He Huaixiu blushed and whispered, "I want to drink some water...it's too far, I can't reach it..."
Yao Wenyuan glanced at the kettle and teacup on the table.
"Let me help you go back first." Yao Wenyuan tried to support her, but seeing her jumping around, he simply picked her up and quickly put her on the bed.
"Okay, wait a moment." Yao Wenyuan moved the table to the side of He Huaixiu's bed.
"That's all. Don't move around. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. How long will it take you to recover like this?" Yao Wenyuan said, clapping his hands.
He Huaixiu's face couldn't be any redder. Yao Wenyuan reached out and touched He Huaixiu's forehead, then touched his own. "You don't have a fever, why is it so red?"
"I'm fine, I'm just bored." He Huaixiu said in a low voice.
The next day, Yi Yami came to check on He Heihu's progress and found that He Huaixiu was not there, so she asked, "Hey, uncle, where is my aunt?"
"Your aunt was delivering food and didn't pay attention to her feet, so she sprained her ankle. She's lying in the house now," said He Heihu.
He Heihu learned quickly and soon made several barrels of blueberry wine independently.
"Uncle, you do it first, I'll go see my aunt." Yi Yami took off her apron and walked towards He Huaixiu's room.
Seeing Yao Wenyuan delivering food to He Huaixiu, Yi Yami was puzzled. "Sir, County Magistrate, do we have to work when we come to my grandfather's house?"
She stood quietly at a distance and watched, and saw He Huaixiu staring at Yao Wenyuan with the blush on her face still fading.
The two people were talking, and Yi Yami tactfully did not interrupt them.
A few days later
Afuchi said the horses were on the way and he planned to return with the blueberry wine after paying.
Yao Wenyuan asked Gu Beijian to be the translator, while he himself sent Afuchi to Luguang Town. Yi Yami was also present.
Afuchi handed a letter to Yiyami, then hugged Yao Wenyuan and set off with his men.
Yi Yami opened the letter and read:
Shopkeeper Yi,
Hello! The food you cook is delicious. It's the best I've ever eaten since I was born. Without a doubt, if you go to the grasslands, you'll be the most amazing cook! Thank you for the meals you've prepared these days, and thank you and my brother Gu Beijian. By the way, the cheese-baked lamb shank I had before leaving last night was so delicious I wanted to go to heaven! By the way, next time if you have something good, you can also write to me. I'm willing to buy it. If Shopkeeper Yi can help negotiate a price, that would be great! Although County Magistrate Yao Wenyuan is a good official, I couldn't get any discounts from him, so I can only come to you in a roundabout way to ask for your help. I hope we can have better cooperation next time! Written by Gu Beijian.
Yi Yami smiled and said, "Why does he think I have the nerve to make Lord Yao give in?"
When Yao Wenyuan read the content of the letter, he couldn't help laughing.
Before leaving, Yao Wenyuan gave He Heihu some money, but He Heihu refused to take it. "What nonsense! You are the county magistrate. It is a great honor for you to live in our house. How can we ask the county magistrate to pay for it? Besides, I have treated you as my nephew for so many days. You often do housework for the family. Why should I pay you? It would be awkward for me to pay you."
Yao Wenyuan had no choice but to give up.
Yao Wenyuan also went to see He Huaixiu and couldn't help but tell her, "You, don't take yourself too seriously. You have to take good care of yourself, otherwise you will become a little cripple and you won't be able to get married."
He Huaixiu muttered, "If I can't get married, then I can't get married. If I don't marry the person I like, then I might as well not get married."
"What did you say?" Yao Wenyuan didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing. I told you to be careful on the road and drive slowly." He Huaixiu immediately changed his words.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself," said Yao Wenyuan.
Yao Wenyuan turned and left He Huaixiu's room.
He Huaixiu looked at his back and suddenly felt a little sad. After this farewell, he didn't know when they would meet again.
