Chapter 366: Seeing Each Other
Gong Qianyue took Qin Huiyin and her sister to meet a few ladies and became familiar with them. However, she was soon pulled away by those ladies. After all, she didn't like them, but other ladies did. She has always been popular, and at this time she was pulled by them to act as a military advisor and give them advice on their major life events.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu asked the old nanny to take them to a peach forest to rest. The peach forest was where the young ladies of the Zhu family had tea and small gatherings. It was a quiet place and few people usually went there.
"Yinyin, my stomach hurts and I feel uncomfortable." Tang Luwu said.
"I remember that your period is almost coming, right..." Qin Huiyin said in a low voice.
Tang Luwu touched her belly and nodded: "Possibly. What should I do? I forgot to bring that thing with me."
"It doesn't matter. Where there are women, how can there be a lack of such things?" Qin Huiyin instructed the two maids to stay here to watch over Tang Luwu, and she would go find the maid of the Zhu family and take care of it with just some money.
Zhilan and Sujin followed Qin Huiyin out of the peach forest. This peach forest was really a quiet place. They walked for a long time without seeing anyone. Finally, they saw someone in front of them and hurriedly called out to the person in front.
"Excuse me……"
Qin Huiyin walked over and saw that person stopped. It turned out to be a young man.
The man was evasive, facing her with his side face, and asked in a mosquito-like voice: "What's the matter?"
"It's like this. We are guests of the Zhu Mansion and now we want to find the servants of the Zhu Mansion. However, this peach forest is too big. We seem to have gone in the wrong direction and can't get out. Do you know how to get out?" Qin Huiyin asked.
The man called out, "Zhu Fu."
A young servant came over and said with a smile, "Master, I am here."
"This guest wants to leave the peach forest. You take them out."
"Okay!" Zhu Fu said to the man, and then said to Qin Huiyin, "Dear guest, please come this way."
"Thank you very much."
It was not until Qin Huiyin left that the man turned around, revealing half of his face that had been burned.
Under the guidance of Zhu Fu, Qin Huiyin quickly found the maid in the mansion, bought an unused menstrual belt from her, and asked her to lead the way back.
Since the peach blossom forest is a place for ladies to drink tea and gather, there are of course places to rest and clean toilets. Tang Luwu went to change her menstrual belt, and then sat in the peach forest with Qin Huiyin for a while.
"Yinyin, what are you looking at?" Tang Luwu came back after changing her things and drank some hot water. She didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Qin Huiyin looked at the painting on the wall and said, "Look at this painting. There is a small boat in a lake with a person standing on it, neither paddling nor doing anything else. There are whirlpools all around, which means it is very dangerous. Not far away, there are flowers blooming, birds singing, and beautiful scenery everywhere. But this person is in a dangerous lake, as if he has trapped himself there. The person who painted it must be very distressed!"
"I don't understand paintings, but what you said makes sense." Tang Luwu said, "Yinyin, how long are we going to stay here?"
"When they are done with the matchmaking, I'm sure they will send someone to look for us." Qin Huiyin said, "This kind of matchmaking between aristocratic families is a powerful union, and we can't just join in the fun."
Zhilan walked in, followed by several maids, each holding a variety of exquisite pastries in their hands.
"Miss Qin, Miss Tang, our young lady said she was a little slow today, please forgive me. This was specially sent by our young lady. If you two young ladies need anything else, just tell the maids."
This is the head maidservant beside Zhu Hongxiu. I saw her just now when she was dressing up.
"Please tell your young lady that this peach forest is elegant, and the bamboo building in the forest is a good place to visit. I see there are many ancient books and famous paintings here. I wonder if I can look through one or two?"
"Young ladies, please do as you please. Our young lady usually invites her sisters to come to the mansion to play and she will also recite poems and paint here. Hey, why hasn't the eldest young master's painting been taken down yet?" The maid saw the painting of a lonely boat and reached out to take it down, explaining as she put it away, "A few days ago, several young masters were competing in poetry, and the second young lady hung up the eldest young master's painting and asked everyone to write poems with it. She forgot to take it down."
"Has anyone made it?" Qin Huiyin asked.
The maid shook her head: "The eldest young master's paintings always reveal sadness, and the masters have no way to match his paintings with poems."
"This painting doesn't need poetry." Qin Huiyin said, "No poetry, that's the best poem."
The maid looked at Qin Huiyin in surprise: "Our eldest master said the same thing. He said that his paintings only need to be paintings, not poems."
"This young master is really a strange man. As the young master of the Shangshu Mansion, he has a noble status, but his paintings are so sad." Tang Luwu said.
"Our eldest young master..." The maidservant quickly shut up, "I still have to obey the master's orders. I will take my leave first."
After the maid left, Tang Luwu ate some snacks and found a soft couch to take a nap.
Qin Huiyin couldn't stay idle, so she visited the bamboo building, looked at many paintings, and read many ancient books by famous authors.
"This book is not placed here." A gentle voice sounded.
Qin Huiyin turned around in confusion and saw a man wearing a veil. She recognized the man's voice and said, "You are the young man who asked someone to take us out just now. Thank you so much for that."
"You're welcome." Zhu Jingxuan finished in a low voice, "The books here are arranged in a certain order. The one you just put back is in a set with the other five. If you don't put it back, the next person who wants to read it won't be able to find it."
"Sorry, I really didn't notice. Are you the eldest son of the Zhu family?" Qin Huiyin asked.
Zhu Jingxuan was silent for a moment: "Why do you ask this?"
"You just summoned a servant. If you were a servant, you would not wear such nice clothes, nor would you let the servants be so respectful to you. You can enter and leave the bamboo building freely, and you attach great importance to these ancient books in the bamboo building, as if they were your own things. I believe that most of these ancient books were collected by you or collected by your family for you." In addition, this person's temperament is very consistent with the painting just now.
Zhilan's voice came from downstairs: "Miss, Miss Zhu sent someone to tell her that she wants you and the eldest lady to come over!"
I guess the meeting is over, the men have gone to other courtyards, and now it is time for the sisters to have a private chat.
After seeing so many men just now, the girls should have already made up their minds. If they meet a good one, they may be targeted by several men at the same time. The next poetry meeting will probably not be peaceful again.
Don't mention it, she was actually quite curious. If she didn't want to be picked on like a cabbage on a stall, she wouldn't have to hide and would have just watched the show on the spot.
