Chapter 157: Burned twice

Shen Yuexi left Xiao Zhuo alone in the room thinking, then got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

There was a light snowfall last night, and the air in the morning was particularly fresh.

She remembered that Xiao Zhuo had written a letter of guarantee before, but she didn't know where she had thrown it. She probably still remembered the content. If Xiao Zhuo failed her, she would let her leave freely without stopping her.

The reason why this guarantee letter was lost was because she knew in her heart that this kind of thing had no binding force at all.

If a man cares about her, there is no need to use any tricks. On the other hand, if a man's heart is not with him, no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless.

Xiao Zhuo must figure this out for herself. All she can do is never hand over her most precious thing before she is sure of Xiao Zhuo's feelings. She cried after being eaten up by a man and wiped clean. In her opinion, that is Stupid woman.

She liked Xiao Zhuo. Otherwise, she would not have missed him when he left. There is no doubt about this relationship.

She also knew Xiao Zhuo's feelings for her and understood her position in his heart. Now all she needed was for Xiao Zhuo to get rid of what he considered to be orthodox ideas.

If you think about it carefully, there is no second choice for a wife like me.

He could go to the hall and the kitchen, and he could help Xiao Zhuo in battle. He could make medicine, invented the repeating crossbow, and built cities... Apart from his natural weakling attributes, he couldn't change it.

Where can I find such a virtuous wife? Hum... Ouch!

Just as I was lost in thought, my fingers were burned by the hot steam sprayed from the cage.

Shen Yuexi quickly pulled her hand back and saw that her skin was burnt red.

She quickly blew air on her fingers.

Just after blowing twice, a big hand stretched out from the side and held her small hand. Xiao Zhuo's voice sounded: "Is it burned?"

"Hmm... um... it hurts."

Shen Yuexi nodded, biting her lower lip and inhaling hissingly.

It didn't hurt just now, but why did it hurt in the blink of an eye? It was true that the fingers were connected to the heart, it was like a knife was gouging the fingers, and tears almost fell.

"I'll take you to Dr. Hua." Xiao Zhuo didn't say anything, just picked her up and walked out the door.

"No, no, put me down." Shen Yuexi shouted quickly, "I can treat it myself."

Just kidding, it was just a burnt finger, and she still needed to go see Dr. Hua. Making such a fuss would make outsiders think she was a hypocritical person. She didn't want to give that impression to others.

"Husband, help me pinch two icicles." After Xiao Zhuo put her down, she looked up at the long ice skating pole hanging under the eaves.

She couldn't reach that high, so Xiao Zhuo didn't even stand on tiptoes. He stretched out his hand and broke off the two largest ones: "Here."

Shen Yuexi took the icicle and held it between her burned fingers.

There was a cold feeling between my fingers, and the pain suddenly eased a lot.

"This is called ice compress, which can reduce edema." She held up the ice and waved it playfully in front of Xiao Zhuo's eyes. "There is no need to find a doctor. When the ice melts, I will break off two more sticks for me. It's just breakfast..."

It means that I can’t do it because my hands are burnt, so let Xiao Zhuo do it.

Xiao Zhuo was waiting for an answer when the sound of horse hooves came from outside the yard. It sounded like there were dozens of horses. Then Meng Yue's voice sounded outside the door: "My lord, Meng Yue has returned with his army. I have come here to deliver my order."

When Shen Yuexi saw a general coming, she gently pushed Xiao Zhuo with her hand and said, "I'll do it, husband."

In this situation, it would be foolish to ask your husband to cook.

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly and reached out to touch the top of her head.

Shen Yuexi entered the kitchen and worked slowly with her good hands. She heard the sound of armor clattering in the yard, and Meng Yue, Song Zhen and others were talking to Xiao Zhuo. They said "On the line between life and death, Xirong suddenly withdrew its troops", "The armies gallop day and night" and the like.

She felt in her heart that Xiao Zhuo was really powerful.

He rushed back to save the Langya Pass, successfully made Xirong retreat, and saved the Xiliang cavalry trapped in the north.

Of course, her contribution is also here. If she had not delayed Xirong's attack, Xiao Zhuo would not have been able to rush back in time. But even if she had such a magical tool as Big Bear, it would be impossible to do what Xiao Zhuo did.

With such a powerful husband and such an outstanding wife, if he gives birth to a baby, will he become an eternal wise king in the future?

No, you can't give this man any sweetness before he makes his mind clear.

Ouch!

