Adorable Food Goddess

Chapter 17 You Must Lose

Hearing Ye Jiayao come back humming, Xia cChun, who was crouching on the couch, closed his eyes and said lazily, "It's so noisy."

Ye Jiayao kept her mouth shut, and secretly hid the money in the cabinet. This is her private money, so keep it safe.

Xia Chunyu opened one eye and saw her, she looks like a thief, what good thing is she hiding?

"Go get me a cup of tea."

"Aren't you sleeping? Still drinking tea." Ye Jiayao muttered and poured water for him.

"I want Longjing."

Ye Jiayao twitched her lips, she really had a lot to ask for, but who would let someone be an uncle, Ye Jiayao had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get hot water.

As soon as she went out, Xia Chunyu got up and went to open the closet, reached out to feel for it, and took out a handful of broken silver, weighed it, it was about five taels. Isn't this the amount lost last night? Where did she come from? Could it be that they asked Song Qi that they wanted to come back?

Xia cChun thought that she couldn't sleep because of her heartache last night, she could really do this kind of thing. Really bad card skills, poor gambling products. Xia Chunyu snorted contemptuously, put the silver in his pocket, and lay back on the couch like a normal person.

"Chunyu, here comes the tea."

Xia Chunyu got up and took the teacup to the study.

Ye Jiayao stood behind the Shijin partition and looked around, seeing that he took out the map to study again, so she tiptoed to open the closet, just now she thought about it, it would be better to hide the money under the bed.

Huh? What about silver? Ye Jiayao couldn't touch it, she clearly remembered that it was hidden here. It's broken, he must have discovered it, why is this guy such a thief!

Do you want to get it back? Why not ask for it? Although he helped pay the debt, she managed to win it back by herself, and it belonged to her. After some psychological training, Ye Jiayao confidently went to ask for money.

"Chunyu, did you take something I put in the closet?" Ye Jiayao asked softly, trying to soften her tone.

Without raising his eyebrows, Xia Chunyu said calmly, "What is it?"

"silver."

"Where did you get the money?"

"I... I won it." Ye Jiayao was a little lacking in confidence.

Xia Chunyu finally raised his eyes to look at her: "It happens that you still owe me five taels of silver."

Uh, how could there be such a fluffy man?

"That's what I won with my own intelligence and hard work, okay, at least you have to give me half of it!" Ye Jiayao said angrily.

Xia Chunyu was speechless, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Oh? With your ingenuity? Then tell me, how smart are you? Let me see."

"It's rock-paper-scissors. Don't underestimate this simple game. There is great wisdom in this little game. If you don't believe me, let's play a game. If you lose, you return the money to me. If you win, it's yours." Ye Jiayao said angrily. Think, this is already her biggest concession.

"This is mine in the first place, why should I bet with you." Xia Chunyu ignored her and continued to look at his map.

Ye Jiayao sat down and said sadly: "When I was at home, I was supposed to have a monthly allowance of three taels of silver, but my stepmother always found reasons to deduct it, sometimes saying that this month is not enough to make ends meet, sometimes saying that I am afraid that I will discuss it, so I gave it to you." People plan to go, or simply say they forgot, give something together next month, but never make up for it, I am too embarrassed to argue with her for a few taels of silver, and my sisters don’t even have me for new clothes and jewelry For this, my grandmother brought me good things, but they couldn't reach me..."

"When I was twelve years old, I had a serious illness. My father was working in Wuzhou Prefecture, and my stepmother didn't ask me for a doctor. In the winter, people who were burned were confused. The nanny made cold compresses for me, and she was afraid that the moisture would enter my home. My body got worse, so I had to go to the yard to freeze myself and come back to hug me to reduce my fever, and toss back and forth all night."

"Maybe God has pity on us. After dawn, I finally stopped the fever, but my nanny has been suffering from the root of the disease since then. When the weather changes, the joints of my whole body hurt... I heard that the knee pads made of tiger skin are the best for keeping warm. I have always wanted to buy it for my nanny." One pair, but it costs a lot of money. My money is not enough, so I keep procrastinating and procrastinating. Last year, the nanny was raised, and the stepmother dismissed her like a beggar. I want to give her more money so that she can settle down. I can’t even spend my old age, this time I married in Shandong, I thought the hard times were finally over, but who knew I was robbed to the mountain again... In this life, only the nanny is the best to me..."

Ye Jiayao seldom searches for the original owner's memories, because those memories are not happy. She is optimistic by nature and doesn't like to remember the bitter past. Now, in order to impress him, she recalled it carefully. The more she said it, the more sad she felt. Originally saving money was just to prepare for escaping, but now that she is talking, she feels that if she has the ability in the future, she must repay the nanny well.

Xia Chunyu was stunned, he had heard her mention her nasty stepmother more than once, did she really have such a miserable life? Seeing her sad look, it doesn't seem like she is fooling him.

Ye Jiayao was immersed in unbearable memories, and her mood fell to the bottom. Suddenly, she thought of one thing. The stepmother has always been so picky and never treated her kindly. Why did she buy her such a generous dowry this time? Not only did he give her all the makeup from his grandfather's family, but he also gave her his own private house, which doesn't make sense! To please the Wei family? Not so! Why was she abducted alone in the wedding party, with no loss of property or anything? Is there something tricky here?

