Chapter 305 Mr. Zhao’s Favor
When Su Mo arrived, she saw Zhao Xuan, a grown man, making a fire and cooking.
"Master Zhao..."
"Miss Su, please take care of my wife for a few days."
Zhao Xuan still had things to deal with after the flood, so he definitely couldn't stay at home to take care of Gao Wanxin. He didn't have any suitable candidates at this time. The two people who had been with Gao Wanxin before, their wives fell ill and died, and the little maid injured her leg and was taken away by her family.
When Zhao Xuan found Gao Wanxin, she was out with her child, looking for something to eat.
"You are too polite, sir. I will do this. You, as a man, cannot do this."
Zhao Xuan nodded. He entered the room just to talk to Gao Wanxin when he heard the servant outside the door calling him. Several officials in Jiangcheng were arguing again over governance issues.
It's a headache.
As for whether Zhao Xuan had eaten breakfast, that was not something Su Mo was worried about.
She boiled the medicine on the stove and cooked some porridge. During this time, Gao Wanxin had already fed the child.
The little guy was not asleep and had his eyes open, but he was no longer crying.
She stood up and was about to go out, just in time to see Su Mo coming in.
"Madam, are you awake? I just made some medicine. You can take it first and have some porridge later. Lord Zhao is busy outside, and things are not easy."
Gao Wanxin chuckled at Su Mo.
"I heard everything you said just now. Thank you for your help, Miss Su. You can go back when I feel better. I know you, a kind-hearted person from Kyoto. You brought a lot of food and medicinal herbs to the people of Jiangcheng, and everyone is very grateful to you."
Such a powerful woman is now by her side taking care of her.
This made Gao Wanxin feel very stressed.
"You're welcome."
Gao Wanxin took the medicine. Gu Heng's medical skills were indeed very good. After taking the medicine, Gao Wanxin's chills disappeared and her body became warm.
Su Mo still stayed to take care of Gao Wanxin.
She was about to fall ill and couldn't take care of the child at all. Su Mo looked at the little boy and thought he was quite cute. Most importantly, the child was quiet and easy to take care of, so Su Mo didn't think it was troublesome.
In this way, she came early and left late, helping Gao Wanxin take care of the child for three days.
Gao Wanxin was very grateful.
For some reason, she felt that Su Mo was a very kind person, and she and Zhao Xuan seemed to be able to chat better.
Three days later, Gao Wanxin's health gradually improved, but she still had a little cough, and would cough a few times when she was cold or hot. However, she had regained her strength and could do more things.
Can take care of children and cook.
Su Mo's cooking skills are pretty good, but compared to Su Mo, they are still a little bit lacking.
Zhao Xuan also likes the barbecue made by Su Mo.
Gao Wanxin brought another pot of wine and added some tea.
The two people who were talking stopped.
Su Mo looked at Gao Wanxin and said softly, "Miss Wanxin, please sit down and have something to eat. This barbecue tastes quite good."
"I can't. You guys eat." Gao Wanxin chuckled.
She had never sat down to eat with a man so freely and unrestrainedly.
She didn't mean that Su Mo's behavior was bad, but she felt that Su Mo's behavior was really enviable, at least she was envious.
"Actually, there aren't so many rules. Isn't it nice to sit down, eat barbecue, drink some wine, and enjoy the evening breeze?"
Su Mo said with a chuckle.
Maybe she drank a little too much and was a little drunk, so she just let out her temper.
Zhao Xuan glanced at Gao Wanxin and asked, "Is Yi'er asleep?"
"Yeah, I'm asleep."
"Sit down and eat something. You've had a busy day."
Gao Wanxin originally wanted to refuse because her throat was indeed uncomfortable and she was still coughing. She didn't want to eat such greasy barbecue. Su Mo seemed to like spicy food very much and sprinkled a lot of chili powder on the barbecue, but she didn't like spicy food, especially now that her throat was in a special period.
But Zhao Xuan spoke.
If she didn't sit down, it would seem that she was being too disrespectful.
Gao Wanxin then nodded slightly and sat on the small stool next to Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan patiently said to Gao Wanxin, "Most of what Miss Su said are measures to control the flood in Jiangcheng. They are more beneficial to Jiangcheng."
He wanted to say that they didn't talk about any personal topics.
Gao Wanxin just hummed softly.
Zhao Xuan took the skewers and handed them to Gao Wanxin, "Try it."
Gao Wanxin hesitated, looking at the red chili powder on the skewers.
Su Mo looked at Gao Wanxin with a smile in her eyes. "Miss Wanxin, you don't want to eat it, is it because you don't like it? In fact, barbecue is very popular where I grew up. Every summer, many people get together to eat barbecue, drink wine, sing songs, and dance..."
Gao Wanxin glanced at Su Mo.
"I heard from Maidong that the people in Mobei are open-minded and it's quite good."
Gao Wanxin thought Su Mo was from Mobei. She was from Mobei, and she said this now because she missed home and Mobei.
What Su Mo was talking about was her modern home.
She smiled and continued drinking.
Gao Wanxin ate barbecue and drank a few sips of wine, but she choked after finishing the drink. Zhao Xuan then drank up the wine in her glass.
It seems that the time is almost up.
Zhao Xuan arranged a carriage and sent someone to send Su Mo back.
Zhao Xuan drank some wine, but was not drunk. Gao Wanxin went to get some water to help him wash, but she kept coughing.
Hearing the cough, Zhao Xuan went back to the room, glanced at his youngest son, and then walked out the door.
There were two guards standing outside the gate of the yard, but there was no one else in the yard, so many things had to be done by them personally. Zhao Xuan was used to ordering people around, so usually Gao Wanxin would serve Zhao Xuan.
"Why are you coughing so badly?"
Seeing her coughing and gasping for breath, Zhao Xuan was quite worried.
Gao Wanxin said, "It will be fine soon."
"Sir, please wash up and go to bed first, cough cough cough." Before she finished speaking, she started coughing again.
Zhao Xuan frowned even tighter. "Let Gu Heng come and take another look at you tomorrow. It's not good to keep coughing like this."
"Well, my lord, you should rest first. I will sleep later and be careful not to wake you up."
Zhao Xuan: "What are you talking about? Do we need to do this between you and me? Gao Wanxin, have you always looked down on me? Do you think I'm old enough to be your father?"
Gao Wanxin: ...You already know the answer, do you really need me to tell you?
But she still said duplicity: "No, sir, you are overthinking it."
"We'll sleep together tonight."
She could figure out what this meant just by moving her toes.
Gao Wanxin wanted to say, I'm still coughing and can't bring you water.
But when she looked back, Zhao Xuan had already carried her son from the big bed inside to the small bed outside, so she had to wash up quickly.
