The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 757: worry
Chapter 757 Worried
Could it be that… Xiao Rongyan was injured?
Before Bai Qingyan could think more, Nanny Tong brought Zeng Shanru into the courtyard. Zeng Shanru was going to report the mine matters to Bai Qingyan today and was on his way to Boyun Courtyard… when he heard Bai Qingyan calling him, he hurried over.
“The eldest lady Zeng Shanru is here!” Chuntao whispered to Bai Qing.
Bai Qingyan frowned and ordered Lupin: “Uncle Ping, go to the front and watch. If there is any news, have someone bring it over immediately!”
“Yes!” Lupin responded and went out.
Bai Qingyan was restless, but just as Lupin said… there were many people in the front yard, and if she went out like this, if the news got to the prince, there would be trouble again.
Zeng Shanru entered the room and saluted to Bai Qingyan through the screen: “Miss, Mr. Xiao’s people are here again, saying that this batch of weapons is still with them… I took the initiative to give it to you. After all, we just transported a batch away, and this batch is not needed now.”
Bai Qingyan nodded, signaled Chuntao to give the box of ink powder and the recipe to Zeng Shanru behind the screen, and said, “The thing in this box is called ink powder. I heard that if you use it when refining weapons, it will make the weapons indestructible. You can try it! There is also a blacksmith master who lives outside the courtyard. Go find Butler Hao and take him away! But he can’t speak the language… maybe you need to spend more time.”
Zeng Shanru opened the ink powder and took a look at it. He picked up a small handful with his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it. He looked up and said to Bai Qing, “This ink powder… seems to have been recorded in some miscellaneous collection. The Yan State once used a powder made by Queen Ji, called fine steel powder. The record said that any weapon made with this fine steel powder is indestructible. Queen Ji had planned to build an indestructible team for the general of the Yan State. Unfortunately… the foolish Emperor Yan suddenly woke up and killed Queen Ji, and the recipe for the fine steel powder was lost.”
Zeng Shanru quickly closed the box, bowed and said, “Oh, by the way… It is recorded in the biography of ‘Marquis Yongle of Wei’ written by Mr. Min Qianqiu that Marquis Yongle was fortunate enough to obtain a blade from the imperial court of Dayan, which is indeed indestructible. If you are interested, you can ask Mr. Min Qianqiu who is staying in our house.” Zeng Shanru said.
“Has the State of Yan ever used it?” Bai Qingyan rubbed his fingers back and forth. Whether this matter was true or not, he should ask Xiao Rongyan.
“That’s right!” Zeng Shanru responded.
“Got it. Take the ink powder recipe with you and go to the mountain with the blacksmith we hired to try it first… If it really works, we can use this method to refine weapons in the future.” Bai Qingyan ordered.
“Yes!” After Zeng Shanru bowed, he left the upper room of Boyun Courtyard in an orderly manner.
As soon as Zeng Shanru went out, she saw Yue Shi, who was supported by someone and followed Doctor Hong into Boyun Courtyard. She remembered that Yue Shi was the silly guard beside Mr. Xiao.
Zeng Shanru was always a friendly person. After greeting Doctor Hong with a smile, she nodded to Yue Shi.
Yue Shi’s face was tense, and he just nodded slightly to Zeng Shanru.
Seeing Doctor Hong bringing Yue Shi into the upper room, Zeng Shanru said something to Nanny Tong and went to find Butler Hao to bring them up.
Yue Shi was helped into the house, and heard Bai Qingyan instructing Chun Tao to take everyone out and guard the door to prevent anyone from coming in.
Yue Shi looked unhappy and had cracked lips. As soon as he left, he heard Bai Qingyan ask, “But what happened to your master?”
Hearing Bai Qingyan’s voice, Yue Shi’s eyes turned red and he knelt down and kowtowed: “Please, Miss Bai, save our Majesty!”
Yue Shi said so, so the injured person was not Xiao Rongyan. Bai Qingyan slowly loosened his hands that were tightly clasped on the agarwood table and asked, “I heard that Emperor Yan was injured…”
“That’s right!” Doctor Hong nodded. “The medicine I gave Emperor Yan will make it difficult for the wound to heal. Before I left, I warned him not to get hurt! I never thought…”
Bai Qingyan understood that Xiao Rongyan sent Yue Shi ahead, probably to pick up Doctor Hong.
“Doctor Hong, would you be so troublesome to pick it up with Yue?” Bai Qingyan asked Doctor Hong.
Yue Shi had never expected that Miss Bai would let Doctor Hong go with him before he could even speak. His gratitude was expressed in words: “I will never forget Miss Bai’s kindness!”
“That’s not a problem!” Doctor Hong said, “It’s just that I won’t take that little girl Yin Shuang with me. Please take good care of her, young lady!”
“Of course! Doctor Hong should go back and pack up now and tell others… Doctor Hong went out this time to find medicine for me.” Bai Qingyan said.
Doctor Hong responded, stood up, bowed, and left first.
Bai Qingyan looked at Yue Shi who was kneeling on the other side of the screen and asked, “I haven’t heard from your master for several months. I wonder if your master is doing well?”
“Miss Bai, everything is fine with the master!” Yue Shi said.
In this way, Bai Qingyan felt relieved.
She nodded: “Yue Shi must have traveled day and night to get here, go eat something, take a rest, and follow Doctor Hong in the carriage!”
“Yes!” Yue Shi kowtowed three times to Bai Qingyan, stood up and staggered out of the upper room of Boyun Courtyard, and was supported by someone to walk out of the courtyard.
Chuntao came in from outside with a cup of hot tea and asked Bai Qingyan, “Is the guard beside Mr. Xiao injured? Or is Mr. Xiao injured? Why are you in such a hurry to ask for Doctor Hong…”
“Not really…” Bai Qingyan said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao found a medicine that he thought would be good for my cold. Doctor Hong looked at the medicine, but it was not properly preserved and could not be used. Doctor Hong is about to go out to collect the medicine.”
After hearing what Bai Qingyan said, Chun Tao suddenly realized something and said with a smile, “Then Mr. Xiao is really thoughtful!”
Hearing the teasing in Chuntao’s tone, Bai Qingyan pushed the mahogany box containing the jade pendant to Chuntao’s hand and said, “This is something your cousin asked someone to bring back for you! Take a look…”
When Chuntao heard the word “cousin”, she ignored her shyness and quickly picked up the box and asked, “My cousin? Is he the cousin who celebrated his birthday?”
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Chuntao’s ears immediately turned red with shame. She opened the box and took a look…
Bai Qingyan saw that the jade inside the jade pendant was transparent and extremely precious, and knew that Chen Qingsheng had put a lot of thought into it.
Although Chuntao didn’t know as much about jade as Bai Qingyan, the fact that her cousin sent someone to deliver something back meant that her cousin and the third girl were definitely safe, so she could rest assured.
“Miss…” Chuntao’s face was filled with shyness, and she asked timidly, “Cousin, did you bring back any letter?”
“He only told me to give you the jade pendant, but before Chen Qingsheng left… he said that he would marry you when he came back!” Bai Qingyan smiled, “When Chen Qingsheng comes back, we’ll get married! So you don’t have to worry about it all the time!”
