Chapter 284: Following Xiang Kuangcheng

The number of times Xiang Kuangcheng and Seeing Ji You returned home together was not few; from Fengzhou, from the northern border, every time he got off the carriage first, then Seeing Ji You continued to follow the carriage to the Heavenly Academy.

Only this time, Seeing Ji You waited in front of the door without moving.

"Brother Ji?"

"Get on the carriage."

Outside, it was freezing cold, with cold wind blowing; Xiang Kuangcheng didn't say anything else and boarded the carriage: "Why is Brother Ji waiting for me here?"

Seeing Ji You reached out and threw the blanket to him: "It's too cold, you, a scholar without the strength to truss a chicken, would probably freeze out a root of illness if you walked back alone. It just so happens that I don't have anything urgent to do when I return to the capital, so I waited. Where are you going later?"

"Having left for so long, I want to go back to the courtyard to tidy up first."

"You also know you've been away from the capital for so long, why don't you go find Miss Wei first?"

Xiang Kuangcheng raised his eyes upon hearing this: "I should meet her, but she is a woman and cannot leave the mansion at will, so most of the time she chooses a suitable time to come and find me."

Seeing Ji You didn't say much, then followed Xiang Kuangcheng back to his own courtyard.

They left the capital just when the snow was the biggest; at this time, the courtyard was already covered in deep snow, and one step down was enough to sink to the position of the knees.

So Xiang Kuangcheng borrowed an iron shovel from the courtyard next door and started shoveling snow, looking at Seeing Ji You from time to time.

Seeing Ji You was making a fire in his hall, then put on a pot of boiling water, and then started searching for tea leaves in his brown-red small cabinet, looking like he didn't intend to leave.

After pondering for a long while, Xiang Kuangcheng took out his money bag from his bosom: "Brother Ji, my monthly salary hasn't been issued yet, but I still have some savings..."

Seeing Ji You's eyes lit up when he saw the silver, and he reached out to take it: "Sure enough, a good brother."

"Last time, Officer Qiu next door also gave me a piece of cured meat; do you want to take it back together?"

"Who said I was going back?"

Xiang Kuangcheng was stunned: "Brother Ji took the money and still isn't going back?"

Seeing Ji You tucked the silver into his bosom and put the tea leaves into the teacup: "Instructor Cao is in seclusion, and Senior Sister Wen and the others are also in seclusion. Staying here, there can still be someone to talk to."

"So that's how it is."

"Does Miss Rui'er know you're back? Do you want me to write a letter to inform her?"

Seeing Ji You picked up the paper and pen from the table and shook them at him twice.

Xiang Kuangcheng stopped the iron shovel in his hand: "The gate general guarding the city has people from the Wei Fu; I didn't need to send letters when I came back before."

"You straight-gutted person, you don't even know that a girl wants to know you're back, but she also wants to receive your letter."

"Is that so?"

Seeing Ji You couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself that the child cannot be taught, then ground the ink and filled the pen, the brush strokes falling with a rustle.

After a burst of literary talent, he raised the letter paper, waited for the ink to dry, and handed it to Xiang Kuangcheng.

Xiang Kuangcheng took the letter and read it twice, looking at the sentences like "sleepless nights in spring," "longing like a burning fire," and his face flushed red.

And the sentences behind it like "the beauty of longing," "longing for your smile," "longing for your white socks" made the scholar call out "non-ritual, do not look."

"How is it?"

"If this letter is sent out, I'm afraid I'll be caught by the people of the Wei Fu and drowned in the pond."

Seeing Ji You's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that you can't even look at the written words, then how will you come to the real thing in the future.

Just at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside, and a person dressed as a servant pushed the door and entered, then handed over a letter, which carried a faint scent of powder.

Xiang Kuangcheng read it carefully, and his gaze suddenly became serious: "Brother Ji, the Immortal Inspection Bureau has something to find me for, I must go over immediately."

Seeing Ji You had just finished brewing the tea, raised his eyes to look at him: "Just went there once, and now they are calling you again; what matter is so urgent?"

"Er, a small matter, not worth Brother Ji's concern. Brother Ji, just wait for me in the courtyard; I'll buy some wine and food on the way back and get drunk with you."

"Leaving now?"

"The matter is urgent, I'm afraid it can't wait."

Seeing Ji You looked at him for a long while, then stood up from the hall: "Then I'll go back first, tidy up the courtyard, and come to find you at the hour of the monkey."

Xiang Kuangcheng sent him to the door: "Then I'll try to be back before the hour of the monkey."

"The weather is cold and the wind is biting, go back."

Seeing Ji You waved goodbye to him, walked a few steps to the east, and then suddenly stopped, then lightly stood on tiptoe and landed on the roof of the residence opposite.

Xiang Kuangcheng had already half-closed the courtyard door at this time, then continued to sweep the accumulated snow in the courtyard, and didn't enter the house until he had swept out a path.

When he came out again, Xiang Kuangcheng had changed into a scholar's robe embroidered with silver threads, and then walked toward the outside of the courtyard.

"This scholar is actually quite stuffy..."

Seeing Ji You muttered, then followed quietly, and saw Xiang Kuangcheng turning left and right to arrive at a separate courtyard.

This courtyard was adjacent to the Wei Fu and could be considered a separate courtyard of the Wei family; it was also covered in snow, and the copper bells under the flying eaves were frozen with ice crystals, silent in the wind.

Seeing Ji You stopped at the street corner and saw Xiang Kuangcheng push open the vermilion door carved with intertwined patterns and walk in.

So he hid his aura, and purely by physical strength, he lifted his breath and leaped lightly, landing on the roof of the adjacent courtyard. ===== CHAPTER 285 =====
