Chapter 106 This woman wants to sew him a cotton-padded jacket
Xie woke up early. It was still dark outside. She turned her head to look at the little fat boy who was still sleeping soundly under the quilt. She tucked the quilt into him and got up to go outside to practice boxing.
This winter was snowy and cold, and little Xingsu was particularly sleepy. Xie Zaozao was afraid that the child would get frozen, so she added some magical medicines.
So the child can sleep better now.
After a quick wash, she pushed the door open and went out, doing a set of boxing in the yard as usual.
As I was fighting, I heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard.
When the door opened, it turned out to be Yun Yuxiao who was wrapped up tightly. Her face was a little pale from the cold. She was wrapped tightly in a cloak, and her breath came out when she opened her mouth.
Seeing Xie Zaozao dressed so lightly yet looking so calm, and then looking at Xie Zaozao's slender figure and her posture wrapped like a bear, she couldn't help it.
"Miss Xie is really very patient. In such cold weather, she can still dress up to please herself."
Xie Zao Zao didn't understand what she said and nodded casually: "Yes."
Yun Yuxiao: "...Where's Mr. Fu? I made some delicious side dishes for him."
Xie Zaozao: "I didn't come back last night."
Yun Yuxiao was startled for a moment, then a barely perceptible joy appeared on her face: "So, he doesn't come back to accompany you every day."
Xie Zaozao: "What do you want to do with me?"
"Miss Xie is indeed sensible," Yun Yuxiao praised. "She knows how to stop clinging to men, which makes her more sensible than many maids."
Just as Xie Zaozao was about to retort her, she heard a squeak from behind. Shuyue walked out of Fu Yanzhi's room, followed closely by Fu Yanzhi.
Fu Yanzhi: "Who said I didn't come back last night?"
Xie Zaozao had no guilt: "Why don't you get up now that you're back?"
When Fu Yanzhi was in the yard, he got up earlier than Xie Zao every morning.
Fu Yanzhi didn't say anything and looked at Xie Zaozao with a stern face.
Shuyue, on the other hand, was quick to react: "Sir, he had an argument with the old man last night and didn't return to his room until after midnight, so he got up a little late."
Before Xie Zaozao could say anything, Yun Yuxiao stepped forward and said, "Mr. Fu, I've been walking all the way here early this morning, and the charcoal in my hand warmer is all burned out. Can I get some more from you?"
After saying that, he took out an exquisite little hand warmer from his arms and looked at Fu Yanzhi expectantly.
Fu Yanzhi: ...
It seems like she lives not far from here, how could it be completely burned? How big can it burn?
He looked at Yun Yuxiao's fox fur coat and brocade cloak again, and looked away again, his disgust almost overflowing.
Fu Yanzhi: "Shuyue, take her to change."
Shuyue: “Yes.”
The master and servant exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
Fu Yanzhi: Add a little.
Shuyue: Don’t worry.
Shuyue turned to Yun Yuxiao and said, "Miss Yun, please follow me."
Yun Yuxiao's eyes were still on Fu Yanzhi, so she was naturally a little reluctant: "Wasn't Mr. Fu taking me there?"
Shu Yue asked curiously, "My master personally added charcoal to your hand stove?"
Then your hand warmer can only burn dry.
Yun Yuxiao wanted to say something, but Xie Zao had already stepped forward, took the hand warmer, and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll help you add more."
After saying that, he walked into the kitchen. Yun Yuxiao hesitated for a moment and wanted to follow him, but after looking at Fu Yanzhi, she finally stopped where she was.
"Mr. Fu, your maid is very sensible." Yun Yuxiao said, "If the old man is determined not to keep her, I can help put in a word."
Fu Yanzhi didn't say anything.
Yun Yuxiao: "Mr. Fu?"
Fu Yanzhi: "Are you talking to me?"
Yun Yuxiao was embarrassed: "Of course I'm talking to you."
"Who is staying in my room and why would you interrupt?"
