"Let's wait a little longer," Qu Moying said indifferently.
"My lady, why should we wait a little longer? Since you are already handling the family affairs, can't we send someone to investigate Madam's dowry?" Granny Zhou asked in confusion.
"There's no hurry." Qu Moying shook her head, already having an idea in her heart.
Yu was grounded. No matter what Qu Zhizhen's goal was, there was at least one thing that she was sure of—Yu's power will not extend too far for now.
The affairs in the mansion had fallen into Qu Qiuyan's hands before. This time, Qu Qiuyan must have also interfered in this matter. At this time, Qu Moying could be considered to have gained half of Qu Qiuyan's power to handle the family affairs. Qu Qiuyan was not going to be happy about this.
After scheming against her again and again, no matter how much Qu Qiuyan could endure, Qu Moying was afraid that Qu Qiuyan would not be able to endure it no
"Grandmother, why did Duke Qi's Mansion give us the invitation?" Qu Moying asked the Old Lady curiously. She flipped through Duke Qi's Mansion's invitation.Sitting opposite her was Qu Qiuyan, who was called over by the Old Lady. She was also surprised.An old aristocratic family like Duke Qi's Mansion had a distinguished status. Yu's status wasn't high enough to communicate with Duchess Qi. As a result, Duke Qi's Mansion had never sent invitations to Qu Mansion."I don't know either. I heard that your father used some kind of method." The Old Lady said with a smile. Originally, she didn't like to go out, but this time, she must go out to take a look. If she didn't go, Qu Mansion's several ladies couldn't go out too. As of now, Yu couldn't attend the banquet.Thus, the Old Lady had to be there herself.The fourth lady's marriage could not be delayed for too long. It wasn't just the fourth lady. Efforts had to be
When they arrived at East Mansion, Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying did not see Luo from the first branch. They heard that she had just left.Not managing to see Luo, the two sisters planned to come back, but when they went out, they saw Qu Caiyue.Since the last time they came back, it was the first time they saw Qu Caiyue.When Qu Caiyue saw the two of them, she was also slightly stunned."Second Sister, why didn't you go out with Aunt Luo? I heard that Aunt Luo brought Eldest Sister out today." Qu Qiuyan had an idea and asked with a smile.When they went to ask just now, the maid from the first branch told them that Luo had something to do and had gone out of the city with Qu Xuexin. However, the maid didn't explain it in detail.Qu Moying bowed to Qu Caiyue."Qiuyan..." Qu Caiyue didn't seem to be in good spirits. She glanced at Qu Moying with impatience in her eyes, feeling that Qu Moying w
"Your Highness." Ji Youran hurried to the yard where Crown Prince lived. When she reached the door, she composed herself and asked someone to go in and report. Then, she followed that person inside. When she saw Pei Luo'an, she immediately bowed. Her eyes were weak and red. She looked extremely pitiful!"What is it?" Pei Luo'an glanced at her indifferently, and a trace of impatience flashed through his eyes.In the past few days, Ji Youran had used this matter to trouble him a lot. It wasn't that he didn't want to help the Ji Family's second branch inherit the title, but there really was nothing he could do now.Thinking of how Father had reprimanded him just now, Pei Luo'an felt depressed.Most importantly, at that time, Pei Yuanjun was still there. Pei Yuanjun's eyes were as if smiling, and he leaned against the chair railing. Pei Yuanjun looked at Pei Luo'an with a bit of ridicule in his eyes, which made Pei Luo'an even m
Outside of the Empress' Pepper House Hall, Lord Yun slowly walked over."My lord, this way, please. The Empress has been waiting for you for a long time." Pepper House Hall's manager eunuch had been waiting there for a long time. He smiled and said."Other than me, who else has come?" Pei Yuanjun said unhurriedly.He came to the Empress' Pepper House Hall because of the Emperor's order, and he naturally knew the purpose."Lord Jing, Lord Wei, and Lord Yan have also come." The manager eunuch smiled. "They have arrived early and are waiting for you.""Oh, are you blaming me for coming late?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows, curling up the corner of his mouth.The manager eunuch was shocked. He hurriedly shook his head. "It's not that. The Empress is not ready yet. It's just that those Lords came early, but you are not late, my lord."No matter how late Lord Yun was, the manager eunuch did
The so-called first-sight attraction referred to Qu Moying!WIth Qu Moying's identity, she could at most be a Princess. What the Empress meant in her words was very clear. If Pei Yuanjun did not decide on a Princess Consort, Qu Moying, as the so-called Princess, would not be able to marry into the mansion.Even if Pei Yuanjun was attracted to Qu Moying at first sight, it was impossible for her to marry into the mansion without Pei Yuanjun marrying a Princess Consort first.Obviously, the Empress was probing Pei Yuanjun by saying these words. Was the woman who could make Pei Yuanjun stop refusing marriage just a casual excuse?"Thank you, Your Grace. However, I don't know who my Princess Consort would be. I'm afraid I might not be able to find one so soon. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry to marry. So I'll have to trouble you, Your Grace." Pei Yuanjun stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands slightly. He said with an unknown me