She was lost in thought and used her hands to lift the lid of the pot. She repeated the same mistake and was sprayed with steam again.

Fortunately, the spray was not on the injured hand this time, but on the good hand... I happened to have two ice cubes on hand, so I applied ice on each hand.

Shen Yuexi held the ice and sat on the small stool in front of the stove to reflect.

What's wrong with me? Why do I keep thinking about Xiao Zhuo in my mind? I can get distracted even while cooking.

Look down at your clothes again.

In order for Xiao Zhuo to firmly believe that he is only good to her, it is not enough to just ask for his guarantee or to wait passively. He must actively show his charm.

First of all, do you need to be more particular about what you wear?

In her previous life, she wore a researcher's white coat for three-quarters of the three hundred and sixty-five days a year. She never paid much attention to what she wore.

This cannot be the case now and needs to be changed.

There is no war anymore. She can no longer dress so casually. She must take the initiative and ask Daxiong to make her an exquisite dress, so that Xiao Zhuo can't take his eyes off it. Let him see what an outstanding wife Xiao Zhuo has and what kind of wife he has. What kind of concubine are you looking for?

Just what color to choose?

Xiao Zhuo likes to wear moon-white clothes, but she can't wear white or matching shirts. But if she wears too bright colors, she will steal the spotlight from her husband... It's really troublesome. I have no experience in this area.

Also, is my figure a bit thinner? I don’t know what Xiao Zhuo likes. Would it be better if she was a little fatter? Do you want to find out in a roundabout way? No, Xiao Zhuo obviously likes her, otherwise he wouldn’t So fussy.

Thinking of the intimate scene between the two, her face became hot again.

"Mother, mistress?"

Yang Cong's voice rang in her ears.

Shen Yuexi turned around and met Yang Cong's face full of question marks.

"Ah, Yang Cong, you are back."

"Mother, what are you laughing at while holding two sticks of firewood? The water in the pot is almost gone. Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise the pot would have burned out."

"What kind of firewood?" Shen Yuexi lowered her head and saw that she had two pieces of firewood in her hand.

"Yang Cong, look at my hand, it was accidentally burned just now." Shen Yuexi stretched out her hand to Yang Cong with some embarrassment.

Yang Cong looked at her hands and said with some distress: "Mother, I will cook. You should go back to the house and rest quickly. By the way, I saw that the master rewarded General Meng and Military Advisor Song each with a plate of silver. "

"A plate of silver!"

Shen Yuexi jumped up all of a sudden.

Where did Xiao Zhuo get the gold and silver? Could it be that she gave the money from selling garlic capsules to Meng Yue and the others?

She left Yang Cong in the kitchen and hurried back to her room, ignoring Xiao Zhuo who was sitting there, and dragged out the small box under the bed. Every time the shopkeeper of Dongji Town Pharmacy came to give money, she happily took it Put the silver into this box.

During the dragging process, I felt that the box was much lighter. When I opened it, I saw that only half of it was left.

Shen Yuexi wanted to cry but had no tears.

The most painful thing for a money-lover is to lose all the money you have saved.

This Xiao Zhuo had previously swore that all his money would be given to her, saying that all his money belonged to her alone. But in the end, he didn't give her anything, and all the money she had saved was given away.

She stood up and looked at Xiao Zhuo with an angry pout. Two oil bottles could be hung on it.

"Yue Xi, I borrowed this." Xiao Zhuo said calmly, "Leading troops to fight and asking the soldiers to fight for you without any reward will mean that no one will sacrifice their lives for you."

In fact, Shen Yuexi also knew that what Xiao Zhuo said was right. Everyone followed him for nothing more than fame and fortune. If there was no reward at all, it would seem that the lord was not generous enough to pick out the money. As for her, be more generous and just lend money.

But the interest rate is very high.

Thinking of this, her mood improved again. She sat across from Xiao Zhuo and said with a smile: "These silvers can be used by your husband at will. But the interest rate is very high."

Xiao Zhuo asked with a smile on his face, "How much?"

Shen Yuexi raised a finger seriously.

"one cent?"

"Wrong, it's ten points." Shen Yuexi laughed happily.

If it is one hundred taels of silver, she will be given two hundred taels after one year. In the second year, the compound interest will be calculated as 400 taels, and in the third year, it will be calculated as 800 taels... After ten years, it will be one hundred thousand taels, which is a huge profit. ah.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuo didn't even frown and agreed happily: "It's a deal."
