Clouds and Moon Shadow

Mo Shaoshang had no idea what Gu Qingyue was thinking. He only heard Gu Qingyue's praise and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was afraid that the dishes from Wenxianglou would not satisfy the girl in front of him. After all, he sincerely wanted to thank her.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't come to Lizhou during the time when Wenxianglou was open. Otherwise, he should have at least seen Gu Qingyue at Wenxianglou and known that she used to be the accountant there, and he must have eaten all kinds of dishes.

But none of that mattered to Mo Shaoshang. Whether it was the life-saving grace he had received before or the care he had shown for Mo Ji's business, or even... he just couldn't help wanting to get closer to the girl in front of him.

Seeing the other person nod in satisfaction, Gu Qingyue assumed they also highly praised the food at Wenxianglou. She smiled good-naturedly in agreement.

"I heard from Manager Liu that Young Master Gu has not yet received a few medicinal herbs. I have already sent capable people to look for them, and I expect to get back to you soon. Young Master Gu, please do not worry."

As Yingyu entered with the menu, Mo Shaoshang spoke as he reached out to take it and handed it to Gu Qingyue.

He then raised his hand to signal her to order.

Gu Qingyue paused for a moment, but did not refuse, and looked down at it.

To be honest, she came up with the menu herself, and she knows exactly what's on it, but she can't show it now.

After a short while, she ordered the food, handed the menu back to Yingyu, and subtly gave her a meaningful look.

He was signaled to pay attention to what was happening outside.

Yingyu lowered her eyes slightly and stepped back.

"Does Young Master Mo often come to Wenxiang Pavilion?" Gu Qingyue turned around, saw Mo Shaoshang looking her up and down, and asked.

"It's not often, only two or three times. I have a deep impression of it, especially the unique tea and snacks, which are very good. Young Master Gu should try them more."

"Sure, I've tried it too, the taste is quite unique."

Adhering to the principle that if you don't mention the important point, I won't either, the two of them chatted back and forth for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a single useful sentence.

However, Gu Qingyue was not in a hurry. She would always find a way to understand his situation. At the very least, the Yue Department was already investigating and would eventually find out.

Gu Qingyue was certain that this seemingly gentle young man was actually a cunning and ruthless person.

After the meal, Mo Shaoshang invited Gu Qingyue to sit down at the tea table before tentatively inquiring about her private affairs.

"Young Master Gu is so young yet his medical skills are so remarkable. He must have been taught by a renowned physician. I admire him greatly."

Mo Shaoshang turned over the overturned teacups on the tea table one by one, picked up the tea canister with great elegance, and prepared to brew tea. He raised his head slightly and said casually.

Gu Qingyue only noticed his long, jade-like fingers. In her heart, she sighed a thousand times. This so-called gentleman of ancient times was indeed as gentle and refined as jade. He was a masterpiece from the inside out, including his elegant fingers and movements. Even his neatly trimmed nails were so beautiful that they made people forget the mundane.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue simply smiled and did not answer the question.

“Young Master Mo is truly a dragon among men. Mo Ji Pharmacy has spread throughout the Great Chu and Nanzhao, which is even more admirable. Young Master Mo can manage such a large pharmacy all by himself. I am just a small doctor, nothing special,” Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and then added.

"Hehe------" Mo Shaoshang chuckled noncommittally upon hearing this.

"I've heard that Young Master Gu is currently serving in the Lizhou military camp. Speaking of which, I am also a medicinal herb supplier for the Lizhou military camp. I hope Young Master Gu will take good care of me in the future."

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "No problem."

"I heard from Liuyan that our medicinal herbs this time came from the Nanzhao Medicinal Herbs Merchants Association. I don't know who manages our Nanzhao Medicinal Herbs Merchants Association. Is it the Mo family?"

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, then, not wanting to beat around the bush, asked directly.

"To be honest, Young Master Mo, I often need some rare medicinal herbs, but unfortunately they are often hard to find in Da Chu. If possible, I would like to look for them in Nan Zhao."

