Chapter 110 Taiqing Lake
Chapter 110 Taiqing Lake
"I understand, thank you for your kindness, Master."
This time, the man was more sincere when facing Qu Jingyao, and the light in his eyes gradually became warmer.
At this time, the servant came over with a middle-aged man. The man had stubble all over his face and looked a little sloppy, but his clear eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness.
"Uncle Hua!"
"Master, Miss, this is..."
The middle-aged man looked at his former master in this state and knew what he didn't understand. A cold look appeared in his deep eyes.
"Uncle Hua is fine. The master has already detoxified my sister. She will be gone soon."
As he spoke, he introduced the young woman in front of him to Uncle Hua as their new master.
"Uncle Hua, please don't call me Young Master anymore. We are all servants of the master. We should just do our best to serve the master in the future."
"few......"
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, he glared back at her.
Qu Jingyao only heard the middle-aged man sigh helplessly.
"Don't be ungrateful for the blessings you have. This girl is a very kind person. If it weren't for her, you... hehe..." Du Yapo said sarcastically with her arms crossed over her chest.
"This slave has met his master."
The middle-aged man knelt down towards Qu Jingyao and said with his eyes lowered.
She smiled with the corners of her lips half-curled. "Save this for now, Master. It's not too late to call you when you are convinced. Okay, follow me. I'm going to check out the shop."
As they were talking, Du Ya Po had already handed the indentures of several people to her. This was a government-run agency, so the indentures only needed to be approved by the government office.
Qu Jingyao was unfamiliar with the capital, so she asked Du Yapo if she could get someone to help her go to the government office.
"Oh, I thought it was something else. Don't worry, leave it to me. Come on, do you hear me? Go do it."
The servant bowed and took his leave, holding the indenture.
Du Yapo led Qu Jingyao out of the door, where the carriage was waiting.
Qu Jingyao came to the carriage, turned around and handed a silver note to the middle-aged man.
"Take this, send them to the clinic first, then buy them some clean clothes, and then go..." Qu Jingyao remembered at this time that she had no idea where the shop was.
Du Yapo noticed her embarrassment and quickly said to the others with a smile that they could go to the teahouse by Taiqing Lake after they were done.
"Yes, I plan to buy that shop."
Qu Jingyao spoke to the three of them, and the man said he wanted to go with them. She frowned and looked at his bloody back, waved her hand to stop him, and told him to go to the clinic instead.
After he finished speaking, Qu Jingyao got on the carriage swiftly.
The three people under the carriage stared blankly at the carriage that was slowly moving away.
"Master, isn't that girl afraid that we'll run away?"
He looked down at the hundred-liang silver note in his hand and muttered.
"Uncle Hua, please don't call us Young Master or Young Miss anymore. The Hua family is no longer around..."
"But......"
Uncle Hua looked at the young master who was originally full of vigor and vitality, and now there was a hint of frustration in his hoarse voice.
He didn't let Uncle Hua continue speaking, and reminded him to go to the clinic first, so as not to keep the master waiting for too long.
The capital city is in turmoil right now, and it's not safe for her as a woman outside.
"it is good."
Uncle Hua looked at the young master covered in scars and wanted to take the young lady with him, but was rejected. Helplessly, he could only shake his head and follow the two of them.
Qu Jingyao soon arrived at the Taiqing Lake. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The lake is very large, like a pearl embedded in the capital city. The sparkling lake surface shows the world a unique mystery and charming charm.
The weeping willows by the lake have already sprouted fresh branches, standing lushly on the shore. If this is the vitality of Taiqing Lake, then the colorful flowers around it add a colorful liveliness to Taiqing Lake.
"Girl, please come this way."
Grandma Du led her towards the ancient two-story building by the lake.
What comes into view is the tightly closed doorfront. The carved doors and windows are exquisite and delicate. Under the erosion of time, the vermilion paint on them has faded a little, as if telling the world its past story.
"Please come in, young lady."
Grandma Du ordered the servant to open the door and walked in.
When Qu Jingyao stepped into the shop, a stale smell hit her face, perhaps because the windows had not been opened for a long time.
"Ms. Du, it looks like this shop hasn't been open for a while."
Du Ya Po did not hide the fact that the owner of this shop had been confiscated for some time, and the shop had been under the control of the government. It was only recently that it came into her hands.
She looked around. It was originally a teahouse, and the entire second floor was occupied by private rooms. The tables and chairs in the lobby downstairs were covered with a thick layer of dust.
"Oh, there's a small courtyard behind here, with a pavilion by the water. You can go take a look."
She hadn't expected this and followed Du Yapo to the backyard.
This courtyard is not small. It has rooms, kitchens, stables, and everything else. It's like a small courtyard!
The pavilion built by the water also caught Qu Jingyao's eye, and she liked it very much.
From the windows of the waterside pavilion, you can overlook the entire surface of Taiqing Lake.
The sound of stringed instruments coming from the cruise ship on the lake reached Qu Jingyao's ears clearly.
She didn't know that at this moment, on the cruise ship in the middle of the lake, the man she was trying to avoid was being dragged by a few friends to listen to some music.
"Xiu, you said you stayed in the house all day and didn't even come out for some fresh air."
"That's right, brother, I've put in a lot of effort today to invite Miss Qianyun, the top performer at Li Luoxuan, to play the zither. Please don't let this beauty down..."
The person who spoke was Leng Yanxiu's good friend, Ningyang Marquis's son Fu Qingxuan.
Leng Yanxiu didn't even raise his eyelids, and directly picked up the white jade teacup on the table and took a sip.
No matter how people around him nag, he always looks cold and aloof.
His friend beside him looked at his dead look, sighed helplessly, and waved his hand to let Qianyun continue playing behind the curtain.
Leng Yanxiu turned his head to the window, staring at the scenery in the distance in a daze.
Suddenly his eyes narrowed. The beautiful figure standing in front of the window of the pavilion in the distance looked so familiar.
His sword-like brows furrowed three points, wondering if it was really that girl. He had sent her a letter before, but she didn't even reply, and now she came to the capital again?
"Xiu, what are you looking at?"
"Of course it's to see the lake view. Can Xiu also see beautiful women? Haha..."
The two of them were joking and didn't notice the anger in Leng Yanxiu's eyes, even he himself didn't notice it.
The next second, Leng Yanxiu quickly disappeared from the cruise ship and flew towards the pavilion on the shore.
"Xiu, where are you going?"
"Oh my God! Do you think he's going after that beauty?"
Qianyun heard the conversation between the two people behind the gauze curtain. Her heart tightened and she accidentally played a wrong note.
"I'm sorry, Prince. I was distracted." Qianyun stood up and bowed to the two people outside the curtain.
Bai Qing's eyes flickered slightly, he played with the teacup in his hand, and said with a half-smile on his lips:
"It seems that the rumors are true that Miss Qianyun admires him."
