Chapter 184 Burning down the ancestral hall
"By the way, Master, those people have been sent to the government office by my father and brother."
Ling'er said as she folded the quilt.
Qu Jingyao sat in front of the dressing table very calmly, with a sarcastic sneer on the corner of her lips.
Ling'er made the bed, turned around, smiled, walked behind her master, and took the wooden comb from her hand.
"I am here to help my master comb his hair."
Ling'er was clever and deft, and she quickly tied her long black hair into a beautiful flowing bun. Qu Jingyao handed Ling'er her mother's jade hairpin on the table.
"Just use this."
Ling'er nodded obediently. She also found that her master liked simple and elegant things.
"Okay, Master, take a look. Do you like it?"
Qu Jingyao looked at herself in the bronze mirror, curved her eyebrows and smiled slightly, then nodded slightly.
"Ling'er, go and bring breakfast to the room."
"Okay, Master, wait a moment."
Ling'er quickly left the room carrying the copper basin.
Looking at the closed door, Qu Jingyao called out to the little mice by the window.
"I've noticed you guys a long time ago. Now that you've finished your work, go back to the space."
Before returning to the space, those chirping birds reported their battle achievements. Qu Jingyao didn't expect that they even burned down other people's ancestral halls.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she quickly sent them back into space.
"Master, it's time to eat."
Ling'er came in with breakfast, and she slowly moved to the table and sat down.
"Come with me for a walk outside later."
"Well, I'll go and tell them to prepare the carriage." After saying that, Ling'er bowed and left the room.
Qu Jingyao simply drank a bowl of porridge and stopped eating.
She looked up and saw Xiaohuo had only eaten a little with disdain, so she stopped touching the meat on the plate and smiled.
"Okay, I'll take you to eat something good later."
She told Xiaohuo to clean his claws with disgust, otherwise he would not be able to lie on her shoulder.
When Ling'er came in, she saw Xiaohuo rubbing a handkerchief with his paws on the table.
"Puff, what's wrong with Master Xiaohuo?"
Qu Jingyao glanced at the idiot who was struggling with the handkerchief: "It! It needs to wipe its paws."
Ling'er came forward in surprise and muttered in disbelief, "This little fire is so smart that it even knows to wipe the food clean after eating."
"Xiaohuo, let me help you?" Ling'er asked tentatively, moving closer little by little. Xiaohuo tilted his head and looked at her obediently.
Qu Jingyao told Ling'er to wipe its mouth clean as it was full of oil.
Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled lightly and nodded.
Xiaohuo had to cooperate obediently due to his master's orders, otherwise he would not be able to eat delicious food today.
Ling'er quickly handled it and came to her master carrying Xiaohuo.
"Just let Ling'er hold you." Qu Jingyao glanced at Xiaohuo who was eager to try, and said with a half-curled smile on her lips.
Xiaohuo's stunned look made the master and servant smile.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Fortunately, there was another door on the side of the shop, which did not cause any inconvenience caused by the repairs in front.
Standing next to the carriage outside was Ling'er's elder brother Qinglin.
"This slave has met his master."
"Well, get up."
Ling'er put Xiaohuo into the carriage first. She lifted the curtain and helped her master get into the carriage.
"Master, there are a lot of people on the streets these past two days. It's almost the Qiqiao Festival."
Qu Jingyao's eyes flickered. Isn't this Qiqiao Festival the Qixi Festival in the previous life?
Since she came to ancient times, apart from going to temple fairs with her mother, she has never encountered any other festivals. She wants to see what the Qiqiao Festival was like in ancient times.
Thinking of this, she curled up the corners of her lips and smiled sweetly, and Ling'er beside her was stunned for a moment.
"Master, you are so beautiful!" Ling'er couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't hear Ling'er's words clearly. She just saw the girl staring at her stupidly.
"Is there something wrong with my face?"
Reiki reacted and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, the master is very beautiful!"
She shook her head helplessly and laughed.
Qu Jingyao saw a cloth spinning shop and asked Qinglin outside to stop the carriage so that she could go and take a look.
"Whoa!" Qinglin grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage in front of the shop.
Ling'er quickly jumped off the carriage and helped the master behind her down.
A faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafted by, and Qu Jingyao's veil was blown up by the breeze. Passersby around her exclaimed, wondering when such a stunning beauty appeared in the city of Bianliang.
Everyone was guessing whose daughter this was.
"There's no sign on this carriage. I wonder whose daughter this is."
Some people recognized that this was the Miss Qu who became famous in the gambling stone shop yesterday.
"Qu? When did a family with the surname Qu appear in our Bianliang City?"
"Could this girl be the wife of some prince or minister?"
Ling'er followed her master into Jinxiufang, the largest shop in Bianliang City.
The shopkeeper inside saw the person coming and immediately came forward to greet him.
"What does this lady need to write? Please come in!"
Qu Jingyao looked at the pretty female shopkeeper with sparkling eyes and nodded.
"I'd like to see some fabrics. Could the shopkeeper introduce some to me?"
"Of course, please come in, miss. We've just got some new material."
The shopkeeper led Qu Jingyao and his servant to the counter inside.
She called the guy behind her to bring some of the latest fabrics.
This is the flowing silk brocade that I got with great difficulty, and this is the first time I take it out today.
She looked at the young lady in front of her with extraordinary temperament, and thought that ordinary vulgar things would not be of her interest.
As expected, when this young lady entered the shop, she didn't even glance at the ordinary silk cloth and brocade in front of her. Only then did she ask the clerk to take out these pieces.
"Look at this, young lady. This is the latest flowing silk brocade, very rare."
Ling Er couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when she saw this: "Master, this flowing brocade is so beautiful! It suits you perfectly."
Qu Jingyao raised the corners of her lips, smiled faintly and nodded.
"I want this moon white and light green one."
"Oh, good lady, you have good taste."
As Qu Jing Yaoyao was speaking, just when she wanted to take a look at other fabrics, a cold voice came from outside.
"Shopkeeper Xiao, I heard that Jinxiufang has received a new batch of materials. Bring them over to me for a look."
The voice arrived before the person arrived. A glint of disgust flashed across Shopkeeper Xiao's eyes, and then he put on an apologetic face and nodded towards Qu Jingyao, saying, "Miss, you choose first. I'll have the waiter pick up these two for you."
She turned and walked to the woman who had just walked in.
"Miss Zhao is here. What would you like to see today? I'll have my staff get it for you."
Qu Jingyao glanced at the woman who came in. She was wearing a light green silk brocade dress and her hair was covered with gilded hair ornaments. However, her pretty face was ruined by a sense of arrogance.
"I heard that you have a batch of new materials?"
"Why don't you bring it to my young lady to see? If she likes it, you will definitely get benefits." The maid beside her raised her eyebrows and said proudly.
