Mu Ci has been called Miss Qu by everyone since the first day she entered the mansion.
This also puzzled her.
Her surname is Mu, and her given name is Qu. She entered the palace when she was old enough to have hairpins, and only a handful of people knew her nickname, which confused her.
In addition, she rarely left Hengwuyuan, and not many people in the Zhou family knew of her existence. Everyone who met her called her Miss Qu.
I have met the old lady of the Zhou family a few times. She is a powerful person. It seems that the Zhou family does not know her origin, and the old lady of Zhou is no exception.
Today an old lady came to see her, probably because she wanted to find out where she was from.
Under the leadership of Nan Xing, Mu Ci went to Rizhao Hall where Mrs. Zhou lived.
This time, it was not a coincidence that Mu Ci met Zhou Yueting, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and Zhou Jiahui, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
Mu Ci has lived in the Zhou family for half a year and has already explored all the interpersonal relationships in the Zhou family, but this is the first time he has met the two girls from the first house face to face.
Mu Ci is now living in the Zhou Mansion as Miss Qu's guest, and she has just reached the age of hairpins. Therefore, in terms of appearance, the clothes she wears are all pink and pink.
Coupled with the fact that her face was already small, and she looked fresh and fresh at the moment, no one knew at first glance that she was already a nineteen-year-old girl.
The moment the eldest sister of the Zhou family saw Mu Ci's face clearly, all their attention was attracted by Mu Ci's charming face.
This lady has a beautiful nose, a delicate mouth, and bright eyes. When she looks at you, she seems to be conveying her affection to you...
Zhou Jiahui has heard of Miss Qu for a long time, but because she rarely goes out of Hengwuyuan, she has long wanted to see what Miss Qu looks like, but she has no chance.
At this moment, when she saw this charming and refined beautiful girl in front of her, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
"Are you Miss Qu?" Zhou Jiahui's voice was a bit sharp at the beginning.
Nan Xing whispered to Mu Ci the identities of Zhou Jiahui and Zhou Yueting.
Mu Ci understood and smiled lightly, "Exactly."
She remembered very clearly that Zhou Jiahui was the third youngest among all the ladies in the Zhou family.
As for that quiet and dignified girl, there is no doubt that she is Zhou Jiahui's eldest sister Zhou Yueting.
Zhou Yueting looked Mu Ci up and down, and was also amazed by Mu Ci's beauty. But she was not as fussy as Zhou Jiahui. Although she was amazed by Mu Ci's beauty, it didn't show on her face.
"I am Jiahui's eldest sister. Miss Qu can call me Yueting. Miss Qu is going to Rizhao Hall? My sister and I happen to be going too, so we might as well come together." Zhou Yueting smiled warmly and moved, and took the initiative to show her kindness to Mu Ci.
.
Although I don’t know the origin of this girl Qu, I am sure that the person who makes the old lady dare not neglect her has some background.
"Very good." Mu Ci was still lukewarm.
However, Zhou Jiahui deliberately criticized her: "You are an orphan, so why do you come to live with us?"
She looked up and down at Mu Ci, especially Mu Ci's dignified appearance, like that of a well-known lady, which made her feel an eyesore. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was Mu Ci's face, which would make any man's heart flutter after looking at it.
Although it was the first time I met this girl today, she was very unhappy with Miss Qu.
You must not be slapped by Cousin Xiao and Miss Qu...
Mu Ci just smiled and didn't answer.
She felt that this Zhou family was a bit strange. They knew that her origin was unknown, but they still took her in. So who was the person who abandoned her in the Zhou family?
She was too curious, so she stayed at Zhou's house. After all, she had food, clothing, and no one to disturb her, so she lived a leisurely life.
"Let me ask you a question, are you deaf?" Zhou Jiahui couldn't see Mu Ci's incomprehensible look.
It's just that she looks better, so there's nothing special about her.
"Third sister, don't be rude to Miss Qu!" Zhou Yueting took on the posture of the eldest sister and shouted.
"Take care of yourself first and stop putting money in your face!" After Zhou Jiahui said that, she left without looking back.
Zhou Yueting looked at Zhou Jiahui's back and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Third sister's temperament has always been like this, Miss Qu, don't be surprised."
"Easy to say." Mu Ci spoke concisely and to the point.
Zhou Yueting didn't say anything more, and the two of them walked quietly on the cobblestone path. After passing the Chaoshou Veranda, in front of them was the Rizhao Hall where Mrs. Zhou lived.
Mu Ci concentrated on walking and saw Rizhao Tang arriving. Just as he was about to go, Zhou Yueting suddenly said, "Do Miss Qu and Cousin Xiao know each other?"
Mu Ci slowed down his steps.
The cousin Xiao mentioned by Zhou Yueting should be the Xiao Ziyan mentioned by Nan Xing from time to time, right?
Judging from Nan Xing Rumu's tone, this Xiao Ziyan should be a romantic figure. Many girls in the Zhou family fell in love with Master Xiao.
It's just that she has been in the Zhou Mansion for more than half a year, and she has never seen this talented and handsome Mr. Xiao.
And this Zhou Mansion always gave her a strange feeling. This was probably the so-called intuition that had been immersed in the harem for many years.
Mu Ci just smiled at Zhou Yueting and did not answer her question: "We have arrived at Rizhao Hall. I will go in first to say hello to the old lady."
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhou Yueting didn't feel like asking any more questions, so she followed her into the Rizhao Hall.
The old lady in the first seat was over fifty, with obvious hair on her temples, but she was in good spirits and her face was rosy. But her shrewd eyes always made people uncomfortable when they looked at people.
After Mu Ci said hello to the old lady, she held her hand.
"Girl Qu, the older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. I wonder which young master is lucky enough to marry such a charming person." The old lady patted Mu Ci's hand, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Old lady, you're too flattering. I haven't thought about getting married yet." Mu Ci lowered his eyes and stood respectfully.
"This can't be done. You have already reached the age of hair. If you don't get married, you will be an old girl. At that time, others will choose you. Tell me what kind of young master you like and what kind of requirements the family has. Just tell me, I
The old lady is arranging your marriage. There are many outstanding young men in Lin'an City, and you can have whatever you want." Old lady Zhou smiled kindly.
Mu Ci didn't think so.
It was just now that the old lady clearly was testing where she came from again.
It's strange to say that if the Zhou family disliked her living and eating in the Zhou Mansion for free, why didn't they simply send her away? Why did they keep her in the Zhou Mansion as an eyesore?
"To be honest with you, madam, I have no control over my marriage. I can only thank you for your kindness." Mu Ci responded obediently.
Mrs. Zhou's face looked a little strange and she continued to test: "You mean you've been engaged?"
"I'm not engaged, but my mother is very strict. My marriage still needs to be decided by my mother."
As soon as Mu Ci said this, even Zhou Yueting became curious: "Where does Miss Qu live? You are alone outside, how can your father be so relieved?"
"That's right, it's not just lip service, is it? I can also speak big words." Zhou Jiahui looked at Mu Ci with displeasure. She always felt that this woman was pretentious and had a charming and charming look. She didn't look like a serious person.
