Each world be

Chapter 135 The Loyal Guardian of Bai Yueguang Jin 10

"Brother, the banquet is about to begin, why are you still here?"

In the last few steps, Shi Qing slowed down.

Seeing Su Lanqing beside Shen Zhinan, he was slightly stunned for a moment, "Mr. Su."

Su Lanqingqing smiled warmly, "Second Miss, how are you?"

Shen Zhinan was surprised, his eyes moved back and forth between the two people: "Do you know each other?"

Su Lanqing's beautiful eyes were as bright as stars, and she said, "I had the honor of meeting the Second Miss at Jinyun Temple a few days ago."

Shi Qing also nodded, smiled and said nothing.

She glanced at Xue Zhao calmly and said, "Brother, the banquet is about to begin. Mother wants us to come over."

Hearing this, Shen Zhinan didn't bother about Xue Zhao's affairs. He glanced at him with a cold look, and left with Shi Qing and Su Lanqing.

Xue Zhao just watched the three people's backs indifferently, and then silently took out the Art of War to read.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was always crowded with guests coming and going, making it very lively.

After lunch, Shi Qing took Qiuyue for a walk in the mansion.

During the banquet, everyone was smiling fakely and flattering the guests until their faces were almost stiff.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large, with pavilions, towers, rockery, strange rocks, exotic flowers and trees, and a clear pond with gurgling water. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner and is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.

Sometimes he leaned on the pavilion, supported his forehead with one hand, and admired the carp in the pond with a special sentiment.

"In summer, when the lotus leaves are green and round, the fragrance of lotus flowers wafts through the air, and carp play among them, that is the real fun."

Qiuyue stayed beside her and said with a smile: "Maybe this summer, the carp that the young lady will watch will not be the carp here."

Shi Qing knew what she meant. Just now, Shen came to her and hinted that she would use this banquet to find a young man from aristocratic family who was suitable for marriage for her.

After her coming-of-age ceremony last year, Shen began to worry about her marriage.

The Prime Minister is on good terms with the Chief Censor, and just now he was trying to bring her together with Su Qinglan.

Su Qinglan was a gentle person with an outstanding family background and appearance, not to mention that he had once won the top three honors in the imperial examinations. Many girls in the capital secretly fell in love with him.

Qiuyue added, "I just saw that the master and his wife are very fond of Mr. Su. I wonder what the young lady thinks?"

"How can I feel? My marriage has never been decided by me."

"Mr. Su is a gentle and polite man with noble character. He is also the eldest son's best friend and knows him well. If Miss really marries him, she will marry into a good family and will not have to worry about the rest of her life."

Shi Qing looked at the carps in the pond, who seemed to be enjoying themselves in the clear water.

"No matter how beautiful and elegant this pond is, it is only a few feet long and wide. The carp think they are born in a good family and have no worries about food and drink. It's okay for them not to know that their world is small, but at least they live freely."

“But if the big fish that live in rivers and lakes are trapped here, they will surely die of depression.”

Qiuyue followed her gaze and saw several golden carps playing around in the duckweed.

"Miss Shen is so elegant."

A series of steady footsteps approached from the corridor behind.

Qiuyue was the first to salute, "Mr. Su."

Shi Qing glanced at Su Qinglan calmly and stood up slowly, "Why is Master Su here?"

If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

The servant behind Su Qinglan also bowed to Shi Qing.

Su Qinglan put one hand behind her back, looked around, and asked in surprise: "Why didn't I see Guard Xue this time?"

"I don't know what Mr. Su wants from my guards. If you need anything, you can call other servants."

"I just thought that the guard looked familiar, so I wanted to get to know him."

"Master Su is really as the rumors say, friendly, gentle and powerful."

Shi Qing looked at him and praised him, but upon closer inspection, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Su Qinglan remained graceful and laughed loudly, "No, no, Second Miss, you are too kind. Second Miss is not only able to mingle with the people of the capital, but also has high hopes for her own guards, treating them like family members."

Seeing Shi Qing's face suddenly turn cold, he changed the subject: "If I'm not mistaken, the book that Guard Xue and the Second Miss were reading just now was an ancient book on the art of war. I didn't know that the Second Miss also knew the art of war."

His eyes fell on his face, Shi Qing looked relaxed, "I know a little bit, but I can't compare to Master Su who is well-read."

Su Qinglan stopped when she saw that things were going well, raised her lips and chuckled, "Then I will not disturb the Second Miss's pleasure, and will take my leave first."

Shi Qing nodded, "Master Su, take care."

Su Qinglan smiled lightly with a non-aggressive face and left gracefully.

The spring breeze lifts up the corners of his clothes, and the young man is as white as jade.

As soon as he left, Shi Qing was too lazy to pretend anymore and complained in her heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Qinglan pretends to be well-mannered and gentle.

It’s still unclear what kind of person he is inside.

After the banquet, everything was back to normal.

