In the next two days, the Zhao family's yard was very lively. The old ladies who were familiar with Mrs. Zhao in two nearby streets came to the Zhao family to inquire about Danrong and Qiuyue.

Old Mrs. Zhao, Danrong and Qiuyue both agreed, saying that the two daughters were sold to the wealthy family in the foreign country as maids. He Erye of the city was informed and found them and helped redeem them. As for other details, no matter how others inquire about them, the Zhao family would not mention them at all. Unless a person with particular eyesight guessed that there was something unspeakable, he would not ask further.

It is still impossible to determine who Zhao Xiangyun is, but the neighbors all envied Mrs. Zhao for her good fortune.

If Xiangyun is among the two girls, it is a reunion of relatives. Without Xiangyun, Old Mrs. Zhao was so useless that two beauties were so useless that even if they didn’t want to stay at home as maids, they would sell or marry, they could make a fortune with the appearance of the two girls. How much money did this little old lady live with her eldest grandson?

When the neighbors watching the fun stopped visiting each other, the Zhao family finally became quiet again.

Through three days of getting along, Danrong and Qiuyue basically understood the situation of the Zhao family, and Gillian also observed the general temperament of the two girls. Danrong was spoiled and regarded herself as a girl from the Zhao family. Guo Xing was very comfortable in calling Cui Niang and was generally polite to her. He was intimate with Mrs. Zhao, but the official went out early and came back late, so Danrong had no chance to be with the official.

Qiuyue became much more distant. She was not attached to Mrs. Zhao and did not flatter the officials. She would take the initiative to help Cui Niang do things, and would also come to her house to help with needlework.

In her own heart, Gillian likes Qiuyue more. Danrong often spyses on her situation of getting along with the official, so Qiuyue doesn't talk so much.

But Gillian won’t complain to the official, what if the one who doesn’t like is Miss Xiangyun?

When the official came back and asked about their daily life, Gillian tried to answer without any prejudice.

That morning, Gillian dressed up and came to the yard to help Guo Xing and Cui Niang clean up the embroidery work that she wanted to sell today, Rouge.

"Cui Niang, why are your face so ugly? Are you sick?" Gillian noticed Cui Niang's abnormality.

Cui Niang covered her stomach and said, "It's okay, it's just a stomachache. Maybe she didn't cover her with cold clothes last night, so she just went out to bask in the sun."

Qiuyue passed by and heard this and said, "Then you can rest at home and I'll go and set up a stall for you."

Cui Niang waved her hand quickly and said no.

Old Mrs. Zhao heard the voice in the room and asked what was wrong. When she learned that Qiuyue wanted to set up a stall, Old Mrs. Zhao immediately came out and took Qiuyue's hand and said, "Why are you going to join in the fun? Cui Niang is a maid. You may be my granddaughter. Just stay at home with me to enjoy your happiness."

Old Mrs. Zhao does like Danrong more because Danrong’s sweet mouth will make her happy, but Qiuyue may also be her granddaughter. How could Old Mrs. Zhao let her granddaughter show up in public?

Old Mrs. Zhao pulled Qiuyue in.

Gillian told Guo Xing: "If Cui Niang has not been well, please let her come back and rest, don't stand it."

Guo Xing knew that, he picked up the shoulder pole and went out with Cui Niang.

After a while, Danrong walked out of the west room with Mrs. Zhao and wanted to go shopping with Mrs. Zhao on the street. Danrong turned out to be one of the famous prostitutes in a brothel in Luoyang City. The envoys ordered her to give the madam money to spend the night, and they would secretly reward Danrong's silver and jewelry. Danrong saved a lot of private houses. He Zhaofeng took the initiative to redeem her. Without spending Danrong a penny, Danrong brought her private house to the Zhao family. The silver bill was hidden deep and she had only seen more than a dozen taels of silver for Mrs. Zhao.

