C10 Song Yanqing Was Suspicious of Her

"Your mother's illness is fine. It'll be fine in a few days."

The Muzhao held a handful of mint leaves in her hands. She had picked it up when she was wandering around the flower bed, and it was exactly what she wanted.

Because Leefuren's body wasn't well, Muzhao told him to stay back and take care of her first. Because she was afraid that Laisan would regret it when she saw that he had returned, she even made him write a contract to sell himself to her.

The Leefuren also thought that was reasonable, so she got Xiangling to bring paper and brush over and wrote a contract. This made Muzhao a little different, she had originally wanted to help her write the contract, but who knew that the Leefuren would be able to read, and it would still be difficult to do so in this dynasty.

Presumably, the name Xiangling was also her. Born in summer, although it was just a normal crop — Ling Jiao Hua, but adding the word 'Xiang' on top of it seemed to be different from the others.

Muzhao didn't know how such a knowledgeable and reasonable girl like Leefuren had gone along with that rogue, nor could she ask about such things in detail. She could only silently regret in her heart, if it were any other good girl from other families, such as Xiangling, they would definitely be doted on.

"Thank you, Miss."

The Xiangling bowed towards the Muzhao, her face filled with gratitude. The Miss had given her a few days, and she would be able to take good care of her mother until she completely recovered.

"This mint has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying the body and cooling the blood. It also has a good effect on relieving cough and inflammation. You can also take some mint to soak in water."

"Alright, I'll remember that."

"Hey, and don't eat spicy food, or it will affect the efficacy of the medicine."

After Muzhao finished warning her about the precautions, she dragged Soongyanqing out of the Li family's small courtyard. Xiangling stood by the door until they could no longer be seen before he turned around and entered the room.

When the sun set, the sky was very beautiful. It was as if the earth was covered in a thin layer of golden gauze. The setting sun hid between the mountains as if it wanted to say something.

Because it was late in the evening, the temperature was not as hot as it was at noon. Many villagers came out to do their work, and when the sky was completely dark, they would go back home to eat, play with their wives and children for a while, and then go to bed.

Muzhao did not know if this era also had night life, so he curiously asked Soongyanqing, "What do you guys usually do after the sea?"

"Strange to say, what did you do in the old days? We're probably the same. "

Soongyanqing glanced at Muzhao and saw her embarrassment, so she continued, "The left side is just taking a rest, if there's a holiday, go take a stroll on the streets."

Just as she had thought, the Muzhao lightly smiled, "That is truly interesting."

Was that how the ancients lived? She remembered that there were probably no curfews in the Southern Song Dynasty. The night life of the people was very colorful, singing and dancing every day, and the restaurant owners would close up very late.

Since the rules here were so strict, she could only eat and sleep at night. She felt bored to death here because she was afraid of the unfamiliar environment. After being familiar with it for a few days, she felt that it was too boring.

"I was just joking. Although Anyi County isn't as bustling as Beijing, there are still a lot of delicious food and novel gadgets there. If you want to see, you can go back later."

When she frowned, Soongyanqing could guess what she was thinking. It was not easy to go to the city with great difficulty, it was fine if she wanted to go around. It was just that she had been delayed because of Xiangling's matter.

"Is that okay? The city gates will probably close soon. "

Muzhao wanted to see what the night life here was like, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to go back later.

"If you're late, then go to an inn and get a room. Anyway, I've spent quite a bit today and I don't need this bit of money. Let's go."

Soongyanqing patted her shoulder and took the lead. Muzhao sighed and followed.

When Muzhao was in school, they would study at night, or go to play basketball with their friends. Their good friend Linzichang said that they would often stay up late in their job, and there were many people who would suddenly die.

There was a food street outside the school. It was crowded every night. The stalls selling barbecue and octopus pellets were next to each other. They argued with each other over customers every day, while the hemp burns nearby were very cheap. In order to avoid trouble, many university students would often come to his place.

Although it was often heard from parents that food on the streets was hard to find clean and hygienic, because of the good taste and the seasonings placed on the feet, the children still crowded back and forth to buy food.

Muzhao had eaten quite a lot when she was young. In primary school, being able to eat a bunch of grilled sausages in front of the school gate everyday was the happiest thing that she did.

