Li Qingzhao A few people quietly went downstairs, and from a distance, they saw Shi Jin talking to the shopkeeper in front of a carriage. They saw Shi Jin take a document from the shopkeeper's hand and then get on the carriage. Zhao Yuhuan said, "I really don't know what Shi Da gave that girl to make her leave with him like this."
Li Qingzhao looked at the carriage and said, "It may be related to the woman's facial illness."
Zhao Yuhuan looked at her in surprise. Li Qingzhao smiled and said, "I'm just guessing. If I were in her shoes and someone told me they could cure me, I would also go without hesitation."
Although Zhao Yuhuan thought Li Qingzhao made sense, considering Shi Jin's age, she ultimately felt it was unlikely. She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's a case of desperate measures."
Li Qingzhao said, "That is also a hope." Then, after a moment of contemplation, she took off the sword by her side and handed it to peony.
"I took Shi Da's poem, it's not right to take it for nothing. You go catch up and give this sword to him."
peony agreed and went to catch up.
After Shi Jin and Li Shishi came downstairs, they met the waiter who had retrieved Li Shishi's contract. Seeing the waiter's happy expression, Shi Jin knew that the guy had managed to get some benefits from the madam.
After checking the documents for accuracy, he got into the car and prepared to return home.
"Shiro-san, please wait!"
A delicate voice called out.
Shi Jin lifted the car curtain and saw peony running towards him, panting. Upon seeing Shi Jin, peony handed him a long sword, saying, "My young master said it's not right to take Shiro-san's things for free. This sword is a gift for you, sir." Shi Jin was taken aback, took the sword, but before he could examine it closely, peony turned and left.
Shi Jin Following her direction, he saw the scholar standing next to an exquisite carriage. When Shi Jin looked over, the scholar bowed to him. Shi Jin hurriedly returned the gesture, feeling a bit embarrassed. It was clear that his earlier comment about the flowers had been overheard, and the sword in return was quite unique.
Put down the car curtain, Shi Jin looked at the long sword in his hand. The sword was three feet long, with a sheath made of shark skin and the hilt wrapped with fine silk thread, emitting a faint fragrance, which should be the lingering fragrance of the scholar's palm. Shi Jin couldn't help but smile slightly, grasped the hilt of the sword, pressed the spring, and a clear and cold light flashed.
The exposed blade is sharp and adorned with a snowflake pattern.
Shi Jin's expression changed slightly. He had originally thought it was just a decorative sword, but he didn't expect it to be a real blade, and a good one at that. He noticed two seal characters on the blade and was trying to identify them when a delicate voice beside him said, "Zhan Kong? That's a strange name! Isn't it ill fortune to swing a sword at nothing?"
But Li Shishi curiously leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but ask aloud. Shi Jin smiled slightly and said, "After drawing the sword, with me undefeated, everything before my eyes is empty, that is the right solution." Li Shishi shrank back and whispered, "Such a strong killing intent!"
Shi Jin Closed the sword and felt puzzled. This sword is not an ordinary item, yet the scholar actually gave it away so generously. I wonder which noble lady it belongs to?
Meanwhile, on the carriage, Zhao Yuhuan was teasing Li Qingzhao.
"That sword is worth at least a hundred guan, and yet you are willing to just give it away like that." Li Qingzhao replied calmly, "I obtained the sword unintentionally. It is a fine sword, but to me, it is just an ornament collecting dust. It would be better to find it a good owner." Zhao Yuhuan chuckled, "Are you sure that Shi Da is a good owner?"
Li Qingzhao paused for a moment before saying, "Anyone who can write such poetry must be quite remarkable."
Zhao Yuhuan replied melodiously, "A sword is given to a hero, and beauty is paired with a consort. If it was received without intention but given with sincerity, should he not present you with a box of fragrant powder next time you meet?"
Li Qingzhao's face flushed as she said, "Having poetry is enough for me. Those two poems are priceless; I have truly gained a lot."
Zhao Yuhuan lamented, "You've taken all the benefits, and I haven't gained anything."
Li Qingzhao felt a bit embarrassed and could only say, "How about asking for something else?"
"Something else?" Zhao Yuhuan propped up her chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "What do you think about having Shi Da serve as my husband?"
Li Qingzhao was stunned at the words, while Zhao Yuhuan giggled and lay on the table.
In another carriage, Li Shishi finally asked the question that was most important to her.
"Master, can you really cure my facial ailment?"
Li Qingzhao guessed right, at that time Shi Jin used the words "I can cure your facial ailment" to make Li Shishi choose him.
Shi Jin could understand her concern and said to her, "Take off the mask."
Li Shishi Stunned for a moment, although feeling nervous, she obediently took off her mask, revealing a face covered with red bumps, which was quite scary.
