Although Qin Yixuan had already left, knowing Xue Qing's identity, how dare Zheng Mingyuan let her do anything. During the epidemic, saving people was like fighting fires, and I didn't think about it so much, but now that everything is recovering, Xue Qing is taking the place of Qin Yixuan, listening to Zheng Mingyuan and Xiao Shuo's reports every day.

Don't dare to work as a concubine, Zheng Mingyuan can underreport if he can. Xiao Shuo is different, he is familiar with Xue Qing, and he also knows her ability, and he will ask her opinion when he encounters some difficult questions.

Zheng Mingyuan is not stupid, and he can see that the friendship between Xiao Shuo and Xue Qing is not ordinary, but our Zheng Zhizhou is a good person, and it may also be a friendship that shares adversity and suffering. He looked for Xiao Shuo and reminded: "Master Qiao, no matter how powerful Concubine Li Niangniang is, she is also a member of the emperor's family, and now that the emperor is not here, we as foreign ministers really shouldn't disturb Niangniang too much." ”

Seeing that he was kind, Xiao Shuo also said openly and honestly: "Lord Zheng, when the emperor is away, you can call Miss Li, she doesn't like the title of Concubine Li, but she can't bear the emperor's liking." ”

"This ......" Zheng Mingyuan's eyes widened, and he was about to say something, when he saw Xiao Shuo's eyes, he hurriedly held back his words. He understood, this is a royal secret, which is not enough for outsiders, but it is the result of his kind reminder.

Xiao Shuo said again: "Miss Li can bear it, it's best not to let her be idle." But there are no 100,000 urgent things, so you must not disturb her in the morning. ”

Although he didn't fully understand, Zheng Mingyuan still nodded again and again: "Thank you, Lord Qiao, for mentioning it." ”

It didn't take long for Zheng Mingyuan to realize the meaning of "don't let her be idle", because this concubine couldn't be idle.

There was nothing important to deal with that day, this Yizhou Mansion had just experienced a catastrophe, and there were no new things, so Zheng Mingyuan saw the scene of Concubine Li chasing Lord Qiao and Lord Zhu with a sword.

"Xiaolong, Xiaoshuo, it's been more than ten years, why haven't your martial arts improved at all?" Xue dissatisfied, "It's better to stay when Red Sakura was the prince!" ”

Zheng Mingyuan can understand it now, Master Qiao and Lord Zhu are old acquaintances with Niangniang, and the relationship is quite good, both adults call Niangniang by her name, no wonder they know Niangniang so well. And the red cherry blossom in Niangniang's mouth is the emperor, and the two adults occasionally call the emperor's pseudonym.

Every time he saw their appearance that he was not afraid of death, Zheng Mingyuan would feel a chill on his back, and he unconsciously touched his neck, but fortunately, it was still there, firmly.

He was really afraid that he would be spoiled by them, if he accidentally called the emperor's pseudonym one day, or called the name of the mother, the emperor would definitely be angry, thinking about that picture, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Snow ...... Xue Qing," Xiao Shuo begged for mercy, "I'm a civil official, and besides, my talent for martial arts has never been good, so you can train Xiaolong!" ”

Hearing this, Xiaolong shouted: "Xiao Shuo, why are you so unrighteous!" The two of us used to train together! ”

Xiao Shuo once again caused trouble: "Xiaolong, you are the commander of the forbidden army, if your martial arts are not as good as your subordinates, they will be unconvinced!" ”

Xiaolong was not stupid, and replied: "Xiaoshuo, we are brothers who have worshiped the target, and we are blessed and enjoy hardships together!" How can you watch me fall into the clutches of the devil alone? ”

"Zhu Xiaolong, what kind of devil's claws are you talking about!"

Zheng Mingyuan watched it interesting from the sidelines, this righteous and awe-inspiring mother in the face of the epidemic, this usually serious adult, is now playing like a child. Thinking of their close relationship with the emperor, he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like for the wise and martial emperor to fight with them.

At this time, Xue Qing also stopped, and she also thought of the days when several people were happy together, thought of Bingyan, and thought of red cherry blossoms, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Xiao Shuo's eyes were sharp, and he quietly pulled Xiaolong's sleeve, Xiaolong also understood, and hurriedly interrupted: "Xueqing, in fact, we are still a little progressive, I don't believe you and we will know if you practice seriously." ”

Xue Qing put away the flower language sword: "You can practice by yourself, I'll go see Qiao Anping." ”

"Xue Qing, let's go together." Xiao Shuo suggested.

"Okay."

The appearance of Qiaofu has not changed, but it has lost its former brilliance and grandeur. The Qiao family suffered heavy losses this time, all the available silver taels were used in the epidemic, and only some shops and yards remained, but just after the epidemic, the shops had not yet opened, and the yards could not be sold, and Jiang Caiqing also reduced and reduced expenses.

Fortunately, the imperial court rewarded some silver taels, although it could not compensate for the loss, it would not be overstretched. The blessing in disguise is that thinking of the Qiao family's exploits this time, Qin Yixuan gave the Qiao family the title of imperial businessman, as long as they survive this period of time and start doing business again, the future is limitless.

Qiao Anping transferred some food from Jin Hongwen this time, just after the epidemic, Qiao's jewelry store will not have business in a short time, so he plans to change in the direction of people's livelihood. The Qiao family has taken the lead in contributing money and efforts in this epidemic, and as long as their shop opens, it will definitely meet customers.

