He Yue slowly picked up the spoon, glanced at the porridge in the bowl, and put it down again. She had just drunk half a bowl of brown sugar water, and the pain in her abdomen had not eased. I didn't know how ugly my face was after listening to Zheng Ergou's words.

"Eat some. Qiao Xin, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile. Seeing that He Yue's face was not good, she picked up the bowl and muttered, "My brother doesn't know what to say to you, it must be something you don't like to hear... He's just a nerd and doesn't care what he says. Come, do you want my sister to feed you?"

"It's fine. He Yue hurriedly waved his hand, suddenly smiled softly, and took a few sips of the porridge spoon. After being silent for a while, she saw Qiao Xin sitting next to her, still doing needlework in her hands, and suddenly felt a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Xin did the work in his hand seriously, and said warmly. "Joe. Sister Qiao, did I faint before?"

Qiao Xin put down the clothes in his hand that were almost finished, "No, you just fell asleep, you should be very tired, and others can't wake you up... The second brother sent you to your room, and I happened to be nearby, so I came to take care of you. ”

"That's right—" He Yue nodded slightly. Qiao Xin got up from the bed, patted the quilt and said, "Come, let me see." ”

"Look... What are you looking at?" He Yue suddenly blushed, wouldn't she know?

"What's so shy about this. Qiao Xin shook his head and smiled, "If it's your first time, let my sister teach you how to use this." Out of nowhere, she took out a strangely shaped piece of cloth and waved it in front of Heyue's eyes.

"It's... What is this thing?"

"In the future, when you have menstruation every month, use this ......cloth like I taught you" Qiao Xin lifted the corner of the quilt, pressed the calf exposed under Heyue's skirt, found it very cold, and gently lifted the skirt with his other hand. She told He Yue in detail how to use this "moon cloth", "In this way, it's fine." I'll help you get a clean dress, you can rest here today, my sister has been here with you. ”

As soon as Qiao Xin left, the blush on He Yue's face finally receded. When she was a peasant girl, she didn't have the moon cloth she just said, at most she just took a lime bag to pad it. She had never seen or even heard of this kind of moon cloth that was tied around her waist, and the material was so exquisite. The gap between commoners and families may be reflected in these small things.

However, since the menstrual affair came for the first time, she knew that she was really a big girl now.

He Yue sighed, thinking back to everything yesterday and Zheng Ergou's words just now, it seems that the people around him have always regarded themselves as big girls. The so-called master is also like this. actually hopes that he is such an ordinary girl to inherit his mantle.

It was only from her father and former adoptive mother that she could feel that she was still a child. However, to become a member of a real aristocratic family and win the love of his stepfather and mother as well as the Dutch house, all this requires the maturity of a real eldest lady. And weren't all of these what she wanted from the time He Zhe took her away in the Falling Wind Valley?

When she was in a lot of mood, she found that the relics of the five-colored mending stone that could communicate with her were placed next to the bedside, quietly exuding wisps of luster. What about my mother, why did the mother who gave birth to me abandon herself, and what is the relationship between her and the "Dream Clan" who is still confused in Heyue's impression?

She seemed to see a woman, whispered sorry in her ear, and then put the whole swaddling clothes on the quiet lotus pond in the summer night, and left silently, not knowing where to go, and this picture became clearer and clearer, closer and closer to her eyes, and seemed to have become a real past.

At this moment, her eyes were shining, and He Yue grabbed a stone in her hand and put it on her chest, which was the remnant of the Heaven Mending Stone. It seems that he has also created a dream like Zheng Ergou. Between the mending stone and the hands she touched, blue light emanated, and there seemed to be a heart inside the stone, and the sound of a gentle beating became louder and calmer......

But her cultivation and the restrictions of the outside world did not let her unintentional exploration go too far this time after all. She saw a stone suddenly fall out of the swaddling clothes, slowly roll down, and finally fall into the water of the lotus pond. But like thunder, the jade mirror shattered, and deep tiredness spread throughout the body. He Yue fell asleep again.

At the same time, the five-colored mending stone seed also fell from her chest, rolling unmistakably to its original position at the head of the bed.

"Ahem..."

Immediately, a pair of warm and delicate hands handed over a cup of hot water, and at the same time touched her head. Cold.

Qiao Xin's anxious voice sounded, "Sister Heyue, are you comfortable?"

Qiao Xin stroked her face twice, "Your body is really a little weak... Sister should have found you a Lang Zhong to take a look at earlier, after all, it's the first time... I'll go now!"

Qiao Xin muttered, and as she spoke, she was about to go out again. He Yue quickly reached out and grabbed her. She knew very well that her body had gone through a month of cultivation in the dream realm, and had quickly reached the self-cultivation realm of the third layer of Qi Condensation. It is not difficult to transform the self-cultivation realm into the true realm. Her body is not particularly susceptible to any diseases. The reason for this is just what happened all day from yesterday to today.

Knowing so many things, coupled with the fact that the dream was tossing back and forth, exhausted her physical strength, and the arrival of the menstrual period made her body even more uncomfortable. finally persuaded Qiao Xin that she was fine, but she said that she didn't want to go out anymore, and wanted to watch He Yue here.

