When Ning Lang went out, most of spring had passed, and the weather soon became hot. As soon as they were free, they hid under the eaves to enjoy the cool. They were more reluctant to go out than before.
In the summer, the ice in the capital became a hot item. Jiang Yunlan seized the opportunity early and found a way to buy a lot of ice to store. When the weather was hot, she made food from the ice and sold it in the food shop. As expected, it was very popular. She made a lot of money. She was very happy for several days. Seeing the hot and dry weather, she even made a jade mat for Ning Nuan with a large amount of money. As soon as people lay on the jade mat, they would be able to dissipate the heat of the day. It was cool and comfortable. Ning Nuan also liked it very much.
On the day when the jade mat was ready and delivered to your house, Wang Quan also got Chu Feiâs order and pulled a cart of ice.
Since Ning Lang left the capital, Chu Fei has always come to offer hospitality. If Ning Nuan goes out, he will encounter him several times. When Ning Nuan doesnât go out, he sends Wang Quan to deliver things every day. Everything is in line with Ning Nuanâs preference. However, Jiang Yunlan has told him in the morning. Therefore, the things that Chu Fei sent canât even enter the gate of Ningâs house.
But he was not discouraged at all. He let Wang Quan feel the road near Ning house thoroughly, and he could come from Lord anâs house to Ning house with his eyes closed.
But Wang Quan couldnât get in. As soon as a cart of ice had been pulled over to explain the purpose of his coming, the doorkeeper immediately got used to showing a puzzled expression: âas our wife said, we canât accept anything from the Lord.â
Wang Quan also took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and put it into his hand: âour Lord has ordered that if we donât give this car ice to miss Ning, I will never go back to the palace. Please inform Miss Ning for me.â
The gatekeeper skillfully collected the money and said, âIâll go and talk to miss Xiangtao.â
After a while, the peach came out.
She said with a foul face: âour wife said, nothing, let your Lord donât send things here.â
âMiss Xiangtao, look at this thing first.â Wang Quan opened the tightly covered quilt and revealed a corner at the bottom. Immediately, a chill came out of it: âour Lord is thinking about Miss Ning. She is worried about the hot weather. She is not used to it. She specially asked me to deliver ice.â
âIce?â Xiangtaoâs eyes stopped, subconsciously looked there, and quickly firmly moved away from her eyes, and said, âwe miss donât need your ice.â
âMiss Xiangtao, just for the sake of Miss Ning, donât you refuse so quickly. For the sake of the ice, our Lord has spent a lot of time. With these ice, Miss Ning will be better this summer, donât you?â Wang Quan said, âwhy donât you ask Ning if she wants this ice?â
Xiangtao raised her chin and said triumphantly, âwe miss donât need ice now. Our wife specially made a whole jade mat with jade. Itâs very cool.â
âJade mat?â Wang Quan was surprised. He looked back at a load of ice and sighed: âit seems that our Lord is preparing for nothing again.â
Xiangtao complacent, looking at him with a car of ice left, just go back to tell Ning warm.
âIs he here again?â Ning Nuan leans on the newly made jade mat, which is covered with silk and feels smooth and cool. She turns over the book in her hand lazily: âwhat did you send this time?â
âItâs a load of ice.â The fragrant peach curled her lips and said, âan Wang is really a big hand.â
âThereâs no waste of left and right.â
âSo it is.â Xiangtao got up again and said happily: âitâs better for the lady to treat her. This whole jade mat costs a lot of money. Itâs the only one in Beijing.â
Ning Nuan said anxiously, âitâs just that I heard that Qingzhou is hot and full of mosquitoes, and I donât know how my brother is living there. In the letter sent by King an not long ago, it can be said that his elder brother was bitten by a poisonous insect there. How could he bear such a pain? â
âThe young master also sent a letter, saying that he met a miracle doctor and gave him a prescription to cure poisonous insects. Now he doesnât worry about this.â
âMy brother, after he went to Qingzhou, he always reported the good news instead of the bad news. If it was not for the news sent by an Wang from time to time, I donât know what happened to my brother.â Thinking of this, Ning Nuan couldnât sit still. He got up and went out and said, âitâs been several days since the letter was delivered by King an last time. Maybe itâs coming again.â
Xiangtao quickly followed up.
Ning Nuan went to Ning Langâs room, and sure enough, there was a letter on it. There was nothing on one envelope, and the other was signed to give it to her.
Ning Nuan first opened the unnamed letter and quickly read it from the beginning. Seeing that it did not say that her brother was in any danger, she took a long sigh of relief. She handed the letter to Xiangtao and asked Xiangtao to send it to Jiang Yunlan. She sat down again and opened another envelope with its name.
