Turning back to close the door, I followed the path all the way out of the courtyard where he lived.

As I reached the fence of the bamboo garden, I suddenly changed my mind.

The opportunity to go to the East Courtyard this time was not easy to come by, and I don't know when the next time it will be.

If you just count the items sent in, this errand will not be the same for everyone!

Since the Ninth Master has given me a chance, he has to allow me to do something I want to do, right?

When I had made up my mind, I went back to my room and hurriedly wrote a prescription on a piece of paper.

Halfway through writing, I hesitated, but changed the two flavors to another medicine of the same kind that could be replaced, and added a few flavors to the list of medicines that were useless at all.

You can't blame me for painting snakes and bamboos, walking in the east courtyard, there are many people, so you must always be careful.

It took me half an hour to write the prescription, and when I reached the path leading from the bamboo garden to the lake, the steward of the big kitchen was already waiting for me under the big tree.

When he saw me come out, he saluted me later than the appointed hour, and said with a smile on his face: "Manager Lin, please come with me." ”

I returned the salute and followed him along the lakeside path to the east courtyard.

I didn't meet the steward of the big kitchen once, because the medicine used by the ninth master and the ingredients used to cook had to pass through his hands for the first inspection, and when it came to me, it was the second one.

The object of service is the same person, and he has been in the courtyard longer than me, so when it comes to understanding Ji Jiu, this person will definitely have more than me.

But after I came into contact with him a few times, I found that one of the most obvious strengths in him is that he never talks much.

When ordinary people see that I am now a competent steward walking on the side of the Ninth Master, they will definitely gossip about some gossip, but in addition to the etiquette he should have, he is cautious in his usual manners, so that people can't find fault at all.

Initially, I wondered how such a person could do a big kitchen purchase. How can you walk in the East Courtyard, shouldn't you be a talented person with eight sides who is worthy of this position?

But I quickly figured it out, things gather like people and people are grouped, since Ji Jiu is such a character. He must have been deeply disgusted with the way I was accustomed to thinking about stewardship.

I know that his background is not simple, although Ji Jiu has a pure temperament, but people who grew up in such a complex environment must have their own set of experience in employing people.

I should trust him unconditionally, just as I trusted someone before

The person in charge really fulfills his duties but can't talk about tricks, so I respect and be polite to him from the bottom of my heart.

I followed him silently all the way to the warehouse where I accepted things, and there was not a single superfluous word from beginning to end, except that when I passed a section of the bridge that had been repaired by the lake, I turned around and reminded me. The road ahead is not easy, you have to beware of falling into the water.

Facing this stuffy gourd that was trusted by Ji Jiu by anyone in the Eastern Courtyard, I choked up on my throat when I spoke.

After thinking about it, I finally opened my mouth to call him and said, "Do you know the name of the person in charge of the pharmacy in the Eastern Courtyard?" “

The man who walked in front of me was always unhurried and heard my question. He stopped, looked at me strangely and said, "Steward Lin, what does the Ninth Master command?" “

That's what I asked!

I want to find out the news, now that you are directly involved in Ji Jiu, what should I say next, isn't it easy to debunk a lie?

In my heart, I could only look embarrassed and vaguely said: "Hmm, other book friends are reading:." No, it has nothing to do with him. "That's your business."

He said calmly, I said in my heart, do you need to wear it, do you need it?

But I know that he may not be malicious, his personality is relatively straightforward, and once he speaks, he really won't beat around the bush!

He glanced at the large, empty bracelet I was wearing. It doesn't fit well on my thin wrist.

"When the prescription manager sees what you are wearing, he shouldn't ask too much, just give him the prescription."

I looked up at him.

"General medicines, the East Courtyard has them, if they are particularly rare medicinal materials. Then you need to make a note and buy it when you buy it next time. ”

"No, it's just ordinary medicinal materials, besides, I don't think the medicine used by the ninth master every day is not ordinary, I believe there will be enough stock in the pharmacy."

"Well," he replied unhurriedly, in a nonchalant tone, "there should be." "It's as simple as that?" "It's that simple."

It's an oolong for a long time, it's so easy to take medicine, why do I bother to think about that prescription, it's redundant!

Thinking about it in my heart along the way, I couldn't resist his words disappearing.

A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, I reached out and brushed the bead string on my wrist, Ji Jiu was right, the bracelet is so easy to use, it is a pass here

Seeing the thin figure disappear in front of the window, he took out the very delicate-looking bamboo Xiao from the pillow, if she was there at this time, she would definitely be surprised to snatch it.