Then the room fell silent again. But Heyue was sleepy. His eyes were on the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, Qiao Xin, who was sitting on the side bored, slowly hummed a little tune, while fiddling with the needle and thread in his hand, looking quite leisurely. He Yue heard Qiao Xin's voice, her voice was still a little immature when she sang, but what she was humming was a folk song in the countryside in the north of Qinshan Country, which sounded quite meaningful. He Yue listened, and even he could hum two sentences himself.

After all, five or six years ago, the Qiao family was just like her, they were ordinary people. The songs passed on by word of mouth among the little people are known to everyone.

"That's good..."He Yue said with a smile, Qiao Xin turned her head a little embarrassed, saw her sitting on the bed and said to herself, "Sister still thought you were asleep..."

"I can't sleep, but my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. I want to get out of bed and walk. He Yue said seriously.

Qiao Xin hurriedly shook her head, "Your face is really not good-looking, listen to my sister's words and rest for a while." ”

"Sister Qiao, if you think that Qiao Xuebin's son will blame you, borrow me your rouge and put it on your face, won't it be white? Didn't you say it, he is a nerd, even if he sees it, he will definitely not be able to see that this is rouge at all. He Yue said in a coquettish tone, "Please, it's so boring to lie in bed." ”

Indeed, the more you lie down and think about it, the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable your body becomes.

"It's... Is it really okay with your body? Normally, when you have a period, you don't react so much. If you are weak, you need to rest more. Qiao Xin's eyes lit up after hearing her words, but she said worriedly.

"It's absolutely fine, I think it would be more comfortable to walk more. Seeing her hesitantly, He Yue nodded hesitantly, put aside all her worries, and happily lifted the quilt and got out of bed. "Oh, this skirt was given to you by my sister, it's similar to your previous style, and I asked my maid to clean it, so you can rest assured that no one will know!

He Yue looked at the pure blue skirt on her lower body, she didn't expect that she slept so deadly, Qiao Xin actually changed her skirt! She nodded and tidied up her dress, and asked a little puzzled, "Ah? Then I slept for a long time, how do I feel that I have only slept for a short time..."

"Who can say how long they have been asleep. It's afternoon. My house is not far from here, go and wipe some rouge. Qiao Xin was a little taller than He Yue, she smiled and patted He Yue's shoulder, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"This.." Qiao Xin glanced at He Yue, who had arranged her dress, a little anxiously, and muttered in a low voice, "It may be the second brother, you lie back first." ”

"It's not Qiao Xuebin's son, sister, don't worry. He's a scholar, and he's never knocked so heavily on the door. Closing the door is also light-hearted, and my brother is just like him. He Yue said with a smile, walked in front of Qiao Xin, and opened the door directly.

"Miss Wo Yue. You... Are you feeling well?"

The person who came was Qiao Liangyan, the acting head of the family at this time. Due to the serious illness of the old man Qiao Shifan and was brought back to the capital by the prince's imperial doctor, Qiao Liangyan's parents all went out at this time, either to buy goods or to carry out the tasks sent by the prince. This generation of Qiao Liangyan is proficient in the world, so he temporarily acted as the patriarch.

"Much better, Sister Qiao Xin and I are getting ready to go out for a walk. When He Yue saw Qiao Liangyan, she was not nervous at all, and said decently. And Qiao Xin also relaxed, after all, Qiao Xuebin and Qiao Liangyan left a very different impression on her. Qiao Liangyan is not so rigid.

"Your face... It's good to go out for a walk. The relics of the Heaven Mending Stone are always with you, which is good for qi, blood and spirit. Qiao Liangyan walked into the room, held the square stone beside the bedside with both hands, He Yue took it, put it in his belly pocket, and nodded.

"I'm really embarrassed, I heard the fifth sister say early in the morning that Miss He is not feeling well, but there are really two major events in the past two days, piled together, and I, the acting head of the family, can't handle it, so I delayed the time to come to see you. Qiao Liangyan closed the door as he spoke.

"Fourth brother, is there something wrong?" Qiao Xin asked a little strangely when he saw this.

"A big thing about our Qiao family, a big thing about Miss He's house. Listen to me before you go out. Qiao Liangyan walked to Qiao Xin's side, took her shoulders and walked to the table, and gestured to He Yue, "You guys sit down." ”

"Again, what's the matter?" Qiao Xin said puzzled. In the morning, too, after Qiao Xuebin talked to He Yue, her expression immediately withered for a long time. This girl looked at her eyebrows and eyes, she liked it very much, so she wanted to protect her.

"About your uncle and aunt, you and the third brother's parents. He leaned against the door and said to Qiao Xin.

"There is also a new statement about the Hefu, Miss He, your cousin, the imperial court has a new statement. Qiao Liangyan turned his head and said to He Yue, who was sitting on the bed.

Seeing the fifth sister's surprised expression, he smiled and said, "Qiao Xin, the letter from my uncle and aunt has arrived." It was brought back by a messenger seabird. Didn't they go to the East China Sea islands to exchange important trade with the locals? The letter said that they had found what they needed and that they had already left for home on the day of writing. When the letter was received, it was half a month ago. I asked Uncle Li Guo to calculate the direction of the wind, and they came back just in a tailwind, probably in the next two days. ”

"We, Qiao's Mansion, are going to hold a grand banquet for them! However, no one in the Guest Mansion this time will be able to guess who there is! Because, at the same time, in the next week or so, we will also receive several senior ministers from the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and it is here, Qiao's Mansion!"

He set his eyes on Heyue, who was sitting on the bed.
