Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 144

Yu Shaoheng pondered for a moment, "Except for sewing and embroidery."

Ye Xizhao suppressed a smile, "I don't believe it. I'll let you cook for me, okay?"

Yu Shaoheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why not?"

Ye Xizhao looked at each other in surprise, "Yu Shaoheng, when did this happen? Your uncle can actually cook?"

Yu Shaoheng was attracted by her and laughed, "How is tonight? Let me see you."

Ye Xizhao was quite interested in this, "Okay, I'll wait and see." Afterwards, he stretched his tired figure, surrounded him, and fell into a dream.

When she was half asleep and half awake, she felt him gently scratching the tip of her nose, and barely raised her eyelids, "Why?"

Yu Shaoheng put his arm through her neck and forced her to sit up, "Get up, eat something before going to sleep." Then he turned to the outside room.

Ye Xizhao rubbed his eyes, then hugged the brocade quilt tightly, looked sideways for his clothes, and put them on as quickly as possible.

As soon as he put on the red silk trousers, Yu Shaoheng came back with a black lacquer table with food and put it beside the bed.

Ye Xizhao's expression froze, and then he smiled sweetly, "That's so good."

"What do you think?" Yu Shaoheng took the red bellyband she left at the end of the bed, "Shall I help you wear it?"

"Who wants your help..." Ye Xizhao blushed slightly, and went to snatch the small clothes.

Yu Shaoheng sat down calmly and looked at her with a half-smile.

It was originally something that should not be avoided, but because of his attitude, she felt very awkward because she was neither left nor right.

She glared at him disapprovingly.

The smile on his lips deepened little by little.

She couldn't help but reach out and push him, "Get out!"

Yu Shaoheng grabbed her wrist and took her into his arms, "Why?"

"Why?" Ye Xizhao stepped back blindly, "It's broad daylight..."

"It's not that you haven't seen it, what are you thinking about?" Yu Shaoheng said with a smile, and he had already hugged her in his arms while speaking.

Ye Xizhao's face turned redder, and he stretched his arms tightly around his figure.

Yu Shaoheng swam around her back with one hand and pulled the brocade quilt to wrap her around her.

Ye Xizhao raised his eyelids, and looked at him with a little reproach, "It's not that I haven't seen it, what are you messing around with?"

"You can't see enough, can you?" Yu Shaoheng lowered his head and asked for a kiss, while his hands wandered to her chest, gently rubbing the plump and flexible side.

Ye Xizhao sucked the tip of his tongue, harder, harder, then quickly turned his head and bit his earlobe again, "I'm clearly a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, why do you want me to annoy you.... "

Yu Shaoheng laughed softly, "Who made you feel hard for me?"

"Nonsense." Ye Xizhao tightened his teeth slightly, "Why don't you say I'm not as good as you?"

"Why don't you care about me?" Yu Shaoheng looked very embarrassed, "I'm in your care, don't you know?"

"Nonsense." Ye Xizhao scolded, but smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Facing her unassuming smile like a flower, Yu Shaoheng's heart seemed to be blown by the warm spring breeze, and the warmth spread from his heart.He teased: "Now can you let go of this nonsense?" Instead, he took the bellyband from her hand, went to find pajamas, and helped her put them on one by one.

Ye Xizhao raised his eyes to look at him from time to time, and saw that his expression was particularly soft, and there was affection in his eyes, so the curvature of the corners of his lips became more and more pleasant.

After a while, Ye Xizhao sat in front of the black painted table enjoying the meal, like a lazy and elegant cat.

Yu Shaoheng had already eaten, leaned aside, and looked at her with a smile.When she finished eating, she took the small table to the outside with her own hands, turned back and asked her: "Go for a walk or continue to sleep late?"

Ye Xizhao's slender eyelashes flickered, thinking seriously, as if this was a great event.

She is always like this, the bigger the matter, the more decisive, and the smaller the matter, the more difficult it is.Yu Shaoheng suppressed a smile and leaned on the bedside to wait.

"Let's go out for a walk and take a look at the nearby scenery." Ye Xizhao fell down beside him as he spoke, "But it will take a while, I don't bother to wash and dress right now."

Yu Shaoheng smiled and nodded.

Ye Xizhao was very interested in him when he was a child and a teenager, and when he was talking, he asked, "Didn't you like to laugh since you were a child?"

Yu Shaoheng was puzzled, "Have I always kept a straight face in front of you?"

"Of course not." Ye Xizhao smiled, "But when I first met you, and when I saw you facing outsiders, your words were concise and to the point, even scary."

Yu Shaoheng was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Afraid? How come I never thought you were afraid of me?"

"Nonsense, forget it if you're afraid, and let you see it..."

The corners of Yu Shaoheng's lips curled up, "You should have told me when you got married."

Ye Xizhao was involuntarily taken away from his original intention, and twitched at the corner of his mouth, "It's a good idea."