Because those two pipes look too similar.

The difference is in the time at which zuò is made.

The finished product he repeatedly polished that year, the most successful was the one in hand and the one that had been given to her.

Resting on his lips, he made a special sound, and in an instant, the man in black who came out of an unknown corner bowed his head to his chuang.

"Follow her, secretly guard, if anyone is in trouble, don't interfere, just let me know before she comes back."

The black-clothed figure froze for a moment, and then said in a somewhat reluctant tone: "The Lord has an order, and I must not leave you half a step." ”

Ji Jiu sneered: "You have been with me for so many years, and you still don't know how to be flexible, if she has a mistake, you think my things can continue." “

His strength was a little sluggish, and his hoarse voice was uncomfortable to the man in black.

However, due to an instant, the person on the side of the chuang has disappeared.

Ji Jiu closed his eyes, thinking back to the first time he saw her in Zhuyuan, feeling as complicated as being knocked over a five-flavor bottle, thinking of those days when they were young, the original self, thinking of the upcoming meeting, the scene he couldn't guess, thinking of the person who was far away in the palace of the capital of Sealand, and the person who had always been in the memory

While collecting items at the warehouse next to the large kitchen, I looked around and couldn't see a third person.

I was half curious and half puzzled: "Why don't you see anyone coming?" “

It's very different from the scene I imagined that all the stewards gathered together.,I thought I could see at least half of the people in charge here in the East Courtyard this time.,Other book friends are watching:。 "I've already checked the things I received before I invited you here, so no one will bother."

It means that the preparations have been completed a long time ago, no, it is the completion of the collection task, what is this?

I almost choked, and said in a dry tone, "Since that's the case, why do I have to come to the warehouse, you send it directly to the gate of Zhuyuan, and I'll pick it up?" “

Big brother, you're tired from walking, okay?! "It's the meaning of the Ninth Master, I want Steward Lin to inspect it personally, he said that the location is in the warehouse of the East Courtyard, and I am just acting on orders."

I stroked the corner of my forehead and said, "I understand, it's the Ninth Master's problem." ”

I don't dare to say the words "Ninth Master's Fault" in front of this obedient subordinate, now I am eating with a mouthful of food, and I don't want to make extraneous branches, I just said that, I can't keep someone who has a heart to make a fuss about this.

Now that I know the result, I suddenly feel excited, mechanical movements, absent-mindedly ordering the remaining things, just thinking about ending the matter here quickly, and having to go back to the bamboo garden to boil medicine for him.

If I miss the hour, something goes wrong, and I have to pay for my life!

After all, that's the foundation of my survival here

When I returned to Zhuyuan, I pushed the door in, and unexpectedly saw Ji Jiu getting up and sitting by the window, still the same as I had seen countless times before, he was playing with chess pieces in his hand, and the table was still the same endgame.

When he saw me enter the door, he turned to me and smiled, "How did you go?" "What else do you say," I shook my head at him boredly, "it's boring, I knew your men were all done, what else should I go?" “

He was stunned, and didn't seem to understand what I said, but he believed he understood.

He said indifferently: "I thought that you would be alone with me all day long when you arrived in Zhuyuan, and besides, it was boring to be trapped here, so I thought you would be happy to go out for a walk." “

I sat down at another table in the room, rested my head on my arm and muttered, "I won't go next time, I've checked the number of things I ordered, I'm just going to go through the motions, it's boring." ”

He had a slightly disappointed look on his face, as if he had been infected by my depressed feelings. "Don't worry about it, that's what I'm like." I smiled at him, "It's not all for nothing, it's the first time I know that your bracelet is so good." “

Seeing Ji Jiu's eyes staring at me all the time, I guessed what he was thinking, and said clearly: "It's hard for you to get out, and you yourself can't understand it." "Look!" I froze down, took out a bag from my sleeve and raised my voice to him, "It works." ”

"I don't need to say more, the people at the pharmacy took the initiative to find all the medicinal materials I needed."

Ji Jiu was interested, got up and walked over to see the paper bag in my hand, I quickly moved into my sleeve and said in a mysterious tone: "The doctor of the three-legged cat is okay, I want to toss some fresh tricks, don't worry, I won't give you any medicine." "What do I have to worry about, it's not like you don't know what kind of medicine I use every day."

The corners of my mouth stiffened, and I comforted him: "Don't you see that you are standing well, which proves that you are not so fragile like Xiaoqiang." "Which one is Xiaoqiang?"

The corners of my mouth twitched: "In short, a very strong person!" “
