"I figured you probably haven't been eating well these past few days, so I brought some back with me."
Nangong Qianrou's smile gradually faded, and her eyes slowly changed, revealing an emotion called guilt.
It turned out to be the case.
I realized I had... misunderstood him.
Nangong Qianrou decided not to pursue the matter of Su Nan calling her Xiaorou anymore.
This guy seems annoying, but he actually has some remarkable qualities... He's quite considerate towards his subordinates and those around him...
Moreover, he's good-looking, and his talent is astonishing...
Just as Nangong Qianrou was listing Su Nan's good points, Su Nan's voice came from her ear again.
"Moreover, none of the courtesans in Yuzhou's brothel are as beautiful as you, Xiaorou."
The tenderness that Nangong Qianrou felt vanished instantly.
But seeing the food box in Su Nan's hand, Nangong Qianrou resisted the urge to kick him out.
The food on the ship these past few days has really made her want to vomit.
"Come in."
"Junyanghao~jiu ,qi wu liu -san er si yi ling" Nangong Qianrou turned around and said coldly.
Then Su Nan sat down at the table and took out the dishes from the food box one by one.
"Still steaming?"
Looking at the dishes, Nangong Qianrou said with considerable surprise.
In the dead of winter, how come this food box is so warm?
"I watched the cook prepare it, and as soon as it was done, I packed it into a food box and brought it over quickly."
5 Su Nan explained with a smile.
What kind of food container can keep so warm?
However, he had simply used his sword intent to lock the food box along the way, preventing the temperature from escaping.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qianrou's expression softened slightly.
This guy... is really... indescribable.
"My mission is to protect you, so I won't drink alcohol while I'm on duty."
Nangong Qianrou pushed the drinks away.
Su Nan then pushed the wine towards her.
"Such delicious food would be a waste not to drink with it."
"Judging by the time, it should be time to get off work now."
"My legs are about to break from running all the way here, you have to have a drink or two with me."
Nangong Qianrou glanced at Su Nan, then at the wine glass in front of her, grabbed it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Su Nan then slowly poured her another glass of wine.
"That's right."
"Let us drink and sing, for life is short, like morning dew, and the days gone by are many."
Listening to Su Nan's recitation, Nangong Qianrou's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
This guy is usually unserious, but every time he speaks, it's a masterpiece.
If my godfather heard these words, he would probably praise me again.
"Su Zhexian was indeed very talented back then," Nangong Qianrou said calmly.
Su Nan clutched his chest and said, "Xiao Rou, it's too formal of you to call me that."
Nangong Qianrou glanced at it and said, "When you're serious, you have a bit of an ethereal air about you."
"Of course, otherwise other people wouldn't call me that."
"..."
Although the conversation was a bit awkward, it managed to continue.
As they chatted, the atmosphere in the room became less dry.
"Xiaorou, you promised to treat me to abalone."
"We haven't even reached Yunzhou yet?!"
"When you get to Yunzhou, remember to treat me to abalone, and I'll treat you to eel."
"What's so delicious about that stuff? It's disgusting."
"You don't understand. You might not be used to it at first, but you'll like it after you eat it more often."
"I definitely wouldn't like that kind of thing, but the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel might."
"Xiaorou, what are you saying?"
"Heh, you think I don't know what eating eel means?"
"..."
Su Nan could only manage a couple of dry laughs.
"Eating eel is just..."
Nangong Qianrou's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was smug. She had heard her subordinate Tonglu say such things before.
But Nangong Qianrou suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.
If you eat eel...
Then wouldn't eating abalone be...?
Nangong Qianrou's delicate body trembled, and suddenly a surge of blood rushed to her head, blushing her face.
"Southern Jiangsu!!!"
Nangong Qianrou, belatedly realizing what was happening, slammed her right hand heavily on the table.
Hearing the clattering sound from the table, Su Nan felt a chill run down her spine.
"Xiaorou, you agreed!"
"You can't go back on your word!"
"Otherwise, I will tell Wei Yuan about this."
Nangong Qianrou suddenly raised her head and shouted urgently, "Don't tell my godfather!"
……
With Wei Yuan as her protector, Su Nan walked out of Nangong Qianrou's room unharmed.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have gotten out without enduring 180 kinds of torture.
After Su Nan left, Nangong Qianrou lay down on the bed, still fuming.
What a scoundrel! How dare he make fun of me!
Just thinking about it made Nangong Qianrou's face burn.
……
Because of Yan Kai's death, there were no leads in the case, so Governor Zhang did not intend to continue investigating the matter.
Their mission was to go to Yunzhou to investigate Yang Chuan's collusion with bandits.
If you spend too much time in Yuzhou, you'll simply be unable to distinguish between the big and small kings.
After resting for a day in Yuzhou, the group set off again.
Nothing else happened along the way, and we arrived in Qingzhou safely.
They will switch to land travel in Qingzhou.
Traveling by land requires carriages and horses, which the imperial envoy's team did not have; they needed to ask the Qingzhou government for help in arranging them.
Before arriving at Qingzhou Wharf, Governor Zhang met with Su Nan, and the two had a conversation.
"I will need Su Zhexian's help on this trip to Qingzhou."
Su Nan looked puzzled.
Governor Zhang laughed and said, "The Provincial Governor of Qingzhou is Yang Gong, a great Confucian scholar from Yunlu Academy."
"Su Shi's poem 'Sending Yang Gongzhi to Qingzhou from Yunlu Academy' has long been known throughout the Confucian circles of Dafeng."
"..."
Su Nan then remembered that when Zhao Shou took him to Yunlu Academy, Yang Gong happened to be going to Qingzhou, and he took the opportunity to write a poem.
However, Su Nan still didn't quite understand why Governor Zhang wanted to see him.
Could it be that he has some kind of grudge against Yang Gong?
When Governor Zhang realized that Su Nan had misunderstood him, he explained, "It's not that I'm not familiar with Yang Gong."
"In fact, Yang Gong was from Yunlu Academy..."
With just that one sentence, Su Nan understood.
Yang Gong was a great Confucian scholar at Yunlu Academy, but he was not on good terms with the officials in the imperial court.
Governor Zhang and he had no real relationship.
Su Nan was the one who presented the poem, so it would definitely be easier for him to get along with Yang Gong than for Su Nan.
"I see."
Su Nan understood and nodded.
Governor Zhang was relieved and told Su Nan about Yang Gong's recent situation.
