Chapter 483: Stingy, even a few more glances are not allowed
"Hua Qing, why haven't you gone home yet?" Xiao Jiuyue stretched lazily. She had just finished writing the storybook and turned her wrist. This calligraphy was too difficult to write. The wind blowing from the window was cold.
"Miss, I'm on night duty today and won't be going back." Hua Qing took the cloak and put it on Xiao Jiuyue, saying, "Miss, it's getting cold at night. I'm afraid we'll have to light a charcoal brazier tomorrow."
"You don't have to stand guard at home. You should go back so that Jin Wu won't wait for you." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing after she got married. There was a bit more girlish shyness on her face. When she talked about Jin Wu, she still cursed, but there was joy in her eyes.
"What is he waiting for me for? He has to keep watch today too." Hua Qing said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss. We have a place to stay in the mansion. If you feel sleepy at night, you can take a nap. You don't know that he snores at night, it's serious!"
"It's so noisy." Hua Qing said it was noisy, but there was a smile on her face. She said, "I just received some good news. Do you want to hear it, Miss?"
"Since it's good news, of course I have to listen to it." Xiao Jiuyue was eating the midnight snack that had just been delivered. The chicken soup simmered over a low fire was fresh and not greasy. Paired with noodles, this bowl of chicken soup noodles was so delicious that he wanted to eat more.
"Recently, quite a few people have come to listen to the Shang family troupe's performances. Today, Yang Ling told me that someone has invited the Shang family troupe to perform at their residence." Hua Qing said excitedly, "Miss, guess whose family it is?"
"Since you and the Shang family are so happy, they are definitely not an ordinary family. The Third Prince has returned victorious, and the Yongzhao envoy has brought the princess to marry. There aren't many people attending the banquet now. Could it be the Fuguo Duke, the Jiang family?"
When Xiao Jiuyue was chatting with Su Su today, Su Su mentioned that the Fuguo Duke Jiang's family was going to hold a birthday banquet for the old lady of the Jiang family. It was heard that Mrs. Jiang's health was not very good, so they wanted to take the opportunity of holding a birthday banquet to celebrate the old lady's health.
"Amazing!" Hua Qing couldn't help but laugh after listening to Xiao Jiuyue's analysis and said, "Miss, you are really amazing."
"Let the Shang family perform well. If they perform well at the Fuguo Duke's house this time, they'll have a firm foothold in Shengjing in the future." Xiao Jiuyue said encouragingly, "The Fuguo Duke's family is full of loyal and brave people. Although he is no longer in the court, his reputation is well-known and his status is noble."
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely have a good talk with Yang Ling and the others when we get back." Hua Qing instantly felt the pressure doubled. Yang Ling and the others from the Shang Family Troupe not only had to sing well, but also had to sing in a way that made the old lady happy. By the time the Shang Family Troupe had established a firm foothold, Yang Ling could prepare for childbirth with peace of mind!
When the time comes, she will have to watch carefully. If giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for ordinary women, then for women of the Flower Clan, giving birth is even more of a life-or-death struggle.
"Okay, tomorrow you go to Jiayuan to get a new notebook and send it to the Shang family troupe." Xiao Jiuyue thought that Xiao Jiayuan and the others had almost finished copying the Dream of the Red Chamber chapter.
Recently, Xiao Jiuyue has been writing a novel about a poor scholar and a rich girl. There's nothing he can do about it, because the people of South Vietnam love to read and listen to it.
Especially the Yingying Story I wrote before, which received a particularly good response.
"Yes." Hua Qing responded, wishing tomorrow could come soon.
It was late at night, Hua Qing and Dong Gui took over their shifts, and Xiao Jiuyue was organizing the novel she had just written. She always felt that someone was watching her.
"Donggui, is anyone coming?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes and looked out the window. It was pitch black outside and she could not see anything.
"No." Dong Gui lowered her eyes. Her master told her not to let the eldest lady know, so she wouldn't say anything.
"Really?" Xiao Jiuyue stood up and walked to the window.
Dong Gui's eyes fell on a tree not far away, and she walked forward anxiously: "Miss, the wind is cool by the window."
"It's okay." Xiao Jiuyue gathered her cloak and her eyes fell on her yard. The beautiful roses in the daytime could be vaguely seen one by one under the hazy moonlight.
Finally, Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on the trees at the courtyard wall. Her wall was connected to the small lake outside. The lush pine trees were still lush and leafy even in winter.
"Donggui, prepare the car tomorrow and go to Qingfeng Temple." Xiao Jiuyue's gaze was fixed on the pine tree, and she said, "It's getting late, go to bed." After she finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue turned around and went back to the house to rest.
"Yes." Donggui responded and glanced at the place where the pine trees were the most dense. It was pitch black. I guess, he didn't see it, right?
A dark shadow on the pine tree moved. When it saw Xiao Jiuyue's figure disappear by the window, it chuckled softly, "You're so stingy. You can't even look at me a few more times."
…
"Yuer."
Just as Xiao Jiuyue was about to go out, she ran into her eldest brother Xiao Jialing. She looked at Xiao Jialing and said, "Brother, are you okay today?"
Although the autumn harvest was completed, the court also wanted to try whether it was possible to plant cabbage and radishes after the autumn harvest, just like Hongdu did, and pickle them into sauerkraut and kimchi. Having more radishes is better than having nothing to eat.
Therefore, Xiao Jialing, who thought he could take a break after the autumn harvest, has been busy all the time.
"The radishes and cabbages in the suburbs of Beijing have been planted, and the fertilizers are being applied according to the method. I'm going to rest today." Xiao Jialing has not returned to the Xiao Mansion for several days because he has been busy with work. He only returned home at night yesterday.
I was afraid of missing Xiao Jiuyue today, so I waited here early.
"Brother, you have worked hard these days. You should have a good rest today. Are you going out so early?" Xiao Jiuyue smiled and pretended not to know what Xiao Jialing was thinking.
"Yes." Xiao Jialing felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Xiao Jiuyue and hesitated to ask, "Where are you going, Yue'er?" He had inquired yesterday. Yue'er was preparing a carriage today and was going to Qingfeng Temple.
"Qingfeng Temple, to see Sister Cui." As Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, she could clearly feel Xiao Jialing's eyes light up, and the three big words "I want to go" were almost written on his forehead, but his lips moved and he didn't say it for a long time.
Xiao Jiuyue had been waiting for Xiao Jialing to speak. After a long while, she heard Xiao Jialing pull out a bottle from his arms and say, "Didn't you say last time that Miss Cui had a scar on her face? This is the scar cream I found... It's very effective."
The glass bottle was obviously not an ordinary bottle. Xiao Jiuyue asked, "Brother, where did this come from?"
Xiao Jiuyue took the bottle, opened it, and sniffed it. It smelled faintly of medicine. Based on her knowledge from studying medicine for over six months, she knew that this was made from some precious medicinal herbs. She said, "This should be something from the palace, right?"
The palace was home to many famous doctors from all over the world, and many medicinal herbs were known for their preciousness.
"Don't worry about where it came from. It wasn't stolen or robbed. Just give it to Miss Cui." Xiao Jialing was embarrassed to say that he had asked someone to get it from the palace.
"That won't do." Xiao Jiuyue stuffed it directly into his arms and said, "Giving gifts should be done in a way that shows sincerity. Big brother, aren't you free today? Come with me to Qingfeng Temple!"
Xiao Jialing guarded the bottle like a treasure, fearing that it would be broken by Xiao Jiuyue's rough action. After hearing her words, his eyes brightened up: This is really his good sister.
