Adorable Food Goddess

After a long time, someone looked at the water stains on the ground and said depressedly: "You can clean it up yourself later. Don't ask Qiao Xi and the others to come."

When a certain bird is satisfied, let alone pouring out the bath water, even if it is asked to pick up the stars and the moon, it will also move up the ladder.

"Just pack it up." Xia Chunyu wrapped her in his robe and carried her back to the bed.

"Help me take off my clothes." Ye Jiayao ordered as she huddled on the bed.

"Why don't you bring any clothes? Just sleep like this and save yourself the trouble of having to take them off again later." Xia Chunyu said with a smile.

Ye Jiayao's eyes widened, haven't you done enough?

Xia Chunyu said hurriedly: "I'll get it. I'll get it."

He got her a dark purple bellyband and a lavender middle coat: "Will this suit work?"

Ye Jiayao raised her chin and motioned for him to put it down. Then she rolled her eyes towards the clean room and motioned for him to clean up quickly.

Xia Chunyu smiled and said in a strange tone: "My wife has an order, how dare I disobey it as a husband?"

Go clean it up honestly.

Ye Jiayao was amused by him and quickly put on her clothes. Her hair was not even dry yet and felt wet and sticky. She got out of bed and got a dry towel to wipe it with.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his money bag. Ye Jiayao tiptoed over and opened the purse to see that there was not a single copper coin in it.

He paid for shopping during the day, and she remembered that there seemed to be more than two hundred.

snort! Chunli must be leaving.

Ye Jiayao thought for a moment, took out two silver notes from her own money bag, stuffed them into his money bag, and threw a few pieces of silver into it.

Firstly, a man cannot live without money, especially a man of his status. Secondly, it is also a warning to him not to think that he can hide it from her.

Fortunately, the amount was not big this time, so she stopped being verbose, hoping that he would know it by heart.

Early the next morning, Chunyu went to the palace, and Ye Jiayao also had to go out to see off Ah Ruan. There would not be many opportunities to meet him in the future.

After arriving at the palace gate, Ye Jiayao was about to get off the carriage. Ah Ruan held her and asked her, "Sister Yaoyao, will you come to the palace to see me in the future?"

Ye Jiayao couldn't bear to say no and smiled: "I will come."

A few times should be fine! Just try to avoid those people.

Ah Ruan said anxiously: "You must keep your word! If you don't come, I won't have a companion at all."

Ye Jiayao nodded and said solemnly: "I will definitely come."

Watching the carriage enter the palace gate, it felt like watching a free-flying bird locked in a cage. Ye Jiayao felt uncomfortable in her heart, turned around suddenly, and quickly got on her carriage.

In the afternoon, Zhongyuan and Jinyao came back and brought gifts to Madam. Ye Jiayao took them to pay tribute to Youshi.

Youshi said some polite words, asked about Zhongyuan's studies, and asked them to come over for dinner tonight.

After meeting Youshi, Zhongyuan went to Chunguo's place. Jinyao went back to his room to rest, and Ye Jiayao was left behind by Youshi.

"You gave the Marquis a gift yesterday. The Marquis liked it very much, but don't spend so much money in the future." Youshi said.

"Mom, it didn't cost much, it was just a little thought. Didn't I get a reward yesterday? Everyone is happy." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Yesterday, Youshi thought that only the two of them and Sun's mother had gifts, but now she found out that everyone in the mansion had gifts. Even the stewards of the inner and outer courtyards gave away gifts, saying that Chunyu won the dragon boat race. Everyone is happy and happy. Although the servant was given only two silver plum blossoms, which were not worth much, it was a favor in the name of Chunyu. This kind of approach was very much approved by You. The second daughter-in-law really had no choice in how she behaved. .

"Then you should be more economical. I heard that you are still in debt? Do you have to pay back tens of thousands of taels every month?" Youshi asked.

Regarding the debt, Chun was angry with her and said that he had invested in the border trade business, but he didn't tell anyone about it. How did Youshi know about it?

Ye Jiayao nodded.

Youshi said: "If you are short of money, just tell me, I still have a little bit of money here."

Ye Jiayao said: "It can be turned around for the time being. The income from Tianshangju is decent. If it is not enough, the daughter-in-law will ask her mother for help."

"As for your eldest brother, he is that kind of person. In these years, Chunyu and Chunfeng have not asked me for money. He only comes to ask for money every now and then. He keeps a pile of broken stones at home. In the future, he will ask you to borrow money. Ignore him, he has a salary and property, I just give him a lot more, I don't have to spoil him," Youshi said.

Ye Jiayao wondered if You knew that her eldest brother came to borrow money yesterday? That must be what Chunfeng said.

Ye Jiayao smiled slightly: "If the eldest brother is really in urgent need, brothers should help each other."

"Why is he in such a hurry to buy stones?" Youshi snorted.

Ye Jiayao smiled: "My daughter-in-law has taken note of my mother's words."

Youshi said with a smile: "I met Mrs. Su a while ago. Mrs. Su said that Prime Minister Su had read Zhong Yuan's article and admired it greatly. He was very optimistic about Zhong Yuan and said that this child would be successful in the future. Min Rui is not bad, I heard that the gentlemen from the Imperial College also speak highly of him. From now on, you should be more considerate to them. In a few days, the fourth lady of the Su family will get married, and you will come with me to congratulate her."

