Chapter 42 Moving to Lanyuan
The day Yun Qiao moved to Lan Garden, she and her maid carried her things there early in the morning.
For fear that someone would see her and become jealous, causing more trouble, she said goodbye to the sisters in Xiaoxiang Garden the night before.
The person she was most reluctant to part with was Fang Jia. As for Zhang Yuqing, Yun Qiao didn't pay much attention to her and instead went to Cheng Danmei.
Lianxiang and Sun Sisi happened to be there, so they talked together.
No matter where she lives now, there is no doubt that she has lived a comfortable and relaxing life in Xiaoxiang Garden.
After entering Lan Garden, Yun Qiao behaved herself and stayed quietly in her own courtyard.
Chen Jingyan, who was injured that day, had not come to see her for the past few days, so Yun Qiao was happy to have some peace and quiet. She had never been an active person, especially when it came to the inner house disputes.
That day, Qinggao Yunqiao had just gotten up and washed up when she heard two young maids standing guard outside the gate of Lanyuan talking.
"This person just moved to Lanyuan. Could it be that he has fallen out of favor? I heard that the old lady invited the eldest daughter of the Wang family. She said that the eldest daughter of the Wang family is skilled in medicine and can help the Marquis with acupuncture."
"That one is really pitiful. The one we serve is unable to bear children. I'm afraid she won't even be able to become a concubine in this life."
Yun Qiao listened curiously, picked up a handful of pumpkin seeds and stood at the doorstep.
"I think so too. How can you be a concubine if you can't have children?"
"Yeah, it's just pitiful for us two." The maid agreed, and after she finished speaking, she realized that it was the two of them who were talking in front of her, so how come there was suddenly another person talking to them.
After turning around and seeing the man clearly, the two frightened maids quickly stepped back.
"Miss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have talked about her behind her back."
Yun Qiao continued to eat melon seeds, leaning against the doorstep, gently waving her hand, and then said, "Don't be afraid, I like to hear gossip too. You guys continue."
"I dare not..."
Yun Qiao really wanted to hear the news about the eldest daughter of the Wang family. It wasn't for the purpose of competing for favor, but she was thinking about how far the relationship between the eldest daughter of the Wang family and the Marquis had developed, and she had made plans to back off.
"Has the eldest daughter of the Wang family already entered the Marquis' Mansion?" Yun Qiao asked.
"The one who came this morning was invited by the old lady. I don't know about the rest of the servants."
Yun Qiao stared at the maid and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Qiuye."
"Your servant Qiu Chan."
The fatter maid was called Qiu Ye, and the thinner and darker one was called Qiu Chan. These two maids seemed to be doing their job well, but it was normal for people to like gossip and chat. Yun Qiao listened to them but did not blame them.
After asking the question, Yun Qiao went back to the house.
But Xiao Tao went out and looked at the two maids, and gave them a fierce look. They were so annoying, saying bad things about her daughter.
Xiao Tao went back to the room and looked at the girl lying on the soft couch eating melon seeds and reading a storybook. Her girl looked like she was just lying there in another place and was just a lazy person.
"You are too good-tempered, young lady. They are talking about you like this, but you are not angry at all. Instead, you run over to join in the fun."
Yun Qiao chuckled, "I'm curious too. But this eldest daughter of the Wang family is truly amazing. She's good at acupuncture."
It's not surprising that the old lady invited the eldest daughter of the Wang family. It is said that the old lady's chronic headache was cured by a few acupuncture treatments from the eldest daughter of the Wang family, so she naturally trusts the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
It seems that the eldest daughter of the Wang family is not far from marrying into the Marquis's mansion.
"You are a good girl, and you also have medical skills. I don't understand why you hid yourself."
Yun Qiao smiled calmly.
"My skills are just trifles. I just followed a traveling doctor's advice. How can I be considered respectable? If I can't cure the patient, I will only bring trouble upon myself."
She studied medicine just to heal herself.
Otherwise, why would she steal food from the kitchen and feed an old beggar outside?
Speaking of this, Yun Qiao was reminded of that winter in northern Shaanxi.
That winter was really cold, and she got frostbite on her hands and feet. She followed the old doctor You's advice and cured her frostbite, and she hasn't had it again.

This side of Xiaoxiang Garden.
After Yun Qiao left, Fang Jia had no one to play with, so she went to Cheng Danmei's place out of boredom.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard what they were saying in private.
"She's already fallen out of favor right after arriving at Lan Garden. With her non-competitive nature, I'm afraid she'll fall out of favor again soon."
Fang Jia could tell that the voice was Lianxiang's.
Then Sun Sisi said, "That's impossible. We just arrived at Lanyuan."
"Why not? Haven't you heard? The Marquis has been with Miss Wang these days."
Fang Jia stepped in and looked at the three people in front of her. She saw a smug smile on Cheng Danmei's face.
"Why are you here at this hour, Sister Fang Jia?" Cheng Danmei was stunned when she saw Fang Jia come in.
Fang Jia walked in on her own.
"I was bored in the house and wanted to come and play with my sister, but I just heard you say that I'm going to fall out of favor? Could it be Sister Qiao? What happened to Sister Qiao?"
Fang Jia cares about Yun Qiao the most.
Cheng Danmei said: "It's just hearsay, who knows whether it's true or not."
"We are also worried about Sister Qiao. Sister Qiao left Xiaoxiang Garden. If she is favored, she will definitely be worried about us since we are sisters."
After Fang Jia sat down, she heard Sun Sisi say again: "Yes, Sister Fang Jia, we just heard about it."
As soon as Fang Jia arrived, the three of them talked much less. Fang Jia felt bored, so she sat for a while and then left.
Yun Qiao was also bored in Lanyuan.
It just so happens that Lanyuan is relatively close to the garden, and now it is the coldest time of the year, and few people come out.
Yun Qiao took Xiao Tao to the pond again. There were quite a few fish in the pond. She was sure that they were not koi. They looked like grass carp, but they had no bones and were tender.
Yun Qiao went to get another one and went back to cook soup.
It's cold today, so she plans to have clear-boiled tofu soup.
The hot soup was bubbling on the small stove, and the man standing outside the door paused.
The attendant standing in front of him whispered, "Sir, we saw with our own eyes that it was Miss Qiao who fished out the lucky fish from the pond."
Chen Jingyan didn't show any expression.
"No problem, let's just say it was eaten by the wild cat in the yard."
The follower stood there in a daze.
This was clearly eaten by Miss Qiao, so why do you say it was eaten by the wild cat in the yard?
Besides, the fortune fish was bought from outside under the supervision of the old lady herself. It is said that one fish cost five taels of silver.
"Well, I have to warn Miss Qiao, if you keep eating like this, you'll eat it all..."
Chen Jingyan smiled and stepped inside.
"I can tell."
Yun Qiao just took a small bowl and filled it with fish soup. She planned to drink the soup first.
We'll use the fish soup to make hot pot later. Xiaotao just happened to have taken some mushrooms and vegetables from the kitchen.