Yun Yuxiao's face turned pale and her body was shaking. She was helped by the person next to her in time and did not fall to the ground.
"Why are you so cold, Mr. Fu? My Yun family doesn't owe your Fu family anything."
At this moment, Xie Zao Zao rushed out of the kitchen, shouting, "It's full."
While stuffing the hand warmer into Yun Yuxiao's hand.
Yun Yuxiao took it and just felt a little warm, but then she felt choked. She looked again and saw that her hand warmer was emitting black smoke. She didn't know what kind of charcoal she added, but it made her cough repeatedly.
"You, you, this...what on earth did you add?"
"It's a charcoal fire for cooking," Xie Zao Zao said. "It's full."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Fu Yanzhi glare at her, and she looked back at him innocently.
"You, you maid are so ignorant. How can you use such coarse charcoal for a hand warmer!" She coughed and wanted to teach Xie Zaozao a lesson, but she didn't expect that Fu Yanzhi had already taken the lead and pulled Xie Zaozao behind him.
Fu Yanzhi said, "Miss Yun just said she doesn't owe us anything, so let's pay the charcoal money first."
After saying that, he pulled Xie Zao Zao back to the house.
Yun Yuxiao coughed and tried to follow, but was stopped by Shuyue: "Miss Yun, please settle the bill. This charcoal costs thirty coins a basket in the market. You used—"
Yun Yuxiao was so angry that she kept coughing, but she was also freezing to death. She had no money on her. In the end, she threw down a silver ingot and went back coughing all the way while holding the hand warmer.
This must be Mr. Fu's test for her!
...A test is a test, but what is the purpose of this test? She simply cannot understand it. Mr. Fu is indeed an expert, and cannot be guessed by common sense!

Xie Zao Zao was dragged into the room by Fu Yanzhi, pressed on a chair, and sat there looking at Fu Yanzhi in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Yanzhi looked a little angry: "Are you stupid, woman?"
Xie Zaozao: “Hmm?”
"Why did you give her so much?"
Xie Zaozao: “…”
System: "Mr. Fu is truly a good manager of his family's wealth."
Xie Zaozao didn't say anything. She also felt that she had added a bit too much, but if she added less, not as much smoke would come out. It seemed more cost-effective to choke her to death.
Seeing Xie had stopped talking early, Fu Yanzhi assumed that she had realized her mistake. Then, seeing how lightly she was dressed, he couldn't help but ask, "Does our Guanshan Pavilion have no money left? Is this all you're wearing?"
Xie Zaozao was puzzled: "What else?"
She was just doing boxing, is she going to be wrapped up like a dumpling?
"Go find Shuyue and ask him to take you to make some winter coats." Fu Yanzhi said coldly, "If you catch a cold, you'll infect the children."
After it snowed yesterday, he asked Shuyue to buy some thick clothes for the children, for fear that little Xingsu would get frozen.
I just didn't expect that this woman wouldn't even dress properly.
Xie Zaozao looked confused, not knowing why Fu Yanzhi suddenly said this. She was not cold.
The system tutted twice: "Host, Mr. Fu is concerned about you, why don't you thank him quickly."
Xie Zaozao: "I'm not cold. Why are you asking me to wear so much? Will I get a heat rash?"
System: ...It's snowing heavily, let me see if you get a prickly heat rash.
But Xie Zaozao could understand that Fu Yanzhi seemed to care about her. After all, caring about whether others were cold in winter and taking the initiative to offer clothes was most likely a sign of concern.
She wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her, so she took the initiative to show concern: "Sir, you're wearing thin clothes, you should wear something thicker."
Fu Yanzhi quickly replied: "I don't have any heavy clothes."
Xie Zaozao: "..." He continued, he didn't have thick clothes.
"Then... I'll help you—" Xie Zao Zao wanted to say, "I'll tell Shu Yue for you," but Fu Yanzhi replied halfway through: "Then thank you for your help."
Is she also concerned about herself and is going to make winter clothes for herself?
