Chapter 172 Testing whether Zhang Yuncheng is a time traveler
After the last incident, Su Qian became more curious about Zhang Yuncheng's background, but she couldn't ask about Zhang Yuncheng in a high-profile manner.
So, Su Qian thought of Bai Ying.
Bai Ying was the person assigned to her by Yan Xuanye. Her personality was not as rigid as Lu Feng's. She was relatively easy to talk to.
Moreover, Su Qian could see that Bai Ying was also an ambitious person, and she also wanted to work hard to earn a good future for herself.
Unfortunately, Cuiwei was the maid she trusted the most and was closest to, and Lu Feng had the most say in front of her. There was only one Bai Ying, who was stuck in the middle and was the most embarrassed.
"Bai Ying, come here for a moment."
Bai Ying, who was waiting on the side, paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and asked, "What do you want, Princess?"
"I have something I want you to do."
Bai Ying glanced in the direction of Cuiwei, feeling a little suspicious but secretly delighted at the same time.
Is the princess finally going to use me?
Previously, because Cuiwei came to serve the princess before her, the princess was always reluctant to use her. But today, she suddenly said that she had something to do.
Su Qian added: "If you do it well, there will be a reward."
Bai Ying said with great joy, "Princess, please speak."
"I want you to help me check on a person. Find out his family background, parents, personality, what he likes to do, and who he usually interacts with."
"Your Highness and Lu Feng must not know about this, nor can anyone else. Do you understand?"
Bai Ying nodded solemnly, "I understand. I will definitely see to it."
"Go."
"Yes." Bai Ying bowed and walked out.
……
"Princess, why don't you tell me to do it?" Cuiwei asked.
Su Qian took a sip of tea and said, "You are not suitable to do this."
"You are mine. Yan Xuanye is wary of you. No matter what you do, he will have someone find out."
"Bai Ying is different. Bai Ying was originally someone he arranged to be by my side. I don't usually assign Bai Ying to do things because they all know that I don't want to use Bai Ying.
Even if I arranged for Bai Ying to do this today, they would not think that it was me who asked Bai Ying to do it for a while. "
Cuiwei thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. The princess is really thoughtful."
Su Qian waited boredly for two days before Bai Ying finally found out Zhang Yuncheng's background.
Bai Ying had a happy smile on her face, probably because she was happy that she had done the job she was asked to do. "I have checked and found out that this Zhang Yuncheng is the son of Zhang Congtai, the captain of the city gate."
"His background is very simple. He has been learning martial arts from his father Zhang Congtai since he was a child. Because he is very talented in martial arts and can easily learn any moves, he is also very famous in Qingzhou City."
"But that's where the weirdness comes from. During a horse archery competition ten months ago, the horse got startled for some reason and shook him off its back. He was injured and passed out. He lay there for two days before waking up. But after waking up, he was like a completely different person."
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "How did you become a different person?"
"Zhang Yuncheng, who was originally very talented in martial arts, forgot everything after waking up from his coma. Not only can he not use a single gun or sword, he can't even protect himself. It's as if he has never learned martial arts."
"Not only that, something even stranger is coming." Bai Ying said in a very mysterious tone.
Su Qian and Cui Wei both became interested and asked, "What?"
"This Zhang Yuncheng has become interested in reading, which he had no interest in before. Not only does he like reading, he also likes to delve into those strange books."
"Originally, his father Zhang Congtai thought that his love of reading was a good thing, and he wanted him to prepare well and take part in the imperial examination the year after.
But Zhang Yuncheng seemed to have a broken brain. He was unwilling to study the Four Books and Five Classics, nor did he want to take the imperial examination. He just liked to read those unorthodox books and preached equality and other ideas to others everywhere. "
Bai Ying scratched her temples a little embarrassedly. "I have forgotten what the specific content is. It sounds very difficult to understand. I am a rough person and don't understand these."
Hearing this, Su Qian had a bold guess in his mind.
Could it be that this Zhang Yuncheng is really a time traveler like her?
"You mean, he suddenly became like this about ten months ago?"
Bai Ying: "Yes, it seems to be before the war between Nanchang Kingdom and Fengyuan Kingdom."
"Isn't his father Zhang Congtai the captain of the city gate? I heard that he originally wanted Zhang Yuncheng to participate in that war, but unfortunately because of this incident, Zhang Yuncheng became an ordinary person who can't do anything, so Zhang Congtai had to give up this idea."
About ten months ago?
When she traveled to this era, it was summer, and now it is the spring of the second year, so the time is roughly the same.
Moreover, why was it such a coincidence? He also fell off his horse, and his temperament suddenly changed, as if he had become a different person.
Su Qian decided to verify it himself.
If Zhang Yuncheng is really a time traveler, then she is not the only time traveler in this world, and she doesn't have to be so worried. At least there is someone she can chat and confide in.
That's right, that's it.
……
After lunch, Su Qian specially brought a bowl of homemade milk tea to Zhang Yuncheng's bookstore. Perhaps this bowl of milk tea could prove whether he was a time traveler.
Seeing her coming, the waiter in the bookstore was obviously a little excited, "Princess, you are here again?"
Su Qian nodded, "Yeah, where's your boss?"
