If a young lady from an aristocratic family is like Shao Wanru, she will have an excellent reputation by entering a nunnery to keep her filial piety, and she will be highly praised. However, if she has to live in a nunnery because she has been poor since she was a child and has no relatives to rely on, even if she is allowed to live in a nunnery, The reputation of finding her relatives is also bad, and some may even wonder if her tutoring is not good.
If Mo Qiuyi's uncle and aunt were worried about this, they would be forgiven for not wanting Mo Qiuyi to appear in front of the nuns at Yuhui Temple.
"Shu Qi, go and get that painting!" Shao Yanru handed the sketch in his hand back to Mo Qiuyi and told Shu Qi softly.
"Miss, if this slave is gone, you will have no one here." Shuqi looked at Mo Qiuyi and the two maids behind Mo Qiuyi and said warily.
"Miss, would you like my maid to follow your maid?" Mo Qiuyi said with a smile.
"Okay!" Shao Yanru smiled, and then said to Shuqi: "It's okay, Miss Mo and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to chat!"
Seeing that his eldest lady had said this, Shuqi had no choice but to leave in a hurry. Mo Qiuyi waved her hand and a maid followed.
"Who is Miss Mo's uncle, and where is he employed?" Shao Yanru looked at Mo Qiuyi curiously and said, "If I hadn't had a fate with Miss Mo at Yuhui Temple, I might not have recognized Miss Mo! "
"My uncle is just a lowly official, not worth much in the eyes of the eldest lady, but he is Qiu Yi's only closest relative in the world. Fortunately, I have an uncle, otherwise Qiu Yi might not be able to go down this mountain in her whole life. In the end I can only stay in Yuhui Nunnery for the rest of my life." Mo Qiuyi smiled a little bitterly and raised her eyes to look at the scenery in front of them. Their current position was a bit high, and most of the scenery in Yuhui Nunnery fell into their eyes.
"Miss Mo is finally relieved from all the hardships. What happened to Yu Hui'an is just in the past. Without going through the wind and rain, how can it be sweet? Miss Mo doesn't think so?" Shao Yanru said gently, her smile becoming more and more elegant, and she comforted.
Mo Qiuyi turned her head and looked at Shao Yanru's gentle and dignified smile. She felt grateful in her heart and bowed deeply to Shao Yanru, "Thank you, Miss Shao, for your comfort!"
Even though she is also the daughter of an official now, there is still a big gap between her and the Duke of Xingguo. Mo Qiuyi was still very touched that Shao Yanru could treat her so kindly and even meant to comfort her.
She moved to her uncle's house. Although she had a well-educated nanny to educate her again, the situation was not good. Her uncle also had children. Even though he really took good care of her, those cousins were not so easy to mess with. She always thought of various reasons to humiliate people, but it was Shao Yanru who moved her heart.
"It doesn't matter whether I am relieved or not, it's just that Miss Mo is a little sad. If I get to the bottom of the mountain someday, Miss Mo can come to me if nothing happens." Shao Yanru became gentler and smiled softly.
This means that she wants to make friends with Mo Qiuyi. With her status, it is really beyond Mo Qiuyi's reach to make friends with a woman from a small official's house.
"Thank you, Miss Shao!" Mo Qiuyi expressed her gratitude again, deeply regretting that she did not have a close friendship with Shao Yanru when they were on the mountain. It would have been a good thing for her if the two had developed a close friendship earlier.
One of the two people knew each other intentionally, and the other smiled attentively, and they talked happily. After a while, Shuqi came with a painting. Mo Qiuyi took it, looked at it carefully, and was overjoyed. She expressed her gratitude to Shao Yanru and thanked her again and again. , and then took the two maids down the mountain.
Shao Yanru stood on the mountain and watched them leave, the smile on her face slowly fading away.
"Miss, why did you give that painting to her? Master Pushan didn't say clearly that it wasn't for you!" Shuqi said angrily to defend his master.
Master Pushan's paintings are not something you can get casually. Since they are delivered to the young lady, why shouldn't they be given to the young lady.
Moreover, it was a picture with a private seal. Shuqi was Shao Yanru’s personal maid. Naturally, he knew that his lady did not have a portrait of Master Pushan with a private seal, so why did she give this one up? .
"What happened after the maid went with you?" Shao Yanru said calmly without looking back.
"He kept asking about the Fifth Miss. It seemed that he was not going to get the paintings with the slaves, but rather for the Fifth Miss. After entering the yard, he even asked to stay in the yard. Looking around, it looked like nothing. Okay, this slave looks really eye-catching."
Shuqi said angrily, this maid was just inquiring about the fifth lady on the road, and she was also hanging around outside the fifth lady's quiet room. She looked like the big maid next to the young lady, even making rough remarks. The maids are a bit smarter.
"Have you said everything you need to say?" Shao Yanru raised the corners of his lips mockingly.
"I have said everything according to the miss's wishes. Miss, don't you think this is strange? No one has paid attention to it for so many years. After living here for five years, a biological uncle suddenly appeared and was willing to support her. Why did you go there so early? You didn’t pick people up early, and then you pick them up now, it’s really unreasonable!”
