In a blink of an eye, the time came to noon.
Tanzhou City, Yang Mansion.
In the spacious and bright flower hall, Yang Zong, Wang Qian, and other key members of the Yang family were gathering together to have a meal. Some frowned, while others looked calm.
After a while, the meal was finished, the leftovers were taken away, and the maids brought boiling tea.
"Master Su has been gone for most of the day, why haven't you come back?" A key member held a tea cup in his hand, frowning, and his tone was uncertain and full of worry.
"Master Su is a man of real ability. If he really leaves and never comes back, our Yang family will..." Someone was worried.
"In that ward in the morning, the head of the family should have persisted and sent someone to follow Mr. Su. This would at least give us some peace of mind."
"..."
Compared to the worries of the key staff, Yang Zong, the head of the Yang family, and Wang Qian, the counselor beside him, were relatively calm and composed.
"In my opinion, Mr. Su should not have been allowed to leave the house this morning! What private matter? Is it as important as my Yang family's important affairs?" There was a strong-tempered family member with a strange temper, expressing his dissatisfaction there.
"enough!"
When Yang Zong heard this, his expression changed, he stood up, glared at the man and reprimanded:
"If it weren't for Young Master Su, I don't know what kind of chaos my Yang family would be in. Young Master Su has done a lot of favor to my Yang family, but who are you? How dare you frame my Yang family for injustice?"
"Patriarch makes atonement, I was just quick-talking for a moment..." The man lowered his head, not daring to look Yang Zong in the eyes.
At this time, Wang Qian gently shook the feather fan in his hand, stood up with a smile, first stopped the angry Yang Zong with the feather fan, and then persuaded:
"Master, there is no need to be angry. I believe that Mr. Su is not a trustworthy person. He will not break his promise to us. I dare to conclude that Mr. Su will return before dark tonight!"
Yang Zong's face relaxed and he nodded:
"Master Su is a disciple of an expert outside the world. He must practice what he preaches. I also believe that he can return on time."
"..."
Unknowingly, time passed quietly.
It is getting dusk and the sun is about to set.
Master Su Zhe, whom the entire Yang family is talking about, still has not returned home.
Not to mention the backbone of the Yang family, even Yang Zong and Wang Qian gradually became uneasy and became increasingly unable to calm down.
But who is the most uneasy, worried and remorseful?
Naturally, it is Yang Ruoxian, the second young lady of the Yang family.
At this stage, Yang Gong is the "glue" of the entire Yang family. Because of Yang Gong's existence, they can unite people's hearts and have hope of restoring the Daqian Dynasty.
If Yang Gong has three shortcomings, the Yang family will soon fall apart. Not to mention restoring the Daqian Dynasty, their personal safety may not be guaranteed.
Su Zhe, Mr. Su, is good at using the legendary "Nine Needles to Return Yang". He is the hope of curing Yang Gong and the savior of the entire Yang family!
And now, Mr. Su... has run away.
Never come back!
All the reasons and blame must be placed on her, Yang Ruoxian.
If she hadn't lost her temper as a young lady, she would not have offended Mr. Su, and Mr. Su would not have left Yang Gong and run away...
This must be Mr. Su's revenge on her!
Yang Ruoxian felt ashamed and sighed in her heart.
She has always safeguarded the interests of her family and set the restoration of the Daqian Dynasty as her life goal, but in the end, she was the one who destroyed it all!
It's going to be dark soon.
With complicated emotions, Yang Ruoxian clasped her hands tightly, frowned, and unknowingly walked to the Yang family's meeting hall.
Since noon, Yang Zong sent a large number of people out of the city to look for Su Xian. From time to time, people came back to report, and the place of reporting was in the meeting hall.
The meeting hall was empty.
Because it happened to be dinner time, Yang Zong, Wang Qian and others went to eat.
Yang Ruoxian folded his hands in front of his abdomen and clasped them tightly. Chen Yuluoyan's face was full of worry. He was walking around alone in the huge meeting hall, and his whole body was about to collapse.
Suddenly, when she turned around and faced the door of the conference hall, her footsteps suddenly stopped, and a complex expression appeared on her face, a mixture of embarrassment and shame.
Her heart was even more shocked, almost making her hide her face and run away.
What did she see?
It turned out that Yang Zong, Wang Qian, and other key members of the Yang family had returned from dinner.
A large group of them blocked the door of the meeting hall, and happened to meet Yang Ruoxian who turned around...
Yang Ruoxian was embarrassed.
Since there was no one in the meeting hall just now, she did not hide her emotions, her expressions were all written on her face.
