Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 120 Keeping an Appointment

"Yingfeng, tell them what we do and what our rules are," Gu Qingyue said, then got up and walked towards the guest courtyard, where a seriously ill patient was staying, and she wanted to go and check on him.

Gu Qingyue had just stepped out of the hall when Ying Feng, who had been standing outside the door, went inside upon hearing this.

The rest will be explained by Yingfeng.

The boy named Linlang, who had just been frightened, looked at Gu Qingyue's back with a mix of emotions. Years later, when he recalled that slender and straight back, so delicate yet so resilient, which had put him at ease, the gratitude he felt deep in his heart had never been forgotten.

Gu Qingyue went to check on the seriously ill man; he was still unconscious.

However, when she arrived, Doctor Zhang had already performed acupuncture on her. Now, Doctor Zhang was quite proficient in the acupuncture techniques he had learned from Gu Qingyue. Seeing the man's complexion had stabilized, Gu Qingyue nodded slightly. This made Doctor Zhang, who was looking forward to this, even more determined to follow Gu Qingyue and make a living.

Doctor Zhang happily put away the silver needles and followed Gu Qingyue out of the guest courtyard.

"The medicinal herbs that arrived this time will be used by those who haven't undergone body tempering yet. The herbs for the second body tempering are not yet complete. I will find some time to go into the mountains to look for them soon. I'm entrusting this body tempering task to you," Gu Qingyue instructed as she walked.

Doctor Zhang followed behind, panting, "Haha, no problem, little master. Can you help me take a look at that prescription? Why do I always run into problems when I'm making it?"

He readily agreed, this young master was now the most powerful doctor in his mind, and he had to stick close to this powerful figure. Thinking of the medical skills competition a year from now, his heart burned with excitement.

Looking at his obsequious smile, Gu Qingyue remembered what Rong Qingqing had said about blowing the window away, and she really wanted to let loose and pluck the old man's beard off.

That old geezer is such a troublemaker.

She sighed, then thought better of it, since the old man was still quite useful.

Approaching the pharmacy in the backyard, looking at the brand-new windows, Gu Qingyue felt like hitting someone again. How many new windows had there been already?

Glancing back at the old man, Gu Qingyue stepped into the pharmacy.

The old man chuckled and shamelessly followed him inside.

It was an hour later when I left the pharmacy.

She needed to get ready to accept Mo Shaoshang's invitation. After all, he was treating her, and it was at her own Wenxianglou restaurant; there was no reason for her to be late.

I rushed to take a shower and wrapped my chest up again, leaving me breathless. I also put a sticker on my Adam's apple; after all, I'm almost fourteen, and it wouldn't be realistic for a boy not to have an Adam's apple.

Alas! This is a sad story of self-inflicted suffering.

She needs to find some time to change into women's clothing. Now she at least has a little bit of money and a stable place to live. Otherwise, just the task of binding her breasts will exhaust her and cause chest tightness and shortness of breath as a side effect. It's not worth it.

After getting dressed and leaving the bedroom, Yue Ling reappeared at the door.

"Master, this morning the brother and sister were asking around about your residence, especially that woman. I'm afraid she might cause you trouble."

Yue Ling bowed and reported.

"Uh...why does she want to see me?" Gu Qingyue paused. "Could it be that I really knocked her unconscious? That doesn't make sense!" Gu Qingyue pondered as she walked.

"No, according to my inquiries, this Qin Yuanyuan has a great fondness for handsome young men," Yue Ling said, waiting anxiously for Gu Qingyue's reply.

"Preference for... handsome young men?" Gu Qingyue was surprised. "Does she want to cling to me?"

She finally understood why Yue Ling had hesitated to speak, but then she smiled and shook her head. Anyway, she wasn't a teenager, so what did it have to do with her?

Leaving the topic behind, Gu Qingyue walked briskly to Wenxiang Tower.

As soon as he entered, Manager Wang came to greet him.

"Young Master Mo is waiting for his master in the elegant room in the bamboo forest. He has just arrived about a quarter of an hour ago," he said before leaving.

Gu Qingyue nodded slightly and stepped up to the second floor.

Before we even reached the door of the private room, Liuyan came out to greet us.

"Please come in, Young Master Gu," he said, pushing open the door to the private room.

As soon as she stepped through the door, even Gu Qingyue, who was used to seeing handsome men, couldn't help but be stunned.

The man before her was still dressed in a moon-white robe, but the hem of the robe was embroidered with light gold patterns, and the collar was also decorated with the same pattern. His black hair was tied up high with a jade crown, and he had a tall and slender figure. One hand was behind his back, and he wore a wide robe with large sleeves. He had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were bright and charming, with a touch of dashing and unrestrained. Although there was still a trace of naivety and immaturity, he made Gu Qingyue freeze on the spot, unable to move her feet.

"Heh-------" The man laughed out loud as he looked at Gu Qingyue's expression.

"What are you laughing at?"

Gu Qingyue immediately snapped out of her daze. She had really been bewitched. Was this man trying to seduce her? He was dressed so elegantly and beautifully, and had a smile on his face. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was here for a blind date.

As soon as Gu Qingyue came to her senses, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance welled up inside her, and she had no time to hide it.

"Heh-----cough cough," Mo Shaoshang looked at the girl's embarrassed and unwilling expression with amusement, finding it even more interesting.

He knew that it was his appearance that had distracted her. He recalled the expressions of the women who had seen him in both Nanzhao and Dachu, which were exactly the same as those of the girl before him.

However, it is even more certain that what is in front of them is indeed a genuine young girl, not a man, because a man would not react this way upon seeing himself in this form.

Gu Qingyue composed herself and calmly walked over to sit down at the dining table.

In order to attract more wealthy customers, Gu Qingyue's Wenxianglou launched a series of dishes a month ago. The dishes are mainly light and exquisite. Taking the Cantonese and Jiangnan cuisines from her previous life as a reference, Gu Qingyue adjusted some of the flavors and brought out most of her secret recipes from her previous life as a gourmet. She also racked her brains.

Therefore, in addition to drinking tea and enjoying tea snacks, this private room now also has a large dining table behind a large screen on the other side, which can accommodate six to eight people for meals.

Mo Shaoshang was secretly surprised to see the girl regain her composure in the blink of an eye. Despite her young age, she was able to adjust her emotions quickly, which was truly remarkable.

"Thank you for keeping our appointment on time, Young Master Gu. It is my honor," Mo Shaoshang said, lifting his robe and sitting down with elegance and poise.

"I wonder if Young Master Gu has ever tasted the food and tea at Wenxianglou?"

Mo Shaoshang raised his hand to pour Gu Qingyue a cup of tea and asked softly.

"Yes, I've tried it, it's very good."

Gu Qingyue had composed herself and spoke much more easily. Looking at the man's slender, jade-like fingers, she couldn't help but recall his well-built physique after he took off his shirt that night... Oh God, stop right there!

Gu Qingyue was helpless against her own boundless imagination.

She quickly took a deep breath, her expression returning to its calm and composed state.

"I've tried all the tea, snacks, and food at Wenxianglou, and they're all really good. Young Master Mo has excellent taste," Gu Qingyue hurriedly promoted Wenxianglou. This Mo Shaoshang is a big spender, the kind who's very rich. Whether he's a good person or a bad person, she'll make money first. Deep down, Gu Qingyue is still a common person, and she wants to make money!

After all, there are still so many people to support.

Thinking of the mouths she had just brought back that afternoon, her smile became even more genuine.