At the beginning, an Wang often put a page in the news of Ning Lang, which was full of his rambling chatter. Ning Nuan either gave it to his parents or burned it directly. Later, Chu Fei talked more and more about it. He couldnât write down a page, so he wrote to her directly.Ning Nuan didnât want to see it at first, but chufei didnât care. He still remembered that the envelope was getting thicker and thicker every time. Even Ning Nuan didnât care at first, but he gradually became curious.
This time, Wang Quangang took the ice and sent it back. He immediately wrote about the ice in his letter. He also said that there was ice in his palace, and the car was specially reserved for Ning Nuan. Who knows Jiang Yunlan suddenly made a jade mat, which made the ice he specially left useless. Chu Fei was very angry and even more worried about how he didnât think of the jade mat earlier.
Where has Ning Nuan seen him before?
She met with an Wang, either confident or shameless. Ning Nuan had never seen the garrulous appearance in her letter. When she was free, she could write several pages full of paper, just like the birds on the branches in spring. Opening his letter became one of Ning Nuanâs daily pleasures.
At the beginning, Chu Fei didnât have so much to say. He still insisted on maintaining a stable appearance in front of Ning Nuan. When he wrote a letter, he was also concise. Later, when he learned that Ning Nuan was unwilling to read the letter, he talked more and more. He didnât want to think about one sentence several times as before. He wrote all the good and bad things as a private secretary. Who knows Ning warm received much, unexpectedly looked up again, saw his many complex psychology all to see in.
If you let Chu Fei know that his steady image in Ning Nuanâs heart is gone, Iâm afraid he would like to bump into a stone lion at the gate of Prince anâs residence.
Ning Nuan read the letter from the beginning to the end. Then he threw the letter into the brazier and lit it with a torch. Soon the letter paper burned to ashes.
Xiangtao goes and returns, âMiss, your wife calls you to go.â
Rather warm cut clothes, get up to go out.

When she came to Jiang Yunlanâs yard, Jiang Yunlan was looking at several books of accounts. As soon as she came, her eyes brightened. She pushed the account books aside and rushed to pull her.
âAh Nuan, my mother has been counting the days recently, only to find that your birthday is coming.â Jiang Yunlan said: âthis year, there are only three of us in our Ning family. The old lady certainly doesnât want to come out. Your brother canât come back in Qingzhou again. Iâm afraid he even forgot your birthday, but he wronged you.â
âMother, there is no injustice here.â
Jiang Yunlan said: âmy mother thought well, you must make a big deal of this birthday. My mother wants to letâŠâ
Before she finished her words, she was quickly pulled by Ning Nuan: âNiang, keep your voice down.â
Jiang Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and the excitement on her face faded again.
Because of the corruption case, the emperor is very angry. Nowadays, the officials in the whole capital are trying to keep a low profile. They are very frugal in their daily life. No one dares to waste extravagantly. If they really want to make a big deal of ningnuanâs birthday, Iâm afraid ningyanting will be given a copy of ginseng.
She was suddenly disappointed: âah Nuan, wronged you again.â
âNiang, how did you live in the past years? How about this year?â
âThatâs not good. I canât treat you badly.â Jiang Yunlan said: âyou canât invite people to come here. Your mother will do it secretly in our house. Your brother canât come back. Your father and I are still here. There are many people in our house. We canât let your birthday pass by so easily.â
Jiang Yunlan can complain.
Her birthday of aânuan was not well done in Ning family, and even not as good as Ning Qing. On the contrary, after getting married, she went to Lord anâs house. When king an gave ah Nuan his birthday, the whole capital was aware of the noise. Donât mention the excitement. The water table outside Lord anâs house was set for three days and three nights, but I didnât know that it was a happy event.
She canât be better than anwang, can she?
However, this yearâs situation is special, no matter how many ideas she can only hold in her stomach.
Jiang Yunlan felt aggrieved.
She took Ning warmâs hand and solemnly said, âah Nuan, donât worry, your mother will let you have a happy birthday this time.â
Seeing her full of enthusiasm, Ning warm can only respond.
On the other hand, chufei thought about it.
He called Wang Quan and asked, âMiss Ning doesnât want to see the king, and the Ning family certainly doesnât want to let me in. Now she hasnât entered the palace, and she doesnât want to accept the gifts from me. How should Ben Wang spend her birthday?â
Wang Quan said bitterly: âLord, I canât believe it.â
Chu Fei pondered: âthis is the first time for her birthday, canât we be too low-key?â
âLord, the emperor is looking at it. If you keep a high profile, the censor will file a complaint tomorrow. You donât want your reputation?â Wang Quan reminded: âyou have been in the palace for so long. Outsiders all know that you care for the people, share the worries for the emperor, and lead a hard life.â
Chu Fei sighed and felt that the task was heavy and the road was far away.