Thinking of this question, Ye Jiayao forgot about asking for money, got up silently and went back to the bedroom, sat on the couch and continued to think hard, if she could visit Wei's house, maybe she could solve all the mysteries.

Seeing her leaving silently, Xia Chunyu felt a little uneasy. He took the money away not because he was stingy, but because he didn't like her seeking money in this way. If she wanted money, she could ask him generously.

Xia Chunyu thought for a while, put away the map, put it in the cabinet and locked it, followed her, put the money on the low table in front of her, and said: "Repay the money to you, and ask me directly for the money in the future, don't touch it." What a twisted mind."

Ye Jiayao snorted in her heart, is this a crooked mind? Neither stealing nor robbing, you bandits always rob others, so what should you say?

Ye Jiayao drooped her head and said dejectedly: "Forget it, I think, I will never see the nanny in my life, so what do I need these money for?"

Seeing her like this, Xia Chunyu was not used to it, and comforted him: "Who knows what will happen in the future! Take it first! If there is a chance and you have no money, wouldn't you regret it again?"

Ye Jiayao deliberately hesitated for a long time before putting away the money.

Xia Chunyu snorted coldly, and warned: "Don't play rock-paper-scissors with others."

"Oh!" Ye Jiayao nodded obediently, and then asked again: "Then can I play with you?"

Xia Chunyu twitched at the corner of his eyes: "I'm not that boring."

Ye Jiayao wrinkled her nose: "Are you afraid of losing?"

Xia Chunyu gave her a disdainful glance: "I will lose?"

Do you think I'm two idiots, Song Qi and Peng Wu?

Ye Jiayao chuckled: "I promise you will lose."

Xia Chunyu was aroused to be competitive: "What if I win?"

Ye Jiayao thought for a while and said, "If you win, how about I give you a massage at night for a quarter of an hour?"

A picture appeared in Xia Chunyu's mind, he was leisurely leaning on the couch reading a book, she knelt aside, pinched his legs and beat his back with her soft and boneless hands, and smiled flatteringly at him from time to time. Well, the bet is kind of interesting.

"Two quarters of an hour." Xia cChun stretched out two fingers to bargain.

Ye Jiayao hesitated for a moment: "Okay, two quarters of an hour is two quarters of an hour, but what if you lose?"

Xia Chunyu said generously: "If I lose, I will give you another five taels of silver."

Ye Jiayao's eyes immediately glowed green: "Deal, come on, let's decide the outcome."

The muscles on Xia Chunyu's face twitched unnaturally. What does it mean to open eyes when seeing money? This is what she looks like.

A moment later, a certain person was rolling on the couch with a smile on his face while holding ten taels of silver, and a certain person went out with a dark face.

Peng Wu cautiously followed behind the third master.

"Peng Wu."

"exist."

"You and Song Qi lost to your sister-in-law?"

Peng Wu said honestly, "All the wins last night were taken back by my sister-in-law."

"What did you produce?"

"Hammer." Peng Wu said disconsolately.

Uh... Xia cChun was puzzled, what he produced was also a hammer, what's going on? coincidence? Or had she cast some spell on them? Otherwise, why should she have such an expression of winning and not losing? It seemed that he was expected to produce a hammer.

Peng Wu wondered, could it be that the third master also lost to his sister-in-law?

"Third brother, third child..." The second master walked towards him.

Xia Chunyu went forward to meet him: "Second brother."

"Third brother, I was going to look for you. The spy we sent to Xinyi came back, but he was seriously injured and couldn't go up the mountain. Brother asked us to go down the mountain immediately." The second master said.

The matter was urgent and urgent, Xia cChun immediately told Peng Wu: "Go back and tell your sister-in-law."

Ye Jiayao got the message and asked, "Did you say when you'll be back?"

Peng Wu said: "I didn't say anything, but I'm going down the mountain at this time, and I won't be able to return until tomorrow at the earliest."

Ye Jiayao was secretly happy that she was finally free tonight.

After dinner, Song Qi and Peng Wu went to double button with someone, the yard was empty, Ye Jiayao was a little scared, and hid in the room early, with the doors and windows closed.

After a long night of sleepless nights, Ye Jiayao ran to the study, looking for a book to read. Yesterday she took Chunyu's rattan paper to make poker, and Chunyu issued a ban, not allowed to enter the study room without his permission. However, since he is not here tonight, she is only here to find a book, she will not rummage through it, he will not know.

There are not many books on the bookshelf, there are a total of more than a dozen books, all of which are inscrutable art of war. Ye Jiayao flipped through them and couldn't understand them, so she put them back.

By the way, the map, if she wants to escape, she must have a map, otherwise her eyes will be darkened, and she won't know where she is going.

Ye Jiayao started to look for the map, but couldn't find it after searching, and finally her eyes fell on the locked cabinet, probably locked inside. Ye Jiayao was discouraged, and slumped on the chair, slandering: I hate it, why lock it up.

Pick up a pen holder to play with, this bamboo pen holder is very delicate, carved with exquisite twelve zodiac signs, lifelike. Ye Jiayao turned back and forth, but she didn't know where she bumped into. With a click, the base and the barrel body separated, revealing a piece of paper folded into a small square.
