Chu Qing 2

Zi Luo is new, but Chu Qing is the capable maid next to the eldest lady after Yazhu, so the kitchen manager did not dare to neglect and introduced them in detail the preparation of various ingredients.

"Madam, I hope you don't miss the time and send us here to supervise. If you need any help, just speak." Chu Qing took out a tael of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the man.

"Of course, do your best." The man took the silver and smiled.

"Zi Luo, let's go around here to see if there is any cut corners or something less." Chu Qing turned around and said to Zi Luo, and handed her a piece of paper, which was a list.

Zi Luo nodded and followed Chu Qing to check everywhere carefully. As he walked, he suddenly heard something shaking and falling into a box containing carrots.

"Ah, why do you have this?" Chu Qing picked up the thing in surprise, a crystal clear jade pendant.

Zi Luo was so tired and sleepy last night that he fell asleep without taking off his clothes and covered himself with a quilt. The jade pendant he picked up by the well was not taken out from his waist belt.

It fell out at this time, and Chu Qing seemed to know this jade pendant, and Zi Luo showed an embarrassing expression.

"This is what I picked up by the well when I was digging water yesterday."

"Oh, this, this is mine, my mother left it to me." Chu Qing lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant. For a moment, she was ecstatic and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"If this happens, then the things will return to the original owner." Zi Luo said with a smile, his smile a little stiff due to embarrassment.

"Thank you, fortunately you picked it up." Chu Qing's eyes were shining, and she smiled, and there was the shyness of a girl.

Chu Qing separated the jade pendant from the belt around her waist and continued to look carefully. Zi Luo also worked hard. Later, she met Lan Yuniang, chatted for a few words, and helped her peel the radish. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, the two left the kitchen and returned to the Grand Lady's Other Courtyard.

"Well, you look like a smart girl." The eldest lady nodded after hearing Chu Qing's reply and glanced at Zi Luo standing beside her.

Yazhu took out an jade bracelet and handed it to Ziluo.

"Mrs. I'll give you a reward."

"Madam Xie." Zi Luo, who took the bracelet, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Go back, I'll leave you for a long time, I'm afraid the third lady will be uneasy." The eldest lady showed a disdainful expression.

"Yes, madam." Zi Luo could only obey.

The two ladies' residences were not far away. Zi Luo was in a heavy pace and his mood was also heavy. The eldest lady's words tightened her nerves. Will the third lady vent her dissatisfaction with the eldest lady on her?

Suddenly she lowered her head and saw the bracelet that the eldest lady gave her just now. She wore it directly on her wrist, and when she saw that she was sweating coldly on her forehead.

"Luckily I saw it." She muttered quietly, taking off the bracelet and putting it on her waist.

If the third lady saw what the eldest lady gave... she would not dare to think about it and was secretly afraid.

"Yeah, what kind of pretty girl is this?" The light voice seemed a little familiar. Zi Luo raised his head, almost staggered and fell down.

"Three Young Master." Zi Luo said softly.

"I'm going to my mother's place and go together." The third young master Qingjun raised the corner of his mouth. Although he was handsome, he didn't catch Zi Luo's eyes.

Zi Luo did not answer, but just followed Qingjun silently, feeling nervous.

"Mom, I'm here in time. I just served the food." Zi Luo followed Qingjun into the door and saw that the maid who was delivering food in the kitchen had just left.

"Back to Madam, Madam, let me come back." Zi Luo did not dare to look up, but just saluted to Madam the third one. The voice was very small, and I wonder if anyone heard it.

"It's Jun'er, come and sit down." Zi Luo was indeed ignored, so he had to secretly look at Zhu'er.

"You go to the yard to weed, Lan Yu and I are here." Zhu'er walked to her and whispered.

"Yes." Zi Luofu got the money and was about to quit, but was stopped by the third wife.

"What did the eldest lady ask you to do?"

"Send Chuqing and I to the kitchen to help." Zi Luo's nerves tightened and his brain quickly turned, afraid that he would say something wrong.

"Hmph." The third lady snorted coldly, grabbed a piece of eggplant and put it in her mouth.

"Mom, I know you like to drink flower tea. Today I got a box of health flower tea, and I offer it to you." Qingjun took out a small wooden box carved with exquisite patterns from his sleeve.

"It's rare that you have this filial piety." The third lady's face calmed down and she started to laugh with Qingjun. Zi Luo saw that Zhu'er winked at her and retreated.

Zi Luo has been busy in the yard until they should eat. When they returned to their residence, they met Chu Qing. She had already finished her lunch and hurried out. Maybe it was because the eldest lady was busy today.

After dinner, Zi Luo returned to the yard and continued to work in the yard. Shuangyue wiped the floor in the room, Zhuier was pounding the shoulders of the third wife, and Lan Yu was tidying up the clothes in the third wife's cabinet.

Everyone had their own work. In the afternoon, the third wife did not go out except to appreciate the flowers in the pavilion in the yard.

"The master must have been busy with Qingxuan's affairs these two days."

This is the only time Zi Luo heard the third wife's words and talked to himself to a peony that was as bright as a red cloud.

Tomorrow is the wedding day of the eldest son, so dinner tonight should be earlier to make time to prepare for tomorrow's wedding banquet.

The third wife also rested early, Zi Luo followed Shuangyue and Lan Yu returned to her residence.

"I really need to have a good rest. I'm going to cheer up tomorrow. I want to have a good look at the bride."

The two moon blushed and her eyes were full of fantasy.

"I think it's beautiful. The bride is covered with a big red head. How can it be your turn?" Lan Yu gently pinched Shuangyue's cheek and smiled.

Zi Luo watched them all lie down and cover them with a quilt and fall asleep, but he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he sat up again, put on his clothes and went out.

She remembered seeing a small pavilion behind the yard. Today's moon was also very bright. The faint silver light poured down like a waterfall and sprinkled on the path made of pebbles, as beautiful as a fairyland.

While admiring the beauty of the moon, Zi Luo walked towards the direction of the pavilion. Suddenly she slowed down until she stopped moving forward.

She moved to the back of a tree, tilted her head slightly, and looked forward with only one eye exposed.

In the pavilion ahead, Chu Qing's figure was clearly visible in the moonlight. But what surprised Zi Luo was that there was a man next to Chu Qing. Although he was standing in the dark, his slender figure and elegant temperament reminded Zi Luo of the person he saw in the big yard on the day he first entered the Zhao Mansion.

"For you, why did you lose such a precious thing?"

Although it was a little blurry, Zi Luo still saw Chu Qing handing a jade pendant on the man. The silver light of the moonlight shone on the jade pendant, making the jade look even more crystal clear and melted at the beginning.

It was his jade, and Ziluo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated silently.

"My elder brother is going to get married tomorrow. When can I give you a grand wedding?" The man's voice was low and sad.

"Young Master, I don't ask for any wedding, I just want to stay with you forever." Chu Qing gently leaned her head against the man's chest.

Seeing all this, Zi Luo was full of sadness after being surprised. Suddenly, the back of his hand felt warm. It turned out that a tear was dripping on the back of his hand. The big brother and the young master, he looked like his temperament, and he didn't look like the third young master, but he was probably the second young master Qingwen.

I hope everyone will leave more messages, thank you for your support!
