Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 274 Persuasion
In the early morning, Yue Qing took a nap. Open your eyes and stretch. The life of a wealthy family is good. Although there is no modern advanced technology, the life ideal of sleeping until you wake up naturally and counting money until your hands cramp is achieved.
Qing'er came to the bed and put the washing utensils on the small table aside.
"Miss, you're awake. The warm water has been changed several times. Qing'er was planning to call you. If you don't wake up, Deacon Shen will have to make breakfast again for the third time."
Yue Qing rubbed her head and looked out the window, "I did sleep for a long time."
"Get up quickly. The temperature of the water is just right. It will get cold if you wait any longer. The morning in Li Country is a bit colder than in the villa. Be careful of the cold water irritating you. Come, Qing'er will clean up for you."
Yue Qing let her take care of it and asked, "Is Mo Xue back?"
"I'm back. I was back last night."
"Where's Chang Ge? Have you returned to the hospital?"
"No, the lady said she was not allowed in. How dare he come in?"
"What about others?"
"I stayed outside the hospital all night last night."
"How to stay outside the hospital?"
"Why can't he be treated well? Miss, don't worry about him. Deacon Ge's martial arts are not weak, so even if he stays for a few more nights, it won't be a big deal."
"The Chang family also practices martial arts?"
"The men of the Chang family practice martial arts, but their strengths and weaknesses vary. The women of the Chang family do not."
"Oh, by the way, do Aunt Liu and the others have any news? What is daddy planning to do?"
"Aunt Liu was sent to the village in the countryside by the prince early this morning. I heard that it was far away from the capital. None of the attendants around her were allowed to take her. Even the maids and women who were accompanying her as dowry were all slaves of the prince's palace. She also found someone to sell the dowry early this morning. The dowry she brought was not much, and paying it all would not be enough to fill the shortfall. Now she has no servants and no money. It’s probably impossible to get back a penny.”
Yue Qing sighed: "It's your own fault."
"No, her brother has also been kicked out of the palace. Not only has the finance gained from the palace over the years been returned to the palace, but the shortfalls also need to be filled. At first, he was not convinced, saying that the palace did not care about family ties. , the prince said that he would let someone from the Yamen come to specially try the case, so he was honest. He wrote an IOU and was kicked out with his whole family. In the end, the prince thought about his family ties and gave them a carriage and a way to return home. Aunt Liu's yard is now free, and this morning Aunt Wen invited Sister Hong'er to take inventory of the things in the yard. I don't know if the inventory has been completed."
"That's good. After we're quiet, my mother can rest in peace and recover. Let's eat. I'll go see my mother after eating."
"Okay, Qing'er will pass it on right away."
After serving Yue Qing for dinner, Qing'er asked: "Miss, shall we go to the madam's courtyard now?"
"Yeah. Go now."
Qing'er continued: "Deacon Xue is waiting for Miss Xue in the courtyard. Miss Cai was having dinner just now, so he didn't say whether you would like to see him now."
Yue Qing turned to look at her: "If he wants to see me, just say so."
"Miss is eating, where can I see him?"
Yue Qing smiled and said: "Don't do this next time, just say it directly. What if someone is in an emergency?"
"The big emergency can't affect the young lady's appetite. I'll call him in here."
"Well, you go ahead."
After a while, Mo Xue walked in wearing blue brocade clothes. The same blue jade crown tied up the black hair neatly.
A cool voice said: "Good morning, miss."
Yue Qing walked from the round table to the table beside it and sat down: "Good morning, Mo Xue. Come and sit down."
Mo Xue knelt down beside the desk.
"Did you come back late from the palace yesterday?"
"It's not too late. The palace will close its doors when the time comes. Mo Xue will be in trouble if he comes back."
"oh."
"Although it was not too late when I came out of the palace, I went to visit the Yue family and the others later, so it was indeed a little late when I returned to the palace."
"Oh, how are they doing, settled in?"
"Settled in."
"oh."
"The head of the Yue family has arranged a separate courtyard where the young lady will live during her stay in Li Country. The young lady can move in at any time."