"Speaking of it," Yu Shaoheng turned sideways, seeing her starry eyes full of smiles, "Do you remember what happened the night we got married?"

"..."

Yu Shaoheng didn't let her avoid the past, and asked: "Do you remember?"

"What do I remember..." Ye Xizhao glanced at him sideways, "I didn't drink any water from morning to night, and my drinking capacity was extremely bad..." The mood was even worse, "After three glasses of wine , what else can I remember?" Then there was more anxiety in his eyes, "Why do you ask this? Did I make a joke?"

"No, don't worry." Yu Shaoheng kissed her, "Our Xi Zhao will not lose his composure anytime soon." As he spoke, his little and shockingly beautiful bride appeared in his mind on the wedding night.

He didn't want to talk too much, and Ye Xizhao didn't want to recall each other at that time, so he hurriedly brought the topic back, "Tell me, what were you like when you were young?"

Yu Shaoheng tried his best to think about it, and finally shook his head, "I really don't know, but I have a bad temper and impatient with outsiders. Of course, my second brother, third brother, and Shaoyun are sometimes hot and cold."

This is a very objective and pertinent evaluation of myself.Ye Xizhao also knew that he couldn't say more, so he changed the subject.

By the time Ye Xizhao got up, washed and adjusted his makeup, it was almost dusk.

They walked to the outer courtyard hand in hand, and when they were about to go out for a walk, Jia Nian came to meet him in a hurry, and when he got close, he said: "Master Hou, madam, the first and second uncles are here."

"Really?" The two said in unison, and then greeted them out at the same time.

Outside the Hanging Flower Gate, Ye Xihan and Ye Xilang were standing with their hands behind their backs, each with a horse beside them.

"Big Brother, Second Brother." Ye Xizhao smiled and walked over quickly.

The two brothers smiled and nodded at the same time, and greeted Yu Shaoheng again.

When returning, Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xilang walked in front, and Ye Xizhao and Ye Xihan walked slowly behind.

Ye Xihan looked sideways at Ye Xizhao, seeing his younger sister's complexion became more and more attractive, with a joy born from the heart on her brows, she smiled with satisfaction, "It seems that you are living very comfortably."

"It is indeed a good life." When Ye Xizhao looked at Ye Xihan, he was a little worried, "What about you? Look at you, you seem to have lost weight again."

Ye Xihan raised his hand and rubbed his increasingly clear and sharp face, still smiling, "I'm busy, not annoying, don't worry."

"...." Ye Xizhao wanted to ask him something, but he didn't want to make him unhappy during the New Year's Eve.

However, Ye Xihan understood her concerns, and said: "Your mother took pains to restrain and take care of the people and things in the room, I just need to wait and see what happens." After a pause, he spoke a little more Sentimental, "It's true that time is like a knife, grinding people's hearts. When she was able to accompany me to go to Sichuan, I thought she was the one who really shared the joys and sorrows with me, but I didn't expect that she could suffer but not enjoy the blessings. Slowly Is it all right?"

Ye Xizhao suggested: "You don't usually ignore her, and talk to her about what you think. After all, you are a couple who have gone through these years together."

"It's natural. I've always remembered her kindness, and now that she's confused for a moment, I won't let it go." Ye Xihan gave her a comforting smile, "I know who I am, and I'm not much better than her After this period, we will be able to work together.”

"I believe in you." Ye Xizhao gazed at him with appreciation and admiration.

Only then did Ye Xihan talk about the purpose of coming here: "Speaking of which, it happened last autumn. Xi Lang and I went to Zhuo County to meet old friends. On the way back to Beijing on the mountain road, we saw four seriously injured girls. , they rescued them and sent them to another hospital, asking Qiao Chen to help heal their injuries. The four of them had nowhere to go after recovering from their injuries. In order to repay their kindness, we asked ourselves to stay in another hospital as maidservants. We were a little wary, and while we kept them, we asked Xiao Xun investigated the matter, and later, Xiao Xun told us that these girls have a lot of background."

Ye Xizhao became more and more focused, waiting for the next article.

Ye Xihan had no intention of showing off, and continued: "They were originally quacks, and they belonged to a small gang who thought they were looking for information to make money. They were as well informed as the secret guards."

Ye Xizhao looked surprised, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true." Ye Xihan nodded affirmatively, "It was the year before last when this small gang arrived in the capital to seek wealth at the feet of the emperor. But I didn't expect that last autumn, when the enemies of the rivers and lakes came to seek revenge, the two leaders were murdered. The rest of the people either fled in all directions, or were seriously injured and their whereabouts are unknown. Xiao Xun ordered his cronies to investigate several times, and there is nothing wrong with the origins of these people."

Ye Xizhao's eyes lit up, "Then does that mean that these people can be used by you?"

"It's not for our use," Ye Xihan smiled brightly, "Xihan and I tested them a few times while watching, and they only felt grateful to us. In addition, Xiao Xun was sure that they would inquire about the news and track them down. Their abilities are outstanding, so we want to send them to you to help you with big and small things."