After Qu Moying finished speaking, she left with her maid. She was not the least bit curious about Qu Caiyue's incident.Seeing Qu Moying leave without a care, Qu Caiyue became furious. She crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball and then gritted her teeth. She ordered the maid beside her to invite Qu Qiuyan over.Qu Qiuyan did not come quickly. Only after a long time did she bring Qing Ju over. She was now a busy person in the mansion. How could she be as relaxed as before?"Qiuyan, it's not working." As soon as she saw Qu Qiuyan come in, Qu Caiyue hurriedly sat up straight on the bed and said."Not working?" Qu Qiuyan sat down on a chair by the bed, her face gloomy. "Second Sister, didn't you say that this is a small matter?""That blind girl is really too difficult to deal with," Qu Caiyue said with a headache."If you can't even handle such a small matter, Second Sister, you can forget
It was not Qu Caiyue herself who stopped Qu Moying. It was the maid serving her. It was said that the person who came to West Mansion to report that day was exactly this private maid.When she saw Qu Moying coming over, she turned around from the side of the road."Greetings, Fourth Lady.""What is it?" Qu Moying stopped and asked."My lady is waiting for you in the waterside pavilion ahead, Fourth Lady. She would like to talk to you," the maid said, pointing back. Yuedong Gate was there. Walking past Yuedong Gate, one would see West Mansion's biggest lotus pond. The waterside pavilion platform had a good view. It was a good place to admire the scenery.Although it was not the time for lotus flowers to bloom, there would be some small flower buds appearing from time to time.Qu Moying nodded, followed the maid to walk past Yuedong Gate, and headed toward the lotus pond. She happened to want to draw
No one had expected that Lord Jing Pei Yusheng and Lord Wei Pei Qingmin would actually be in Qu Mansion.They had come secretly, and they were only walking around casually in Qu Mansion at this time. They had not expected to see such a scene in front of them."Fourth Lady Qu is the one whose marriage engagement was annulled before. She looks capable though. The other one is the Second Lady." Pei Yusheng pointed at the waterside pavilion and said casually."Fourth Lady Qu?" Lord Wei's face was pale and sickly. He hadn't walked too far just now, but he was already a little out of breath. At this time, he stopped walking. He, too, saw the scene just now clearly. The corners of his lips curved silently, carrying a bit of ridicule. He naturally recognized Qu Mansion's Fourth Lady.Sure enough, rumors could not be trusted.It was said that the Fourth Lady was extremely pitiful. She was envied by her stepmother and had
"Miss Liu, the king said that there is no female master in the residence, so he is not in a position to receive you, and asked if there is anything important you need?" A guard descended from the steps and walked to Liu Lanxin's carriage, giving a respectful salute inside.Liu Lanxin's carriage was again blocked in front of the Ying Wang Mansion."It's an important matter, a message from father's side." Liu Lanxin reached out and pressed the cuff of his sleeve, there was indeed a letter there, a letter to the King of England.The guards didn't dare to delay the border matter and said to Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu wait a moment."After saying that, he turned around and went inside to report.This time it took a little longer to get in, long enough for the originally chesty Liu Lanxin to feel like things weren't a little unexpected again.Finally, the guards reappeared and smiled at Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu, our king invites you in.""Good!" A big sto
Zhu Yan'er did not expect Yu Dong actually remembered her, and also demolished her identity, but in her reaction is also fast, slightly flustered after, immediately asked with a smile; "Which house are you from?""Slave servant is from the Qu Mansion, Miss Zhu, please." Yu Dong moved to the side and reached out to lead the way to the private room.Zhu Yan'er this is also difficult to ride the tiger, had to make a look with a few points of bewilderment to the private room, as if she really did not mean it, originally just want to make some trouble out of it, and now also put themselves into it.Yu Dong, the maid, was still recognized by the people around her just now.Her features carried a bit of the innate cluelessness of a young girl, easily inviting, and while some were skeptical, there was a part of her that was immediately convinced that she was truly innocent.It's just the maids under her that are petulant.A maid is not good, even the mast
That rather strange Mr. Zhao was actually amongst the crowd, standing with his hands behind his back under a store on one side, watching the slowly moving carriages on the street.Looking at his upright posture, it is hard to believe that he actually also came to see the fun, should be coincidentally encountered, and he has been blocked up like himself."Mr. Zhao?" Yu Dong saw her stop moving and her gaze looked over.Qu Mo Ying nodded and turned to leave after a couple more looks.Down the stairs, got into the carriage, followed the traffic slowly forward, the curtain of the window of the car outside a layer had been picked up before, the inner layer is made of yarn, from the inside can see the outside, but the outside can not see clearly inside.It wasn't annoying to pass by while looking at the passersby on both sides of the road.See that Zhao Gongzi again, a flash, in fact, did not see clearly, this Zhao Gongzi seems to be talking to a person
