Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 50 Gift Giving

Song Qinghua just thought she was being polite to him, and took out a purse embroidered with green bamboo from her arms. The stitches were dense, and she looked at it carefully.

She handed the purse to Song Jinyue and then explained: "This is something I made newly. It contains some soothing herbs. I hope Sister Yue won't dislike it."

"Sister Hua is very thoughtful, I like it very much." Song Jinyue took the purse and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it. The fragrance of herbal medicine immediately made people feel refreshed.

Zhang Dingzhi looked a little nervous, but it was difficult to explain clearly because of Song Qinghua's presence.

"Sister Yue, just rest for now. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."

Song Qinghua naturally noticed something strange about Zhang Dingzhi, so she stood up to leave. Song Jinyue called Nanny Yuan in and asked her to personally escort Song Qinghua out of Mingzhuxuan.

After the door inside the house was closed again, Song Jinyue handed the two things that Song Qinghua had just given to Cousin Zhi.

She understood Cousin Zhi's worry that others might tamper with the things given to her.

"Cousin, you must be on guard against others." Zhang Dingzhi put the two things in his arms without any politeness, "I will send them back to you personally after I find someone to take a look at them and see if there is nothing unusual."

She must not be careless about anything about her cousin.

"I think my cousin seems to be a good person." Song Jinyue murmured.

But after she finished speaking, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She seemed to have always been inaccurate in judging her character. Now that she finished speaking, she had some doubts about her own decision.

I just gave the things to Cousin Zhi to look at, so I guess it won't be a big deal.

After lunch, Song Jinyue's body gradually warmed up, and Zhang Dingzhi left the Duke's Mansion.

Qiu Yun was the only one left in the room to accompany her.

"Where is Miss Qin?" Song Jinyue asked after remembering that she had not seen Qin Wan since she had been ill for the past two days.

Qiu Yun replied: "Miss Qin has also been worried about Miss Zhi these past two days, but because Miss Zhi is with you, she didn't come to disturb you and just stayed in the house."

"Go and tell Miss Qin. I will send someone to take her to meet Mr. Qin later." Song Jinyue remembered her previous promise to Qin Wan. Now that she is sick, she will have to wait a long time to recover.

some time.

He simply asked the coachman from the Duke's Mansion to come for a ride.

He also asked Qiu Yun to send some money over and tell Qin Wan that if Mr. Qin has any difficulties, just tell her directly and there is no need to be polite to her.

After receiving the letter, Qin Wan came to Song Jinyue in person and knelt down to thank her for her great kindness.

Song Jinyue had no choice but to urge her to go early and come back early.

He asked Qiu Yun to send Qin Wan out of the house again, but when Qiu Yun came back, she looked a little nervous. Song Jinyue couldn't help but frown and asked, "But what happened?"

Qiu Yun closed the door, then took out a letter from her arms and delivered it to her young lady, "A letter from Mr. Ping."

Song Jinyue hurriedly asked Qiu Yun to help her up and opened the sealed letter.

Qiu Yun took a fox fur cloak and put it on the young lady's shoulders.

This letter was delivered at great speed. Xiang Shu had not yet arrived in Dingzhou, so the letter she wrote had not yet reached cousin Ping.

In the letter, Cousin Ping made it clear that the Qin brothers and sisters lost their father and mother when they were young, and there was nothing unusual about it.

He also said that the two brothers and sisters grew up in a remote village in Dingzhou, but they didn’t know anyone outside, let alone Mr. Xiang, the governor of Dingzhou.

He also said that Lord Xiang of Dingzhou Prefecture was a good official who was loved by the people. He was a rare honest and good official who served the people.

When Song Jinyue saw this, her expression paused, and the letter in her hand fell onto the soft quilt.

A pair of eyes were dim and unclear.

All this was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for the moment. She picked up the letter on the quilt, folded it, and called Qiu Yun, asking her to throw the letter into the charcoal basin.

Seeing the letter turn into a ball of flames and turn into ashes little by little, Song Jinyue felt relieved.

"Qiu Yun, ask your cousin again and see if there is anything strange about Dr. Xu's house these past few days."

Now she only regrets that her body is still too weak and she cannot enter the palace immediately.

Fortunately, today she has clearly noticed that her body is becoming lighter and lighter, not as heavy and dull as before.

Watching Qiu Yun leave, Song Jinyue slowly lay down and let herself rest more so that her body could recover quickly.

Aunt Yuan specially came to ask what she wanted to eat in the evening. Song Jinyue specially asked the kitchen to make some chicken soup for her. She had not eaten anything meaty in the past few days, and now she finally had an appetite.

Perhaps because she wanted to enter the palace, she had more appetite.

When Qiu Yun returned home, dinner had just been prepared in the small kitchen and was being served.

Qiu Yun shook her head, indicating to her that there was nothing unusual in Imperial Physician Xu's residence, and Zhang Dingzhi came to the Duke's residence a little later.

Not only did he bring the two things that Song Qinghua gave him earlier, but he also brought two pieces of century-old ginseng.

Zhang Dingzhi handed the ginseng to Aunt Yuan and said, "Mom, stew this ginseng with chicken soup and serve it to my cousin in the evening."

"Yes." Grandma Yuan took the ginseng down.

Then she sat down to eat supper with her cousin.

"When my mother asked about your current situation, I told her that you were well. She also said that she would take you to stay for two days after you fully recovered. My grandmother has been chanting sutras and praying to the Buddha to bless you these past few days."

Zhang Dingzhi said nonchalantly.

Song Jinyue listened with a smile.

After finishing eating, the two of them sat together at the desk again. On the table were pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Song Jinyue held her cheek in one hand and looked at Cousin Zhi.

Zhang Dingzhi was standing next to the writing desk, picking up a wolf hair and drawing on the rice paper.

Not long after, a misty and rainy landscape painting appeared in front of you, which gave people the illusion of being there.

"Cousin Zhi's painting skills are getting more and more superb." Song Jinyue praised her without hesitation.

Zhang Dingzhi put down the wolf hair, took a look at the painting he had just made, and said with emotion: "I have seen this landscape before. I really hope that one day I can take my cousin to see it too."

"This is where?"

"A few years ago, I went to Dingzhou to visit my father and brother. When I arrived ten miles outside Jiangzhou City, I saw this landscape. It was just after the rain and when it was foggy, it was very spectacular."

Zhang Dingzhi's expression was filled with some beautiful memories unconsciously.

Jiangzhou is not like the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it like the north, but it has three seasons of spring in a year. It is really a good place.

Song Jinyue listened with great longing and thought to herself that when she fulfilled her long-cherished wish in this life, she would definitely go and have a look.

She had never said these words to Cousin Zhi.

Grandma Yuan brought the ginseng chicken soup and Song Jinyue took a few bites. Perhaps because she had eaten more for dinner, she didn't have much appetite to eat it.

He simply asked Nanny Yuan to keep the chicken soup warm and drink it tomorrow morning.

At night, Zhang Dingzhi slept with her.

However, on the early morning of the second day, Zhang's family came to deliver a message, asking Cousin Zhi to return home. They both had speculations in their minds, fearing that there was something important, otherwise their grandmother would not send someone to call Cousin Zhi back.
