Chapter 241 I've got you all smitten
When Lu Qingqing returned home, Qiaoxiu and Liu'er ran over like long-awaited baby swallows.
She shared the chestnut cakes she had brought back with the two of them.
Then he examined Liu'er's condition.
Liu'er's eyes were much clearer, and in addition, her movements were unconsciously restrained, unlike her previous simplicity.
It seems he has remembered something again.
Chaolu and Chaoxia were much better, and they were quietly loosening the soil around the herbs planted in the yard.
"Qiaoxiu, which patients have come in the last two days?" Lu Qingqing asked.
"Yes, there's a pair of sisters-in-law who said they had already made arrangements with you. I told them I'd come back in a few days."
There was also a mother and child from a neighboring village, several people from our village, and... five girls who came in a horse-drawn carriage, also from other villages.
Qiaoxiu thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No more."
"Five girls who arrived in a horse-drawn carriage? What are they dressed like?"
"Hmm... they dress the same way the girls in our village do, but they're all pretty, with delicate skin and fair skin, they don't look like they'd do hard labor."
Lu Qingqing thought to herself, "Those must be the girls from Chunxiang Pavilion."
To avoid trouble, she deliberately dressed up as a village girl.
"You told them too?"
"I told them to come back in a couple of days. But they seemed to be in a hurry. One of them kept asking me where I had been. When I didn't tell them, she tried to give me money."
I got angry, and the others pulled her away. I saw her crying as she got into the car.
Qiaoxiu asked doubtfully, "Is it really that serious? I don't think she's on the verge of death, she's just a little weak."
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Qingqing thought for a while and decided to see if those people would come tomorrow.
If he doesn't come, she'll have someone inquire about it.
"Qingqing".
Lin Ye, whom we hadn't seen for several days, has arrived.
She wore a light green dress, with rosy cheeks and fair skin. Her smooth black hair cascaded over her shoulders, with two braided strands twisted together on top of her head. A pale pink velvet flower was pinned to the side, understated yet like the finishing touch, adding a touch of gentleness and a hint of playfulness.
This doesn't look like a farmer at all; she looks like a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Who are you?" Lu Qingqing asked.
Lin Ye paused as he reached for something, then looked up in surprise, "It's me, Lin Ye!"
They forget the old ones when they have new ones.
It's only been a short time since we last met, how come you don't recognize me!
Lin Ye's serious expression was truly hilarious, just like when he teased the young man back then.
Unfortunately, it's not so easy to fool these days.
Lu Qingqing chuckled, "Just kidding! Your face has gotten so white, it's like milk, I almost didn't recognize you."
"Yeah, what good stuff did you use to make your face so white?" Qiaoxiu touched her own face, feeling so jealous!
Lin Ye gave Lu Qingqing a weak glare.
"If you don't apply anything and stay indoors for a month or two without going out, you'll end up like this too."
Lin Ye followed her master to learn embroidery. In order to save time, she lived and ate at Madam Wan's residence and studied diligently for nearly two months.
I just got back today.
Qiaoxiu smacked her lips and nodded vigorously.
Yes, of course you'll be fair-skinned if you don't expose yourself to the sun!
"Should I wear a veil when I go out...wait?"
She suddenly thought, "Young Master Xu often wears a mask, so wouldn't the upper half of his face be a different color from his chin?"
Lu Qingqing thought of that naturally blessed face and said, "No, some people are born with fair skin and can't get tanned."
"How do you know? You've never seen it."
That clever girl, so quick-witted and sharp-tongued! Look how well-behaved Liu'er is! She just smiled with her lips pursed.
"I knew it! Didn't you see her neck? Her neck and chin are so white, isn't that obvious?"
Qiaoxiu scratched her head. "Sister, you're really observant. I've never really noticed his neck before. I'll take a look next time."
Lu Qingqing: "..."
Looking at the neck is quite detailed; anyone with eyesight can see that!
Qiaoxiu is blind; this makes it seem like she's in the wrong!
Lin Ye chuckled and pulled out a few handkerchiefs.
"Let's see if the skills I learned from my master are better than before?"
She divided them up one by one, leaving one for Feng Xiaowan, and then stuffed it into Lu Qingqing's hands.
"My God! This is so beautiful!" Qiaoxiu exclaimed.
Each handkerchief was embroidered differently. Lu Qingqing's was embroidered with a green herb, and you could even tell what kind it was. There were dewdrops on the leaves, as if the dewdrops would roll off at any moment.
Liu'er's is a crabapple blossom, with a bee perched on one of the flowers; its wings are translucent.
She held it in her hand, her eyes were immediately drawn to it, and she reached out to touch it with a hint of nostalgia.
Qiaoxiu's design features a lifelike little rabbit munching on a carrot, with each whisker clearly visible.
She grinned.
She couldn't bear to use this handkerchief; she had to keep it safe.
"Lin Ye, no, Master Lin, if I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you!" Lu Qingqing cried out.
"Sister, why are you talking about the dog?" Qiaoxiu asked.
Lu Qingqing rubbed her forehead.
Lin Ye was initially embarrassed, but Qiao Xiu interrupted her and she started laughing again, her eyes sparkling with tiny glints of light.
"Qingqing, I'm going to Huizhou with my master in a couple of days," she said.
Why go to Huizhou?
“My master is going to take me to find her junior sister and teach me a set of acupuncture techniques. Her eyesight is failing now, so she can’t teach me. She’s going to take me to find her junior sister to learn from her.”
So that's how it is.
But Lu Qingqing was a little worried, "Are there any other people going?"
"Madam Wan sent one of her servants and my brother with us."
"No, no, this is almost a thousand miles away. If we run into bandits, we're doomed."
"Taking the official road should be..."
"No, we should find out if any caravans or security escort agencies have been going there recently."
Lu Qingqing insisted, so Lin Ye nodded. Although it might cost more money, it was definitely safer.
Money can be earned back later.
"Little sister!"
As they were talking, Lu Yun returned.
In the past six months, Lu Yun has grown taller again, now five fingers taller than Lu Feng. Lu Qingqing estimates he is around 183 cm tall.
The young man had clear and bright eyes, and was dressed in a brand-new light green cross-collar narrow-sleeved outfit, with a blue headband and a dark black belt with subtle patterns around his waist. He looked incredibly energetic and confident.
He exuded an air of triumph as his career progressed smoothly.
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Yun walked up to him, circled around, and struck a martial arts pose.
"How was it? Were you all mesmerized?"
Qiaoxiu: "Yes, yes, this young man is so handsome! I thought he was some noble young master!"
"Did Gu Chengzhou send these clothes?" Lu Qingqing asked.
"Yes, he said you asked him to make it. He sent two sets, including a dark blue one. Little sister, I'm planning to go to Jingzhou, so I'll wear this one. Don't you think it looks cool..."
As Lu Yun spoke, he casually glanced to the side.
He continued, "Brother Mo Lang, are you ready? Do you need any special medicinal herbs? I'll go look for some over there..."
The head that had been turned away turned back again.
This girl...
Lin Ye?