Shi Jin However, he seemed indifferent, instead, he approached and carefully examined her. He even brought his nose close, fanning his hand and sniffing.
Li Shishi Lowered her shy head, her slender neck like a swan, heart beating faster.
Shi Jin But he didn't stop, actually reaching out his finger to gently slide on her cheek.
Li Shishi is both shy and scared, and her body trembles uncontrollably, her heart beating so fast it feels like it's about to jump out of her chest. She didn't expect this person to be a perverted lecher, harassing her in the car! "Don't be nervous, I just want to see what cosmetics you're using."
Shi Jin saw tears in Li Shishi's eyes, looking like a pitiful lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He knew she had misunderstood something, so he flicked his finger and then brought it to his nose to smell before explaining, "Cosmetics?" Although Li Shishi didn't know what "cosmetics" meant, seeing Shi Jin's calm face and clear eyes, she felt a bit more at ease. "Cosmetics?" she asked in confusion.
Shi Jin nodded and casually said, "Hmm, it's just rouge and such."
Li Shishi finally understood, but Shi Jin's next sentence made her heart race.
"When was the first time you period came?"
Li Shishi Embarrassed and shy, she lowered her eyes and answered softly, "Six months ago."
Shi Jin nodded, took a step back, and reached out his hand.
"Give me your hand."
Li Shishi reached out her hand, with slender fingers like newly sprouted onion shoots.
Shi Jin held her hand, rubbing it gently, feeling the cool, slightly trembling touch. The young girl blushed with embarrassment.
Shi Jin took another look at Li Shishi's feet, and Li Shishi was so scared that she pulled her lotus feet back into her skirt. Fortunately, Shi Jin had no intention of making her take off her shoes. "Your hands and feet must not be warm throughout the year, right?" Shi Jin asked.
Li Shishi nodded and said, "My hands and feet are cold all year round, only feeling better in the summer."
"You can't sleep well either? period Do you have stomach pain when it comes?"
"Mm." Li Shishi looked up in surprise at Shi Jin and nodded.
She sleeps lightly, and the pain becomes unbearable when period arrives. She naturally feels embarrassed to talk about such private matters, but Shi Jin casually mentions it, as if he had witnessed it firsthand, which gives her a little more confidence.
Shi Jin releases her hand, adjusts his posture, and closes his eyes to focus on feeling her pulse.
Li Shishi relaxes a bit and steals a glance at Shi Jin's focused expression.
The young man in front of her is indeed handsome, with dark sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, thin lips, and a somewhat pale, chiseled face.
After a moment, Shi Jin opens his eyes and releases her hand.
Li Shishi quickly lowers her eyes, then raises them again, looking at him hopefully.
Shi Jin tapped the table twice and said, "It's not a big problem. When you go back, I'll give you some medicine to drink and apply some ointment. If it goes well, you'll be looking great in just half a month."
Li Shishi's facial condition is not complicated.
She has a congenital cold constitution, which means her yang energy is insufficient, leading to a slight imbalance of yin and yang.
It must be that after Li Shishi arrived in Bianliang, she had trouble adjusting to the local environment, which coincided with her developmental period, exacerbating the issue and causing acne. Generally, with some time for recuperation, the condition can be controlled. However, the main issue is the cosmetics she used, which contained allergens, leading to prolonged skin problems. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is described as an imbalance of yin and yang leading to invasion by external pathogens, while in Western medicine, it is referred to as an imbalance of endocrine system and skin allergies.
Once the cause is found, it can be easily treated.
Li Shishi was overjoyed and suddenly knelt down to kowtow to Shi Jin, crying, "Thank you, young master, for your grace!"
Shi Jin hurriedly pulled her up and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry to kneel? Aren't you afraid I'll deceive you?"
Li Shishi was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Young master, you didn't deceive me, did you?"
Shi Jin laughed heartily and reached out to flick her nose, "Why would I deceive a little girl like you?"
Li Shishi was startled, shrank back, widened her eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed, but her heart was relieved. She just hoped to get home soon to get her medicine.
Shi Jin could understand Li Shishi's feelings. Her job originally relied on her youth. Li Shishi almost fell into despair due to her facial condition, but now things have turned around, and it's understandable that she might lose her composure.
After returning home, Shi Jin ignored Dujian's strange look and asked her to arrange a room for Li Shishi to settle in. Then he wrote a prescription for her to go and get some medicine. At this time, Shi Jin thought of Wang Jin again and couldn't bear to give up. After some consideration, he asked Dujian to buy some nourishing supplements for the elderly and sent them in the name of visiting mother Wang. He was preparing to do some undercover work.
After finishing these tasks, Shi Jin also felt tired and went back to his room to sleep. Little did he know that his actions today were like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples to spread.
