Chapter 139 1 Poor and Penniless, Relying on Marriage to Become Empress 3
After resting for more than half a month, Wei Mingyu's body had basically recovered. On this day, she walked out of the room with her light blue robe on, ready to feel the fresh air outside.
When Wei Mingyu stood at the door, he found that the room he lived in was on the second floor. Looking to the side, the entire yard was hidden deep in the bamboo forest.
In the distance, large tracts of emerald green bamboo forests surrounded the courtyard, layer upon layer as if there was no end. She raised her head slightly, and all she saw was lush green, and the colors of the entire spring seemed to be melted in it, without distinction.
Wei Mingyu leaned against the railing and looked into the distance. He had the illusion that he was in a secluded paradise. He felt as if his whole body and mind were cleansed and calmed.
"Xiao Yu, you should wear more clothes, otherwise I will be responsible if you get sick." Wu Rong walked up and saw the girl coming out. Her thin clothes stuck to her slender body, as if they would be blown away by the wind at any time.
After half a month of getting along, they had already exchanged names. Wu Rong felt that three words were too many to pronounce, so he simply gave her a nickname.
He walked quickly into the room, took out the cloak, and carefully put it on the girl.
"You have been recovering very well recently. You should not need to apply medicine today. But look at your face, it is as pale as a ghost. People who don't know would think I am abusing you. Don't be picky about food. Although the food cooked by Master is not delicious, it will not kill people..." Wu Rong talked a lot and stood honestly in the wind to block the wind for her.
Wei Mingyu listened to him quietly, without a trace of impatience on her face. Her focused and gentle gaze made the young man unable to stop talking.
She has been so bored these days. If Wurong hadn't come to talk to her every day, she would probably have gotten sick from boredom.
Wu Rong unknowingly poured out everything in his heart, even secretly telling the girl the bad things he said about his master, and he immediately felt much better.
At the end, he seemed to remember something and added, "One of my junior fellow apprentices will be back in the next two days. Don't pay attention to him. Just ignore him if you see him."
"Okay." Wei Mingyu responded slowly.
After Wu Rong finished speaking, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply stood upstairs with her to enjoy the scenery.
The early spring wind blew the fallen leaves past the ears of the tall young man, and then slowly fell on the ground where new buds grew, covering the color of hope.
Another gust of wind blew, and the blue headband tied behind the handsome young man's black hair rustled, dancing in the air like a flying blue butterfly. Finally, the wind stopped and the end of the headband fell down, touching the girl's fair face, bringing a hint of itchiness.
"Xiaoyu, do you know how to tie my hair? Can you help me make a nice style?"
The girl raised her white fingers to hold the messy hairband, looked at the young man who turned his head and smiled at her, and said with some emotion: "It is said that only the wife can touch the man's hairband, I wonder if it is true?"
"Ah? Is there such a saying?" Wu Rong originally wanted to tease the girl, but he didn't expect her to suddenly say this.
He hurriedly pulled back his hairband and pushed his hair to his shoulders away from the girl.
Wu Yue, who was about to go to the kitchen to cook downstairs, stopped and silently tied the moon-colored hairband hanging behind her ear shorter.
Wei Mingyu, leaning on the railing, easily spotted the man with light eyes and wearing a white robe downstairs. She raised the corners of her peach-pink lips, and her shallow dimples were faintly visible.
"Let me cook today." Wei Mingyu turned around and went downstairs. The cloak behind her completely wrapped her petite body, making her look small and extremely cute.
Wu Rong imitated the girl's original posture, leaning against the railing and looking at her back. His eyes, which were originally covered with a faint smile, became calm.
Wei Mingyu walked towards the kitchen, reciting the recipe in his mind, thinking about what dishes to cook next.
She would suggest to Wu Rong that she cook by herself, not because she liked cooking so much, but mainly because the cooking skills of the other two people except her were barely passable. The food was not delicious but not bad either. She was so hungry these days.
When he passed Wu Yue, he followed and said in a gentle tone: "Let me help you, it will be faster this way."
"Okay." Wei Mingyu was happy to have someone to join him.
"What are you going to cook today? There are many dishes in the kitchen that should satisfy your needs."
Wu Yue looked down from above and could see that the girl had two small bun-style buns on her head, tied with blue bands, which made her look very cute.
Wei Mingyu didn't notice his gaze and counted on her fingers: "I want chicken, boiled pork slices, steamed spareribs..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She seemed to see herself eating a table full of delicious food. Her almond-shaped eyes, as clear as lake water, were sparkling and full of longing.
Wu Yuexu pressed his fist to the corner of his lips to hide his smile, but it was obviously unnecessary because the faint smile had already leaked out through his beautiful eyes.
Wei Mingyu looked up and saw it but didn't care. She was young now and could be cute and likable no matter what she did as long as she didn't overdo it.
It was not until she reached the kitchen that she understood what Wu Yue meant by a complete range of dishes.
All kinds of ingredients that she had seen or had not seen were placed on the large long table, even shells, fish, shrimps and other seafood from the sea. She had no idea how they were transported here, but judging from their freshness, she guessed that they had been caught no more than half a day ago.
"It's still a bit cold these days, so why don't we have hotpot?" Wei Mingyu originally wanted to show off his cooking skills and give them a feast of delicious food, but when he saw the wide variety of dishes, he felt like he would be letting himself down if he didn't have hotpot.
Besides, the weather is too cold now, so the food will get cold easily no matter how fast you cook it.
"Hot pot?" Wu Yue murmured in confusion, then looked at her and said, "Since you are the one cooking, of course it's up to you to decide."
“Can you guys eat spicy food?”
Wei Mingyu took out a basket and asked while selecting ingredients.
Wu Yue thought for a while, and then spoke in a gentle voice: "Wu Rong can eat spicy food, but I can't eat anything too spicy. It's okay if everything is spicy, I can rinse it in clean water before eating it."
Wei Mingyu looked up at him, her almond eyes full of helplessness. "You don't need to sacrifice your taste to please others in this matter. Just make a clear soup base and a dipping sauce. Anyone who likes spicy food can just put some in with chopsticks."
There is no ready-made double-flavored hotpot now, otherwise you can just make one spicy and the other not spicy to cater to both tastes.
Wu Yue was stunned. For the first time, the corners of his mouth that usually maintained a gentle smile could not be raised. He frowned, and his amber eyes that were as dazzling as the stars were filled with a hint of inexplicable emotion.
By the time Wei Mingyu noticed that the man behind him had stopped and looked at him in confusion, he had already restrained his emotions and could not see anything wrong.
