Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 31 Yu Hanzhao

Xie Zhiyun had a simple lunch at noon.

I don't know if it's because she took care of the house, or because Yezhou's products have been abundant in the past few months. In short, the food is getting more and more abundant every day.

Today, there is a white-cut chicken that Xie Zhijun likes to eat very much. The chicken looks like the most tender three-yellow chicken. It is cut into thin slices and dipped in the sauce.

In addition, there is a dish of steamed sea bass.

With these two dishes, Xie Zhijun ate half a bowl of rice, and then drank another bowl of soup, feeling very satisfied.

Wei Ji was not at home, so Nanny Jia, Zhao Yu and Mu Yun had dinner with her, and the table was more lively.

"Today's dishes are really good," Jia Nanny said with a smile, "no wonder Miss used more rice."

Xie Zhiyun smiled and said: "The cook in the small kitchen has received some advice, and the craftsmanship is indeed getting better."

After a few people talked for a while, another little maid came outside.

She was wearing a light blue beige, and she could tell she was a kitchen helper.

"Sister Zhaoyu, this is a snack for the young lady from the small kitchen, let the young lady eat it with tea in the afternoon."

Zhao Yu thanked her and gave her another fruit before returning with a food box.

Xie Zhiyun was even more surprised: "The small kitchen has opened up, it's really amazing."

When the food box was opened, there was a plate of hibiscus cakes, a plate of tuckahoe cakes, a plate of red bean cakes and a plate of mung bean cakes. The styles were all unique and different from the traditional kitchen craftsmanship.

Seeing these snacks, Xie Zhiyun stopped joking. She thought about it, and said to Zhao Yu, "Let someone ask, is there any change in the small kitchen?"

Zhao Yu responded, "Yes."

Xie Zhiyun was not hungry just after lunch, so he only tasted a piece of mung bean cake and rested.

When she woke up again, it was past the end of time.

Xie Zhiyun got up and dressed herself, and chose a plain and dignified azure long beige with makeup and a brocade pleated skirt underneath. When she stood in front of the makeup mirror, she immediately had the air of the young lady of the Duke's Mansion.

Mu Yun combed her a peony bun, and on the bun she wore a pearl plum flower hairpin and a pair of tourmaline hairpins, which set off her delicate features, making her dignified and elegant.

Xie Zhiyun looked left and then again, nodded with satisfaction, she took the lip balm herself, put some lightly on her lips, and then gave up.

After she finished dressing up, Zhao Yu took the cloak and put it on her body: "The carriage is ready, Mrs. Zheng and Housekeeper You Er are waiting outside, Miss, are you leaving?"

Xie Zhiyun nodded: "Let's go."

She only brought Zhao Yu, Xiao Zhong and Xie Xin, and the four of them left Chunhuating together and went directly into the small garden.

Just as Xie Zhiyun was about to bypass the rockery and walk towards the moon gate between the front and back houses, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

Following the footsteps was a helpless voice: "Ma'am, why are you angry again?"

Xie Zhiyun immediately recognized the speaker as Second Young Master Wei Yao.

She immediately stopped in her tracks, and made the three following back take half a step back. The four of them hid behind the rockery and did not easily show their heads.

At this moment, the hurried footsteps in front also stopped.

"Second young master, why do you say that?"

Yu Hanzhao's voice sounded.

She was reticent, and Xie Zhijun only spoke a few words to her occasionally, and could hardly tell whether she was sad or happy, but now hearing her cold voice, Xie Zhijun could clearly feel that she was angry.

But the anger was not obvious, it was only low in her throat, as if she was trying hard not to be noticed.

Obviously, the annoying Wei Yao didn't notice it at all.

He seemed to be stopped by Yu Hanzhao's questions, and it took him a long time before he said vaguely: "It's not that I don't want you to go to the camp in the western suburbs, it's just...that it's a bit dangerous."

The Western Suburb Camp is the barracks of the Wei Family Army. Wei Ji and Wei Cang often train soldiers and arrange military affairs in the Western Suburb Camp.

Yu Hanzhao seemed to think Wei Yao's words were strange, she sneered, and said, "The tens of thousands of soldiers in my family are stationed in the camp in the western suburbs, and my third brother is also in the camp in the western suburbs, how can it be dangerous?"

It was the first time for Xie Zhiyun to hear her say such a long speech, and she thought that Wei Yao was in trouble.

Sure enough, facing Yu Hanzhao's questioning, Wei Yao became impatient all of a sudden, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice: "There are all real soldiers who followed father and brother to fight the enemy, they are different from you."

Yu Hanzhao: "..."

Yu Hanzhao's voice became colder and quieter.

"How is it different? The Wei family army does not only accept men. The sister of the Lin family also serves as a general in the army. There are more than [-] female soldiers under her command. You say," Yu Hanzhao almost questioned, "You say, I am also different from them ?"

Wei Yao couldn't answer.

After a while, he smiled bitterly: "Madam, do you think I'm too useless?"

This time, it was Yu Hanzhao who did not answer.

Wei Yao's voice also lowered, Xie Zhiyun could hear his loss without looking at his face.

"Ma'am, I have been weak since I was a child. I can't practice martial arts but only Chinese. I don't know anything about family affairs," Wei Ji said in a low voice. Eldest sister, she can sew clothes, but I can only be arty and read those useless sage books."

After he finished speaking, he choked up for a while.

But Yu Hanzhao still didn't answer his words, she just kept silent for a while, and then made a perfunctory sentence.

"Second Young Master, you think too much."

She didn't even have comfort, Wei Yao was obviously very sad.

He laughed miserably, almost talking to himself.

"You shouldn't marry me. Not only do I not understand what you want, but I even delay your future. If you marry the elder brother more..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Hanzhao interrupted him sharply.

"Wei Yao, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Yu Hanzhao was so angry that her breathing became a little heavier, she held back her temper, and finally said: "You go back first, and I will talk to you when I come back."

Wei Yao didn't say a word, probably because he was disheartened, he turned and left the garden.

Xie Zhijun waited quietly for a while, wanting to wait for Yu Hanzhao to leave before coming out, but she didn't wait for Yu Hanzhao's footsteps, only heard her cold voice.

"Come out."

Xie Zhiyun paused slightly.

Immediately, she patted Zhao Yu's hand and walked out from behind the rockery.

"Sister-in-law, it's fate to meet you here." Xie Zhiyun said.

Yu Hanzhao bowed his hands to her as a salute.

"I made my sister-in-law laugh." Yu Hanzhao's face was cold, unable to see sadness or joy, "Where is my sister-in-law going?"

Xie Zhiyun could see that she took the initiative to ask this question to ease the embarrassment just now, but it was hard for her to know these ways of the world.

Xie Zhijun smiled and said, "I'm going to Yongfeng warehouse to arrange relief for the refugees, why not..."

Xie Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "If my sister-in-law is fine, why don't you go with me?"