What's terrible is that in addition to self-blame, the expression on her face also contains a hint of admiration for Mr. Su Zhe... And this was also seen by Yang Zong and others!
This is equivalent to exposing her girlish thoughts to the sun.
For an ancient woman, this was simply embarrassing. She had been running the family tea business for a long time and had gained a lot of experience. She was so ashamed at this moment that she really wanted to dig a drill in the ground.
What's more, she is facing Yang Zong, who is her biological father who can influence her marriage!
"Xian'er, why are you here?" Yang Zong looked calm, looking at Yang Ruoxian with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"I……"
Yang Ruoxian pursed her lips, mustered up her courage, and slowly raised her head to meet Yang Zong's eyes.
His eyes were scorching, as if he had read through her thoughts, and she immediately lowered her head in panic and remained silent.
"You have worked really hard these past two days for family matters." Yang Zong softened his tone and said in a comforting tone:
"However, this is actually the responsibility of your father, me, and your uncles. This burden should not be on your shoulders. Look at you, your face is like this..."
Yang Zong tilted his head and stared at his daughter's face for a long time, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Yang Ruoxian was inexplicably frightened, and lowered his head again in fright, his face was dizzy, and his chin almost poked into his collar.
Fortunately, Yang Zong quickly looked away and added seriously:
"...so haggard!"
call!
so close!
Yang Ruoxian slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Yang Zong didn't notice any clues and just thought she was worried about family matters... Yes, I am worried about family matters, Yang Ruoxian secretly reminded herself.
"Master Su is back!"
At this time, a voice came from outside.
Everyone in the meeting hall was slightly stunned. Happiness came too suddenly?
Yang Zong reacted first and strode towards the gate of the mansion. At the same time, he ordered: "You and others will follow me to welcome Mr. Su back to the mansion."
"good!"
Everyone was overjoyed and followed him one after another.
Yang Ruoxian was even more overjoyed. He didn't care much at the moment and followed everyone. When he saw Mr. Su Zhe and the two followers behind him, he finally felt at ease.
By the way, Su Xian had been there for a whole day and finally arranged everything.
But there is also a hidden danger. The Mingtang is built in the Imperial City of Nanchu, so it is very inconvenient to move around. Moreover, we don’t know what variables there are, so we can only take one step at a time.
Fortunately, Su Xian can freely control the time to heal Yang Gong. He is not afraid to take one step at a time and just take his time...
In Yang Gong's ward, everyone gathered around Su Xian.
Because it was getting dark, it was time for acupuncture at night.
In line with the mentality of "being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day", Su Xian slowly took out the slender silver needle and made preliminary preparations for the acupuncture.
Yang Zong, Wang Qian, and the backbone of the Yang family gathered around, all smiled and stared at the side, not wanting to miss any detail.
Su Xian was speechless and slowly picked up the tail of a silver needle.
But at this moment, Su Xian made a move, and the silver needle hung on Yang Gong's body for several inches, but refused to penetrate.
Yang Zong and others' breathing had stopped, and their smiles froze slightly. They looked at Su Xian in confusion, for fear of another accident.
"There are too many people in the room. It's very boring. This is not good for Mr. Yang's illness." Su Xian rubbed his slightly tired face and turned to look at Yang Zong.
"..."
At this moment, outside the ward door, Yang Ruoxian hesitated for a long time, and finally took a tentative step towards the threshold. Her palm-sized lotus feet, wrapped in exquisite embroidered shoes, gently landed on the ground inside the door.
After hearing Su Xian's words, Yang Ruoxian was shocked, and the beautiful feet that had finally stepped into the house slowly retracted.
After a while, Yang Ruoxian was no longer seen outside the house.
Quietly...
Not long after the acupuncture was finished, Su Xian took Yang Zhilan and Zhou Wei back to their residence, and they went back to their rooms to rest.
…
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Su Xian got up and gave Yang Gong the acupuncture, then plunged into the library, wandered in the sea of books, and continued to look for the needle in the haystack.
Yesterday, although he said that he must find a way to speed up the search for the Jade Butterfly hidden in the sea of books, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, because this is very inefficient.
But, haven’t we thought of a feasible way yet?
Before that, let’s just devote ourselves to the sea of books.
In this way, the time slowly came to noon.
Su Xian, who still found nothing, gradually began to feel irritable.
When I came to Nanchu, the most important task was to investigate the affairs of the former prince and help Chen Keyan solve the problem.
It's good now that the matter of helping Chen Keyan solve the problem has been established, and the progress is pretty good, but the investigation of the former prince's matter has no clue...