"Is it far from here?"
"A little far."
"Then if I go there, it won't be inconvenient for me to go back and forth."
"There is also a courtyard near the palace that was originally intended for the young lady to live in."
"Then why not live in this courtyard."
"Because there is something special about that other courtyard."
"What a special method."
"That courtyard is the courtyard where the previous generation of goddess lived. No one else is allowed to enter. After all, the lady has a special status and has a deep connection with the goddess, so she cannot be compared with others."
"The former goddess? Didn't that happen three hundred years ago? No one has entered the courtyard for so long?"
"There were many attendants serving the goddess at that time, and their descendants were responsible for taking care of those courtyards."
"Oh, aren't they still from our villa? Aren't you still allowed to come in? Since no one is allowed to come in, how will the Yue Family clean it up?"
Mo Xue smiled and said, "Miss, you don't know yet, but the head of the Yue family is also a descendant of those attendants."
"Oh. So that's it. Well, okay, whether I can live in it or not, I'm quite curious. You can go over and have a look."
Mo Xue nodded. "Okay, Miss, you must wear a spiritual stone that symbolizes your identity when you go there, and you must wear it at all times in the courtyard."
"Why? Although the spirit stone is beautiful, it is not light. It feels too heavy to hang around my neck every day."
"The head of the Yue family said that this represents respect for the previous generation of goddesses and the descendants of those who serve."
"Oh. Okay. Just wear it."
Mo Xue said again: "Don't you want to go to Qiu's house to see Qiu Yu?"
"Um."
"That courtyard is quite close to Qiu's house."
"Oh, that's good. We can visit after we get there."
Mo Xue continued: "I have also talked with Ayu. He said that he can give the lady a painting that he likes, but I am afraid it is not appropriate to teach the lady how to paint. He said that he is not good at teaching others."
Yue Qing couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't really want to learn any painting, I was just prevaricating my father and Aunt Wen."
"That's good. I was thinking that the lady really wants to learn, so I'll try to persuade you."
"No, no, don't persuade me."
Mo Xue nodded and then said, "Miss, were you angry with Chang Ge yesterday?"
Yue Qing pouted and said: "He taught me a lesson. I happened to meet Shi Rong when I went to Yue Ke's house yesterday, and he said he wanted to go to their house to play. He didn't say he would go immediately. He wanted to come back and discuss it with us, but he said I was doing it without permission. Make the decision and shouldn’t bring up things to play.”
Mo Xue said: "Although the Chang family's requirements for spiritual girls are very low in the villa, it is different after leaving the villa. The young lady must know that Chang Ge is in charge of Runfang Pavilion, and the main task of Runfang Pavilion is to produce the Chang family's heirs. And continuation, the children of the spirit girl are naturally the top priority, and this is also the most important task of the Chang family. Miss, do you know what this means? "
"What does it mean?"
"It means Chang Ge's status in the Chang family. Although the Chang family's spirit daughter has a respected status and is admired by the villa, she has no actual power in the Chang family, but Chang Ge does."
"You mean he can control me?"
"No, he can't force Miss. Miss is not an ordinary spirit girl. You, the people's saint, are the people closest to the goddess."
"So what if he has power?"
"The Chang clan has a clan leader, and there are elders under the clan leader. Chang Ge is the most powerful among the elders. He usually speaks the truth in front of the Chang clan clan members. If the Chang clan clan members do things without consideration and make the wrong decision, , I always correct them immediately, and I do the same to several deans, no matter how distinguished they are."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes: "I know, you are here to persuade me."
Mo Xue said softly and clearly: "I'm not here to persuade the young lady to admit her mistake. Mo Xue thinks that the young lady did the right thing yesterday. Chang Ge really shouldn't reprimand the young lady directly, but should choose a more tactful method to advise. Mo Xue just wants to Just tell the lady not to get angry over these little things."
Yue Qing looked at him: "Then can I go out to play?"
Mo Xue said calmly: "If Miss wants to go out, she needs someone to follow her."
