Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 240 News
Zeyutang.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"I'm back!"

Amidst a series of loud shouts, Kikyo rushed in from outside.

"Huh? Kikyo, what's going on?"

In the courtyard, Cuiming, Ziyuan, and Mingyue were somewhat surprised.

What's wrong with this girl?
Why are you acting like a madman, behaving so wildly? Aren't you afraid of being punished by your young master?

However, just as Cuiming and the others were wondering, Kikyo flashed by and ran straight to Sheng Changquan's study, Zhiyuan Hall.

After Kikyo disappeared, calls of voices were heard again.

"Sister Kikyo!"

"Sister Kikyo, wait for me!"

Behind Kikyo, there was a small figure, stumbling and calling out from afar.

"hehe!"

"It's a gentle breeze!"

The other maids in the courtyard burst into laughter upon hearing the sound.

Especially Cui Ming, who stood up from her small stool and waved to the distance with a smile, saying, "Little Qingfeng, slow down, don't fall!"

"Uh-huh!"

Beside Cuiming, the little maid Mingyue nodded her head and reminded Qingfeng in her clear, childlike voice, "Qingfeng, be careful!"

"You must listen to Sister Cuiming!"

"..."

Strangely enough, this once tranquil courtyard suddenly became much more lively after all this commotion, like a foot of spring water rippling in the wind.

It possessed a kind of vitality.

……

"Master!"

Ignoring the stares of her sisters, Kikyo ran straight to Sheng Changquan's study and knocked on the door.

"Boom! Boom!"

Kikyo's knocking was just for show; she merely touched the door symbolically before barging in.

"Young Master, I've already found out what happened in the front hall!"

Kikyo's face was flushed, and she loudly reported to Sheng Changquan as if she were asking for credit.

Of course, Kikyo wasn't shy at all; it was simply because she was running too fast, causing her blood and energy to circulate too vigorously, which made her flushed.

However, combined with Kikyo's appearance, she is quite remarkable and can be considered a little beauty.

After all, the four maids behind Sheng Changquan were all handpicked by Madam Wang and were prepared to be sent to Sheng Changbai's courtyard. How could there be any ugly women among them?
Even Qingfeng and Mingyue, those two little girls, are both natural beauties. It's just that they are still young. If they are properly cared for, they will definitely grow up to be beauties!
"Hey, Kikyo, slow down!"

Inside Zhiyuan Hall, upon hearing the sound, Sheng Changquan put down his book and looked up at Kikyo. However, upon seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"This isn't urgent. Kikyo, have some water first, and tell me slowly!"

As he spoke, Sheng Changquan stood up and personally poured a cup of tea for Kikyo.

"Come on, drink some water!"

Sheng Changquan, unusually gentle, picked up the teacup and smiled at Kikyo.

"Ah?!" "Yes, young master!"

Kikyo seemed to be a little nervous because of Sheng Changquan's expression. She hurriedly took the cup from her young master's hand and gulped it down in one go!

Actually, Kikyo wasn't thirsty. After all, she had brought the specialty of Zeyutang—juice—to make friends with her "girlfriends" in order to gather information!

Although the world already had a way of making fruit juice, it was not as sophisticated as it has been in later generations. Therefore, with Sheng Changquan's memories from his previous life as a foundation, combined with his medical knowledge from this life, he created many fruit drinks that are not only nutritious but also have an excellent taste.

It was precisely because of the unique juice of Zeyutang that Kikyo was able to "make many good friends" and get to know many "good sisters" with whom she could share everything.

Although most of these young ladies were of low status, and some were even just day laborers and not considered members of the Sheng family, fortunately, their numbers were large and they were spread throughout the entire Sheng family.

Therefore, when it comes to grasping information and rumors, sometimes even the heads of the household, such as Sheng Hong and Madam Wang, are far inferior to these people.

"Alright, Kikyo, just tell me already!"

Seeing Kikyo "eagerly" drink the water he had poured, Sheng Changquan was immediately satisfied.

"What exactly did you find out?"

"Gudu!"

Kikyo, whose belly was already full of juice, "struggled" to swallow the last mouthful of water in her mouth, then took a slight breath and reported, "Young...Young Master!"

"The commotion in the front hall was ordered by Liu Mama of Wei Rui Xuan!"

Feeling the tea churning in her stomach, Kikyo felt a little uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to say, "They said they were afraid someone would disturb Princess Pingning and the young master who came to visit today."

"So we just had people surround it!"

Although Kikyo's explanation was comprehensive, Sheng Changquan only focused on one aspect.

"Yes, it really is them coming to our door!"

Sheng Changquan understood.

"However, young master!"

"I think this is probably not because Madam Liu didn't want anyone to disturb Princess Pingning and the others!"

Kikyo whispered her opinion, and then continued to speak, presenting the evidence that followed.

"The information I've gathered is that later, Lin Xiaoniang from Linxi Pavilion and the Fourth Miss also rushed to the front, seemingly trying to break in!"

"However, they were all stopped by Liu's mother's people!"

"whee……"

Kikyo knew that her own courtyard and the Linxi Pavilion were at odds, which is why she dared to laugh and joke.

However, that's not all!

Lin Xiaoniang of Linxi Pavilion is highly skilled and handles everything perfectly, leaving no room for criticism. However, the fourth young lady, Mo Lan, does not possess her mother's abilities.

Arrogance, vanity, selfishness... all these unlikable traits were observed by the servants. Therefore, apart from a few lecherous men, few servants liked the fourth daughter of the Sheng family.

Of course, besides these people, there are also some who, for their own benefit, have no choice but to join the ranks of Linxi Pavilion, hoping to gain profits from it.

Therefore, in the Sheng family mansion, the fourth young lady, Mo Lan, could not be considered a "lonely person" without anyone liking her.

"What about the back?"

Sheng Changquan wasn't concerned about Linxi Pavilion's affairs; he simply pressed on, "Jiegeng, have you found out why Princess Pingning came to visit today?"

"Yes or no……"

"...You want to propose marriage?"

"Huh? A marriage proposal?"

Kikyo was suddenly taken aback!
