hometown, when winter arrives, we would eat this dish."'He reached out and stirred the bubbling ingredients of the hot pot. A little sheepishly, he said, "It's just that time was a bit too rushed, so...Ning Shu didn't think much of it, seeing me so anxious, she readily agreed and followed Chunxi into the courtyard. 。I also asked that day, Ah Xue Su, do you still like books 。Just as I had fallen asleep, the door to my courtyard was pounded on. 。I had just fallen asleep when the door to my yard was pounded on. 。"

“I'm not even a neighbor, why would the master only send to me”

Chunxi brought me to the door of a room and then rushed out to call the doctor. "

It turns out I and Zhou Ziqi didn't overthink it, this Hua Yi Gongzi is actually quite kind and well-mannered. He doesn't seem to come from a wealthy family either, so he doesn't put on airs. He wants to get along with us. 。Ning Shu fell silent for a moment, she hadn't expected this meeting gift to be so valuable. If it weren't for her truthfully telling the neighbor about what had happened, this gift wouldn't have been sent to her. 。I opened the door, but I saw Chunxi's face was full of worry: "Young Master Ning, my master is sick! It wasn't just me who came out to find a doctor..." 。I dare to send someone out to invite a doctor, so please trouble Master Ning to help me take a look at my master

Ning Shu nodded and thanked me for the generous gift. 。I always feel that something is off. 。Zhou Ziqi seemed quite embarrassed, he moved his eyes away, but didn't resist the urge to glance back. 。I raised my hand and mumbled, "Hmm, .,. There's something on your lips. Let me wipe it off for you." 。Ning Shuwēi was taken aback for a moment, then thought that Zhou Zìqí's words were indeed unreasonable. 。Why aren't they neighbors, after all If someone knows you and wants to give a gift, wouldn't they just give it directly to you Shouldn't the person closest to you be the one to receive the gift

But Ning Shuxin isn't at ease, especially since Zhou Ziqi didn't seem to mean anything when he said those things. If that's the case, why would I need to worry about being guarded against others 。Ning Shu thought, the other party doing this shouldn't be Zhou Ziqi. 。After this kind of conversation, when I went back home, the doubts in my heart were dispelled. 。

Then I know he wasn't joking, was he It just means it's not for me. 。The elegant young man in fine clothes said, "You're too polite. I'm just standing out a little from the others. That day, your master sent Chunxi back home dejectedly." 。It's not like that, isn't Ning Shu still distracted 。I've been thinking about Jiang Peilin a lot lately, so much so that I couldn't help but purse my lips, trying to push the image of his radiant figure out of my mind. 。As I was doing so, I held up the item and handed it to him: “I hope you’ll accept this, sir.” 。But I didn't manage to do it. 。I slightly pursed my lips, while Zhou Ziqi wasn't staring at my lips. He was stunned for a moment. 。

People in the mansion thought it wasn't Jiang Peilin who ate it. 。Ning Shu awkwardly said, "I just used Zhou brother's [,] isn't it still me coming myself" 。"Ning Shu looked over and immediately knew why I was staring at her so intently. She asked, 'Zhou ge, what's wrong'

Actually, when I let Ning Shu read in the study, I ate these things beforehand. It wasn't Ning Shu who—" 。But soon shook his head again, to Yangzhou ah, all over the place ah people didn't 。It's strange that the other party is from the capital, and Jiang Peilin doesn't need to find me. 。

Hua Yi Gong Zi stood a few steps away from me, nodded slightly, and then explained that he wasn't from the capital city coming to Yangzhou. Because he came in a hurry and didn't have much preparation, he planned to stay in Yangzhou for a few years. So, he just found a random house to live in. 。

But he didn't see nothing, not even the wind.

At that moment, Ning Shu felt a chill run down her spine. A gaze seemed to be fixed on her, piercing through her even without touching her skin. She could practically feel the intense, tangible desire emanating from it, making her scalp tingle. 。

It's strangely cold.

Hearing the words "capital city" 。Zhou Ziqi was surprised again: “This courtyard was actually sold”

But in his heart, something subtle began to stir. 。It's great that it's not a rest day today. 。The little servant replied, "Let him... " 。That thing is still left in the yard and on the table. 。Ning Shu looked at the candlelight in the room, stretched out her hand, and pushed open the door. 。This courtyard has been empty for a long time, I didn't expect that the new owner would come nowZhou Ziqi hadn't received any news, I haven't lived here for two years. 。My intuition tells me this owner is too simple. 。

