Alienated Martial Arts

The carriage traveled along the road for some distance.

Turn left into a garden-like area.

Finally, we stopped in front of a stone gate archway.

Servants and maids guarding the door had already come forward to greet them.

He curtsied and waited in front of the carriage.

"Mr. Tan, we are here."

The driver quickly opened the door and put a square footstool in place.

"Follow me for now, don't run around by yourself, and don't be too nervous." Tan Pan got out of the car and walked forward with Wei Tao.

Wei Tao nodded and walked behind carrying two boxes.

He didn't feel any nervousness.

After all, he had been to the more solemn and magnificent palace more than once in his previous life. Although the scenery here was beautiful and majestic, it was far from shocking him.

Not long after they entered the door, they saw two young women wearing large cloaks standing on the stone bridge in front of them.

The woman on the left is dignified and generous.

Although the face is not very delicate and beautiful,

But she has a ladylike temperament.

The girl on the right seems to be older, with a gentle and gentle appearance, giving people a feeling of weakness.

When Tan Pan saw the two people, he immediately smiled and walked quickly over to greet the woman on the left.

"Jiaoyun, this is the seventh junior brother I mentioned to you before, Wei Tao."

He walked up to the stone bridge with a smile and pointed at the gift box in Wei Tao's hand, "Knowing that Miss Qu will be here today, Junior Brother Wei specially asked someone to bring gifts from Baiyuan Garden in Linqi City..."

"It turns out to be the rouge and gouache from Baiyuan Garden. Mr. Wei is really serious about it."

Huang Jiaoyun called the servant to take the gift box, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is this a tacit understanding? I remember that the ones Sister Qushang uses on weekdays happen to be from Baiyuan Garden."

Qu Chang raised a smile on her lips and said lightly, "Thank you so much, Mr. Wei."

"As long as Miss Qu likes it." Wei Tao could only smile politely and wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The eldest brother and the second young lady of the Huang family played a double act without even saying hello to him in advance, which really caught people off guard.

And specifically asked someone to buy something from Linqi City?

He only found out about the garden party the night before.

Even if a flying pigeon delivers a message and a horse rushes back,

I'm afraid it's too late to deliver these two boxes of things.

"Yunmei, it's almost time, we should go in." After chatting for a while on the stone bridge, Qu Chang reminded.

"Oh, let's go then."

Huang Jiaoyun nodded and led a few people off the stone bridge.

As a result, after walking less than ten meters, she said anxiously, "Oh, Sister Qu, I just remembered that there seems to be something that I need Brother Tan's help to deal with."

"This..." Qu Chang was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "Since Yunmei has something to do, she should go and get busy first."

"Anyway, I am familiar with the road to Meiyuan, so there will be no problem in taking Mr. Wei there."

When Huang Jiaoyun heard this, a smile suddenly broke out on her face, "I know that Sister Qu Shang is considerate, so Brother Tan and I will leave first. You two have a good chat, and we will meet you for a drink after we are done. "

In an instant, only Wei Tao and Qu Shang were left under the stone bridge.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward and delicate.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Meiyuan right now."

After a moment of silence, Qu Chang broke the silence and walked forward first.

After walking silently for a certain distance, she suddenly sighed leisurely, looked forward and said slowly, "I understand what Yun Mei means, but I don't have too many thoughts in that regard now, and I think the two of us It’s not appropriate either.”

Qu Chang suddenly stopped speaking, and then said apologetically, "Don't think too much about it. I don't mean that Mr. Wei is not outstanding, but..."

Wei Tao interrupted her and said with a gentle smile, "Miss Qu, there is no need to say anything. I understand very well and don't think too much about it."

"That's good." Qu Chang stopped and pointed at the scattered buildings in front of him.

"That's Meiyuan. I have some things to do, so I won't accompany Mr. Wei there."

"Thank you, Miss Qu, for leading the way. I'll just go there by myself." Wei Tao cupped his fists and saluted.

She nodded and summoned the maid to walk in the other direction.

After walking a certain distance, Qu Chang stopped and said to the maid beside him.

"Xiao Yue, take my jade token and go back to the old house now to find Granny Pan to get some things."

"Go home now, are you in such a hurry?" Maid Xiaoyue said with a smile.

Qu Chang took out the token and handed it to her hand, "I'm not particularly anxious, but it's better to finish this matter as soon as possible. Just go and run harder."

If she were in an ordinary wealthy family, a maid as a slave would never dare to talk to such a young lady like her.

But Xiaoyue's mother is Qu Shang's wet nurse, and the two have grown up together since childhood. Compared to the master and servants, they are more like playmates and sisters, so their daily interactions are more casual.

Xiao Yue put the jade token away, "What do you want to get, Miss?"

Qu Chang thought for a moment and said, "Ask Granny Pan to get a box of medicinal materials needed by warriors to stimulate qi and blood. The standard must be higher, plus ten meridians tongmai pills, and say I want to give them away."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Let her choose a fur cloak from the old house's treasury and bring it with the medicinal materials."

"The size of the cloak is calculated based on the figure of Mr. Wei just now. I would rather make it a little bigger than a little smaller."

"Mr. Wei?" Xiao Yue held the jade sign but did not leave.

Instead, he said with some confusion, "Miss, didn't you just say that you didn't like that person?"

"Why do you have to prepare such an expensive return gift for him?"

"A fur cloak from the warehouse is worth at least dozens of taels of silver. Just give it to him. How can we be grateful?"

"Not to mention a box of well-matched high-grade medicinal materials and ten Tongmai Pills, which are things that are difficult to buy even with money."

She kept asking a series of questions.

Qu Chang stared at the red wall and green tiles in the distance, smiled and said, "Since he prepared the gift in advance, we can't lose etiquette under any circumstances, right?"

"But it doesn't have to cost so much. How much are two boxes of rouge and gouache worth?"

Xiao Yue still looked a little unconvinced and pouted, "What's more, didn't the lady ask me to find someone to inquire in detail? He is a commoner from a bitter cold background. Even if he is now an official disciple of the Red Line Martial Arts School, after all, he has no background and support,

In the future, he would be lucky enough to be a housekeeper in the inner city, so there was no need to waste time and money on him. "

"It's not as good as Mr. Zhao Zhi from the Zhao family in the inner city. He is only two or three years older than Wei Tao. He is about to break through to the realm of blood coagulation. His future prospects are limitless."

"Let me tell you, just buy some pastries from the shops in the inner city. It's already a rare gift for him."

"Xiao Yue, stop talking, just do as I say." The smile on Qu Chang's face remained unchanged, but her tone became faintly darker.

"Even if we don't care what he thinks, we still have to take care of Miss Huang's face and not let anyone say anything."

Although Qu Shang looks gentle and weak, she is not weak. She has her own opinions when things happen. She has the kind of personality that is round on the outside and square on the inside. Otherwise, she would not be able to control the family business as a woman.

Seeing that her young lady had made a decision, Xiao Yue did not dare to say anything and walked directly outside with the jade token.
