Chapter 53 Xiao Hui
Huangfeng Courtyard, a place full of strong young men, was surprised to find a pretty young maidservant.
The eyes of the group of apprentices in blue robes widened in astonishment.
Shen You stared at the little maid, her eyes wide with disbelief.
He recognized the little maid!
When Aunt Dou was seriously injured by Huang Yaoshi, he went to ask for medicine for her. When he encountered difficulties, it was this little maid who stepped in to help him out.
Although it was only a brief act of kindness, he remembered it forever.
"What's this little girl's name again...?"
Shen You thought to herself, "Oh right, her name is Xiao Hui!"
Hui means orchid, and in later generations it was more commonly called orchid.
The young girl may seem to have a carefree personality, but when facing Pharmacist Hong and a group of apprentices in green robes, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she refuted everyone until they were speechless. Her straightforward nature was like an orchid, pure and noble.
"How did she get here?" Shen You wondered.
At this moment, Xiao Hui had already approached. The group of women in green looked at each other in surprise. They were clearly excited to see Xiao Hui coming, but no one dared to go over and speak to her.
Yao Shan patted Song Zhiqing on the shoulder: "Second Junior Brother, this young lady has come to our Huangfeng Courtyard for some reason. Why don't you go and greet her?"
"You want me to do it again?" Song Zhiqing smiled bitterly.
"Otherwise, if I go, will I scare her away?" Yao Shan scratched the back of his head and grinned.
"All right."
Song, the educated youth, shook his head and walked over with a smile.
"Young lady, I am Song Zhiqing, the second disciple of Huangfeng Academy. May I ask what brings you to our humble academy?"
Xiao Hui was looking around with sparkling eyes when she turned her head and saw the elegant Song Zhiqing walking in front of her. She exclaimed in surprise.
"ah!"
She turned away in embarrassment and covered her face, only daring to peek at Song Zhiqing through her fingers with great difficulty.
"Young master, you're too kind... I'm just a maid, my name is Xiao Hui, and I'm here to help our young lady..."
Her voice, which had been clear and loud just moments before, was now as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Doing favors for your young lady?"
Seeing Xiao Hui's appearance, Song Zhiqing gave a slightly embarrassed smile:
"May I ask... which family's young lady you are?"
Xiao Hui took a few deep breaths, finally calming herself down. Mustering her courage, she turned to face Song Zhiqing, her face still flushed, and said with a proud tone:
"It's the eldest daughter of the Lin family!"
These words caused a slight stir among the crowd.
The Lin family of Rongcheng is one of the three major families. Unexpectedly, a young maid from the Lin family came to Huangfeng Courtyard so early in the morning.
"So it's the Lin family."
Song Zhiqing calmly smiled and said, "Miss Lin is not only beautiful beyond compare, but also a natural martial arts prodigy. I have heard about her before."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Hui was very happy to hear what Song Zhiqing said. Although she was still shy, she had regained some of her natural charm and nodded to Song Zhiqing in a very casual manner:
"You're quite knowledgeable."
Song, the educated youth, was both amused and exasperated, and chuckled softly:
"You flatter me."
He then asked, "So what did your young lady instruct you to do?"
"Oh, right!"
Manager Xiao Hui remembered why she had come, raised her head and looked around, saying:
"I'm looking for a young master named Shen. Is he here?"
However, her view was blocked by the large-sized Aunt Dou, so she didn't see Shen You.
She turned to the apprentice in blue who had brought her there and called out, "Brother Han, didn't you say Young Master Shen was in Huangfeng Courtyard? Why haven't I seen him?"
The apprentice in blue lowered his head and said very honestly:
"I saw it with my own eyes yesterday; Elder Huang took him into Huangfeng Academy. He is right here; there is no mistake."
Shen You now knew that Xiao Hui had come for him.
While wondering about the situation, he also sized up the apprentice in blue who had spoken, finding him somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that the man was the same apprentice in hemp clothing who had followed Pharmacist Hong yesterday, and his name seemed to be Han Shu.
Han Shu and Hong Xiugu came to participate in the Ma Yi Examination with Pharmacist Hong, but they kept a low profile. Unexpectedly, it was he who brought Xiao Hui here, which can be considered a bit of fate.
"It must be because Elder Hong is presiding over the main hall, and he's with Elder Hong, so naturally he's staying in the main hall as well. When Miss Xiao Hui came looking for me, he just happened to bring her along." As Shen You's mind raced, she had already guessed most of the truth.
Of course, ordinary people are definitely not qualified to enter the inner courtyard. But the Lin family seems to be extraordinary, even a little maidservant can receive considerable respect when she comes.
"Young Master Shen..."
Song, the educated youth, thought for a moment, then suddenly said in surprise:
"Are you here to see Junior Brother Shen You?"
His gaze involuntarily turned over, wondering how the commotion in the courtyard these past two days could all be related to Shen You.
At that moment, Shen You also stood up.
"Miss Xiao Hui, did you come for me?"
Shen You stepped out from behind Aunt Dou, smiled slightly at Xiao Hui, and cupped her hands in greeting:
"Miss Xiao Hui helped me a great deal at the pharmacy earlier, and I will never forget it!"
"Oh! Young Master Shen!"
When Xiao Hui saw Shen You, she exclaimed with joy, then said somewhat flusteredly:
"Why are you being so polite to Xiaohui? Xiaohui is just a lowly maid; I shouldn't accept such treatment!"
Shen You smiled: "You helped me, so you're my benefactor! I don't care about little maids or head maids; I only recognize benefactors or enemies!"
Shen You is a transmigrator who believes in equality for all and never looks at ordinary people of low status with prejudice.
This is what makes him stand out from everyone else in the world.
"Young Master Shen, you haven't changed at all. You're still as kind and gentle as before, and you treat Xiao Hui very well."
Xiao Hui's face was flushed, and she seemed quite touched.
"previously……"
Shen You raised an eyebrow and her gaze toward Xiao Hui tightened slightly.
Could it be that Xiao Hui and that Miss Lin...?
Xiao Hui then said, "By the way, Young Master Shen, we clearly brought you to Renxin Hall, so why did you...?"
Xiao Hui's eyes were full of curiosity, and Shen You quickly coughed.
"Ahem, Miss Xiaohui, let's discuss this privately later!"
Shen You dared not reveal her background to everyone, after all, she didn't know where the mastermind was watching her from behind the scenes.
Until we figure out who's behind turning me into a pharmacy apprentice, continuing to pretend to have amnesia and obediently being a green-robed apprentice is probably the only viable strategy right now.
Shen You changed the subject, saying, "Miss Xiao Hui, so what brings you here? Just to see me?"
"Oh, right!" Xiao Hui suddenly remembered and said, "Young Master Shen, my young lady sent me to deliver some silver to you to express her gratitude for saving her life!"
"Silver?" Shen You was taken aback.
Xiao Hui placed a large package hanging from her slender arm on the ground.
Boom!
That's all!
She opened the package, which contained several hundred taels of gleaming silver that reflected a bright luster in the sunlight.
All the women in green were stunned.
