Chapter 148
"Are you sure it's Young Master Qiao? The mount doesn't match!" Bei Qiao was about to speak when another person ran over from the side of the road, grabbed the arm of the previous person and was about to leave.
"Of course I'm sure. I'm much better at recognizing horses than people. This chestnut horse is the same one from before, there's no doubt about it!" the man answered firmly.
Young Master Qiao Yu Qian raised an eyebrow at Bei Qiao: You are worthy of being the great man whom I want to make friends with at first sight, even he becomes Young Master when he is outside... Hey, wait, why is it Young Master? Is there something wrong with his eyes?
There's nothing wrong with it, I just wore a vest when I was out and about... Bei Qiao gave Yu Qian a calm look, fooling the two unidentified people in front of her away. She had no intention of wearing a vest when she wasn't wearing a mask.
Bei Qiao: Although the identity of Cousin Qiao has been confirmed, I still prefer to use my own identity. Unless necessary, I don't use the same face for different accounts.
"Okay, we're here. Where do you plan to get off?" Bei Qiao stopped the carriage on the side of the road.
"Of course we have to go to the inn first!" Yu Qian stretched herself and listened to the crackling sounds of her joints with a sad face: "We are finally here. My whole body aches, even my butt hurts..." She repeated, the feeling of rushing is so annoying!
Bei Qiao dropped Yu Qian off at the inn entrance and drove straight to the courtyard behind the Qin residence. The note Qin Huan had sent by pigeon only said, "Borrowing the courtyard for a bit," but didn't specify what it was for. She was a little curious. She also wanted to know how the pigeon had found her.
On the way to the courtyard, Bei Qiao took out his mask and put it on on a whim. When he drove to the gate of the courtyard, he happened to see the Qin family servant standing outside the gate guarding it.
"Young Master Qiao!" Seeing Bei Qiao's carriage approaching, the servants bowed in unison.
"Yeah." Bei Qiao jumped out of the car with Dudu in his arms, expressionless. "What's going on? I'm a little uncomfortable."
Boom! A loud noise suddenly rang out from the yard. Bei Qiao, who was walking in, subconsciously stopped and quickly glanced at the expressions of the people around him: the servants were not nervous or surprised, and the passers-by only complained a few words after being startled and walked away. This showed that similar things had happened many times. Not only were they aware of it, but they had also become accustomed to it... So what on earth had Qin Huan been doing in the yard these days?
With this doubt, Bei Qiao held Dudu in his arms and walked into the courtyard while pulling the carriage.
Perhaps it was because it smelled the lingering scent of its owner in the yard, the little black dog Dudu did not react. Instead, it jumped out of Beiqiao's arms curiously and walked around in the unfamiliar yard, wagging its tail.
"Do you want to run for a bit? This is our home too." Bei Qiao squatted down and patted Dudu's head.
"Woof!" Dudu responded loudly.
"Don't stay too far away from me." The Qin family's servants appeared at the door, and there might be Qin family members in the yard. We can't let them mistake Dudu for a stray dog and drive him away.
"Woof woof!" Dudu nodded and ran away happily wagging his tail.
Bei Qiao didn't let go of the reins, and the servants weren't overly attentive, simply welcoming Bei Qiao in and then returning outside. Hong Hong pulled the carriage behind Bei Qiao, looking around as she walked: "Why does this courtyard look so grand and yet so miserable? It's so strange..."
"You're back...cousin!" Qin Huan, who came over after hearing the voice, changed his address on the spot after seeing the mask on Bei Qiao's face.
"Huanhuan, what are you doing?" Bei Qiao took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qin Huan: Why do you make yourself look like you just crawled out of a mine?
"Nothing, just a little experiment. I'm not allowed to do it at home, so I have to do it here with you." Qin Huan was not polite and took the handkerchief and started wiping it vigorously: "Do you want to sleep here? The yard is already tidy and can be lived in." For her, tidying up the yard is not a big deal, just move her mouth.
"OK."
"I knew you were different...what did you just say?" Qin Huan paused.
"I said, okay, it's OK." Bei Qiao smiled under the mask.
"You, um...Okay, then I'll give you my orders." Qin Huan was almost unable to react to the sudden and different response he received. Of course, it was only almost. He threw the soiled handkerchief to the servant to clean, then took a wet towel from the maid beside him and continued to wipe his face. "Do you have any preferences or requests?"
"No incense, other things are not important, comfort is enough. Oh, and my carriage." Bei Qiao is not picky when traveling. Anyway, whether it is eating or sleeping, she will solve it offline.
Bei Qiao: Actually, the most important reason is that I don’t know what to be picky about. The world of rich people is very far away from me. I have never seen it, so how can I know what I will like?
"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements." Qin Huan nodded. "Don't burn incense because you're afraid someone will poison it, right?" Sure enough, he was still as cautious as ever. It seemed that this cousin in front of him was not a fake.
Since Qin Huan could walk here, the stables in the yard were not renovated, leaving only bare ground. However, there were many empty rooms in the yard, and one could be vacated for Hong Hong.