This time, Danrong proposed that she wanted to buy jewelry for Mrs. Zhao, so Mrs. Zhao was naturally so happy that she couldn't stop talking.

After the two set off, Qiuyue came to the east room to accompany Jiao to make silk flowers.

Qiuyue did not spy on Ah Jiao's private affairs, and Ah Jiao was not good at asking about other people's past. She only whispered Qiuyue: "The old lady likes sweet-mouthed people, you also learn Danrong. Maybe you are the lady of the Zhao family. Why should you be so disgusted in front of the old lady and the official?"

Qiuyue smiled bitterly: "What if it is not? Now I call my grandmother and brother, and I will be shameless when I find out my identity in the future."

Gillian sighed and taught Qiuyue how to make silk flowers.

After only five flowers were made, there was a sudden noise from the gate. When Jiao looked out the window, she saw Cui Niang holding a round fan in her hand and blocking her butt. She ran to the downward room in a panic.

Ajiao hurried out and Qiuyue followed her.

The Zhao family built two downcast rooms, both of which were very small. Cui Niang lived in the inner room. The little girl ran in and did not close the door. When Jiao pushed the door open, she saw Cui Niang lying on the wooden bed, crying sadly.

Gillian said anxiously: "What's wrong with you Cui Niang? Have you been bullied?"

Cui Niang covered her skirt and turned around and said in tears: "Little lady, I'm bleeding, are you going to die?"

Gillian was stunned.

Qiu Yue laughed out loud, looked at Cui Niang and said, "Silly girl, no one has told you, will a girl have a menstrual period when she is old at the age of twelve or thirteen?"

Cui Niang looked at the two of them in a daze.

Gillian recalled Cui Niang's experience. When she was young, she left her hometown to beg for life with her brother. After arriving at Zhao's family, Mrs. Zhao had long been menstruated at such age. She washed her inner clothes by herself. Cui Niang didn't have the chance to notice anything, so she knew nothing.

Knowing that she was not suffering from a terminal illness, Cui Niang stopped crying, but just covered her stomach and shouted in pain.

Gillian smiled and said, "Lying down obediently, I'll cook ginger candy water for you."

Cui Niang felt aggrieved: "Doesn't it hurt if you drink sugar water?"

Gillian said, "It's better to use it."

Cui Niang lay down honestly.

Gillian came out with Qiuyue, and she went to the kitchen and asked Qiuyue to do a menstrual tuition for Cuiniang for emergency use, so she would do it more.

Qiuyue quickly got a menstrual chore to Cui Niang, then went to the kitchen and discussed with Jiao: "Little lady, Cui Niang is back, I'll sell things for her."

Gillian said in surprise: "How can this work? The old lady said..."

Qiuyue's eyes were filled with a feeling that Gillian couldn't understand, but she was very firm: "I'll go this time. If I can't sell well, I won't go even if the little lady drove me to. You promised me to go out. When the old lady turned around, I blamed her and I would carry it alone."

She said so, almost begging, how could Gillian bear to refuse?

Qiuyue was overjoyed and asked clearly how to walk the road, so she set off.

Gillian cooked ginger candy water, and while taking care of Cui Niang, she was worried about the situation in the shed.

On the edge of the Qing River, Guo Xing was unable to walk away and worried about his inexplicable bloodshed sister. He was anxious until Qiuyue walked in front of him that Guo Xing suddenly recognized him. Isn’t this Miss Qiuyue?

"Girl, why are you here?"

Qiuyue and Danrong are both beautiful and charming. Danrong is charming and gorgeous. It is difficult for people to notice her when they stand on the street. Qiuyue’s facial features are slightly less than Danrong, but she is born with snow-white skin and a white lotus-like face moist and delicate without any black moles. For two beauties, ordinary men will unconsciously feel nervous and uneasy when they see them.

When Guo Xing first saw the young lady at home, he would be nervous and his heartbeat faster. Later, he became familiar with her. The young lady had a kind temper and had no airs, so Guo Xing could be calm. But Qiuyue and Danrong had just come to the Zhao family, and Guo Xing would still show his timidity when he saw them. So, when he talked to Qiuyue, he stuttered.

