Lu Qiongshuang obediently took the curtain hat and put it on.

Jiang Xue said to Fu Dong: "Let Xu Chong rent a small carriage. We will wait at the end of the street first. You go down and buy some cakes for me."

Fu Dong nodded in agreement, opened the carriage door and got out.

Jiang Xue sat with her eyes closed to relax.

Lu Qiong Shuang said: "Cousin, we are just going out to buy some clothes, why are we so secretive?"

Jiang Xue said lazily: "Don't you know who you and I are? The big tree attracts the wind. If we go there in the Gu family's carriage, it would be too ostentatious, and it would be uncomfortable to walk around, right?"

Lu Qiong sighed: "My cousin is really wise."

"Your mouth is much sweeter than before." Jiang Xue raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"Cousin, you don't understand. People who run around in the world are fond of everyone with their sweet words." Lu Qiongshuang said with a smile, "But my praise for my cousin comes from the bottom of my heart."

"Stop flattering. Don't be too arrogant when you go out later. Just treat yourself as the daughter of an ordinary official." Jiang Xue instructed, closing her eyes and taking a nap.

Not long after, Fu Dong opened the car door, carrying a box of snacks in his hand, sat down next to Jiang Xue, and said, "Servant Xu has prepared the carriage. It's in a small alley a street away."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Let's go."

When the carriage arrived, Jiang Xue put on her curtain and hat, looked at the few people around through the gauze layer, and thought to herself, Xu Chong is a man who knows how to do things.

Jiang Xue ordered the accompanying guards, "Drive back directly, enter through the side door of Gu's Mansion, and drive directly to the inner courtyard before handing over the car."

The master and servant got out of the car and transferred to the small carriage rented by Xu Chong. Jiang Xue ordered Fu Dong to ask Gan Ning to follow.

Xu Chong and Gan Ning were sitting in the front driving the car. Jiang Xue said, "Let's go to Sajin Alley."

Lu Qiongshuang was very excited, and Fu Dong couldn't hold back his excitement.

"Your Highness, are you going directly to Madam Suyu's clothing store?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said: "Go to Yawu Xiaozhu first."

Fu Dong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your Highness is going to see Mr. He?"

Jiang Xue nodded.

"Master He? What Master He?" Lu Qiong picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake she had just bought in Fudong and leaned forward to ask while eating.

"In front of the Taiyuan Hospital, Mr. He Zhilin of the Heyuan family." Fu Dong said.

"He Zhilin?" Lu Qiongshuang said in surprise, "I remember him, brother Zhilin, right? When I was a child, I was always with my cousin Yu..."

The word "hanging out" was swallowed by her, "The one who is reading and playing in one place?"

Jiang Xue nodded again.

"Didn't he go back to his hometown in Jiaodong? Why did he come to the capital again?"

"Qiong Shuang, his surname is Yan and his name is Zhe, and he is a traveling doctor. No matter who you are in front of, don't mention that you know him." Jiang Xue ordered in a deep voice.

Lu Qiongshuang was a little confused, but after two years of walking in the world, she also knew that some things should not be explained to outsiders. She didn't want to break the pot and ask what happened. She just followed what Jiang Xue said.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Xu Chong's voice came from outside the carriage, "Your Highness, we're here."

Jiang Xue leaned forward and opened the car door, and whispered: "You don't need to call me Your Highness outside, just call me girl. Remember, my cousin is the girl in your house, and you are the chief guard."

Xu Chong and Gan Ning nodded silently.

Fu Dong put a curtain hat on Jiang Xue and helped Jiang Xue get out of the car.

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and saw that the Sajin Alley was very lively, but the small courtyard felt deep and deep at first glance. There were many vines climbing on the simple walls, making it a quiet place in the middle of the courtyard door. There is a wooden plaque with the words "Yawu Xiaozhu" written on it.

The courtyard door was open, Jiang Xue stepped up and walked straight in.

