Poor family rebirth girl

Chapter 129

"Brother Yuan, who's here?"

With a clear and cheerful questioning voice, Su Ya stuck her head out from the kitchen.

Yuan Yutao turned around the tall and strong man blocking the door, and revealed Shen Huai.Unexpectedly, the smile on Su Ya's face slowed down, and she retracted without saying a word.

The situation is not right.

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows, strode into the small courtyard, entered the kitchen, saw Su Ya was lighting a fire in front of the stove, and Yan Shi was busy before the case, he said hello to Yan Shi, and walked to Su Ya's side.

Unexpectedly, Su Ya didn't wait for him to squat down, and stood up slowly, "Leg hurts, I'm going to rest, mother, you can light the fire yourself."

The dress passed in front of Shen Huai, and a piece of the corner was still patted on the bridge of his nose and cheeks. Shen Huai stared blankly at Su Ya leaving the kitchen like a whirlwind. With that speed, where did it hurt?
He looked up at Yan Shi, and asked innocently, "Aunt Yan, what's wrong with her?"

Yan smiled awkwardly, and wiped her hand on the apron, "You go and rest too, give it to me here."

How could Shen Huai really let Yan shi cook and light the fire by himself?He had just warmed his heart, but he couldn't let others cool it down, so he moved to sit on the small bench, "You cook, and I'll light the fire."

The so-called practice makes perfect, smart people are quick to learn what to do, even if the skills in the early years are rusty, now that they have been cooked a few times, Shen Huai's stove is very suitable for Yan's wishes.

Yuan Yutao crossed his arms and leaned against the door of the kitchen to watch for a while. After another pot of clean water was changed, he looked at the gap and said to Shen Huai: "Master Shen, Aunt Yan is in a hurry. I am slow alone. Would you like to give me a hand?"

Shen Huai looked at Yan Shi, Yan Shi nodded, "I can take care of this."

At this moment, the stove only needs to be watched occasionally, so Shen Huai stood up, patted the hem of his robe casually, and asked Yuan Yutao, "What are you going to do? Brother Yuan, please tell me."

Yuan Yutao went out, pointing to the two bundles of tender green slender leaves along the well, "Pick Pu Ya'er."

The ground turned out to be early spring cattail sprouts, wild vegetables as expensive as gold, Shen Huai had just tasted them at the banquet in Cao Du's mansion today, and the cattail sprouts on the plate were as lustrous as jade, so the prototype turned out to be like this.

Shen Huai didn't say much, took off his outer robe and rolled up his sleeves, "Come on, Brother Yuan wants to teach me."

Yuan Yutao's eyes flashed, the expression on his handsome face was unclear, but he didn't say much, he also rolled up his narrow sleeves, bent down to pick up a knife, and chopped off the two ends of the cattail stalk, demonstrating to peel off several layers of the middle section , until the tender stems of Yubai are exposed, and then carefully put them in the pot.

Shen Huai learned from the example, making the steps the same, and his movements are chic and free, without any delay.

Both bundles of cattail grass were cleaned, and in the end only a shallow half pot was peeled off.

"Quaidao Xiaoya said that although Huai'an cattail is common, early spring cattail is a luxury." Shen Huai weighed the small pot and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan has a heart."

Obviously, this is the cattail leaf picked by Yuan Yutao, and the soles of his shoes are still stained with mud from the riverside that hasn't been wiped clean.

"With a little effort, Xiao Ya hurt her leg, so pick it up to satisfy her cravings," Yuan Yutao replied, "This is the taste she is used to eating since childhood, and she can't eat it anywhere else."

Hmm, it's a bit of an understatement.

Shen Huai remained calm, "Xiaoya likes to eat, so just eat it every year."

"Eat every year?" Yuan Yutao washed his hands with water, and said casually: "It seems that Mr. Shen has no intention of provoking Xiaoya, so I can rest assured."

Shen Huai also washed his hands with water, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

"What are you talking about? Mr. Shen is a new rich man, so he won't stay in Huai'an to eat cattail vegetables, will he?"

"Why not?"

"Master Shen, you high-ranking officials and nobles, are you talking so easily?"

"Brother Yuan misunderstood, Mr. Shen came from an ordinary background, and now he is just an idle job."

