Zhou Ting smiled and nodded, picking up the white cloak on the table and caressing it, "Go and prepare pastries and fruits. The watermelon is too big to carry with you. I will take two pomegranates, and Pu Tao will wash a bunch and take them away."

"Yes."

Instead of bowing and retreating, he first put the other two cloaks and cloaks back into the side room, and then went to the kitchen. He ordered people to pack the cakes into boxes, and then walked to the spacious inner courtyard of the mansion, which is the warehouse of the mansion.

But it's not a warehouse, it's just a temporary inventory of where things are.

The things brought back from the Western Regions were piled in the empty room here. Without saying hello to the steward in charge, he went to the ice room where the fruits were stored and picked up two pomegranates and a bunch of pomegranates.

When I walked out of the ice room, I felt goosebumps rising all over my body.

There is heavy snowfall in the northwest in the winter. When the snow accumulates, the government will send people to transport all the ice cubes needed for next year and put them into the mansion's ice cellar. It is impossible to store more ice cubes.

Living in Kyoto is not easy, and every inch of land is precious. Only those aristocratic families have spacious places. They have been passed down from generation to generation and have exclusive ice cellars. Even if they have exclusive ice cellars, not everyone can enjoy ice cubes.

"Not for father-in-law, if the prince needs anything, you can just ask someone to send a message. Why do you have to go all the way?" The steward's face was full of smiles and he greeted him eagerly.

Buwei shook his head, "The prince has ordered the people below to quickly count the seedlings brought back this time. The prince is in need of fruit recently, so you should also quickly count and report the types."

"I understand, we will keep an eye on everything overnight and report back to you tomorrow morning."

The steward is sensible, unambiguous in his work, and doesn't ask too much about his master; he doesn't nod in satisfaction, "Don't hurt the seedlings."

"Yes, let them be careful."

Instead of sending them away, the steward actually called someone to count the seedlings placed in the yard; some they knew and some they didn't, so they had to send people to find people from the caravan who had returned from the Western Regions to identify them.

Instead of taking the fruit to the kitchen for cleaning, he watched people wash the pottery in person. Then he picked up the food box prepared by the chef and returned to the courtyard of the prince. He saw his prince pacing back and forth, looking at a little bit. anxiety.

"Master, the pastries and fruits are ready."

Zhou Ting stopped and followed the sound. Bu Wei was holding two food boxes in his hands. He held his cloak and walked out, "Let's go then. I have asked An Wu to find An Fifteen."

"Yes."

Buwei bowed slightly and took two steps back the moment Zhou Ting walked out of the room. After Zhou Ting passed him and walked down the steps, he quickly followed up; always two steps behind, he followed step by step.

After leaving the mansion, a carriage was waiting outside, as well as a team of guards waiting.

When you get on the carriage, sit in the corner of the carriage door and hold the food box with both hands to prevent the food box from tipping over.

"Go to the night market." Buwei said before closing the car door.

The guard leading the horse responded and led the horse to the night market.

Traveling at night, he didn't attract many people's attention; the only ones who noticed him were the spies who were always paying attention to Prince Zhou's Mansion.

The carriage drove for a quarter of an hour and arrived at the night market. As soon as it stopped, he lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Buwei's location happened to be with his back to the entrance of the night market, so the car window he opened was facing the night market.

The lush night market is bustling with people coming and going, and lanterns everywhere light up the sky above the night market.

"Your Majesty, we're here."

"Yes." Zhou Ting walked past him and stepped out of the carriage. The guard brought a low stool for him to step on.

Zhou Ting stepped out of the carriage, not following him, but he was holding two food boxes in his hands, looking at the inconvenience.

Zhou Ting stood in front of the carriage and did not intend to enter the night market rashly. After waiting for a while, An Wu arrived late; the carriage was at the entrance of the night market. An Wu saw the Prince Zhou's exclusive carriage belonging to the Crown Prince at a glance and quickened his pace. forward.

"I've met you."

"Found it?" Zhou Ting asked.

An Wu reported with a playful smile, "I found Miss Cheng. An Fifteen is with Miss Cheng. Don't worry, the prince, Miss Cheng and the others were shopping when I went down. They were very happy." Zhou Ting couldn't help but chuckle. Lips, as long as she is happy.

"Take me to them."

"Okay, please come down with me."

An Wu led the way, followed by Zhou Ting and Buwei; two guards followed him to guard them from a distance, and the rest stayed where they were.

After walking two streets, I saw Mingyi.

With just one glance, Zhou Ting's eyes were fixed on Mingyi, and no one else could notice him.

"Master, master, come up." Zhou Ting stood still, but An Wu was secretly anxious.

Zhou Ting turned to look at him, then looked back at the bright and cheerful little girl who was smiling into the crowd, and said to them: "Don't follow me."

After saying that, the person strode away.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly became anxious and raised his feet to follow me, "Master, please slow down."

"Stop, stop, stop." An Wu quickly grabbed him.

"An Wu, what are you doing? Don't hold me back, I'm going to find you."

An Wu said angrily: "Master told us not to follow."

"But."

"There is no but." An Wu said in a bad tone, "Whatever you say, we will do."

At the critical moment, An Wu can grasp clearly and never lose the chain.

The two guards were hesitant at first, but after hearing An Wu's words, they became calm and stood motionless as if they had roots under their feet.

Zhou Ting got into the crowd and walked behind Mingyi, seeing her staring intently at the phoenix lantern on the shelf.

The phoenix is ​​painted on it, not made into the shape of a phoenix; even if it is painted on it, it is still very beautiful and unique in the night market. The business of other stalls around it is not as good as this one!

There must always be something unique to attract customers.

Mingyi stood under the phoenix lantern and admired the phoenix in the painting. Each stroke seemed random, but it was extremely smooth. This painting is very interesting. People who understand it can see that the person who painted the phoenix has a proud heart, or in other words, a certain pride. The pride of Phoenix.

Cheng Mingli followed beside him, but he had no intention of admiring his sister. He only focused on keeping an eye on his sister to prevent her from getting lost.

As for Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya, they had already walked to the front and only glanced back from time to time; but they did not notice Zhou Ting in the crowd at all.

"Brother, can you draw?" Mingyi asked, pointing to the lantern above.

"will not!"

He hasn't learned it.

Mingyi asked again, "Does dad know how to draw?"

"Dad, you should be able to, right?" He wasn't sure either.

Dad does know how to paint, but he can only draw a few strokes when he feels like it.

Mingyi chuckled, "Then I want to learn to draw. In the future I will draw all kinds of beautiful auspicious beasts."

Cheng Mingli then raised his head to look at the lantern that aroused his sister's interest in learning painting. He had to say that it was indeed pretty. But he didn't think it was that good. How could his sister suddenly make the decision to learn painting?

"To learn painting, you need a teacher to teach you. When you get back, ask dad if you can hire a teacher, or find out if you have a wife."

It is very rare for women to be wives nowadays, but it is not impossible.
