Chapter 15: The scene is a bit awkward

The scene in Chapter 15 is a bit embarrassing

When Wei Ruo first entered the Yingzhu Garden, Wei Ruo saw the piece of light bamboo. At that time, the light bamboo shoots had not emerged yet.

When I came here today, the bamboo shoots were already as long as her arm, and if I didn’t eat them, I would grow old.

Wei Jin was also forced to stop writing again, and looked up at Wei Ruo: "It's up to you."

The expression on his face showed alienation and indifference, and he agreed entirely because he didn't want to talk to Wei Ruoduo.

"Okay, thank you second brother, I will return you a plate of delicious bamboo shoots in a while!"

Wei Ruo thanked him, then ran to the piece of light bamboo, and broke off all the well-grown light bamboo shoots.

Then ran back to the small kitchen.

There was a constant aroma coming from the small kitchen, and Xiao Bei, who was not very focused, swallowed while grinding ink.

Hey, the young master's concentration is really good, such a strong fragrance can't affect him, and the writing is still so steady.

Unlike him, he was not hungry at first, but smelling this fragrance, he felt that his Wu Zang Temple was the first to raise the white flag.

After a while, Wei Ruo and Xiumei came out.

Wei Ruo was holding a tray, and on the tray were several dishes with unknown seasonings, and Xiumei was holding a steaming big pot, and the aroma was emitted from that pot.

The two of them entered the pavilion, Xiaobei was taken aback: "Miss, what are you doing?"

"Let's eat hot pot with you! First put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table." Wei Ruo aimed at the only stone table in the pavilion.

Now that stone table is full of Wei Jinyi's Four Treasures of Study.

"You can take it home and eat it yourself, I don't need it." Wei Jin also coldly refused.

"No, I said I have your share, and I keep my word. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just taking advantage of you for nothing? I don't like taking advantage of others."

As the saying goes, it’s not difficult to borrow and repay. She will borrow the small kitchen in Yingzhuyuan in the future. If she doesn’t start today, it will be difficult in the future.

"Besides, I cooked for four people. If you don't eat it, the rest will be wasted! These seafood are caught by fishermen risking their lives, and they can only be worthy of them if they are eaten well."

Serves for four? Xiaobei was surprised, he still had his share? He is a servant...

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo, wondering what he was thinking, as if he wanted to refute Wei Ruo, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, he chose to compromise, got up and cleaned up the books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table, freeing up the stone table.

Xiumei immediately put the pot on the table, seeing the layer of bright red oil on it, Wei Jin also frowned.

Then Wei Ruo set out the dishes: "My secret dipping sauce, the second brother must try it."

The main ingredient of the dipping sauce is her secret soy sauce, with a little chopped green onion and a little mashed garlic. It tastes fresh and sweet, and it's just right for dipping seafood.

Wei Jin also frowned even more as he looked at the small dish with unknown contents in front of him.

"Second brother, try it, it's really good, I won't lie to you."

Under Wei Ruo's repeated urging and expectant eyes, Wei Jin finally moved his chopsticks in order to deal with Wei Ruo.

I picked up a small piece, put it in my mouth, and tentatively and slowly chewed a couple of mouthfuls.

After a while, Wei Jinyi suddenly coughed violently.

Wei Ruo quickly poured water: "Slow down, drink some water."

Wei Jin also drank a glass of water. Before he stopped coughing, Wei Ruo patted him on the back again.

After a while, Wei Jinyi finally recovered.

His complexion became rosy due to coughing, and two touches of blush fell on his fair skin, making him look more energetic.

Wei Jin also put down his chopsticks: "You guys eat."

This... embarrassing...

"Why don't you try it again? The choking just now should be just an accident. If you try a few more times, you will discover its beauty."

"No need." Wei Jin also sternly refused, this time his attitude was very firm and there was no room for maneuver.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Wei Jin didn't say much either, just got up and went back to the house expressionlessly, leaving Wei Ruo, Xiumei and Xiaobei behind.

Xiaobei explained to Wei Ruo with a face of embarrassment: "Miss, don't worry, my young master usually eats relatively light food, and he can't eat a lot of food."

"It's because I didn't think carefully, next time I will get him something else delicious." Wei Ruo said.

Is there a next time? Xiaobei's eyes widened.

In the end, Wei Ruo and Xiumei ate most of the pot. They were so full that they couldn't eat any more, so they had to leave some.

Wei Ruo rubbed his belly, leaving Xiumei to clean up the mess after the meal, while he went back to Tingsongyuan, took a roll and put it in Wei Jinyi's pile of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

After Wei Ruo went back, Wei Jin came out of the room again, put the books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone back on the stone table, and resumed reading and writing.

After putting everything back on the stone table, Wei Jin also saw a roll of paper inside that didn't belong to him.

After unfolding, the cold white smooth and delicate paper is obviously different from other papers on Wei Jinyi's desk.

"Where did this paper come from?"

"Oh, it seems that the eldest lady brought this over. She said it was an apology for you."

"This is the paper from Sibaozhai." Wei Jin also looked at the paper with deep eyes.

"Sibaozhai? Isn't that the piece of paper that the master gave the young master before? I remember the master said that it was given to him by a colleague. There were only ten pieces of paper in total, and I gave you and the young master five each. I also heard that the young master used After I bought it, I thought the paper was very good, so I wanted to ask someone to buy it, but Sibaozhai was in Huzhou Prefecture, so I couldn’t buy it because it was too far away. Then how did the young miss have this paper?” Xiaobei looked surprised.
