  Chapter 94: Poor and White (Part 1)

  Joyful music filled the air, firecrackers burst into bloom, and strings of firecrackers crackled and popped wildly. A group of children stood at the entrance of the Qiu mansion, giggling and watching the commotion. Fifty or sixty high-stepping horses neighed loudly, exhaling misty breath, while twenty or thirty red lacquered wooden carriages stretched from one end of the street to the other, with bright red double happiness characters pasted on them. The horses were spirited, the carriages were majestic, and the people were even more dignified.

  Those on horseback, each wearing a sword, black clothes and red cloak, boots. The surroundings were so lively, but they held the reins tightly, sat upright, eyes straight ahead, absolutely well-trained.

  Suddenly, a little girl in a pink skirt with pigtails ran to the front of the black horse and seemed a bit shy.

  "Second Master, Madame Yu is looking for you." After saying that, he turned around and ran back.

  The reins were tightened, the black horse let out a loud whinny, and its entire head turned around. It trotted over to a carriage in the convoy, where a man shouted softly to stop the horse, then jumped down. His face was chiseled with sharp features, his nose high and his eyebrows thick, his dark eyes shining like stars. He had a proud and majestic bearing - it was none other than Xiao Erlang, also known as the Second Young Master of the Jingwang Estate.

  "Yù yí, what brings you looking for me?" he asked from outside the carriage.

  "I think it's about time, the bride will be out soon. Come with me to the front door and say a few words of farewell to your relatives." Wei Qiong Yu got down from the carriage with the help of two maidservants.

  Xiao Er Lang was not willing, but it's not good to disobey the elders' words, let alone he came out under the banner of visiting relatives and welcoming relatives. Now that the secret order has been completed smoothly, in order to avoid suspicion, he still had to pretend to be the new uncle, Xiao Er Ge.

  Suddenly, a yellow-robed figure came running over, Wu Jiang's instincts causing Xiao Erlang to immediately respond with a large step to the right, blocking Wei Qiong Yu's carriage.

  "Hurry hurry, what's the rush? Don't be startled, it's just a joyful event." He was entrusted by his parents, and the first person he should take care of is Yu Niang, not the relatives who have not yet entered the family.

  "Mozhi never panicked, only feared that he would miss the auspicious time for the young lady to go out." She ran quickly, but didn't pant, and her voice was accompanied by a sweet smile. When she lifted her face, her complexion was like a bright pearl, but when she saw Xiao Erlang, it disappeared in an instant, and she restored her humble and obedient maid appearance. "At the order of the old master, please ask Auntie to come in for a chat."

  Xiao Er Lang's first glance only felt familiar, but he hadn't thought of the day he saw her at Ci Nian An. It was this girl's name that brought him some unpleasant memories. He thought to himself, where did so many people with the surname Mo come from, all gathering in front of him?

  "Second Brother, don't turn this into a battlefield and scare the young lady with your fierce aura." Wei Qiong Yu pushed away Xiao Er Lang, "We're here to welcome the bride, not to fight for her."

  What kind of temperament Wei Qiong Yu has, regardless, her voice and expression are amiable to everyone, she loves telling jokes, and it's easy for people to like her. The two maids behind her laugh like silver bells, she doesn't distinguish between old and young, instead, she herself also laughs with a smile.

  "Yu Niang." Xiao Er Lang was dissatisfied with Wei Qiong Yu's words.

  Wei Qiong Yu knew when to stop, grasped Mo Zi's hand and gave a thumbs up, "Look at this kid, as beautiful as an immortal fairy."

  It was Qiu San Niang's big happy day, and as her accompanying maid, she also had to dress up specially to help the young lady gain face. Green Chrysanthemum had already made four spring dresses.

  There, in purple ink, she wore a new yellow butterfly skirt with sleeves and a high-waisted belt made of willow branch silk. Her hair was as smooth as satin, tied up on both sides with pink ribbons, looking lovely and charming. Indeed, her skirt was more beautiful than the butterfly, and she was more beautiful than the flower. From head to toe, not a single piece of gold, silver or jade jewelry, yet she didn't look shabby at all, having the air of a noble family's daughter.

