Chapter 998: Famine, Natural Disasters 155

Zhou Ting smiled and frowned, picked up the white cloak on the table and stroked it gently, "Go prepare pastries and fruits, the watermelon is too big to carry with you, take two pomegranates, and wash a bunch of pomegranates and take them away." ”

"Yes."

In order not to bow down, he first put the other two cloak back into the wing, and then went to the kitchen; Ordered someone to box the pastries, and then walked to the spacious inner courtyard of the house, which is the storehouse in the house.

But it's not a warehouse, it's just a temporary inventory of the location of things.

The things brought back by the Western Regions were piled up in the empty house here, and without saying hello to the steward in charge, he went to the ice house where the fruit was put and got two pomegranates and a bunch of pu pottery.

When I walked out of the ice house, I didn't feel goosebumps on my body.

When there is heavy snow in the northwest in winter, and under the accumulation of heavy snow, Fuzhong will send people to transport all the ice cubes needed for next year and put them in the ice cellar in Fuli; The ice cellar has ice cubes all year round, and it is located in the northwest, so it is impossible to store as much ice as you want in Kyoto.

It is not easy to live in Kyoto, every inch of land is expensive, and only those families are spacious enough; Passed down from generation to generation, there is an exclusive ice cellar, and even if there is an exclusive ice cellar, not everyone can enjoy the ice.

"It's not for my father-in-law, if the prince needs anything, you can just order someone to pass on a word, why do you go out of your way." The steward's face was full of smiles and greetings.

Buwei shook his head, "The prince has ordered, let the people below hurry up and count the seedlings brought back this time; Recently, the prince needs fruit, and you have quickly counted it, and what types have been reported. ”

"Clearly, we will count overnight and report to you early tomorrow morning."

The steward's knowledge, the work is not ambiguous, and he does not ask much about the master's affairs; Nodding dissatisfied, "Don't hurt the seedlings." ”

"Yes, let them be careful."

If you don't send it away, the steward really called someone to count the seedlings in the yard; Some they knew, some they didn't, so they could only send people to find the caravan people who had returned from the Western Regions to identify them.

Don't take the fruit to the kitchen to clean, personally watch people wash the potato; He took the food box prepared by the chef and returned to the courtyard of the prince, and saw his family pacing back and forth, looking a little anxious.

"Master, the pastries and fruits are ready."

Zhou Ting stopped, followed the prestige, and did not carry two food boxes in his hands; Holding the cloak and walking out, "Then let's go, the master has already asked Dark Five to find Dark Fifteen." ”

"Yes."

Not to bow slightly, he took two steps back the moment Zhou Ting walked out of the room, and only after Zhou Ting walked down the steps did he quickly follow; Always two steps behind, follow step by step.

After leaving the house, there was a carriage waiting outside, and a team of guards waiting.

When boarding the carriage, do not sit in the corner of the door, and hold the food box with both hands to prevent it from tipping over.

"Go to the night market." I didn't explain a word before closing the car door.

The guards who led the horses responded and led the horses to the night market.

Traveling at night didn't attract much attention; The only thing that was noticed was the spies who kept an eye on King Zhou's mansion.

The carriage traveled for a quarter of an hour to the night market, and as soon as it stopped, it opened the curtain and looked out.

No, the location was facing away from the entrance of the night market, and the window he opened was facing the night market.

The bustling night market is bustling with people and lanterns illuminating the sky above the night market.

"Lord Shizi, it's here."

"Hmm." Zhou Ting walked past him and walked out of the carriage, and the guards brought a low stool for him to step on.

Zhou Ting stepped out of the carriage, not to follow, but he was carrying two food boxes in his hands, and it was inconvenient to look at it.

Zhou Ting stood in front of the carriage and did not intend to enter the night market rashly, and waited for a while, but the dark five were late; The carriage was at the entrance of the night market, and Dark Wu saw the carriage of the Zhou Wangfu at a glance, and stepped forward quickly.

"I've seen you."

"Found it?" Zhou Ting asked.

Dark Five's hippie smiley report, "I found Cheng Little Lady, Dark Fifteen followed Cheng Little Lady; The prince can rest assured that when he went down, the little lady was shopping, but they were happy. ”

Zhou Ting couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, she was happy.

"Take me to them."

"Okay, sir, come down with your subordinates."

Dark Five led the way in front, and Zhou Tinghe did not follow behind; Two guards came with him to guard them from afar, and the rest of the guards stayed where they were.

After walking out of two streets, I saw Mingyi.

With just one glance, Zhou Ting's eyes were locked on Mingyi, and others did not look at him.

"Master, master, go up." Zhou Ting stood still, but Dark Five was secretly anxious.

Zhou Ting turned his head to look at him, then looked back at the bright and cheerful little girl who was laughing in the crowd, and said to them, "Don't come with you." ”

With that, the man strode away.

Don't be in a hurry, raise your feet and have to follow, "Master, slow down."

"Stop, stop." Dark Five hurriedly grabbed him.

"Dark Five, what are you doing? Don't pull me, I'm going to find you. ”

Dark Five said angrily: "Master, let's not follow." ”

"But."

"No, but." Dark Five's tone was not good, "What the master says, we just do it." ”

At the critical moment, the dark five can carry it clearly and never drop the chain.

The two guards were hesitant, but after listening to Dark Five's words, they were relieved, and stood motionless as if they were rooted under their feet.

Zhou Ting slipped into the crowd and walked behind Mingyi, where he saw her staring intently at the phoenix lantern on the shelf.

The phoenix is painted on it, not in the form of a phoenix; Even if it is painted on it, it is still very beautiful, and it is unique in the night market, and I don't see that the surrounding stalls are not as good as this business!

It always has to be something special 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, and those who understand it can see that the person who painted the phoenix has arrogance, or the arrogance of a phoenix.

Cheng Mingli followed beside him, but he didn't have the heart of his sister's appreciation, he just cared about watching his sister and not letting her get lost.

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

"Brother, do you know how to draw?" Mingyi asked, pointing to the lantern above.

"No!"

He didn't learn.

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

"Dad, it should be, right?" He wasn't sure either.

Dad does know how to paint, but that's only when he rises.

Mingyi chuckled, "Then I want to learn to paint, and in the future, I want to draw all kinds of good-looking auspicious beasts." ”

Cheng Mingli looked up at the lantern that aroused his sister's mind to learn to paint, and I have to say that it is indeed very good-looking; But he didn't think it was good, how could he make his sister suddenly firm up her decision to learn to paint?

"You have to be taught by a gentleman to learn how to paint, and when you go back, ask your father to see if you can hire a gentleman, or find a female master."

Nowadays, it is very rare for women to be masters, but it is not impossible.
