Yu Youyao pursed her lips. “Why have you grown so much taller?”

Yin Huaixi lowered his head and saw the little girl leaning obediently in his arms. Her head had just reached his chest, making her look slender and petite.

Quanzhou was in the south, and their people were a little shorter than the northerners. The women were generally about 1.6 meters tall, making them look petite and exquisite.

Yu Youyao had taken after her mother, Madam Xie. She had been petite since she was young. Even if she was a little chubby, she did not look clumsy or fat.

Instead, she looked even more delicate and cute.

Yu Youyao looked depressed. “After arriving in Liaodong, I’ve become a shortie. When I go out for a walk, everyone is taller than me. Dong Mei has changed my hair into a high hairstyle, and I wear a small crovvn. The embroidered shoes I wear outside have also been changed to double-layered soles.’

Yin Huaixi pursed his lips tightly, but the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He estimated that the little girl was about 1.56 meters tall. At this speed, she would be around 1.63 meters tall by the time she was 16 years old.

Seeing that he was silent, Yu Youyao was a little angry. She looked up at him. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think I’m short too?”

The little girl’s eyes widened as she stared at him with an unfriendly expression. Yin Huaixi’s tiger body trembled. “Southern women are generally 1.56 meters to 1.63 meters tall, about the same height as you. This is called being petite and exquisite. You’re still young. In the future, you’ll grow taller.

In a few years, you’ll definitely be taller than many southern women.”

Thank you, she wasn’t comforted. “Will I be taller than short women?”

Yin Huaixi’s scalp went numb. “Military Advisor Huang and General An Yuan were born and raised in the mountains. They also have Ruzhen bloodline. They’re tall and strong. Don’t just think that I’m tall. Compared to them, I’m still a little inferior.’

Emperor Gaozu had personally conquered the north and scattered the Ruzhen race on the grassland. The Ruzhen race was forced to move south and settle down in the area of Anshan. In order to win people’s hearts, Emperor Gaozu had given the Ruzhen race autonomy.

Later, the Ruzhen people married local Han people and integrated into Han

However, the people in the Anshan area still maintained the habits of living in the grassland. They liked to eat beef and mutton and were very tall and strong. The valiant nature of the grassland people flowed in their blood, and many people had joined the army.

Yu Youyao tried to think. What if Yin Huaixi, who was noble and virtuous, had a handsome face and a stocky build?

In the next moment!

She was shocked by herself and suddenly shivered. She quickly shook her head vigorously to expel the “cold” image in her mind.

The scene was too beautiful to look at.

Yin Huaixi let go of her. He did not pay much attention to dogma, nor was he a person who followed the rules. His little bit of self-restraint was used on her.

He quickly changed the topic. “Are you used to living in the Yu Garden?”

“It’s quite good.” Yu Youyao did not dwell on it anymore and nodded. “l heard from Uncle Sun that the feng Shui layout in the Yu Garden was meticulously arranged by you. I’m not unaccustomed to it.”

Seeing that she looked good, Yin Huaixi asked, “Howe s your health?”

“I’ve been staying in the Yu Garden all day and Nanny Xu is taking care of me. What’s wrong with that?! On the other hand, you…” Yu Youyao glared at him angrily and said angrily, “Your eyes are green and black. Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve had a good rest?”

Yin Huaixi felt that he was in the wrong and tactfully shut his mouth.

Seeing his guilty expression, Yu Youyao stomped her feet in anger. “Didn’t I tell you that although your leg has recovered, your body has been crippled for many years? You have to take advantage of your youth to recuperate well before you can completely recover. Why didn’t you listen?”

Yin Huaixi quickly said, “It’s not that I didn’t listen to you. I’m using the incense medicine you prepared for me every day.”

Yu Youyao was angry and her heart ached. She couldn’t help but feel a lump in her throat and her eyes turn red. “Don’t push yourself too hard. I’ll be able to help you gather a batch of medicinal herbs and food soon. The matter of settling the refugees can wait a little longer.”

A smile appeared in Yin Huaixi’s eyes. “Alright, I’ll rest in Xiangping for three days before leaving for Longcheng.”

He had originally planned to set off for Longcheng tomorrow morning.

Yu Youyao did not expect him to leave so soon. She was a little disappointed. Thinking of Yin Huaixi’s conversation with Yin Yi just now, she guessed that the situation in Longcheng was far from stable.

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and quickly said, “By the way, are you hungry? You’ve been back for so long. Have you eaten? I’ll arrange for the servants to prepare a bath for you first, then I’ll go to the small kitchen to make some simple food for you. Have some snacks first to fill your stomach.

Don’t be hungry…”

As she spoke, she turned to leave…

Yin Huaixi suddenly held her hand. “Get the servants to prepare!’

Yu Youyao was a little hesitant. She was worried that the servants would not prepare well.

Yin Huaixi pulled her to the bed table at the side. “Stay and accompany me for a while.’

Yu Youyao could only nod. She quickly called Chun Xiao over and instructed her to go down and prepare a bath and food. Considering that Yin Huaixi had been on the move, she repeatedly emphasized that the food had to be light and appetizing.

“l brought you a gift.” Yin Huaixi smiled and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He lifted the handkerchief, revealing a silk-patterned jade bracelet on it.

The jade bracelet was delicate and smooth, with a flawless luster. It was as white as suet and as yellow as dried tangerine peel. The rarest thing was that the dark color had already reached the color of chicken blood. It was thick and pure.

Yu Youyao was pleasantly surprised. “What jade is this?”

“It’s a river millstone jade produced by Xiuyan.” Yin Huaixi held her left hand and put the silk-patterned jade bracelet on her wrist. “It has five colors, namely white, yellow, orange, red, and pastel orange. It’s a rare colorful flower jade. You can admire it.”

The jade mines in Xiuyan were rich in resources and produced the most jade materials, so the value of the jade was low. However, old jade like the river millstone jade had already reached the quality of Hetian Jade, so it was still very expensive.

Meanwhile, the colorful jade was born from the essence of the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon. It was the best of the best.

The jade bracelet was stuck in between his thumb and index finger. Yin Huaixi pressed his hand and easily pushed the jade onto Yu Youyao’s wrist. It was the right size.

“It’s really beautiful.” Yu Youyao fiddled with the silk-patterned jade bracelet in her hand happily. A complete piece of jade was made into three separate and intertwined jade hoops. Each jade hoop was only a little thicker than a noodle strand. When the three jade hoops were intertwined, they did not look clumsy. Instead, they exuded a dexterous and meticulous beauty.

“l didn’t expect you to know the craftsmanship of silk-patterned jade. I heard that this craftsmanship is about to be lost.” She shook her wrist gently, and the three jade hoops seemed to come to life, wrapping around her fair wrist and making a light and pleasant sound.

An entire piece of jade was used. The jade was dug out bit by bit to empty the core. When it came to this kind of craftsmanship, one also had to be picky with the material. As long as there was the slightest flaw, the jade material would directly crack during the carving process..