"Give it to me..." Ye Xizhao was overjoyed at first, but then said, "I really like such a person, but wouldn't it be better for you to stay by my side?"

Ye Xihan shook his head, "We two big men, what's the matter with them always walking around in front of us? Besides, if they are in your hands, isn't it the same as being in the hands of the Prime Minister?"

The two brothers had no intention of letting the woman walk around in front of them. After Ye Xihan's prodigal son turned around, he began to restrain himself everywhere, and Ye Xilang naturally didn't want Fang Fei to be suspicious and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.The last sentence was even more pleasant to Ye Xizhao's ears.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Xihan deliberately poured cold water on her: "It's rare for us to be free today. I heard that you are here, so I came here to talk about this matter. When we talked to Lord Hou, of course we said that we wanted to send these four people to you. Him. If he promises to keep it for his own use... we can just add a few maids."

Of course Ye Xizhao could tell that Ye Xihan did it on purpose, so he smiled and said, "Just watch the arrangements."

Several people arrived indoors, and after they were seated, the two brothers and Yu Shaoheng talked about the four girls—or the four quacks, in more detail than what Ye Xihan had just said. At the end, Ye Xihan said: "We The two are thinking, with such a rare manpower, it is better to walk around in the Hou's mansion."

Yu Shaoheng pondered for a moment, "These people, if you have no objection, let them serve Xi Zhao."

Of course Ye Xihan and Ye Xilang have no objection.

Immediately, Yu Shaoheng said again: "The steward of the Hou's mansion will select some maidservants every spring, and let them enter the mansion through the hands of the steward, and stay in the front yard for a period of time. If there is nothing suspicious, they will be brought into the main house. "

Yu Shaoheng's respect and care for Ye Xizhao now has no limit to him, so his wariness and suspicion towards anyone who gets close to Ye Xizhao also has no limit - now the capital's favorite wife The most famous person is Xiao Xun, followed by Yu Shaoheng, but Ye Xihan and Ye Xilang understand the reason why these two marquises dote on their wives, and know that the latter is the one who has tolerated and protected them for several years. younger sister.Therefore, they had long expected that Yu Shaoheng would act like this, and immediately nodded with a smile, and said in unison: "It should be so."

The matter was thus settled.

Ye Xizhao looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "It's time to prepare dinner, Lord Hou, eldest brother, second brother, do you have any dishes you want to eat? I'll make them for you." After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on Yu Shaoheng's handsome face. do pause.

But Yu Shaoheng said: "We are three brothers. In the past, we used to cook wild game and barbecue with our own hands before serving wine." His voice paused, and he looked at the two brothers, "Are you interested today? It just so happens that some of my servants went to the neighborhood in the afternoon. In the forest, I shot a few hares and came back."

"Really?" Ye Xihan said enthusiastically, "If I had known earlier, I would have come here sooner, and the food bought by myself is more delicious. However, it would be a good thing for us to bake and eat together."

Ye Xilang smiled and said: "I can't compare to you in this matter, so I can only beat you."

When Ye Xizhao heard this, the smile came from his heart to his eyes.They naturally learned this craft during the journey, no wonder Yu Shaoheng said to make something for her to eat.

"That's good." Yu Shaoheng looked at Ye Xizhao nonchalantly, "You don't need to be busy, just ask the kitchen to prepare some side dishes for drinking." After speaking, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Ye Xizhao smiled even more, nodded in agreement, and immediately went to the kitchen in person, looked at the ingredients one by one, selected a few according to the preferences of the three men, and then instructed the cook in detail what to do. After a while, when we turned back to the courtyard, it was completely dark.

The situation in front of her first made her laugh in surprise, and then she stood in the moon cave gate and watched quietly for a moment——

A bonfire was lit in the spacious courtyard, and the three big men were gathered around the grill at the moment, with cheerful smiles on their faces.

Yu Shaoheng sat on the chair leisurely, with the hem of the brocade robe tucked around his waist, one long leg bent, and black snow boots on the edge of the chair.There are seasonings on the high table beside him, holding the wine glass in one hand, and brushing the seasonings on the roasting hare from time to time with the other hand.

Ye Xihan, Ye Xilang and Yu Shaoheng look similar.

Although it is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, this situation is different.They just took it as a pastime.

Ye Xizhao walked over with a smile, took the wine pot first, and filled the wine glasses for the three people respectively.After that, she went to Yu Shaoheng's side, took the small brush in his hand, and brushed the chili oil on a hare that was roasting.

Ye Xilang took a look, and waved at Ye Xizhao while drinking.

Ye Xizhao was puzzled, "Don't you like spicy food very much?" Speaking of which, he also brought her to like spicy food since she was a child.

Ye Xilang put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother can't eat spicy food, did you forget?"

"He." Ye Xizhao didn't care, and pointed to the hare that was roasting in front of Ye Xihan, "It's fine for him to eat that, let's eat this."
