Chapter 9 Give me this little guard

Mu Yunxiao has many retainers under his command, among whom the two he values ​​the most are Mr. Xuan Su and Nan Huaijin. Mr. Xuansu's original name was Dongfang Xu, and his courtesy name was Xuansu. He was known as Mr. Xuansu. He was knowledgeable and talented, good at strategy, and proficient in the art of Qimen Dunjia. However, he was aloof and arrogant, and usually did not interact with others. Nan Huajin was the "dark and sloppy" man from Kyoto whom Bai Xinyin had met before. It was rumored that he had the talent to govern the country, was eloquent, tactful, humorous, and approachable. These were the brief introductions in the information Nan Feng gave Bai Xinyin. Mr. Xuan Su entered the room and sat down, and a servant served him tea. Bai Xinyin took a look at him secretly: he was nearly thirty years old, with a handsome face, a calm demeanor, and a gentle and elegant look in a blue shirt. Mr. Xuan Su also looked at Bai Xinyin, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. Mr. Xuan Su took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Yunxiao. Mu Yunxiao didn't even look at it, but motioned for Bai Xinyin to unfold the paper: a portrait appeared before his eyes. "The young master in Yaowang Valley." Bai Xinyin took a look and shouted. "Are you sure?" Mr. Xuan Su asked anxiously. "Yes." Bai Xinyin was sure. How could she not recognize her? The girl in the portrait was Qingdai, her maid since childhood. Bai Xinyin has four personal maids, all of whom were rescued by Bai Xinyin when he traveled with his father since they were young. One year, there was a flood, and then a great epidemic, and his father saved many people along the way. Among them, several children were homeless, including Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Nanqiao. His father felt sorry for them and brought them back to Yaowang Valley to help with work. They followed Bai Xinyin since they were young and regarded Bai Xinyin as their master. Bai Xinyin named them: Zixuan, Zisu, Qingdai, Nanxing, and Duruo. Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Nanqiao were their names. Zixuan and Zisu usually took care of Bai Xinyin's daily life. These two girls were good at needlework and did not want to learn martial arts or medicine. They were only willing to serve the young master. Bai Xinyin did not force them. Qingdai is diligent, smart, and methodical. Xiyin let her get in touch with medical skills and learn household management from a young age to help herself. Bai Xiyin opened her medicine shop, Xinglintang, which has stores in various countries, similar to modern pharmaceutical chain stores. She let Qingdai be in charge of management, and in the past two years, it has blossomed all over the country. It can be seen that Bai Xiyin did not make a mistake in choosing her. Nanxing is active, cheerful, and loves to practice martial arts. She also learned martial arts from Xiyin and became obsessed with it. The master said that she is a good candidate for martial arts and is on par with Xiyin. Although these people were Bai Xinyin's servants, they were better than brothers and sisters. Bai Xinyin never treated them as servants, but they were grateful for the grace of adoption, remembered their status, and never overstepped. Mr. Xuan Su took out the portrait, and Bai Xinyin thought: He is still investigating my aunt. In the past few days, Bai Xinyin asked Qingdai to replace her identity, wanting to see what the purpose of the person following her was. Qingdai is prudent and knows medical skills, so she will not be exposed. As expected, they got the portraits, but I don’t know what they want to do with them. "Your Highness," Mr. Xuan Su used his eyes to signal the prince whether to ask Bai Xinyin to leave. "This..." "Sir, please feel free to speak." Mu Yunxiao gestured. Bai Xinyin thought: You want to kick me out? But you pretend to be blind, thick-skinned, and fat. I'll just stay here and see what you guys are doing. Mr. Xuan Su continued, "The poison of the prince cannot be delayed any longer. Since he is from Medicine King Valley, he must be the young valley master. Should we send someone to invite him first?" Bai Xinyin listened to this and was secretly delighted: So the prince was poisoned, God is helping me. If I can help him detoxify, it won't be difficult to get a thousand-year-old blood ganoderma, right? Thinking of this, I felt much better. The haze of the whole morning was gone, and even the fact that I was cheated for eight lifetimes didn't seem like a big deal anymore. "Then do it immediately. Take my invitation and go to Yipin Pavilion. Prepare generous gifts." Mu Yunxiao ordered. Mo Changli went out and came back after a while. "What's going on?" Mr. Xuan Su asked. "The people in Medicine King Valley said..." "Say what?" "They said that the prince should go and invite him personally. They wanted to negotiate a condition with the prince before he would come. They said that we couldn't make the decision." "He's just a quack doctor. Is it necessary for the prince to go in person? Let me catch them and give them a good beating." Yan San said indignantly when he heard this. Bai Xinyin thought to herself: Well done, Qingdai. I’ll ask for the Blood Ganoderma directly when I come back. He turned around and glared at Yan San: I wonder who is going to beat whom? I didn't beat you lightly last time. Mr. Xuan Su looked embarrassed. Mu Yunxiao glanced at Bai Xinyin and asked, "Are you going?" Bai Xinyin felt guilty and lowered his head: Why are you looking at me? Mu Yunxiao: "Prepare the sedan