Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 90 Two Bad Friends
Helian Jing had no intention of hiding it from him.

"Didn't my brother go to Shandong to fight bandits a while ago?"

Xia Chunfeng took a big sip of the double smooth milk, which was a little ridiculously delicious. He nodded: "I know, my brother was an undercover agent for half a year!"

"Then I slipped away to Shandong, but unfortunately, when I got there, the war was over, I didn't see my brother, and my purse was stolen. I almost became stranded and couldn't come back. Thanks to Yao Yao, otherwise I might still be begging for food somewhere else!" Helian Jing said self-deprecatingly.

Xia Chunfeng choked on his milk and kept coughing while pointing at Helian Jing.

Ye Jiayao said slowly: "Don't worry, finish your milk first, there will be something more terrifying later."

Helian Jing immediately thought of the incident when he fell into the manure vat: "Yaoyao, good brothers should be loyal and not expose others' shortcomings!"

Ye Jiayao suppressed her laughter and said in a serious tone, "What do you think I'm going to say?"

Helian Jing said awkwardly: "Anyway, you are not allowed to expose people's shortcomings."

Xia Chunfeng coughed until his face turned red. He finally felt better and couldn't help but said to Ye Jiayao, "Tell me quickly, what embarrassing thing did he do again?"

"Don't say it." Helian Jing became nervous.

Xia Chunfeng said: "What does it matter? Anyway, I know all your embarrassing stories since you were a child."

Ye Jiayao became interested: "Let's switch. You say one and I say another."

"Okay, okay, but they have to be of the same level." Xia Chunfeng said with a smile.

Helian Jing was dumbfounded. Are these two still his good brothers? They actually enjoyed exposing his embarrassing stories to each other.

"You speak first." Ye Jiayao said.

Xia Chunfeng said, "When Xiaojing was ten years old, the eldest son of the Zuo Xiang family got married, and we kids said we wanted to make trouble in the bridal chamber, so we hid under the bed early..."

"Xia Chunfeng, if you say that again I'll break up with you." Helian Jing was annoyed.

"Hey, isn't Yaoyao your good brother? It doesn't matter if you tell him. A lot of people know about it anyway." Xia Chunfeng teased him deliberately.

Ye Jiayao nodded seriously: "Well, I promise I won't laugh at you."

Helian Jing angrily grumbled: "I want to break up with you."

He regretted it so much now. He originally wanted to introduce Yaoyao to his best friend, but the two of them ended up taking it upon themselves to expose his embarrassing stories. It was so bad, outrageous and unscrupulous.

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunfeng looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. Look, you're really angry." Ye Jiayao smiled. She was not such an unprincipled person.

Xia Chunfeng said: "Forget it, I'll let you go this time."

Helian Jing was no longer worried after hearing Yaoyao's statement. He said, "Who's going to spare whom? Do you think you don't have any embarrassing things? There are still embarrassing things that your brother doesn't know about. Do you want me to talk to Brother Chunyu about it?"

Xia Chunfeng quickly changed the subject. He would not do such a thing that would hurt others by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

"Hey, this smooth milk tastes like banana."

Ye Jiayao said: "It's a mixture of banana and milk. How is it? Does it taste good?"

Xia Chunfeng nodded: "I thought Xiao Jing was exaggerating before, it really tastes good."

Ye Jiayao snapped her fingers and called Xiao Lu over: "Tell Brother Xiang to order two servings of Pink Lady and Fairy Peach Milk."

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you myself." Ye Jiayao took Xiao Lu's menu and handed it to Xia Chunfeng.

Helian Jing said: "Even if you ask him to order, he won't be able to order. Yaoyao, just arrange whatever you want. Anyway, everything you cook is delicious."

Xia Chunfeng shrugged: "I'm not picky about food, unlike my brother, who managed to stay in the bandit's den for so long."

Ye Jiayao thought to herself: That guy is really picky about food. If she hadn't gone up the mountain, he would have eaten pig food until the end of his life.

"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements. You guys drink tea first, and I'll go get ready."

Helian Jing held her hand. Her hand was as soft as boneless. Helian Jing felt a strange feeling in his heart and forgot what he was going to say for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jiayao asked with a smile.

Helian Jing hesitated and let go of his hand: "No, nothing, I just want to say, don't do too much, just be casual."

Ye Jiayao smiled, turned and left.

Helian Jing was still thinking about the strange feeling that suddenly came over him. Xia Chunfeng stared at him again and again: "Xiao Jing, why is your face red? What you drank just now was an ice drink, not wine." Helian Jing touched his face dully: "Is it red?"

Xia Chunfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want Li Yao to bring you a mirror?"

Helian Jing hesitated guiltily: "Maybe it's too stuffy here."

Xia Chunfeng pointed at the window and said, "You still feel stuffy with the window open? Why not just jump into the Qinhuai River and take a dip?"

"Hey, Xiaojing, is this Li Yao really just a cook with no background?" Xia Chunfeng asked.

"Background? I only know that he comes from a family of chefs, is a great cook, and is a global traveler. I don't care whether he is a commoner or has any other background. Anyway, he has the same temper as me, so I'm determined to make him my friend." Helian Jing said.

