"Adjust it yourself next time."
"Yan She, you're not only ruthless, but your skills are also superb. How can someone as talented as you be confined to the General's Mansion?"
Hearing this, Xie Lingqin asked curiously, "Submitting to a lower position? Is the General's Mansion losing face?"
"Brick." Bai Yu waved his hand. "Who doesn't know that the General's Mansion is just an empty shell now that the General's wife has died? It sounds nice to call it the General's Mansion, but it doesn't have any military power at all. I'm telling you, kid, if you really want to get promoted and make money, you might as well join the army. With your black heart and black lungs, you might be able to do it."
"Heh!" Xie Lingqin chuckled coldly. "Does the Northern Rong kingdom need me to protect it?"
Bai Yu glanced at Xie Lingqin from head to toe. "No need. I'm more worried that you'll sell Bei Rong out."
Xie Lingqin glared at Bai Yu, too lazy to pay him any attention, wiped her hands, and said, "It's almost dawn, I'm leaving."
"Hey, shall I give you a ride?"
"Brother Yanshe, let me take you there."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, the curtain behind her was lifted, and Bai Yu's younger sister, Bai Ling, ran out happily like a little rabbit.
Xie Lingqin knew that Bai Ling had been helping out here these past few days, but she hadn't been here often and hadn't seen her much.
"Um, no..."
"Hey, Bai Ling, why are you sending him off? He looks so safe, don't worry, it'll be fine." Bai Yu immediately pulled Bai Ling over, giving her a serious and earnest lecture, while also looking at Xie Lingqin with a wary expression.
His eyes narrowed, and his face was full of resentment, making it seem as if Xie Lingqin had seduced his younger sister.
Xie Lingqin...
Speechless, I turned and left.
“Young Master Yan, let me see you off.” As soon as they stepped out, Minglan stepped forward to offer his services.
Xie Lingqin glanced at Ming Lan, wanting him to take her there, since he knew light-footed kung fu and could arrive in the blink of an eye.
However, she had just reached some kind of secret agreement with the Crown Prince, and what if the Crown Prince secretly sent people to watch her outside the General's Mansion?
That would expose Minglan and the others' whereabouts.
Xie Lingqin pondered for a while, then shook her head, "Forget it, just in case, it's best if you don't show yourselves for now, and wait until things calm down."
Minglan nodded, "We will obey your orders, young master."
“However…” Xie Lingqin suddenly thought of something, her gaze falling on Ming Lan, her expression incredibly deep.
Minglan's eyes widened, and a blush seemed to have appeared on his dark and angular face.
Xie Lingqin was already extremely beautiful when she was a woman, but she didn't like to dress up. When she dressed as a man, although she tried to conceal it, she was still handsome and elegant, with bright eyes and a clear voice. In particular, her eyes were clearer than lake water, and it seemed that one would fall in love with her if one looked at them for too long.
"Minglan, among the eleven of you, who has the best lightness skill?" Xie Lingqin's bright and deep voice, which sounded like a man's, pulled Minglan back to her senses.
Minglan immediately raised her hand and beckoned, and ten more men appeared, lined up in two rows, looking like police officers awaiting orders.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and tapped her brow. "Well, how about this, whoever has the best lightness skill, step forward."
"The leader is the best."
All ten people pointed at Minglan.
"Alright, Minglan, ask your son three questions." Xie Lingqin put her hands behind her back, raised her head, and looked extremely serious.
Ming Lan stood up straight, respectful and attentive. "Please give your orders, young master."
"You don't reject women, do you?"
this……
Minglan shook her head, "I don't mind."
"Where one learned from a teacher is not forbidden from being revealed to outsiders, is it?"
Minglan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No."
Be patient.
this……
Minglan was getting more and more confused. After thinking for a moment, she nodded again, "Yes, young master, there must be one."
“Alright, teach me lightness skill.” Xie Lingqin made the final decision.
Minglan and the other ten men were taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Miss, are you sure you want to learn?" Minglan asked carefully, her eyebrows furrowed.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "I'm serious, don't worry, I'll pay the tuition. I'm leaving."
Minglan was somewhat confused as he watched Xie Lingqin's figure merge with the beams of light rising at dawn.
“Leader, she… Miss Lingqin is learning lightness skill…” A man behind Minglan stepped forward and whispered, “Is she really serious?”
"She doesn't seem like someone who would lie."
"Hey, Brother Yanshe..." At this moment, Bai Ling, who had finally gotten rid of Bai Yu, chased after her, but Xie Lingqin was nowhere to be seen. She stomped her feet in anger, "Ahhh, you bad brother, I hate you, you let Brother Yanshe go."
"Hey, you're the one Brother Yanshe brought. Just now, was she talking to you? Are you close to her? This..." Bai Ling's rosy face flushed red as she took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Ming Lan. "I made this myself. If I'm not around next time, please give it to Brother Yanshe." After saying that, Bai Ling lowered her head and ran away.
Minglan looked at the mandarin duck pouch on his arm, and the usually serious and upright man frowned slightly.
this……
...
When Xie Lingqin returned to Qingshui Pavilion, it was just dawn.
Smelling the aroma of the food on her body, and to avoid arousing suspicion, Xie Lingqin had Zihe fetch water and took a bath.
To be honest, if the original owner of this body hadn't been in such a poor condition, she would have liked to enjoy a spicy hot pot meal just now. Watching Bai Yu eat it, she... also really wanted to eat some.
I patted my lower abdomen. Thankfully, two days have passed and I've finally gotten used to it. I estimate it will calm down in another day or two.
"Miss, the General wants you to have breakfast together in the front hall." Zihe pushed open the door and came in, her face showing a hint of excitement.
Xie Lingqin smoothed her hair and glanced at Zihe, "Be more reserved."
"This servant... was infected by the giant clam."
---Aside---
I am a hardworking little bee...
I've only briefly described the cooking process for my hot pot restaurant, and I hope you ladies won't find it boring or too vague. So, after thinking it over, I've decided to write a more general overview.
