"No wonder when I came out of the South Courtyard, you were waiting in front of the gate of the North Courtyard?" Ning Nanyou glanced at him and said, "It turned out that she called you?"

"Not bad." Ji Xianzhi nodded, "Madam asked me to find a few servants to go out to buy some vegetables."

Ning Nanyou heard this and responded, then got up from the mat and prepared to go to the east kitchen. As soon as he walked to the threshold, he suddenly stopped and the half-stretched foot was also taken back.

He stood in front of the door and looked at the willow trees in the yard, pondering for a moment to say to Ji Xianzhi: "How many ice is hidden in the mansion?"

"There are still a lot left in the ice hidden..." Ji Xianzhi replied.

Ning Nanyou was silent for a while and said, "Forget it... I'm afraid that cold and hot will make it easier to get cold, so I asked someone to prepare a bowl of summer heat so that she won't get caught in the heat."

Ji Xianzhi heard his concern for Jiang Chengjia and quietly laughed and said, "Okay, I'll do it now."

Ning Nanyou turned sideways and returned to the desk before the case. He accidentally saw Ji Xianzhi leaving the study with a smile on his face. He remembered what he said and made up his mind yesterday.

It was clear that he had agreed with Ji Xianzhi that he would not need to report the news from the North Court in the future; it was clear that he decided not to pay attention to her whereabouts; it clearly did not go to the North Court after he had thought about it. But today... these determinations were overturned again after seeing that she was sick and unconscious and had a high fever.

Ning Nanyou lowered his eyes and looked at the file on the desk in an upset manner. He flipped the bamboo rolls, silk books and folded scrolls on the desk, staring at the dense words for a long time, but he had never read a single word.

Ji Xianzhi instructed the servant to prepare the summer heat treatment, and after a moment he returned to the study. He saw the young man sitting restlessly on the pedestal, and even holding the book in his hand back.

He kindly advised: "If the lord is really worried about the queen, why not go to the East Kitchen to take a look?"

Ning Nanyou was in his thoughts, his ears buzzing. He had never heard what Ji Xianzhi said, but just stared at the reversed file in his hand.

"Lord?" Ji Xianzhi called out again when he saw that he did not respond.

Ning Nanyou subconsciously said "um", woke up, raised his eyes and looked at the door: "Uncle Ji...what happened again?"

Ji Xianzhi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, lord, there is Zhou Yuanmo and Lu Xun who are guarding you outside, so there will be no problem for the time being."

Ning Nanyou nodded in dismay, and vaguely remembered that Ji Xianzhi seemed to have said something to him just now, so he asked, "What did Uncle Ji say just now? I... didn't hear it clearly."

"I think that if the lord is not worried about the young lady, it is better to go to the East Kitchen to take a look. This is a bowl of summer heat-relieving medicine... It's not as good as lord, please go and take a look in person..." Ji Xianzhi persuaded.

Ning Nanyou bent his eyebrows slightly and said lightly: "Uncle Ji... I said yesterday... There is no need to tell me the news from the North Court... Why... Are you still trying to persuade me to see her now?"

"If the lord really didn't want to see the lady, he wouldn't have gone to the North Courtyard last night..." Ji Xianzhi curled his lips and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"How do you know me..." Ning Nanyou's eyes stagnated, and he stopped asking again. While he was talking to Ji Xianzhi, he had already revealed the fact that he had been to the North Courtyard yesterday and had visited Jiang Chengjia... In fact, there was nothing to hide.

He laughed, lowered his head and said to himself, "After all, I... I'm still questioning you here."

Ji Xianzhi walked forward and sat down beside him. He took off the book in Ning Nanyou's hand, put away the wolf-brush docked on the inkstone, and then sorted it out for a while, saying, "If the lord really wants to see you, you don't have to hide it. This is not good. Although you want to maintain a relationship with the Princess Nanyang, you shouldn't ignore the rumors in this mansion. Although the servants and maids in the mansion are all old people, you can't say that you will go out to buy outsiders on a day.

After chatting... I told the news in the mansion... At this critical moment, I am afraid that others will know that the widow of Wei, Li, and her husband, will cause the trust and support of the Li family to collapse. After all,... for so many years, Li has relied on her strong and chaste and loyalty to Wei Cao, so that the Wei family's grandfather and grandmother liked him as much as that, and could gain a foothold in the Wei family."

Ning Nanyou turned sideways and looked at Ji Xianzhi's eyes. After hearing his words, he first said silently, and then laughed quietly.

Ji Xianzhi was looking for reasons for him to see Jiang Chengjia.

If the servants in the commanding office really tell the matter in the house to outsiders, then Ji Xianzhi, the manager of the government, doesn't have to do it. Over the years, they have only deliberately released the news in the office, but no servant dared to accidentally reveal it as Ji Xianzhi said.

But Li Xiangjun doesn't know about these things.

These days, the reason he has been hiding from Jiang Chengjia is because he is afraid that Li Xiangjun will think too much. But if he had to go to the North Court because he took into account Li Xiangjun's reputation, he would probably have been able to evade the suspicious Li Xiangjun.

