Chapter 11

Gong Yanlu didn't know the twists and turns in the grand master's mind, he raised his hand and waved at the young eunuchs behind him.

Seeing Gong Yanlu's gesture, the little eunuchs hurriedly stood up in a row, and each lifted the red cloth covering the tray in their hands.

There was a sudden gasp in the room, and Qing Yicheng frowned and coughed, dissatisfied with the performance of his granddaughters.

Qing Zhiyuan raised her head for a glance, then lowered her head halfway, suddenly she was a little uncertain about the purpose of the young master's visit.

What those little eunuchs were holding in their hands were actually pairs of beautifully crafted shoes.All sizes, embroidered shoes, boots are available.

Each pair is very exquisite. The shoes are made of brocades of various colors. Not only are they embroidered with complicated patterns with various gold and silver threads, but they are also dotted with many small rice beads and precious stones.

It can be said that such exquisite shoes can never be seen outside.Even in the palace, there are very few people who are so generous.

After all, rice beads are also pearls. Without the backing of strong financial resources, who would be willing to embellish such precious things on the upper of the shoe?
Qing Zhiyuan suddenly became suspicious, were these shoes really sent from the palace?Why do you send shoes here? What's the purpose?

After thinking for a while, Qing Zhiyuan didn't have any clue.

But at this time, Gong Yanlu spoke. "Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome. You are free to come forward and choose the shoes you like, which are suitable for you. These shoes are the samples for the palace to order this year. The queen thought that the grand master has made great achievements, so I sent them here first."

Hearing what Gong Yanlu said, the grand master didn't clear up the confusion, instead he became more worried and anxious, always feeling that something was wrong.

However, right now, he couldn't refuse.

"What beautiful shoes." Qing Zhiling couldn't help admiring.As early as those shoes showed their true appearance, she could no longer control her eyes.

Although she is the Grand Master's granddaughter, she is well-informed, but she has never seen such beautiful shoes.At that moment, a strong desire to take those shoes as my own emerged in my heart.

Unable to bear it, she was the first to run over, holding in her hands a pair of shoes that she had already set her eyes on.Turning around to look at the young master, she blushed and said in an infinitely shy manner, "Thank you, young master, I like it very much."

Gong Yanlu was embarrassed for a while, but immediately laughed, "Miss Qing, you just need to like it, uh, everyone, don't be too polite, come and choose."

The grand master had no choice but to signal everyone to go and choose.

There are not many unmarried ladies in the Grand Master's Mansion, there are six or seven in total.After they had chosen one by one, Qing Zhiyuan inadvertently saw a hint of disappointment in the eyes of the young master.

How is this going?Could it be that this is just an excuse to come here to deliver shoes, but in fact, who is he taking the opportunity to find?

As he was thinking about it, Gong Yanlu's gentle voice suddenly came to his ears, "Master, are there only these ladies in your house?"

Hearing Gong Yanlu's question, the grand master turned his head and glanced at the ladies sitting below.Finally, his eyes fell on Qing Zhiyuan who was wearing a half-worn jacket.His expression changed, and he frowned, "Zhi Yuan, come over and choose."

Qing Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect the Grand Master to speak on her own initiative.

Qing Zhiyuan's heart is very complicated about the Grand Master's affection.There is resentment and love.Over the years, the grand master cared so little for her that she lived a miserable life.But every time things get serious, the grand master will always come forward to stop her and ask the doctor to give her a diagnosis and treatment.

If it wasn't like this, maybe she wouldn't be able to grow up either.

However, since the grand master already knew that someone was bullying her, why didn't he come forward to stop it?This kind of thing of beating a stick and giving a sweet date is done very well by the grand master.But Qing Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out, what's the point of him doing this?

Lowering her eyes to hide the chaotic emotions in her heart, Qing Zhiyuan stood up and agreed weakly.

With her head down, Qing Zhiyuan walked slowly to the row of young eunuchs.At this time, there are about seven or eight pairs of shoes left, and except for a pair of deerskin boots, the rest are all embroidered shoes.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at the boots. These deerskin boots are very exquisitely made and look very warm, which suits her well.

But just when she was about to take those boots with her hands, she suddenly felt an eager look projected from Gong Yanlu.

Qing Zhiyuan's eyes changed, her hands turned, and she grabbed a pair of shoes next to her.Turning around, thanked him softly, retreated to his chair and sat down.

Gong Yanlu retracted his gaze in disappointment, and turned to look at the Grand Master.Arching his hands, he said: "Grand Master, since the matter here is over, I'll go back first."

"Master Hou, go slowly." The grand master got up and ordered the manager to send the little master away.

After Gong Yanlu left, Qing Zhiling excitedly stepped forward and grabbed the grand master's arm, and said eagerly: "Grandfather, these shoes are so beautiful, young master is so kind, such a good thing thinks of us first Grand Master's Mansion."

The grand master frowned, glanced at Qing Zhiling, and snorted, "Ling'er, a girl's house should look like a girl's house."

Qing Zhiling blushed with embarrassment.I don't quite understand, this grandfather loves her very much on weekdays, how could he talk about her in front of so many people today?
The grand master didn't care about the twists and turns in Qing Zhiling's heart, he glanced at everyone and left with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the grand master left, Qing Zhiyuan didn't want to stay any longer, and immediately left with Shui Yue and Shui Yun, not wanting to meet Qing Zhiling and the others and cause trouble for herself.

But after Gong Yanlu came out of the Grand Master's Mansion and got into the carriage, his brows frowned.After a long time, he raised his voice and said, "Go to another courtyard."

"Yes." The driver agreed, swiped his whip, and drove the carriage slowly away from Taishi Mansion.

The carriage wandered on the road for a while, as if deliberately going in circles.Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at a remote residential area.

This area is very quiet, there is no sound in broad daylight.The nearby houses are all big yards with three entrances and three exits.It looks ordinary on the surface, but there is a hidden mystery inside.

The carriage stopped at the back door of one of the houses, and the driver got off and knocked on the door.After a while, the door was opened, and a burly man stood up.After glancing at the driver, the latter took out a token and handed it over.

The burly man took the token and looked at it twice. After confirming that it was correct, he removed the threshold and let the carriage drive in.