After lunch, Su Xian returned to the library. He stood in the center of the whole building. He no longer immersed himself in the sea of books, but fell into deep thought. He had to find a way.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the building:
"Second Miss! I'd like to pay my respects to the Second Miss. Why is the Second Miss here free? Could it be that I found some good books from outside and want to store them here?"
In the library, Su Xian heard it clearly.
The second young lady of the Yang family, Yang Ruoxian, why is she here?
Su Xian only paused for a moment and then ignored it. This was the library of the Yang family. As a member of the Yang family, Yang Ruoxian could naturally come here and leave her alone.
Soon, Su Xian, who had his back to the library door, felt a bright light behind him, and accompanied by the creaking sound of the door shaft turning... Yang Ruoxian came in.
As the door opened, a breeze flowed in from the outside, carrying a faint fragrance, which smelled very good. It was the fragrance of Yang Ruoxian.
It is true that the fragrance smells very good, fresh and natural, without any greasy smell of powder, but Su Xian frowned.
Because his thoughts have been strongly disturbed, he cannot calm down and think.
hateful!
Su Xian's heart was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Master Su."
At this time, Yang Ruoxian's voice came from behind, with a little joy, not as cold as before.
Su Xian did not respond or turn around. From the shadow of Mo Lake reflected on the ground, he could see that Yang Ruoxian had walked behind him and made a Wanfu salute.
Su Xian rubbed his nose and turned towards the bookshelf nearby.
This place is several feet away from Yang Ruoxian, and he can finally get rid of her disturbing body fragrance.
Yang Ruoxian froze on the spot, looking at Su Xian's back as he walked away, feeling a wave of disappointment in his heart.
In front of Mr. Su Zhe, her previous pride and aloofness no longer existed. No matter how humble she was, people wouldn't even look at her...
It's so hurtful!
In fact, she came to the library this time to make one last attempt.
If it still can't resolve the unhappiness between the two, then forget it.
Judging from yesterday's results, Mr. Su would not have bad intentions when performing the acupuncture on Yang Gong because he disliked her. Otherwise, he could have left without returning home yesterday.
This made Yang Ruoxian feel at ease.
But she still wants to resolve the unpleasantness between them...
But now it seems that Mr. Su still ignores her. Does he really hate her that much?
That’s all.
She shook her head, took one last look at Su Xian's back, turned around, and prepared to leave.
In order not to make Mr. Su unhappy, she decided not to leave the house during this period of time until Mr. Su cured Yang Gong's illness and then left.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a maid ran into the library wildly.
Yang Ruoxian was worried and couldn't avoid it, so she bumped into the maid.
The maid was startled, panting and hurriedly apologized.
Yang Ruoxian waved her hand generously and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, just go slower next time. By the way, you are running around in such a hurry, but the old scholar from the Hanlin Academy comes to borrow books again?"
"Second Miss guessed well." The maid grabbed Yang Ruoxian's hand and said happily: "Second Miss happens to be here too. That's great. We don't have to sleep in the library today. Second Miss, please help me."
"..."
Beside, Su Xian, who was pretending to flip through a book in front of the bookshelf, was moved in his heart and quickly raised his ears.
Yang Ruoxian smiled and agreed: "Okay, okay, tell me, what book are you looking for this time?"
"Thank you, Miss Second. The first book is "Jia Zhai Worker Examination Notes"." The maid took out a small piece of paper, tilted her head, and read it against the light.
Yang Ruoxian lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then replied: "Fifth floor, east side, Ji Wei No. bookshelf."
"The second book is "Lv Lu Zuan Yao"." The maid continued.
Yang Ruoxian thought for a while and confirmed: "Third floor, west side, Geng Wu bookshelf."
"The third book "Explanation of Classification Techniques for Measuring Circles".
"Sixth floor, east side, Jiawu Bookshelf."
"The fourth "Xueluzhai Notes"."
"Second floor, south side, Gengzi bookshelf."
"..."
Beside, Su Xian was dumbfounded.
And my heart is ups and downs.
Living catalog!
Yang Ruoxian is the living catalog of this library!
What else can you think of? Can't you just ask Yang Ruoxian directly? Why didn't you think of it before? Su Xian was very excited.
The conversation between Yang Ruoxian and the maid continued. No matter how obscure the title of the book the maid said, Yang Ruoxian only needed to think for a moment to accurately tell the specific location, right down to the bookshelf.
Of course, she is not a god, and the location of some books is unclear. She can only give a rough idea, such as which floor.
But no matter what, it is better than finding a needle in a haystack.
Su Xian was so excited that he turned around and ran towards Yang Ruoxian with long strides, an ecstatic smile on his face.
