An hour without ice was very long. Wen Ye felt like he had been reading the story for a long time, and then realized that only half of the time had passed.
At this time, Taozhi came in quietly and said, "Madam, Liuya just came to say that the young master and the young master were about to go to the west courtyard, but they were standing outside and not coming in. I wonder what they are doing."
Wen Ye looked away from the storybook, looked at her and asked: "How long have you been standing there?"
Taozhi replied: "I don't know about this."
Wen Ye closed the storybook, stood up and muttered: "What are these father and son doing again?" Anyway, she was bored, so Wen Ye looked out the window. It wasn't very sunny outside today, so she said: "Come on, let's go over and take a look." Outside the west courtyard, the father and son were still "confronting each other".
When Wen Ye came over, Xu Yuxuan was circling around Xu Yuejia, his head tilted, and no one knew what he was looking at.
Looking at Xu Yuejia with a puzzled look, Wen Ye realized that Xu Yuejia seemed to have something in her hand and was always avoiding Xu Yuxuan's sight.
Tired of turning, Xu Yuxuan stopped and snorted, "Father!"
He was really angry this time.
Wen Ye came over and asked, "What are you two doing here?" Nanny Ji and others saw her coming and hurriedly saluted.
Xu Yuejia turned around after hearing the voice, looked at the umbrella on Wen Ye's head, and said in silence for a while: "You are going out." Wen Ye denied: "No way, I'm here to welcome my husband and Xuan'er."
Tao Zhi, who was holding the handle of an umbrella, remembered what his wife said before she stepped out of the main hall, "Let's go and see what's going on," and silently lowered his eyes. While talking, Wen Ye caught a glimpse of Xu Yuxuan's angry face and asked the man, "Did you bully him?"
Xu Yuejia: “How do you know?”
Wen Ye pointed at the dwarf next to him and said, "If you didn't bully him, he wouldn't be so angry." Although this boy is young, he has a rare stable temperament and rarely acts like he does today.
When Xu Yuxuan saw Wen Ye, he hurried over and complained: "Mom, Dad hid the delicious cakes, and Xuan'er saw it all."
"It's delicious." Wen Ye heard this and then moved his eyes to the direction where Xu Yuejia was hiding her hand. He just happened to catch a glimpse of a corner of the oil paper bag that she hadn't hidden yet.
Looking at the mother and son's inquiring eyes, Xu Yuejiaton said, "Go back first."
The three of them returned to the west courtyard and dismissed the maids. Under the expectant gaze of the mother and son, Xu Yuejia placed the oil paper bag on the table.
Wen Ye then smelled the smell and said, "It's roast chicken.
!"
She said the pastry smelled like meat.
Xu Yuejia hummed lightly and said, "I bought one on the way back." Wen Ye opened the oil paper bag and took a look. It was cumin flavor, but it was already very good, she liked it.
"Thank you, my dear." Wen Ye hadn't eaten roast chicken for a long time.
Seeing her relaxed and smiling face, Xu Yuejia's lips curled up as well. After catching a glimpse of Xu Yuxuan's lecherous eyes, she added: "I wanted to hide it from him."
Wen Ye said indifferently: "He is so small, how much can he eat?"
Xu Yuxuan seemed to understand, and he had a portion of roast chicken, so he immediately snorted at Xu Yuejia to express his dissatisfaction with his previous behavior. Wen Ye pulled off one of the chicken wings and gave it to Xu Yuxuan, saying, "Eat it."
"Thank you, mother~" Xu Yuxuan took it happily and slowly nibbled the little bit of meat on it with his tiny teeth.
Wen Ye broke off a small piece of meat from the leg and fed it to Xu Yuejia, "My dear, you worked hard to buy it secretly, so have a taste of it." Xu Yuejia's eyes slowly moved from the small piece of chicken in front of her to her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Wen Ye met his eyes and thought: "Do you think it's dirty?"
