes, go right away. Maybe someone wants to harm the young lady."
The two maids spoke angrily to each other.
"It's a small matter. Let's talk about it after we see Third Sister." Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Miss, this matter is not trivial. You can't delay it!" Yu Dongyi said sternly.
"Okay, I'll tell Third Sister later." Qu Moying seemed to care less and less. He walked slowly past Qu Xuexin's courtyard gate with two maids. He glanced over and saw that the half-open courtyard gate moved, but no one came out.
When they returned to the courtyard, lunch had already been delivered. After eating a little, they left. Qu Moying was not in a hurry to leave. He took the tea that Yu Dong brought and drank a sip, then slowly put it down and asked Yu Chun who had just returned: "Is the elder sister not feeling well again?"
"Yes, I heard that she is coughing badly and is now lying in bed. I wanted to go with the young lady, but now I can't go." Yuchun sighed, "Why is the young lady so weak? She is even weaker than the old lady."
At least the lady is up now. Although she looks tired and doesn't have much energy, she is at least available to talk to me.
This one is so weak that he is considered an anomaly.
Yuchun has always felt that her young lady is weak. In the past, when she was in the farm, she was often sick and would be sick for many years. But even so, the young lady would get up when she could, unless the illness was particularly serious. Now the young lady can't even get out of bed, and it seems that she is very sick.
This is what Yuchun thought in her heart, and she also felt that it was really inappropriate for the eldest lady to be sick at this moment.
The third young lady obviously had bad intentions. If the eldest young lady were here, she could just watch from the side.
"The eldest lady is a smart person. Smart people certainly know when is the best time to get sick." Qu Moying blinked and said with a bright smile.
"Miss, are you saying... that she is pretending to be sick?" Yu Chun wasn't really stupid. She had originally found it strange, but after Qu Moying reminded her, she immediately understood and asked in surprise.
In her opinion, Miss and Size
There is no serious conflict between the two sisters. They lived in the East and West Mansions in the past, and it did not affect their relationship. The young lady always respects the eldest sister, and the eldest sister looks gentle and dignified. How could she do such a thing
"Of course she is pretending. Last time she left with the Second Miss and the Third Miss, she caused the Fourth Miss to be suspected. After that, when the Second Miss got into trouble, she fell ill. Now our Miss needs her company, but she is still ill and can't get out of bed. Why doesn't she go down the mountain to ask a doctor for treatment, or go back directly? Dabei Temple is not too far from Qu Mansion."
Yudong saw it more clearly and said with a disdainful curl of his lips.
"This young lady seems to be a smart person. She knew that the third young lady was going to plot against our young lady, so she hid away. This way, no matter what happened, it has nothing to do with her. She is just being prudent and protecting herself."
“Miss, how can you be like this… She is… Is the young lady…” Yuchun took a breath and stammered, her face full of shock. She could never have imagined that the young lady who looked gentle and kind could be such a person.
"The Second Mansion is the main one in the mansion. Although my uncle also holds an official position, he is not as important as my father. In the final analysis, the West Mansion is the main one among the East Mansion and the West Mansion. My eldest sister has always been smart. How could she offend Qu Qiuyan? It's good enough that she didn't step on me. Who knows, she will step on me a few times for Qu Qiuyan."
Qu Moying said indifferently.
Among the young ladies in the Qu family, none of them was sincere to her. Fortunately, she didn't have any feelings for them and didn't care whether they were good to her or not.
In the Qu Mansion, she only cares about the lady dowager, and what she is concerned about right now is her "old illness". If the lady dowager could step forward, some things would not have come to this point. But coincidentally, the lady dowager is sick, and her illness is different from Qu Xuexin's. The lady dowager can see her own illness, and she is really unwell, while Qu Xuexin doesn't even want to see anyone, saying that she can only lie in bed, which is really inconvenient for her to see people.
"Have you made arrangements for Chunxiu?" Qu Moying asked Yudong, suppressing the sarcasm in his heart. The two maids had just gone out. Yuchun went to find Qu Xuexin, and Qu Dong secretly went to find Chunxiu.
Didn’t Qu Qiuyan want to make herself look clean afterwards
She really won't let her get what she wants. She deserves what she deserves. This is what Qu Qiuyan is talking about...
"Miss, the third lady asks if you can leave?" A maid came in and raised her voice after bowing to the main house outside the door.
The room was quiet for a while, and Yuchun came out, smiling and said, "We are already prepared here, just waiting for the Third Miss. If the Third Miss is ready, let's go now."
"Okay, then I will go and reply to our young lady now. Has the fourth young lady gone to invite the eldest young lady? If not, I will take care of everything at once." Qu Qiuyan's maid was smart. She explained everything clearly in no time, even mentioning Qu Xuexin's matter.
If it was the old Yuchun, she would have been led astray by her, but now Yuchun, who had received instructions from her young lady, was very calm. She smiled and shook her head and said, "The eldest young lady said she is sick and can't get up for a while. Let our young lady and your young lady go by themselves. When she recovers, she will hold a banquet to invite the two young ladies to apologize!"
"The eldest lady is ill again?" the maid said. Although there was a hint of surprise on her face, as if she had not expected it, there was not much surprise in her eyes. It was as if she had expected it. She blurted out, "The eldest lady has always been in poor health. Please forgive me, Fourth Miss."
