At this point, Yu Youyao couldn’t refuse anymore.

Qi Sinian had given her a painting. It was a beautiful scene of the lotus lake in the Jade Courtyard blooming. The entire painting was six feet long. It was a rare large painting.

Qi Sinian was not old, but his painting skills were really good. Not only was the painting gentle, but it also had the artistic conception of a lotus leaf field shining on the water and shrouded by leaves.

It would take at least two to three months to complete such a large painting.

It was obvious that she had spent a lot of effort.

The maidservant sent by Qi Sinian also said, “My young miss has been painting this painting since April. It was only completed a few days ago. It’s just a random painting. Eldest Miss Yu, you can just enjoy it!”

Tang Yunxi gave her a screen she had embroidered herself. It was a Parasol Tree in May. The leaves were green, and the flowers were bright.

Tang Yunxi’s embroidery skills were exquisite. The entire screen was elegant and pleasing to the eye. Even Nanny Xu couldn’t help but praise, “Fifth Miss Tang is a person with an inner beauty.”

It wasn’t easy to embroider a screen. She probably started embroidering in April.

Yu Youyao found it strange. “I only gave her some small gifts. Why does it seem like there’s an agenda? The gifts are each more grand than the last?”

Nanny Xu smiled. “Eldest Miss often gives them things, and she makes them herself. Since they’ve benefited from you, they have to put in more effort to show grat.i.tude of your friendship.”

Most aristocratic families interacted on the surface. If they wanted to befriend someone sincerely, they would carefully prepare gifts to interact with them.

Yu Youyao suddenly understood and accepted the gifts calmly.

At this moment, the people sent by the residence to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence returned.

It was said that Young Master Song had been in a coma for a day and a night and had yet to wake up. Yesterday, in the latter half of the night, he suddenly had a high fever. Imperial Physician Hu gave him acupuncture and medicine.

For some reason, his fever subsided and came back again. It did not seem to be getting better.

The Zhenguo Marquis Residence was also anxious. They had almost invited all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital who were free. The diagnosis of the imperial physicians was that Heir Song was over excited.

If there was really no other way, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence had to hire many physicians from far away.

However, Heir Song still did not wake up.

At this moment, the news that Song Mingzhao had an emergency had already spread.

There was no lack of discussion in the capital.

Old Madam Yu was really worried, so she asked Nanny Liu to personally go to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence to take a look at Song Mingzhao’s situation and send some expensive medicinal herbs and supplements.

Nanny Liu left for two hours. When she returned, her expression was solemn. “Heir Song’s condition isn’t too good. He said that he was over excited, but I think…”

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized that something was amiss. She shut her mouth tightly and hesitated.

Old Madam Yu tightened her grip on her handkerchief. “Hurry up and tell me what’s going on. There’s no one else in the house. If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Upon hearing this, Nanny Liu quickly leaned closer to Old Madam and lowered her voice. “I think Young Master Song seems to be possessed. He’s still unconscious, but he’s clutching his chest and asking ‘who are you’ non-stop. As he speaks, he vomits large mouthfuls of blood. It’s terrifying…

Old Madam Yu was shocked. “He even vomited blood? Are you serious?”

Nanny Liu nodded repeatedly. “I saw it with my own eyes. The Zhenguo

Marquis Residence probably didn’t expect Heir Song to suddenly vomit blood. They were also shocked. Old Madam Song was even more shocked and fainted on the spot.”

Old Madam Yu hurriedly closed her eyes. She twirled the prayer beads in her hand and muttered, “Amitabha, Amitabha…”

After muttering, she opened her eyes and quickly asked, “What did Imperial Physician Hu say?”

Nanny Liu replied, “Imperial Physician Hu gave Young Master Song ten pills

and said that his life is not in danger for the time being. However, if he doesn’t

wake up, it’s hard to say. From the looks of it, Young Master Song’s situation isn’t optimistic.”

Old Madam Yu also felt terrible. “He even used an emergency medicine to save his life!”

There was nothing else to say.

Nanny Liu continued, “I took the liberty to tell the Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife that there’s a Master Hui Tong in the Precious Peace Temple. He’s a pharmacist and Buddhist. His medical skills are very impressive.”

The situation at that time was too terrifying.

As an old woman who had lived for most of her life, she was also panicking from the bottom of her heart. Seeing that the Zhenguo Marquis Residence was in chaos, she thought that she had to help after making a trip to the temple.

Old Madam had been paying respects to Buddha all year round, so she knew more about the Precious Peace Temple than others. Although Master Hui Tong was not famous, she knew that he was proficient in medicine.

Old Madam Yu hurriedly said, “It doesn’t matter even if we say his name. If Heir

Song is really… we should indeed let the eminent monks of the Precious Peace Temple take a look. Even if he’s not possessed, Master Hui Tong is proficient in medicine and can help treat him.”

Nanny Liu heaved a sigh of relief. “I think so too.”

Old Madam Yu closed her eyes and kept twirling her prayer beads. “Amitabha…’

In the afternoon, the Yu Residence received news that the Marquis of Zhen’s wife had personally gone to the Precious Peace Temple and invited Master Hui Tong into the residence.

Master Hui Tong applied medicine for Song Mingzhao.

Song Mingzhao no longer vomited blood, but the nightmares continued. His fever came and went.

Master Hui Neng closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in Song Mingzhao’s room, chanting.

News of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence spread to the Yu Residence, and even the Yu Residence was solemn.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Yu Youyao.

In August, the lotus flowers in the lotus lake bloomed and fell. There were already many lotus pods in the lake. At noon, when the weather was the hottest, Yu Youyao took a book and rowed to the lake to rest in the depths of the lotus flowers. At the same time, she picked the lotus pods and asked the maidservants to peel the lotus pods and pick out the lotus seeds.

Although the lotus seeds were bitter, it was good to make it into lotus seed tea.

Autumn was hot and dry. Lotus Seed Tea was most suitable for old people like her grandmother.

Her cousin drank some every day to nourish his mind.

At this moment, Yin Huaixi, who Yu Youyao was worried about, was sitting leisurely in the tent, holding a red silk stone that was larger than the palm of an adult man and carving it.

Eunuch Zhu sighed when he saw this. This red silk stone was completely blood-red, like chicken blood. It was bright and ancient.

It came from the red silk stone cave of the Black Mountain in Qingzhou, Shandong.

In the past, even the red silk stones that were offered to the emperor were not of such good quality.

As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but praise, “The Red Silk Inkstone of Qingzhou is famous for being the top of all inkstones. It’s even better than Duan Yan’s inkstone. This red silk stone has been exquisitely made by the heir. It’s really complicated and beautiful.”

Liu Gongquan of the Tang Dynasty said in the Inkstone Theory, “Qingzhou is the first place for inkstones, followed by Jiangzhou, Haiduan and Shexian!”

In later generations, there were also many literary critics that said that the red silk instone is the best of inkstones..
