At this time, Xiao Qi, who was staying in the dark, came out and stepped forward to explain: "My young master went to the front."
Xu Mingyi subconsciously glanced ahead and asked with some confusion: "What did he do?"
"Young Master didn't say anything."
Xu Mingyi became increasingly puzzled.
Didn't say?
Will it take a long time to come back?
You shouldn't even leave directly, right?
Although it is a bit ridiculous, this person's mind always likes to think too much. Who knows if something will suddenly go wrong again?
"It's windy outside, why don't you let me give the things to my subordinates? I'll just pass them on to you," Xiao Qi said considerately.
What if the young master suddenly has something urgent and doesn't come back? By doing this, he not only took the initiative to smooth things over, but also helped the young master get the things. It was the best of both worlds.
"That's fine."
Xu Mingyi gave the brocade box to Xiao Qi and turned around to go in.
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard rapid footsteps approaching here.
When he turned around, he saw a tall young man walking towards him quickly. His appearance was difficult to see clearly due to the light behind him, but this did not prevent Xu Mingyi from recognizing him at a glance.
"My young master is back." Xiao Qi also saw it and said to Xu Mingyi with a smile.
Wu Chao strode over.
Xu Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were gone."
"How could I leave without saying goodbye?" Wu Chao stuffed a paper bag into her arms.
Xu Mingyi looked down and said with some surprise: "Hawthorn Snowball?"
How did he know she liked to eat this?
"Yeah, something for digestion."
Xu Mingyi glanced at him after hearing this.
Does this mean she ate too much tonight?
And the next moment, another item was shoved over to him.
"There are also these snacks, I bought some at random." Wu Chao said: "Eating too much hawthorn will stimulate your appetite. In case you are hungry at night, just eat these."
She clearly looked like she hadn't had a good meal along the way, and she was a lot thinner than before she left Beijing, which was very distressing to look at.
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but laugh.
He also told her to eat less and bought snacks for her to eat at night. Do you think she ate too much or too little?
"It's getting late, so we can only buy these. Let's deal with it first. I'll take you to the west of the city for breakfast tomorrow morning." Wu Chao said.
Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement and sighed with a smile: "You are so considerate in showing your friendship as a landlord. In comparison, when I was in Beijing before, it seemed that I was too negligent."
"How can this be the same?"
She was joking, but the young man's expression showed seriousness: "I have Dingnan Palace in the capital, and my father and mother are both here, but now you are in Ningyang, and I am the only one."
Under this circumstance, he should take good care of everything about her.
Xu Mingyi was noncommittal, her smile deepened, and the pear dimples on her cheeks were looming.
Seeing her smile, a faint smile appeared in Wu Chao's eyes, and he urged in a warm voice: "Come in quickly."
Xu Mingyi nodded: "It's cold at night, so you should go back quickly."
Wu Chao said "Hmm" with a smile in his voice.
Seeing her turn around, he suddenly thought: "Where is Xiangwan?"
Xu Mingyi replied without looking back: "I've already given it to Xiao Qi. Just remember to smoke one pill every night."
Wu Chao turned his head and looked at the smiling entourage beside him.
Oh, he remembered. When he came back just now, he saw Xiao Qi and Miss Xu standing together talking.
"Master, here you go..." Under the gaze of his own master, Xiao Qi gradually put away his smile and carefully handed over the brocade box.
Why does the young master's feeling of being displeased with him seem to have reappeared? Is it because he didn't do enough?
Wu Chao took the things, mounted his horse and left.
…
Wu Chao dismounted his horse outside the gate of Prince Dingnan's Mansion, and was immediately greeted by someone from the palace.
"Shisun, you are finally back."
Wu Chao glanced at the doorman.
"What happened?"
It was normal for him to deal with family affairs and go out early and come home late, so the other party's words "I'm finally back" seemed a bit unusual.
"There is a man who has been waiting for Shisun for a long time." The doorman said: "This man claims to be the guard at the south city gate. He said that he has something important to report to you, and he insists that he must see you in person.
Tell you..."
Gate guard?
Wu Chao asked: "Where is the person?"
"Just waiting inside. The old slave was afraid of freezing people again, so he asked people to go into the concierge and wait -"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man came out. He had obviously fallen asleep just now. He rubbed his eyes and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen my grandson!"
"What do you want to tell me?"
The guard walked closer to him, lowered his voice and explained what happened at the city gate today.
Only then did Wu Chao understand.
It turned out that she entered the city with his jade pendant, and asked someone to tell him where she would stay after entering the city——
Thinking of these, Wu Chao felt quite happy.
“Well done.”
He praised the guard and gestured to Xiao Qi with his eyes.
Xiao Qi understood, and immediately took out two gold pages from the money bag and handed them over.
The master obviously "loves the house and the bird" because this matter is related to Miss Xu. Seeing that the guard is particularly pleasing to the eye, he must not have made a mistake this time, right?
"How can this...little man accept the reward from the grandson!" The guard was extremely shocked - he already felt that he was lucky to have the opportunity to send a message to the grandson. How could he still get a reward? And it was such a precious reward.
!
"Take it quickly." Xiao Qi forced it into his hand.
The guard smiled sheepishly and could only salute repeatedly: "I would like to thank my grandson for the reward..."
Wu Chao nodded slightly and walked in.
The guard watched for a long time before sighing heavily.
Today was the first time that he saw his grandson so close. He had to say that he looked too good-looking, right?
And being so kind and generous to others, he just passed the word and got two golden pages...
I wonder who could not love such a young man?
He swore that he would never roll his eyes and say they were superficial when the ladies around him were discussing Wu Shisun infatuatedly! Woohoo, he wanted to join them!
…
When Wu Chao returned to the courtyard, Ah Yuan hurriedly asked the boys to prepare hot water for washing and bathing.
After bathing and changing clothes, the young man with jade-like features and slightly damp black hair put a fragrant pill into the incense burner.
A Yuan was surprised.
Why did the young master burn the incense himself?
"Sir, these fragrant pills don't look like the ones in our room." A Yuan said curiously.
"Well, don't let anyone touch it."
Wu Chao put the porcelain vase into the bookcase and made an explanation.
"The villain has taken note of it." Ah Yuan responded with confusion.
After turning off the lights, Wu Chao got up after sleeping for only an hour.
Ah Yuan, who was sleeping outside, heard the noise and walked in in a daze. He saw that his young master had already lit the lamp by himself and was getting dressed.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"We agreed to have breakfast together." The refreshing young man said in a pleasant tone.
Ah Yuan said "Huh?" and glanced out the still dark window - if the place where the young master had breakfast was not three hundred miles away, I'm afraid there would be no reasonable explanation for why he got up so early, right?