In the past, he had never thought about this.

"Uncle Ji wants to find a reason for me and A Luo... There is no need to belittle his ability to deal with things. If the servants and maids in the commanding office spread the news in the house, then are you still Uncle Ji I know?" Ning Nanyou joked.

"If the lord understands that the old slave has worked hard, he shouldn't force himself... You have worked hard enough in your life. If you feel comfortable with the young lady, don't continue to hide." Ji Xianzhi saw that he understood the meaning of his words so quickly, so he replied slowly.

Ning Nanyou knew his painstaking efforts and concerns, and a warm gaze appeared in his eyes and said lightly: "I understand... Uncle Ji."

He stood up and finally prepared to go to the East Kitchen. Ji Xianzhi felt a little relieved and happy in his heart when he saw that he was persuaded.

Unexpectedly, before the two of them left the garden, they saw the concierge running towards the backyard from the corridor, walked straight to them, and said respectfully: "Male!"

Ning Nanyou stopped and looked at the panting gatekeeper A Liu and asked, "What's wrong? Are you so anxious?"

The concierge A Liu took a deep breath, still breathing heavily, and said intermittently: "Master Chen Xu was waiting at the door and asked the slave to come and spread it, saying that a banquet had been set up in Laifu Restaurant. The king of Wuhu Meng Jian was waiting, so he asked the male king to dress quickly and leave the house with his sword, and go with him Laifu and meet with the king of Wuhu."

Ji Xianzhi frowned and murmured to himself: "Why is it at this time?"

He looked at the lie sun hanging high on the roof and looked at Ning Nanyou's face again, feeling that the young man's face was dark and covered with gloomy at this time, as if he was extremely unhappy.

The young man stood there without saying a word, staring coldly at the doorman Aliu who was kneeling on the ground.

After a while, before Ji Xianzhi could speak, the young man turned around and sighed at him, "This time I went... I was afraid I would not return for dinner. I made an appointment with Aluo to go to my mother's place... In this way, I would also bother Uncle Ji to say to her for me. I will definitely accompany her next day."

The young man looked down at his outfit and felt that nothing was wrong. He said to the concierge called Aliu: "Go and prepare horses. I'll leave the mansion now."

Before Ji Xianzhi could say something to Ning Nanyou, the young man with a black bamboo leaf and white jade crown followed the gate of Aliu Chao who had hurriedly walked.

He looked at Ning Nanyou who was gradually moving away, shook his head with some care and helplessness, and then went to the east kitchen alone.

Ji Xianzhi remembered the scene when Jiang Chengjia ordered people to take him to the North Courtyard this morning. The woman, who had not smiled for a long time, was intriguing to him to arrange for servants and maids to go out to buy.

For the dinner agreed with the lord, as soon as the servants and maids who went out to buy returned to the house, she happily called someone to move the ingredients to the East Kitchen, took the arms that were pressed at the bottom of the box, rolled up her sleeves and prepared in the kitchen. If she knew that the lord would not come back for a meal, how could she be lost?

He went to Dongchu with great worries.

From a distance, I saw Qianshan and Xiaocui busy in the outer courtyard. Jiang also carried a basket of vegetables in and out, and a strong fragrance wafted across the east courtyard. I don’t know what delicious food I made.

Ji Xianzhi didn't dare to go in. He stood not far away and looked at him for a while. Seeing that although Jiang Nu was sweating profusely, she was still in good condition, so she felt relieved and was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, Qian Shan, with sharp eyes, saw his figure.

Only Qian Shan called out from behind: "Mr. Ji!"

Ji Xianzhi's back froze, and the sound of running thuds came from his ears. With helplessness, he turned around. Qianshan had already untied the climbing arms on his hands, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and slightly tidied up his clothes and bowed to him, "You are here in the East Kitchen... Is there anything wrong with finding a lady?"

"There is nothing else... but the lord told me to cook a bowl of summer heat-relieving medicine for my daughter. I want to ask the daughter to pay more attention to her body." Ji Xianzhi replied.

When Qianshan heard this, she looked happy and said, "Lord, do you really say this?"

When Ji Xianzhi saw her happy, he sighed slightly in his heart, nodded and said, "Can there be any fake?"

Qianshan was happy for her master and bowed to Ji Xianzhi again and said, "Thank you Ji Xianzhi for telling me, I will inform the lady." She turned around and was about to run into the stove.

Ji Xianzhi hurriedly called her and said, "Wait a minute."

Qianshan stopped and turned to her side and asked, "Mr. Ji has something to explain?"

Ji Xianzhi closed his eyes, thinking that since he was here anyway, he might as well inform Jiang Nu that Ning Nanyou was gone quickly to prevent her from being really hit by the heat due to excessive work later.

"The Lord has an agreement and has just left the house, I am afraid I will not be able to return after dinner..."

Qianshan was stunned and said blankly: "After saying this... the lord can't have dinner with the daughter?"

The girl's face showed a look of disappointment, and she was more worried about the same kind of feelings as him.