"Then how many people do you plan to send to follow me?"
"Qi Jiao should make arrangements for Miss's escort. It is better to listen to Commander Jiao's opinion."
"Okay. Qi Jiao agreed yesterday that I would go out. People say I come out just to relax. I am not as rigid as Chang Ge."
Mo Xue said: "That's what the lady said."
Yue Qing said happily: "That's great, Mo Xue. I find that you are very easy to talk to now. You must be coaxing me on purpose. This is persuasion in a roundabout way. In fact, you still want to achieve your goal. Well, in fact, I was no longer angry yesterday. But after thinking about it, I decided to let Chang Ge live in the outer courtyard with Yue Ke and the others. I have to let everyone know that I also have a temper. If you mess with me again, I will be angry. "
Mo Xue said: "Okay, Mo Xue will tell him later."
Yue Qing added: "Don't take it too seriously when you tell him. I was a little angry at the time. It wasn't all because he was lecturing me, it was mainly because I was a little upset."
Mo Xue said: "Yes, I will tell him. Miss is feeling upset, why not let Medical Officer She come and take a look."
"No need, I will prescribe a lot of bitter medicine and it will make you feel even worse after taking it. I just want to relax, Mo Xue. I am bored at home every day, and there are a lot of people around me every day. I feel very annoyed. Sometimes I see someone Neither is comfortable.
You can't understand how I feel. We are very free there. No one will stop you from going anywhere, and there are all kinds of ways to solve problems. Even when I sleep, I wear headphones that can listen to music in my ears.
Although here we have fine clothes and good food, we don’t have to worry about food and drink, and we don’t have to leave early and come home late from work, but it’s too boring. I still like ours. "
"Miss is homesick."
"I think so, of course I do. There have been no signs of going back recently. Could it be that Sanyu Xiaolingwei's ability has become very strong?"
Mo Xue said: "Miss, there is no need to worry. The Villa has always paid close attention to Miss's affairs. It has also been investigating the matter of time, space and soul for a long time, and there are indeed some clues."
"Really? What's the clue?"
"It's not clear yet. I told you when I was at the villa that the answers to these may be found in the forbidden area. Unfortunately, we can't enter the forbidden area. However, the forbidden area is a place related to the goddess, and the places related to the goddess are not only forbidden areas, but every A generation of goddesses will not stay in the villa forever. The previous generation of goddesses who are closest to the present time have been to many places, and the other courtyard I just mentioned to the lady is one of the places where goddesses often live."
"Then what you mean by having a clue is that you can go to the places where the goddess has been to find the answer?"
"It can be said that we have found some documents, but they are only fragments and not very clear. Mo Xue has not sorted them out yet. I will show them to the lady after I sort them out in the future."
"Oh, when can we go over and take a look at this other courtyard?"
"If you want to go, Miss, you can go there today. It will take less than two hours by carriage."
"Then does anyone else know what we are going to do? Do we still need to tell my mother and the others?"
"Miss, are you talking about Chang Ge and the others? Of course they know about this other courtyard, but they don't know what Miss is going to do. As for Madam, it's okay to talk about it."
"If I want to live there, can my mother live in it?"
"Probably not. Not to mention madam, not all the people brought by the lady can enter. First of all, the Qingwei cannot enter, and neither can Chunxiu. In total, there are only three Zhuwei and three Chi. Can Wei, Lingwei Chang Yuxiao and a few of our deacons enter?"
"There are quite a few people there. I happen to be going to my mother later to talk about this."
Mo Xue said: "Madam, it is inconvenient to say more when there are many people in the courtyard."
"Okay. I'm going to find my mother now." After saying that, Yue Qing stood up and Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Mo Xue also stood up and said, "Miss, don't worry, Mo Xue hasn't finished speaking yet."
Yue Qing stopped and looked back at him: "Is there anything else?"
Mo Xue smiled and said: "Miss, I forgot why Mo Xue went to the palace yesterday."
"Oh, yes, yes, how was it when you went to the palace yesterday? Do I still need to go to the palace?"
