The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Yao Furong took advantage of Qing He taking the pancake and suddenly attracted her attention and said, "Big sister, what do you think that is?"

Qing He looked back and saw a magpie pecking at the crumbs on the ground.

She took a look and didn't find anything special, so she continued to give the cakes to Yao Furong.

In the blink of an eye, Yao Furong had already stuffed the purse into her sleeve.

Because she had just found out that Minister Zhang's house was the first one in Zizhu Lane, Qingfeng County. If her eldest sister's in-laws came to ask for her, she would be the only person who knew about it!

Hehe, not only will she not get beaten now, but her mother might even reward her with something!

Yao Furong hummed a little tune proudly, went across the street to hire a donkey, and then rode home leisurely.

……

In the afternoon, a row of little girls stood in the front yard of Minister Zhang's house in Zizhu Lane.

The housekeeper, Old Yu, narrowed his eyes and looked them up and down. Finally, he picked out three of them and called the old maid over, "Auntie Zhang, bring them to the back house for the old lady to see!"

"Yes."

Aunt Zhang took her people and left.

The man with the teeth and short legs raised his thumb and praised: "Butler Yu has good eyesight!"

Half a day later, Aunt Zhang came back from the back house and said that the three people were kept by the old lady, and asked Lao Yu to take the human traffickers to the accounting office to settle the bill.

The girls who were not chosen all showed disappointment on their faces. Ma Duantui took them all away after returning from the accounting office, planning to visit Mr. Qin's house tomorrow...

After dinner, it was dark.

The three new girls were following Aunt Zhang in the backyard to familiarize themselves with the rules. "Remember, the old lady likes festive and generous colors and embroidery patterns. They must be similar to those in fashion in the capital, and cannot be too rustic..."

A little girl suddenly came in from outside, walked up to Aunt Zhang and whispered something to her.

After hearing this, Zhang Ma was stunned for a moment, then said to one of the girls, "Come with me!"

The little girl followed Aunt Zhang to the front yard.

When they reached the gate, they saw the butler, Lao Yu, talking to a young man with a forced smile on his face. A carriage with a gold-painted felt surround was parked at the foot of the steps.

When Lao Yu saw them coming, he turned to the man and said with a smile, "Guard Zhao, take the person away!"

The young man nodded, and then said to the girl: "Miss Yao, let's go."

This girl is Qinghe.

She looked at the man in front of her in surprise and found that it was the man she had a blind date with yesterday!

Qing He couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised for a moment, and thought to herself: How did he know I was here?

And... the butler called him Guard Zhao?!

Just when Qinghe was full of doubts, she suddenly remembered why this person looked so familiar to her!

He once saved Qinghe!

Come to think of it, that happened last summer.

After the rain stopped that morning, Qinghe left home with a basket and went to Qingping Mountain to pick mushrooms.

The pine mushrooms are particularly plump and tender after the rain. They can be dried and stored. When stewing chicken in winter, you can throw a few of them into the chicken stew. It tastes fresh and tender.

Just as Qinghe was passing a high slope, she saw from afar a clump of blue-purple bell grass swaying in the wind growing on the edge of the cliff.

This is a well-known local hemostatic medicine. Qinghe walked over without thinking.

She put the basket down and leaned out carefully to reach the herb.

But at this moment, a colorful snake suddenly appeared from nowhere and opened its mouth to bite Qinghe's wrist!

Qinghe was so frightened that she fell headfirst from the high slope!

Then her eyes went dark and she knew nothing...

She didn't know how long it had been, but when she woke up, she felt as if a warm and strong man was hugging her...

She wondered in a daze: Where am I? Am I dreaming?

Then I fainted again...

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when she regained consciousness, the man who had saved her asked for her home address and sent her back in a carriage.

And that man is the guard Zhao in front of him!

Qing He thought that maybe it was because she fell that day that her hair was disheveled, her eyes were dull, and her forehead was scratched and bleeding, which made her look rather disheveled, so he didn't recognize her on the day of the blind date...

When Qinghe heard him say, "Miss Yao, let's go," Qinghe followed him into the car without thinking!

She didn't know where she got the courage to trust someone so resolutely...

As soon as Zhao Cheng whipped the whip, the carriage started running happily. The sound of horse hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs sounded particularly crisp in the quiet night.

Qing He sat in the car, feeling a little uneasy, but also a strange sense of happiness and steadiness...

No matter it was the life-saving grace or the love at first sight during the blind date, she was full of infinite affection and dependence on the man driving outside!

She hoped that the carriage could keep going, no matter where it went...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally drove into a mansion.

After entering, we walked for about half a cup of tea and finally stopped in front of a moon cave.

Four maids holding lanterns had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Zhao Cheng stop the carriage, they greeted him with a smile, then stepped forward to take Qinghe from the carriage.

Zhao Cheng said to Qing He, "Miss Yao, please follow Xing'er and the others. My master is waiting for you."

After saying this, he drove away in his carriage.

Qing He was stunned after hearing this and wanted to say something, but Xing Er smiled and said to her, "Miss Yao, let's go!"

As he said this, he led the way and led Qinghe into the garden.

The garden is very large. As you walk along, you can see the outlines of various pavilions, towers, rockery and waterfalls in the dark, smell the fresh and fragrant fragrance of flowers in the night breeze and hear the sound of flowing water.

Unknown insects were chirping in the grass. Everything seemed so quiet and empty, making people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Qing He was walking and suddenly felt a little scared. She stopped and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Xing'er, who was walking in front, turned around and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Miss Yao, we'll be there soon!"

As they spoke, the group continued to move forward.

After crossing a stone bridge and passing a pavilion, everyone finally came to a house with lights on.

Xing'er said, "Miss Yao, please wait here for a moment. My master will be here soon."

After saying that, they closed the door and left, leaving Qinghe alone in the room.

Qinghe looked around the spacious and elegant room curiously and found that it was a study.

The bookshelves on the four walls were filled with all kinds of ancient books. There was a large rosewood desk by the window, on which was placed a gauze lantern, paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. A bronze animal-head incense burner was emitting wisps of green smoke...

Qinghe noticed an ancient painting hanging on the wall behind the desk.

The painting shows towering mountains covered with snow, dense trees in the deep valley and cold forest, and a magnificent scene. It is exactly the "Snowy Scene and Cold Forest" by Fan Kuan, a famous artist in the Northern Song Dynasty, which depicts the majestic and tranquil scene of the Qin and Long mountains and rivers after the snow.

Qing He was secretly surprised in her heart, it seemed that the owner of this house not only had extremely high taste, but was also very rich, to the point that he would just casually hang such a famous painting in his study!

In addition, Qing He also noticed that on the way here just now, the soldiers who were checking the curfew did not stop the carriage they were riding in, but stood aside quietly to let the carriage pass.

Putting these things together, Qing He felt that the owner of this house should not be an ordinary wealthy businessman, but a powerful royal family aristocrat...

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a door open, and then a man said behind her indifferently: "Miss Yao, we meet again!"

Qing He was startled and quickly turned around, only to find that a tall and burly stranger was standing in front of her, staring at her intently!

Seeing that she was a little surprised, the man asked casually: "Miss Yao, what is your impression of me?"

Qing He, who was originally a little dazed, immediately remembered who this person was after hearing these words!

She stared at the man with eyes wide open in disbelief, with an incredible expression on her face...

The man looked at her in shock, then suddenly smiled and said calmly, "The man you liked during the blind date yesterday was my bodyguard."
