Song Mingzhao barely managed to hold on to his weakness. “Y-Yu Residence? What happened?”
Her mother hurriedly got someone to bring over the ginseng soup. As she fed it to him, she said, “You were unconscious for three days and three nights. You had a high fever and vomited blood. Lord Shi mentioned that the Fourth Young Master of the Yu Residence had drowned previously and was also unconscious. It was Eldest Miss Yu who took out the Musk Medicinal
Fragrance Pill that she made and kept him alive. I was anxious and afraid, but I had no choice That i s why I bravely went to the Yu Residence to ask for the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. Old Madam and Eldest Miss Yu were also benevolent. Without a word, they gave up the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill and even followed me to help treat you…”
His mother said many words of grat.i.tude and relief, but Song Mingzhao did not listen.
His mind was filled with thoughts of how Yu Youyao had treated a child with asthma on Chang’an Street a while ago. When he was in critical condition, it was also Yu Youyao who had entered the residence to help treat him.
When he was unconscious, he had heard Yu Youyao’s voice and hadn’t heard wrongly.
She had really been there.
Song Mingzhao only took a few sips of the ginseng soup and fainted again.
In the nightmare, the girl whose voice couldn’t be heard clearly and whose face was blurry was very likely Yu Youyao.
Song Mingzhao didn’t say anything and kept looking at her.
His deep gaze made Yu Youyao feel a little suffocated. “On account of the fact that the Song and Yu families are long-time friends, I won’t hold it against you for being rude today, but please respect yourself, Young Master Song.”
A girl’s courtesy name was a very private matter. It was already rude for Song Mingzhao to ask on the spot.
Indecent!
A well-mannered and polite woman did not answer yes or no. Instead, she had to consider if this question was appropriate before deciding if she could answer.
It was obvious!
Song Mingzhao’s words were too rude, so there was no need for her to answer.
Not only that, she couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened after he had been rude.
Song Mingzhao knew that he had angered Yu Youyao, and his face turned slightly pale. “Miss Yao, I was rude just now. Please forgive me if I’ve offended you.”
He had not wanted to be rude to Yu Youyao, but Yu Youyao’s att.i.tude towards him was too distant and cold. He was even a little anxious.
For some reason, ever since Yu Youyao’s third sister appeared, he felt even more frustrated.
On impulse, he asked the question that had been buried in his heart.
Song Mingzhao regretted it very much. After this incident, Yu Youyao would probably distance herself from him even more. She would probably think that he was rude and had an undeserved reputation.
Yu Youyao stopped in her tracks and said calmly, “I still have something to do, so I won’t send you out. Please help yourself.”
With that, she quickened her pace and left Song Mingzhao behind.
It wasn’t until she entered the north courtyard that Yu Youyao took a deep breath and calmed down. After Song Mingzhao found out about her courtesy name, the shock in her heart suddenly rose.
Yu Youyao calmed down a little. It was just a courtesy name. If he knew, it did not mean anything.
The Song and Yu families were family friends. Song Mingzhao probably wouldn’t make things difficult for her because of her name.
Besides, she did not admit that her courtesy name was Zhi Yao!
It was impossible for Song Mingzhao to confirm it with her grandmother, so nothing would change.
Most importantly, she had yet to reach the age of adulthood. Although she had a courtesy name, it had yet to be officially decided. If Song Mingzhao wanted to use her name to cause trouble, she would slap him in the face.
When she reached adulthood, she would change it to something elseo
With a countermeasure in mind, Yu Youyao calmed down and returned to An Shou Hall.
Old Madam Yu pointed at the gifts piled up on the table. “These are all gifts from Heir Song. As an elder, it’s not good for me to accept his things. Keep them yourself!”
She could tell that Yao Yao was very distant from Song Mingzhao.
With the relationship between the Song and Yu families, although Yu Yaoyao and Song Mingzhao did not have a strong friendship, they were still close. It did not matter if they were closer.
However!
Thinking about how Song Mingzhao had asked his father to send him to the Precious Peace Temple to study since he was young, the two children had never interacted with each other before. Although they had met a few times in the past, they had only interacted this time when Song Mingzhao was unconscious.
It seemed to make sense that they were unfamiliar with each other.
There was no hurry. Some things still had to progress slowly.
After returning to the Jade Courtyard, Yu Youyao handed the thank-you gift from Song Mingzhao to Nanny Xu and did not care much about it.
After Nanny Xu registered it, she showed it to her. “It’s all expensive medicinal herbs and spices. In addition, there’s a purple-gold cloud-patterned inkstone from Langya Mountain in Shandong.”
Yu Youyao was a little surprised.
In addition to the unprecedentedly rare red silk inkstone in Shandong, there was also a strange stone called the purple gold stone. The great scholar, Su
Shi, happened to obtain a purple gold inkstone and instructed his son to wait for his death to be buried with it.
The main source of purple gold stone was in Anhui, and there was only a small amount in Shandong. As for which of the two sources was of better quality, there were many opinions, but there was no conclusion.
It was fine for ordinary items to be stored after they were registered, but expensive items had to be reviewed by their masters before entering the residence.
Nanny Xu handed over the sandalwood box with the purple-gold cloud-patterned inkstone.
The lid of the box was open. Yu Youyao immediately saw the purple-gold inkstone. It was reddish-purple and smooth. It was carved in the shape of a jade Ruyi and had cloud patterns. Its design was simple and elegant. Compared to the freshness of the red silk inkstone, the purple-gold inkstone was plump and natural, and it was a little heavier.
Yu Youyao only admired it for a while and did not even touch it. She said,
“Keep it!’
Nanny Xu looked at the red silk inkstone on the desk.
The red silk inkstone and the purple and gold inkstone each had their own styles.
Yu Youyao’s treatment of them was worlds apart.
Yu Youyao did not mention anything about the origins of the red silk inkstone. The people around her were also familiar with the strange things in her hands, so they did not suspect anything.
However, Yu Youyao’s love for the red silk inkstone made it not difficult for
Nanny Xu to guess that Zhou Linghuai had given it to her.
After Song Mingzhao’s episode, the Yu Residence regained its peace.
Nanny Liu was in charge of the matters in the Rain Autumn Courtyard, so Yu Youyao did not interfere anymore.
Concubine Qiu was a smart person and did not use the pregnancy to cause trouble in the residence.
Unknowingly, Concubine Qiu had been pregnant for three months. This pregnancy was finally stable. As long as Concubine Qiu recuperated obediently, there would most likely be no problem with this pregnancy.
Madam Yao received the news immediately and brought a lot of supplements to visit Concubine Qiu.
Old Madam Yu heaved a sigh of relief. “Ancestors, please bless us. I hope this pregnancy will go smoothly.”
Seeing that Concubine Qiu was still quite honest, she picked another talented aunt from the clan to teach her some manners and literature.
Concubine Qiu was indeed a smart person.
She had long known that back then that Master had taken a fancy to her mainly because she was proficient in literature and calligraphy. After becoming a concubine, she read and wrote a lot. She was really talented..