chair and push the wheelchair. Ask Si Yu to go with us." Bai Xinyin's eyes widened: "You were still alive and kicking yesterday, but you can't walk today? No wonder you are working in the bedroom today?" Suddenly, she remembered that the genius doctor Si Yu was in the mansion. If she wanted to suppress something, she could still do it with the genius doctor's skills. The group came to Yipin Pavilion. Yipin Pavilion was open all over Jiuzhou, and Xiao Nanfeng had always been in charge of it. Qingdai led everyone to wait in the big private room of Yipin Pavilion. In the middle of the private room, there was a round table similar to those used for modern meetings. It was designed by Bai Xiyin and built by someone else. Everyone came to the box. Mr. Xuan Su looked around with a surprised look on his face. The box was very spacious, and the wall was hung with the works of the contemporary calligrapher Gu Shan Jushi. Regular script, official script, cursive script, running script, landscape, and figure paintings filled three walls. Gu Shan Jushi's calligraphy and paintings are considered masterpieces of the time, and it is difficult for people to find one. I heard that the emperor wanted to ask for a hairpin flowe,r sma,ll regular scr,ipt a few days ago, but he didn't get it. Qingdai glanced at everyone and thought: That was our master's daily practice, did it scare you? Then she motioned for the strangers to leave. Bai Xinyin was about to follow her out, but Qingdai stopped her and pretended, ,"Hey handsome guy, stay. What's your name? You look familiar to me." Bai Xinyin thought to herself: Can you not be so coquettish? I can't stand it. But she replied, "My name is Ah Si, and I'm from Taoyuan County. The young master once treated my mother's illness." "Oh, yes. Now I remember you have a sister. Is she okay?" "My parents have passed away, and my sister is sick and lives in the suburbs." "Well, I'm sorry to bring up something sad for you. I have nothing to do tomorrow, so would you mind going with me to see your sister?" Bai Xinyin did not agree. Qingdai looked at Mu Yunxiao. Mu Yunxiao said, "Since the young valley master is willing to help, I can allow you half a day off." Qing Dai said hurriedly, "Since we are from the same hometown, there is no need to avoid us." Bai Xinyin looked at Mu Yunxiao, and Mu Yunxiao motioned for her to stay. Chang Li: “…………” Yan San: “…………” Mr. Xuan Su: “…………” Si Yu: “…………” When everyone left the door, Mu Yunxiao got straight to the point: "What does the young lady want to discuss with me?" "I want you to agree to three conditions." Qing Dai said slowly: "First, when I am detoxifying the prince, no outsiders can be present. But I like my fellow villager, Brother Si, very much. He must accompany me. This way, I will be in a good mood and the treatment will be faster." Mu Yunxiao nodded: "That's fine."Understandably,t some doctors don't want people to learn medical skills. "Second, if I detoxify you, I will want your thousand-year-old blood ganoderma." Mu Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "Okay. What about the third one?" "Third, the poison has been removed. I want you to give me this little guard." Mu Yunxiao remained silent for a long while: "Miss, can you change the conditions? I can find you someone more handsome than this guard. Because this little guard serves you well, I really can't leave him." Bai Xinyin: Did you serve me well? Did I not pull out all your hair? Qingdai opened her eyes wide: "People say that the Rong Prince's Mansion has never married at the age of 23, and the dignified prince doesn't even have a concubine. It's only been a few days, and the master can't leave when he sees such a handsome man in men's clothes. Could he really like men? I dare not think... Bai Xinyin blinked at Qingdai and thought: I want to leave the palace, how can it be difficult for me? Can you change your request? Qingdai looked angry and pretended to be in a dilemma: "The prince took away someone's love." She seemed reluctant to say so and shed tears. She winked at her master and said: Master, I am running away for you, do you know? Otherwise, he will take a fancy to you and come back to hunt you down. Oh my god! What a good actor! I am still a member of the prince's palace. How can I take away your love? Oscar owes you a little golden man award. Bai Xinyin complained about Qingdai in her heart. "Everything else can be discussed, can you change the conditions, young lady?" Qing Dai paused for a moment, as if reluctant: "Then you can change him. You have to allow him to accompany me for a few days on weekdays." "That's fine. As long as he's free and willing to come." "Then let's change the conditions. I have a kind heart, but I can't force others to do things against their will." Qing Dai said, seeming to be in a dilemma. "In the next few days, Tianhonglou, the largest auction house in Kyoto, will auction a Kunlun Mountain Resurrection Grass. I hope Your Highness can help me get it. With Your Highness's power, it should be easy, right?" After saying that, he pouted and looked like he was kind-hearted. The resurrection grass of Kunlun Mountain only grows once every few hundred years. "It's easy, Qingdai, you can do it. Bai Xinyin wanted to laugh as she watched Qingdai act. "I will dive up to your trust!" Mu Yunxiao did not hesitate. "May I ask when we can start the detoxification?" "Tomorrow? I'll get ready and go to your house tomorrow morning. You can just take this Brother Si with you." "And there is also a consultation fee of 100,000 taels." "Okay." Mu Yun had no expression on his face.
