Chengfeng, who was being held in his arms, let out a howl.
Yue Jiaojiao rubbed its paws and chuckled. “Let’s go and see what he’s doing.”
The woman and the tiger sneaked to the door of the room and bumped into Zhao Zhan, who was coming out of the room in a panic.
“Jiaojiao.” Zhao Zhan was afraid that she would mention what had happened just now again. He quickly took out the silver hairpin from his arms. “I found this on the top of the mountain today. It should be yours.”
“Mine?”
Yue Jiaojiao took the hairpin and examined it carefully. “Judging from the workmanship, it should be made by an experienced artist. The stamen on this hairpin and the silver thread used are of excellent quality. When I’m free tomorrow, I’ll go to the jewelry shop in town and ask about it.”
“Every trade has its own way of doing things. We don’t understand these things, so we won’t get any results even if we crack our heads.”
“I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Zhao Zhan said nervously. “I toldLi Miao to stay in the village for a day tomorrow. I’m going to visit the shop with Fang Tianliu tomorrow.”
Zhao Zhan told his lover about the matter he had discussed with Fang Tianliu today in detail.
“Although Fang Tianliu has always been a little unreliable, he’s still pretty good to his friends,” Yue Jiaojiao followed Zhao Zhan into the kitchen and moved a small stool to sit at the door. She said in a low voice, “Although the taste of soy milk and tofu pudding is different from tofu, we still have to let Manager Li know about this.”
“Wangshan Town is only so big. A dish costs a few silver, and there are only so many people who can afford it. Even if it’s something new, it should be sold to its full capacity after such a long time.”
“Haven’t you noticed that our share of the silver has been decreasing recently?”
“It’s exactly because I found out that I wanted to open a shop with Fang Tianliu,” Zhao Zhan said as he put a fire into the stove. “Dried bean curd is better, but tofu goes bad quickly. It’s not worth it to send a large number of people to Huai County for a plate of tofu.”
“Zhao Zhan, you’re really someone who’s born to do business. In the past, you only hunted. It’s a bit of a loss,” Yue Jiaojiao praised him gently, staring seriously at Zhao Zhan’s figure as he worked.
That night, Zhao Zhan made three of Jiaojiao’s favorite dishes, adding a little red chili to each of them.
After dinner, he accompanied his lover to walk around the courtyard a few times to digest her food as usual. Then, he prepared a bath for her.
“Zhao Zhan, where are the travel books you bought for me today?”
Yue Jiaojiao had just finished her bath, and her pretty face was flushed pink from the heat. Zhao Zhan never dared to look at her at this moment. When he heard her question, he quickly handed over the travel book.
Afraid that she would continue to ask more questions, Zhao Zhan hurriedly ran out to take a bath.
By the time he was done and returned to his room, Yue Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep with the book in her hand.
Zhao Zhan stealthily covered her with a blanket, then took out his own blanket and laid it on the ground. Only then did he sneakily open the book under the light of the oil lamp.
“I’ve caught you!”
Hearing the voice, Zhao Zhan hurriedly stuffed the book into the blanket and sat up.
How could the contents of this storybook be like this?!
His head was in a mess. He sneaked a glance at her, who was sitting on the bed and smiling slyly. His hand under the blanket clutched the script tightly.
How could he let this kind of thing taint his wife’s mind?
The matters between men and women could be done like that in the novels?
If the girl in the book was Jiaojiao then…
Zhao Zhan hurriedly shook his head.
Yue Jiaojiao asked in a soft voice, “Zhao Zhan, what are you hiding under the blanket?”
