The Boss Transmigrated Into A Matriarchy Novel (Quick Transmigration ARC 4) Chapter 136(7)

It’s always good to have extra pastries on hand; if he meets that person, he can give her some.

“Alright, tomorrow morning Father will give the order to prepare plenty of food for our young master, lest this little darling goes hungry…”

Master Li smiled and pinched Qiao Yun’s cheek, his face full of affection.

“Oh dear! I need to tell A-Liang to prepare an extra cloak; it’s always quite chilly up in the mountains…”

Qiao Yun crawled out of Li Shi’s arms, muttering to himself as he hurried toward his own courtyard.

This cloak must be a color that can be worn by both men and women; she doesn’t even have any clothes to cover her body, so she must be freezing at night.

Young masters from various families are not allowed to bring servants to the academy, but if they go out, they have no choice but to have servants accompany them, since no young master would carry large bags and small packages up the mountain by himself!

Qiao Yun kept looking out the carriage window the whole way. A Liang leaned over to take a look, but didn’t see anything interesting to stare at.

“Young master, what are you looking at? Your eyes are practically glued to the window…”

Qiao Yun pursed his lips, a gentle smile on his face, and said, “Azure sky, yellow leaves on the ground, autumn colors stretch across the mountains, and cold mist hangs over the mountains.”

A-Liang pouted in dissatisfaction and said aggrievedly, “Is Young Master taking advantage of A-Liang’s lack of knowledge in poetry and literature?”

“Autumn is the best season. You have a rare opportunity to come out of the manor with me. Take a good look and remember it. You can look back on the autumn scenery when you are working in the future.”

“But Ah Liang accompanies you on this road four times a year, so there’s nothing left to miss.”

Ah Liang always felt that the young master had something on his mind ever since that incident. He was worried that the young master had been bullied by someone outside, but when he was serving the young master a bath, he secretly looked and saw that the young master’s virginity mark was still there. He wondered what the young master was thinking about.

A faint longing, a drunken sorrow, I cannot stop, when will it end?

The carriage stopped at the foot of the green hills. The young gentlemen, all wearing veils, stepped down from the carriages, their delicate fragrance adding a rich touch to the autumn scenery of the hills.

These young noblemen were all as handsome as jade, with unparalleled beauty.

He is as beautiful as a peach blossom in spring and as pure as a chrysanthemum in autumn.

Shedding their usual uniforms from the academy and donning their own preferred attire, even the teachers who had watched them grow up couldn’t help but feel a sense of delight.

His demeanor was refined and virtuous, his skin delicate and his figure well-proportioned.

These handsome young men are hard to miss standing here, so for their safety, the Dean specially asked the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture to invite guards to protect them. These young men are all the little darlings of their families, and in the future they will be the husbands and wives of the young ladies of various noble families in the capital. They cannot be taken lightly!

After assigning them the tasks of painting and writing poetry, the teacher reminded them to be careful and then let them go off to play.

These young masters were all pampered children, and none of them had the strength to go too far. Most of them would wander around at the foot of the mountain, and then find a nice spot to spread out a blanket and sit down to rest.

Qiao Yun lifted the hem of his dress and kept walking uphill, while Du Shujing followed behind, panting heavily.

“Yun… Yun’er, don’t walk anymore, I can’t walk anymore.”

The two servants, carrying large and small bags, also stopped, wiping the sweat from their foreheads as they looked at Qiao Yun with pleading expressions.

“Shujing, wait for me here. I’ll go take a look at that tree and then come down.”

Qiao Yun pointed to the pine trees halfway up the mountain and said to Du Shujing.

Du Shujing waved to Qiao Yun, clutching his stomach, and said, “Then be careful. I really can’t walk anymore, so I won’t go up with you.”

Qiao Yun gritted his teeth and walked uphill step by step. His feet were already aching terribly, but he still refused to stop.

Standing under the old pine tree, Qiao Yun looked towards the dilapidated temple in the distance, and a smile crept onto his lips.

Ignoring the sweat on his forehead, Qiao Yun stared blankly, as if the woman who had not only saved him but also protected him all night and carried him home was standing right there.

Qiao Yun felt aches all over his body, but his heart, which had been empty for several days, was full.

I had been standing there for quite a while without realizing it, until my feet were numb.”Yun’er, come down quickly!”

Du Shujing’s voice came from below. Qiao Yun glanced at his classmates at the foot of the mountain, who had already set out pastries, before reluctantly looking again in the direction of the dilapidated temple and slowly walking down.

Du Shujing, being astute and perceptive, naturally noticed that something was amiss with Qiao Yun.

After sending the two servants to sit some distance away, Du Shujing took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Qiao Yun’s forehead. He then leaned close to Qiao Yun’s rosy cheeks and whispered, “Yun’er, are you hiding something from me?”

Qiao Yun avoided looking at Du Shujing, unable to tell him the truth, but also unwilling to lie to him.

Du Shujing was Qiao Yun’s best friend. The two had played together since childhood and had always been companions at the academy. Du Shujing had never lied to Qiao Yun about anything, even about his aunt wanting him to go to the palace.

Qiao Yun felt guilty, after all, Du Shujing was as important to him as his own sister.

“Yun’er, you haven’t been acting right these past few days. Is there something you can’t even tell me?”

Qiao Yun looked at Du Shujing’s worried eyes, pursed his lips, and finally couldn’t bear to lie to him. He told Du Shujing about how he was captured and then rescued.

Du Shujing frowned and asked in confusion, “According to what you’re saying, the person behind you must have found some skilled people to pretend to be drunkards. That little beggar scared them with one move, so her skills are even more impressive. Why would she be willing to be a beggar instead of going out to find another way to make a living?”

Qiao Yun shook his head gently; he couldn’t figure it out either!

However, judging from her words and manner of speaking, it was clear that she was no ordinary person, yet it was still incomprehensible why she would willingly become a beggar.

“Do you know the name of your benefactor? I’ll go back and ask my sisters to help you find out…”

Du Shujing’s elder sister works in the Ministry of Revenue, and she can find out about people with some status in the capital.

Qiao Yun bit her lip and clearly uttered a single word: “Jun…”

“Jun?”

“The reflection holds the clear water, and the shadows gather on the long green moss.” Thinking of that person’s words, Qiao Yun couldn’t help but say.

“Jun…I suppose her status isn’t bad.”

Du Shujing nodded knowingly. Judging from the name, this woman couldn’t be from an ordinary family. Perhaps she was a phoenix who had fallen to earth!

“Shujing, do you think so too?”

Qiao Yun excitedly grasped Du Shujing’s hand, overjoyed by his words that his status wouldn’t be bad.

Du Shujing then realized something was wrong and gripped Qiao Yun’s hand tightly, saying, “Yun’er, you…you wouldn’t…”

Seeing that Qiao Yun did not respond, Du Shujing said worriedly, “Yun’er, you are the eldest son of the Left Prime Minister’s family. Lord Qiao will not allow you to marry a woman who has no achievements and no family background. Moreover, that woman… she is a beggar!”
