"Madam, there's news!" the servant excitedly ran into the front hall. "There's news!"
General's wife Zuo Chengxue was sitting in the front hall drinking tea. When she saw the servant rushing in, she frowned in displeasure.
"What's the point of making such a fuss?"
"Madam, please forgive me." The servant quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Never mind, what are you so excited about?"
"Yes, Miss!"
Cheng Xue immediately put down the teacup and looked at the servant worriedly.
"What happened to Jing'er?"
"No, it's Miss Shen Qing. There's news!" The servant took a deep breath. "She just entered the city and is staying in the restaurant now."
Cheng Xue was stunned for a moment, then stood up excitedly and ordered, "Quick, prepare the carriage and go pick up the young lady! Go quickly!"
Shen Jing came in from outside and was a little confused when she saw Cheng Xue so excited. "Mother, what's going on?"
"Jing'er." Cheng Xue saw Shen Jing coming over, and hurriedly held her hand and called her, "Qingqing is back."
Shen Qing is back? Shen Jing's heart skipped a beat.
Shen Qing disappeared for a month, why did he suddenly come back?
"Jing'er, what do you think is suitable for mother to wear to pick up Qingqing? Is this one okay? Should I take the gift I prepared for Qingqing with me, or wait until she comes back to give it to her?" Cheng Xue was immersed in nervous joy and did not notice that Shen Jing's face was not looking good.
"Jing'er, quickly send someone to inform your father and your elder brother that Qingqing is back!"
Shen Jing just came back to her senses when she heard Cheng Xue arrange her. She nodded, and looked at Cheng Xue's happy face, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Master, you asked me to keep an eye on Shen Qing. She's making some moves."
Jiang Zhuo raised his head upon hearing this and looked at the guard Changfeng.
"explain."
"She's gone into town with her donkey."
He didn't expect that the outspoken beauty he met in the dilapidated temple a month ago would be a disaster if he didn't check.
Not only is he a bandit leader, but he is also the eldest daughter who was lost outside the general's mansion.
What was even more unexpected was that she and her donkey were so inseparable.
"The General's Mansion has received the news. Madam Shen has asked someone to prepare a carriage and is going to take people to the restaurant to pick up Shen Qing and take him back to the mansion."
Jiang Zhuo picked up the fan beside him and went out.
Shen Qing led the donkey all the way into the capital.
Strangely enough, it kept howling all the way, but it became quiet after entering the city gate.
"You are quite sensible." Shen Qing was eating a bag of candied fruit in one hand, and patted the donkey's body with the other hand, "I will let you eat something good later."
The prosperity of the capital city is far greater than what she saw in TV dramas.
Entering the city, streets and alleys crisscross, bustling with people. Shops line the streets, flags fluttering. Silk shops display a dazzling array of silks and satins, jewelry stores glitter with precious gems, restaurants evoke cheerful laughter, and teahouses are filled with the aroma of tea.
The market was bustling with activity, the cries of vendors and shouts echoing endlessly. Street performers performed acrobatics, drawing crowds to cheers. Scholars and scholars gathered in elegant houses, reciting poems and writing couplets, freely discussing world affairs.
"How is it? Is it much grander than your world?" said the Seventh Point proudly.
"Not bad." Shen Qing nodded with satisfaction. After walking around for a while, she stopped in front of a restaurant and said, "Let's go here."
Suitable for waiting people.
From the moment she entered the city gate, she felt the gazes from all directions. Well, she was afraid that others would not know that she, Shen Qing, had entered the city.
"Sir, please come in..."
Shen Qing threw a silver ingot to the waiter and said, "Give me a private room by the window and your restaurant's signature dishes. Also, settle my donkey."
"Okay!" The waiter put the silver ingot away with a smile and shouted inside, "One VIP guest on the second floor!"
Fuzhi Restaurant was the largest restaurant in the capital. It was the place where noble families hosted banquets, officials met for social gatherings, and foreign envoys were often received.
Shen Qing opened the window and was able to see the pedestrians walking on the street outside.
This location is good.
"Why don't you go back to the general's mansion directly?" The seventh point was puzzled. Recognizing relatives is the most important thing! What to eat!
Chen Qing calmly held the teacup and watched the clouds rolling outside the window.
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
"...How can I not be anxious? The book spirit next door is almost done with his mission, and what about you? You're still not on the right track!"
"It's not like I can't live anymore..."
Things can be delayed as long as possible.
Seventh, he looked at his skills that were being upgraded. He just had to be patient! Once his skills were upgraded, he would be able to control Shen Qing!
When the time comes, it will make her cry and beg for mercy!
A gust of wind blew by, and in the blink of an eye Jiang Zhuo was sitting opposite Chen Qing, pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Why didn't you tell me that Qingqing was coming to the capital?"
"Even if I don't tell you, you came here because of the smell, didn't you?"
Why does it feel like she's talking like a dog?
"Heh, Qingqing is still so interesting." Jiang Zhuo chuckled helplessly, "Qingqing turned out to be the daughter of the general's mansion. No wonder I felt that Qingqing was extraordinary when I saw her last time."
"Do you think that I am a good match for you?" Shen Qing curled the corners of her mouth, leaned forward slightly, and looked into his eyes.
Jiang Zhuo stared at her and felt that there seemed to be a pool of deep water hidden in her eyes. The water was quiet and mysterious, bottomless, like an endless whirlpool.
Her eyes seemed to have an invisible magic that could easily capture people's hearts.
Jiang Zhuo tried to look away, but found that he was unable to do so. It was as if he was under a spell and could not move at all.