However, this happy day soon came to an end. Once in a while, she saw the woman who sold roasted sausages put them back into the oven. She also sprinkled some cumin and chili peppers to cover her fall.

Muzhao didn't know which unlucky classmate would buy the roasted sausage, but she suddenly lost the urge to continue eating. She took the money back and left, no matter how the auntie complained.

For so many years, she rarely went out to eat, because she didn't know if what she ate was clean, or if the shop owner used it to make up the number.

Today, eating that biscuit had caused her stomach to ache for a long time, and she even went to the toilet a few times. At this moment, she didn't dare to say anything and try again.

On the left side of the street, there were several large vats placed in front of a peddler. On the table, there was a signboard with the names of several types of soup written on it.

A few children were drinking a bowl of Shuchang, shouting for another bowl, but since drinking too much would cause stomach upset, the parents did not allow it.

"That's the soup. Do you want to try it?"

Seeing the curiosity in Muzhao's eyes, Soongyanqing didn't come to find her suspicious. This girl was intelligent and had extensive knowledge, so why is it that she didn't have any basic knowledge?

"Sure, I was just tired and thirsty when I left."

Muzhao licked her lips. She never thought that there would be a fruit juice seller here. She happily walked in front of the hawker and ordered two bowls of sweet soup.

The peddler acted quickly and helped them pack the dishes in a few moments. The two of them sat by the side and enjoyed the food.

The ancient fruit juice tasted pretty good. Because it was summer time, the peddler even added some ice cubes into it. This way, the soup would be ice-cold, and the fruit juice was sour and sweet.

"Young big brother, this sweet soup of yours tastes really good."

After finishing one bowl, Muzhao felt his entire body becoming comfortable and his pores becoming colder. It was because he had to drink some ice cream during the summer.

As she thought of this, she started to miss the modern ice cream air conditioner, which was a must for the summer.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she started a conversation with the young man selling soup. He had just had some time off, so he was happy to chat with her for a while.

"Miss, I don't know. The pollen used in this soup was personally made by my wife. It's very fine. In addition, I even intentionally added spice in to make it taste much better than other houses."

"Yeah, after so much effort, I was wondering why it was so delicious."

The Muzhao thought that this Ice Snow Ganoderma Soup required someone to buy fresh fruits before being squeezed in. Unexpectedly, the person who cured the flowers and fruits with salt, then went to dry them under the sun, grinded them into fine powder, and put them into utensils. When they were done eating, they would take them out and use the water to make drinks, which was as convenient as carrying milk tea.

"Don't be too greedy. Have you forgotten the lesson of your past?"

Soongyanqing reached out his hand to stop Muzhao from wanting another bowl of soup. He had already felt the discomfort from before, so he didn't want to provoke it anymore.

"Oh, okay."

Muzhao put down his bowl and quietly returned to his seat. The man was right, he had to take note of the mistakes, since it was difficult to find a toilet on the streets.

She laid on the table and watched Soongyanqing drink her soup. It was probably because she was born in a noble family, so her tutoring was more strict. She had previously seen him eating slowly, so she wasn't as anxious as she was now.

"You're staring at me like that, is there anything on my face?"

Soongyanqing put down his spoon and touched his face with his hand.

"No, I'm just a bit curious."

Muzhao shifted her body and shifted her gaze away. Naturally, she could not tell him the reason.

"Yeah."

"En, quickly finish your wine, and we will go for a stroll later. I've been wanting to go for a while now."

"I keep feeling like you've never traveled far before, that you're very curious about everything."

After finishing the last mouthful of the sweet soup, he walked over to the little brother to pay the bill.

"Yes, my father is rather strict, so I don't have much of a chance to go out and play."

After all, she was not born here, so it was normal for her to be curious about anything. She could not be blamed as a bumpkin, for Soongyanqing, in the modern world, was still like Grandma Liu who entered the Great View Garden.

"Then why did you come to Anyi County again? Could it be that you have some sort of secret?"

Soongyanqing knew that she was spouting nonsense during this period of time, so she intentionally asked Yue Yang. Originally, her sudden appearance here alone was very strange, even Empress Dowager Ci Xi had never heard of her before, so everything that happened showed that this girl was very strange.

If she had any other motive, she should be cautious, but she was the one who stirred up trouble and enjoyed helping others. She had first rescued him from the unmarked cemetery, then helped Xiangling and her mother to treat their illness.