Ye Jiayao had always known that Zhong Yuan was good, but she was a little surprised to receive such a high evaluation from Su Xiang. Was You hinting that she and the Su family should move around more?

After saying goodbye to Youshi, Ye Jiayao returned to her yard. Xiangtao and the others were surrounding Jinyao and talking about yesterday's dragon boat race. They were all excited and spitting. This girl, who was not present at the time, was talking about it as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes. Similar.

Jinyao listened, her eyes shining like stars, her face full of excitement.

Seeing the second young lady coming back, Xiangtao quickly stopped and wanted to wait on her. Ye Jiayao joked: "Keep talking nonsense and practice your talk. Maybe you can become a storyteller in the future."

Xiang Tao innocently said: "Second Young Mistress, this slave is not lying. Song Qi has already told this slave."

It turned out to be Song Qi’s disciple!

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Xiang Tao has been nagging about this all night last night."

"Sister Qiao Xi, you are so exaggerated." Xiang Tao pouted.

Ye Jiayao suppressed her laughter and went back to the house. Jinyao followed her in.

"Eldest sister, dad asked me to tell eldest sister that the river bank has been rebuilt and reinforced in eldest sister's name, so that eldest sister can rest assured."

Ye Jiayao brought an almost imperceptible sneer to her lips to reassure her that she didn't bother to pay attention to his nonsense. He said it as if he had bought her great face. Who cares? He just didn't fear losing his official position and going to jail. .

"Are grandparents in good health?" Ye Jiayao asked casually.

"Fortunately, the two elders also wanted to come to Jinling this time, but dad stopped them." Jin Yao said.

Oh, you still want to come to Jinling? They are so free! Didn't that mean she was unfilial? Aren't you afraid of being pissed off by her when you come here?

Ye Jiayao didn't like her grandparents, so she didn't welcome them.

"Sister, there's something I don't know whether I should say." Jin Yao hesitated.

Qiao Xi served tea.

Ye Jiayao gently lifted the tea lid and said slowly: "If you think you shouldn't say it, then don't say it."

"But, I think it's better to tell eldest sister."

Ye Jiayao laughed and glanced at her: "Then just say it."

Jin Yao said in a low voice: "Dad... he's getting married again."

Ye Jiayao lifted the tea lid's hand.

Get a wife? So fast? Ye Binghuai, Ye Binghuai, are you so anxious? Can’t live without a woman for a day?

"Do your mother and your second sister know about this?"

Jin Yao shook her head: "I don't know if Mom and the others know, I guess they can't hide it."

Ye Jiayao was really speechless. Ning agreed to divorce for the sake of Zhong Yuan's future, but she was definitely not reconciled to it. Ye Binghuai was going to marry another person so soon. Wasn't this irritating Ning? It's terrible for a woman to go crazy.

"Which company is it from?"

"She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou. She is eighteen years old. She was engaged earlier, but something happened to the man and he regretted it."

Ye Jiayao sneered, old cows eat young grass, Ye Binghuai is almost forty, and he married an eighteenth-year-old.

"Has the date been set?"

"It's settled, eighteen next month."

Ye Jiayao looked at the roses blooming on the window sill and wondered if she should write a letter to dissuade her. She would not care about renewing the relationship, but could she push it back, at least until next year.

Jin Yao added: "On the way back, Third Brother and I also discussed this matter. We felt that it would not be good to renew our relationship now, but Dad will not listen to what we say. Only if you, eldest sister, say it, will Dad listen."

"I understand what you mean. I will discuss it with your eldest brother-in-law later to see what should be done more appropriately." Ye Jiayao sighed.

If Ye Binghuai really got into trouble, she would ask Chunyu again. Chunyu had already cleaned up a lot of mess for him last time, and she really didn't want to embarrass Chunyu anymore.

When Chunyu came back from duty, Ye Jiayao told him about the incident.

Chunyu also felt that getting married next month would be too soon.

"I'll write a letter later and ask your father to postpone the wedding date."

"By the way, speaking of the Ning family, I also got some news today. Didn't Wei Liujiang get a job from Minister Mu? He was building a dike. I heard that something went wrong. The dike collapsed only halfway through the construction. It's all made of sand, and it's even worse than your father's in cutting corners," Chunyu said.

"Now there is a censor Zhezi to join Mu Shilang. This time Mu Shilang will be implicated."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but gloat: "He seems to have evil intentions at first glance, but Mu Shilang is very courageous. He knows who Wei Liujiang is and dares to entrust him with such an important task. Isn't he causing trouble for himself?"

"If it is found out, what will happen to Minister Mu?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu smiled sarcastically: "Shilang Mu has been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and he is not clean to begin with. There is no guarantee that someone will not take the opportunity to dig out his old background. If it is true, losing his official position will be an easy task."

"Wei Liujiang is such a bad guy! He cheated his own father, and now he's cheating his uncle again." Ye Jiayao sneered.

For such a person, she would not waste any sympathy on building a river embankment. It was a matter of human life. Wei Liujiang was so bold that he deserved to die.
