After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 201
Tao Yao underestimated the enthusiasm of the people in the border town. Just when the three of them were about to go back and ask someone to carry them, the people pulled a cart from nowhere and brought the vegetables back to the General's Mansion for them.

Although the people in the border town were enthusiastic and didn't charge Tao Yao a penny, she didn't really want to take their things for free.

So after returning to the mansion, she asked Tian Bo to count all kinds of ingredients, and asked Tian Bo to bring the money to the hawkers, and sent the money one by one.

After dealing with these matters, Tao Yao went into the kitchen and packed the ingredients together with the servants.

By noon, Tao Yao had cooked all the dishes.

She was just about to ask Xi'er to go out and see if Lu Jiuyuan was back. If Lu Jiuyuan didn't come back, she would take the vegetables to the military camp.

Before she had time to give orders, she saw Lu Jiuyuan coming in from the door, followed by Gu Changqing and several generals Tao Yao had never seen before.

She took a quick look at Lu Jiuyuan, and was relieved to see that he was in good spirits apart from his pale complexion.

She was about to greet everyone, but she heard Gu Changqing ask first: "What delicious food did Mrs. Sister-in-law cook? You can smell the fragrance from a long way away."

"I made a few home-cooked dishes, and you all came back just in time, so go clean your hands and eat first." Tao Yao greeted with a smile.

Several generals came forward to greet her, "Sister-in-law, it's the first time we meet, please accept a small gift."

As they spoke, several generals took out cloth, combs, hair flowers, bracelets and other things from behind them.

Tao Yao looked at them in surprise, waved her hands and said, "It's fine if you come, you don't need to bring anything."

"A little gift is not a respect, and please don't hold it against my sister-in-law." Several generals insisted.

Tao Yao looked at Lu Jiuyuan nervously, not knowing what to do.

Lu Jiuyuan came over, "Take it, otherwise they won't dare to eat."

"Yes, Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't feel embarrassed. They are all rough people. They have exhausted their entire life's wisdom to choose these gifts. If you refuse to accept them, they will really have no face to go back to see the soldiers." Gu Changqing joked .

The officers and men blushed from being teased, but they looked at Tao Yao earnestly, and said with embarrassment: "Some time ago, I heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law came to the frontier, and I always wanted to see you, but the Duke didn't allow it.

This time we won the battle with great difficulty, so the Duke allowed me to wait here.

I just hope that Mrs. Sister-in-law won't dislike me for my lack of etiquette. "

Tao Yao put away her embarrassment and said sincerely, "I welcome everyone to come. I'm really happy that you can come. Let's forget about this time. Next time, we must not bring gifts."

After finishing speaking, she accepted the gifts they handed over one by one, "Thank you, please sit down."

Several generals were brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but now facing Tao Yao, they were as cramped as a little girl, and they all blushed, "Thank you Madam Sister-in-law."

Tao Yao shook her head with a smile, and ordered the people to set up the tables and chairs, then bring the cooked dishes to the table one by one.

The generals followed Lu Jiuyuan to clean their hands.

When I came back, the food was already on the table.

However, everyone was surprised and moved when they saw the delicious meat dishes in pots on the table.

"Sister-in-law is really kind to the general waiting, and she prepared such a sumptuous dish."

Gu Changqing also smiled and said: "It seems that Mrs. Sister-in-law calculated that we would come to eat together, so she specially made such a large amount of dishes."

Several generals respected Tao Yao, "Sister-in-law is really kind to the last general."

Tao Yao felt a little embarrassed, in fact, she didn't expect them to come.

But she cooked so many dishes because she really thought that if Lu Jiuyuan didn't come back, she would send them all to the military camp for him and the generals to eat.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuyuan would bring them back, which saved her from going to the military camp.

She greeted with a smile: "You must be hungry, eat quickly, I don't know if these dishes suit your appetite, you just eat first."

"Sister-in-law is too polite, such delicious food must be delicious." Several generals were very supportive.

"Then eat quickly." Tao Yao and Xi'er made soup and rice for them.

She was about to step back, but was stopped by Lu Jiuyuan, "Eat together?"

Tao Yao was a little surprised.

She thought that Lu Jiuyuan would not let her eat together at the table, after all, all the people here were men.

This man is more open-minded than she thought.

But she shook her head, "I've already eaten, you and your brothers can eat, by the way, do you want someone to heat up some wine?"

"Okay, Madam Lao." Lu Jiuyuan scratched her palm with his fingertips.

Tao Yao felt sweetness in her heart, shook her head, took Xi'er down, and then ordered Tian Bo to bring the wine over, while she and Xi'er were in the kitchen, eating some casual food.

She didn't sleep well last night, and now that she is free, she feels a little sleepy.

So after eating, seeing Lu Jiuyuan, Gu Changqing and others still eating and drinking in the front yard, they went back to the house to rest.

This time, she slept soundly.

When I woke up, it was dark outside.

She just sat up, wondering if Lu Jiuyuan and the generals had gone back to the camp, when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Lu Jiuyuan's tall figure walked in.

"You didn't go to the barracks?" Tao Yao was surprised.

"En." Lu Jiuyuan responded, walked to the bed, and explained, "I'll be free for a while."

When Tao Yao heard this, she rushed over happily and put her arms around his waist, "Does that mean that you finally have time to accompany me?"

"Hmm." Lu Jiuyuan raised his hand and touched her head, his eyes flickered fondly.

"I was really scared to death last night." Tao Yao put his arms around his waist, refusing to let go, "I was so afraid that the Khitans would come in, so I didn't dare to fall asleep in the middle of the night."

"It surprised you." Lu Jiuyuan sat down beside the bed and hugged her into his arms.

Tao Yao shook her head, "I was really scared at the time, after all, I had never encountered such a thing, but at the same time I believed that you would protect us, so I wasn't that scared.

By the way, have Mr. Gu and those generals left? "

"Well, they're back in the barracks." Lu Jiuyuan replied.

"Are the dishes delicious at noon? Is it enough?" Tao Yao asked repeatedly, remembering something.

"It's delicious, they ate nothing left." Lu Jiuyuan smiled, "After knowing that you made those dishes yourself, well, they are very envious of me."

"Ah?" Tao Yao was stunned, "Envy you?"

"I'm envious of my good fortune." Lu Jiuyuan paused, his eyes fell on her pretty face, and he added, "I also envy my good fortune."

Tao Yao was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but stared at him uncertainly, "They really said that, or..." Did you make it up yourself?

In the second half of the sentence, Tao Yao didn't ask, but Lu Jiuyuan could see it, with a look of joy on his brows, "I didn't make it up, they really said it themselves." After a pause, he said, "Of course, I I think so too.”
