Adorable Food Goddess

Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing, I just threw out a bait."

Ye Jiayao was curious: "What kind of bait?"

"Didn't Third Uncle want my father to find a good job for him? The Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will retire next year, and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has a close relationship with the Helian family." Xia Chunyu said casually.

Ye Jiayao understood that the bait Chun Yu released hit the third uncle and the third aunt's fatal weakness! No wonder they took it upon themselves to exonerate her.

"Hmph, I think if your third uncle fills this vacancy, he will die faster and may even be implicated in the Hou Mansion." Ye Jiayao snorted. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the assessment and promotion of hundreds of officials, so it is a real fat vacancy. , Let such a greedy person hold an important position, and it is not finished.

Xia Chunyu was convinced. He had considered this a long time ago. The reputation of his third uncle in Jingzhou was not very good. He was known as Xia Peipi and was greedy. Every year, he used some methods to evaluate his political performance. In addition, he borrowed money from Jingzhou. The prestige of Anhou Mansion only resulted in a mid-to-high grade.

Xia Chunyu chuckled: "It was originally a bait. When the time comes, I just have to find an excuse to push it away."

"You, on the other hand, are so brave and dare to put Third Aunt down. Even I, knowing that Third Aunt is wrong, would not dare to be so rude." Xia Chun then said in a joking tone, without any intention of accusing her. , On the contrary, he admires Yaoyao's courage. After this time, the third aunt should be more restrained.

Ye Jiayao glared at him: "You think I am willing, but I can't let my mother be bullied!"

Xia Chunyu smiled, believing that Yaoyao's move would definitely win her mother's heart. With her mother's trust, even if Liuli wanted to embarrass her, she would have to think carefully.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Yue came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Second Young Mistress, Madam has sent Mother Sun over."

Behind Mama Sun was a maid, holding a tray in her hand.

"Your Majesty, Second Young Mistress." Mother Sun smiled and gave her a blessing.

"Mama Sun, there is no need to be polite," Xia Chunyu said.

Mother Sun looked at Ye Jiayao and said with a smile: "Madam asked the old slave to come over and take a look at the second young lady. She said that the second young lady had not eaten a few bites of dinner and must be hungry now, so she specially asked the kitchen to stew bird's nest porridge."

Xia Youshi has always been lukewarm to her, but suddenly he cares about her so much. This makes Ye Jiayao feel a little flattered. It must be her performance tonight that impressed Xia Youshi!

"Also, madam, please be busy with your work these days and pay attention to your body. You don't need to take care of yourself every morning and evening."

Ye Jiayao wondered if she had heard wrongly. Xia You's rules for running the family were very strict. Even though Qiao had been pregnant for more than three years, she had to take care of herself every morning and dusk. To put it bluntly, she was just helping Xia You. Youshi got this kind of treatment after having a quarrel with someone.

Damn it, this fight was really worth it, even if it made her kneel in the ancestral hall all night.

This was not just a bowl of bird's nest porridge and not having to pay her respects for a few days, but it also meant that Xia Youshi had accepted her from the bottom of his heart.

"Mama Sun, is Madam okay?" Ye Jiayao was a little worried. On the scene, the old Marquis would definitely protect Youshi, but privately, I'm afraid Youshi would still suffer.

Mother Sun smiled: "Madam is very kind. I haven't seen her so energetic in many years."

Madam just worried too much, worried about Lord Marquis's feelings, her own identity, and the reputation of the Hou family, so every time she had a dispute with the Zhou family, Madam always lost. And today, the actions of the Second Young Mistress, Mrs. Jean suddenly enlightened. The more afraid and tolerant you are when dealing with such a rogue, it will only make the other party more arrogant.

"That's good, Mother Sun, thank Madam for me." Ye Jiayao smiled.

After Sun's mother left, Xia Chunyu smiled with an unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth and looked straight at her.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes while drinking the bird's nest porridge: "Go and look in the mirror. You don't know how lewd and slutty your smile is."

Xia Chunyu smiled even more cheerfully, with a hint of evil, and said slowly: "The truth comes from the heart, and the environment changes with the heart. Yaoyao, are you hinting to me that tonight, we can... "

Ye Jiayao's heart trembled and she hurriedly said: "Stop it, I know you have all kinds of messy things in your mind."

Xia Chunyu innocently said: "Why is this called Wu Qi Ba Chao? With others, it is called Wu Qi Ba Zao, but with his own wife, it is called affection."

"You're so big, I don't want you to enjoy the porridge. This is the love porridge my mother gave me for the first time. I have to savor it." Ye Jiayao said with a blushing face.

Xia Chunyu was happy: "Okay, then you can taste it carefully, but there is something I forgot to tell you. Dad said that the penalty of kneeling is waived, but you have to copy the family rules a hundred times."

Ye Jiayao almost choked, her big eyes widened: "What? Family rules a hundred times?"

She saw the house rules of the Marquis Mansion on the first day she entered the house. Damn it, there are sixty-six rules in total, and there are several pages of them. She has copied them a hundred times, but she still has to write them down? It was really more severe than the punishment given by modern teachers, who would have to open their mouths a hundred times.