Qiuyue smiled gently and said, "Cui Niang feels uncomfortable, I'll come to see the stall for her."

When talking about her sister, Guo Xing forgot to be nervous and asked hesitantly: "Is it just uncomfortable? Did she ask the young lady to help hire a doctor?"

The silly sister had a silly brother. Qiuyue whispered while checking the things on the stall: "Don't worry, Cui Niang has just grown up and has a menstrual period."

Guo Xing didn't understand what menstruation was, but Qiu Yue's peaceful tone made him realize that it was normal for his sister to be like this.

Guo Xing finally remembered Qiuyue's identity. When he was about to persuade Qiuyue to go back soon, a cruise ship slowly floated over the river. The midsummer was hot, and the people of small families had time to stay at home to escape the summer heat, but there were also rich young men and ladies who liked to take boats to the river.

In front of the cruise ship, the boatman stood at the bow of the boat, and the window of the tent opened, and there were two young men and three or four girls in colorful skirts. They were either cousins ​​or familiar relatives and friends.

Guo Xing was still thinking about persuaded Qiuyue. Qiuyue swept the boat tent with beautiful eyes, and suddenly picked up a folding fan and opened it. While shaking it gently, he called out to the boat tent: "Young Master, are you going to have a look?"

She did not shout loudly to attract customers, but was more like chatting with passersby. Her voice was as crisp as a warbler, and the hot weather came into her ears, which was more pleasant than silk and bamboo.

Guo Xing is so close to Qiuyue, and half of his body is about to be slim.

Why does Qiuyue's voice change when she speaks? She is in the Zhao family. No, when she just talked to him, her voice was not like this, and it sounds nice, but it is not as nice as it makes people want to keep listening.

Guo Xing stared at Qiuyue blankly.

Qiu Yue smiled in her eyes and looked at the young man in the gorgeous clothes who looked at her in the boat.

The cruise ship was still floating, and it floated to the nearest pier and slowly stopped.

The girl on the boat did not move. Two slightly fat young men walked side by side and stood in front of the shop, saying that Qiuyue was asking Qiuyue to introduce the difference between the folding fans here, but his eyes were staring at Qiuyue.

Guo Xing was secretly nervous, only thinking that the two of them were not good people.

Qiuyue responded generously and didn't mind them watching, but she didn't do many frivolous actions to make people move. She sold two folding fans out. Qiuyue also looked at the cruise ship over there and joked with the two: "Young master only buys folding fans for herself, and don't buy some small items for the girls she likes on the boat, aren't you afraid that they will be annoyed?"

One of the young masters smiled and said, "What are you talking nonsense? There are all my sisters in my family."

Qiuyue smiled and blinked: "Sisters, you have to coax me, you are even more kidding than your sweetheart."

The young man shook his head, and then gave in helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you. What good things do you have here?"

Qiuyue first introduced them to rouge and then to silk flowers.

The two young men were also rich. The elder brother bought two sets of twelve boxes of different aromas of rouge, and the second brother bought two sets of 14 different styles of silk flowers. According to Qiuyue, if a girl likes the same, prepare two servings and some other portions to avoid quarrels.

The two young men returned with a full load, and a few praises came from the cruise ship and they quickly continued to set off.

Qiuyue turned around and handed the broken silver she had just obtained to Guo Xing, and smiled brightly: "You little bit, right?"

Guo Xing looked at the pieces of silver in her white and tender palms, and then looked at the shining style in her eyebrows and eyes. He was excited and admired. He rubbed his big hands on his robe before reaching out to take them, and praised him, "The girl is so amazing. We brothers and sisters can't compare to the girl. If we sold so much in one order, the little lady must be very happy!"

Qiuyue is not as happy as Guo Xing, but her heart that has been hanging for many days can finally fall.