After sharing this hardship, Qiao Anping also completely regained his heart, and got along with Jiang Caiqing day and night, and also saw the truth. Therefore, the second elder of the Qiao family did not give any more face when he saw Xueqing this time, of course, this is inseparable from her identity and her contribution to the epidemic.

Jiang Caiqing knew early on that Qiao Anping had someone in her heart, and from the performance of several people, she could also see that this person was Xue Qing. She wasn't stingy and gave the two of them room to talk alone. In her opinion, Xue Qing is Concubine Li's mother, and Qiao Anping has to die if she doesn't give up.

Qiao Anping said with a smile: "The last time it was just you and me was in the capital, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”

Xue Qing looked up at the sky: "It's been more than ten years, and we have all changed. Your lady is very good. ”

"Yes, she's fine." Qiao Anping said with emotion, "Xueqing, to be honest, I don't know why I was so infatuated with you at the beginning, from the first time I saw you, I was like a demon." Now that I think about it, maybe it's because you're different from other women I've seen. "Parkway

Sighing lightly, he continued: "I treat you sincerely, but when you choose to run away from marriage, I should die, but I just can't let go." Later, in the capital, I witnessed the affection between you and him, and I knew that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get your heart, and I chose to leave, but I still thought of you in my heart. It wasn't until recently that I realized that I couldn't ask for it, and I was unwilling to form an obsession. ”

Xue Qing smiled: "It doesn't matter what kind of feelings you have for me, the important thing is that you know who you should be good to." ”

Qiao Anping's face showed a happy and satisfied look: "You are right, I will treat Cai Qing well in the future, and I will not live up to her affection again." But Xue Qing, you have missed so much, don't miss the emperor again, we can all see his heart for you. ”

Xue Qing said lightly: "I know, I have a sense of proportion." ”

After saying that, Qiao Anping regained his poisonous nature and sneered: "What kind of proportion do you have, you are old and still picky, and the emperor still wants you." ”

Xue Qing glared at him angrily: "Qiao Anping, I think you are underwhelmed!" ”

"You can't beat me."

"You have the ability not to cheat!"

"Hmph, I'm not going to let you go everywhere now."

Having said that, if Xue Qing really had something, he would still rush forward without hesitation. Even if he knows who he should love, this woman who once made him unforgettable will always have a place in his heart, and no one can erase it. It's just that from now on, he will hide her in his heart, and he will turn his former love into friendship.

Of course, they can't fight, and even if they really want to fight, it's not the time, because Jin Hongwen and others are here. Half a month after the people of Yizhou moved back to the city, there was not a single patient, and the epidemic was completely controlled. Jin Hongwen and others also rushed to visit Qiao Anping as soon as possible.

Xue Qing looked at a few of them, and that friendship was definitely no worse than that between her and Xiaolong Xiaoshuo and others. When they first met, both parties were four men and one woman, but now, the other party is missing Jin Xueyan, and this side is ......

Put your thoughts away, not wanting to affect the cheerful atmosphere with a sad look. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xueqing found a reason to take Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo to say goodbye.

Before leaving, she approached Jin Hongwen and said, "Snow Goose, she's fine." You Lie is obedient to her, and the entire Ten Thousand Swords Villa spoils her. ”

Jin Hongwen nodded in gratitude.

Another half a month has passed, and still no patient has been found, and the other doctors have left one after another, except for the local doctors in Yizhou Mansion, only Xueqing, Shi Jiuyou, Wan Dafu and Yan Dafu are left. The reconstruction of Yizhou Mansion is also intensifying, and everything is on track.

On this day, Dr. Wan and Dr. Yan also came to ask Xue Qing to resign. For these two highly respected doctors, Xue Qing treated them with the courtesy of elders, and told Zheng Mingyuan to send officers and soldiers to escort the two to the territory safely.

The next day, Shi Jiuyou also proposed to resign, but Xue Qing stopped him. Shi Jiuyou risked his life and boiled himself into a serious illness, although he was cured by medicine, he also injured the fundamentals, and his body was not as good as before. He doesn't have martial arts, so she really can't rest assured that he is running around like this alone.

"Master, come back to Wanjian Villa with me."

Shi Jiuyou glanced at her dissatisfiedly: "Why, do you also think that the old man is useless?" ”

"What's the matter," Xue Qing showed her coquettish ability, holding Shi Jiuyou's arm and said, "I think Master, you have worked hard all your life, and you have worked hard in this epidemic, it's time to enjoy Qingfu." ”

"It's not that you don't know, old man, I like to tinker with these herbs."

"There are a lot of herbs in Wanjian Villa, you can live with peace of mind, you only need to be responsible for research, collecting herbs, these rough work, let You Lie and Gu Yibo go, and exercise them!" Xue Qing said without a red face and without a beating heart.

Shi Jiu thought about it, stroked his beard and said, "It's okay, it's time to exercise more of those two bastard boys." ”

Xue Qing arranged the matters at hand and handed them all over to Zheng Mingyuan, and it happened that Xiao Shuo was also explaining the matter to Zheng Mingyuan. Everything has been settled, and the follow-up matters are urgent, they can't stay here forever, and the rest is up to him.

Before leaving, Xue Qing explained: "Lord Zheng, when Yizhou Mansion returns to its former prosperity, it will be the day when adults will be in the ascendant. ”

Zheng Mingyuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

"If there is any progress, remember to report to the emperor in time."

"Xia Guan understands."

"Then let's go."

"Xiaguan Gong Niangniang!"

Looking at the backs of everyone in the distance, Zheng Mingyuan turned around and walked into the city gate. The Yizhou capital will soon return to its former prosperity, soon.