Ever since Yan Xuanye brought a group of people to Zhang Yuncheng's bookstore to look for her, all of them knew her identity.
Compared to the last time she came, the waiter was many times more enthusiastic.
"It's a nice day today. Boss Zhang is drying his books in the backyard."
"Then I'll go find him."
"Oh, right." Su Qian pretended to be surprised and said, "I asked someone to bring some refreshing milk tea from the mansion. You can try it too."
The waiter paused for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to be so generous, and then he excitedly thanked her.
From his eyes, Su Qian could see that besides his curiosity and agreement, there was also some inquiry.
He was curious about what kind of drink it was, but he was too embarrassed to ask in front of her.
This was a normal reaction of ancient people when faced with new things. Su Qian kept it in mind and walked towards the backyard.
……
The backyard was not very big. Zhang Yuncheng was holding a feather duster in his hand, bending over and gently sweeping the dust off the books.
"Boss Zhang."
Zhang Yuncheng raised his head and smiled. "It's Miss Su. Are you here to read again today?"
"These days, you have almost become a regular customer of my bookstore. You are the only one willing to come to my bookstore. It is such an honor."
Su Qian: "Yes, I thought we were friends now, so I brought you some food from home."
"Give me some face and try it together?"
Zhang Yuncheng: "I will obey your orders."
"Miss Su, please find a place to sit for a while. Zhang will be here soon."
Su Qian: "Okay."
……
Su Qian sat for a while, and then Zhang Yuncheng came.
He seemed to be quite clever, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Su Qian thought for a moment, then took out her silk handkerchief from her embroidered robe and handed it to him, "Wipe your sweat."
It's not that she had any improper thoughts about Zhang Yuncheng, she just wanted to get close to Zhang Yuncheng through this action and make him let down his guard.
Su Qian put herself in the other person's shoes. If it were her, and someone suddenly came up to her and tested whether she was a time traveler, she would keep her mouth shut and would not be in a hurry to reveal the matter.
Therefore, she can only proceed step by step and not be too hasty. It would be bad if she rushes into things too hastily and ends up making things worse.
Zhang Yuncheng said, retreating and refusing, "How dare you use Miss Su's handkerchief?"
He lifted his sleeves and said, "I can do it myself."
Su Qian took back the handkerchief and said, "Okay."
"Actually, I came here today because I have a few questions that I don't understand, and I wanted to ask Master Zhang for advice. But I didn't want to disturb Master Zhang's reading, so I brought some snacks and fruits from home to apologize, and please have a taste of them."
Su Qian deliberately made this excuse to Bai Ying who was beside her.
Last time, Yan Xuanye told her that if she didn’t want to take Lu Feng out, she must take Bai Ying with her.
Su Qian knew that even if Lu Feng was not following her, he must be following her somewhere in secret. Otherwise, how could it be explained that Yan Xuanye was able to clearly know that she was in this bookstore last time?
The reason she wanted Bai Ying to be by her side was simply because she wanted someone to supervise her and report everything she said and did to Yan Xuanye.
Zhang Yuncheng smiled and said, "Miss Su, why should you be so polite? You and I are destined to be together. Even if I don't have these material possessions, I am willing to answer your questions for you."
Su Qian also smiled, but there was not much smile in her eyes. Her eyes were observing his movements and reactions when he drank the milk tea.
As she expected, when Zhang Yuncheng opened the lunch box and saw the bowl of milk tea, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he quickly hid it.
"What is this?" he asked.
Su Qian said, "This is called milk tea. It was made by my maid. I think it's edible, so I brought it here for Master Zhang to try."
"It tastes very good. I wonder what the name of this maid is? Could you introduce her to me, Zhang?"
Su Qian pretended to be surprised: "Why is this?"
"That's right." Zhang Yuncheng put down the bowl. "I think my mother would like this drink. It will be her birthday in a few days. I want to learn how to make this for her to try as a token of my filial piety."
"So that's how it is." Su Qian spoke as he seemed to be thinking about something.
She originally thought his expression just now was a little strange, and she almost believed that Zhang Yuncheng was a time traveler, but his words just now were flawless and there was nothing wrong with them.
"It was made by a cook in my family, but she was in a hurry today. How about next time... I can ask her to bring the necessary ingredients and recipes, and then bring her along?"
Zhang Yuncheng stood up and bowed to her solemnly, "Thank you very much, Miss Su."
Su Qian's smile was a little forced at this moment, "No need to thank me."
Then, Su Qian quickly calmed down and continued talking with him, and the conversation ended in the evening.
On the way back, Su Qian leaned dejectedly against the inner wall of the carriage, reviewing the conversation she had just had with Zhang Yuncheng.
I don’t know if it’s because I expected too much, so I was disappointed more often.
She tested him several times during the meal but couldn't see any major problems. It was just that Zhang Yuncheng seemed a little unnatural in some subtle expressions.
It seems that verifying this matter will not be accomplished in a day or two.
Just when she was feeling confused, a cold and familiar electronic voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Host."
Su Qian raised her lazy eyes in an instant, and her eyes became sharp in an instant, "System?"
The system no longer had the playful smile it had in front of Lu Huan, and now it seemed very serious, "It's me."