"Master Shen is too modest. An ordinary job with an ordinary background cannot make a big difference in the punishment hall."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Brother Yuan for his righteousness, for being willing to stand up for Xiaoya and provide important information in the lobby."

"That's all my responsibility, Xiao Ya should have been taken care of by me."

Words are the voice of the heart, Shen Huai lowered his eyes and smiled - is Yuan Yutao trying to support Su Ya, or is he trying to clear his name?
"Brother Yuan, don't worry," he said with a smile, "I will take good care of Xiao Ya and Aunt Yan in the future."

"I heard that the young lady from Cao Du's family welcomed you at the city gate last night. Mr. Shen is very charming. There will be a lot of troubles in the future. Maybe he can protect them?"

Shen Huai had already washed Pu Ya'er and was about to send it to the kitchen, but he only paused when he heard the words, how could these things be said by mouth?Furthermore, why should he tell Yuan Yutao?

"There are people from Cao Du's mansion today." Yuan Yutao said behind him.

Shen Huai stopped, turned around, and waited for Yuan Yutao to continue.

"It looks like she's the maidservant of the female family in Cao Du's mansion. She's so arrogant. She restrained herself when she saw me come out." Yuan Yutao was angry with a sullen face. I learned a lot before coming here."

Shen Huai said in disbelief: "Did Xiaoya beat them?"

"..."

The expression on Yuan Yutao's face didn't stop, what kind of reaction is Shen Huai doing?
"I'll go and make it clear to Xiao Ya right now, if there are those who don't know what's good and what's wrong, I'll beat them up in person, and I don't need to listen to any more nonsense!"

Shen Huai stuffed the Pu Ya'er basin into Yuan Yutao's hand, and was about to go to the main room.

Yuan Yutao grabbed him, "Wait!"

Shen Huai turned around, "What?"

"Master Shen, your acting is very good, and your words are also nice." Yuan Yutao had contempt in his eyes, "It's a pity that the status is different. If Xiaoya really beats people with your power, what will happen after you leave?" ? What else can they do for a living?"

Shen Huai narrowed his eyes, glanced at the figure at the door of the kitchen shaken by the kitchen light, then looked at the silent main room, and said loudly:

"Wherever Su Ya is, I will be there. Whatever power she wants, I will find power for her. Only if I can't do it with all my strength, there will be nothing I won't do——I need to go where to go?"

Yuan Yutao sneered and said, "Master Shen really speaks of beauty, but it's a pity that you are an official who sells your body to the imperial court. The glory and wealth are all in front of you. Do you really have the freedom to choose?"

"Brother Yuan doesn't need to worry about that," Shen Huai said solemnly, "I have already decided to protect her for the rest of my life."

The courtyard was silent for a moment.

During dinner, Yan looked at Shen Huai with even more kind eyes, and kept picking up vegetables for Shen Huai. Poor Yuan Yutao worked so hard to pick golden buds in the icy river, and half of them went into Shen Huai's stomach middle.

After Yuan Yutao left, Su Ya and Shen Huai chatted under the corridor of Huaiyuexuan.

Shen Huai then asked Su Ya what the maidservant from Cao Du's mansion had said to her when she came over.

Su Ya sat leaning against the railing of the promenade, and said sourly: "It's nothing, it's all the truth."

Shen Huai asked with a smile: "How to tell the truth, let's hear it."

"Oh," Su Ya sighed, looking melancholy at the jade-yellow crescent moon in the sky, "Master Shen, I know what you mean, but the difference between our identities is indeed too great. but……"

She squinted at Feng'er, and looked at Shen Huai, "It's better to keep a distance, and it will be quieter after the feeling from above has passed."

Shen Huai saw Su Ya's awkwardness, and teased her with a smile: "You really are 'seizing the day and night', from last night to now, just after the day and night, are you going to change your mind?"

"It's not a change of heart." Su Ya said melancholy: "I was only planning to fight for three and a half months, but I didn't think that I would be so tired that you would have to work hard to fight for me. What kind of power do you have to carry? I don't feel sorry for you anymore."

"It's only been three and a half months?" Shen Huai grasped the clue and immediately complained, "If you just say nice things, you will change your mind. You are really irresponsible to me!"

