Only this green, not disappointing the spring

The next morning, Xiao Shitou came to Pan Guiyuan carrying a small bag.

Shangguan Qingyue, who had just finished exercising, took the warm towel handed to her by Xiangxue and wiped her sweaty cheeks. Her whole face was rosy and full of vitality.

The two of them entered the hall together, and only when they were curled up on the soft and comfortable sofa did Shangguan Qingyue ask:

"What's in the bag?"

The little guy breathed a sigh of relief, shook his short legs and said:

"I packed some delicious snacks. I want to go see the little beggar. Ruoxi, are you willing to come with me?"

He frowned, looking sad.

"The beggar is almost well now and can't stay in the clinic any longer. I feel sad when I think about him having to continue begging..."

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but sigh softly, recalling a line of poetry he had read before: When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer.

The country of Da'an has enjoyed good weather and good harvests in recent years, but what does it matter to the people who have no land or houses?

Life was still miserable, with not enough food to eat and medical care to pay for. If they could not make ends meet, they had to sell their children. If both parents died early, the children left behind had to wander and beg in order to survive.

Shangguan Qingyue rode his donkey Xiaohua through the streets and alleys all day long, and saw countless beggars.

She unconsciously fell into deep thought, thinking about what she could do for these beggars. But after thinking it over, she felt that she was too weak to bear such a heavy burden.

Little Stone was standing by and saw her frowning and biting her lower lip from time to time. He thought she was worried, so he asked:

"Ruoxi, don't you want me to get too close to that beggar? I know that he has an unknown background and will definitely not make friends with him casually.

I just wanted to go see him and say goodbye to him properly..."

Shangguan Qingyue casually picked up a green orange, peeled it, broke off a slice and stuffed it into the little guy's mouth. She held her chin with both hands and watched him finish eating before asking:

"Is it sweet?"

Little Stone couldn't help but shudder because of the pain. He could hardly open his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, okay."

"Oh, then eat the rest." She handed over the orange with a smile.

Looking at the oranges right in front of him like a flood of beasts, the little guy couldn't help but reach into the bag he brought, intending to eat a piece of cake to suppress the sourness in his mouth.

However, Shangguan Qingyue's eyes were always fixed on him, not giving him any chance.

In the end, he was defeated by the unspeakable bitterness and reluctantly admitted:

"I lied. This orange is too sour to swallow. Ruoxi, please stop teasing me."

"That's more like it. You clearly don't think that way in your heart, so why do you always say one thing and mean another?

Do you really want to help that beggar, but are afraid of causing trouble to your family? You will not grow tall if you are so worried at such a young age!"

The little guy scratched his head shyly and smiled foolishly.

"Then Ruoxi, how can we help him?"

"It's hard to say. Let's go and have a look first before making a decision. Did you have enough breakfast? Do you want to eat something else?"

The little guy said shyly:

"I'm full. But can I have something sweet? The orange was so sour that it still makes my mouth uncomfortable."

After they packed up their things, they took Bing Ling and got on the carriage and went out. Xiang Xue was left standing outside the gate, watching the carriage go farther and farther away. She couldn't help but sigh: Oh, it's good to know martial arts, so that you can follow the young lady anytime and anywhere.

She is now a completely different person from when she was in the village. She is neatly dressed from head to toe. Her face, which used to be rough and dark due to the sun and rain, has become white and smooth.

The gatekeeper was very respectful to the maidservant next to the second young lady. He said flatteringly:

"Sister Xiangxue, we servants should just do our duty. The Second Miss is kind and sensible, and she will take your actions into consideration.

That... I heard that the glass house in Pan Gui Yuan has been built and it emits colorful light when the sun shines on it, but is it true?"

The hottest topic of discussion among the servants in the mansion these days is the fascinating glazed house, and the servant has been itching to hear about it for a long time.

But as a man, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to see it with his own eyes in this lifetime. He could only ask the people in Pan Guiyuan to find out more about it to relieve his regret.

Xiangxue immediately gave up the idea of ​​learning martial arts when she heard this. She said proudly:

"Of course it's true. The lady has entrusted all the matters of the Glass Room to me! I won't say any more to you. I have to go to work!"

The servant got anxious when he heard this.

"Good sister, I'll just take up an incense stick of your time to tell me.

You don't know that the maids in the mansion dream of going to Panguiyuan to work. Unfortunately, the second young lady does many things by herself, and the number of maids and servants in the courtyard is the smallest in the whole mansion."

He swiftly pulled a small stool from behind the door and placed it in front of Xiangxue. He then bolted the side door and sat aside, pretending to listen attentively.

Xiangxue chuckled and was in a good mood, so she sat down and started chatting with the servant.

For a moment, the people who were in charge of sweeping the front yard, tidying up the garden... and even a few guards who were not on duty all gathered around. Everyone was standing or sitting on the ground, listening with great interest.

Suddenly someone asked:

"Miss Xiangxue, what exactly is the purpose of our second young lady building that glazed house?"

After taking a sip of the hot tea handed to her by someone, Xiangxue smiled mysteriously and said softly:

"I can't tell you for now, and don't bother me. I won't say a word about anything that the young lady asked me to keep secret!"

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: When winter comes, the whole mansion will know the wonderful use of the glass room! Oh, the feeling of keeping a secret is really fun!

Just as she was about to end today's chat, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The gatekeeper subconsciously stood up quickly, and the people around him immediately dispersed, picked up the things in their hands and started to work.

The servant opened the side door and looked out, then said in surprise:

"Ah, it turns out that the cousins ​​are back!"

Seeing that there were at least ten carriages following the two men, he quickly opened the door and respectfully welcomed the people in.

The two Baili brothers were dusty and looked tired, but their eyes were bright and energetic. This time, they returned with a full load!

More than a month ago, the two brothers went to the south, for no other reason than to help Shui Yunjian purchase rare and delicious fruits.

Winter is coming soon, and there are almost no fruits in the north that can be kept. There is no other choice except to provide guests with peach and pear nectar.

Shangguan Qingyue thought about it and finally decided to try to see if she could buy passion fruit, oranges or lemons that were easy to store.

The brothers Baili Jinlin and Baili Jinheng would certainly not miss such a great opportunity to show off.

In this way, Baili Nanqing's plan to have a good talk with her two nephews had to be put on hold. She had no choice but to comfort herself that her two nephews' outing was also a rare experience, which was better than just focusing on their love affairs.
