Chapter 93 – Inspection (1)
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know that Jing Yi was right at the door.
Young Master Xiang glanced at the direction of the door and chuckled softly, “Yes, Jing Yi has a bad temper.  Later, I will teach him a lesson for you.”
Su Xiaoxiao quickly waved her chubby hand and said, “No need for that, he is your younger cousin after all. Don’t make him unhappy because of me, an outsider. He’s indeed a little cold towards me, but he treats you quite well.”
……
After Su Xiaoxiao left, Jing Yi walked in.
“Biaoge1, you don’t plan to go back to the capital?”
1Biaoge (表哥) : older male cousin via female line.
Young Master Xiang did not say anything, only handed Jing Yi a secret letter.
After Jing Yi opened it, his expression became solemn: “Unexpectedly……”
Young Master Xiang said: “All the people we sent out have been completely defeated, we couldn’t return. And I’m recuperating…… is a perfectly suitable reason that will not arouse suspicion from the capital.”
Jing Yi wanted to say something but he stopped midway.
Young Master Xiang asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jing Yi bluntly said, “You have revealed a little too much to her.”
Young Master Xiang smiled and said, “You mean when I told her that I was from the capital? If she intentionally approached me, her expression wouldn’t look so natural when I said that I was from the capital.”
Jing Yi suddenly realized, “It turned out that biaoge was testing her.”
Young Master Xiang gently rubbed the prescription that was left by Su Xiaoxiao and said, “Her medical skills are too suspicious. Back then, Gugu2 also had a lung disease. The treatment process was much longer and more difficult than mine, and even more life threatening. However, as of now, it seems that I was just over sensitive. She was not sent by anyone to approach me, she was just a little girl who received guidance from an expert.”
2Gugu (姑姑) : paternal aunt.
“She is just a woman, she’s already married.” Jing Yi corrected.
Young Master Xiang frowned his eyebrows, he felt somewhat unexpectedly and said, “She’s not that old ah, and she’s already married?”
Jing Yi: Hehe, did he think she just got married? Even her children had been born, three babies!
After receiving the medical consultation fee, Su Xiaoxiao went to the front room to find Shen Chuan.
Shen Chuan gave her the list of tomorrow’s order of snacks as usual. Su Xiaoxiao took the list and gave him three taels of silver.
“What is this for?” Shen Chuan asked.
“Commission (yongjin).” Su Xiaoxiao said.
“Ah?” Shen Chuan didn’t understand, “What gold(Jin)?”
Su Xiaoxiao said: “It means that I can’t let you help me for nothing, you can consider it as a reward. You are helping me in placing the next day’s order for the snacks and taking care of Young Master Xiang’s medicine, I haven’t had time to thank you properly.”
Shen Chuan waved his hand and said, “It’s just a simple matter. If you say it like this, then you regard me as an outsider. Am I the kind of person who does it for money? Besides, my father really wants me to show my face in front of the young master more. I still have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. This time you have cured the young master’s illness, my father is also very grateful to you. He just didn’t say anything to you personally!”
Su Xiaoxiao pondered, “That young master……”
Shen Chuan looked around and whispered, “He has an outstanding background, have you also discovered it? It’s a pity that no matter how I ask, my father just refused to reveal his identity!”
Curiosity could kill the cat, and the less you know about some things, the better.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Just accept it, otherwise I won’t dare to ask for your help again in the future.”
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was so persistent, Shen Chuan had no choice but to accept it.
Even though he was the dean’s son, in fact his father was strict with him. He only got 500 wen as pocket money in a month, and even if his mother secretly gave him some money, it was also less than a tael.
The feeling of earning money.….. seemed to be pretty good!
The two of them went together to wake up Su Ergou in the side room.
——Su Ergou seemed to regard the academy as a good place to catch up on sleep, he was spreading himself out on a chair and sleeping so soundly.
Su Xiaoxiao patted this silly younger brother to wake him up.
Su Ergou wiped his saliva and said in a daze, “Jie, have you got the ordered list?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “We can go back now. Young Master Shen, farewell.”