Suddenly I felt that the bird's nest porridge was hard to swallow.

Seeing her frowning face, Xia Chunyu clenched his fist to his lips and coughed twice: "Well, dad said to copy it a hundred times, but he didn't say that you should copy it yourself. In the yard, Jiang Yue, Qiao Xi, and Xiang Xiang Tao is all literate..."

Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up again, but she was still worried: "Is this okay?"

Xia Chunyu shrugged: "You can't say for sure. If you meet dad in a good mood, you'll just get over it. If you meet dad in a bad mood, it's possible to take it back and re-penalize it two hundred times."

Ye Jiayao was like a deflated rubber ball, which suddenly deflated again.

"Actually, it's not difficult at all for you to want your dad to be in a good mood. Just make more delicious food to coax him." Xia Chunyu gave her some advice.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and said seriously: "I think cheating is not good! It seems insincere. It would be bad if dad thinks I am a person who can cheat. Otherwise, let's do it, I will copy One copy, can you find someone to imitate my handwriting?"

Xia Chunyu was stunned, this woman was really cunning, she cheated but she still had to be sincere.

"Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. If I haven't passed the test this day, I feel uneasy and I'm not in the mood to talk about love and affection." Ye Jiayao said with a crooked mouth.

Xia Chunyu immediately said: "Isn't this a trivial matter? You don't need to make a copy. Just write a few words. I will take care of it."

Ye Jiayao smiled sweetly: "It's better to be my husband."

Xia Chunyu was stunned, and an inexplicable emotion came to his heart. He hadn't heard this name in a long time. The last time I heard her, she asked playfully at Black Wind Post, will I call you husband from now on? Old man? Mr. Xian? Still a husband...

At that time, he just thought these names were disgusting. But now I feel that the name "husband" is so kind.

In the main room of the Hou Mansion, Xia Zhuofeng returned to the room, but his wife did not come out to greet him. He asked Mother Sun, "Where is the madam?"

Mother Sun pursed her lips.

Xia Zhuofeng took off his coat and handed it to his servant. He went to wash up and then entered the back room and saw You sitting on the couch reading the account book. Xia Zhuofeng sat across from Youshi, who still looked down at the account book. Xia Zhuofeng coughed twice and expressed his dissatisfaction with Youshi for ignoring him, but Youshi still didn't respond.

Well...he hasn't settled the score with her yet, but she has laid out the score first.

"Madam." Xia Zhuofeng said majestically.

Youshi asked calmly: "What's the matter?" His eyes were still on the account books.

Xia Zhuofeng reached out and took away the account book: "I'll look at this later. There are some things we need to talk about."

Youshi looked at him calmly: "What are you talking about?"

Youshi's reaction surprised Xia Zhuofeng. Shouldn't she be anxious or crying? How could she be so calm, as if nothing had happened?

"What you did today was extremely inappropriate. After all, the third brother and his family have just arrived in the capital. Do you need to be so impatient and get angry? How embarrassing and embarrassing." Xia Zhuofeng said.

Youshi sighed slightly: "Master Hou already knows the cause of the matter. Master Hou, please tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Xia Zhuofeng was speechless for a moment, yes, I really couldn't find anything wrong.

"Even if the Zhou family is at fault, you can't let the second daughter-in-law come forward and spread the word. It would be bad." Xia Zhuofeng said.

Youshi said: "This is really my fault. I really shouldn't let my second daughter-in-law stand out. I've thought about it. If Mrs. Zhou dares to be arrogant next time, I will do it myself and slap her with a big ear scraper."

Xia Zhuofeng was stunned, eh, this is not the conclusion he wanted!

"I have endured it for so many years, almost to the point of internal injury, but none of the problems have been solved. On the contrary, it has made Mrs. Zhou more and more unscrupulous. She dared to attack me even if she grabbed a child. Now I finally figured it out. To deal with this bitch, patience is useless, so you have to treat her like a second wife." You said through gritted teeth.

Xia Zhuofeng was about to speak when Youshi said again: "And you, don't talk to me about brotherhood again. If your brother still cares about brotherhood, he won't do such shameless things. Indeed, old man My wife told me before she died that you should take good care of this brother, but your care and indulgence have actually harmed him."

Xia Zhuofeng was dissatisfied: "You are talking about everything."

Youshi sneered: "Master Hou has been at the border all year round and doesn't know many things. I have heard some rumors. The third uncle's reputation in Jingzhou is very bad. He is called Xia Peipi. I didn't believe it at first, but now I am the second oldest daughter-in-law. Having said that, Mrs. Zhou ordered people to quietly transport fifteen large carts of things to the new house. The boxes are all packed. Don’t expect that the boxes are filled with books. If they are books, they are still needed. So sneaky? I guess their family background is richer than ours."

A chill ran down Xia Zhuofeng's spine. If this was true, it would be bad, but the third brother doesn't look like this kind of person!

"Whatever the truth is, sooner or later the truth will come out. I'm just telling you that if you dare to indulge them again and damage the reputation of the Hou family, I will not clean up the mess for you again. I will bring you my belongings." I'll take my things back to Hangzhou and let you and your brother go there." You said decisively, got off the bed and went straight to the clean room.
