Chapter 686: Don’t Be Surprised if There Are Many People!
Xiao Xuanzi stood in front of the gate of Duke Xingguo's Mansion, looked at the gift box in his hand, and then looked at Duke Xingguo's Mansion in front of him, and sighed helplessly, so he is here to give gifts now.
Sure enough, he couldn't stand jokes. He was secretly laughing at King Xin before, but now it was his turn. Thinking about it, he felt inexplicably wronged.
He led two young eunuchs to the door. One young eunuch stepped forward and knocked on the door. When the door opened, a servant of Duke Xingguo's mansion came out and saw a young father-in-law outside. He immediately became energetic and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face. .
"His Royal Highness King Chen asked our little Eunuch Xuanzi to bring some medicinal materials to the Fifth Miss of Xingguo Duke's Mansion. I heard that the Fifth Miss saved our Highness before and is not fully recovered yet!" the little eunuch said in a high-pitched voice.
Now everyone in the Xingguo Duke's palace knows that the fifth young lady saved His Highness King Chen. Not only was the Queen Mother rewarded him, but he was also rewarded by His Highness King Chen. It seems that he still wants to support the fifth young lady.
The lady in the mansion was locked up, saying that she was doing cleansing in the ancestral hall and praying for her family. This was nice to say, but it was obviously because of the fifth lady's incident that she was confined in the ancestral hall and didn't even have time to come out. The reason should be that the Queen Mother and His Highness Prince Chen supported the fifth young lady.
Now His Highness King Chen actually comes with gifts again. How dare they, the servants, neglect him?
A boy quickly went in to report, and the other led Xiao Xuanzi inside from behind.
When they arrived at Piaoyun Courtyard, Xiao Xuanzi went up to the first two and saluted Shao Wanru: "I have seen the Fifth Miss!"
"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Shao Wanru asked in surprise. She had only returned not long ago.
"Our master gave the lady a gift in return!" Xiao Xuanzi smiled and took the two gift boxes from the hands of the two young eunuchs behind him, and handed them forward.
Yujie stepped forward and took the two gift boxes.
"Why did your master suddenly give me a gift?" Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She had just picked up the gift box in the carriage casually, and she really didn't know what she was getting.
Grandma and Aunt Shui gave her a lot of things, which were all piled in the carriage. In order to get Chu Liuxin away, they specifically asked him to help deliver the gifts.
"I said that the gift given by the fifth lady is very suitable for him, and he said he would keep it!" Xiao Xuanzi smiled into a squinting face, like a ball of flowers.
But this situation made Shao Wanru panic, and his eyebrows jumped fiercely. Could it be that he really gave something not good.
"Can you see what it is?" Shao Wanru asked tentatively.
"I didn't see it, but I saw that our master carefully collected it. It must be a very good thing. He also specifically ordered the servant to return the gift. I also want to tell you that His Highness King Xin will also be in the palace to help us. I gave a gift to the Queen Mother, and before I went to the palace, I also accepted a beautiful maid in our house."
Xiao Xuanzi said.
These words were a bit far-fetched, and they were inexplicably related to Chu Liuxin, who originally had nothing to do with Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru blinked, then blinked again. A trace of confusion flashed through her bright eyes. She couldn't keep up with her thoughts for a moment. She didn't understand what Chu Liuchen wanted to explain. Could it be that she was reminding herself that King Xin was the Deliberately guarding your own? Biting her lip, she felt her face heat up inexplicably.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for me!"
"Fifth Miss, you're welcome. If you give me the gift, then I'll go back first!" Xiao Xuanzi said with a cheerful smile.
"Yu Jie, give me Xiao Xuanzi!" Shao Wanru nodded.
After Xiao Xuanzi saluted her again, he turned around and went out. Yujie put the gift box in Qule's hand and sent it out.
The gift box above was opened, and Shao Wanru looked at the veil inside in astonishment.
Yes, it's a handkerchief. The wide handkerchief is much more elegant than the ones usually used by ladies, and the color is more like those used by men.
The material was even more excellent. When I touched it with my hand, it looked like Qi Yuge's handkerchief. Shao Wanru turned his head and looked around the box. Sure enough, he saw Qi Yuge's name on the corner. This box of handkerchiefs belonged to Qi Yuge. .
"Miss, why did King Chen give you such a veil? It's so big that you can't use it?" Qu Le asked puzzledly. He picked up one and looked at it. This veil is indeed not for women. , clearly belongs to a man. If the lady uses such a veil, there will probably be a lot of rumors.
Shao Wanru took away the upper gift box and opened the lower gift box. As soon as he opened it, he was immediately shocked by the colorful colors inside. It turned out to be a trace of colorful silk thread.
Not only are the colors beautiful, but there are also some illegal gold threads.
Are you doing embroidery yourself? Thinking about the blank handkerchiefs above that were obviously not owned by women, Shao Wanru still didn't understand. They were not here to give him gifts, but they were clearly here to give him work.
This is to allow myself to embroider flowers for him on the veil he uses.
"Miss, His Highness King Chen asked you to embroider a handkerchief!" Qu Le also understood at this time and laughed.
