While helping her change clothes, Zhenzhu replied, “This was sent by Wenzhu this morning. He said it was for you by Third Master Shen.”
Su Qingyu slapped her forehead, remembering what happened that morning. If Zhenzhu hadn't mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten it.
"What are they?" Su Qingyu asked casually.
Zhenzhu was buttoning her nightgown. Upon hearing this, she smiled and replied, "I don't know what it is. Master Shen asked Wenzhu to deliver something. He has something to tell you."
Su Qingyu glanced at her sideways, "What did he say that makes you laugh like this?"
Zhenzhu cleared her throat and said seriously, "Wenzhu asked me to tell Miss that the Third Master said that he owed you for letting you observe mourning. He will slowly replenish what you haven't eaten, worn, or worn."
Su Qingyu turned and walked to the dressing table and opened the top box. When she saw what was inside, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Is Shen Zhixiu treating her like a child?
It turned out to be a variety of dried meats and meat jerky, more than a dozen packages in total. Each package had words written on the outside: Tianshan Yak Jerky, Pingyao Meat Jerky, etc.
The second box contained a complete set of top-quality gold and jade headpieces. They looked familiar to her and she vaguely remembered that it was one of the treasures of Fanjinlou.
The last box contained a bright red brocade cape with a peacock pattern and a collar trimmed with pure white fox fur.
Pearl jokingly said on the side: “Miss, Mr. Shen is really thoughtful to you.”
Su Qingyu recalled what she had said casually that day in Ruyi Tower and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It must be my words that day that made him suspicious."
That day, she jokingly mentioned the mourning period, and Mr. Shen probably felt bad about it, so he sent her something to compensate her.
Su Qingyu told Zhenzhu to put away the clothes and jewelry, and to place the dried meat on the table. She told the other maids to share some, and she would give the rest to Su Shunci tomorrow.
After Lin's miscarriage, Aunt Lian and Su Qingyu took care of her closely. Mr. Zhou came every two days to check her pulse and adjust the prescription.
Su Chengye hadn't come once in the past few days, and the old lady had only come once, and she didn't look in a good mood.
Aunt Xue brought Su Yihui to visit twice, but Su Qingyu sent them away directly.
Two days later, Lin Wuchen came back from his errands and hurried to the house with some supplements, staying for half a day.
All the high-quality supplements available in the capital, as well as those from the Lin family’s warehouse, were moved into Ziwei Garden in a continuous stream.
Lin's health was getting better day by day.
That day, Su Qingyu was having dinner with Lin when she saw Zhenzhu coming in and winking at her.
Su Qingyu understood what he meant, and after dinner she left the inner room calmly.
The master and servant stood in the corridor. Zhenzhu came close to her and whispered, "Miss, Yuetao sent a message saying that the Marquis wrote a memorial in Shaohua Hall last night requesting the establishment of a crown prince."
Su Qingyu's expression changed. "He wants to make Su Yuanche the crown prince?"
They are so anxious to establish a crown prince before their mother even finishes her confinement. They are such a heartless bunch.
Zhenzhu replied, "I heard from Yuetao that the Marquis took the memorial with him when he went to court this morning."
After that, she asked tentatively, “Miss, are you going to ask Mr. Shen for help?”
In Zhenzhu's opinion, her young lady should have no way to do anything about the matter of appointing a crown prince. After all, women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court.
Su Qingyu twisted her hands together and frowned into the shape of a "川" character.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry about it. Let's wait until the imperial edict comes."
She still has witnesses and physical evidence in her hands. If Gu Ruoyun does not admit that the child is hers, then Su Yuanche is not a member of the Su family.
If Gu Ruoyun dared to admit it, then Su Yuanche was the child she conceived when she was the young mistress of the Cheng family. She would be charged with adultery, and the identity of the child was even more uncertain.
And there is Zhou Bu Ren, she has always asked her third cousin to send people to monitor him.
As soon as the master and servant finished talking, the housekeeper Su Zhong entered Ziwei Garden with a note in his hand.
"Miss, this is the invitation from Mr. Shen San to you." Su Zhong handed over the name card with gold border with both hands.
Su Qingyu took it and looked at it. It was Shen Zhixiu inviting her to have lunch together at Ruyi Tower at noon.
"Tell the messenger that I will be there on time."
After going in and saying something to Mrs. Lin, Su Qingyu returned to the Bishui Pavilion to put on makeup and change clothes.
"Miss, do you want to wear the headdress that Mr. Chen San gave you?" Zhenzhu asked from the side.
Su Qingyu shook her head, "Too high-profile." After thinking for a moment, she said, "Take out that red brocade cloak."
Pearl went to get her clothes with a beaming look on her face, while Amber helped her comb her hair and put on her jewelry.
Since Su Qingyu often went out of the house, two of the four maids were in charge of the interior and two were in charge of the outside affairs.
After getting dressed, Su Qingyu went out with the hand warmer, jade and agate.
Yesterday, grain from Jiangnan was transported to the capital, the price of grain in the capital dropped completely, and the refugees outside the city were properly resettled.
Su Qingyu looked outside through the gap in the car window and saw that the capital had returned to its state before the disaster in the northwest.
On the third floor of Ruyi Building, the private room at the very edge.
When Su Qingyu pushed the door open, Shen Zhixiu had already ordered the dishes.
Seeing her wearing that brocade cloak, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised.
"Come on, sit down. The food has just arrived." Shen Zhixiu said in a gentle voice.
Feicui helped Su Qingyu take off her cloak, took the hand warmer, and then retreated out the door.
Su Qingyu sat down across from Shen Zhixiu and glanced at the dishes on the table. They were all the same dishes she had ordered last time, not a single vegetarian dish.
"Third Master, I was just joking last time. I didn't mean to eat so much meat every meal." Su Qingyu couldn't help but explain.
Shen Zhixiu touched his chin and asked the waiter to add two more vegetarian dishes.
The two of them had a very amicable meal. After they finished, Su Qingyu asked, "Third Master, did you ask me out? Is there something wrong?"
Shen Zhixiu took out a memorial and handed it to Su Qingyu.
"Look, do you know about this?"
Su Qingyu could guess without even looking at it that it was the memorial submitted by Su Chengye requesting the establishment of a crown prince.
She just couldn't understand how this thing fell into Shen Zhixiu's hands. Shouldn't it be sent to the Minister of Rites? This kind of memorial did not need to be reviewed by the emperor or the cabinet.
"Intercepted by you?" Su Qingyu didn't even look at the memorial. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.
