Chapter 80 The child lost from the Princess’s Mansion?
After returning from Gu's house, Ning Kun hurried to the study.
Ning Xuan couldn't help but complain to his mother, "Mom, look at Dad, he's not still thinking about Gu Zheng, is he? Mom, you have to persuade Dad!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Your father has been delayed for most of the day. He must have some official business to attend to. Don't make things worse."
Cui was quite troubled by her son's train of thought and could only try to divert his attention.
"You like this chopped pepper sauce, don't you? Why don't you have the servants take it to the kitchen and give it to Master Sun? If you're late, you won't be able to enjoy this delicious dinner."
"Thank you for reminding me, Mom. I'll deliver it myself. This sauce goes really well with the omelet. Mom, let's have omelet with rice porridge tonight."
Ning Xuan's mouth was watering when he thought of the egg pancakes and rice porridge Qin Zhizhi made last time.
"Okay, your dad and I are not picky. We can eat anything."
Cui had never eaten egg pancakes, let alone this chopped pepper sauce. After hearing what her son said, she was a little curious.
"Okay, then you can go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to find Master Sun and tell him about dinner."
Ning Xuan happily carried the jar and went to the kitchen to find Master Sun.
Cui was indeed tired, and with the help of her maid, she prepared to lie down for a while.
Ning Xuan came to the kitchen and showed Master Sun the chopped pepper sauce that Qin Zhizhi had given him, and told Master Sun the uses of the chopped pepper sauce.
After describing the method of making egg pancakes, Master Sun tried it on the spot and succeeded after making a few.
"Master Sun, I think it would taste better if you put more eggs in."
Ning Xuan felt that Master Sun didn't put enough eggs in the dish, and the taste was a little different from that made by Qin Zhizhi.
Master Sun added a few more eggs and fried another one for Ning Xuan to taste.
"This tastes much better, and is close to the taste of what my sister-in-law made."
When Master Sun heard that the taste was almost the same as Qin Zhizhi's, he was very happy and felt that he had unlocked a new culinary skill today.
Master Sun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's great to have a greedy young master in the mansion, as it can help you improve your cooking skills invisibly.
Ning Xuan asked Master Sun to make another one, then rolled it with chopped pepper sauce and gave half to Master Sun.
Master Sun immediately fell in love with the special taste of chopped pepper. His young master was indeed talented in eating and could even discover such a unique way of eating it.
"For dinner, just make omelets with rice porridge and stir-fry two light dishes."
After Ning Xuan arranged what to eat for dinner, he returned to his yard.
Master Sun was a little undecided for a moment, not knowing whether he should listen to the young master, but when he thought about the master and the mistress going out today, he thought he should have a lighter dinner.
After a brief struggle, he decided to do as his young master instructed.
Ning family study.
As soon as Ning Kun came back, he hurried to the study and quickly recalled Gu Zheng's appearance in his mind.
Then he started painting. Ning Kun was best at painting. After a while, a handsome young man appeared on the paper.
Ning Kun thought about it again, picked up the pen and added a small mole in front of Gu Zheng's earlobe.
Gu Zheng’s mole is not big and cannot be seen unless you look carefully.
If Qin Zhizhi saw this painting, she would definitely admire Ning Kun's observation and memory.
After the painting dried, Ning Kun folded the portrait and put it in an envelope. He then wrote a letter, sealed it together with the portrait, and called Xiao Si.
"Give this letter to the steward and ask him to send it to the capital as quickly as possible."
Xiao Si received the order, took the letter and quickly went to find the housekeeper.
After Cui had rested, she asked the maidservant, "Where are the master and the second young master?"
"Madam, the young master has returned to his own courtyard, and the master is still in the study." The serving maid answered respectfully.
She was not surprised that her son had returned to the yard, but her husband was still in the study, and Cui was worried that he was tired from handling official business.
"Go make tea for the master, and then we'll go to the study."
Cui and Ning Kun grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and their two families are old friends, so the couple has a very good relationship.
"Understood, ma'am. I'll go right away."
The little maid bowed and retreated, and another little maid hurried forward to help Cui dress up.
When Cui went out, the little maid who had just gone to make tea also came back, holding a tray, and went to the yard with Cui.
The door of the study was closed. The maid went forward and knocked on the door. Xiao Si came to open the door and saw that it was the lady, so he quickly let her in.
"Ma'am, please come in."
Cui took the tray from the maid and carried it into the study.
Ning Kun was still in a daze when Cui came in. When she approached, she called out softly, "Husband, why don't you take a rest? Come and have a cup of tea."
Ning Kun only then realized that Cui had arrived. "Madam is here, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ning Kun took the tea handed to him by his wife and felt a lot more relaxed.
"Come and see my husband, my husband, but is there something wrong with Gu Zheng?" Cui asked tentatively.
Ning Kun did not answer Cui directly, but pulled her to sit on his lap and explained to her.
"Madam, do you still remember the reason why I was suddenly transferred out?"
Cui thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "What are you looking for?"
"Yes, the emperor gave a secret order, asking me to help find someone."
"Found it?"
"Well, I suspect Gu Zheng is that kid, but it's a pity that he doesn't remember anything from the past."
Ning Kun felt a little frustrated when he thought that Gu Zheng didn't remember the past.
"Husband, are you sure it's Zheng?"
Ning Kun nodded firmly, he felt sure that he was not mistaken.
"That's good. Once we finish this, we can return to Beijing earlier."
Cui's face was full of joy, but she was still not used to the place because her relatives and friends were all in the capital.
"My lady has suffered with me."
Ning Kun's eyes were filled with heartache. He knew that his wife was a little spoiled, but she came here for him and the children.
"I'm very happy to be with my husband and children."
"I have already written to Beijing and I expect there will be news soon."
"Husband, who is Zheng'er?"
"Gu Yunlang, the youngest son of Princess Pingding and her husband, Minister Gu."
Ning Kun had never told Cui about his mission before because he was afraid that she would be anxious.
"Are you talking about the child who was lost from the princess's mansion three years ago?"
After Ning Kun's reminder, Cui's memory was instantly restored. Princess Pingding's youngest son was kidnapped during the Lantern Festival, and the emperor was furious.
Many people were sent openly and secretly to look for the young prince, but there was no news. Princess Pingding cried every day.
The emperor felt sorry for his sister and sent out groups of people to look for her.
Her husband was one of this group of people, and Cui finally understood why her husband was suddenly transferred here.
"So, my husband is the county magistrate here, but he's actually here to find someone better?"
"The last clue we found was here, and then there was no news. I've been searching hard for the past two years, but to no avail."
"How sure are you, husband, that Gu Zheng is the young master? Will this matter implicate the Gu family?"
Cui is more worried now. She really likes the Gu family and doesn't want them to be in danger.
"Don't worry, ma'am, I will definitely protect them!"
