Wishful Things

"Wu Chao?"

She tried calling out, but got no response.

It can't be hijacked suddenly, can it?

"Miss Xu."

At this time, Xiao Qi, who was guarding in the dark, came out, stepped forward and explained: "My son went to the front."

Xu Mingyi glanced forward subconsciously, and asked with some doubts: "What did he do?"

"My son didn't say anything."

Xu Mingyi became more and more puzzled.

Didn't say?

Does that take a long time to come back?

Shouldn't he even be leaving?

Although it's a bit ridiculous, but this person's mind always likes to think too much, who knows if there will be another muscle that is wrong all of a sudden?

"It's windy outside, why don't you give the things to the subordinates, the young lady, and the subordinates to the young master." Xiaoqi said thoughtfully.

What if the young master suddenly has an urgent matter and doesn't come back? By doing this, he not only smoothed things over on his own initiative, but also helped the young master get the things. It was the best of both worlds.

"Also."

Xu Mingyi gave the brocade box to Xiaoqi, and turned around to go in.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching here.

Looking back, I saw a slender young man walking quickly, with the light behind his back so that people could not see his appearance clearly, but this did not prevent Xu Mingyi from recognizing him at a glance.

"My son 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 still think you're gone."

"How could I leave without saying goodbye." Wu Chao stuffed a paper bag into her arms.

Xu Mingyi looked down, and said in surprise, "Hawthorn Snowball?"

How did he know she liked to eat this?

"Well, for digestion."

Xu Mingyi glanced at him upon hearing this.

Does this mean she ate too much tonight?

And the next moment, another thing was stuffed by him.

"There are also these snacks, I bought some at will." Wu Chao said: "Eating too much hawthorn appetizers, in case you are hungry at night, eat these."

She looked like she hadn't eaten well on the way, and she was a lot thinner than before he left Beijing, which made her feel distressed.

Xu Mingyi couldn't help laughing.

He also told her to digest food, and bought snacks for her to eat at night. Do you think she ate too much or too little?

"It's getting late, so I can only buy these, and I'll deal with them first. I'll take you to the west of the city for breakfast tomorrow morning." Wu Chao said.

Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement, smiled and said with emotion: "You are so considerate as a landlord, compared to 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 Prince's Mansion in Beijing, and my parents are there, but now you are in Ningyang, and I am the only one."

Under such circumstances, he should take care of everything about her.

Xu Mingyi was noncommittal, his smile deepened, dimples loomed on his cheeks.

Seeing her smile, a faint smile appeared in Wu Chao's eyes, and he urged in a warm voice, "Come in."

Xu Mingyi nodded: "It's cold in the night, you should go back soon."

Wu Chao said "Mmm", with a smile in his voice.

Seeing her turn around, he suddenly thought again: "Where is Xiangwan?"

Xu Ming replied without turning his head: "It's already given to Xiao Qi, just remember to smoke one pill every night."

Wu Chao turned his head to look at the smiling attendant beside him.

Oh, he remembered, just now when he came back, he saw Xiaoqi and Miss Xu standing together talking.

"Young master, here it is..." Under the gaze of her young master, Xiao Qi gradually put away her smile, and carefully handed over the brocade box.

Why does the young master seem to have the feeling that he is not pleasing to the eye again? Is he not doing well enough?

Wu Chao took the things, got on his horse and left.

...

Wu Chao got off his horse outside the gate of Dingnan Prince's Mansion, and immediately someone from the door greeted him.

"Grandson, you can be counted back."

Wu Chao glanced at the gatekeeper.

"What happened?"

He dealt with family affairs on weekdays, and it was normal for him to leave early and return late, so the other party's sentence "I'm finally back" seemed a bit abnormal.

"There is a person who has been waiting for his grandson for quite a while." The doorman said: "This person claims to be the guard at the south gate. He said that he has something important to report to you, and he insisted that he must meet your face and personally Tell you..."

City gate guard?

Wu Chao asked, "Where is the man?"

"Just waiting inside, the old slave was afraid that he would freeze to death again, so he sent people into the gatehouse to wait—"

As soon as the words fell, a young man came out, obviously fell asleep just now, rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly saluted: "The villain has seen the 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 end up after entering the city——

Thinking of these, Wu Chao felt quite happy.

"Good job."

He praised the guard and gestured to Xiaoqi with his eyes.

Xiaoqi understood, and immediately took out two gold leaves from the purse and handed them over.

The master obviously "loves the house and the crow" because this matter has something to do with Miss Xu, and this guard is especially pleasing to the eye. This time, he must not be wrong, right?

"This... how can a villain receive a reward from his grandson!" The guard was extremely astonished—he had the opportunity to pass on a message to his grandson, he already felt that he was lucky, how could there be a reward? And such a precious reward!

"Take it quickly." Xiao Qi forced it into his hand.

The guard smiled shyly, and had no choice but to salute repeatedly: "My villain, thank you for your reward..."

Wu Chao nodded slightly, and walked in.

The guard watched him off for a long time before heaving a heavy sigh.

It was the first time he saw his grandson so close today, and he had to say, this looks too good-looking, right?

And he treats people so kindly and generously, he just passed on a word, and got two gold leaves...

May I ask, who wouldn't love such a young man?

He swore that he would never roll his eyes and say that the girls around him were superficial when they discussed Wu Shisun obsessively! Woohoo, he wants to join them!

...

When Wu Chao returned to the courtyard, Ah Yuan hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare hot water for washing and bathing.

After bathing and changing clothes, the young man with jade-like eyebrows and slightly wet black hair threw a fragrant pill into the incense burner.

Ah Yuan looked at it strangely.

Why did the young master burn incense himself?

"My lord, this incense pill doesn't look like something in our room." Ah Yuan said curiously.

"Well, don't let anyone touch it."

Wu Chao put the porcelain vase in the bookcase and confessed.

"The villain has written it down." Ah Yuan replied confusedly.

After turning off the lights, Wu Chao got up after sleeping for only an hour.

Ah Yuan, who was sleeping outside, heard the movement and walked in in a daze, only to see that his son had already lit the lamp by himself and was getting dressed at this time.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"We agreed to have breakfast together." The refreshed young man said in a cheerful tone.

Ah Yuan said "Ah?", and glanced out of the still dark window - if the place where the young master eats breakfast is not three hundred miles away, I'm afraid there is no reasonable explanation for why he got up so early, right?

Thanks to book friends such as Qinghan, Hexing, Nuannuan 2016, Yanzhihu 1, Xiuxian, etc. for their rewards.

Good night.
