Zhang You had almost no time to get used to the three of them.
The four of them seemed to get along naturally and had a tacit understanding with each other.
We can cooperate well without saying much.
The four of them go about their daily routine.
Zhang You and Chunhua helped Qiao Si dress up, while Qiuyue and Dongmei helped Qiao Si put on clothes and jewelry.
Zhang You learned a lot of makeup skills under the guidance of her nanny.
For example, if he is attending a banquet or other important occasion, he should be painted in a dignified and elegant style. If he is going out for a trip, he should be painted in a soft and vibrant style.
In daily life, it all depends on Qiao Si's mood.
If Qiao Si was in a good mood, she would ask Zhang You to do a complicated and delicate makeup for her, like applying a flower ornament or carefully drawing her eyes. If she was in a bad mood, she would just ask Zhang You to draw her eyebrows, paint her lips, and put on some powder.
It had been raining continuously for the past few days, but today was a rare sunny day. Zhang You took advantage of Qiao Si's good mood and carefully put on some daily makeup for her.
Qiao Si looked at her delicate and exquisite face in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss, the princess invites you."
When Cui Liu came back from the kitchen to get food, she brought back a message.
Cui Liu and Hong Mei are the first-class maids beside Qiao Si. Like Jing Zhu, they have been with Qiao Si for a long time.
Qiao Si frowned slightly. Every time she frowned, it gave people the feeling that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"What's up?"
"That person didn't say anything, so it seems there's no rush. Miss, you should have your meal first. It won't be too late to go after dinner."
Cuiliu recalled the man's attitude and spoke carefully. Hongmei came forward to help her set the table.
Qiao Si suddenly didn't have the heart to choose matching clothes and just picked one at random.
Qiuyue and Dongmei helped her get dressed.
She sat down and ate a few bites and stopped eating.
What a small appetite.
Zhang You looked at Qiao Si who had just taken a few bites of another sumptuous breakfast and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although Dingzhou has developed recently, their wages have increased and the food has improved, but their food is definitely not as good as Qiao Si's.
This is a chef from the capital, who is only responsible for cooking for Qiao Si. The others can only eat the meals prepared by the kitchen helper in the small kitchen.
Qiao Si put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed to him by Zhang You, and wiped his mouth gently with an elegant movement.
It's a pleasure to look at.
Her temperament is unique, with a natural and noble air.
Qiao Si stood up and took them to the princess's yard.
Zhang You, Chunhua and others followed behind Hongmei and Cuiliu.
The group of people came in a grand and impressive manner.
When Zhang You stepped into the yard, he saw Juxiang and the others guarding the door.
It seems that Qiao Er is already inside.
I don’t know what’s going on, the door is closed and everything seems mysterious.
The maid guarding the door was very tactful and opened the door for Qiao Si. She walked in and told Zhang You and the others to "wait outside".
It was not good for a group of people to block the door, so Zhang You and the others went to the side eaves to wait.
There are already quite a few idle maids gathered here.
"Hey? Do you know what happened?"
"You don't know yet, right? The cousin from the capital is here."
"My cousin? Isn't she married already? I heard that she married the son of some minister? Why didn't she stay in the capital and come to this remote place like ours?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Is it really possible to talk about this so loudly?"
"Hey, hey, hey, listen to me. In my opinion, my cousin must have had a quarrel with her husband-in-law, otherwise why would she come to Dingzhou alone?
I saw with my own eyes that the cousin's clothes were quite dirty. I'm afraid she must have come all this way here by herself."
"But I heard that my cousin's husband was the top scholar in the imperial examination last year and has already caught up with his father at such a young age. How could such a person bully my cousin?
My cousin is so weak and delicate. Could it be that she suffered great injustice in her husband's family and that's why she turned to the princess? After all, she was raised by the princess.
"Who says it's not true? If she hadn't been wronged in her husband's family, how could she do such a thing given her temperament?"
As soon as Zhang You and the others arrived, they heard them chatting.
The sound was not loud, but just loud enough for them to hear.
Juxiang and the others had followed at some point, and she walked up to Zhang You to say hello.
"Lianxiang, ah, no, I should call you Xiahe. I'm used to calling you that."
Zhang You didn't mind.
"It's okay, just call it a few more times and you'll remember it."
"Hey, Xia He, do you know who is inside?"
Juxiang couldn't help but whisper gossip to Zhang You.
"I heard she's a cousin from the mansion. But I'm new and don't know much about this."
“That’s something you don’t know.
My cousin is the daughter of the prince's brother. However, my cousin's parents died young, and she has relied on the princess to take care of her all these years.
She had been weak as a child and often fell ill. The princess worked hard for a long time and finally found a famous doctor. After many years of treatment, she was almost recovered.
Two years ago, the prince was about to go to war, and the princess also planned to move. However, considering that the cousin was in poor health and was afraid of being tired, she arranged a marriage for her according to her childhood engagement.
The princess took her cousin's marriage very seriously, preparing every detail for her, from the betrothal to the wedding. It's said she even investigated her cousin's husband and found him to be a good character. Since her cousin didn't object, she went ahead with the marriage. Later, she even personally escorted her to the wedding, meticulously preparing her dowry.
After resolving this matter, the princess moved to Dingzhou with her family.
My cousin rarely leaves the house due to her chronic illness. My cousin and her friends attend annual gatherings, but I haven't been to many, and I don't have many friends. My cousin is also gentle and soft-spoken.
I don’t know if it was because of this reason, but I heard that she was bullied by her husband’s family.
They disliked her because she had no parents and no one in the capital to support her. Furthermore, she was soft-hearted and not good at arguing, making her an easy target for bullying. I heard she traveled thousands of miles to find her because she was being bullied so badly.
Zhang You was amazed that she actually had first-hand information!
"How do you know so much?"
She looked at Juxiang with a shocked and confused expression, and Juxiang smiled slightly.
"Of course it's because my cousin rested in the second lady's yard last night."
Actually... ?
However, Qiao Er always seems to have the latest news.
I was following her before, but I didn’t expect that after leaving, Qiao Er’s place is still the birthplace of the latest news.
"You don't know, last night when I was helping my cousin bathe, I saw several wounds on her back! Shocking! They were the wounds she got in her husband's house over the past two years!
I don't know what kind of bad people her husband's family is. My cousin was raised by the princess, and it's only been a short time since she got married. She actually did something like this! She deserves a bad death!
