He shook his head and smiled. This girl was so cheerful that there was probably no one else like her in the whole mansion. It was only because Aunt Yao had a good temper and was willing to tolerate her.
Yao Susu had been delivering things for the past few days, and on this day she saw signs of Xu Zekun loosening up, so she planned to press the advantage, after all, the day when Xu Zekun would come to "Yingxue Pavilion" was about to come.
Now not only has she figured out the pattern of Xu Zekun's visits to Yingxue Pavilion, but almost everyone in the mansion has figured it out, and they keep an eye on him every time this day comes.
If Xu Zekun doesn't show up on time, it will be a joke.
Looking at the "egg yolk cakes" she had carefully prepared, Yao Susu felt confident.
The cake is actually very easy to make, but it takes time to beat the egg whites, and you need to build an oven yourself with bricks and mud.
Now she has some face with the maid in the kitchen, but she still had to give some silver to get it built.

Yao Susu brought freshly made egg yolk cake, wore new clothes, and went to Linfengju in a graceful manner.
As expected, he was stopped at the door by Xu Zekun's maid Banxia. Banxia was a serious person like her master, but she didn't say anything unpleasant.
Xu Zekun doesn't like the maids around him to be arrogant, so they are all low-key.
"Aunt Yao, the master has guests today and cannot see you."
Yao Susu grimaced. How could this be such a coincidence? She gestured to Yuzhan beside her. Yuzhan smiled and stepped forward, handing Banxia a purse. She said, "Sister Banxia, could you please be flexible and go in to tell Master a message?"
Banxia's face darkened as she quickly refused. Then, she curled her lips and said, "Auntie, please don't embarrass me. Master has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb me."
She glanced at the tray in Yuping's hand. Knowing that Aunt Yao had been sending things to Linfeng Residence these days, she said, "Why don't you give me the things and I'll take them in for you?"

Xu Zekun did have a guest here, and that was Zhou Ziyi, the third son of the Shangshu Mansion.
Zhou Ziyi admired Xu Zekun very much in his heart. When he heard that he had the possibility to join his military camp for training, he was extremely happy.
Since her son was happy, the Shangshu's wife was naturally happy too. She thanked her daughter-in-law profusely, prepared generous gifts, and asked Zhou Ziyi to visit the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Since Xu Zekun had promised his sister, he also made time.
The first time he saw Zhou Ziyi, he began to have doubts in his heart.
He looked too young, wearing a moon-white round-necked brocade robe. His skin was extremely white and his skin was delicate and tender. Although he was not short, he was a little thin and not very strong.
Fortunately, Zhou Ziyi is very polite and humbly asks for advice from Xu Zekun. When he smiles, a pair of fangs are exposed. Although he is seventeen years old, he still looks childish, which makes it difficult for people to be hard-hearted.
Xu Zekun tested his skills and nodded secretly, thinking that he was not hopeless.
Although Zhou Ziyi has been studying, he likes martial arts and usually practices swordplay and knife skills. Xu Zekun observed that although his posture is not very good, he still has strength and concentration.
He is a promising talent for learning martial arts. Since he has good physical fitness, the next step is to see his character. We have to throw him into the military camp and see what happens.
Zhou Ziyi performed at Ningyuan Marquis Mansion for half a day, but he didn't know whether he had passed the test or not. Xu Zekun's expression was so gloomy that Zhou Ziyi was frightened just looking at him. His second sister-in-law was obviously very cheerful and generous, but why was her eldest brother not the same at all?
My stomach is rumbling, and I don’t know whether to go back home for dinner or eat at Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
Zhou Ziyi is here, but his soul has already drifted away to who knows where.
Xu Zekun also noticed that Zhou Ziyi was a little tired, so he stood up and said, "Let's stop here today. My mother has prepared a light meal. Mr. Zhou, please come with me to the main hall."
After all, guests are here to stay, and Zhou Ziyi even brought gifts, so there is no reason to let them leave with an empty stomach.
Zhou Ziyi was delighted when he heard this, at least he could eat.
Xu Zekun took Zhou Ziyi to Shou'an Hall, but when they reached the door, they suddenly stopped.
Seeing Xu Zekun's strange expression, Zhou Ziyi couldn't help but look up, and was stunned when he saw him.
I saw a woman in a snow-blue dress embroidered with broken crabapple branches standing next to the screen wall at the door, with a maid following beside her. From the side, her face was like a lotus, her waist was slender, her skin was fair, and she was like a willow swaying in the wind, and a lotus with dewdrops dripping on it.
Even though Zhou Ziyi had seen many beauties, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
Xu Zekun's face turned dark. Why was Yao Susu here?
Seeing Zhou Ziyi's slightly obsessed eyes, he became even more furious!
He coughed against his lips, and Zhou Ziyi seemed to come back to his senses. His face immediately turned red, and he looked away, not daring to look at him again.
After all, he is too young and not as steady as Xu Zekun.
Yao Susu saw Xu Zekun coming out, smiled, and walked towards him gracefully, calling out in a clear and sweet voice, "Master."
Just now, she declined Banxia's suggestion and waited here for a long time just to see Xu Zekun with her own eyes.
I sent her something a few days ago. Even if she sent a flower today, it wouldn't have a better effect than the previous days. I still have to meet her and make her presence felt.
I didn't expect that Xu Zekun actually had a guest.
Her eyes caught sight of Zhou Ziyi beside her, but only for a fleeting moment, her eyes full of Xu Zekun.
He approached, bowed, and said softly, "Greetings, sir."
"Why are you here?"
Yao Susu bit her lip and said, "I made some snacks and wanted to send them to you to try."
She raised her head and glanced at Xu Zekun timidly, as if she had just discovered Zhou Ziyi, and asked, "Who is this?"
Xu Zekun exhaled and introduced in a deep voice, "This is the third young master of the Shangshu Mansion."
Then he said to Zhou Ziyi, "This is my concubine, Aunt Yao."
Although I know that this woman treats Xu Zekun so intimately, she must be Xu Zekun's roommate.
But Zhou Ziyi was inevitably a little disappointed.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. He had always liked the delicate and graceful beauties from the south of the Yangtze River. The first time he saw Yao Susu, he felt that she met all his imaginations.
But Luofu already had a husband.
A soft and pleasant voice sounded in my ears: "Greetings, Master Zhou."
Zhou Ziyi suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, but his face was still a little red when he looked up.
For some reason, Xu Zekun felt very unhappy when he thought of Zhou Ziyi's infatuated look just now. Although he only showed it for a moment, he now withdrew his gaze.
But he still wanted to take Zhou Ziyi away quickly.
"I'm going to take Master Zhou to Shou'an Hall for dinner. You should go back to Yingxue Pavilion first."
Yao Susu had waited for so long and didn't want to go back like this. With a gleam in her eyes, she asked reluctantly, "I brought some egg yolk cake. Would you mind giving it to me, Master and Master Zhou, to try some?"
Xu Zekun showed impatience. What egg yolk cake and egg white cake? Looking at the clear eyes of this woman, why did she seem not to understand what he was saying?
Just as he was about to say it again, Zhou Ziyi's throat rolled over uncontrollably and he asked, "What is egg yolk cake?"
He was already hungry, and there was a sweet smell coming from his nose. After hearing what Yao Susu said, he asked the question for some unknown reason.
