Chapter 110 Another one fell
Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of departure, Jiang Yueyao rode in a carriage while Lu Sui rode on horseback.
Yulong Mountain is more than 200 miles away from the capital, and it took more than three days to get there.
This is the royal summer resort, located at the foot of Yulong Mountain. It is built in the style of an imperial palace. Although it is not as large as a palace, it is large and spacious enough for a summer resort.
Each accompanying official was assigned his own courtyard, the size of which was determined by the rank of the official. Lu Sui was a first-rank tutor, and his courtyard had two entrances and two exits, with many rooms. Jiang Yueyao walked around inside, and found that it had already been cleaned by the servants sent in advance by the tutor's mansion.
Her room was right next to Lu Sui's, just a few steps away.
After packing up her things, Jiang Yueyao went next door.
Lu Sui sat on the couch by the window, with freshly brewed tea on the small table beside him. Seeing Jiang Yueyao come in, he asked, "Is everything packed?"
Jiang Yueyao nodded.
She sat across from him and looked around his house curiously.
It was about the same size as her room, but was divided into two parts. One side was separated by a large screen, and the other side was divided into a study.
Qingshu brought in some freshly cut watermelon.
Seeing Jiang Yueyao, he smiled and said, "It's just been taken out of the well, it's still cool, come and try it, young lady."
Jiang Yueyao took a piece and took a light bite.
"Hmm...it's indeed sweeter than the watermelons in the city."
Seeing that Lu Sui didn't move, she urged him, "Sir, try it too."
"Miss, you don't know, the master has a bad stomach, and the imperial physician has specifically advised him to stay away from cold foods. The master never eats these fruits." Qingshu explained hurriedly.
Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Sui.
"I've only heard that people who don't eat enough will suffer from stomach problems. Your Excellency is of noble birth, so why do you also have this problem?"
Lu Sui poured himself a cup of tea and looked up at her when he heard her say, "It's a problem I've had since I was a kid."
"It's been so many years?" Jiang Yueyao was a little worried. "Is there nothing Qing Yi can do?"
In Jiang Yueyao's eyes, Qing Yi's medical skills are already very impressive.
But you can’t even cure a minor stomach ailment?
"It's not a serious problem, don't worry." Lu Sui took a sip of tea, "I'm going to the emperor in a while, you go out and let Xiaoxi follow, don't run too far, there will be a dinner party in the evening, I may accompany the emperor, you can go to find Shen Baoqing then."
"Yeah." Jiang Yueyao nodded obediently, "Then remember to pick me up when you're done."
"You don't have legs yourself? You can't come back?"
"Oh, sir, it's so dark out here in the wilderness. If I get carried away by a wolf, where will you find me?"
The look in Lu Sui's eyes when he looked at her was indescribable.
Qingshu at the side couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss, you're overthinking it. There's a guard every three steps and a sentry every two steps. Unless you sneak up the mountain, it's hard for you to get lost in this place."
Jiang Yueyao glared at him unhappily.
"Qingshu, you talk too much."
“…”
Qingshu felt that these words sounded very familiar.
After a moment's thought, oh yes, the master often says this to him.
But he is a talkative person by nature, and he can't control his mouth.
…
In the Bai family yard.
In the main house, Bai Jinguang, the second master of the Bai family, had just changed his clothes and came out. His wife Cui was standing in front of him, adjusting his belt for him.
As the two were talking, Shen Baoqing's clear voice came from outside the room.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm here."
After saying that, the curtain was drawn aside and someone walked in.
Cui helped the Second Master straighten his robe and belt. When she turned around, she saw that she was sweating profusely. She quickly took out a handkerchief and when the person came to her, she grabbed her and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
He said angrily, "Where did you go?"
Shen Baoqing bent down slightly, letting her wipe the sweat off her face, and said with a smile: "I had a sparring match with my cousin."
"Oh?" Bai Jinguang sat down and raised his eyebrows. "Who won?"
"Of course it's me." Shen Baoqing was very proud. "If you don't believe me, ask him."
Bai Shaochuan happened to come in from outside.
He was calm and unhurried, without a trace of sweat on his body, and didn't look like he had ever sparred before.
Seeing his father looking at him, he nodded slightly: "I haven't seen you for a few years. My little sister's martial arts skills have improved a lot. I am not as good as her."
Shen Baoqing raised her eyebrows proudly, as if saying: See, see, I told you I'm great.
Bai Jinguang laughed out loud.
“Okay, you are awesome, how can Shen Huaishan’s daughter not be awesome?”
He stood up and said to Cui, "I have to go see the emperor. You don't have to wait for me for the dinner tonight. You can go there by yourselves."
Cui nodded.
Bai Jinguang walked a few steps, then remembered something and turned back to ask Shen Baoqing.
"I heard you say the other day that Yaoyao is here too?"
"I'm here." Shen Baoqing pulled down Cui's hand that was still wiping her sweat, "I came to see my aunt, just to tell you that I'm going to go play with Yaoyao later."
Worried that Cui would disagree, she added another sentence.
"She lives in the Cang Qiong Pavilion across the street. It's very close. If you need anything from me, just send someone to call her."
"Cang Qiong Pavilion?" Cui was puzzled. "Who lives across the street?"
Bai Jinguang: "Lu Sui, he lives there."
"Lu Sui?" Cui was not quite sure about the relationship, and asked Shen Baoqing curiously, "What is the relationship between your friend and Lord Lu?"
Just as Shen Baoqing was about to speak, Bai Shaochuan beside him spoke.
"This Miss Jiang is the owner of Wanhelou, which is under the name of Lord Lu."
Cui looked at her son with some surprise.
"Brother Chuan also knows this Miss Jiang?"
"Twice."
Seeing that Cui was about to ask something, Shen Baoqing quickly stopped her and said, "Aunt, I will bring her to see you in a while. It's getting late, I have to go."
"Wash and change your clothes..."
"No, no, Yaoyao won't dislike me anyway."
Shen Baoqing raised his foot to go out, and Bai Jinguang, who was still standing at the door, said: "Take your cousin with you. I feel at ease with him by your side."
Just as Shen Baoqing was about to refuse, Bai Shaochuan spoke first.
"yes."
“…”
She turned her head to look at him, signaling with her eyes that he should take back his words.
Bai Shaochuan turned a blind eye and walked out first.
Shen Baoqing immediately chased after him, and after walking a distance, she pulled out Bai Shaochuan's sleeve.
"Fourth brother, you usually hate joining in the fun with girls. Are you having a fit today?"
Bai Shaochuan turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"This is not like the capital. I have to protect you."
"Brother, I have martial arts skills that are better than yours. Who will protect whom?"
"I have to do my best to fulfill my father's instructions."
He is so abnormal.
It was so abnormal that Shen Baoqing had to use her little brain to think carefully.
When you think about it this way, there is something strange going on everywhere.
Ever since my fourth cousin was hurriedly brought home by my second uncle that day, Yaoyao happened to be at home. After Yaoyao left, my fourth cousin personally escorted her all the way back to Wanhe Tower. I heard that he had been to Wanhe Tower several times a few days ago. When I heard today that Yaoyao had also come here, he had obviously changed and became much more cheerful.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Yaoyao's charm is indeed amazing.
Another young master in Beijing has fallen.
