After waking up, Yu Jiao was sweating and a little thirsty. She got out of bed and poured herself a cup of tea. The cool water rolled down her throat and she felt a little better.
Jianjia heard the noise and walked in. "Miss, are you awake? The weather is getting hotter. The old lady cooked some mung bean soup in the courtyard and just had someone send some to you. Would you like a bowl?"
Yu Jiao nodded, "I'm sweating, I want to take a shower."
"I'll ask the kitchen to boil some water." Not long after Jianjia went out, she came back with mung bean soup.
After drinking a bowl of mung bean soup, Yu Jiao went to the cubicle to take a shower. Her whole body was immersed in the warm water, and she felt comfortable as if she was tightly wrapped.
After bathing, Yu Jiao felt better. She moved some spices onto the soft low table and prepared to make some scented pills to take to Pingliang Prefecture as gifts in case of emergency.
Yu Jiao spent an entire afternoon making ten boxes of scented pills, and also prepared a calming sachet for Old Madam Liu using medicinal materials, and sent Wei San to deliver it to Baoshou Hall.
After a while, Wei San came back from Baoshou Hall and told him that the old lady asked Yu Jiao to have dinner in her courtyard. So Yu Jiao went to Baoshou Hall to have dinner with the old lady.
Old Madam Liu was born in Pingliang Prefecture. She told Yu Jiao a lot of interesting stories about Pingliang Prefecture at the dinner table. If she were not too old and not strong enough to withstand the hard journey, the old lady would also want to go back and see her old friends.
After dinner, the old lady winked at Mama Liu, and Mama Liu went into the inner room. After a while, she came out with a wooden box and placed it in front of Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao opened the wooden box and saw a stack of silver bills and gold nuggets inside. She said hurriedly, "Grandma, I don't need these..."
"Although Pingliang Prefecture is our family, we still have to carry some money with us when we go out. Yaoyu has her mother, so she won't be short of money. This little pocket money is from grandma, so don't refuse it." Seeing that Yu Jiao wanted to say something, Madam Liu patted her hands and pretended to be angry, "Do you still have to be so polite and distant with grandma?"
After hearing what the old lady said, Yu Jiao could not refuse and had to accept it obediently. However, she still said to Old Lady Liu, "My elder brother gave me a shop, and I opened a shop selling paper and pens. I also have some income on weekdays. Grandma, don't worry that I have no money to spend."
Madam Liu smiled and said, "What Ziqi gave you was a token of his love, and what grandma gave you was a token of her love. I am old now, and I don't have much use for money on weekdays. It will make grandma happy if I give it to my good granddaughter."
Yu Jiao's nose felt a little sore. Since she grew up with her grandfather, she was deeply moved by what the old lady said.
"Grandmother, I went to the palace to see Concubine Xue today. She asked me about my fifth brother." Maybe she was too upset and had no one else to talk to. She spoke to the kind old lady Liu as if she were her grandfather. She was full of admiration and naturally said, "She wants to arrange a marriage between my fifth brother and the Princess of Changle County."
Although Old Lady Liu had only met Yu Qizhe once, she was deeply impressed by him. Old Lady Liu looked calm and did not seem surprised. She said, "Yu Wulang is not only handsome, but also won the first place at a young age. He is not an ordinary person. It is not surprising that the Xue family would like him."
She smiled, "I originally thought that you had such a close relationship with him, and he was your father's disciple. Yaoyu is also at the age of marriage, so it would be great if we could get married."
