The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

A carriage with many guards entered Anqing County, attracting the attention of many people. The people in the carriage seemed to be indifferent to the excitement outside, and the curtains on the carriage were unlikely to move at all.

Anqing County is not a big place with few officials, so everyone was excited about the rare gossip.

"This carriage is the symbol of the county magistrate, right? I wonder who is sitting in it?" A short and fat man in a gown asked with bright eyes.

"Hey, you don't know this, right?" A middle-aged man with a beard stood aside, trimming his beard and looking proud.

"Hu Dazui, I didn't expect you had any news. Tell us quickly." The short and fat man recognized the bearded man.

The bearded man was a well-known gossip teller in Anqing County. His name was Hu Dazui and he was also known as Hu Da Ting. He had previously revealed some gossip about a wealthy family a few days in advance and had since gained fame.

Hu Dazui was flattered and felt even more proud. He wanted to talk even more. He had many brothers and he was easy to get along with. He had friends from all over the place. With so many friends, he knew a lot of things. He thought about the Lin family's carriage and remembered what the steward on duty at the Lin Mansion complained about, that they wanted to pick up the second Miss Lin from the Taoist temple. He guessed that this should be the carriage to pick up the second Miss Lin.

He adjusted his beard and said, "The person in this carriage is the second young lady of the Lin family."

"The second young lady of the Lin family, the Lin family has a second young lady? Hu Dazui, you are not lying, are you?" someone questioned.

Hu Dazui, who was suspected, felt a little guilty. This was just his guess, but since he had said it, he must maintain his reputation. He bluffed and stared at the man who was questioning him, "When have I, Hu Dazui, ever lied? If you don't believe me, don't listen!"

"Second Miss Lin, I do remember that my aunt's second son's sister-in-law's cousin was on duty at the Lin residence. This Second Miss Lin was born to my aunt. I heard that she was very ugly and unlucky for the family, so she was sent to a Taoist temple by County Magistrate Lin to be raised."

Hu Dazui, who was being talked to, became more confident and joined in the discussion of how ugly Miss Lin was. The people who had been following the carriage, thinking it was a beauty and wanting to see her, also dispersed in disappointment. When they arrived at the Lin residence, only Qingyin and a group of guards were left.

The noise reached the house, but no one shifted their gaze to the person being guarded this time. Only Aunt He and the expectant black-hearted little Dumpling were staring at the door.

"Arou?" Aunt He exclaimed.

She had imagined what her eldest daughter, who was alone outside, would look like: timid as a mouse and ugly, but she had never imagined that her daughter would have such indescribable beauty and noble temperament.

Not to mention being timid and having low self-esteem, even her demeanor is far superior to that of the pampered young lady of the Lin family. She seems like a daughter of a noble family who has been doted on by thousands of people and can only be admired from afar but not touched. Aunt He cannot describe her dignity. Even the master has never had that kind of majesty.

"Is this her daughter?" Aunt He couldn't believe her eyes, but when she saw her, she felt a sense of blood relationship in her heart, reminding her that this was her eldest daughter. Thinking of her negligence over the years, she felt a huge sense of guilt in her heart, and she didn't dare to look into her eldest daughter's eyes. But Lin Chenke in her arms was not honest, staring at Qingyin in front of him with shining eyes, and fluttered. Aunt He couldn't persuade him and had to put him down.

He quickly ran to Qingyin and hugged her legs, looking at her with admiration: "Fairy sister!"

Qingyin blinked and looked at the strange child who looked somewhat similar to Aunt He. She understood in her heart that this was the youngest son born to Aunt He. Thinking of the boy's indifference to his original body in his previous life, she did not hug him, but gave Zeng Li a look. Zeng Li, who had already had a tacit understanding with Qingyin, grabbed the fat boy and held him firmly in his hand.

Qingyin ignored the shocked looks from the others and walked up to Father Lin and Auntie, bowing and saying, "My daughter greets Father, Madam, and Auntie."

Her movements were neither humble nor arrogant, and her manner of greeting was standard, as if she had been trained, yet with a unique charm that was stunningly beautiful.

Father Lin was shocked. He knew that girls change a lot when they grow up, but his second daughter had changed so much!

This face, he said, he had never seen such a beautiful woman with stunning beauty when he was taking the imperial examination in the capital. Compared with his other daughters, she was like heaven and earth. One was the lonely moon in the sky, and the other was the sand on the ground. There was no comparison at all. Thinking of the benefits brought by this stunning face, the enthusiasm in the man's eyes became even more profound.

