Chapter 172
172
Yuanbao did not let Yang Shiming move in directly, but Yang Shiming also learned from Shao Hui and often went to Yuanbao's house for dinner. He did not ask Yuanbao to cook, but brought some food every time he came, and sometimes he even cooked by himself.
"How can I ask you, a high-ranking official, to cook for me? Besides, don't you scholars always say that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you if it gets out?" Yuanbao did give him the opportunity to contact himself, but he never thought that he would be so nice to himself.
Ever since his parents and grandparents passed away, he has been taking care of himself. Later, when stray dogs appeared, he had to take care of a child at the same time. His fourth brother was very good at taking care of him, but he was always silent and he couldn't cook.
Yang Shiming came over to cook for him, and he watched from the side. Yang Shiming would also tell him how to process the ingredients and how to make them delicious, and he did it in a very clear and logical way.
"When I was a child, I often helped my mother cook, and I can cook a few dishes. Now I'm an official, and my skills are not so good. You can try it later to see if it tastes good." Yang Shiming had secretly read recipes for a while before coming here, otherwise the home-cooked dishes he made in the countryside during those years would not be good enough.
If he wants to pursue someone, he must pursue her seriously.
Before, he was always afraid that his over-enthusiasm would annoy Yuanbao. Later, Cheng Yeran woke him up and told him that it was not enough to just like someone in your heart. You have to show it and make Yuanbao

The other party sees and knows.
Yuan Bao was amazed. "You are too good. You can cook both in the living room and in the kitchen. I can't do that. I used to be able to cook some meals, but I was just doing it half-heartedly. I haven't cooked for a long time, and I have forgotten how to light a fire or cut vegetables."
"It's okay, as long as I remember it. I'll cook it for you later." While speaking, Yang Shiming prepared another dish.
He used to kill fish for a while. People who bought fish would always tell him some methods of cooking fish. He memorized them, and now fish is also his best dish.
"I'll give you a gift." Yuan Bao took out a box from his arms and handed it to Yang Shiming. "My cousin said before that you don't like to receive gifts from others. I have never given you one, but you can't refuse it this time. If you refuse it, it means you treat me as someone else."
Yang Shiming wiped his hands and took the box he handed over, which contained a bottle of perfume.
"This is a new product, a men's perfume, specially made for you, with a tea scent. Do you like it?" Yuanbao urged him to spray it quickly so that he could serve the food.
Yang Shiming saw him busying around and asked, "Why don't you hire a few more people?"
"It costs money to hire people, and then you have to take care of their food and drink. It's better to do it myself. I can serve meals and wash clothes anyway." Yuanbao just didn't want to clean, so he hired someone to clean and cook, and he did the rest himself.
Yang Shiming had never seen this nozzle before and didn't know how to use it.
Yuanbao taught him how to use it. "This spray head was given to me by my cousin. He gave me a box and asked me to insert it directly into the bottle. I don't know how he did it."
Yuanbao thought that if his cousin could make glass out of sand, then it would not be surprising if he could make anything out of it.
In fact, Cheng Yeran was lazy and bought these nozzles directly online. When outsiders asked about them, he said they were made of Yuanbao, saying that they were made of the same raw material as glass, and he was not afraid of being exposed.
Previously, the seasonings for their noodle shop were purchased online. They have opened dozens of branches, and no one has noticed that the seasonings for their noodle shop are of unknown origin, so he just bought them directly.
It was good enough that he was able to research glass, but he really couldn't make plastic.
The next day, when Yang Shiming went to work, he sprayed the perfume given by Yuanbao. Although his relationship with Yuanbao could not be made public, he still wanted to show it off secretly.
Wherever he went that day, his subordinates and colleagues would look at him deliberately but dared not say anything.
Yang Shiming automatically interpreted their gazes as them smelling the perfume on his body. He waited for someone to ask him what the smell was. He would then say that it was specially made for him by Yuanbao and was not sold on the market.
However, he would not reveal his relationship with Yuanbao, only saying that they were just friends.
But after waiting for a whole day, no one came to ask him. After he was fired, Cheng Yeran asked him to go for a drink. Although they said they were going to drink, they actually only drank a few times. The rest of the time they just ate and didn't drink.
The place they went to was still the same tavern. That tavern had some good dishes, and Cheng Yeran would occasionally go there to change his taste.
Today, the two of them arrived at the tavern, and Cheng Yeran showed the same look as the others today. Yang Shiming thought that even if the others didn't ask him, Cheng Yeran would always ask.
As a result, Cheng Yeran opened his mouth and said, "You knocked over a pot of tea? Why is there such a strong smell of tea?"
Yang Shiming: "..."
"Did I call you too hastily? You didn't even have time to go home and change your clothes? It's my fault, it's my fault." Cheng Yeran saw that Yang Shiming's face was becoming more and more strange. "Did someone deliberately pour tea on you?"
Yang Shiming shook his head and took out a bottle of perfume from his arms. The perfume inside was the same color as tea. "Yuanbao specially made this perfume for me."
"Ah!" Cheng Yeran understood. This serious man had finally tried to secretly show his affection, but ended up ruining it himself. "Wow, I'm so envious. Yuanbao must love you very much, otherwise how could he specially make perfume for you? He has never made one for me before."
Although his tone was exaggerated, Yang Shiming was still very happy to hear this.
"It's just a return gift. I'm cooking for you as a return gift." Yang Shiming showed off secretly again. What he meant was that he cooked for Yuanbao, and Yuanbao liked it very much, so he made him perfume as a return gift.
"I know you are in a sweet relationship. When I first started dating, I also liked to share things between me and my husband with others." Cheng Yeran felt sweet in her heart when she thought of her husband.
"Gang?" A few days ago, Yang Shiming heard Cheng Yeran bragging about the meals Shen Yuntang made for him, or a caring word, or the clothes she made for him. Every time they met, he could hear Cheng Yeran bragging about her husband.
"My husband is so good, it's not wrong to show off all the time." Cheng Yeran couldn't help but praise her husband again, and then she thought of the important business today, "His Majesty asked me to be the enlightenment teacher of the Fourth Prince in a while, and also asked me to bring Xingxing over. Xingxing hasn't been officially named yet, so you can give him a name."
It is easy for Cheng Yeran to name other people's children, but when it comes to naming his own child, he has to choose this or that. After struggling for a while, Shen Yuntang suggested that it would be better to ask Yang Shiming to help him choose a name.
They are friends, and Yang Shiming will never have his own children in this life, nor can he understand the trouble of naming a child. Cheng Yeran simply threw this sweet trouble to him, letting him experience the feeling of naming a child, and also wanted Yang Shiming to be Xingxing's godfather.
I originally wanted Yang Shiming to be the teacher, but now I have become the child's teacher, so I decided to let Yang Shiming be the godfather. A godfather is also a father and can teach the child wholeheartedly.
"Be the Fourth Prince's teacher?" Yang Shiming heard that the Emperor liked the Fourth Prince very much. Previously, something happened to the Fourth Prince's mother. It was said that she poisoned the Fifth Prince. Later it was discovered that the Fifth Prince's mother directed and acted it out herself.
The fifth prince's mother knew that the child was a boy, and the emperor had neglected her during that time, so she thought of using this method to win favor. She poisoned the child herself and framed the fourth prince's mother. In the end, the emperor found out the results and sent her to the cold palace. The fifth prince also fell ill and his mother was not around. It is estimated that he will become another eldest prince in the future, and may even be worse off than the eldest prince.
Royal affairs are very complicated, and he is afraid that Cheng Yeran will be involved in the princes' factional struggles and get into trouble.