Shuqi said doubtfully.
"You feel suspicious too?" Shao Yanru walked back slowly. It was almost time for her to go back.
Shuqi followed closely behind and nodded: "I feel suspicious!"
"Since it has nothing to do with us, there is no need to ask any more questions. It just seems that being interested in the fifth sister is a good interest. Let's see for ourselves. If they can fight to the death on their own, , it has nothing to do with me." Shao Yanru said casually.
"Miss, does Master Pushan have something?" Shuqi's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale. Master Pushan's relationship with his eldest daughter was not ordinary. If she had any problems, she would bring trouble to her elders. Miss's.
"No matter what there is, it has nothing to do with us. I'm just learning to paint." Shao Yanru pointedly said, his eyes sliding over the high wall below. From here on, the wall is not high. You can also see the courtyards behind the high wall. There are quite a lot of them. There are quite a few concubines of the late emperor.
Seeing that Shao Yanru turned in that direction, Shuqi also turned his eyes and sighed, "Concubines who don't give birth to children are really pitiful!"
Shao Yanru's indifferent eyes turned back and she continued on. If she had no heirs in the harem, she would become a stepping stone for others, and she would also enter the palace. But one thing she was sure of was that the path she wanted to take was different from the people below. She was destined to Stepping on various stepping stones to reach the top...
"Miss, I saw Miss Mo who lived there before. She was the one who I heard had lived there for five years. She was dressed completely differently, but I recognized her at a glance. She and the eldest lady The two chatted happily, but because there was no one there, the servant did not dare to lean over and could not hear clearly what they were saying, but the two of them were very happy. Later, Shuqi brought back a scroll of paintings with the maid next to Miss Mo. !”
Qing'er reported to Shao Wanru that she came back behind Shao Yanru, but she was a rough maid, the most inconspicuous one in the whole yard, and she was very agile. Even if she was following Shao Yanru, she Nor will it be discovered.
"Miss Mo? The Miss Mo who begged my grandmother before?" Shao Wanru's face slowly darkened, his water eyes turned, and he stopped holding the wooden fish in his hand.
"Yes, that's the one. She didn't look like the farm girl who was on the mountain at that time. She was dressed like a young lady, with two maids following behind her. She took the scroll and left," Qing'er said.
Shao Wanru fell silent, always feeling that there was something more complicated than just a scroll of paintings.
"That scroll of painting was the painting that Master Pushan wanted to give to Shao Yanru before. It wasn't in Shao Yanru's hands for long before it was taken away. And Shao Yanru gave it to her without saying a word, and even talked happily?" Shao Wanru? After whispering softly, when Shu Qi came to pick up the painting, Yu Jie had already seen it and had already reported the matter to Shao Wanru.
"Miss, Master Pushan didn't want to give the painting to the eldest lady. The one who wanted to give it was this girl Mo. However, the prince's people had already appeared at that time, and it was inconvenient for Master Pushan to give it to the eldest lady directly, so he entrusted it to the eldest lady." Qing'er He rolled his eyes and connected a series of strange things.
But after saying this, I feel that it is impossible. It seems that these things should not be connected like this. Master Pushan’s paintings are not shameful. They can also be entrusted to other nuns to keep them for Mo Qiuyi, so why bother to transfer them? They made a big circle, and the eldest lady looked very surprised, so she didn't let Shuqi take the painting with her beforehand.
She was far away at the time, but she still saw that Mo Qiuyi seemed to have brought something to Shao Yanru for a look. Only then did Shao Yanru agree to let Shuqi get the scroll. Is there any proof in it?
It’s just a painting, does it need to be certified like this?
"The painting should be for Mo Qiuyi. As for why I wanted to go to Shao Yanru's place, it may be because His Highness is there, or I don't want His Highness to notice the painting, or I don't want His Highness to notice the person. Of course, it's also It may be something else, but I don’t want people to pay attention to her anyway, Qing’er, you want people to stare at Mo Qiuyi and see if there’s anything weird about her!”
Shao Wanru thought for a while and ordered, always feeling that this Mo Qiuyi is very strange. He originally thought that she secretly went down the mountain. If anything happens from then on, it has nothing to do with him. But now it is obvious that he thought wrong. It depends on her. The maid kept looking towards her in the yard, and even secretly wanted to come over to take a look, so she knew that Mo Qiuyi was paying attention to her.
No matter what her current identity is, it has nothing to do with him. How could she pay such attention to herself when she comes to pick up paintings? In the past, the two of them had little contact. The most times they met, she turned to him. He bowed, smiled and nodded, why did he suddenly pay so much attention to himself.
Thinking back to the day when she begged her grandmother on her knees, I always felt that there was a lot going on here.
"Yes, miss, I will take care of it in a moment!" Qing'er responded.
"Miss, I think what happened to Nuservant and Qule yesterday...could it be because of the two paintings in Nuservant and Qule's hands?" Yu Jie hesitantly raised the question after listening to what they said.
