There is only one two-story pavilion in the East Mansion in the entire Qu Mansion. Compared with ordinary pavilions, this pavilion has a much wider view. It is designed according to ordinary attics. The upper floor has wooden partitions to block the wind, but can be opened for ventilation, making it suitable for viewing in all seasons.
Yudong pushed open the wooden door facing the pavilion below.
It happened to be facing that direction.
Qu Moying sat down and looked thoughtfully at the two people who were talking enthusiastically below.
"Miss, it seems that the eldest master really likes Miss Zhou Er." Yu Dong sighed. He also heard some of it on the roadside just now.
When other families meet, the young ladies are always shy, but the eldest son in our family seems to be the opposite. On the contrary, Miss Zhou Er speaks and asks questions openly.
"I hope Miss Zhou Er... is a good person, otherwise she is not worthy of big brother's deep love." Qu Moying was silent for a moment and said.
"I think Miss Zhou Er is also good to the eldest master." Yu Dong said in a humorous voice.
Qu Moying nodded and frowned slightly. This was the best. She hoped that she was just overthinking it!
"Miss, which family's lady is the second young master having a secret meeting with? Why haven't I heard about it before?" Yu Dong remembered what he had just heard and couldn't help asking again.
"This... Actually, it may not be true. It is possible that Miss Zhou Er saw it wrongly, or it is possible that Miss Zhou Er is reminding Big Brother." Qu Moying said slowly.
There are some things that she can only watch now, because she doesn't know the truth, and she is not the eldest brother, so she will not believe one side of the story.
But if it is, she is still looking forward to it!
Miss Zhou Er was really not an ordinary lady from aristocratic family. If she were an ordinary lady, in this situation, even if she could speak, she would be shy and reluctant to speak. How could she talk to her eldest brother fluently, as if she could lead her eldest brother to continue talking? However, she sensed a hint of vague hostility from this Miss Zhou Er.
Very shallow, just like she could sense the hostility of Jingyu County Lord at that time. She has always been very sensitive in this aspect.
She hoped she was overthinking it. Big brother seemed to really like her, but she couldn't quite figure out what was going on with Miss Zhou Er. Was what she said before really just a casual remark
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!
She learned this the hard way...
Finally, the two people below left reluctantly. Qu Moying also stood up and brought her maid to accompany them for a while before having lunch.
During lunch, the women sat at one table. Since the people from the two families were different, they only had one table. There were quite a lot of men outside, so I heard that they had two tables.
At the table, Miss Zhou Er was very open and confident, and her performance made the Madam and Mrs. Luo very satisfied. Although she looked shy, her behavior was flawless. Even those young ladies from noble families who had never fallen into decline were no better than her.
Mrs. Luo's last bit of worry disappeared, and she became particularly affectionate towards Miss Zhou Er.
Both parties were very satisfied with the marriage, and the engagement was a happy one. Afterwards, the people from the Zhou residence took their people away. The Luo family was in charge of cleaning up the East Mansion, and Qu Moying took his people back to his own Qianyue Residence.
"Miss, do you want to use this medicine?" Yu Dong took out the porcelain bottle that Miss Zhou Er had given him from his sleeve.
"Let me see!" Qu Moying waved to him.
Rainy winter presents.
It was a small porcelain bottle, not really that big, with a lid on it. Qu Moying reached out and touched it twice, then opened the lid.
, there is actually a cover seal inside.
The so-called cap seal is a seal that replaces the original bottle with a red seal on it. If it has been used by someone, the red seal will be torn and the seal will no longer be tight.
This is an unused bottle of ointment. It is quite old and definitely not made recently. Moreover, it is a particularly good bottle of ointment, otherwise there would be no need to seal it.
The use of a lid, on the one hand, indicates that the medicine inside is good, and on the other hand, is also to seal the medicinal properties inside.
Qu Moying recognized the words on the lid, but didn't know what they meant. After looking at it for a few seconds, he put the lid back on and looked at the porcelain bottle thoughtfully.
At first glance, this porcelain vase looks like just a porcelain vase, no different from ordinary ones, but upon closer inspection, there are some differences.
The porcelain of this dynasty, like this small porcelain bottle for medicine, is made into a big-bellied shape, but this one is slender and narrow, as if it is from the previous dynasty.
After holding it in his palm and touching it carefully twice, Qu Moying put it down.
"Miss, is there anything wrong?" Yu Dong asked carefully when he saw her like this.
"There's nothing wrong with it. This medicine should be a good one, and it may have been left over from the previous dynasty." Qu Moying said lightly.
“Aren’t these kinds of medicines usually passed down from generation to generation?” Yu Dong was stunned. He thought it was a good medicine, but he didn’t expect it to be such a good medicine.
Miss Tuesday is very generous with her gifts.
