Chapter 182 Being targeted by thieves
Qu Jingyao returned to the room and asked Ling'er to get paper and pen so that she could draw the pattern.
When Ling'er returned to the room with paper and pen, Qu Jingyao had already changed her clothes, and Xiaohuo was lying on the couch to rest.
"The master has brought it."
She stood by the table and helped her master grind ink.
Qu Jingyao walked to the desk with dignity, picked up the wolf-hair brush, looked at the blank rice paper and pondered for a moment, then an idea came to her mind.
Ling'er watched her master paint on the rice paper smoothly, and after a while, she had a preliminary pattern.
She was amazed that her master was not only good at gambling on stones, but also at painting. This kind of pattern was the first time she had seen it, it was simple and clear.
"Master, you are so amazing."
She poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her master.
Qu Jingyu smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked in a deep voice if she could read.
"My servant and my brothers can all read."
The master and servant chatted for a long time, and Qu Jingyao also learned a lot about the Yan and Chu countries.
She put down the wolf-hair brush in her hand, blew dry the ink on the rice paper, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Give this to your father and Qinglin."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
After saying this, Ling'er leaned over and left the room.
Uncle Song in front was also very efficient. He had already brought the craftsmen to the shop and was about to invite the master.
"Dad, the master asked me to give this to you."
Uncle Song took the rice paper from her hand with doubt. The craftsman next to her glanced at the pattern on it and asked the little girl if it was painted by her master?
"Yes, I saw the master draw it with my own eyes." Ling'er said with a proud raised eyebrow.
Uncle Song glared at her and asked her to go and invite the master to the front first.
"Hey, I'll go right away."
As she spoke, she asked her father to give the other blueprint to her brother first, and then she quickly turned around and ran towards the inner courtyard.
Qu Jingyao, who was enjoying the cool air on a bamboo chair in the corridor, saw Ling'er walking towards her quickly in small steps.
"Master, my father has invited a craftsman to the front, please go over."
Ling'er stepped forward and helped Qu Jingyao to slowly stand up and walk towards the front yard.
At this time, several craftsmen in the shop lobby were sitting around a table discussing the drawing.
This owner is quite creative.
"Your servant greets your master. These are the best craftsmen in Bianliang City. Master, please see..."
When those people heard the noise, they quickly raised their heads and saw the little girl walking in. They were confused and puzzled.
"Shopkeeper Song, is this the master you were talking about? This design was made by the young lady?"
Qu Jingyao extended her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Masters, please sit down and chat."
Qiu'er came in from behind with a teacup in her hand. After putting the teacup down, she leaned over and walked out.
Ling'er stood beside her master, watching him chatting with several masters without any stage fright, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes.
Even Song Yunshan, who was standing by, felt that he had followed the right master this time.
Although the master is young, he is as capable as any other man.
Qingshan ran in from outside with a smile on his face. He was about to speak but when he saw the people in the lobby, he swallowed his words. Uncle Song signaled him to wait on the side.
"Then I'll leave the repair work to you masters. This one hundred taels is the deposit."
"Miss Qu is so forthright. We will all do our best. We'll take our leave now and return to work promptly at 9:00 PM tomorrow."
She nodded slightly, smiled, and asked Uncle Song to see everyone out.
Seeing them leave, Qinglin walked up slowly and bowed, "Master, the carpenter has accepted our work. He has also looked at the drawings and said it will take at least six days to complete."
"Well, good, well done. You can go to the horse market with Uncle Song later to pick out a horse and a carriage."
After explaining all this, Qu Jingyao returned to the backyard.
She asked Ling'er not to disturb her as she wanted to rest for a while.
"Yes, the slaves retire."
After returning to the house, Qu Jingyao slipped into the space, taking the gold ingots and jadeite stones with her.
Manman ran over the moment she appeared.
"Master, is today a great day?"
"Great, you're great. I didn't expect you to have this ability."
Having said that, Qu Jingyao picked up Manman and walked towards the waterfall.
"I placed the jade I opened in the pond. I don't know which one you mentioned as having spiritual energy."
Manman meowed twice, nestled in her arms and said leisurely that it didn't matter, no matter which one was put into the pond, the spiritual energy would naturally be released into the space.
"By the way, Manman, you should sort out some of the jade ornaments and whole pieces of jade made in the workshop recently. I plan to open a shop in Yanchu State."
"Didn't the master come here to detoxify Grandmother? Why aren't you in a hurry?"
He asked with full of confusion.
She smiled. If she went directly to the door at this time, she might attract the enemy's attention, which would not be a good thing. Moreover, her grandmother's sudden poisoning was very strange, so she had to be careful.
"That's right, but we can't bring danger back to Lingshui Village."
Qu Jingyao didn't know that Leng Yanxiu had gone to the village to look for her shortly after she left. He climbed through the window twice but didn't see anyone. Finally, he found Baiguo and learned that she had gone out. As for where she went, Baiguo didn't say.
After returning to the palace, Leng Yanxiu ordered Xuan Lei to have someone check her whereabouts. This little thing is really never idle for a moment.
"My Lord, maybe Miss Qu is really in trouble."
"I'm just worried that those people in the capital will harm her. I don't know about the traitor in the mansion..."
Xuan Lei was stunned when he heard his master's words, then bowed and said, "Then I will go right away."
Looking at Xuan Lei who had walked out of the study, Leng Yanxiu's eyes were cold. He lifted up his robe and sat sideways on the couch, looking at the moonlight outside and playing with the ring on his finger.
The night is getting darker.
Ling'er saw that there was still a candle burning in her master's room, so she went forward and knocked on the door.
"Master, are you still awake?"
"come in."
Qu Jingyao, who had just come out of the space, was sitting at the eight-immortal table, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing Ling'er coming in, she raised her eyebrows: "Why aren't you resting yet?"
"I got up at night and saw that the light in the master's room was still on, so I came to ask the master."
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled evilly, muttering, "It's almost done..."
Ling'er didn't understand what her master was saying. Looking at that mysterious smile, Ling'er became even more confused.
At this moment, Qu Jingyao stood up suddenly and told Ling'er to turn off the lights and not to go out.
She quickly left the room, closed the door behind her, and glanced at the movement in the yard.
"Come out, there's no point in hiding." As Qu Jingyao finished speaking, four masked strong men walked out from the darkness in the corner.
"Hahaha... you're quite brave, little girl. How did you know we were coming? Our skills shouldn't be this bad."
Qu Jingyao glanced at a few people and sneered, "It's not much better."
