Chapter 1425 Famine and Natural Disaster 583
Buwei stood outside the courtyard, watching his master enter the courtyard in front of him; he sighed deeply, his master was really controlled by Miss Cheng. After all, he was the prince of the northwest, and he always took the initiative to show his courtesy.

Miss Cheng is also very capable. She has her master in her hands without even realizing it.

Zhou Ting walked into the flower hall. There was no one there. He looked towards the small study first. There was a figure there, vaguely visible.

"Yiyi?"

Mingyi, who was reading a book attentively, heard the familiar voice and looked up in a daze. Seeing Zhou Ting coming with a lot of bags through the beaded curtain, she stood up and walked out with a start.

"Chao Sheng, why are you here?" Her pretty face was full of joy and her words were excited.

Seeing her rosy complexion and energetic appearance, Zhou Ting felt a little relieved. He put the things on the table, walked up to her, held her shoulders, turned her around twice, and asked under her puzzled eyes.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's not uncomfortable!" Ming Yi asked in confusion: "Why do you ask?"

Zhou Ting touched her warm hand and finally felt relieved. "It's okay. I heard that you didn't have dinner. I thought you..."

What is most worrying is that people who love to eat will not eat anymore.

"You mean last night? Look, the secret guard beside me leaked the news to you again." She rolled her eyes at him and pulled her hand back.

"Good Yiyi, don't be angry." He kneaded her small hands again, his movements gentle, his deep eyes moved with affection, "I was worried about you. Why didn't you have dinner last night? You didn't even tell me you were coming."

Mingyi shook her head. "I don't feel comfortable staying at home. I'm too idle. My mother can't stand it. Far away things are fragrant, and near things are stinky. I might as well come to the capital to look at the property and stay for a while."

"What did your mother do to you?" She was able to force her to come to the capital.

"Let me go to the workshop and keep an eye on it." He took Zhou Ting to the table and sat down.

The house has floor heating, so when cold air comes in it doesn't feel hot, but instead it just balances out the excess heat; it also allows outside air mixed with moisture to come in, so that the house isn't too dry.

Zhou Ting pulled the oil paper bag in front of him and opened it to show her, "Does your workshop still need you to watch over it?"

"I'm not needed. My mother thought I was too idle and wanted to find something for me to do." Her starry eyes fell on the delicious barbecue, and she didn't pay attention to him anymore. "But I don't want to get involved in the family business."

"If you don't want to take care of it, then don't. The properties under your name are managed by Nanny Zhao. How about going to the palace to accompany me?" After hearing what she meant, Zhou Ting guessed something.

Mingyi had not been at home for long, and there had always been other people taking care of the workshop and business affairs; it was inappropriate for her to suddenly touch upon their interests.

For many families, girls are to be married off and are not allowed to interfere in the family property.

Mingyi was right to choose not to care about the family business, because she would marry into the Zhou family in the future anyway; the Zhou Palace had many businesses, and the Cheng family's assets were nothing compared to them. When the time came, all the businesses in his hands would be handed over to her to manage, but she might not have much energy to manage them.

Fortunately, his mother gave the task to Madam Zhao, Madam Rong, and later Madam Yu; he hoped that they could share some of the burden and not let Yi Yi be too tired. If there were not enough people, he would add a few more.

After all, you can't tire her out.

"No, your palace is busy too. It's nice for me to live here quietly. If you miss me, come and see me and have a meal with me." He was determined not to go.

Her expression was particularly firm, and Zhou Ting stopped persuading her, "Okay, I'll come to accompany you when I'm free; try the barbecue, it's just out of the oven, it's still hot, and it's just right to eat."

"Eat something with me." Mingyi tore off a piece of oil paper, took a leg of lamb and handed it to him.

Zhou Tingjun smiled, as gentle as a modest gentleman. He did not eat after receiving it. After Mingyi took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, he slowly began to eat. The two of them ate happily, and soon they had eaten half of the mutton.

Mingyi was almost full, and the barbecue was cold. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she smiled and praised: "You really understand me. You've been thinking about this for a long time."

"Knowing you like it, I'll ask Buwei to deliver one to you every morning from now on. However, eating too much barbecue might cause a sore throat, so remember to ask the kitchen to always have some cooling tea." He was happy when she enjoyed her meal.

Eating too much meat can easily cause getting irritated, so he couldn't help but give another reminder.

"Yes, Madam Zhao has asked someone to prepare it. I'm in good health and don't get easily irritated." People who get easily irritated tend to have some lesions in their bodies.

It does not mean that people with vigorous qi and blood who are prone to getting angry are sick. This type of people can be excluded; however, people who are healthy and have no lesions in their bodies are not prone to getting angry.

Many people will experience various symptoms after getting "heaty", such as acne on the face, peeling skin, dryness and heat in the internal organs, etc.; if they get "heaty" after eating something irritating, it proves that the person has a hidden disease or lesion in the body that makes it so easily triggered.

She had seen many people like this before, and they could not eat any irritating foods.

In fact, you can just find a skilled Chinese medicine doctor to treat you. You have to make things difficult for yourself and not take your body seriously.

Or, you can formally become a practitioner and invisibly regulate your body and internal organs to restore your body to a healthy state; however, when there is no spiritual energy, you can only practice cultivation of the mind, and even if it is cultivation of the mind, it will have unexpected results.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

People with open minds, cheerful moods, positive attitudes, and a love for life have excellent mental states and are less likely to be affected by illness.

"That's good." He didn't say anything else.

They are both in good health, and getting angry is just an imbalance in the body, which is not a big problem.

People in the northwest like to use herbal tea to reduce internal heat, or use one or two herbs or wild vegetables that can reduce internal heat; those who can afford it can use herbal tea, and those who don’t have the means also have their own prescriptions.

Zhou Ting stayed with her for lunch at Cheng's house and did not leave until she fell asleep.

Knowing that she was healthy and well, Zhou Ting left with peace of mind. He was unable to come for the next three days. There were many affairs in the mansion and military affairs waiting for him to deal with. With all the things piled up together, he was so busy that he sometimes forgot to eat and drink.

However, it’s okay with Buwei and Ansan reminding me.

After the first month of the year, Zhou Ting had less work to do. It had accumulated over many days, and after he sorted it out, his workload was significantly reduced. He had time to accompany Mingyi, often going to Cheng's house for meals, and accompanying her to look at the account books at home. His life was quite comfortable.

Of course.

Free time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, spring comes, the ice and snow melt, and all things come back to life.

Mingyi bid farewell to her family, took Chunmei, and returned to Fucheng with Zhou Ting and his party.

The last time she went to Fucheng, she was in a hurry and marched quickly all the way; this time she went back to Fucheng leisurely, sitting in a carriage and eating snacks, which made her very happy.

Zhou Ting watched her with amusement as she hummed an unknown tune while eating. His hands were itching to stroke the back of her head. Seeing the greasy sheen on the corners of her mouth left by the Kentucky steak, his eyes deepened slightly. He unexpectedly leaned forward and touched her lightly, but they separated immediately.

Even just like this, his heart couldn't stop trembling.

He forced himself to calm down and simply held the person in his arms. There were no outsiders here anyway, so it didn't matter how close they were.

"Are you so happy?"