I forgot this guy seems to have a slight obsession with cleanliness.
Before Xu Yuejia could speak, Xu Yuxuan came over, staring at the small piece of chicken with burning eyes and said, "Mother, Xuan'er doesn't mind.
The roast chicken is really delicious, even better than cakes.
Xu Yuejia glanced at her son and said calmly, "No." Then she ate the chicken that Wen Ye fed her in front of him, but the look she gave Wen Ye was deeper than before.
Xu Yuxuan suddenly felt disappointed and went back to chew the chicken wing in her hand. Wen Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave the remaining wing to Xuan'er." Xu Yuxuan had no time to speak, so she could only make a nasal "hmm" sound and nod. "Mother, just eat the chicken leg." Before she finished speaking, she broke off a leg of the roasted chicken.
She still prefers to eat chicken legs because they have more meat.
Wen Ye planned to eat half first and the remaining half after dinner.
She noticed that Xu Yuejia's eyes were always on the roasted chicken leg in her hand. After thinking for a moment, she reached into the oil paper bag, broke off a small piece, and tried to feed it to her.
Then, Xu Yuejia ate it.
Wen Ye immediately understood that for a man like him who was brought up as a son of a noble family and now has a successful career, it is inevitable that he has some baggage.
If Xu Yuejia really learned how to chew chicken legs with her bare hands,
It's horrifying. Since he bought himself a roast chicken, it doesn't hurt to feed him a few more bites.
But Wen Ye thought more about it, and it turned out that no one could escape the temptation of delicious food. The three of them shared most of the chicken, and Wen Ye kept a small part including another chicken leg.
The whole house was filled with the aroma of roasted chicken. After eating and drinking, Wen Ye said to Xu Yuxuan: "Xuan'er, if your aunt asks, you can say that your father bought some delicious cakes. Do you know..."
Xu Yuxuan was puzzled: "Why?"
Wen Ye bent down slightly to explain: "Because if my aunt knew, Xuan'er would never be able to eat it again in the future." Xu Yuxuan shook her head repeatedly, covered her mouth and said: "Xuan'er, don't tell me!"
After solving the small one, Wen Ye looked at the big one and said with a gentle smile: "My dear, the same is true." Xu Yuejia was silent for a while, and said: "So, this is what you mean." Wen Ye did not want to hide it, "This is called effective bribery."
Of course she couldn't eat alone at a time like this. Only by getting everyone involved could she ensure that the news of her eating roast chicken would not reach Mrs. Lu.
It would have been good if Xu Yuxuan hadn't run into him. But since he had, there was no need to hide it any longer. Bribing a kid with two chicken wings was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.
"But I still want to thank you for the roast chicken you brought back," Wen Ye said at last.
Xu Yuejia reiterated: "It's just a coincidence."
Wen Ye hummed twice and said, "I understand. It's definitely not you who wants to eat it."
Xu Yuejia: "......"
At dinner, Wen Ye gave some of the remaining roast chicken to Xu Yuxuan and Xu Yuejia as usual, and the rest belonged to her.
But they all ate behind the servants' backs. Fortunately, Wen Ye didn't like having anyone around him when he ate, and Xu Yuejia was even more of an exception. To him, the only role of the maidservants beside him was probably to serve him tea.
Wen Ye had never seen the arrogance that was common among the sons of the Shengjing family in him. And Xu Yuxuan could now eat by himself without Nanny Ji's help in feeding him.
★
Recently, Wen Ye always dreams of a snail girl, who not only helps her clean the house, but also sleeps with her and has a cooling effect.
Every time Wen Ye woke up, she wondered if the snail girl's business had expanded to include sleeping with men.
It is said that if you think about something during the day, you will dream about it at night. Wen Ye came out of the shower and looked at Xu Yuejia lying on the bed. He thought to himself, the snail girl is fake, but the man is real.
Wen Ye turned around and went back.
