Chapter 35 Curiosity is the beginning of heartbeat

Early in the morning, outside Jiang Jiu's window, Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu opened the window a little and started arguing.

Xiao Yimo peeked in for a while and concluded: "From my perspective as a man, I think that Lu Yunyang has fallen in love with Xiaojiu... You didn't see his eyes, they were always on Xiaojiu..."

Chu Yu was not convinced and glanced at Xiao Yimo: "Why do I feel that his eyes are cold and disdainful, as if he doesn't like anyone? Besides, he already has eight concubines, Xiao Jiu will never be interested in her."

Xiao Yimo curled his lips: "Xiao Jiu's vision is high, but Lu Yunyang is not bad either. I'm afraid that he can take Xiao Jiu down with a little trick. You know, Xiao Jiu has no experience..."

Chu Yu still didn't believe it: "You underestimate Xiaojiu too much. I think Lu Yunyang is not as good-looking as you. Xiaojiu doesn't even like you, let alone Lu Yunyang..."

Xiao Yimo giggled and held Chu Yu's hand: "Do you really think I'm prettier than Lu Yunyang?"

Chu Yu glared at him: "It's fake."

Xiao Yimo stamped his feet in anger: "You are not interested in Lu Yunyang, are you? I don't care, you are my woman. If you dare to look at him for even a second, I will fight him to the death..."

Chu Yu was angry at his lack of fighting spirit, so she pulled Xiao Yimo's arm and left "quietly".

"With your three-legged cat kung fu, you can't even beat me, how can you beat him... Come on, let me teach you kung fu..."

Jiang Jiu was awakened by the sound of two people talking. He opened his eyes and met a pair of affectionate gazes.

Seeing her wake up, there was a flash of loss in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"woke up……"

Jiang Jiu was just about to move her arm when she realized it was numb and she grimaced in pain.

"Hands, hands are numb..."

Her hand tightly held Lu Yunyang's hand, and he did not let go. He kept holding it like this. After a long time, Jiang Jiu's arm became numb.

Lu Yunyang let go of her hand and squeezed her arm: "Are you feeling better?"

After moving around a bit, his arms and hands were no longer numb, and Jiang Jiu climbed up from the bed. Suddenly, his feet slipped and he fell on Lu Yunyang.

Bo Liang's lips brushed against Lu Yunyang's face. Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up.

"My feet are numb too..."

Lu Yunyang didn't care. He held her arms with both hands to help her stand steadily, and then he got off the bed.

"There is realgar in the wine. I am allergic to realgar. I fainted yesterday. I guess I scared you."

Jiang Jiu shook his head lightly: "You know you are allergic to realgar, and you still drink alcohol..."

Lu Yunyang poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp: "I just don't want you to drink alone with a man, I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."

The starting point is good, but there are also cases of people pestering others after getting drunk.

Now that Lu Yunyang has fully woken up, Jiang Jiu feels relieved.

"Are you feeling better? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you..."

Lu Yunyang raised his eyebrows curiously: "Can you cook?"

"No." Jiang Jiu was a little embarrassed and answered honestly: "I just said it casually. Anyway, the cook will do it."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunyang became interested: "I can cook. I want to eat Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Why don't you help me light the fire and I'll stew it for the two of us to eat together?"

Jiang Jiu didn't know how she agreed to Lu Yunyang. She, who never liked going into the kitchen, became Lu Yunyang's cooking girl.

"Add more wood, the fire should be bigger."

"Remove a piece of firewood. The fire is too big."

"Okay, simmer for a quarter of an hour."

Two bowls of soup were stewed in the clay pot. Lu Yunyang gave one bowl to Jiang Jiu and kept one for himself.

"Do you want some sugar?"

Lu Yunyang likes sweet food, so he added a spoonful of it himself.

Jiang Jiu took a small sip and added a spoonful.

Lu Yunyang tasted it and found it not sweet, so he added another spoonful. Jiang Jiu passed the bowl over and added another spoonful as well.

At this moment, they both took a bite. It was soft, glutinous, sweet, and the fragrance lingered on their lips and teeth.

"Mm, it's delicious. This is the best Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup I have ever tasted."

Lu Yunyang also sighed with satisfaction: "When I was sick and took medicine when I was a child, my mother would make me a bowl of soup. But she was afraid that my teeth would be rotten, so she always put a spoonful of sugar in it. In fact, two spoonfuls is just right."

Little did people know that in modern times, Jiang Jiu's favorite dish is Tremella fuciformis and lotus seed soup, but it is a fast food that only needs to be washed down with water, and she also likes to add an extra spoonful of sugar.

But she has been here for more than ten years, and this is her first time eating it. However, the taste is almost the same as the modern ones, which inevitably brought back her memories of the past.

But she couldn't say it, because she couldn't eat alone in County Mayor Jiang's house.

After Lu Yunyang finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Jiu quietly and remembered that Jiang Jiu had never seen his parents since he was a child.

Curiosity burst out: "Have you lived in County Mayor Jiang's house since you were a child?"

It was rare for the two of them to talk calmly, and Jiang Jiu didn't get angry and argue with him anymore.

"Well, I've lived in his house since I can remember."

Lu Yunyang became more and more curious: "In fact, the one who is closest to you is Nanny Qian. After all, County Magistrate Jiang's wife is one level away from you, and it's good enough that she doesn't abuse you."

"She's... okay." Jiang Jiu pulled a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth: "When I was very young, Aunt Qian told me that we were living under someone else's roof, so I couldn't paint too well, play the piano just enough, and even dress too conspicuously."

Who made Jiang County Minister have a daughter who is almost her age?

Lu Yunyang smiled contemptuously: "Yeah, who likes people who are better than themselves?"

"If that's the case, why did Jiang Mingyue want to exchange marriages with you? She was the one who blocked my door and forced me to agree to the marriage."

Jiang Jiu actually knew about this because she was the one who accompanied Jiang Mingyue there at that time.

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything, just drank the soup spoonful by spoonful. The sweetness in his mouth could not cover up the bitterness in his heart.

After a long while, Lu Yunming suddenly said: "Fate is sometimes very strange. When Jiang Mingyue blocked my door, I saw you..."

Jiang Jiu was slightly startled, and looked at Lu Yunyang with bright and clear eyes, which were full of curiosity and inquiry.

Lu Yunyang smiled: "I remember you were wearing a light blue dress at the time, and you had no other jewelry on your head except a blue pearl hairpin, which was dazzling in the sun."

"At that time, I thought that Jiang Mingyue was a noisy woman and I didn't like her at all. If it were you... I think you might agree..."

Unexpectedly, the person she really married was Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu lowered his head, finished the bowl of porridge, wiped his mouth, and savored the sweet taste for a long time.

"Yes, some fates are indeed very strange..."

For example, two people can drink porridge together and have a good chat.

Lu Yunyang also finished drinking and put the bowl down.

"I've made up my mind. After I bring you to Prince Qi's mansion, I will fulfill your promise. If you really want to divorce me, you can. Be my master and manage my business for me. I will give you 20% of my income. How about that?"

Jiang Jiu frowned: "Be your master? Manage your business? How much business can you have? Besides, after we get divorced, your affairs will naturally be managed by your future wife. If I manage them, won't I become your subordinate?"

Lu Yunyang looked at Jiang Jiu deeply, a deep and complicated look, and suddenly, his heart softened and he laughed.

"If you don't want to, forget it. I'm just talking. I'm tired. Help the young master go back and rest."
