Traveling to the ancient harem

"What I heard was that it happened at the literary gathering held by the Grand Princess last year. The Grand Princess holds such a grand gathering every year. The participants are all young men and women with good reputations, as well as young men and women from wealthy families in the capital. Miss Xu was not old enough, so she went with an invitation from another sister in the Bo's Mansion."

Qing Yuer paused and continued, "That day she met Miss Du from the Huguo Marquis's Mansion and invited Miss Du to go to the garden together. The two knew each other and everyone knew that Miss Du had a crush on the prince. She was also the prince's cousin, so Miss Du gladly agreed. Everyone saw the two of them talking and laughing. Suddenly there was a scream, and Miss Du had fallen into the lotus pond. It was almost winter at that time, and there were no lotus flowers in the lotus pond, so a lot of koi were put in to make it look nice. Miss Du fell in and floundered. Miss Xu was anxiously shouting for help. The pond was full of fish." The water was icy cold, and Miss Du and the others were already half dead when they rescued her. That young lady was also cruel. When she woke up, she said directly that it was Miss Xu who pushed her. Miss Xu complained, saying that Miss Du slipped and fell. She tried her best to find someone to save her, but she didn't thank her and instead bit her. Anyway, no one saw it clearly at the time, so the matter was finally left unresolved. Miss Du caught a cold and fell seriously ill, and didn't recover until the beginning of spring this year. The grudge between the two was completely formed. Whenever the two met, they would quarrel and never stop. "Qing Yu'er swallowed her saliva and made a bold guess: "Miss, I think it was Miss Xu who pushed her. Miss Du wanted to marry the prince, and if she didn't really hate the Xu family, she wouldn't have offended them."

"Well said, even you can understand that everyone present is smart. They want to harm people, and they are so blatant. It shows that Miss Xu is stupid."

"You're just an idiot." Hongdou pouted.

Huang Ye ordered Hongdou to bring a stool for Qingyuer to sit on. Qingyuer was flattered and apologized repeatedly before carefully sitting on half of the stool. In that dynasty, servants were not allowed to sit in front of their masters without permission.

Hongdou poured another cup of tea for Qingyuer, and Huangye continued to ask, "How much do you know about the things in the capital?"

Qing Yuer stood up again. She had no choice but to sit and face the young lady. She felt pressured to speak. "Miss, if I were to talk about the gossips of the high families in the capital, I could talk for three days and three nights without finishing them." He chuckled twice. "I go out to help buy things every day. I remember everything I hear, but I know the rules and have never spread them in the mansion."

"I won't tell on you, and I will still use you." This Qingyu'er is not simple. He can find out gossip and keep it secret. He is smart and tight-lipped. He is really a treasure boy. Isn't this the person she is looking for?

"I'll tell the Madam to transfer you to the Second Young Master as a servant. Are you willing?" Huang Ye was afraid that he would not be willing and would feel that he was not free to follow his second brother. "I will tell the Second Young Master that although you are under his name, you are mine. Your task is to run errands for the Second Young Master occasionally. Your main task is to go out and inquire about all the latest news in the capital. Give him a summary every three months and have him write to me."

"Your servant greets the young lady." Qing Yu'er knelt down and kowtowed. He was very willing. "Also, you have to learn to read from the second young master. When I come back, you can work for me. You can't be illiterate."

Qingyuer knelt down and kowtowed again. It was a great fortune for a servant like him to be able to read. Hongyu was also very happy. It was great that his younger brother had made progress.

"You go down first." She had to think carefully. Her second brother should be fine. She just wanted to know how to tell her mother.

In the afternoon, Huang Ye first went to Chen's rose garden and coaxed his crying mother and reluctant father for a long time. He mentioned Qingyuer's matter to Chen and had prepared a response. However, Chen didn't even ask and directly arranged someone to do it.

Huang Ye went to Qingsangju to find his second brother who was sad alone. He coaxed him for a while and told him about Qingyuer. Honggeer patted his chest and promised that he would write a letter to his sister every three months. (The key point is that it is too far away, and he doesn't know where to get the letter after arriving at Fanjing Mountain. He will know when he arrives.)

The brother and sister went to Funing Hall together. Huang Ye continued to coax grandmother Bao and grandfather who was silently turning the iron walnut in his hand. Grandmother cried softly and Huang Ye also shed a lot of tears. Xuan Ge'er rushed back in the evening. Looking at the sister he had loved for all these years, Xuan Ge'er suddenly exploded. He squatted down and hugged his sister, tears falling one by one. Huang Ye couldn't wipe them away with a handkerchief, so he started crying too. The three brothers and sisters cried together, which made the old lady even more sad and the old man's eyes also red.
