Chapter 57 Flattering

Sitting on the stone table outside, Ye Yao propped her chin, watching the leaves of the tree next to her gradually wither and turn yellow. Whenever the breeze blows, Ye Yao can smell the smell of autumn.

Ye Yao likes autumn very much, especially after coming to ancient times.She really hated the custom of wearing several layers of clothing every time she went out, which made her miss the modern air conditioner all the time.And besides the reason of the weather, whenever it rains in ancient times, it makes Ye Yao very crazy.

Because there are very few concrete floors here, except for the official roads, no matter the main roads or small roads, they are all rugged gravel roads.And whenever it rains, she's sure to stain her robes, and sometimes it really breaks her down.

So for Ye Yao, autumn is the best season, neither hot nor cold, dry nor muggy.

"Ma'am, breakfast is ready."

"Okay, by the way, Shaoyao, did you find the ingredients for the underwear I told you about last time?" Ye Yao asked as she took the porcelain bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried steamed bun and threw it into the porridge.

"I talked to Uncle Fu, and he said that the cotton in the village has just run out, and it will take a few days before it can be delivered."

"Okay, I'll take a look at it then."

"Yes ma'am. By the way ma'am, are you still going to Zuiyun Tower today?" Shao Yao saw that it was getting late, but Ye Yao still had breakfast here casually, and felt a little strange.

"I don't know, I'll go to Song Qingxiu's side later."

Song Qingxiu didn't know what the hell was going on recently, and kept avoiding her.Although he often avoided her because of Ye Shiyao in the past, she clearly felt that Song Qingxiu's attitude towards her had improved a lot a while ago.Could it be that she feels good about herself?
But no matter what, she had to find out about the Xieyun Sect so that she could have a better idea.She was really fed up with being so worried every day, and the night before last she had a nightmare because she was thinking about it day and night, which scared her into a cold sweat.

After the meal was full, Ye Yao took the snacks made by Shaoyao and strode towards Song Qingxiu's yard.She knew that Song Qingxiu was going to work in the mansion today, so she didn't rush to Zuiyunlou.

Song Qingxiu's yard is the same as her previous two visits, with beautifully manicured gardening along the way.Before reaching the study room, Ye Yao saw Azu holding a tray on the veranda, as if he was delivering tea to Song Qingxiu.

Ye Yao quickly pulled Shao Yao forward.

"Azu, do you bring tea to Xianggong? It's really hard work for you."

As soon as Azu saw that it was Ye Yao, he straightened up vigilantly and lowered his head slightly.

"It's not hard, ma'am. Ma'am, are you here for business?"

"Yes, I'm looking for Song Qingxiu."

Ye Yao raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her face, she looked very kind, but in fact, she knew that Azu didn't like her very much, well, it should be said that she didn't like Ye Shiyao very much in the past.Ye Yao could understand his thoughts, she would be annoyed that her celestial master married a scheming woman.

"What, do you need to report to Song Qingxiu?"

Ye Yao respected Azu's thoughts, so she asked politely, but in fact, she didn't want Azu to sue Song Qingxiu, because Song Qingxiu would definitely refuse to see her without saying a word.

"Yes madam, please wait a moment, madam." Azu was neither humble nor overbearing.

Not long after, the door of the study room was pushed open, and Azu stood by the door, with one hand palm up, respectfully spread out towards the inside, but the expression on his face was very strange, somewhat intriguing.

"Madam, the young master is waiting for you inside, please."

Unexpectedly, it would be so smooth, Ye Yao couldn't help being surprised, thinking that she had to find some excuses to get in.

After Ye Yao went in, Azu went out and closed the door, Shao Yao naturally followed Azu and stood outside the door waiting.

Once inside, Ye Yao didn't look around like before, but walked directly inside, and saw Song Qingxiu buried in the scrolls in front of the case just like when she came that time.

Meeting him again in the study, Ye Yao's mentality was completely different from the last time, it can be said that it was turned upside down, and Song Qingxiu was the same.

He knew it when Ye Yao came in, but Ye Yao didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say.I don't know when, he and Ye Shiyao always started to quarrel within three sentences, so as time passed, he gradually stopped talking to Ye Shiyao.

But now, even though the distance between the two was very close, Song Qingxiu didn't know what to say.He could probably guess what Ye Yao wanted to say when she came here, which is why he has been avoiding her recently.Although he didn't understand why.

As for Ye Yao, she didn't know that Song Qingxiu's inner world was tumbling, and the reason she didn't speak was mainly because she was afraid that her topic would be too direct or too obvious, which would arouse Song Qingxiu's suspicion.So she is building up words so that it will be more natural when she asks about the Xieyun Sect.

The two were silent for a while, and finally Ye Yao broke the silence between them.

"Actually, I came here to ask you, about the peppers I mentioned that day, should we discuss in advance how much taels to give to the farmers, whether to pay monthly or annually, and so on."

Ye Yao really didn't want to discuss this topic, because this matter has nothing to do with her, as long as it is handed over to Du Qiusheng, everything will be settled.But Ye Yao found out very sadly that she and Song Qingxiu had no common topic to talk about.The relationship between them is one of those that even saying it's a nice day today would make people's eyes drop.

Obviously, Song Qingxiu was also caught off guard by Ye Yao's topic. He originally thought that Ye Yao was talking about something agreed between the two.But he didn't show it, but stayed for a while and followed her words.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Thoughts, this." To be honest, Ye Yao really didn't think about it, "I think if you tell the farmers to pay monthly, they should be more acceptable than annual payment."

"Well, it is true that it is too long for farmers to pay according to the harvest of the year, not to mention that pepper is not a must at present. If it is paid annually, perhaps farmers will consider it. But if it is monthly payment, for the sake of It is indeed more attractive to them to be able to receive a monthly salary to maintain the family."

"That's right, that's right, that's what I meant, and you summed it up better." Ye Yao flattered her.

"Shi Yao thinks how much silver taels should be paid to them every month is the most appropriate."

Song Qingxiu raised his eyes and asked, his dark eyes stared at Ye Yao, and he didn't know whether Song Qingxiu's eyes were too focused or Ye Yao was too guilty. After the two eyes met, Ye Yao suddenly turned her head away .

"Uh, I don't know about this, I think it's better to discuss it after Shopkeeper Du comes back." She didn't dare to look at him, but changed the subject, "By the way, last time Ye, my sister was poisoned, didn't you say Is it related to the Xieyun Sect, how did you find out about that matter? How much do you know about the Xieyun Sect?"

Finally getting to the point.

 Guess what happens next for these two?