"Is it Fourth Miss Qu?" Outside was a maid, looking a little familiar, Yu Dong thought a little and immediately recognized it."It's our young lady." With a slight smile, she stepped forward and replied, giving a bow to the woman standing behind her, Miss Liu Lanxin, the daughter of the Auxiliary General, still wearing the appearance of a thin veil over her eyes."Our lady is from the Auxiliary General's residence, and we have met your lady before." The maiden laughed."Slave girl will go report to our young lady." Yu Dong turned around and went in, and when she came out again she invited Miss Liu in."Miss Liu!" Qu Mo Ying stood up and saluted.Liu Lanxin also smiled and gave a salute, and the two of them politely took their seats."Fang looked like Fourth Miss Qu, so I came over to meet her." Liu Lanxin smiles, "Since the last time I saw Fourth Miss Qu, I didn't expect to see her after such a long time."The last time the two met was in th
The carriage slowly moved forward, Qu Mo Ying sat in the carriage, there has been a period of time did not go to the auxiliary to visit, this time to take advantage of the matter of clothes to go by the way to go to the Yueyi Pavilion to take a look.Qi Gongfu today and sent people over, said some details of the matter, the dowager lady thought to also pay attention to some details, never let people from the top of the clothes than the Qi Gongfu.The more clothes cabinet is doing this kind of business, Qu Mo Ying got the meaning of the dowager lady to the more clothes cabinet to pick some of their own, but also with the shopkeeper Yang aunt to discuss how to better, this aspect of Yang aunt can be regarded as a competent hand, the most will help people accessorize the clothes, some small details, it is possible to affect the overall feeling."Why is it still stuck in traffic?" The carriage had been stuck in the traffic jam for some time, Qu Mo Ying gently lifted th
Sister Miao was from the northern border and had come to the capital before to find someone to join her.In fact, it's not really a family member, just looking for the original village old folks, the village because of a disaster, almost no one escaped again.This part of the past, what Qu Mo Ying knew was not clear, this was Sister Miao's hidden pain, since Sister Miao was not willing to talk about it in detail, she would not force her.In the next period of time, the Duke of Qi's residence sent people over from time to time to deal with some small problems in the details, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake.Attitude prudent so that Mrs. Qu feel that the Duke of Qi is not too much attention, originally just change one of the three, is not the most important set of clothes at the time of the big make-up.Qi Gongfu so practice let her a lot of pressure, as if Qi Gongfu do more than she this pro-grandmother, but also on the heart, is to sho
"Miss, this is the jewelry sent by the Duke of Qi's residence, saying that it's for use with the clothes." Yu Dong walked in with a gift box in her hand.The gift box was put down, and after Sister Yan walked over and opened it, she took a look at it and nodded, "Miss, this is an excellent set of jewelry, it's very suitable for a maturity dress, and I'm afraid the value of this isn't small.""After dispensing, send it back." Qu Mo Ying's eyes were pale as he said."Sending it back, miss, I'm afraid this is not in keeping with etiquette!" Sister Yan shook her head, a big family, since it was sent, where was the reason to return it."The Duke of Qi gave me such a big gift, where can I accept it raw, I have to return the gift, choose one of similar value and return the gift!"Qu Mo Ying thought for a moment and said, she was not willing to owe the Duke of Qi at all, as long as she thought of her mother's death, she felt that the jewelry in front of her wei
"Mother, what is the matter you called me over for?" As Liu Jingyu entered, she playfully bowed to Mrs. Liu."Sit here mother." Mrs. Willow beckoned to her.Seeing her mother's rare closeness, Liu Jingyu was in quite a good mood as she took two steps forward and sat down next to Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Jingyu to say something."Mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mrs. Liu in this form, Liu Jingyu's face sank and she asked eagerly."There is nothing much, just heard the news that came from the Duke of Qi's house before, and felt ..." Mrs. Liu sighed a long breath, and the words came here, and for a while she actually couldn't go on."What did Grandmother do again? Something to do with Qu Mo Ying?" Liu Jingyu asked almost intuitively.The feeling as if she was a natural enemy immediately lifted her spirits.Mrs. Liu nodded gently, "Your maternal grandmother recently did not know what was wrong, but actually so close to this y
"What does Mrs. Qi mean?" Mrs. Qu looked at the matron of the Duke of Qi's house in front of her and said in surprise."Qu second lady's matter, we all feel guilty all over the house, the old Duke of State almost wanted to move to Jiangnan, directly to Qu second lady's father to ask for forgiveness, but the Duke of State did not agree, the old Duke of State must be older after all, I heard that the Qu fourth young lady is going to have her maturity rite, our dowager lady's intention, want to make a set of clothes for the Qu fourth young lady."The granny sent by the Duke of Qi's residence was very good at talking, sighing, feeling, and finally longing.The people of the King's House came and left with great fanfare, a little inquiring to know the meaning of the King's House, actually want to make a set of dresses for this Qu fourth young lady at the time of the maturity of the big makeup."His Highness the King of England has already sent someone."
