Yu Rong finally realized that Xie Junze had a preference for both men and women. Could it be that Yu Rou died suddenly because of this? This shouldn't be the case. She was thinking with her chin in her hands when she saw Wei Xuan Ning tapping her forehead: "What are you thinking about? Come and talk to me."

"No, I didn't think much. I just felt a little sorry for my elder sister. Do you think my aunt really didn't know that Xie Junze had such a preference?" At that time, everyone in the clan praised how good the elder aunt was and said how lucky the elder sister was. Now it seems that there are a lot of dirty things behind it.

"Whether you know it or not, it doesn't affect anything." Wei Xuanning himself is not good at this, but there are many men in Daqi who like homosexuality. It is said that when the late emperor was young, he even made the men he favored the title of marquis.

Seeing him so careless, Yurong squinted at him, "Are you like this too? If you are, be careful or I'll beat you up."

Wei Xuanning shook his head quickly: "Don't put other people's affairs on me, I don't like that." Then he explained: "Maybe your elder sister also knows, you have to think about her status is not high, a girl like an orphan from the Yang family can marry into the main branch of the Xie family, which is unusual."

What he meant was that there was something wrong with the marriage itself.

People in the world pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds. If Yurong had not hit upon the right opportunity, she would probably never have been able to marry into the Wei family in her lifetime. The Wei family was unwilling to marry even a princess.

Once upon a time, there was a prime minister in the previous dynasty. Someone asked him what regrets he had in his life. He said that he wished he could marry the daughter of the Wei family.

Yurong thought about Yurou's personality and shook her head. If she wrote to her, she might pretend not to know. If she found out, she would feel uncomfortable.

"If I didn't know about this, it would be fine. But now that I know, I have to ask someone reliable. My mother is very close to the eldest son's family because my father got promoted in recent years. I will write to my mother and let her handle it."

Wei Xuanning remained silent.

She quickly mailed the letter at the next post station, and felt much better after that.

When in Danzhou, after Xie Junze said goodbye, Yurong and Wei Xuanning continued to go to Qingzhou. Qingzhou and Danzhou are neighbors, but the further north they go, the more desolate Qingzhou feels.

There were half-naked people along the way, their faces could no longer be seen. Yurong looked at them and started to cry. Wei Xuanning was very surprised, because he knew Yurong and she had never been panicked even after killing the murderer with her own hands, but now she was crying.

He hugged her, as if he knew what she was thinking, "Don't worry, I will take care of this place."

But Yurong shook her head: "It's not that I don't believe you, but there are so many evil spirits here, it's not something that one person can do."

"Don't you still exist?" Wei Xuanning looked at her with a hint of doting.

Yurong didn't seem to expect him to say this. She was a little surprised: "Yes, me?"

Wei Xuanning smiled and nodded: "Of course you are one of them. You are very intelligent and know how to act. Is it possible?"

Yurong was a little proud of what she said, "You are quite knowledgeable."

After traveling for a few more days, Wei Xuanning sent Zhu Luo to the front to make arrangements. As soon as they entered the city, local officials came. Yurong followed Zhu Luo and the servants to the Qingzhou government office first.

The third-rank transport envoy was allowed to live in a government office. It was the first time for Yurong to live in a government office, so she was very curious. She followed them in, caressing her big belly. Bitao and Lirui had already told the little maids to put everything in place, but the place was very tidy, and all she had to do was pack the boxes she brought from home.

"It's still hot now, so just bring a thin blanket. I can't cover myself with a thick blanket now, and I wonder if it will be cold in Qingzhou at night."

Bi Tao touched her hands and said, "I don't know if it's cold or not, but Qingzhou is too dry. Look at my hands, they are dry."

Yurong took her hand and examined it. Sure enough, there were cracks on it. She said hurriedly, "That's true. I still have some clam oil in my box. You can take it and share it. A girl's hands can't dry out."

All the maids thanked me.

The Zhuanyunshi Yamen was very large and more exquisitely built than she had imagined. Yurong held her belly and walked around inside. There were many old servants who stayed in the Yamen. Most of them were locals and spoke with a strong Qingzhou dialect.

Yurong asked the maids to come over and talk to her. Xuebai was puzzled because it was obviously the grandmother who came with them and was pregnant, but she looked full of energy.

There were servants kneeling down below. The younger one was called Junniang, the government cook. Yurong asked her, "What's your specialty? Today is our first day here, so you'd better show your skills."

Junniang thought that the new fairy-like person would dislike them, but she didn't expect her to be so approachable and speak so softly.

She said excitedly, "We Qingzhou people love to eat lamb. I am the best at making lamb and scorpion soup. I guarantee that Madam will enjoy it."

Amount?

Although Yurong was not picky about food, she still frowned when talking about mutton. The main reason was that if mutton was not cooked well, it would have a strong smell. She couldn't help but say, "People in Kyoto don't eat much mutton. You are good at other things. It's hot today. How about some side dishes?"