Shi Qing still took Xue Zhao and Qiu Yue to the pharmacy to help, providing low-cost medical treatment for ordinary people.

This pharmacy belongs to the Ding family. Ding Fuling is the only daughter in the family. Her mother died early and her father also died a year ago, leaving this pharmacy to her.

The Ding family has taken it as their mission to save the world from generation to generation and are deeply loved by the people.

Shi Qing then found Ding Fuling, expressed his desire to work together to develop "Jishitang", and donated money to it.

Originally, Ding Fuling was still skeptical about her, but when she saw the series of rare medical skills that Shi Qing gave her, she immediately smiled and happily agreed.

So, the four of them often stayed in "Jishitang".

Fuling was seeing patients, Shiqing was getting medicine, Xue Zhao was chopping wood and reading, and Qiuyue was in charge of lunch for the four of them.

However, after eating there a few times, Xue Zhao felt that Qiuyue’s cooking skills were really poor, so he took the initiative to volunteer to prepare lunch.

Now that Qiuyue had nothing to do, Shi Qing asked her to read medical books and identify various herbs.

Of course, when he returned, Shi Qing could not avoid being scolded by the Prime Minister and Shen.

However, she always ignored it.

On the surface he appears to be submissive and obedient, but behind the scenes he climbs over the wall like a swift flowing stream.

As spring comes and summer goes, the peach blossoms fade and the lotus leaves turn round; the sound of frogs croaking gradually rises by the pond.

By evening, the heat and boredom of the day gradually faded away, and Shi Qing and Qiu Yue were taking a walk in the pavilion.

"Miss, you said you were going to Wutong Mountain to collect herbs tomorrow! What if the master and mistress found out?"

"Don't worry, my father has been busy with official duties these days and has already left the capital. My mother returned to my grandparents' home yesterday and will stay for four or three days."

"Aunt Zhao and my third sister never come to my place. But if my brother asks, you can say that I'm out, or I'm not feeling well and I'm staying indoors."

Although he followed his own lady, he did all kinds of outrageous things.

But the young lady secretly went out to collect herbs, and such a big thing made Qiuyue very nervous.

"Miss, I'm still afraid. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to the master and the mistress?"

Shi Qing stopped and said, "Qiuyue, I will be fine. Besides, we have Xue Zhao to protect us, so don't worry, you just need to cover it up for me."

She often goes out during the day these days, so people don't care even if they see her not at home.

In the evening, if the Prime Minister and Shen were not at home, they did not have to dine together.

Even if she didn't show up for a whole day, no one would suspect too much.

But when Qiuyue thought of the uncontrollable situation, her heart sank with fear.

But Shi Qing was determined to leave, and she knew that it would be useless no matter how much she tried to persuade him.

He could only sigh deeply and keep instructing Shi Qing.

On the second day, Shi Qing, Ding Fuling and Xue Zhao hired a carriage and left the city.

Wutong Mountain is about thirty miles outside the capital.

In midsummer, dense trees clustered together, and the hot sunlight shone through the layers of green leaves, falling in patches on the man driving the carriage.

The three of them set out at the hour of Mao and traveled along the way. Now that the heat was getting stronger, it was probably noon.

Shi Qingsu lifted the carriage curtain with her hands and said shakily, "Xue Zhao, the sun is shining brightly now, let's stop and rest for a while."

Xue Zhao held the reins in his hands, glanced sharply around, and finally chose to stop around an ancient tree.

"Miss, here we are."

He jumped off the carriage, turned around and stretched out his hand to Shi Qing.

The girl lifted the car curtain, bent down and walked out, placed her slender and fair fingers on the man's broad palm, and jumped down with the help of his strength.

Her fingers are very soft, her skin is smooth and refreshing, and feels particularly good.

Xue Zhao rubbed his palms unconsciously, and her fragrance seemed to still linger on them.

Seeing Xue Zhao's temples wet with sweat, Shi Qing handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it first. You've worked hard along the way."

Seeing the plain handkerchief in front of him, Xue Zhao was stunned for a moment, then took it as if possessed by a ghost, "Thank you."

The handkerchief was a refreshing aqua blue in color, with an orchid embroidered on it, featuring long leaves, dense flowers, and a faint fragrance.

Seeing him staring at the handkerchief in a daze, Shi Qing smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at that handkerchief?"

"I will soil the lady's handkerchief."

"It's dirty, it's just a handkerchief."

Shi Qing said, snatching the handkerchief he was holding and wiping his forehead on tiptoe, "Even if you are reluctant, it's useless. Wipe it quickly."

She handed him the handkerchief again.

Xue Zhao lowered his head, and the orchid was stained with a stain of sweat, which was very conspicuous.

Xie Huai was a passionate man, and women who admired him often gave him handkerchiefs.

He said that handkerchiefs have always been a woman's personal property. If you give it to someone, it means...