"Well, now that you're back, prepare well. The talent show will be held in a few days. I'll find a nanny to teach you well. If you have any requests, just tell me."

Father Lin's enthusiasm attracted people's attention, but Lin Mengya and Lin Heyu, who had been fighting fiercely, could no longer care about it. They looked stiffly at the wonderful second sister/older sister, their eyes full of disbelief.

How could someone look like this? What do they have to do with such a beauty?

"Thank you, Father." Qingyin responded obediently with her thick eyelashes drooping. Her obedient appearance made the smile on Lin's father's face deepen, and he also felt a rare sense of guilt towards his second daughter, with whom he rarely spent time together.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back home." Father Lin said considerately, and the people present remembered that the second young lady had just returned from her journey.

Someone suggested, and Qingyin certainly would not refuse. On the way back to the inner courtyard, they stared at the servants of the Lin Mansion who were stunned all the way. The servants who had seen the beauty of the Second Young Lady early in the morning strangely felt a little proud. They were the first people to see the Second Young Lady, hehe.

"Let's go. What are you still looking at!" An older maid woke up the maids and eunuchs who were bewitched by Qingyin, and asked them to continue with their work. However, the extreme beauty had already clouded their minds. Although their bodies were still there, their souls had already followed Qingyin.

Along the way, the two famous young ladies put away their fighting spirit and followed Qingyin to her yard in a daze. If Xiaoyue hadn't reminded them, they would have followed her in directly.

Seeing the obvious vigilance in the maid Xiaoyue's eyes, the two old rivals looked at each other awkwardly and curled their lips. "Hmph, if you don't want to look, then don't look. As a younger sister, can't I care about my second sister?" Lin Heyu said angrily. Looking at Xiaoyue's suspicious gaze, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid these words are least likely to come from my third sister's mouth." Lin Mengya chuckled. There was nothing wrong with her expression, but her tone was so weird that even Zeng Li, who didn't know how to beat around the bush, could hear the sarcasm in her words.

"You!" Lin Heyu stared at her. Thinking that it was she who had caused the Second Sister's trouble, she felt a little guilty. After exposing her true colors, Lin Heyu sneered:

"Then how good are you?"

"Anyway, I'm better than you." Lin Mengya ignored the regret in her heart and continued.

Xiaoyue looked at the eldest and second young ladies who were quarreling right in front of her, feeling a little bewildered. What was going on? Why did they suddenly start quarreling? But it didn't matter if they were quarreling, because it was all their fault. The young lady left the mistress and grew up alone in the Taoist temple.

Zeng Li had the same idea and told Qing Yin the news of their quarrel.

"Did they quarrel?" Qing Yin wondered. In her memory, the two did quarrel fiercely, but they were both good at pretending and never quarreled openly. Could it be that after she left, the two had already quarreled even on the surface? After thinking about it for a while, Qing Yin still looked calm.

"Ali, let them quarrel. They will go back after quarreling anyway." Qingyin's calmness infected Zeng Li. She was originally worried that the two would affect Qingyin, but now she was relieved.

Just as Qingyin thought, the quarrel between the two men, in which they killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of their own, became more and more meaningless. Instead, they felt that they were making a fool of themselves in the eyes of the servants. After a short while, the two men left in anger.

In the Xiaoyao Taoist Temple where Qingyin had left, Baotai and Rongying were also secretly looking for their loved ones. Not wanting to be discovered by each other, the two of them split up and wandered around the Taoist temple in two groups. All of this was seen by Yu Xuanzi.

"Sure enough, these two people came for Arou." I don't know how the two people saw Arou. Yu Xuanzi guessed that they must have happened to see Qingyin on the rainy day.

"Master Yu, do you want to kill them?" As soon as A Lu said this dangerous word, she was slapped hard by Yu Xuanzi.

"What are they doing? You want to kill them, and Arou has already returned to the Lin Mansion to participate in the talent show, and has no social interaction with anyone. Why would you do such a dangerous thing?"

Ah Lu, who was hit on the head, felt a little aggrieved, "Who told them to covet the pearl of our Taoist temple?"

Yu Xuanzi's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that Ah Rou had such a stubborn follower (Zeng Li) by her side. Her calm heir was also a hidden follower. Not wanting to care about this stubborn heir with a screwed brain, Yu Xuanzi closed his eyes and silently said in his heart, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry with a mentally ill person." The inner room fell into silence again.