"The Herbal Medicine Merchants Association? Young Master Gu has heard of it too? To be honest, I, Mo Ji, was one of the three directors of the association ten years ago. Unfortunately, some changes occurred within the association, and I am now just an ordinary member. Currently, the association is managed by Pan's Herbal Medicine Shop. However, Pan's has always kept a low profile. As far as I know, they only manage the internal affairs of the association and do not participate in the annual herbal medicine selection. External sales have always been handled by Zhang's Herbal Medicine Shop, which is also a director."

Mo Shaoshang originally did not intend to reveal the matter of the Nanzhao Herbal Medicine Merchants, after all, the changes that occurred back then were no small matter and involved a great deal of people.

But seeing Gu Qingyue's inquisitive look, he couldn't help but speak up. Deep down, he couldn't bear to see her looking disappointed.

Of course, he had to keep the matter of Mo Ji a secret.

"Zhang's Pharmacy? Zhang Junqian?" Gu Qingyue couldn't help but recall the mission she first performed in women's clothing.

Later, I heard from Mu Yun Chu that they had sent people deep into the spy network, and that mission was considered very successful.

She was secretly pleased for a while.

"You know Zhang Junqian?" Mo Shaoshang was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Zhang Junqian, as the young master of Zhangji Pharmacy, rarely appears in public. Few people have seen him. Of course, it should be said that he rarely shows his real name. He is extremely cunning and a formidable opponent of Moji.

Gu Qingyue composed herself and replied, "I don't know him. I've heard of Zhang Ji, but I didn't know he was a director of the Nanzhao Herbal Medicine Company."

"Young Master Gu, you must be extra careful when you see this person in the future," Mo Shaoshang said, taking a sip of tea from his purple clay teacup. He showed an expression of admiration and amazement, but he did not intend to say anything more about this person.

Gu Qingyue wanted to ask more questions, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea, realizing it wasn't the right time to delve too deeply into the matter.

When the three of them came out of the private room, the lights were already on, and the lobby on the first floor was packed.

Gu Qingyue looked around with satisfaction, silently calculating the income of Wenxianglou.

"Hero! It really is you!"

"Son!"

Before I had even finished descending the stairs, two somewhat familiar voices came from the window area of ​​the lobby.

Gu Qingyue paused slightly, but after a moment, she continued downstairs as if nothing had happened.

"Hero! Wait for me!" Seeing Gu Qingyue quicken her pace to go downstairs, the people from the other side also rushed over, and the fat man in the lead blocked Gu Qingyue's way.

Mo Shaoshang, who was following behind Gu Qingyue, stopped and curiously looked at the two people in front of him.

More precisely, they were sizing up the chubby boy who had suddenly appeared.

"It really is you, hero! Would you do me the honor of a chat?" The fat man's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Young master, benefactor! It's been a long time!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, a loud female voice came from behind him. The voice was so loud that Gu Qingyue wanted to close her ears; it was too noisy.

As the woman spoke, she pushed the fat man aside and stepped forward to take Gu Qingyue's hand.

Gu Qingyue instinctively took a step back, trying to avoid the groping hand in front of her.

Unexpectedly, he retreated too quickly and bumped into Mo Shaoshang behind him.

"Ah------" Gu Qingyue quickly turned around to try to steady herself, but she tripped over the other person's foot and leaned against the man's chest. A unique fragrance of a young girl entered Mo Shaoshang's nose, and he was slightly stunned.

Gu Qingyue: ...That sturdy chest!

Mo Shaoshang: ······

Flowing smoke: ······

What happened? Why did Young Master Gu suddenly throw himself into his master's arms?

Qin Yuanyuan: My handsome young man! I was groped!

When she realized that her handsome young man was leaning against the man's chest, the man had already put his hand on the young man's waist.

Let me go!

That man looked like a weak and useless piece of trash, yet he dared to touch the waist of a handsome young man!

She wouldn't allow her handsome young man to be defiled, not even by a man with any good looks!

"Let go!" Qin Yuanyuan shouted angrily.