  A second-rate concubine is already like this, what about the young lady? Wei Qiong Yu's unease in her heart was slightly alleviated. Perhaps, this time she had chosen the right person.

  Mozi listened to Wei Qiongyu's praise, hastily thanked her and said, "According to the rules, when a young lady gets married, the aunt is not supposed to meet my family's old master. However, since there has been a change in the person sending off the bride, I'd like to discuss it with you first, madam, so as not to make you feel sudden."

  "Oh? In that case, it's only proper to meet the old master of the husband's family. Girl, you lead the way ahead." The person who sends off the bride represents the bride's natal family, and if they are not chosen properly, not only will the bride lose face, but also the parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, and even the servants will look down on her. After all, it was Wei Qiong Yu who chose them, and now the face of Ju San Niang is also hers.

  "Master Yu, but can I go with you?" Xiao Erlang had a respectful attitude towards Wei QiongYu.

  "Is it convenient for Erlang to follow, in purple ink?" Men and women are different, especially when one is an unmarried younger brother's wife and the other is an unmarried second uncle, they must avoid suspicion.

  "The young lady is waiting in the inner courtyard, and will only come out after Master has discussed it with you. If Second Master takes charge of arranging food and lodging along the way and goes together with you, that would be for the best." Mo Zi replied respectfully.

  "That's great. Erlang, you and I will go together." Wei Qiong Yu let Xiao Erlang follow up.

  Mei Zi led the way in front, listening to the footsteps behind her, but her mind wandered back to the previous night.

  "It's not easy to get a word of thanks from you. White lotus, green chrysanthemum, help me remember this well. One day, when Miss Mozi scolds me behind my back, you two will tell this story a hundred times and bring back her conscience." Jiang San Niang saw Mozi smile, and she herself smiled even more elegantly.

  "Miss, don't joke around." Bai He smoothed out the quilt and brought another cup of warm water for Qiu San Niang.

  "There are two things about Mozi that I don't understand. May I ask you a question, young lady?" She knew the general situation, but there were still some details that weren't clear.

  "Only two things?" Qiao San Niang pouted her bright red lips and said with a smile, "You think I'd tell you everything from start to finish? Ask away, it's better to have something than nothing."

  Qiu San Niang loves to join in the excitement, which should be inherited from Old Man Qiu.

  "Wu Ye, how did you suddenly take a liking to Bai He?" Mozi said, glancing at Bai He.

  White lotus face, red for a while, white for a while.

  "Of course it was me who let White Lotus go." Qiu San Niang spoke irresponsibly, with a thick skin.

  This time, Bai He, who was loyal and devoted, wanted to clear his own name. "Miss, how could I have hooked up with Wu Ye? It's just that... it's just that..." He couldn't continue speaking.

  "Yes, miss, that's not called hooking. Baihe sister just smiled at Wu Ye twice, no, it was two smiles. The first smile, Wu Ye didn't react. The second smile, Wu Ye's eyes lit up." Lüjing helped Baihe with the trick, but got the tone wrong.

  It's better to describe it as emitting a green glow, and Qiu Wu transforms into a wolf - Ink Purple quietly adds an explanation.

  "It's not that either. It was you, girl, who made me watch the ducks fight, I thought it was funny, so I laughed. Fifth Master happened to pass by and mistakenly thought I was laughing at him." Bai He started to twist her handkerchief, extremely embarrassed.

  "If I didn't say the ducks were fighting, but said my fifth brother had come, you would laugh so beautifully. This big sister will give it to you as a gift." Qiu San Niang was in an extremely good mood, "Who said that? For the sake of helping her sisters, she is willing to do anything. My good younger brother has enchanted you so much that your soul is overturned. I just encouraged him a bit and he ran to my good mother's place to ask for you. But it's okay, laughing with Hua Die for a while, in exchange for nothing happening between you and Mo Zi, isn't a loss."

  There is still a second update before 7 o'clock.