The courtyard was planted with green bamboos, and there was a walkway paved with bluestone slabs under the feet. Jiang Xue looked at it for a moment, and heard Lu Qiongshuang's voice: "This courtyard is quite unique."

"But why is there no one there?" Fu Dong asked puzzledly, "But the courtyard door is so wide open."

Suddenly, a soft and childish voice came, "Are you here to see your doctor?"

Several people looked for a voice and saw a boy in his teens standing in the corridor, holding several packages of medicine in his hands.

Jiang Xue nodded.

"Sir, I'm busy today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you. If you don't have any incurable diseases, you can go find other saints."

The kid spoke.

"Your husband and I are old friends." Jiang Xue said with a smile, "Go and talk to him and tell him that Miss Jiang San is here to look for him."

"River? Is it the river of the river?" the child asked, tilting his head.

"Yes." Jiang Xue said softly.

"Then just wait for me, I'll go right away." The kid ran inside.

Jiang Xue walked to the corridor and looked at the courtyard inside. The courtyard door was very narrow and nothing could be seen.

Fu Dong took the handkerchief and wiped the railing clean, then helped Jiang Xue sit down.

"Congratulations..." Lu Qiongshuang was about to speak. Jiang Xue glanced at her and realized she had said something wrong. She quickly changed her words and said, "Is Brother Yan so famous now? Listen to the meaning behind what the kid said. Like there are many people queuing up to wait for him to see a doctor?"

"Mr. Yan is known as the 'Famous Doctor of Jiaodong' in Beijing." Fu Dong reminded in a low voice.

Lu Qiong raised her eyebrows, she was doing so well, it seemed like she just hadn't made a name for herself yet.

In a moment, the child ran towards Jiang Xue and the others, and said out of breath, "Girls, sir, I'd like to invite you."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "There are more young men."

The kid scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You guys can come with me."

The three of them walked into the courtyard. Although the alley outside was narrow, after going around a few turns, the courtyard inside was very spacious, with pavilions, water and trees.

Jiang Xue looked up and saw a... vegetable field?

She walked closer and looked at it. Seeing her curiosity, the child said, "This is the medicinal material grown by Mr."

"Sir is in the house, please come in with me."

Jiang Xue followed and saw He Zhilin walking towards him.

There was no shadow of Ruan Yisui beside him.

"How did you find this place?" He Zhilin asked. Seeing that all three of them were wearing curtain hats, he added, "Come in first and sit down."

"Nan Xing, go get some drinks." He Zhilin ordered the child and then closed the door.

Jiang Xue and the others took off their hats and said, "Brother He, the scenery here is quite nice. Where is Ruan Yi Sui? Why didn't you take him with you?"

He Zhilin smiled bitterly and said: "I am in my own yard and there is no danger. I let Guard Ruan go wherever he falls in love with."

Lu Qiongshuang walked in front of him and pretended to be mysterious: "Mr. He, guess who I am?"

He Zhilin looked at her for a moment and said, "Miss Lu, she is a lot darker than when she was a child."

Lu Qiongshuang was angry and said: "What's black? I'm a healthy wheat color!"

He Zhilin just smiled lightly and did not argue with her. He said to Jiang Xue: "But you are not feeling well? Or did something happen to the Gu family?"

He turned and glanced at Lu Qiongshuang again. Lu Qiongshuang covered her ears and said, "It's up to you. I'll go hang out in your yard."

He Zhilin immediately ordered: "Don't waste my medicinal materials."

Lu Qiongshuang snorted softly, pushed the door open and went out.

Jiang Xuedao: "There's nothing going on in Gu's house, but Qiong Shuang wants to go out for a walk. I heard from Fu Dong that there is a very good clothing store in Sajin Lane. I thought you were here too, so I came over first."

He Zhilin said: "Since you're here, let me give you the medicine by the way. Take one first."

Jiang Xue stretched out her hand to take the medicine when she heard a charming female voice outside the room.

"Mr. Yan? Mr. Yan!"

"Mr. Yan, are you in the house?"
