After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 232

It was the third time in three days that Yun Zhuo saw Mu Xuecheng pass by the gate of her courtyard.

She always knew that Mu Xuecheng was on the road, but she never thought that he could be on the road like this.

But he just passed by, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, Yun Zhuo couldn't find a reason to talk to him.

She turned her head and asked Qiu Xing: "You said just now that you followed them these few days and saw with your own eyes that they did not go to the Sifanglou, but the servant next to Mu Xuecheng told you that they have been in the Sifanglou these few days. Have breakfast?"

Qiu Xing nodded: "And every time I go near the Sifang Building, Mr. Mu and the others disappear."

Yun Zhuo pondered for a while: "Forget it, don't care about them."

Mu Xuecheng is the head of the Mu family after all, so he shouldn't be too stupid.As long as nothing happened to him in the capital, and there would be an explanation from the teacher at that time, Yun Zhuo felt that it would be fine to let them go.

Now all her mind is thinking about the origin of the new Marquis Cheng En in the capital.

But before she could figure it out, Xie Jie sent someone to invite her.

At any rate, he was a lifesaver, and Yun Zhuo didn't delay, and arrived at Xie's mansion not long after.

Xie Jie was waiting for her in the water pavilion.

In the pool at this time, the lotus has already bloomed and failed, and only the half-folded lotus stalks, withered lotus leaves and lotus pods are left in the pool.

Seeing her coming, Xie Jie said: "The neighbor's house had cleaned up the lotus leaves and lotus pods in the pond long ago, but I kept this scene on purpose. Take a look, how about it?"

Yun Zhuo first saw the spicy shrimp tails on the table, and then heard his words, Fang said very sincerely: "The autumn shade does not disperse, the frost flies late, and the residual lotus is left to listen to the sound of rain. It is a very beautiful image." Just said After she finished, she changed the subject, until she saw the delicious food in front of her, "Master Xie, this plate of spicy shrimp tail is Sichuan style, right?"

The white porcelain plate is full of red-burning shrimp tails, surrounded by seasonings such as star anise, Chinese prickly ash, and dried red pepper. Just being there is already attractive enough.

"Miss Si has good eyesight, try it?"

This is what Yun Zhuo was waiting for.

When she used to read travel notes, she saw someone say that the food in Bashu is famous for its delicious, spicy and spicy food, but the dishes in Kyoto focus on peace and taste, and they have no taste.

Later, of course, there was a lot of money to find cooks in Shu, but the dishes they made were not bad, but they didn't meet Yun Zhuo's expectations.

But today's plate of spicy shrimp tails is different, she has enough appetite just looking at it.

She was just about to reach out and pick it into the bowl to peel it, but suddenly a ball of crystal clear and tender shrimp fell into the bowl. She was taken aback for a moment, but saw that Xie Jie on the opposite side seemed to be used to it, and he didn't feel sorry for her at all. Feeling a little awkward or uncomfortable.

Perhaps, for Mr. Xie, peeling shrimp is also a kind of fun?
Thinking of this, Yun Zhuo smiled at him, and after thanking him, he began to eat with peace of mind.

A plate of prawn tails looks like a lot, but it doesn't seem to be able to withstand peeling.After a while, it was finished by Xie Jie, and Yun Zhuo was almost finished eating.

It wasn't until she put down her chopsticks that Yun Zhuo realized that she had eaten up a whole plate of shrimp, leaving nothing for Xie Jie, who is the master? ? ?
She licked her lips and regretted, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I ate it if I didn't pay attention. How about I pay you a plate?"

"How to pay?" Xie Jie asked with a smile.

Just as Yun Zhuo wanted to ask him which restaurant's chef he invited, he suddenly heard him say: "This is the cooking that I personally cook, so why don't you cook a dish for me as well?"

Yun Zhuo felt even more regretful.

She changed the subject with a laugh: "I don't know what you asked me to do?"

It can't be about cooking, right?
"I have something to ask for your help." Xie Jie said, "I still have a painting here, I want you to give it to Concubine Chu so that the emperor can see it."

Why is it painting again?
Yun Zhuo asked: "Which adult committed a crime this time?"

"That's not true." Xie Jie smiled, "To express my gratitude, if you want to eat spicy shrimp tails in the future, why don't you come to me anytime?"

Yun Zhuo sighed: "Master Xie, do you know why I genuinely thought you had lost power?"

Both of them tacitly agreed not to mention some previous things, such as Xie Jie selling his car and overturning.But not mentioning it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Now that Yun Zhuo mentioned it again, it didn't mean to ask the teacher to ask for a crime, but it was very peaceful, like a chat between friends.

"Why?"

"It's because Wen Lu, as your personal bodyguard, seems to be too idle." Yun Zhuo was heartbroken, after all, the keen investigative ability she had always been proud of was not effective on Xie Jie, which also made Xie Jie She was really embarrassed to mention Xie Yu's cheating on her, otherwise it would definitely involve her again.

"Then according to what you mean, I'm afraid I'd better be busy?" Xie Jie said regretfully, "In this case..."

So what, before he finished speaking, Yun Zhuo hurriedly interrupted him: "No, no, no, I think this is fine now."

What if I am too busy and have no time to make spicy shrimp tails for her?
As Xie Jie said, he thought of calling Wen Lu to show Yun Zhuo the letter sent by Gu Chengrui.

He and Gu Chengrui have always been in correspondence with each other by letter. After he mentioned Yun Xuanhe's matter last time, Gu Chengrui sent another letter with several family letters from Yun Xuanhe.

Yun Zhuo was very happy when she saw these family letters. She got up and said, "My lord, don't worry about it. You can give me the painting another day, or you can do it now, or you can ask someone to send it later. I won't keep any more. Mother would be very happy if she knew that third brother had sent a letter back."

The smile on Xie Jie's face stagnated, and he was sure from the gloating expression on hearing Lu's misfortune that he had thrown a stone at his own foot.

After all, he originally just wanted Yun Zhuo to stay here happily for a while, how could he have thought that she was so happy that she couldn't wait to go home?

But he didn't have any reason to stop the delay, so he could only forcefully smile and say, "Okay."

After she left, Wen Lu Fang asked him: "Didn't you already draw up the person to send the painting?"

He was worried that something bad would happen to Yun Zhuo or Concubine Chu.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jie was serious about it: "But if it was Yun Zhuo, I would have a reason to see her a few more times." He paused, and then asked, "Don't you think it would be fun to be with her? "

Wen Lu looked at him in shock.

Xie Jie realized later: "That's right, if you think so, then it's wrong."

Wen Lu: ...

Wen Lu felt bitter.

"However, I heard that you often go to Ruanxianglou recently?"

Wen Lu immediately became nervous: "This subordinate usually just sits down for a while."

"Why are you nervous? I mean, it's time for you to start a family." Xie Jie said, "If you like her girl, redeem yourself for her. If you don't like it, then don't go, so as not to delay her."
