I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

The voice was a male's. The little girls looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white, chubby little boy standing there holding a bamboo Cuju, sniffing and looking at them.

The first person to react was Meng Yunqiao. She burst into tears, and her sobbing at the beginning turned into loud crying.

Zhao Fanglan stood aside and watched the show. Zhao Fangyun made faces at Zhao Fangyu. Only at this moment did he laugh at Zhao Fangyu: "I told you not to show off. You provoke this and that. You are the second brother and the sixth sister. Let's see how you will explain to the first lady when you go home tonight!"

Zhao Fangyu and Meng Yunqiao squatted together. Zhao Fangyu stretched out his small hand to pat her back. Hearing this, he glanced at the gloating Zhao Fangyun and said with a bit of coldness in his voice: "I don't know what Fifth Sister thinks. I didn't say a word in class today and didn't dare to miss a word. If Sixth Sister Meng doesn't understand something, please pour out your troubles to me. Why am I the one who is in the limelight?"

"If Fifth Sister understood today's lesson, she wouldn't have said such a thing."

Zhao Fangyun was speechless. He clenched his fist and tried to refute, but Zhao Fangwei stopped him and advised: "It was your fault in the first place. Why are you still making a fuss? You should call me the sixth sister of the Meng family, sister."

Zhao Fangwei walked over and gently picked up Meng Yunqiao, picking off the grass leaves that flew over her head.

"We are all children, and we don't understand many things. Adults think everything is good. It is normal to have things you don't understand in class. If you don't understand, just ask the teacher. How can you still think that you are born bad?"

"One rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, the girls from the Duke's Mansion can't be bad."

Meng Yunqiao sobbed and thought that it made sense. She was not very smart, but she was from a Duke's Mansion, so her future was guaranteed.

After she figured it out, she wasn't so sad anymore, and instead started to worry about Zhao Fangyu.

The little sister she just met doesn't have a better background than her, what will her future be like?

His mouth pursed and he felt like crying again. Zhao Fangyu was worried about the little crybaby that Meng Yanjiang had sent to him, but he couldn't really just leave him alone.

After much persuasion, he coaxed her to Meng Yanzhen's territory and showed her the newly prepared spices.

A wave of disturbance dissipated invisibly. Zhao Fangyu was extremely exhausted in his heart, but he still put on his best effort to deal with it. The situation in the Duke's Mansion was different from that of the Zhao family. The Duke's Mansion had many illegitimate children and the situation was complicated. It was best not to cause trouble if possible.

No matter which concubine's daughter came to him today, Zhao Fangyu would not sit idly by. Similarly, Zhao Fangjin also understood the purpose of Zhao Fangyu bringing people here, which was nothing more than to tell the people in the Duke's Mansion that Meng Yunqiao's crying had nothing to do with their Zhao family.

The matter was resolved quickly. The next day, Meng Yunqiao realized that her mischievous behavior yesterday would cause trouble to others. She became much quieter afterwards, but after class she would secretly bring Zhao Fangyu some delicious cakes made by her aunt.

Aunt Xuehuan's class didn't last long, and she didn't stay in the Duke's Mansion for long. But the girls who came out of Aunt Xuehuan's class had changed to some extent.

Meng Yan really changed a lot, and Aunt Xuehuan's key tutoring target was this young lady who was in her prime. However, her illegitimate sister wanted to grab Aunt Xuehuan's attention, but before Aunt Xuehuan could make a move, she was scolded by the young lady herself.

After returning from the Duke's Mansion, the girls of the Zhao family went back to school and studied with their brothers.

Zhao Fangyu was determined to learn how to make perfume. Fortunately, he had a natural talent and the finished product was pretty good.

On the eldest lady's birthday, Zhao Fangyu gave her a lot of calming incense. Later, because the eldest lady found it very useful, Zhao Fangyu made some every month and sent them to her.

As time went by, things were actually getting better and better.

"Ms. Meng Liu sent someone to deliver a can of autumn pear paste. She said she knew that the girl was not in good health and often coughed in autumn and winter, so she sent it specially for the girl to dissolve in water to drink."

Qiuli Paste is not a rare thing, it mainly depends on the intention. Xiangyao likes Meng Yunqiao especially, because in Xiangyao's opinion, anyone who cares about her health is a good person!

Chun Shao took the Autumn Pear Paste, thought for a moment, and said to Zhao Fangyu, "The Madam has also had an autumn cough recently. Would you like to make some Autumn Pear Paste and send it to her to show your appreciation?"

Zhao Fangyu shook his head, looked out the window and saw that the weather outside was good, so he took the initiative to go find the palace doctor.

The little person stood in the courtyard of the court doctor, not even as tall as the drying rack for medicinal materials. He held a medical book and asked whether the prescriptions in the book could be used. He was a little stunned for a moment.

"Don't be afraid of Mr. Huang laughing at me. I have always been in poor health and often feel sick. Mr. Huang and I are old acquaintances. It's autumn now, the weather is dry and the brothers and sisters are suffering from autumn coughs."

After saying this, Zhao Fangyu showed a hint of embarrassment, with his round cheeks reddened. "That's why I was thinking, can we make some delicious tea? Then everyone can drink the medicine like they normally drink tea, and happily cure Qiu's cough, which would be perfect."

Mr. Huang said with a smile: "The girl wants to make a medicinal tea."

Zhao Fangyu nodded heavily: "One for mom and dad, one for brothers, one for sisters. My sister is still young, so give her some sweet water that won't make her get angry."

Mr. Huang stretched out his hand to pinch Zhao Fangyu's cheek, but he retracted his hand halfway and looked at Zhao Fangyu with a gratified smile: "It's a good thing that the young lady is filial, but I still have to report to the Madam."

Zhao Fangyu nodded, like a chick pecking at rice, and handed the medical book in his hand over: "Take a look, sir, I don't know if this can be used."

"Dad, Mom, and my brothers and sisters must be careful about what they eat. If you think this method can work, just report it to mother. After all, we are all eating together, so I won't lose anything. Don't worry about what I think."

After leaving Mr. Huang, Zhao Fangyu happily drank the sweet water made from autumn pear paste that Meng Yunqiao had brought him.

"Since the girl likes it so much, let's go buy some autumn pears tomorrow. Pick out big and smooth ones and make a few jars of autumn pear paste."

Xiangyao saw how happy Zhao Fangyu was and wanted to give her girl freedom.

Chun Shao thought about it and it made sense: "The young lady coughs often, so we should always have some autumn pear paste on hand, but good autumn pears are hard to find, so I'm afraid we'll have to ask the second young master for help."

Speaking of Zhao Zhirun, Zhao Fangyu shook his head and said, "Brothers, studying is the most important thing. Why would you bother with anything? No one is more proficient in Qiuli Paste than Mr. Huang. Once the cough tea is ready, we will take it to invite Mr. Huang."

As a result, when he was having dinner in the evening, the kitchen brought new tea and a reward of ten taels of silver.

The one who came to deliver the gift was Mother Cui. Zhao Fangyu invited her in and made some autumn pear paste water, which made Mother Cui laugh so hard that her teeth were showing.

"Young lady is really filial and cares about our lady. Lady heard from Mr. Huang that it was the fourth young lady who came up with the idea. She even praised the young lady, saying that no one else in the mansion could think of making such a thing."

The next moment, someone came and called Mother Cui, saying that something had happened to Miss Lan from Yuelanxuan.
