Chapter 369: Burnt White Porridge

"Look, this is the porridge I cooked, a fragrant ......"

After a while, Zou Youheng came out with a bowl of porridge, his eyes full of pride. It was his first time cooking.

"Uh, why is there something black in this rice?"

Ye Xiaoyu glanced at the bowl in front of him and looked up and asked.

"Uh, this, I guess it's your rice, right?"

Zou Youheng went in and brought himself a bowl again, sat opposite Ye Xiaoyu, and replied a little weakly.

"You liar, this is obviously your scorched ......"

After taking a sip of porridge, Ye Xiaoyu directly poked it.

"Oops, it's good for a bachelor to wake up and someone cooks for you, and it's too much."

Zou Youheng also scooped it with a spoon, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it tasted good, except for a little burnt.

"That's good?"

Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips, scooped a spoon and handed it to Zou Youheng.

Seeing this, the person on the other side once again showed innocent dog eyes.

"Okay, okay, Young Master Zou has a heart, I'll eat it, I'll eat it......"

couldn't stand Zou Youheng's innocent appearance the most, Ye Xiaoyu immediately compromised.

In fact, after lying on the table all night, she had a dry mouth, and when she saw the hot porridge, her appetite was already great. Although there is still a layer of burnt stuff floating on the surface of this porridge.

"I added sugar to it."

Zou Youheng laughed again.

"I know, I am really fortunate to be able to eat the porridge cooked by Mr. Zou himself."

The porridge in front of him had almost been eaten, and Ye Xiaoyu glanced up at Zou Youheng. Pi said with a smile on his face.

"By the way, you haven't told me last night, what the hell is going on with that Li Yan?"

Halfway through eating, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered.

I took a sip of wine last night, and after that I was confused and didn't ask anything.

"That Li Yan?"

Zou Youheng frowned inadvertently.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Nonsense, if you don't want to know about this, I won't agree to let you celebrate the New Year with me."

Because the other party is Zou Youheng, Ye Xiaoyu did not beat around the bush.

"Tsk! I said Ye Xiaoyu, you're too much, aren't you? Anyway, I made you breakfast this morning. ”

The person on the other side looked up. Full of grievances.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't speak. Just stared at him.

"Well, since you really want to know, that Li Yan is really not a good thing. How did Wang Huaiqing agree to marry Wang Yue'e to him in the first place? ”

It is estimated that he was glared at by Ye Xiaoyu, and Zou Youheng finally spoke.

"Supposedly at a very young age. The two of them decided to kiss the baby. ”

Since it's a serious speech. Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to hide it from him.

"Then that Mrs. Wang was probably greedy for money."

Zou Youheng put down his chopsticks. looked at Ye Xiaoyu with a serious face.

"That Li Yan was a down-and-out scholar before, I think you all know this, and we don't know how he became rich overnight. But one thing's for sureβ€”"

There was a pause. Zou Youheng continued to speak.

"After he was admitted to show his talent, that is, after he became rich, he indulged in fireworks alley every day, not only that, but also made a group of friends who can only eat and drink, and even, he raised several women outside, and I met four ...... alone"

In this way, this man is not exaggerating, and he is about the same virtue as you. You don't have to describe so much, just say that Li Yan's virtue is similar to mine, and I will understand. ”

Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to laugh at Zou Youheng.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm much better than him, at least I didn't mess around outside with my own lady behind my back."

"That's because you don't have your own lady yet."

Ye Xiaoyu continued, she just wanted to see Zou Youheng's depressed face.

"Hmph, I'm a once-in-a-millennium seed of infatuation, different from Li Yan."

Seeing Ye Xiaoyu comparing him with Li Yan, Zou Youheng's face was full of disgust.

"Besides, I don't have the money to raise so many ...... outside."

Inexplicably, this person's tone turned out to be a little lost.

"Isn't your father the prefect? I live in such a big house, and I spend all day in the land of fireworks, and now I am told that I have no money? ”

Ye Xiaoyu felt that Zou Youheng said this to her, mainly because she wanted not to pay back the five taels of silver.

"Tsk! You even know where I hang out in the fireworks, huh? Could it be that Ye Xiaoyu, you are also a frequent visitor there? ”

Once again, the hippie smiles and hangs the child.

"Oh, take the bowl and wash it!!"

Too lazy to waste time with Zou Youheng again, Ye Xiaoyu pushed the empty bowl on the table in front of him.

Since you don't pay back the money you owe, you should do some coolies.

This time, Zou Youheng was unexpectedly quiet, stood up silently, took two bowls, and took them to the kitchen.

Her head was still a little dizzy, but she clearly remembered that she had only taken a sip at the time, and she didn't know what the wine was made of, and the stamina was so great. Fortunately, Zou Youheng was also drunk, otherwise, Ye Xiaoyu was really worried that his identity would be discovered by him.

"Oh, by the way, Li Yan's virtue, does Yue'e know?"

In the middle of the conversation just now, the topic was deviated, and as soon as it quieted down, Ye Xiaoyu realized that she had missed the most important item.