After arranging the carriage, Qin Huan had Bei Qiao's room decorated. Due to Qin Huan's bad taste, the room was decorated very garishly. When Bei Qiao walked in with her luggage, she couldn't help but raise her arm to shield her eyes: "Has this crammed all the colors in the world into one?" There was an inexplicable magical beauty, but it was so loud that it hurt her eyes.
Dudu followed his owner into the house and said: "Woof" This room looks so strange.
"How is it, cousin, how are my arrangements?" Qin Huan leaned against the door frame after tidying up his appearance, with an intention of watching the fun: "These are all given by others. I have never used them. Although they are not very good-looking, the materials and workmanship are very good. Others can't get them even if they want." They are all exquisite and ugly things sent by a group of fake friends. I don't want to use them after seeing them, and it's a waste to throw them away. I couldn't think of how to deal with them before, but now they come in handy.
Qin Huan: I didn’t expect that piling these things together would hurt the eyes even more. My neck feels a little uncomfortable when I twist my head.
"Not bad, thank you for your hard work." Bei Qiao raised his hand and pressed the bed: Although the pattern is hurtful to the eyes, the feel is really good.
"Ah? Don't you think it's ugly?"
"It doesn't matter. I won't sleep with my eyes open anyway." Sleeping offline will not cause insomnia. As long as the offline environment is quiet and safe, the color is not that important.
Qin Huan suddenly realized: "That's right. After all, she's Cousin Qiao. Even pretending to be a man can be easily handled. It's just some eye-catching things. It's not difficult for her at all." But...
"Then I'll be leaving first. You should have a good rest. If you need to go out at night, remember to walk slowly at the door so that the servants can see you and remember to leave the door open for you." Qin Huan covered his eyes with one hand, turned around and left after saying this. Bei Qiao could stay, but she couldn't. She felt that if she stayed like this, she would go blind. "The courtyard I chose is next door. If you have any problems, you can ask the maids to call me. They will recognize you."
Qin Huan borrowed a yard from Beiqiao as a backup. In exchange, he assigned a few people to Beiqiao to look after the yard and occasionally clean it.
"Miss, she..."
"Oh, Huanhuan, what are you doing sneaking around all day long?" Speak of the devil and he will appear. Just when Qin Huan was about to go back to the house to continue tinkering with the things she had done before, someone she classified as a fake friend came to her door.
"Call me by my full name." Qin Huan frowned and looked at her maid who was chasing after her: How did this person get in? Didn't we say that no one can be let in? This is not the Qin family.
"No need to look at her, I climbed over the wall." Fake friend Fang Lang smiled.
Qin Huan: "...You are still very proud, right?"
"Ah? Are you angry? Are you angry?"
Qin Huan: "...cousin!"
Bei Qiao, who listened to the whole process in the room: "..." Oh, such aggrieved tone, the person who came seems to be a troublesome person.
"I'm coming." After thinking about it, Bei Qiao finally responded and came out. Apart from anything else, he couldn't let this uninvited guest keep causing trouble in his yard.
"Cousin, she... um..." Qin Huan pointed at Fang Lang standing across from him and was about to say something when Bei Qiao came out and, without a word, lifted Fang Lang up with two fingers and rushed her out with a light skill. The movement was so smooth that Qin Huan was stunned: So clean and neat? He didn't even give her time to argue. Well done!
On the other side, seeing a slender and handsome "man" walk out of the house, Fang Lang wanted to say something to save her image, but was unexpectedly picked up on the spot by the man. When she came to her senses, she had been escorted out the door and was standing on the street at the door.
Fang Lang: “…”
Fang Lang: “…”
Fang Lang: "No, hey, how can that be possible!"
"Cousin, you... hey, where did this puppy come from? It looks so impressive!" Qin Huan had only been learning martial arts for a short time, and her Qinggong wasn't very good. By the time her maid led her to the door, Fang Lang had already been put outside by Bei Qiao. Dudu, who didn't know Qinggong and had no one to guide him, ran to the door on his own. Somehow, he pulled a puppy out from under the stone pedestal outside the door.
"Don't hold it yet, be careful of bugs." Bei Qiao stopped Qin Huan's hand, pinched the back of the puppy's neck and picked it up: "Give it a bath first and get rid of the bugs." How could he hold such a dirty ball of fur?
"Okay." Qin Huanren listened to the advice and said, "Cousin, do you know who was thrown out just now?"
"She's a thief who climbed over someone else's wall without permission. Do you recognize her?" Bei Qiao smiled: It doesn't matter who she is. What matters is that this is my yard and I didn't allow her to come in.
"Ah, that's not important. Cousin, you can give the puppy to the servants to wash. They are very skilled. Let them recognize the dog by the way." Qin Huan understood: Ignorance is not a crime, right? I understand!
Dudu, who was taken away by the maids of Qin Mansion to take a fragrant flower petal bath, said: A-choo! What happened? Why did you take a bath suddenly?
