Reaching out his hand that was not on crutches and picking it up, "The Flower Eater, what kind of book is this?" ”

"The book says that among the people, there are some people who like to eat flowers, and it also records some flower practices. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Yu Zhaodi replied honestly.

Chu Mubai handed the book back to her, obviously he was not interested in this type of book, "Are you literate?" ”

"Yes."

"How can you be literate?"

"......" Yu Zhaodi raised her head suddenly, stared at Chu Mubai, and immediately turned her eyes in a little panic.

When he asked just now, she didn't think about it that much, and reflexively replied yes, but how to explain it now?

"Your eldest sister and second sister are illiterate, why are you the only one who can read?"

"I ......" Yu Zhaodi stood up from the stone, but because she got up too quickly and was unsettled, the soles of her feet slipped down, and the person fell backwards.

Fortunately, Chu Mubai's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her and dragged her to his side, so that she was spared from falling into the water.

But Chu Mubai's leg injury is not yet complete, and the reason why he can walk and stand is all dependent on the crutches in his hand. When he dragged Yu Zhaodi to his side, because the center of gravity was unstable, the crutches were taken off at once.

He pulled Yu Zhaodi and fell to the ground together, and Yu Zhaodi just pressed on his injured leg. He cried out in pain.

Yu Zhaodi almost jumped up, she hurriedly helped Chu Mubai up, and said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Chu Mubai checked his leg, and the wooden plank caught in the wound was still intact, presumably just being pressed just now.

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Seeing that she was almost crying, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. "Actually, it's my own fault for this matter, I was just curious to ask, I didn't expect you to react so much."

Of course, Chu Mubai knew that Yu Zhaodi could write, and he had already heard about the letter that was rumored to be evidence of betrayal, and he really just asked it with some curiosity, and there was absolutely no other meaning.

"I ......" Yu Zhaodi thought for a while, covered her mouth and coughed lightly, and continued, "I secretly hid outside the window of the school to learn, and others didn't know." ”

Yu Zhaodi was quite satisfied with the explanation she gave, because after she saw a look flash in Chu Mubai's eyes that she couldn't understand, she completely believed her words.

Then, there was silence between the two, an eerie silence, and an embarrassment that slowly spread around the two of them......

This discovery made Yu Zhaodi feel a little uncomfortable, because when he was with her before, even if neither of them spoke, he would not feel embarrassed. But now......

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, he was still the same him, but she was no longer the same her.

Some things changed when she became Yu Zhaodi, and she can't go back.

"You like to read this kind of book?" Chu Mubai was the first to break the silence.

"I ...... I've been working on something lately that I need to use these books as a reference...... "In the face of him, she always has nothing to hide, she is not used to it, and she does not want to."

Chu Mubai is an understanding person, as soon as she said this, he immediately thought of the most talked-about thing in Bian Cheng recently, "You also want to enter the tasting party?" ”

"Huh?" Yu Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyelids, "Yes...... yes......"

If she denied it, she really didn't know what words to use to explain the reason, so she simply admitted it.

As soon as Chu Mubai heard her answer, he began to tell her about the tasting meeting. He is a person in the government, so he naturally knows a lot more about the tasting party.

Originally, this tasting meeting was led by the Qingzhou Prefecture, and the Lord of the Prefecture meant that through such activities, he could collect some folk traditional or novel and unique foods, and carry forward the food culture of our dynasty.

The whole tasting meeting is divided into the registration stage, the rough selection stage, and the formal stage. The registration phase is held together with the rough selection stage, and on June 5, all people who want to participate in the tasting will be able to sign up.

When you sign up, you need to bring your own food, and the officials sent by the state government will try it on the spot, and the results will be announced in public. Those who pass the registration will attend the tasting at the designated place on June 15.

For the winners, in addition to the generous prize money, the state will also use the food for some formal occasions.

When Yu Zhaodi asked what kind of formal occasion it was, he kept silent. Even so, she knew everything.

Because Chu Mubai's leg injury was almost healed, she didn't let her entourage accompany her when she came over this time.

But just now, after Yu Zhaodi's pressure, although he said that it was okay, Yu Zhaodi couldn't rest assured that he would leave alone, so he offered to send him home.

"I must see you return to Chu Mansion with my own eyes to feel at ease."

Seeing her so insistent, Chu Mubai had no choice but to agree.

The two didn't talk much along the way, and Yu Zhaodi helped him walk all the way back to Bian Cheng.

Bian Cheng is still as lively as ever, with busy traffic, people coming and going, and all kinds of shouting and selling are endless.

As soon as she entered the city, Yu Zhaodi helped Chu Mubai to walk to the east of the city, and when she was about to reach the east of the city, a man and a woman came to meet her, the man was extremely handsome, and the woman was gentle and graceful, looking a little familiar.

If you look closely, aren't those two Situ Xuan and Xia Youhe......

The two walked side by side, Xia Youhe shook three times in one step, and from time to time she had to lean on Situ Xuan. Yu Zhaodi secretly wondered, when did these two get together?

She suddenly remembered Chu Mubai beside her, and hurriedly wanted to pull him into the path next to her, but his steps seemed to be nailed, and she couldn't pull it no matter how she pulled it.

And the two people who came also saw them at this time, and the four of them stood opposite each other, their eyes facing each other, and the looks in their eyes were different.

Situ Xuan was the first to see Yu Zhaodi and Chu Mubai, and when Xia Youhe felt his strangeness, she found that Yu Zhaodi and Chu Mubai came hand in hand, which made her secretly happy in her heart. More intentionally or unintentionally, he pulled Situ Xuan to this side.

She moved her body to Situ Xuan's side again, and looked at Yu Zhaodi defiantly, her eyes were full of pride. Completely unnoticed, Situ Xuan took a step back to the side without a trace.

Yu Zhaodi felt Chu Mubai's body beside her suddenly shake, and instinctively clenched his hand, afraid that he would fall down if he couldn't stand it.

Situ Xuan stared fiercely at Yu Zhaodi's and Chu Mubai's hands clasped together, with an unclear look in his eyes.

Among the four, Chu Mubai's expression was the most sad. (To be continued.) )
