Chapter 124 He was the only one secretly competing against her

. It was evening when she got home.

The wind was still cold.

She had charcoal on her face when she went out these days, and it was a little itchy after a long time. Yu Tingwan washed her face as soon as she got back to the room.

Wei Zhao was reading a book with his head down.

It was given by the neighbor, and he was reading to pass the time.

Hearing the sound, Wei Zhao looked up.

Unlike the cotton coat she had worn before, which was obviously ill-fitting, this one was just the right size.

But the navy blue color...

looked mature in Wei Zhao's eyes, and was worn by older people. Even his biological mother, Lady Shunguo, did not have clothes of this color.

"Can you play chess?"

Yu Tingwan closed his eyes and rubbed his face carefully, his rosy lips opening and closing.

There were only two people in the room, and it was obvious that this was said to Wei Zhao.

"Not bad."

Yu Tingwan: "That's not right, I'm out in Haikou, you have to show that you are good at chess."

Wei Zhao told the truth: "I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who can compete with me."

Yu Tingwan was very satisfied.

"...Then can you play the flute?"

Wei Zhao: "Not bad."

"That's not right either."

Wei Zhao said indifferently: "Not proficient, but I have worshipped a teacher and studied for three years."

Yu Tingwan: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Next time someone asks, just say that."

Wei Zhao:...

Hui Niang and Wei Shouzhong were talking outside.

The girl listened to the sound and pursed her lips: "My mother didn't say it these days, but she is also thinking about her mother's family. When my uncle and his family came to the wedding, my cousin didn't show up, so I thought something was wrong."

"I'm afraid something really happened."

Zhao Yong and Yu's couple didn't say a word.

But Wei Shen's body was like that, and Yu Tingwan really couldn't take care of himself.

Now everything is getting better, but the county town and the countryside are too far apart, so it's not convenient

even if you want to help. Wei Zhao: "If you want to ask, it's not difficult. The Zhao family is studying in the academy in the town."

After the Spring Festival, the students all returned to the academy.

"I thought so too. We have an ox cart at home. I'll ask Dad to go check it out later."

If you want to know if Zhao Yu is in trouble, why not just go to the town and check?

"What Zhao family son? He's your cousin."

Wei Zhao: "I do have a cousin."

He said in a light tone: "But he is uneducated, a notorious bastard, and is spoiled by his family."

If it were in the past, Yu Tingwan would have to refute it.

Then is Zhao Yu not good?

Others take the imperial examination to get ahead, but others study hard to redress Xiao Niang's grievances.

But now, she paused and continued to wash her face.

Without saying a word.

The room suddenly became quiet.

The silence was a little weird.

Wei Zhao never intended to hide anything from Yu Tingwan.

Whenever she asked, Wei Zhao would never hold back.

But she didn't.

Wei Zhao hid his emotions: "There is no need to go to the town. Just ask the neighbor next door to ask for help."

Yu Tingwan was stunned: "Next door?"

She suddenly thought of something: "There is a teacher next door visiting today. Could it be the teacher in the town?"

She thought of something and couldn't help but speak with disgust.

"There are only two teachers in the town. One is named Chi. He had a serious illness a few years ago. Although he still forced himself to teach, the college, big and small, was handed over to other teachers to take care of."

"The other one you are talking about is Master Chu. Hu Yaozu is considered his proud student."

Yu Tingwan: "As far as I know, this person is very good at scheming."

The girl is obviously very smart.

Wei Zhao closed his eyes. On the contrary, sometimes even he couldn't guess what Yu Tingwan was thinking.

She should be suspicious.

Perhaps, she has begun to believe that he is Wei Zhao.

But she didn't react too much.

Although Yu Tingwan's emotions are sometimes revealed on her face, that is also under the premise that she is willing to be unreserved. If she really wants to hide, who can spy?

Wei Zhao: "His surname is Chu."

Yu Tingwan: "I don't know what that person is up to. If I knew, I would have ruined it."

The couple seemed to be secretly competing with each other. Yu Tingwan didn't want to talk about it or ask more questions. Wei Zhao simply let her do what she wanted.

It seemed that no one wanted to break this balance.

But only Wei Zhao knew.

He was the only one secretly competing with each other.

As for Yu Tingwan, she clearly didn't care.

Yu Tingwan washed her face and wiped it dry with a hanging cotton cloth: "I also bought rouge, but I don't know how to use it."

Yu Tingwan: "I wanted to go home and apply it on my face and slowly figure it out, but I forgot to buy a bronze mirror."

"But fortunately, I have a husband."

Wei Zhao frowned.

How to wield a knife and a stick, how to kill people, how to pry open the mouth of a traitor, and how to make people in Beijing go around in circles are his strengths.

But he has never touched a girl's thing.

"I don't know how to do it either."

Yu Tingwan: "It's okay."

Wei Zhao said indifferently: "I won't learn it either."

Yu Tingwan regretted it and found another way: "Then I can apply it on my husband's face to practice." When

a man draws eyebrows for a woman, it is called "holding the case and eyebrows together. "

Then they are almost the same.

Wei Zhao:? ? ?

His eyes became complicated.

There is nothing you dare not do, right?

Wei Zhao: "...You can learn it too."

Yu Tingwan: "I also bought perfume."

She knows how to use perfume.

The girl opened the box, scooped some out with her index finger, spread it evenly in her hand, and rubbed it on her face.

Yu Tingwan: "By the way, I bought clothes for the two elders."

She turned around and walked towards the bed.

Wei Zhao hesitated slightly.

I thought the girl was in her prime and she couldn't hold up the cotton-padded clothes, but she was born with a good figure and her skin was white and translucent, so it didn't feel abrupt.

It's just...

it's just that she should be more suitable for brocade and silk.

"Mother said no, but she is happy in her heart."

"Dad's clothes have just been tried on, and they fit me perfectly."

Yu Tingwan wanted to say something else.

Wei Zhao: "Where's mine?"

Yu Tingwan's steps paused, and a slight unnaturalness flashed across her face. But soon, the emotion was covered up.

"My husband is sick in bed, and there is a charcoal fire in the room, which is warm. Why

would you need it?" She sat down in front of the bed and reasoned with him in a gentle voice: "Besides, don't you have one? It's all covered with dust now."

Wei Zhao: "Oh."

His tone was flat, and there was an indistinguishable emotion in his deep eyes.

"You forgot."

Yu Tingwan, who was exposed:...

"It would be a waste to buy it. I thought that when my husband gets better, it would not be too late to make up for it."

Wei Zhao didn't listen.

He said slowly: "You forgot."

Yu Tingwan: "I have also seen those clothes, but they are not suitable for you..."

Wei Zhao said faintly: "You just forgot."

The girl was silent for a long time.

She pursed her lips in melancholy, and said very softly, "Can't my husband give me a way out?"

It was a rare gesture of defeat.

But soon.

Yu Tingwan coaxed: "A man should be more generous, don't always hold on to such a small matter."

As soon as the voice fell, Hui Niang's voice came from outside.

"Wan Niang, Aunt Zhao from next door wants to see you."

Look, the stairs are here.

Yu Tingwan slid faster than anyone else.

Seeing her figure disappear from sight, her steps were obviously anxious. Wei Zhao's expression slowed down and he picked up the book again.

After an unknown amount of time, a muffled laugh escaped from his throat.