"Since it is good, I will take it to the doctor for a look. If there is nothing wrong, Miss can use some." Yu Dong was also happy and said excitedly.
Qu Moying shook his hand: "My hand is fine now, and the scar is not big now. The doctor said it will gradually disappear, and there won't be any trace left in the end. There is no need to use such a good medicine."
"Miss, you are getting married soon. It would be terrible if your hand is not healed by then!" Yuchun advised. Even if there is only the slightest flaw, the young lady should remove it as soon as possible.
"Put it away first!" Qu Moying stretched out a slender finger and shook it gently. "Such a good ointment, it's such a waste if I use it!"
It wasn't a big deal in the first place. The only difference was that I was getting married soon. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if I stayed a little longer.
“Miss…” Yuchun wanted to persuade her, but Yudong pulled her sleeve. Knowing that Miss had already made up her mind, she said listlessly, “Miss, I’ll put it away!”
"Hold it carefully and don't damage the cover on top!" Qu Moying smiled gently and slid his fingers over the straps around his waist.
She doesn't need this bottle of medicine urgently, but some people may.
Stay, maybe you will get a pleasant surprise...
The complexion in the mirror looked very delicate, except for the hair on both sides that seemed a little too thick, making people feel heavy and uncomfortable. Originally, she only needed to gently comb down two strands of hair, but now she had to comb down more, so that the whole face lost its color.
Ji Youran lifted up one side of her hair, revealing a scar underneath.
The wound had healed long ago, but the uneven scar made the area look inexplicably uncomfortable, even hideous.
The wound here was almost healed, but then I got hurt again due to allergies and it festered. When it healed again, an obvious uneven scar appeared. Even with the medication, the effect was hardly noticeable. I could only leave two thick scars.
Heavy seasonal hair covers up scars.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince said he was tired and asked you to rest early. He will not come today!" A maid came in and reported tremblingly.
Ji Youran smashed the comb in her hand hard onto the bronze mirror in front of her. The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Someone, take this incompetent girl away and beat her severely, even to death." Ji Youran said viciously.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!" the maidservant screamed.
Two servants came over and started to pull the maid away.
“Madam, please wait a moment!” The maid Shui Ning came in from outside. She lifted the curtain and saw the situation. She knew that the Madam had lost control again, so she hurriedly stood up to stop her and said, “Madam, you can’t do this now... You have to let His Highness know your painstaking efforts. You can’t let a cheap girl ruin all your previous efforts!”
Ji Youran's face turned blue and white, and after a long while he said, "Take him away and give him ten heavy beatings!"
Ten strokes of the board wouldn't kill anyone, so this was considered sparing the maid's life! As for the extent of the injury, that was not something Ji Youran had to consider.
She now has to play the role of her former docile self, the self who had snatched the Crown Prince from Ji Hanyue. At this time, she cannot let the news of beating a servant to death reach the Crown Prince's mouth.
If she wants to get pregnant now, she has to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over more often. Originally, this was not a difficult task. The two of them had been together a long time ago. When Ji Hanyue was around, they had many secret meetings in private. As for later when Ji Hanyue was gone, Pei Luoan lived with her for a while.
It seemed that the prince had slowly neglected her since Ji Hanyue's funeral. Now the prince was going to marry someone new, and she was still just a concubine, and a concubine with a damaged appearance at that. How could Ji Youran be willing to accept this
She wanted to be her old self again, no longer be impulsive, and be careful in flattering others, but the effect was not obvious. The prince seldom came over now, even though she had put in all her efforts.
Is it her beauty that makes His Highness tired of her
Looking back, the woman in the mirror had her hair falling down. Although it looked a little heavy, she was still herself, and still had an outstanding appearance, didn't she
Tears fell one after another, and Ji Youran threw herself in front of the dressing table and cried out in pain. She just wanted a child now, only one child.
A son who can grow into infinite possibilities!
A son who can be registered under Ji Hanyue’s name and survive as Ji Hanyue’s legitimate son…
"My queen, don't be sad. Today I found another bottle of good medicine. The store owner said that the scar will disappear soon after use. You can try it later." Shui Ning knew her pain and whispered, taking out a small porcelain bottle from her arms. "Don't worry, after using it, your appearance will be restored, and His Highness will treat you as before!"
"Does it really work?" Ji Youran gritted her teeth, sat up straight, and looked at the small porcelain bottle expectantly.
"It should be useful. The boss said so." Shui Ning really didn't dare to guarantee it. After hesitating for a moment, she pushed the matter onto the boss.
This kind of thing happens from time to time during this period, but it is never effective.
"Okay, I'll use it, I'll use it right away!" Ji Youran snatched the porcelain, poured out some medicine from it, and applied it on his face carelessly and anxiously in front of the mirror.
In the mirror in front of the dressing table, there is a messy and blurry face smeared with brown...
