Qin Rushuang, who was in Kyoto at this time, was completely unaware of everything that happened in the nunnery.
Qin Rushuang's feet began to swell in the past few days, and her appetite also began to decrease.
Dr. Cao came again and concluded that the edema and the fact that the fetus had grown up pressed Qin Rushuang's stomach, causing loss of appetite.
Because Qin Rushuang had difficulty moving, she rested in the palace for a few days, but she was someone who couldn't sit still. After resting for a few days, she couldn't sit still at all.
The rouge formula brought back from Boss Xu of Zhou County has been handed over to Qian Ertong, who is working hard on it with the master craftsmen of Du's Rouge Shop these days.
The whole palace was quiet. Su Meiren and Gu Meiren were now putting their enthusiasm into the rouge shop, while Zhong Meiren was reading and doing embroidery in the inner house all day long. It seemed that everyone had their own arrangements.
Qingzhi was massaging Qin Rushuang's swollen legs and feet at the moment. After pressing for a while, Qin Rushuang waved her hand and said, "There is no need to press it. Didn't Dr. Cao say that you will recover slowly after giving birth? Don't bother."
Qingzhi smiled and said, "After a while of massage, the princess will feel better. She will be fine. I will not be tired."
"Speaking of which, that guy Qian Ertong is becoming more and more powerful now. I heard several old shopkeepers from Du's are full of praise for him."
Qingzhi paused his hand and said nonchalantly, "He just has a sweet mouth and talks nicely."
Qin Rushuang signaled to Qingzhi not to press her down, and asked Qingzhi to help her up, "I think the sun is going down right now. I wonder how Fangzi is doing at the rouge shop. Let's go and take a look."
When Qin Rushuang took Qingzhi to Rouge Shop, Qian Ertong was also there.
When Qian Ertong saw Qingzhi, he immediately greeted him with a smile and answered Qin Rushuang's questions, but his eyes glanced towards Qingzhi from time to time.
How could Qin Rushuang not understand that he was missing Qingzhi, so he smiled and said, "If you have anything you want to tell Qingzhi, go ahead. Where are Su Meiren and Gu Meiren? I'll go see them."
Qian Erzong pointed behind him: "Thank you so much, Princess, for your understanding! The new rouge recipe developed by Su Meiren is very popular among ladies. As for Gu Meiren, the bottles and jars she designed are also very beautiful. You two can
It really helped Rouge Shop a lot!"
Walking to the back room where rouge was developed, Qin Rushuang saw Su Meiren concentrating on grinding something in the stone mortar.
Seeing Qin Rushuang coming, Su Mei quickly stood up and said, "Why is the princess here? Why don't you just rest in the mansion?"
Qin Rushuang stepped forward, supported Su Meiren who wanted to salute, and said with a smile: "I have been so lazy in the house these days. I gave the prescription to you and the master here a few days ago. Now
Why don't you come to see the progress?"
Hearing Qin Rushuang say this, Su Meiren told Qin Rushuang in a few words the progress of the formula development of Xu's rouge shop that she had obtained in Zhou County, and also gave her several rouges that she and her masters had developed after Qin Rushuang left.
Qin Rushuang looked at it.
Qin Rushuang was naturally full of praise after reading it.
She felt a little emotional in her heart. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to marry three people into Prince Huai's Mansion. Now it seems that maybe everyone has their own destiny.
Thinking that Su Mei had helped her a lot but was still alone now, Qin Rushuang couldn't help but ask, "I didn't mean to mention your sadness, but I heard that when your family incident happened, there were several branches
Your relatives have not been implicated. Now that you are alone in Kyoto, have you ever thought about contacting them?"
Qin Rushuang thought that Su Meiren would be happy after hearing this, but she didn't expect that her body froze, and there was no joy on her face. Instead, she quickly rejected Qin Rushuang's kindness, "No, they are all relatives who have not been in contact for many years, so there is nothing wrong with her."
Trouble others."
Qin Rushuang didn't doubt that he was there. She just thought she was bringing up the past and felt uncomfortable. After a few words of comfort, she left.
However, Qin Rushuang paid special attention to thanking Su Meiren properly.
Qingzhi walked with Qin Rushuang and passed by a bookstore.
Qin Rushuang thought that Su Mei was the most talented woman in Kyoto and she must like to be arty, recite poems and write poems, so she went into the bookstore to find some books to give to her.
It was a coincidence that as soon as Qin Rushuang walked into the bookstore, she heard the boss bragging to others.
It is said that he has a calligraphy in his hand, which was written by the most talented woman in Kyoto. Now, although the talented woman's family is poor, down-and-out beauties have always been the most sought after by scholars, so this calligraphy was also sold at a sky-high price by the boss.
Qin Rushuang heard this interestingly, so she went up and asked, "Why is the price so high?"
The boss boasted again.
As he talked, he even talked about the most talented woman in Kyoto. She has been smart since she was a child. Unlike others, she learned calligraphy at the age of one and picked up a pen at the age of three. Her beautiful calligraphy was actually written with her left hand.
Qin Rushuang was stunned when she heard this. She had never noticed whether the Sumei people used their left or right hands. But when she just saw the Sumei people using the stone mortar, they clearly used their right hand to grind.
"Boss, is what you are saying true or false?"
The boss was unhappy and led Qin Rushuang to get closer and take a closer look.
"Look, this talented woman Su is left-handed when she writes. Although her handwriting is beautiful, there are many details in her writing that are different from those written by others with their right hand. Look here, and here..."
The boss took Qin Rushuang and looked at it, and what he said was clear and logical. Qin Rushuang took a look and found that it was indeed slightly different from the words written by ordinary people with their right hands.
Qin Rushuang did not buy the painting in the end, but returned to the palace with doubts in her heart.
Later in the evening, the Sumerians also returned.
At the dinner table, Qin Rushuang suddenly said to Su Meiren: "Come to my room after dinner."
Su Meiren immediately put down her bowls and chopsticks and sat upright: "What orders does the princess have?"
"It's nothing. It's just that I'm feeling heavy now. I feel sore in my back after sitting for a long time. I want to write a letter home to my brother who is in the army. I haven't seen him for a long time, so I want to ask you to write it for me."
Su Meiren smiled and said, "I know, I will be here soon."
Xie Xun, who was on the side, had been busy with affairs in the court these days. He finally felt relaxed today. He wanted to spend the evening with Qin Rushuang, but when he heard Qin Rushuang called Su Meiren, he felt a little unhappy at the moment.
"I will write it for you. Or I can take you to see him in the military camp tomorrow."
Qin Rushuang glanced at him and said, "I just want Su Mei to take a look at my legs. Her hands and feet are so flexible that she can squeeze them comfortably. The prince's hands are too strong. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
Once he heard that Qin Rushuang was feeling unwell, Xie Xun didn't dig deeper.
However, Xie Xun still added, "If you are thinking about your brother, the king will go to the military camp tomorrow. You can go with me."
Qin Rushuang's thoughts moved.
Ever since she was reborn, she has been thinking about Mrs. Qin and her brother. She had been dealing with Mrs. Qin's affairs before, but her brother had been quietly in the army. It was time for her to go and see him.