Shao Wanru's face felt a little hot and she felt uncomfortable. She put her hand on the box and took out the gift list Shui Ruolan had given her before and asked Qu Le to put it together.
After checking everything, he finally found that one thing was missing. Shao Wanru's face turned red when he looked at the last thing that Qu Le had drawn out.
She finally understood what Chu Liuchen meant by sending these threads and handkerchiefs for her to embroider!
Shui Ruolan got some good materials before. The last time she went up the mountain to see herself, she measured her size and made some clothes for herself.
Shui Ruolan was a careful person and knew that the Duke of Xingguo would not prepare any clothes for Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru had also said before that he might go down the mountain a year ago, so Shui Ruolan made some clothes for Shao Wanru first. Not even just outer clothes, but also inner clothes and bellybands.
But she was afraid that Shao Wanru would not like the look and style of her embroidered bellyband, so he just cut it roughly. It looked a bit like a bellyband, but in fact it was not officially formed. In addition, some new colored silk threads were put on it for her. Inside, let her process and sew it herself, and then embroider some patterns she likes.
Unexpectedly, Shao Wanru took such a gift box and gave it away. Thinking about it now, his face was still burning. It was really embarrassing. Such a private thing was actually given away by himself, although these were not strictly considered. A formal bellyband can only be regarded as a semi-finished product.
But even so, he still gave it away from his own hands.
Biting his lip, Shao Wanru threw the gift list on the table in shame, turned around and walked into the back room. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became.
Qu Le couldn't help but laugh. Ever since she started following the young lady, she had almost never seen the young lady looking this shy and annoyed. Only when she looked like this did she look like a young lady in her prime. Although the young lady in the past was calm and wise, But I always felt that I lacked some of the enthusiasm of a young lady and seemed too indifferent.
Several maids thought that she had suffered so much at the hands of Di and Qin Yuru that she had developed such a character that she was unwilling to get close to others, but they didn't know that Shao Wanru died in a tragic and desperate death in her previous life. In this life, what she seeks is not the kind of friendship that a girl in a boudoir desires.
When it comes to marriage, Shao Wan seems to have nothing to ask for.
"What's so funny?" Yu Jie opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing Qu Le smiling from ear to ear in the room, she looked around and asked softly but didn't find Shao Wanru.
Qu Le shook his head and gently pointed inside, indicating that Shao Wanru had just entered the back room out of shame.
"Yujie, come in!" Yujie didn't fully understand what Qu Le meant, and was about to ask again when she suddenly heard Shao Wanru's calm voice coming from the back room.
"Yes, miss!" Yujie answered and pushed the door open.
Shao Wanru had calmed down in the room. He looked at Yu Jie who came in and said, "Dr. Qiu shouldn't have gone back by this time, right?"
This so-called return refers to leaving Wang Yishu and returning to the courtyard where he lives. He is a man, so naturally he lives in the outer courtyard, but because he needs to diagnose and treat Wang Yishu, he deliberately lives in the outer courtyard near the second gate. Yujie observed him before After a period of time, I learned that he was basically very regular when traveling between the inner and outer courtyards.
"Miss, I just happened to see Doctor Qiu going to the eldest lady!" Yu Jie reported. Originally, this time should have been when Doctor Qiu was in Wang Yishu's yard, but she had just sent Xiao Xuanzi out. At that moment, he spotted the chess piece next to the eldest lady and led Doctor Qiu towards the eldest lady's yard.
"Didn't we invite many doctors before? Now we've even invited Dr. Qiu here too!" Shao Wanru pondered for a moment, and frowned slightly.
It seems that Shao Yanru's situation is indeed not good, and now even Doctor Qiu has been invited.
In the past two days, Shao Yanru has invited a lot of doctors. From time to time, famous doctors from outside the house come in. The house doctor has seen it, and famous doctors from outside have also seen it. Now Dr. Qiu is invited here because Dr. Qiu's medical skills are really good. Or is it really urgent to seek medical treatment?
Recalling that the medicine was originally intended for her to take, Shao Wanru's eyes were full of sarcasm. The one who blamed herself was Shao Yanru. She didn't care about herself at the moment, but Lian Xingguo's wife was imprisoned. He didn't care about the affairs of the ancestral hall, which shows that he was really anxious.
However, it can also be seen that he is very cold-hearted.
Since she dared to do such a vicious thing at that time, she deserves retribution now. But who is Dr. Qiu and why there is a bottle of the medicine that was prescribed to Wen Xichi in the previous life? It really makes Shao Wanru feel uncomfortable. He is very curious!
This person should have been the famous Jiangnan doctor who treated Wen Xichi in his last life. Whenever he treated Wen Xichi, a servant would push Wen Xichi to another courtyard, saying that Wen Xichi was already married and that he was the bride. , it was very inconvenient, the courtyard was far away from where I and Wen Xichi lived, and once I prescribed medicine, it took half a month to take it.
Because of this, Shao Wanru had never seen the doctor who treated Wen Xichi in his previous life.
But in the last life, Wen Xichi's illness became worse and worse as he continued to eat, and in the end he even died!
So where did this Doctor Qiu come from in this life? We met this Doctor Qiu in the same two lives. What kind of secret does this Mrs. Qiu have?
