There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 61 The Most Handsome Woman

Gu Ziying replied, "I think I saw Princess Changning. When I got off the carriage, she had just bought writing materials from the Ink Bamboo Pavilion, got back into her carriage, and left."

Li Shuchen: "Really? I didn't see that. You bought the Four Treasures of the Study? When did Princess Changning become interested in learning?"

It's also possible that she suddenly changed her personality; there's nothing wrong with loving to learn.

Li Shuchen said, "Ziying, let's go."

Gu Ziying: "Okay"

After about half an hour (one hour) of travel by carriage, Li Shuchen arrived at the entrance of Ruhai Academy. He told the people inside the academy his demands, and then stood at the entrance for a while.

Li Shuchen felt the sun was too strong, so he got into Ziying's carriage and sat inside waiting for Li Lingxiao to come out. Soon...

"Sister," came the boy's clear voice.

Li Shuchen knew it was Xiao'er who had arrived, and immediately got off the carriage.

Looking up, she saw Young Master Xiao standing behind Li Lingxiao and said, "Young Master Xiao has arrived too."

Xiao Xiuyuan looked at the carriage and replied, "Yes, I'll help Brother Li with his things."

Li Shuchen looked at the Xuan paper. She had clearly told the student that there were two hundred sheets in total, and Xiao'er, a man, should be able to handle them.

Why would Xiao'er trouble Young Master Xiao? Oh~, perhaps he didn't intend for Young Master Xiao to help him carry things, but...

At this moment, Gu Ziying gracefully stepped down from the carriage.

Li Lingxiao politely greeted Gu Ziying, saying, "Hello, Sister Gu."

Gu Ziying nodded slightly and looked at Young Master Xiao, saying, "I'll bring Shu Chen over."

Xiao Xiuyuan smiled and nodded.

Li Shuchen looked at Gu Ziying, whose manners were very refined.

Although she usually did well, Li Shuchen just felt something was different; she was meticulous, too meticulous.

Her every gesture exuded the elegance of a well-bred lady; her movements were absolutely captivating.

Li Shuchen gave Li Lingxiao a few instructions and then prepared to leave.

Li Shuchen bid them farewell: "Xiao'er, I'm going back now. Goodbye, Young Master Xiao."

Gu Ziying greeted him with a smile, "Goodbye, Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Xiuyuan returned the greeting: "Goodbye, Miss Li; farewell, Miss Gu."

Gu Ziying and Li Shuchen boarded the carriage. Inside, Gu Ziying couldn't stop smiling; the smile never faded throughout the journey.

Li Shuchen looked at Gu Ziying. They'd only met once and exchanged a few words; was she really that happy, like she'd won the lottery?

Li Shuchen had never been in a relationship, and she really couldn't understand it.

On the other side, in Ruhai Academy

Xiao Xiuyuan carried a stack of Xuan paper, and Li Lingxiao also carried a stack of Xuan paper, as they walked into the study hall.

Li Lingxiao watched as Brother Xiao's lips curled into a gentle smile, and he felt incredibly happy inside. He thought Brother Xiao was so kind to him, so pleased even to help him carry the Xuan paper.

If Li Shuchen knew what her younger brother was thinking, she would definitely scold him, "Fool!" "Is Young Master Xiao happy because he helped you carry the Xuan paper? No! He's happy because he saw your Sister Gu."

They're still young; they can't even understand this.

However, seeing Ziying happy made Li Shuchen feel good too. It was just that she found Young Master Xiao rather irritating, which was strange. She had found him quite agreeable the first time she met him; what was going on now?

She needs to observe Young Master Xiao more closely to see if he's a good match, lest she waste Ziying's youth.

It's getting hotter and hotter, and Li Shuchen isn't practicing martial arts as diligently as before.

That day, after Li Shuchen finished practicing his moves and came down from the third floor, he habitually glanced into the corridor as he reached the corner on the second floor.

Then they saw a woman in black squatting on the ground, curled up in a ball, her brow furrowed, seemingly in great pain.

Li Shuchen strode over and saw that the woman's heroic face was covered in sweat, her lips were pale, and her hands were tightly clutching her stomach.

Seeing this, Li Shuchen understood that this handsome young woman must have started her period.

So he spoke softly, "Miss, I am the owner of this inn. My name is Li Shuchen. Which room do you need? I'll help you there."

Hearing the voice, the handsome woman looked up and said, "I live in Aoxue Hanmei. Thank you for your help."

Li Shuchen helped her up, feeling that she was so tall, probably a head taller than him, and carefully helped her to the bed.

After she was settled

"Wait for me a moment," Li Shuchen said before hurrying downstairs.

The spirited woman opened her mouth as if to say something, but Li Shuchen walked too fast and didn't have time to speak.

Li Shuchen could tell from her appearance that she was in a lot of pain, so he went to the kitchen and asked Shuang'er to make brown sugar ginger tea.

She turned around and went back to her room, took a clean menstrual pad, and after thinking for a moment, also took a set of clean clothes.

He rushed upstairs to find her, gave her the things, and said, "Hurry up and change, they're all clean."

Before the handsome girl could even say "thank you," Li Shuchen hurriedly left again, making sure to close the door behind him.

Upon arriving at the kitchen, he instructed Shuang'er, "There's a young female guest in 'Proud Snow and Cold Plum Blossoms.' Add a dish of millet, red date, and brown sugar porridge to her meals."

Wang Shuang'er replied, "Yes, Miss."

Li Shuchen brought over a large pot of brown sugar ginger tea.

Knock on the door, open the door

I went inside and took a look. She looked great in her own clothes, with a touch of cuteness mixed with a touch of heroism, though her skirt was a bit short.

Her slender ankles were exposed.

"Have some brown sugar ginger tea. It's freshly made and still warm; it should help relieve the pain."

As Li Shuchen spoke, she poured tea into a small bowl.

The handsome young woman was somewhat flattered and said, "Thank you."

Then he picked up the small bowl and slowly drank it.

Only then did Li Shuchen have time to look at her carefully. Her skin was fair, her features were defined, her eyes were deep, and her jawline was sharp. So handsome! Her looks were etched into her heart.

Li Shuchen was momentarily captivated by the sight of the infatuated girl.

The pretty girl said, "My name is Liang Yuying. Thank you very much."

Listen to that! Not only is he handsome, but even his name is incredibly dashing—a perfect match!

Li Shuchen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just what our inn should do, young lady, you don't need to take it to heart."

Although Li Shuchen said that, Liang Yuying silently remembered this sentiment.

After finishing a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, Liang Yuying put the bowl down.

Seeing that she was feeling much better, with some color returning to her face and lips, Li Shuchen felt relieved. She knew how intense menstruation was for women; every minute was agonizing. That was why she had been in such a hurry, wanting to minimize her suffering.

Li Shuchen caught a glimpse of a sword on the table and the calluses on her hands, and asked, "You know martial arts?"

Liang Yuying clenched her hands, somewhat nervous.

Seeing that Li Shuchen meant no harm, but rather seemed quite curious, he cautiously replied, "I know a little."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen smiled sweetly: "Could you teach me? I've practiced a bit on my own, but I'm afraid my movements aren't standard."

Hearing this, Liang Yuying relaxed considerably and smiled: "Okay."

She was very happy that there was another girl like her who also loved martial arts and practiced on her own. She was not the oddball her father described, nor the strange person the young ladies of the capital spoke of.

Li Shuchen was also very happy. Now someone could teach her martial arts, and she could help those in need without hesitation.