"Even if you don't know it at first, you'll know something later. Because Li Yan is not shy about it at all, he is even looking for it outside in a bright way. ”

Zou Youheng leaned sideways, poked his head out of the kitchen, and the half pear vortex on his face loomed, if it wasn't for the last time in the alley, Ye Xiaoyu felt that he actually looked pretty good, and even, from a few angles, it was a bit like sunny.

"Is Yue'e running away from home because she can't stand Li Yan messing around outside?"

This reason also makes sense, but Ye Xiaoyu always feels that something is missing.

"It's possible."

Zou Youheng said while washing dishes in the kitchen.

"I don't know him too well, it's just because Li Yan is now the city ordinance. I have to find the prefect for many things, and I come to our house frequently, so I have only met a few times. The above news is all sued by those sons. ”

City ordinance?

The official position in charge of business and trade in Rongzhou City is not only powerful, but also has a lot of oil and water, that Li Yan is just a showman, how can he sit in this position?

"Did your father appoint him with the city ordinance?"

On the first day of the first lunar month, Ye Xiaoyu felt that this was a good time to listen to the news.

"Of course not. Although the prefect is quite a big official. But it has no power to appoint other officials. This Li Yan. It seems that the backer is a certain big official in the capital, he got a talent out of thin air, and he became a city bureau order for no reason, which is really strange. ”

Zou Youheng had already finished washing the dishes and walked out. saw that Ye Xiaoyu was still sitting in the original position. He felt a little sleepy inexplicably.

That last night doesn't count as sleep at all. Another thing came up in the morning, and now he seemed to be lying in bed and sleeping soundly.

But in Ye Xiaoyu's shop, it seems to be ...... Don't have a bed?

As soon as I heard "the big official of the capital". Ye Xiaoyu's heart was weak for a while. There are many big officials in Yuejing City, but she is always unconsciously associated with the Jia family, Jia Xiuyu's attitude towards chasing and fighting and killing everything, although Ye Xiaoyu is not afraid, but she feels irritable.

For people like Li Yan who are linked to the big officials in the capital, it is better to avoid contact in the future.

"Hey, Ye Xiaoyu, why don't you have a place to sleep in this shop?"

Zou Youheng couldn't sleep, but Ye Xiaoyu looked like he was out of sight.

"Ye Xiaoyu-!!"

"Huh? Oh, you say the bed? …… Why don't you go back to sleep?!! Where do I have a spare bed here for you to sleep on!! ”

Ye Xiaoyu, who came back to his senses halfway through speaking, yelled at Zou Youheng.

"I'm so far away from home, I'll be awake when I walk over......"

Zou Youheng looked aggrieved again.

"It's my business!"

"I also helped you find Wang Yue."

"That's Wang Huaiqing's business, you go to him!"

"I'm really sleepy right now......"

"What's my business?"

"I made you breakfast and washed the dishes this morning."

"Uh......"

Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was really unproductive, so she was defeated by Zou Youheng, looking at the invincible and pitiful dog eyes, although she was full of reluctance, she still took out the bed board and shelf in the cabinet, and then yelled for him to lay it himself.

"It's so comfortable to be able to lie down, there's still a place here, Ye Xiaoyu, do you want to come over?"

Wrapped in thick clothes and lying on the bed, Zou Youheng looked at Ye Xiaoyu with a satisfied expression.

"Shut up and go to bed or get out!"

Ye Xiaoyu glared at him fiercely.

In fact, she was a little bit wanted to lie down and rest for a while because of Zou Youheng, but there was only one bed in the whole shop, and only the space in the counter could be placed. Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt that her life could be so difficult.

But after fifteen, the open space at the back door should be covered, which should be able to change this dilemma.

Zou Youheng was already standing on the wooden bed, the shop was not open, the porridge was drunk again, and Ye Xiaoyu was a little idle. After saying some words just now, the dizziness has eased a lot, but the sleepiness is like a wave, hitting her head in waves, although the bed is gone, but there are many tables in the shop, I went to the cabinet and got a thickened and lengthened cotton jacket, Ye Xiaoyu lay on the table and planned to sleep.

There is no charcoal basin in the shop, but it seems to be quite warm with such a thick cotton jacket......

*

In the hall of the Wang family's compound, Wang Huaiqing was sitting and chatting with Li Yan. Because Lin was sleepy, he casually found a reason, did not come out to meet the guests, and slept comfortably in the bed.

"Big brother, when are you going to go back to the capital this year?"

Li Yan took a sip of hot tea and asked with a smile.

"The shop has a fixed shopkeeper to take care of it, so it doesn't matter if I go there myself or not."

The Wang family's pharmacy in Yuejing was previously managed by Wang Huaiqing himself, but every time he went back and forth between Yuejing and Rongzhou, not only did he have a lot of money, but also spent a lot of time on the road, so later Wang Huaiqing hired a shopkeeper to manage it in Yuejing, so that he only needed to go twice a year.
