Chapter 519: The longing is getting hot.
After Wei Zhao left, Yu Tingwan would receive family letters from Shangjing from Tan Jiang every half a month.
Each letter was very thick.
It was written in the letter.
- "Passing by the pastry shop in the west of the city, I couldn't help but think of the sticky rice cakes you ate behind my back. You cherish food and don't want to spit it out. When I saw it, you panicked and covered your mouth with your sleeves."
Yu Tingwan was annoyed when she saw this.
What do you mean by eating secretly?
The glutinous rice cakes were clearly bought by her with her monthly salary.
As for covering your mouth, how can you have the nerve to mention it.
It was because she heard the tea being spilled in the house that she mistakenly thought that Wei Zhao was in trouble. In a hurry, she stuffed the remaining half of the glutinous rice cake in her hand into her mouth. It was so bulging that she could hardly cover it, so she ran into the house in a hurry.
Yu Tingwan saw Wei Zhao standing aside dejectedly. He was fine, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground. She breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the fragments on the ground while chewing hard.
She was very tired from eating and her cheeks were sore.
The girl frowned and put the tip of her tongue against her palate, trying to secretly peck the sticky rice ball, but the more
she pecked, the stickier it became. She was in a panic for a while, and she could only use her lips and tongue.
She was so anxious that sweat started to seep out of her nose. Wei Zhao, who was usually listless and didn't bother to talk, was annoyed by her urging her to take medicine all day long, but he couldn't help but look at her expressionlessly for a while
when he saw her so funny. It was like watching a monkey.
Yu Tingwan was in a mess.
Halfway through cleaning up, she stopped her movements and sighed helplessly with a nasal tone.
Wei Zhao couldn't help it.
"Ha."
Yu Tingwan knew he was laughing at himself.
She ignored him, carefully swept up all the broken porcelain pieces, and wiped the floor with cotton cloth.
When Yu Tingwan finished cleaning up, in the blink of an eye, the man who was supposed to be standing behind him disappeared.
Did he sneak out again?
The last time the young master went out, he tripped over a stone and fell.
After falling, she had no intention of getting up. I don't know if it was because she had no strength or she didn't mind being embarrassed.
In the end, Fu Meng brought it back.
She was so scared that she hurried out to look for it.
The young master didn't go out, but stood in the yard. He looked down at the glutinous rice cake on the stone table listlessly. He
was looking at it.
Maybe he had never seen it before?
He raised his hand to pick up a piece and took a bite. It tasted bad, and the texture was even rough. I don't know why the little maid enjoyed it so much.
"Young master!"
Yu Tingwan ran over.
"You can't eat it."
Wei Zhao wanted to throw it away.
But when he heard this, he turned against himself and ate the whole piece in front of Yu Tingwan.
There was no provocation on his face.
But his actions were all provocative.
Yu Tingwan:?
If it was medicine, she would shout that the young master couldn't drink it. She was sure that Wei Zhao would turn around and throw the bowl away obediently.
Yu Tingwan frowned and said, "That was bought by the servant outside."
It's not made at home, what if it's not clean.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Yu Tingwan said, "Don't contradict me."
"This is not easy to digest. You are not in good health. What if you have a stomachache later?"
Wei Zhao thought she was noisy.
He was weak.
"You talk too much."
Yu Tingwan: "But did you listen?"
Wei Zhao heard this and unexpectedly looked into Yu Tingwan's eyes.
"I don't like outsiders to control me."
Yu Tingwan knew that he was unhappy.
Every time Wei Zhao was unhappy, County Magistrate Xiao and Ge Lao would try different ways to coax him.
The girl thought about it, softened her voice, and spoke to him kindly: "I am doing this for your good, and because you care so much about me, I am always around you, and I can only have you in my eyes. Really, you are the first man who makes me worry so much that I dream about him at night, you have to... get used to it."
This is true.
It comes from the heart.
But in Wei Zhao's eyes, it is a bunch of twisted logic!
He picked up the second piece.
Yu Tingwan: "This is quite expensive."
She whispered: "It cost me six cents for a bag, and I can't bear to eat it myself."
Yu Tingwan was very anxious: "Give it back to me, sir."
"I will ask the kitchen to make something suitable for you."
Wei Zhao didn't know if he heard all these words.
Under Yu Tingwan's gaze, he put down the piece of cake, and openly took the paper bag of glutinous rice cakes into his arms, like a robber, but walked back to the house with a heavy head.
And then...
it was indeed indigestion.
That night, his face turned pale with pain.
He was scolded by Ge Lao angrily.
"Are you sick? Are you just greedy? That girl finally bought some cakes, but you snatched them away just because you liked them?"
"Do you want to piss her off, or me?"
Wei Zhao was listless, with a strong sense of brokenness.
He tried to cover his ears.
Ge Lao pried his hands open again. Then he started to give him a long lecture.
He was really outrageous.
Outside the house, Yu Tingwan rubbed the corners of his clothes nervously: "Xiao County Magistrate, it's my fault. I shouldn't be greedy."
"What does it have to do with you?"
Xiao Huaiyan came in a hurry after receiving the news. He pressed his eyebrows, didn't rush in, and didn't vent his anger.
"He..."
Xiao Huaiyan was really upset, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to.
Especially seeing Wei Zhao's lifeless appearance all day long, he felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.
"When I first went to the Imperial College for enlightenment, I opened a glutinous rice cake shop in Beijing. The business was very prosperous and the taste was quite good."
"At that time, the students around me went home from school every day. In addition to servants, there were also occasional parents who picked them up and dropped them off. They often got a glutinous rice cake as a reward from them."
Xiao Huaiyan: "But he never had it."
"Guizhi doesn't like sweets. His... mother is quite strict about food."
Yu Tingwan was puzzled.
"Why?"
"He is a child of the Wei family. He shouldn't show his joy on his face. If the chopsticks stop for a moment too long, it will be a flaw. It is still elegant to eat 70% full, but greed is giving others a handle."
"His father is gone, and the relationship between him and his mother... I'm afraid he was moved by the scene."
Xiao Huaiyan also knew that he had said too much. He sighed and walked into the house.
But he knew better than anyone that not liking to eat and not being able to get it are difficult to balance the scales. Wei Zhao, that bastard, must have been looking forward to it when he was young.
As soon as he entered the house, Yu Tingwan followed him in.
Wei Zhao was lying on the couch, his eyes were dull to begin with, and now they were even more lifeless, until he saw the girl's red eyes.
"Isn't it just that I ate a few bites of your dessert?"
Wei Zhao didn't understand: "Don't cry, I'll pay you back later."
It's been so long since the incident happened, so long that Yu Tingwan almost forgot about it.
But Wei Zhao mentioned it again in the letter.
——"There is a glutinous rice cake shop in Shangjing that does very well. When I passed by, I couldn't help but think of you and couldn't help but buy some. But after buying it, I thought it was not suitable to store it, so I couldn't send it to you, but... I will take you to buy it when you come in the future."
He also said in the letter.
——"I've been busy these days and have a rare leisure time. The crabapple in the courtyard has bloomed without me noticing."
He never mentioned the affairs of the court or his situation. In and out
of the letter, it was all about his daily trivialities, and... missing.
——"The pair of pearl earrings you lost to me in the last bet, I keep them in my arms every day. They are getting hot from being held."
