The queen is so fierce

Chapter 16
"Put it here, put it lightly, this vase is very expensive..."

From the brand-new yard on the right, the voice of Jing Ming directing the maid to "renovate the house" can be heard constantly.

Xu Shoujing thought to himself, this guy is quite diligent, and then turned his eyes to the left.Some old but large-scale courtyard walls are adjacent to the courtyard that Aunt Chu bought for him. At the main entrance, a plaque with three big characters 'General's House' is shining brightly.

"Is your house here?"

"Yes."

Xu Shoujing looked at his little apprentice who blinked at him, and couldn't help falling into contemplation.

Well, inexplicably accepted an apprentice... Is she still a second-generation official?

Wait a minute, shouldn't you...

Yu Jiaoshuang put Yu'er on the ground, the big white cat shook its body, and jumped up the fence with four flexible legs, then turned over and disappeared.

She was about to pull Xu Shoujing into the mansion, but after a few pulls, she failed to pull, but instead pulled herself back and looked back at him suspiciously:
"Master, don't you want medicinal herbs, what are you doing?"

Xu Shoujing's eyes were weird, his expression was like eating a lemon, and he said in a low voice:
"You shouldn't be... at the scene of the competition in front of the imperial court."

The imperial competition has invited a lot of princes and nobles. If it is really a second-generation official, it is not surprising to be present.

Yu Jiaoshuang blinked her cute eyes, and pointed her thin lips with her scallion-like index finger, and questioned:

"I'm there, what's the problem?"

"No...no problem." Xu Shoujing silently looked away.

Now that makes sense, no wonder he got entangled after seeing it only once. He thought his charm was on the rise again. After the title of the little lover and brother Qing of the junior sister and senior sister in the door, there are many more good homes in Zimo City. The popular lover of women...

That's where the difference is.

The general's mansion is very large, at least larger than Xu Shoujing's courtyard, but there are not many servants and maids in it.

The general was out for many years, and he didn't return a few times until he died in battle. The entire general's mansion was managed by Mrs. Yu alone.

Mrs. Yu likes quietness. Except for the most basic personnel, she does not hire maids and guards, and does everything herself.

This also led to Yu Jiaoshuang not being able to throw everything to Jing Ming like Xu Shoujing, she had to go to the storeroom to search for medicinal herbs.

In the dusty warehouse, there was a rumbling sound of "crashing", and the smoke and dust were even blown outside the house, followed by a rapid cough.

Xu Shoujing was speechless for a while, then said, "Can you use me to help?"

"No, no, no." A small head stained with dust emerged from the door of the warehouse, with curved eyebrows and bright eyes:

"Master, just wait."

Xu Shoujing had no choice but to keep looking at the sky.

After about half a column of incense, Yu Jiaoshuang walked out with two delicate wooden boxes in her arms:

"Master... I only found the blood-thirsty grass and the moon spirit flower. My mother smelled it for me when I was a child. Where did it go..."

Xu Shoujing didn't take the two wooden boxes, but reached out and carefully helped Yu Jiaoshuang wipe off the dust on her face, which made the girl's cheeks get hot, and quickly lowered her head, her voice soft and authentic:

"Master...what are you doing..."

Xu Shoujing clapped his palms, shook off the dust, took two wooden boxes, and said in a low voice:

"You've got a little ash on your face, just get it off for you, what's wrong?"

"No... nothing..."

The little apprentice's face turned even redder, his little hands rubbed the corners of the skirt back and forth, staring at the toes of his shoes in a trance.

Xu Shoujing looked at her like this and smiled for a while before starting to check the two elixir.

He had to admit that deep down in his heart, his impression of this honest little girl was no longer what it was when he first met him, and he even thought she was cute.

At first, I only thought that she was chattering, and she was completely a young lady.

But getting along this day made Xu Shoujing understand that in fact, she is also a very ordinary girl, who can be shy, angry, and not scheming to be nice to someone.

Seeing Yu Jiaoshuang like this, Xu Shoujing couldn't help but want to treat her gently.

It felt like... like trying to spoil my daughter.

Yes, it's my daughter!
I don't know if it was because Yu Jiaoshuang kept shouting "Master, Master", but Xu Shoujing, who was originally her peer, unconsciously raised her seniority.

One master and half father, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Xu Shoujing looked at the herbs piled up in the box, but his mind was soaring.