I shook my head, doing what I knew best. 。"Chunshi, who's here" Zhou Zique endured and spoke. 。Zhou Ziqi's mood is complicated, he said: "It seems that the owner of this courtyard is very poor." 。"Suddenly, a strange voice came from outside the door: 'Is anyone home' When Jiang Pei Lin was in charge of the Xiangfu manor, he would often have the kitchen make some snacks and send them to his study. " 。Ning Shu was bewildered, seeing me staring at the gift on the table, she asked, "What"I straightened up and told Ning Shu, the master of this courtyard, that I didn't have any good feelings for her. 。I subconsciously took a step back as I saw Zhou Ziqi's hand reach out toward me. 。The little servant smiled and said, "My young master has been busy these days, so he came in person to deliver the gift. I hope you won't mind, sir. Then I'll take my leave." 。"Seeing the neighbor's true face, Ning Shu finally felt relieved." 。Thinking that there probably won't be many opportunities to make good friends in the future, but it wasn't unexpected, to let go of a night 。。My neighbor just moved in, so I thought we should send a small gift. Hope you'll take care of us in the future. 。Zhou Ziqi didn't seem too disappointed, but he didn't take it back. He said to me, "Then I'll go back first. My father has been looking for me these days, and I can't let him come here so frequently." 。Zhou Ziqi knows Ning Shu, although I didn't come from the capital city. 。But not the clothes they wore, all ordinary and common to their line of work. After buying a courtyard, they didn't have much money left. 。Ning Shu quickly introduced herself. 。A voice came from the doorway. Ning Shu looked up and turned to see who it was. 。...but instead, a striking young man in fine clothing walked over to this side. ... 。I'm pretty good-looking and have a nice aura about me. You can tell I'm not from a wealthy family. 。Then, he whispered to Ning Shu: "Hey, that master who lives next door to us doesn't seem to be from the royal capital." 。That becomes even more obvious. 。

Ning Shu had some unease in her heart, but she also felt it might not be her overthinking. 。I held back and lifted my face to look towards the courtyard. It was huge, much bigger than my own yard, and the houses were much nicer too. 。And moving in was also too fast. 。It was as if he had not prepared at all, and yet people moved into the house overnight. 。Here,

take this. 。"The clatter of jade beads falling echoed through the room, but the owner's voice was low and distant, incredibly cold. Hearing it felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over one's heart." 。Zhou Zicui said, "Yunjin and Xue Su are not from our famous Yangzhou family who sell food for a living." 。It's just that the price is too expensive, and only so many are sold each day. Even if I had money, it would be difficult to buy. 。Then, Lao Shangtou said to the young master: 。"Before I even had a chance to open it, I heard Zhou Zique exclaim in surprise, "Yun Jin Xue Su"

I was at the door with my gift. 。That little servant came over quickly and opened the door. Seeing that it wasn't me, he smiled and said, "Master, it's not you, ah" 。I came to my senses and remembered that I lived in the courtyard. It was just me, no one else but Zhou Ziqi. 。There's still an empty space next to the yard, it's pretty big. 。This is not something I learned to make after coming to Yangzhou, nor is it a snack. 。Ning Shu understood, but it wasn't about Zhou Ziqi. It was an implication, and I didn't really hear it. 。So on that day, I came up with an excuse to return the visit. But when I got there, I didn't see the owner of the courtyard’s true face. 。Until Zhou Ziqi explained, I didn't understand the situation. 。The original owner wasn't a greedy person, so this courtyard was sold for several times the price of others. 。Ning Shu wasn't surprised. At this late hour, what could Chun Xi possibly want

Ning Shu wondered who could be knocking on her door at this time. If it wasn't Zhou Ziqi, then whoever it was was terribly impolite. After all, they had known each other for several months, and there was no need to be so formal anymore. 。

Yu is not me said: "Please thank our young master for me, I will visit him another day." 。"Ning Shudao: "I...myself had the family make some food, it's a bit simple, I hope the host won't find it too shabby. " 。"It's not just because the other party is polite. Even if someone of high status appeared, it wouldn't be like this." 。And that snow pear candy, is not quite to Ning Shu's taste either, I remember... 。Ning Shu nodded, a little disheartened. 。My heart felt at ease, and my mind wandered as I looked in the direction we had just been. 。Even if we weren't merchants without money, we wouldn't be suckers either. 。And there are many courtyards in Yangzhou, so it's not surprising that they are often vacant. 。

Ning Shu returned to the courtyard, and soon Zhou Ziqi arrived. 。Back then, as I passed by, I caught a glimpse of her. It's just that the amount Ning Shu had in hand definitely wasn't enough to buy such a large courtyard. 。

This sound Ning Shu had never heard before, I was stunned, but not stand up, then walked towards the direction of the door. 。He opened the door immediately and saw a man wearing a servant's clothes standing at the doorway. 。Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, looking beside her

Ning Shu looked at me blankly, and I understood why I was so surprised. 。

It wasn't Chunxi who was calling me by name. 。I opened my mouth and softly said, "Master, today you let me in Why haven't I seen you"

This master had someone send gifts, but only called himself 'the esteemed one', never showing up from beginning to end. 。"That's a lot of effort... It's not that hard to buy, so it must have taken a lot of thought." 。I inquired, probingly: "Brother Ning, where did we get this thing from"Ning hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it. 。After all, the other party won't be our neighbor anymore, so we should just get it done and settle things. It's good to look after each other. 。

And this box of snow pastries, I wouldn't have bought it myself. 。Ning Shu's heart suddenly felt a pang, and she remembered Jiang Peilin. 。And if it really wasn't me, Zhou Zicui would probably burst in shouting "Brother Ning," and then push the door open. 。d her long eyelashes and nodded a little uneasily."Grandpa said coldly, 'If Yu Zhou doesn't get married, will you not get married either' He took a bite of the food and continued, 'Can you give birth...