When she came out again, she had an ink-colored ribbon on her hand. She walked over quietly and said, "My dear."
Xu Yuejia looked up at the voice and saw what she was holding. Without Wen Ye's reminder, she put down the book. She said with an unclear expression: "This is also a bribe." Wen Ye shook her head: "I just want you to try the new ribbon." I can't tear his pajamas like I did last time when I apologized. Besides, the ink color seems to suit him better.
Everything happened naturally after Wen Ye blindfolded Xu Yuejia with a ribbon.
There was only darkness before my eyes, and my senses were magnified infinitely. The heat wave was rolling, more violent than ever before.
Wen Ye was awakened by the heat. When she woke up, she found that there was a man's arm in her arms. Fortunately, she looked up and found that the man was Xu Yuejia. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally woke up" Xu Yuejia woke up much earlier than Wen Ye, but she didn't get up yet.
Wen Ye quickly released his arm, yawned, sat up, and asked him: "My dear, do you not have to go to work this morning?" The restraints were released, and Xu Yuejia stood up: "Yes."
Wen Ye: "Then what..."
Xu Yuejia turned to look at her: "You have been holding me."
Wen Ye didn't think it was her fault. She said, "My hands are only so strong. I don't believe you can't get away." No wonder she said the snail girl in her dream last night became hot. It turned out that she hugged the wrong person. Xu Yuejia tidied up the loose belt of her pajamas and said slowly, "It seems that you don't know yourself thoroughly."
The man's words have hidden meanings.
Wen Ye looked at the way he tied the rope and said, "This was an accident. I didn't expect it was my husband."
Xu Yuejia paused in her dressing when she heard her words, and looked at her again, her eyes deepening as she asked, "Who do you think it is?" "The snail girl," Wen Ye blurted out, and then explained, "I've been having dreams lately, and there's a snail girl in my dreams. I thought I was holding
She. "
This time the snail girl came back. Although she had forgotten her exact appearance, it was clear that she must be very pretty. So Wen Ye added: "She is still a great beauty."
Xu Yuejia paused, continued to get dressed, and asked casually: "What did you do in your dream?" Wen Ye also got out of bed. It was so hot in the morning, and she couldn't take a nap.
At the same time, he replied: "I didn't do anything. She fanned me and I was grateful to her so I wanted to give her a hug." But he gave the hug to the wrong person.
"How can you be sure that the thing you dreamed about was the snail girl?
mother"
"Of course it's because she helped me tidy up my clothes without saying a word, and left as soon as she was done." After Wen Ye said this, he realized that this statement seemed a bit ambiguous.
Xu Yuejia: "......"
No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a description of Xu Yuejia.
Wen Ye secretly said in his heart: "It's all a dream, dreams are all fake." There is no such thing as a snail girl, let alone a great beauty.
As soon as she said it was a lie, she started to wonder again: "My dear, what does this dream mean? Is it a prophecy?" For example, it means that Lu will allow her to use ice today.
Xu Yuejia put on his official robes, and his expression was unclear. Wen Ye sighed.
Just then there was a knock on the door. It was Yunzhi's voice. Wen Ye asked her to come in.
After Yunzhi came in, she bowed to Xu Yuejia first, then walked towards Wen Ye and said respectfully: "Madam, Qingxue from the main courtyard came to ask Madam Guogong's wife if you want to go to Xiquan Mountain to escape the summer heat tomorrow."
Xiquan Mountain is not far away and can be reached in half a day.
Wen Ye remembered that Mrs. Lu had mentioned that her dowry included a manor with a garden near Xiquan Mountain. The manor was surrounded by mountain springs on three sides and was a good summer resort.
Wen Ye responded decisively: "Go!"
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she couldn't stay in a room without ice. After getting the answer, Yunzhi turned around and left the room to reply. Wen Ye looked at the silent Xu Yuejia, and said cheerfully, "I said she was a great beauty."