Yu Jiaoshuang didn't think about as much as he did. After the initial shyness, she began to seriously recall the whereabouts of Longxiaoye——

"Ah, I remembered, my mother only has one piece of ambergris leaf, and if that thing is kept, there will be a steady stream of fragrance coming out, so my mother put it in the boudoir as incense."

Xu Shoujing was stunned for a moment, and asked involuntarily, "Only one piece? Then you will give it back to me?"

Yu Jiaoshuang frowned, "Is this thing very precious?"

Xu Shoujing recalled the dragon bodhi tree that he had ridden since childhood, and said without hesitation:
"It's not precious."

"Then give it to Master, it's useless to keep it anyway."

"..."

Xu Shoujing thought to himself, Duer, you are really a filial daughter.

He didn't refuse at the moment, but secretly reminded himself to pick a few ambergris leaves and send it when he returned to Longyumen next time.

-

Xu Shoujing followed Yu Jiaoshuang through the long and narrow veranda and came to a main house in the back house.

There are scattered pieces of jewelry on the table in the house, but only a luxurious bronze mirror stands alone on the dresser.

There was a sweet scent of amber and wood in the air, and Xu Shoujing, who grew up riding a dragon bodhi tree since childhood, was all too familiar with this.

"Master, sit down first, I'll look for it."

With that said, Yu Jiaoshuang bent down and started doing whatever she wanted to this mistress's boudoir.

Xu Shoujing was willing to help, but he was not good at disturbing things in the boudoir. He pulled out a red lacquered chair and sat down, silently watching the girl bend over to face his back.

Well... the curve is nice, but there's room for growth.

"Ouch..."

Yu Jiaoshuang was rummaging, and accidentally bumped her forehead into the cupboard. In pain, she subconsciously covered her forehead with two small hands.

Unexpectedly, this caused the front body to lose its balance and lie directly on the ground. Because the lower body was kneeling all the time, the hips were raised even higher.

"..." Xu Shoujing.

No, disciple, you are seriously ill.

"Cough cough." Xu Shoujing cleared his throat, secretly thinking that the gentleman would not bully the dark room, looked away embarrassedly, and said with a dry smile, "What about your mother?"

Yu Jiaoshuang covered her little head and stood up. It seemed that she hadn't found the whereabouts of Longxiaoye. She lowered her head and said:

"My mother was called away by the clan and won't come back—"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sound of slow and lazy footsteps outside the house.

"Shuang'er, I'm back."

"!!!" Yu Jiaoshuang.

Xu Shoujing was speechless, didn't you say you wouldn't come back?
Yu Jiaoshuang's face was embarrassed, and she felt strange in her heart. Normally, Yu Zhiqiong was called away by her family, and she was gone for a whole day. Why did she come back so quickly this time?

Strange is only second, and more is panic.

You know, she is now in her mother's boudoir with a 'stranger man'. If this is discovered, there is no way to explain it...

No, can't be found!
Glancing around, Yu Jiaoshuang's eyes stayed on the narrow and dark space under the bed. She didn't have time to think about it, but she grabbed Xu Shoujing with a quick, jade-like pounce, and desperately pushed him there. side push.

Xu Shoujing looked at her in astonishment: "What are you doing?"

"What else can you do... hurry up and hide..."

Yu Jiaoshuang was sweating anxiously, the footsteps were getting closer, and she didn't dare to speak loudly.

"No, why do you hide it? Just explain it clearly..." Xu Shoujing was speechless, "If you are discovered like this, it will be even more difficult to explain."

Yu Jiaoshuang couldn't hear anything now, she gritted her teeth and said:
"It's okay if you don't get discovered."

Xu Shoujing still didn't really want to hide in his heart, it felt like stealing something...

But seeing that she was about to cry, she sighed and got into the narrow bed.

Yu Jiaoshuang breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman walked in.

She was wearing a long cyan-colored water cloud dress, her thick long hair was coiled up, her jade hands were folded around her waist, she took a slight step or two, and her full clothes couldn't help shaking. Autumn water, ripe beauty temptation.

Seeing Yu Jiaoshuang, Yu Zhiqiong frowned slightly, her red lips as bright as peony pursed, and reprimanded:

"Shuang'er, I've been looking for you... What are you doing in my room?"

"Ah... um, I..."

Yu Jiaoshuang calmed down and was about to say the prepared excuse when she heard a "bang" behind her and the sound of objects colliding.

"..."
