Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 57 meters
Helian Jing's knot in his heart was untied, and he felt completely relaxed. He hummed the little tune he had learned while boating on the lake yesterday, and walked briskly to pay his respects to his mother and grandmother.

"Stop." A majestic cold shout came from behind.

Helian Jing's heart skipped a beat, and his original joy was frozen in an instant. He turned around slowly with his head hung.

"Big brother."

Helian Xuan couldn't help but frown when he saw this younger brother. His uncles and aunts died in battles in their early years, leaving only him and his younger brother. In this generation, only he and his younger brother were left. The emperor sympathized with the Helian family and appointed two kings from the same family. Before his father died, he repeatedly told him to take good care of his younger brother. The Helian family had been loyal and upright for generations, and had never produced useless people...

He kept his father's last words in mind and never dared to slack off. As for this younger brother, because he was weak and sickly when he was young, everyone spoiled him and pampered him. He was still a child at the age of sixteen.

"Where have you been all day?"

"No, I didn't go anywhere. I just went to Tianshangju with Zhao Qixuan to have a meal, and then drink tea." Helian Jing felt frightened when he saw his elder brother's majestic look, and answered cautiously.

It would be fine if Zhao Qixuan wasn't mentioned, but once Zhao Qixuan was mentioned, Helian Xuan became even angrier.

"How many times have I told you? Stop hanging out with people like this." Helian Xuan said angrily.

"Brother, Zhao Qixuan is actually a good person, except for that problem." Helian Jing whispered to defend Zhao Qixuan.

"You know he has that problem, but you still hang out with him. Aren't you afraid that he will rely on you and become the second Young Master Su? Even if you have nothing to do with him, aren't you afraid of others talking behind your back?" Helian Xuan was furious.

Helian Jing was unhappy and didn't dare to retort.

"I think you are just idle." Helian Xuan scolded.

"I don't want to be idle either. I've told you many times to assign me a job, but you and mother just won't agree." Helian Jing muttered.

"With your nonchalant look, who would dare to entrust the task to you?" Helian Xuan glared.

Helian Jing muttered to himself: I am not given anything to do, so of course I am idle.

Helian Xuan sighed sadly: "Next month is my grandmother's 70th birthday. I've been busy with official duties recently, so I'll leave the matter of hosting the birthday banquet for my grandmother to you."

Helian Jing was delighted: "Brother, really?"

"If you want to embarrass yourself, embarrass your family first, so that others won't laugh at you." Helian Xuan snorted coldly.

Helian Jing rolled his eyes and said unconvincedly: "Brother, don't underestimate me, maybe I can do much better than you."

"That's right, when it comes to clever ideas, no one has more than you." Helian Xuan sneered.

Helian Jingxin said: Only smart people can come up with clever ideas, why do you ask a fool to think of one?
"Okay, do this well and make grandma happy. If you don't understand anything, ask mom. If you can't handle anything outside, come back to me. If this is done well, I will arrange a job for you."

Helian Jing was overjoyed and replied loudly: "Yes, brother, don't worry, I will do it properly and make grandma happy."

Seeing his excitement, Helian Xuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and nodded: "Do it well."

Maybe Chunyu was right. In the past, they were too cautious, too worried, and did not dare to let go, so the bird would not fly. It was time to give Xiaojing a chance to exercise.

As soon as his eldest brother left, Helian Jing also turned around and headed towards the mansion gate. He wanted to find Dayaoyao and ask him to help make a decision.

Unexpectedly, Helian Xuan turned around and asked: "Where are you going now?"

Helian Jing scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "I was so happy that I lost track of direction. I was going to pay my respects to my mother and grandmother."

Helian Xuan shook his head and sighed, and began to doubt whether it was right for him to hand this matter over to Xiao Jing, so as not to mess it up and make a fool of himself.

Hey, little brother, when will people be able to trust you?

In the Prince Jing'an's Mansion, Xia Chunyu came back from paying his respects, and Qingliu had already prepared clothes for him to change into.

Qiao Xi stepped forward and helped him undress.

"Are Dabao and Erbao okay?" Xia Chunyu asks this question every day.

"My Lord, I'm fine, jumping around happily. Today, when we went to feed Xiaoruo, we accidentally let Erbao run away. We chased him all over the yard, making everyone fall to the ground. It was so funny." Qiao Xi said with a smile.

Xia Chunyu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. If Yaoyao was there, Dabao and Erbao would not run away and would always stay beside Yaoyao obediently.

After taking off their outer clothes, Xia Chunyu raised his hand to stop them from taking off any more. He put on his inner clothes and went behind the screen.

Qing Liu gave Qiao Xi a look, and Qiao Xi smiled knowingly and walked out.

Xia Chunyu swam back and forth in the pool, but the pool was too small and he could reach the end with just two strokes of his arms. It was not satisfying at all, which made him miss the Yanxia Lake under the Black Wind Hill, where he could swim freely and happily. Every time he came back from swimming, Yaoyao would take a dry towel to wipe his hair, and then listen to her chattering.

At that time, I thought she was so long-winded. How could she have so much to say that I couldn't even have a moment of peace and quiet? Thinking back on it now, it's so heartwarming.

Xia Chunyu scooped up a handful of water to wash his face, then leaned against the pool and closed his eyes to rest.

