  Chapter 30 Travel Notes

   "I'm fine." Xin You looked openly, and met those deep eyes, "I didn't expect to meet a righteous man here again, can you tell me the name of the righteous man?"

  He Qingxiao saw the staring eyes of the shopkeeper and the clerk from the corner of his eye, and swallowed the refusal silently, and said softly, "My surname is He."

   "Master He."

  He Qingxiao slightly raised his eyebrows.

  Xin You explained: "Just now I heard the guy call you sir."

  Seeing the girl's calm appearance, He Qingxiao suddenly felt that it was meaningless to avoid her identity.

   "I am serving as the town care envoy in Jinlinwei. Ms. Kou doesn't have to keep in mind what I did that day."

   "Master He's effort is a life-saving grace for me."

   "Miss Kou's reminder that day has paid off." He Qingxiao thought of the flower pot that fell from the sky, and the way he looked at Xinyou changed slightly.

  Originally, he suspected that it was a trap set up by the girl in front of him to deliberately get close to him, but after hearing something about the Shaoqing Mansion, he dispelled this suspicion.

  A little girl in that kind of environment has already tried her best to protect herself, and there is no way to get close to someone like him, and there is no need.

   However, he still doesn't understand how a boudoir girl who depends on others can be proficient in physiognomy.

  He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, and said: "If Miss Kou encounters any troubles, if He can solve them within her ability, you can also come to me."

   This time, Chang Xinyou's eyes changed.

  Hiding puzzlement in her eyes, when she touched the other party's clear and peaceful eyes, she realized instantly.

  He Qingxiao's treatment of her in this way is the same as that of the boy she had just begged for his mother's salary advance, out of pure sympathy for those who are in deep trouble.

  Xin You blessed Fushen again: "I thank Mr. He first."

  He Qingxiao nodded, his eyes fell on the counter.

  Xin You looked along, wondering secretly.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mr. He seems to be staring at the travel book she wants to buy.

   "Don't bother Mr. He." Xin You picked up the travel notes, "Shopkeeper, pay the bill."

   "Miss, are you sure you want to buy this book?" The shopkeeper asked Xin You, but his eyes were sneaking at He Qingxiao.

  He Qingxiao walked quickly towards the depths of the bookshelf.

   "The shopkeeper?"

   "Oh!" The shopkeeper who turned his head to look at the back quickly turned his head and pointed out three fingers, "The price of this travel book is a bit high, it costs three taels of silver."

  Three liang of silver is really not cheap.

  Xiao Lian couldn't help but said: "A book of Chinese script is only a few hundred words!"

The shopkeeper was not surprised by the little maid's reaction, and explained with a smile: "This is incomparable. The book is printed in large quantities, the cost is low, and the price is naturally cheap. This is the only one in this travel book shop. For those who like No matter how expensive it is, it is worth it.”

  Xin You nodded slightly, Xiao Lian stopped talking, and took out the broken silver and put it on the counter.

  The buddy hurriedly wrapped the travel notes carefully and handed them over to Xiaolian.

   "I'll take it." Xin You took the book directly, bid farewell to the shopkeeper and walked out.

  The man saw the master and servant walking out of the bookstore, and asked the shopkeeper in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, why didn't you remind that girl—"

   He said, quietly pointing inside.

  The shopkeeper and the staff all know that every time Mr. He comes to the bookstore, he will read the travel notes.

   "Don't talk too much." The shopkeeper gave a warning and glared at the guy.

  If there were other guests, he would definitely remind him quietly, lest he inadvertently offend the envoy of Jinlinwei Township. But just now when he saw that girl wanted to buy travel notes, Mr. He didn't say anything, so he didn't plan to talk too much.

   Such an expensive book, it was hard to sell it!

   But he didn't know that He Qingxiao, who was standing by the bookshelf and flipped through a book, was not as calm as he looked on the surface.

  The book in front of him became more and more boring, and he only had one thought in his mind: He hasn't finished reading that book...

  There were no shortage of people outside Qingsong Bookstore. Xiao Lian looked around on tiptoe and asked Xin You: "Miss, do you want me to buy a copy?"

  The "Peony Tale" in the girl's hand was also written by Mr. Ping An. It's just that for some reason, there seems to be blood stains on it.

  Xiao Lian guessed that Xin You had something to do when she came to Beijing, but she didn't ask a single word.

  The girl avenged her girl and was willing to take her in. No matter what happens in the future, she will face it with the girl.

   "There are too many people, let's forget it, let's go back first."

   On the way back, Xin You casually flipped through the newly bought travel notes, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was quite interesting, and gradually became fascinated by it, until she was reminded by Xiaolian that she realized that the Shaoqing Mansion had arrived.

  Getting off the carriage, Xin You carried the book and walked in slowly, while Xiao Lian whispered beside her, "Second Miss is over there."

  Duan Yunhua also spotted Xin You, and walked over without thinking.

  Xin You looked at the girl approaching aggressively, and stood still.

  Her expressionless face was like sparks falling into a frying pan, instantly igniting Duan Yunhua's suppressed anger: "Kou Qingqing, let me ask you, what happened yesterday?"

   In just one day, life is turned upside down. Even with his brother comforting him, Duan Yunhua still couldn't accept it.

  Xin You quietly looked at Duan Yunhua for a moment, then said calmly: "Grandmother said, don't mention what happened yesterday. If Cousin Hua really wants to know the details, you can ask grandma or uncle."

  Duan Yunhua brows upside down: "You clearly know that grandma and father won't speak!"

   "Oh, then I don't want to say it." Xin You looked cold.

   "You—" Duan Yunhua gritted his silver teeth angrily, and forcibly restrained the urge to slap that calm face, "Kou Qingqing, don't be too complacent!"

  Xin You was silent for a moment, then asked, "What is Kou Qingqing proud of?"

  If you think about it carefully, these words are a bit weird, and only Xiao Lian can hear them.

  Xiao Lian bit her lip, looking at Duan Yunhua with anger and tears in her eyes.

  The bones of her girl are still in the dark cave, and it is unknown when she will be buried in the ground. Her young girl, what else can she be proud of?

   "Kou Qingqing, it turns out that all your cuteness in the past was just pretending."

  Xin You smiled: "No more than Cousin Hua, as domineering as ever."

   "How dare you say that about me!" Duan Yunhua was furious, and his raised hand was held back by the maid.

   "Girl, go back to your room, if the old lady finds out—"

  Duan Yunhua's anger was suddenly stuck, and he couldn't hold back until his face turned blue.

   "Just wait!" After saying this, Duan Yunhua walked away in a huff.

  The servant girl hurried to catch up, but was pushed back by the furious Duan Yunhua.

   "Girl, the second girl will still trouble you." Xiao Lian frowned.

  Xin You smiled: "I'm afraid she won't trouble me."

  Xiao Lian blinked in doubt.

  Xin You didn't explain, but said: "Let's go, go sit with the third girl."

  Duan Yunling felt like she was dreaming in the past two days. Hearing that Biao girl is here, please come in.

   After chatting for a while, Xin You said bluntly, "I want to ask cousin Ling for a favor."
