Chapter 329 Fruit
This one sentence made Yu Fangyin blush and twist the handkerchief in her hand awkwardly.
"Eighth sister, this is not right!" Huo Jiao said dissatisfiedly upon seeing this: "Although you are the daughter of the Marquis's family, in terms of status, not to mention my cousin, even I can't compare to you. However, no matter what, my cousin is still a real relative. If we really talk about closeness, can't you be compared to someone who is not even related at all?"
As Yihang was talking, Huo Jiao glared at Yuan Ziyu, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"You..." Huo Wan was about to retort when Yuan Ziyou grabbed her hand. Yuan Ziyou stepped forward and said to Huo Jiao with a smile, "Miss Huo, you are old, and your memory may be impaired. I won't blame you, but if we really talk about closeness, you, cousin Yu, really can't compare to me. After all, I am Huo Xifei's legitimate fiancée, the future wife of the Marquis of Xuanping. Tell me, who is farther? Who is closer?"
"You... humph!" Huo Jiao snorted angrily at Yuan Ziyu's words. "You're so arrogant! You don't know what the future holds, but now you're calling yourself the Crown Prince's wife. Aren't you afraid of getting slapped in the face in the future?"
"What does my future have to do with Miss Huo? Miss Huo is a bit too nosy!" Yuan Ziyu smiled faintly: "If Miss Huo is so free, why not focus on the people around you? The jealousy and hostility in your eyes towards me are almost overflowing. I also advise you that even if you covet someone else's fiancé, you should at least be more discreet."
Yu Fangyin has admired Huo Xifei since she was a child, and she has always wanted to marry him. When she learned that Huo Xifei already had a fiancée, it was a bolt from the blue. All she thought about was how to replace Yuan Ziyu.
However, she and Yuan Ziyu had never met before. When she saw him today, she was secretly shocked by Yuan Ziyu's appearance, and at the same time she felt jealous and envious. Without paying attention, her emotions were revealed.
Being exposed by Yuan Ziyu in person, he felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed. He immediately covered his face and turned around and ran away!
"Cousin!" Huo Jiao called out hurriedly. Seeing that Yu Fangyin didn't stop, she said to Yuan Ziyu angrily, "Just wait!"
After saying that, he turned around and chased Yu Fangyin!
Huo Na and Huo Xian didn't want to stay any longer, so they turned around and left!
"Finally they left!" Huo Wan was fed up with the people from the Huo family's third branch. She cast a disgusted glance at the direction they left and said to Yuan Ziyu, "Sister You, you shouldn't have stopped me just now. You should have let me give them a good scolding. It's so inexplicable. They keep staring at my eldest brother all day long. How shameless!"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll count on you to protect me from now on!"
"Okay!" Huo Wan responded with a smile!
"Let's go!" Yuan Ziyou said, "Let me see what fresh fruits you brought back."
"Yeah, let's go into the yard!" Huo Wan pulled Yuan Ziyu into the yard and said, "Sister You, let me tell you, that fruit is really delicious. I guarantee you've never seen it before!"
As she spoke, Huo Wan ordered Wu Hen to get the fruit.
As soon as the two of them sat down in the west wing, Wu Hen walked in holding a mahogany carved branch fruit plate. On the plate were several purple-red round fruits with stems on top, which also looked round and very cute.
It was only when Wu Hen brought the fruit plate closer that Yuan Ziyu discovered that the fruit was actually covered with a hard purple-red shell.
Yuan Ziyu had never seen such a fruit before, not to mention in this life, even in the previous life.
"What is the name of this fruit?" Yuan Ziyu picked up a fruit curiously and looked at it in front of his eyes.
Huo Wan scratched her head, then turned to ask Wu Hen, "Wu Hen, what is the name of this fruit?"
"It seems to be called something like Mangosteen." Wu Hen thought about it and responded quickly.
"Oh, yes, it's called mangosteen!" Huo Wan nodded quickly and said to Yuan Ziyu, "Not only is this fruit strange in appearance, but its name is also so strange that I can't even remember it!"
"Mangji persimmon?" Yuan Ziyou blinked. "Just by hearing the name, I know it's not from our Dali Dynasty!"
"That's right!" Huo Wan said quickly, "Sister Wan, you don't know. When this fruit was first brought in, no one dared to eat it. It looked so strange. In the end, the vendor himself demonstrated it himself. When people saw that he was fine after eating it, they started buying it back one after another. Unexpectedly, the fruit tasted surprisingly good!"
"Oh?" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Then I'd like to try it carefully. Is this how you open it?"
As Yuan Ziyu spoke, he exerted a little force with his hands and the fruit shell was opened by Yuan Ziyu.
Inside the shell were pieces of snow-white flesh like orange slices, but Yuan Ziyu didn't control the strength well, and a lot of the red juice in the shell stained the flesh.
"Well, just break the shell open and eat the flesh inside!" Huo Wan said hurriedly. Seeing that Yuan Ziyu had already broken the mangosteen open, she hurriedly said, "Sister You, be careful when you break the shell. If the red juice gets on the flesh, it will affect the taste!"
"Oh, okay, then I'll be careful with the next one!" As he said that, Yuan Ziyu took a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth.
Sweet and sour, it tastes really good!
Yuan Ziyu raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and said to Huo Wan, "It tastes really good!"
"What do you think? Am I right?" Seeing Yuan Ziyu praising the mangosteen, Huo Wan raised her eyebrows with joy.
"Not bad!" Yuan Ziyou nodded: "Aunt Meng, do you like this fruit?"
"I like it!" Huo Wan said with a smile, "I brought back quite a few. Grandma and Daddy all like them, and so does my eldest brother. It's just a pity..."
Huo Wan sighed: "This fruit can't be grown in our Dali Dynasty."
“Has anyone planted it?”
"Yes!" Huo Wan said, "That's what the fruit vendor said. He had seen this fruit before and brought back seeds with him, hoping to grow it in our Dali Dynasty. Unfortunately, nothing grew in the end. Fortunately, he found the fruit's origin this time and brought back a lot. However, due to the long journey, ordinary people can't afford this fruit. That's the second biggest problem. I think the most regrettable thing is that such a delicious fruit can't be bought everywhere. If he doesn't bring the fruit back next year, we won't be able to eat it!"
Huo Wan frowned in distress as she spoke. She really liked this fruit very much!
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ziyou looked at the fruit and said, "I could try growing some on the farm."
"Really, Sister You, are you going to give it a try?" Huo Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Can it be grown?"
"I don't know!" Yuan Ziyou didn't promise: "You'll know after trying it. If it really grows, you'll have fruits to eat!"
"Ah, that's great!" Huo Wan was so happy that it seemed as if the fruit had already been planted: "Sister You, I'm relying on you!"
