Chapter 708 Meeting an Old Friend
Seeing that everyone was very curious, Tong Yan stepped forward to help them answer their questions.
"Fubao, this ice cube is obtained from the secret recipe of our family. In the whole Daqi, I guess only our family can produce so much ice cubes at one time."
Fubao's eyes immediately lit up.
"Mother, does our family know how to make ice? That's amazing. I've never heard of it before."
Fubao curious baby is online.
"Fubao, our family's ice-making technique is unique, but if you want to know, I'll ask the manager to write it to you later." Tong Yan was quite generous.
Fubao happily hugged Tongyan's thigh and smiled: "Thank you, mother."
Tong Yan smiled gently and touched Fubao's head.
At this time, a carriage arrived. This carriage was unique to Qinxiang Garden and different from the ones outside. Fu Bao was riding in a winter carriage that day, with thick curtains around to keep out the wind and cold. Now it was summer, and all the curtains were replaced with light and transparent gauze.
The outside cannot see the inside, but the inside can see the outside.
The group used two carriages, each of which could only accommodate four people.
Fubao rode in the same car with Tongyan and Banxia Ali.
"Mother, I have to go meet my friend. We have agreed on a place. Just take me there."
Fubao has a good memory. She has been to this garden before and knows its approximate topography by heart.
"Okay, when you get there, go down. When you're ready to leave, send someone to notify my mother."
"Okay, mother. Grandma and my mother have never been to the garden and are not familiar with this place. Please take good care of them and don't let anyone bully them. I know that those who come to this garden are either rich or noble. I'm afraid they..."
"Don't worry, with my mother here, no one will bully them."
Fubao happily hugged Tongyan's arm and said a lot of nice things, making Tongyan very happy.
"Mother, this is it. I'm here. I see Sister Yinqiao."
Fubao saw Yinqiao standing outside a pavilion waiting from a distance, looking around from time to time.
"Okay, have fun. If you need anything, just tell the servants. We have everything in the garden."
"Yes, all right, mother."
Tong Yan put Fubao down from the carriage and left, without any intention of finding out any news.
The carriages of Old Lady Wan and Second Sister Wan followed behind. When they saw Fubao get off the carriage, they knew that the figure in the pavilion might be Miss Liu.
"Second brother's wife, look, the girl in the pavilion, could it be Miss Liu?"
"Mother, I think it should be, but this maid looks very pretty, and I think Miss Liu, a lady from a wealthy family, must be even better."
Old Mrs. Wan and Second Sister Wan were talking in low voices in the carriage, while Bai Zhi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Madam, Madam, I have seen the young lady of the Liu family. She is a great beauty."
Old Lady Wan was a little embarrassed. "Well, let's go find a nice place to cool off. The scenery along the way is really beautiful, much better than the bare places at our border. I haven't taken a close look at this garden yet, don't come here in vain."
Wan Ersao also quickly laughed it off, both of them felt embarrassed about being exposed.
Fubao has already arrived at the pavilion under Yinqiao's guidance.
"Sister Liu, we finally meet again."
As soon as Fubao saw Liu Shiyu, he ran over, grabbed Liu Shiyu's wrist and laughed.
Liu Shiyu missed Fubao very much.
"Sister Fubao, I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown a lot taller. You've even come up to me."
Liu Shiyu gestured at her belly.
"Of course, I eat a lot of meat every day. Eating meat replenishes my body, so of course I grow fast. But why does Sister Shiyu look thinner than before?"
Liu Shiyu touched her cheek, "Really? I really lost weight?"
Fubao nodded affirmatively, "Yes, if you don't believe me, ask Sister Yinqiao."
Yinqiao stood aside and poured tea for the two of them.
"Miss Fubao, you don't know that our young lady has suffered a lot since returning to the capital. She has just recovered and is busy with her wedding. How can she not lose weight?"
Fu Bao heard the hidden meaning in Yin Qiao's words and immediately asked, "Sister Liu, have you found the person who poisoned you?"
Liu Shiyu nodded.
"It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but I believe in you and am willing to tell you this. You diagnosed me with poisoning before, so my mother began to investigate secretly, but there was no clue. After we returned to the capital, we found out at home that it was my concubine sister who poisoned me. She wanted to kill me so that she could take my place and seek a good marriage. Unfortunately, I came to Dezhou and met you. You are my lucky star. Not only did you save me, but you also gave me a good marriage. Because of this marriage, my father was valued by the emperor and promoted to the cabinet."
Fubao didn't expect that this marriage would be so helpful to the Liu family. However, she didn't understand the affairs of the court, but she knew that Sister Liu had a face that would bring good luck to her husband. Whoever married her would surely have a peaceful family, great wealth, and many children.
Fubao knew all these words herself and didn't tell anyone. She knew that there were some things that could not be revealed. She could assist but couldn't reveal them.
"Sister Liu, how did you deal with your sister?" Fubao asked curiously.
"She has been sent away by my mother. My mother married her to a Jinshi. The Jinshi is a good person. His father is also a fifth-rank official. But my brother-in-law is a good person. He took the initiative to ask to start as a county magistrate. So my half-sister went to work with her brother-in-law as soon as she got married. Without her parents-in-law to serve her, she was free."
Although Fubao doesn't understand how couples get along with each other, after listening to what Liu Shiyu said, he thinks it should be pretty good.
"Then Aunt Liu has found a good home for your sister, right? Aunt Liu is such a nice person."
Liu Shiyu smiled bitterly, "Sister Fubao, you don't understand. Daughters of wealthy families have always had a hard life. Each of us is just a commodity waiting to be sold. I hope you will never understand."
Liu Shiyu envied Fubao in her heart. Although he was not born in a high-class family, he lived a pure and open life.
The two were chatting animatedly, but they didn't know that in an attic not far from the pavilion, Old Lady Wan and Second Sister Wan were sitting by the window. Their line of sight just happened to overlook the people in the pavilion and they could clearly see each other's every move, every frown and smile.
"Second brother's wife, you have to say it. No matter what family background this girl comes from, she is good-looking and has a calm demeanor. I think she is a good match for Quan'er."
"Mom, she is the daughter of a third-rank official, a lady from a noble family, so there is no problem for her to marry Quan'er. Our family is still considered up-and-coming. I hope Quan'er can treat her well in the future. After all, she is marrying a thousand miles away."
"Why did she marry so far away? Isn't Dezhou the ancestral home of the Liu family? I heard that several branches of the Liu family are still in Dezhou."
Wan Ersao slapped her head quickly and said, "Oh, how could I have forgotten about this?"
After meeting her granddaughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Wan was even happier and became more enthusiastic about preparing for the wedding.
In the blink of an eye, it was September, and all members of the Wan family came on this day.
The general's mansion was bustling early in the morning.
