"You, you're not afraid of freezing yourself." Yu Fuling scolded Yu Jiao and said, "I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Nian came in with a charcoal basin and placed it at Yu Jiao's feet. "My mother cooked ginger soup in the kitchen and was about to bring it to the girls."
After a while, Mrs. Song brought over the ginger soup. Yu Fuling hurriedly handed a bowl to Yu Jiao and another bowl to Liu Yaoyu.
There was no honey or red dates in the ginger soup, so it was a bit spicy for the throat. Liu Yaoyu only took a sip and couldn't swallow it, so she put the bowl on the table. When she turned around, she found that Yu Jiao seemed to have no sense of taste. She drank the whole bowl of ginger soup one sip at a time like drinking tea.
She had clearly finished drinking but was still bringing the bowl to her mouth. Liu Yaoyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Third sister, since you like ginger soup so much, I'll give you this bowl too."
Yu Jiao came back to her senses and tasted ginger in her mouth. She put down the bowl and poured a cup of tea to rinse her mouth.
Yu Fuling saw her distraught look clearly, but because Liu Yaoyu was there, she didn't ask any questions.
When the two were about to leave, Yu Fuling stood up to see them off. When they reached the gate, Liu Yaoyu got on the carriage first. Yu Fuling then took Yu Jiao's hand and asked in a low voice, "But what did Qi Zhe say to make you unhappy?"
Yu Jiao pursed her lips and shook her head. She really didn't know how to tell Yu Fuling. She smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Sister, don't think too much. I'll go back first."
Yu Fuling held her hand tightly and sighed softly, "You asked me to tell Qi Zhe a message yesterday, and I told him when I came back. You know he is always taciturn and won't say much to me. He may just be upset at the moment. If he said something unpleasant, don't bother with him."
Yu Jiao forced herself to smile and said yes, then said goodbye to Yu Fuling and got on the carriage.
Seeing that Yu Jiao looked listless, Liu Yaoyu was worried that she had caught a cold, so she spoke less on the way back.
The word "love" is really sad and incomprehensible, but throughout the ages, the word "love" is the most touching.
After returning to the mansion, Liu Yaoyu helped Yu Jiao get off the carriage and asked with concern, "Third sister, are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. "I'm just a little tired. I should be fine after a good night's sleep."
Liu Yaoyu touched her forehead and felt it was a little hot. She couldn't help but said with some concern, "You should prescribe a prescription for yourself. Don't catch a cold. We still have to go to the Plum Garden the day after tomorrow!"
Yu Jiao nodded and said yes.
Liu Yaoyu always felt that she spoke weakly, so she called Jianjia to help Yu Jiao back to the courtyard, and then reminded Jianjia, "Take good care of the third young lady. If she has a fever, send a maid to tell me immediately."
Jianjia responded respectfully and helped Yu Jiao back to Yingyue Pavilion.
Liu Yaoyu looked at Yu Jiao's departing back and frowned slightly. After her third sister met Master Yu, her face looked a little strange. Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?
The snow fell on and off for two or three days. People would sweep the snow in the yard, and after one night, the yard would be covered with snow again.
On the day we agreed to go to the Plum Garden in the western suburbs, there was still a little snow falling from the sky. Jianjia put a coat on Yu Jiao, and the rabbit fur collar made her face look even whiter and more rosy.
"The maid from East Garden said that the second young lady has packed everything and is waiting for you in the carriage in the front yard." Bai Lu came in and said.
Yu Jiao told Jianjia to take the box of incense pills and go to the front yard.
The carriage stopped beside the screen wall. Liu Yaoyu had already gotten in. Seeing Yu Jiao coming over, she lifted the carriage curtain and waved at Yu Jiao, "Third sister, get in quickly!"
Yu Jiao got on the carriage, and Liu Yaoyu stuffed a hand warmer into her hand. She felt relieved when she saw that her complexion looked better today.
She was worried about Yu Jiao these past two days and went to Yingyue Pavilion several times. Although Yu Jiao did not catch a cold, her complexion was not very good and she was not in the mood to even talk to her. Liu Yaoyu thought that if she went to the Plum Garden to relax today, Yu Jiao's mood might improve.
They first went to the Wu family's villa to pick up Su He. Su He had packed up early in the morning and was waiting for them to come. When she heard the servant's message, Su He hurriedly picked up her pipa and took a maid with her and went to the gate of the villa.
Su He originally didn't want to bring a maid with her, but nothing that happened in this courtyard could be hidden from the Wu family. The Wu family knew that she was going to the Plum Garden in the western suburbs with Yu Jiao, so they sent a message to her, asking her to bring a maid with her.
Su He got on the carriage. Yu Jiao saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so she handed the heater to Su He and said, "Why are you wearing so thin? It must be a bit cold in the garden. Why don't you ask the maid to get you a coat?"
Su He felt warm in her heart and shook her head, "I'm not cold, this jacket is very warm."
All her food, clothing and other expenses in the capital were provided by the Wu family. The old man of the Wu family was not so considerate. Her clothes were prepared when she first came to the capital. Living under someone else's roof, Su He still knew her limits and never asked for anything.
Yu Jiao looked at her, suddenly thought of something, and said nothing more.
It took more than half an hour to reach the Plum Garden in the western suburbs.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a little maid came forward and asked, "Are Miss Liu Er and Miss Liu San here?"
Liu Yaoyu lifted the carriage curtain and recognized the maid as Song Jingrong's maid, "Has your lady arrived?"
The little maid smiled and said, "Our young lady, as well as Miss Wei, Miss Shen, and Miss Cui Wu have all arrived. They entered the garden first and are now waiting for the two young ladies in Xianghai Hall next to the Xixin Spring."