There were light footsteps behind him, and Xia Chunyu said lazily, in a low and magnetic voice: "I told you not to wait on me."

The person was still approaching, and then the water began to ripple slightly.

Xia Chunyu opened his eyes and saw Qingliu, naked, slowly sinking into the pond and approaching him.

"Master, let me serve you." Qingliu's face was flushed, and it was unclear whether it was because of shyness or the steam from the pool.

The waves gently caress her young and graceful body. The cherry-red skin on her jade peaks is faintly visible under the waves, fragrant, beautiful and attractive.

However, he could not react at all and said expressionlessly: "Get out."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Qingliu's face, but she only hesitated for a moment and continued to move forward.

She had already asked Song Qi, the prince had a woman, but that woman was dead. Even if the prince really liked a woman whose name was unclear, she was no longer with him. She believed that as long as she cared more about the prince and found a chance to get close to him, his eyes would fall on her again.

"Qingliu, you know I won't repeat what I said a second time." Xia Chunyu said indifferently.

Qing Liu was stunned, feeling extremely embarrassed. She was not a shameless woman. If she had not served the prince before, she would not have dared to throw herself into his arms like this.

"My Lord, you have changed." Qing Liu choked with tears. The tenderness and gentle words he once had turned into coldness and cruelty. Not to mention getting close to him, he even refused to look at him.

Xia Chunyu didn't want to curse, nor did he want to fight. After all, Qingliu had served him before, and if she refused to leave, then he would leave.

Xia Chunyu turned around, supported himself on the bank with one hand, jumped out of the water, grabbed the robe on the hanger, put it on quickly, walked two steps and stopped, and said, "You are not young anymore, you should be twenty! I will tell the housekeeper to arrange for you to leave the house."

Qing Liu felt like she was struck by lightning. She couldn't believe that the prince would say such a heartless thing.

"Young Master..." Qingliu cried.

Xia Chunyu didn't hesitate any longer and strode out of the bathroom without looking back.

There was a miserable cry behind me.

After being tormented by Qingliu, Xia Chunyu was upset and changed his clothes and went out to relax.

"Master, where are you going?" Song Qi followed him all the way. The Master didn't say a word, just walked aimlessly.

Just like the day when he came back from Yanxia Lake, the prince walked through the entire Black Wind Hill without saying a word.

Xia Chunyu stopped and looked up. The Qinhuai River was in front of him.

"Let's go for a walk along the river."

There was not much business in Tianshangju tonight, so they closed early. Deng Haichuan followed Ye Jiayao's instructions and invited everyone to drink. Ye Jiayao returned to the inn, helped to clean up, and went back to the room to lie down for a while but was not sleepy at all. In modern times, when the nightlife officially started, the ancients had no entertainment activities, so they had to go to bed and dream, so they simply got up and walked around.

Lai Fu Inn is not far from the Qinhuai River, just across two streets.

Looking at the pleasure boats passing by on the river, Ye Jiayao comforted herself in an Ah Q spirit: You are taking a night cruise on the Qinhuai River, and so am I. Moreover, I take a night cruise on the Qinhuai River every day after work. The difference is that you are floating on the river, and I am walking on the shore, and it is still very comfortable!

"Selling delicious bean cakes, two copper coins for one piece..."

There was a hawking sound coming from not far away. Ye Jiayao looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man sitting on the dock selling bean cakes.

Ye Jiayao sighed, it's not easy for the old man to still sell bean cakes so late, so she walked over and said, "Old man, give me a piece of bean cake."

The old man smiled and said, "Wait a minute, little brother. I'll make you a fresh one."

Ye Jiayao started chatting with the old man.

"Uncle, is there still business this late?"

The old man smiled and said, "If you can sell one, you can sell one. You can make some money no matter how many you sell."

Ye Jiayao pointed at the pleasure boat and asked, "Will those young masters come to buy it?"

"They don't care about such cheap things, but the girls and servants on the ship will occasionally take care of the old man's business."

Ye Jiayao thought about it and said, "Then give me three more!"

Take it back for Xiao Yang and the others to eat.

The old man said, "Young man, try one first, and buy one if you think it tastes good."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Uncle, you are such an honest person."

Just when Ye Jiayao was buying bean cakes.

Xia Chunyu and Song Qi passed by her.

Song Qi smelled the aroma of bean cake and asked with a smile: "My Lord, would you like a piece of bean cake?"

Xia Chunyu said indifferently: "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself."

Song Qi chuckled and said, "Then... My Lord, please wait a moment."

Ye Jiayao paid the money, ate a piece of bean cake in her mouth, held three pieces of bean cake in her hands, and continued walking forward.

By the time Song Qi got over there, Ye Jiayao had already walked more than ten meters away.

"Uncle, give me a piece of bean cake."

The old man said, "I didn't expect business to be so good today."

Xia Chunyu was getting a little impatient waiting, so he turned his head to look at Song Qi, and saw a person wandering around in the distance. Xia Chunyu pulled a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. At this time, there were still people like him, wandering around the river.

"Song Qi, are you ready?" Xia Chunyu urged.

"Here it comes," Song Qi ran back with the bean cake, took a bite, and his mouth was full of fragrance: "My Lord, this bean cake is really good."

Xia Chunyu had no expression on his face and continued walking forward.

He didn't expect that this evening, just now, he and Yaoyao passed by each other, and the closest distance was only 1.73 meters.
