The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 13
"One must know how to be content, and stop when it's time to stop."

"Miss, what did you say?" Ming Liu followed beside Chu Qing, looking at Chu Qing with a face full of ashes, blinking his curious big eyes.She didn't hear the young lady's words as thin as a mosquito just now.

Chu Qing smiled slightly: "It's nothing." In her heart, there is no need to explain to others one by one.

However, her casual answer caused Ming Liu's mouth to deflate, and Dou Da's tears dripped down. "Miss, is there something wrong with Mingliu that made her angry, so she doesn't like Mingliu anymore?"

Chu Qing stopped, turned around and looked at Ming Liu, who was so pitiful, she was really a little overwhelmed.Reluctantly said: "You are fine, there is no problem."

"Why does that miss avoid Ming Liu now?" Ming Liu raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qing with tears in his eyes, his aggrieved expression almost drowned out Chu Qing: "In the past, Miss would say anything to Ming Liu, Ming Liu is also the one who understands Miss the most, but now that Miss doesn't say anything, Ming Liu doesn't understand Miss's thoughts any more."

The corner of Chu Qing's mouth twitched, and he put on a straight face: "Ming Liu, have you forgotten what I said?"

Ming Liu was stunned, and suddenly thought of what his young lady said to him a few days ago.Miss said, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, if you can't do it, send her back to Madam and find another place.Thinking of this, Ming Liu's face turned pale, and he pursed his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything more.

Chu Qing glanced at her, and said lightly, "Wipe your tears away, let's go."

"Yes, miss." Ming Liu didn't dare to delay, raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears hanging from his face, his eyes were as red as a bunny's, obediently followed behind Chu Qing.

Arriving at the pre-arranged place, a few peasants had already arrived, squatting at the base of the wall smoking the tobacco they had grown at home, and the smoke from the tobacco rod blurred their figures.

"Yo! Is the girl here?" The person who saw Chu Qing first was the leader of the group.After several contacts, Chu Qing found that this person was quite influential among them.

With a slight chin, Chu Qing smiled and said: "It seems that the business is going well, and you guys are also in a good mood."

The men smiled "hehe", and saw the leader take out a somewhat dirty cloth bag from his arms and hand it over to Chu Qing.Under Chu Qing's signal, Ming Liu took it carefully.

The weight of the bag made Mingliu curious, but remembering what Chu Qing said before, he dared not open it privately.

At this time, the man said: "Girl, according to your instructions, there are 500 taels of silver in it, please order."

Chu Qing nodded in satisfaction and didn't order.On the other hand, Ming Liu opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the man's words, and looked at the back of his lady's head involuntarily, a little dazed.

500 taels of silver, this is a lot of money.She has never seen so much silver, and the monthly bill of a young lady is only seven taels, which is considered to be the most in this city, but now there are 500 taels here.Thinking of the amount of silver, the little girl's hands trembled a little.

"Miss, don't you want to order?" The man asked curiously when he saw the joy in Chu Qing's expression, and he didn't let the servants count.

Chu Qing smiled calmly: "No, I trust you all. That's it, our cooperation is over." After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.

However, as soon as she took a step, the man stopped her in embarrassment.

Chu Qing glanced at the thick, dark arm blocking his way, raised his eyebrows, and didn't speak.Ming Liu was so frightened that he hugged the cloth bag tightly and stood next to Chu Qing.

"Hey, girl, don't be afraid, I just want to say, if there is such a business in the future, don't forget our brothers." The man saw Ming Liu's fear, and hurriedly withdrew his hand to explain.

Chu Qing smiled, the neat white teeth were very dazzling in the sun, even the freckles deliberately painted on the face were covered up, the man was stunned. "Don't worry." After she finished speaking, she took Ming Liu with her and left.

On the way, Mingliu was holding the cloth bag, looking around with her round eyes like thieves, as if people around would suddenly rush over and snatch the things in her arms.She looked at Chu Qing, hesitated to speak a few times, the incomprehension in her heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

Suddenly, Chu Qing stopped and turned to look at the five-story tea house standing in the center of the intersection.This teahouse is the largest and best teahouse in Anning City.It is owned by Hu's family, another big merchant in Anning. It has a very grand appearance, with carved beams and painted buildings. According to modern standards, it is a five-star tea house.

This tea house named 'Ting Feng Tasting Tea' is the place where Shui Qianliu met her.Will he really apologize to her in public the day after tomorrow?In this regard, Chu Qing reserves her opinion.For things that are not really realized, she will keep one or two points.

"Miss?" Seeing that Chu Qing was fascinated by watching 'Ting Feng Tasting Tea', Ming Liu couldn't help shouting.

Chu Qing came back to her senses, looked at Ming Liu, and smiled lightly at her: "Go back to Chu's house."

"Oh." Mingliu responded obediently, and then murmured in a low voice: "Miss, it's true, why don't you just say go home, and even say go back to Chu's residence."

Although these words were light, they still entered Chu Qing's ears along with the wind.She laughed at herself in her heart. She still didn't regard Chu Qing's parents as her parents, nor did she regard Chu Qing's home as her home. 'Perhaps, I still don't know how to get along with the so-called relatives. ' She justified herself in her mind.

As the two were walking, Chu Qing stopped again, looked at Ming Liu who was looking at him in a daze, and said, "Remember, don't mention today's matter to anyone, especially the 500 taels, even the master Ma'am can't."

Although he didn't understand Chu Qing's intention, Ming Liu still nodded.

At sunrise, the river is more prosperous than fire, and the river is as green as blue in spring.

Chu Qing and Shui Qianliu met for about three days, and about half an hour before the agreed time, Chu Qing got into the small sedan chair at home and went to 'listen to the wind and drink tea'.Accompanying her was naturally her little girl named Liu. As for Cui Cui, this girl was more clever than loyal, so Chu Qing did not take her into his confidant.

She didn't tell her parents about this agreement, and she just asked Ming Liu to tell Li Shi that she was going out for a walk before she left.Mrs. Li felt sorry for her, and was afraid that she would be reluctant to buy something she liked outside, so she took another five taels of silver and handed it to Ming Liu, so that she could take care of her young lady.

The number one son in the world, Shui Qianliu, wanted to apologize to her, the number one beauty in Anning City. On such an occasion, Chu Qing would naturally not smear her ashes to cover up her stunning appearance.

Today, Chu Qing dressed up a bit, wearing a blue emerald smoked sweater and a pleated skirt scattered with water mist and green grass.On the head is a Japanese bun, and a hollow gold hairpin is inserted obliquely, adorned with dots of purple jade, and tassels are sprinkled on the green silk.

The flesh is fat and the breath is orchid, the eyes are full of spring water and clear waves, fragrant and tender, the dimples are more delicate than flowers, the fingers are like sliced ​​green onions, the mouth is like red dandelion, and every frown and smile touches the heart and soul.
