Chapter 215 A Gecko
Zhao Su came out after changing his clothes and went out the door with Zhao Sum. The time of year was already at the end of May, the days were long and the nights were short, and there were still many people on the road after nightfall.
Marquis Qingyun had already left the house long before them, but they still learned where he was going through the house steward.
It was at the Sip Fragrance Lounge in North City, which was known for its elegant environment, that Marquis Qingyun had already sat down. The fellows brought in refreshments on delicate trays and began to report the names of the dishes on the side.
At this time, someone else walked in outside the door, it was the fellow outside the door who introduced a middle-aged woman with an outstanding temperament, it was none other than Lady Doctor Chen of Hui An Tang.
“You’re here?”
Marquis Qingyun beckoned towards her, a marquis of the hall, but he even stood up.
Mistress Doctor Chen called out “Marquis” and sat down on the opposite side as well. She then looked around the room, “Is the Marquis the only one here? Where is Mrs. Sun? Didn’t the Marquis say that she would also come?”
Lady Sun was Marquis Qingyun’s cousin, married to Sun Shaotang of the Guanglu Temple as his wife.
“Oh, she had some business at home and just now temporarily went back again.” Marquis Qingyun cleared his throat as he spoke. Looking across the room, he brought the fellow over again, “Re-announce the names of the dishes, pick the ones that you have done the best job and report them.”
“No need, I don’t eat ……”
“How can you not eat? This moment are meal time, moreover you have done me a great favor, I have already said that I will treat you to dinner.”
Marquis Qingyun said as he gestured the names of a few dishes, then quickly dispatched the fellow out. It was as if he was afraid that if he slowed down a bit, the man would be gone.
Mistress Chen pursed her lips and hung her head to look at the cup on the table, “I’ve already said that it was just a healer’s duty, how can it be considered a favor? Marquis really doesn’t need to be so polite.”
“This is not polite? It’s just the money for a meal, it’s nothing to me. I’d like to genuinely do something for you, but I’m afraid I’ll surprise you.”
Marquis Qingyun gradually lowered his voice at the end of his sentence, and even quietly glanced across the room when he was done.
Doctor Chen’s face turned red and her back straightened, “What is the Marquis talking about? I’m just a doctor who sees patients and sells medicines, where is it worth marquis thinking about like this?”
“But I am sincere,” Marquis Qingyun clenched his hands, “I am a military man, when I was a teenager may still know some of the wind and snow, so many years busy with public affairs, has long become a big rough man. I will not say what curved words, but all said out, there is not a false word, are sincere.”
House talking voice is not high, but can not resist this elegant house is located in a courtyard, four sides of the room are private rooms, quiet very.
Outside the window under the hipped corridor Zhao Su pressed against the wall to hear here, couldn’t hold back his excitement, towards the guard of the Marquis of Qingyun, Su Ting, who he waved aside, said thank you, and then walked outside to the table in the store hall where Zhao Sum was seated.
“Guess who?”
She asked before the person even sat down.
Zhao Sum sipped a mouthful of tea and supported the table, “Dr. Chen?”
Zhao Su was surprised, “How did you know?”
Zhao Sum looked askance with blank eyes, “You follow the Emperor here and there every day, but if you have a bit of a mind to stay at home, how could you not know?”
Zhao Su got a big red face from his words. “How are you talking here? What do you mean by following the Emperor to and fro every day? I’m an imperial guard, who do I follow if not him?”
Zhao Sum grunted, “On the birthday festival the emperor himself gave you as a musician, and took the time to make a private visit with you to go out to eat and play, but I’ve never seen which imperial guards as you have such a decent one!”
At the birthday festival, the emperor gave Zhao Su a big headache, there must be discussion outside, but because the emperor also gave her more than one person accompaniment, so these speculations are not so clear.
After Zhao Su returned to the mansion, she wasn’t questioned too much, so she thought it wasn’t as serious as she thought.
How could she have expected Zhao Sum to mention it at first?
Not to mention that he actually knew that the Emperor had taken her out for a dinner cruise?
Zhao Su immediately became weak. Shivering, she drank a mouthful of cold water to suppress her shock, then asked him, “How do you know so much?”
Could it be that Little Flower said it?
“Didn’t Ning Jade meet you guys?” Zhao Sum frowned, “Could it really be the Emperor?”
Zhao Su froze for half a moment, the cup was put down, “You’re swindling me?!”
“I can be sure without swindling you.” Zhao Su made a stern face, “Besides the Emperor, who else would you be so respectful to? Besides, you were supposed to be on duty that day, to show up at a place like that while on duty, who else but the Emperor?”
Zhao Su took another sip of cold water.
Zhao Su looked at her for a moment and suddenly poked her elbow, “I’m not going to be the uncle of the state, am I?”
The water in Zhao Su’s mouth nearly spewed out of her nose.
She drew out her handkerchief and printed her mouth, “You think so!”
“Then what are you two?”
“A simple gentleman-subject relationship.”
Looking at her serious face, Zhao Sum took his body back, “That’s good!”
Zhao Su asked him again, “Have you seen Ning Jade in the past few days?”
The dishes came up. Zhao Sum raised his chopsticks and looked deeply at her, “Aunt Ning opened a silk store on the next street, which is the place I have to pass through to get to the Central Military Office. Ning Jade is there from time to time.”
Zhao Su frowned, Aunt Ning actually chose to open a store in the place where their father and son must pass through to go to the government office? Did she do it on purpose or was it a coincidence?
“Do you want the lanterns?” Zhao Sumi suddenly pointed to the vendor selling lanterns outside the door and said, “There was a time when you were a child that you inexplicably loved buying lanterns.”
“Really?”
Totally don’t remember.
……
Zhao Su did not expect the object of Qing Yun Hou’s date to be Chen Han, but she was surprisingly quite happy to know this result, her first impression of Chen Han was good, with her ability to win the medical leader of the Flower Moon Club, and self-reliant and self-reliant to open a medical center, just this point alone has been very admirable. In the past few months of contact, it had also been known that she was an uncommon person, and the fact that Marquis Qingyun was pursuing her was more than reassuring.
Even though the fire of gossip burned in her heart, she and Zhao Sum still did not pay too much attention, and picked a few lanterns after dinner and returned. Back in the mansion, Zhao Sum also went up to Qi Yu courtyard to smooth her a pot of peach wine before going back.
Zhao Su was eager to know the follow-up of the date of the Marquis of Qingyun, the next morning specially ran to the main courtyard to look for him for breakfast, but unexpectedly the Marquis of Qingyun was earlier than her, and had already left the house. It turned out that there was a military report from the northwest, and early in the morning someone came to urge him to enter the court.
Zhao Su then put in a few buns to bring into the palace, eating while walking, thinking to see if they can meet him.
Just past the Qianqing Gate, on the face of a line of people, a look at the Marquis of Qingyun really in the head, but he was wearing a glittering dragon robe in front of the emperor, she lifted out of the front foot and immediately put back, the bag loaded with buns to the back of the paper bag to hide, sticking to the corners of the wall would like to be a transparent person.
The emperor’s footsteps slower and slower, to the front even stopped, his eyes only slightly swept forward, can be good to fall on the body of Zhao Su disguised as a gecko.