The two men who were almost digging three feet into the ground in the Taoist temple could no longer remain calm.

"She is clearly wearing a Taoist robe. Could she not be a female Taoist priest in the temple? Did he guess wrong?" Baotai thought to himself. His longing and excitement made him anxious. The two of them couldn't get together and share the information they had obtained.

The two people who couldn't hold it in any longer had to go and see Yu Xuanzi in a straightforward manner. It wasn't that they had to ask the abbot, but the people in the Taoist temple kept silent when they saw them. They couldn't torture the people in the temple for the sake of their loved ones.

After staying in the Taoist temple for so many days, the two people who were extremely depressed came to Yu Xuanzi's courtyard together.

"Master Yu, I once saw a beauty on a rainy day. Her appearance is beyond description. May I ask if you know where that beauty is?" Baotai was an impatient person and asked directly.

The two of them stared closely at Yu Xuanzi's reaction, but unfortunately, Yu Xuanzi, who had become a spirit after so many years, disappointed them.

"Oh? There is such a beauty. I have never heard of it. I really envy you two gentlemen for being able to see such a beauty." Yu Xuanzi's shock, confusion, and envy were completely consistent with an uninformed person, but even such a perfect reaction deepened the suspicions of the two.

Rong Ying joined in, smiling gently, "The Taoist priest also knows that we both fell in love at first sight. I have no ill will towards the girl, I just want to get to know her. If the Taoist priest tells me, I can give her a thousand taels of gold, renovate the Taoist temple... It's all possible."

Yu Xuanzi was slightly surprised. Seeing how calm these two were, they could easily promise so much money. Their backgrounds must be extraordinary. She smiled and said, "It would be nice if I could really meet this beauty. Unfortunately, I have never seen her."

The identical smile inexplicably reminded them of the smiling tiger in the court. The two knew that they would not get anything out of him if they continued to pester him, so they left on their own accord.

The two men, who had suffered a series of setbacks, sat back in the house dejectedly for the first time. Unfortunately, before they could become more discouraged, news came from the capital city urging them to return.

The two of them looked at the leader of the guards who had been following them. The man's resolute eyes rarely showed a bit of guilt. He guessed that this news might be caused by this accident, but it was impossible for him not to report it to the prince. He was loyal to Prince Yuxian, and he would not hide it from the crown prince and the eldest son.

Knowing that it was the reason for the man's leak, Bao Tai and Rongying, who wanted to make trouble, also knew that the most important thing was not to deal with him. The name of the sweetheart didn't know anything, and they didn't want to leave. It was believed that it was written by his own Ama himself. When he thought that he wouldn't go back, Bao Tai vaguely felt that his butt began to hurt. He didn't care whether he was the only son or not. When he caught him, he would really beat him. Since childhood, he has never been beaten up for a while. Thinking of Prince Yuxian, Rongying also started to have a headache. Although his ignorant mother and Ama would not beat him, if Prince Yuxian knew, his grandfather and grandfather would definitely beat him up and scold him. Thinking of the sarcastic long and sarcastic novels that his grandfather scolded him without any dirty words, Rongying was also disappointed.

After making eye contact, they knew that both of them were going to be dealt with.

Because they were both in the same pain, they sighed at the same time, but sighs were sighs and pain was pain. They still had to find a way to solve the problem. They had to find their sweetheart, but the letter from their father/grandfather could not be ignored. They had to leave half of the guards here to check the information of their sweetheart, while they both went back to Beijing to comfort their father/grandfather at home, and then think of a reason to slip out.

After thinking it through, the two were no longer so unhappy and left quickly. Yu Xuanzi and even the people in the Taoist temple breathed a sigh of relief when they got the news. Without the two smartest and most sensitive people, the remaining guards were much more perfunctory. Don't know how his father raised a son with so many tricks, he must be a black-hearted man, Yu Xuanzi thought.

In the capital, at Prince Yuxian's mansion, Prince Yuxian, who was wielding a large sword with great power, sneezed heavily, "Ahem, that bastard was scolding me, it must be that bastard Baotai, who dared to run around in such a dangerous place. Now that he's back, if Fu Jin tries to persuade him again, he'll have his butt beaten to a pulp!"

Baotai, who was on his way, suddenly had a bad feeling.