"I haven't seen what's good about him yet, but I think he looks good and is generous. Unlike others, he just acts servile and flatters us when he sees us." Xia Chunfeng gave a fair evaluation.

Helian Jing said disapprovingly: "You will know what kind of person he is if you get to know him a few more times. Even my brother recognized him, and your brother as well. You can imagine what kind of person he is."

Xia Chunfeng was surprised: "No way, my second brother? There are not many people in Jinling that he likes, let alone recognizes."

"Why would I lie to you?" Helian Jing said.

"There is something I haven't told you. A few days ago, Princess Liuli suffered a great loss at his hands, and she even invited the prince to help. My brother and your brother both came, and they had already thought of a countermeasure, but in the end..." Helian Jing took a breath and drank a sip of tea.

"Hurry up and tell me, what happened?" Xia Chunfeng urged hurriedly. He actually missed such an exciting thing.

"In the end, it was a false alarm. Yaoyao conquered the Crown Prince with just a few dishes. Not only did the Crown Prince not blame him, he also left him a calligraphy." Helian Jing said leisurely.

Xia Chunfeng took a breath of cold air. Is it really that mysterious? Then he had to go back and ask his second brother. What kind of person is Princess Liuli? Even he had to avoid her when he saw her. This Li Yao was really brave.

"If what you said is true, I would look up to him just because he dared to offend Princess Liuli." Xia Chunfeng murmured.

Ye Jiayao was cooking in the kitchen when Ah Xing came in and said, "Brother Yao, the prince of Yong'an has arrived. He knows that Prince Jing will be there too, so he has gathered a table and is ordering food!"

Uh, Zhao Qixuan is here, Ye Jiayao is very happy, she was just about to talk to him about coconuts.

There was already a full table of people sitting in Fuqiu Pavilion. Everyone else was familiar, except for the relative brought by Mu Qinchu, who had a stranger's face.

Zhao Qixuan said, "Mu Qinchu is treating us today. Let me introduce his cousin to everyone."

Mu Qinchu usually wanted to invite Helian Jing and Xia Chunfeng but failed. Today, he happened to meet them. He smiled carefully and said, "This is my cousin Wei Liujiang. He has recently come to Jinling to participate in the autumn examination. I hope you will take good care of him in the future."

When Xia Chunfeng heard this name, he couldn't help but look at Wei Liujiang again. Is this the Wei Liujiang that his second brother and Song Qi were talking about?
Judging from the tone of the second brother, he seemed to be very displeased with this person! How could this guy offend the second brother just after arriving?

No matter what, he didn't like the people his second brother didn't like. He said lazily: "Your cousin is here to take part in the autumn examination. We are not the chief examiner or the invigilator. What can we do for him? We can't miss any questions even if we want to!"

The obviously unfriendly tone made Mu Qinchu and Wei Liujiang feel depressed. Could it be that Xia Chunfeng also knew that they had offended Xia Chunyu?

"Haha, brother Chunfeng, you're joking. We just want to get to know each other and become familiar with each other." Mu Qinchu laughed.

"I am not a casual person. Whoever comes to say hello to me, I have to know him. Besides, who are you calling, brother Chunfeng?" Xia Chunfeng said indifferently without even glancing at them.

Zhao Qixuan didn't know the inside story and felt that Xia Chunfeng was a little arrogant today. Although Xia Chunfeng was also arrogant on weekdays, just like his brother, there was no need to embarrass someone who smiled at him. So he came out to smooth things over: "Chunfeng, where have you been for a few months?"

Helian Jing also felt that Xia Chunfeng was a little strange today. He spoke with a sharp tongue and showed no mercy. Although he didn't like Mu Qinchu very much, he still had to give him some face. So he said, "He went to the border to see the old marquis. The old marquis hasn't been back to Jinling for several years."

Zhao Qixuan was surprised and said, "Really? In fact, the border has been quite quiet in the past two years. There is no need for the old marquis to stay there."

Xia Chunfeng said proudly: "Why do you think the border is so quiet? It's because my father is there to keep the peace. Otherwise, how could those Northern Rong be so peaceful?"

"That's right, if it weren't for the old Marquis, we wouldn't be able to drink and chat here so freely, we should all be riding our horses to fight the enemy." Zhao Qixuan echoed. There was no other way, the most prestigious and powerful general in Huai Song was the old Marquis Jing'an, and it was not too much to praise him.

Mu Qinchu knew that Prince Jing was good friends with Li Yao. Since he couldn't please Xia Chunfeng, he turned to please Prince Jing.

"Actually, I came here for another reason today. It's to give something to the head chef Li Yao."

Helian Jingqi asked: "What do you want to give?"

Mu Qinchu smiled and said, "Yesterday Li Yao asked me to get him some ice quota, so I'm sending him some ice tickets today."

"Really? Maybe it's for making iced drinks." Helian Jing said, feeling a little unhappy. Why should Yaoyao ask Mu Qinchu for help for such a small matter? He could do it too!
Zhao Qixuan laughed and said, "You have to help me with this, otherwise we won't have any ice drinks."

"That's right, I got it done right away." Mu Qinchu smiled flatteringly.

Xia Chunfeng was secretly surprised: This Li Yao is not simple, he thrives in the circle of Jinling aristocratic children. He even thought that Xiao Jing was the only one who was special to him!