Su Ya curled her lips and hummed, "I heard that someone was treated very favorably in Cao Du's mansion today. They exchanged cups and exchanged cups, and had a great conversation, but they couldn't be more harmonious. Why don't Mrs. Qiu and Miss Qiu chatter? Just send someone to warn me?"

"Nothing!" Shen Huai categorically denied: "You're also their bastard, so it can be seen that I didn't give them a good face."

Su Ya turned her eyes to look at the sky, but her ears moved and turned sideways in his direction.

Shen Huai couldn't help laughing, "Ya'er, you know that they all take me for a ride, wishing I could be used as a shield, and use all kinds of tricks, how can it be as good as what I say? You see, I am not leaving early and coming back to accompany me." Have you eaten?"

He took advantage of the opportunity to tell Su Ya about Cao Qingyuan.

"It seems that what Cao Qingyuan is looking for in Nanjing is really her own future." After hearing this, Su Ya sighed, thinking of the desperation that the proud and bright girl was about to face, feeling and sympathy arose in her heart, "She really can't Bring in the rescuers?"

"You're starting to look forward to her again?"

"I just feel bad for her."

"Did you feel uncomfortable when she slapped you?"

"It's different." Su Ya sat on the corridor of Huaiyuexuan, her toes dangling outside the corridor, "That's a personal grievance, it's a big right and wrong, you men don't understand."

Shen Huai chuckled, but didn't speak.

Su Ya looked sideways, "Then if Cao Kaihe really agreed to the married daughter's rescue, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"What 'we'?" Shen Huai leaned freely on the long corridor, and said casually: "This matter is a headache for Qiu Naicheng, but it has nothing to do with me."

"How do you say that?" Su Ya wondered, "It's not that there is something about Zhao Qing between you and him, and that he hunted and encircled and suppressed you with ruthless methods, so you really let it go?"

Shen Huai seemed even stranger than her, "I'm an idle civil servant, just traveling, even if my innocence is affected, I have the court to worry about it, what can I not let go of?"

No, Su Ya looked up at him, vaguely smelling the conspiracy again.

Shen Huai laughed, and rubbed the top of her head with his hand, messing up a strand of hair, covering Su Ya's eyes.

She raised her hand to block his hand. This person is real and fake, fake and real, and he really has the meaning of officialdom.

Su Ya stopped asking, and Shen Huai was dissatisfied again, "Why don't you ask?"

Su Ya looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, thinking about the joys and sorrows that cannot be shared under the same sky, and said sullenly: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I can guess a little bit: you don't want to As Caodu's pawn, after discovering the relationship between Qian Yushi and Caodu, they showed their sincerity, but you are more convinced of the tricks of old officials in the officialdom to deceive newcomers... In fact, I think it is true, Qiu Naicheng himself couldn't beat Xungui, so he wanted to borrow your strength, after all, you have the Queen Mother as the backer, the emperor doesn't care about your face, but also his mother's relationship."

Shen Huai laughed and said, "You really understand Qiu Naicheng."

"I've watched them in Huai'an city for two years. What don't I understand?" Su Ya sighed, "I'm just not worth it for Cao Qingyuan. Women's marriages are always involuntary."

"Remove the word 'general'." Shen Huai felt unhappy when he thought of the Qiu family coming to scold Su Ya, "at least that young lady of the Qiu family can do whatever she wants."

Su Ya thought, that's right, Qiu Nianyun is not as flamboyant as Cao Qingyuan, but she is the one who really does whatever she wants, not only dares to block Shen Huai at the gate of the city, but now even Cao Du and his wife have come forward for her.

Thinking that Shen Huai must have been peeped by Mrs. Qiu in Caodu's mansion, Su Ya felt angry, and thinking of the arrogance of the Qiu family's maid who came to lecture today, she became even more angry.

She squinted at the misfortune around her, feeling love and hate at the same time.

Shen Huai noticed that her gaze was not kind, so he blinked, "Ya'er, have you finally realized that you like me more?"

"Heh," Su Ya gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words, "I found out that you are probably really a troublemaker."

"Then you have to be nervous about me..." He caught Su Ya's hand that was about to move, and immediately added: "Be more confident, why should you be angry with those people?!"

"If you're not happy, you can beat them as much as you want, and you can't walk." He nodded heavily, "If you get hurt or disabled, it's all mine!"