It turned out that the distinguished guest did not like to eat mutton. Junniang was not stupid. She heard it immediately and said hurriedly, "I can cook many side dishes."

"Okay, if you really make it delicious, I will reward you."

She saw an old woman with a little girl and couldn't help asking, "What do you do?"

"I am a gardener for the government office."

The old woman is in good shape, no wonder she can do the trimming work. Her granddaughter is also chubby, so this family may be well off.

Yurong knew what was going on and asked hurriedly, "Your granddaughter is so cute. What's her name?"

Speaking of her granddaughter, the old woman said, "Madam, she is my granddaughter, and her name is Xiaoxiao."

"Granddaughter?" Yurong pretended to be surprised.

The old woman nodded. "My daughter's husband left early and never came back. She worked outside, and my son and I raised this little granddaughter for her."

"Hmm."

…

The servants who followed from the Wei family once again experienced the patience of the grandmother. She was so infatuated with the servants in the government office that she did not reveal anything about herself, but she knew all the details of these people.

After all the officials and servants had left, she could still take out her four treasures of the study and write something quickly.

When Wei Xuanning came back, the dishes had already been served on the table. They were all Qingzhou's local specialties. Qingzhou is mostly saline and alkaline land with vast land and sparse population, and the local people use a lot of turmeric in their food. Fortunately, Yurong felt that it was inappropriate and asked Junniang to cook another table of dishes.

Of course, this was improved. She had not forgotten how picky Wei Xuanning was.

"What is this? It's pitch black. I don't want to eat it." Wei Xuanning immediately put down his chopsticks.

Yurong did not tolerate him. "If you don't want to eat it, then I will. This is black fungus. Don't you know what black fungus is? It's just that it's dry here. I soaked it before frying it, so it became soft."

She also picked up a piece of meat and gave it to Wei Xuanning, "Here, this is five-thread camel peak, a famous dish in Qingzhou. It also contains cooked ham and magnolia slices. Try it."

Seeing that she was eating with big mouthfuls, Wei Xuanning really couldn't be awkward anymore.

Since he was a child, he has been the kind of person who would rather starve for three days and three nights than encounter something he doesn't like, but his wife seems to be able to endure any hardship.

Although the food here was very simple, she ate it with gusto and said to him, "This beef noodles looks delicious, and the noodles are thin, which shows that the chef is very skilled."

"Didn't we agree that we would have our own chef?" Wei Xuanning said in a low voice.

Yurong disagreed: "When you are in a place, you should adapt to the local customs. How can you really do well in the government office if you don't even eat their food? I know you are always picky about food. Wherever you go, you always want to be spoiled for choice. Look, I see some clues."

Wei Xuanning didn't expect her to call him coquettish. He originally wanted to act coquettishly with Yurong, but it led her to say such words. He couldn't help but ask, "What did you see?"

"I can see that the government offices here are very lazy. All of them got in through the back door. Most of the maids in the government offices are actually quite wealthy. For example, today there was an old woman who was doing hairdressing. She lived in the government office with her granddaughter, but her daughter was able to buy a house and a shop in Qingzhou City by herself. Can you guess why? Her job was to gamble for the idle men."

"Think about it, Qingzhou is such a poor place, what idle people are there? Those people are probably salt smugglers."

Yurong urged him again: "Eat the noodles quickly, don't wait until they get cold."

Wei Xuanning said, "You can see the big picture from the small details. I think you are better than my staff."

He never knew that she seemed to be different from when she was in the Wei Mansion. When she was in the Wei Mansion, she at most showed the talent of a housekeeper, but after coming out, she seemed to be more like a fortune teller than himself.

"Silly boy, eat quickly. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work." Yurong urged.

This guy is so big, but he is so picky about food. This is not acceptable.

I didn't expect that she would have such a personality. She acted as if all the suffering was normal and she would complain, but she would just do what she had to do. She wouldn't be hypocritical or make pretentious excuses for you to persist. She would just silently accompany you through everything.

In the past, everyone paid too much attention to him, but she seemed to care about him, but seemed to care more about something else.

But that's good too.

He buried his head in the noodles and soon discovered that he had a pretty big appetite. In the past, he often had a hard time finishing a bowl of noodles, but today, he finished it all.

In the Jingzhao government office, even though the food was not tasty, he would eat less or not eat at all, but he would always pretend to eat.

Every time I see people eating with such relish, I find it strange.

Now that I taste it, I don’t think it’s that bad!

Seeing how deliciously he was eating, Yurong couldn't help but smile and said, "After I finish, I want to take a nap. You can accompany me. It's a good opportunity for you to recuperate as well."

There has to be some sweetness!

Wei Xuanning smiled and nodded. See, it doesn't matter if he is a little bit coquettish, his wife will still love him in the end anyway. It doesn't matter if he can't endure hardship, his wife will naturally compensate him with sweet things anyway!
