Chapter 124 Eating Together
But she knew that he might not come back after leaving. Baili Kui wanted to train him and let him take over the affairs of the Baili family. Secondly, he wanted him to cut off his contact with her. She believed that he would go to see the girl soon.
She took a deep breath and looked carefully at the man who had helped her countless times. She really thought it would be great if Baili was her brother. She sincerely thanked him for his kindness, but she was afraid she would never be able to repay him in this lifetime.
Then she said, "When you get to Fuzhou, learn from your uncle and become independent as soon as possible. If your mother asks you to look for girls, go and see them. Maybe there will be one you like. Don't miss it."
After hearing this, Baili Yunzhou stood up straight. The emotion and joy he had just felt instantly vanished. He said with some displeasure, "Alright, it's not your turn to worry about this. Just take care of your own business."
Seeing that he was unhappy, she didn't want to say more and only instructed, "Okay, I won't say anything more. Go back quickly."
Baili Yunzhou held the item in his arms, looked at her and asked, "Huatang, you won't be fascinated by other men after I leave, right? Especially that Zhao Yan. You can't believe anything he says."
Yu Huatang smiled helplessly and said, "That's not true, don't think too much about it. If you come across any experienced craftsmen in Fuzhou, please keep an eye out for them for me. I'll find time to learn from them."
Hearing her say this, he felt relieved. That's right, a good horse never turns back. There was nothing worth remembering about Zhao Yan. In her heart, he probably wasn't as important as those two picture books.
He said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. But I don't know when I'll be back. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, go to Baoxianglou. I've already told the servants there."
Yu Huatang nodded and smiled, "Okay, I got it. Let's go, and be careful on the road."
Baili Yunzhou hugged the thing in his arms tightly again, "Then I'm leaving..."
After saying that, he turned back and looked at her deeply for a few times, very reluctant to leave. In the end, it was only when she urged him to leave that he left.
Seeing the carriage turn out of the alley, a feeling of loneliness and sadness surged in Yu Huatang's heart.
Baili Yunzhou finally left... Perhaps everyone would leave, Xu Fu, Senior Brother, and the other guys would all leave one by one. She had always told herself that this was the unpredictable nature of life, that it was impermanent, and she should learn to accept it.
But when this day finally came, she still felt very lonely and desolate.
A few days after Baili Yunzhou left, Anfu got the news and immediately went back to tell Zhao Yan.
At this point, the wound has begun to scab over, and as long as you don't do anything that hurts your hand, there won't be much of a problem.
Zhao Yan was changing his own dressing. After hearing this news, his brows finally relaxed a little. After a while, he asked again, "Didn't Miss Yu tell you when she would come again?"
He had some bad intentions of taking advantage of her sympathy and guilt; he just wanted to see her.
Anfu said, "I told Miss Yu to come over when she has time. Changming Pavilion must be quite busy right now."
Zhao Yan said, "Why do I remember that today is the day for Changming Pavilion to rest." He looked up at the sky again. It was a cloudless day and it was a good day.
He said, "Go ask Miss Yu and tell her that we thank her for visiting us last time and would like to invite her to have a simple meal today."
Anfu knew that this was not a question, but a request to invite Miss Yu to come over.
Sure enough, Anfu tried to persuade her in every possible way, saying that he had bought too many dishes and the young master might scold him if he couldn't finish them, and so on. After making up more than a dozen reasons, Yu Huatang finally agreed.
When Zhao Yan got the news, he immediately ordered them to prepare some medicinal food. He knew that her health had not been good in the past, so it was just right for her to have more nourishment.
By noon, the entire courtyard had been cleaned inside and out. The new servant, Xiaolu, was very quick and efficient. In less than a moment, he had followed Zhao Yan's instructions and placed a bouquet of flowers on the table.
Because of this injury, she would eventually soften her heart. Now that he could see her often, as long as he controlled himself and didn't say anything careless, he could get along with her peacefully.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Huatang brought some cakes. Anfu took them with a bow. Yu Huatang went into the inner courtyard and looked at his injuries again. "It seems to be recovering well. Fortunately, it's only the left hand that was injured. If it was the right hand, it would probably take about a hundred days to recover. Sir, you should be more careful and don't use too much force."
"At most, I can just write some paperwork, I won't exert any strength." He leaned back on the beauty chair, looking a little weak.
Yu Huatang asked, "Are we going to the government office tomorrow?"
"Yeah." He answered softly, then stood up and led her to sit at the table, and personally picked up some food for her.
"Your Excellency should eat more too." Yu Huatang said casually while exchanging greetings.
The meal was very quiet. Yu Huatang originally thought that there were other people present, but there were only the two of them, so Anfu and the others naturally would not sit at the same table.
When she finished the last bowl of soup, she finally felt relieved. At this time, Zhao Yan said, "Why don't you eat more? I specially asked them to use medicinal herbs."
Yu Huatang shook his head, "I really can't eat any more, please enjoy your meal, sir."
Because there were only two of them, she couldn't leave the table immediately. Zhao Yan had injured his left hand, so he could only eat dishes that were easier to pick up. Seeing that he was eating some vegetarian food and that he had been injured because of his own affairs, she asked, "...Do you need me to serve the food for you, sir?"
Zhao Yan nodded, "Thank you for your help then."
Yu Huatang took a pair of unused chopsticks and a bowl, picked up a chicken leg for him, and carefully removed the bones for him to make it easier to eat.
As she passed it over, Zhao Yan took it and ate it, the two of them having a tacit understanding. After finishing a chicken leg, she picked up some fish, carefully picked out the bones, and put it in his bowl.
Finally, she served him a bowl of pork belly soup, and when it was ready to drink, she placed it in front of him.
By this point, Zhao Yan was very full and even felt that it would be better if he could eat a little more.
Seeing that lunch was over, Anfu came over to collect the dishes. Yu Huatang wanted to go back, but the host had not finished cleaning up yet, and it would be too rude to leave at this time.
At this time, Zhao Yan said, "Why don't we go out for a walk."
"Okay." Yu Huatang stood up and took the cloak.
Xiaolu also put on a cloak for his master.
The two of them went out one after the other. It was a cold winter day and the air was particularly chilly. Walking on the road, there was a special kind of clarity.
"I heard that Master Baili went to Fuzhou."
Yu Huatang replied, "Yeah."
"If you run into any trouble later, you can come to me," he instructed.
"It's not a big deal. Thank you for your help, sir." She refused softly.
After walking a few steps, he could see a large open space covered with snow. He remembered that in the past, when it snowed heavily in the capital, dignitaries and young girls would go out for fun. It was also popular in the capital at that time to boil tea in the snow. It would be even better if some plum blossoms were added.
