Chapter 15: The scene is a bit awkward

The first time into the welcome bamboo garden, Wei Ruo saw the light bamboo, that time the light bamboo shoots have not yet sprouted.

When I came here today, the light bamboo shoots were already as long as one of her arms, and they were going to get old if she didn’t eat them.

Wei Jinya was once again forced to stop writing and looked up at Wei Ruo, “Whatever.”

The look was as detached and cold as possible, agreeing that it was entirely because he didn’t want to talk to Wei Ruo much.

“Okay, thank you, second brother, I’ll return a plate of fragrant bamboo shoot meat to you in a moment!”

Wei Ruo said thank you, then ran towards the piece of light bamboo and broke off all the light bamboo shoots that had grown just right.

Immediately afterward, he ran back inside the kitchenette.

The aroma kept coming out of the small kitchen, and the not-so-stable Bei gulped as she studied the ink.

Hey, the young master’s determination is so good, such a strong fragrance can’t even affect him, and his strokes are still so steady.

Unlike him, who wasn’t even hungry yet, he felt like his gutters were the first to raise the white flag at the smell.

After another moment, Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei came out.

Wei Ruo was carrying a tray, on which rested several plates with unknown seasonings, and Xiu Mei was carrying a steaming cauldron from which the aroma emanated.

When the two entered the pavilion, Xiao Bei froze, “Eldest Miss, what are you doing?”

“Eating hot pot with you guys! First, put away the pen, ink and paper on the table.” Wei Ruo aimed at the only stone table inside the pavilion.

That stone table was now filled with Wei Jin Yi’s literary treasures.

“Take it back and eat it yourself, I don’t need it.” Wei Jin also coldly refused.

“No, I said I’d have a share of you, and I’m a man of my word. Otherwise wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you for nothing? I don’t like taking advantage of others.”

As the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow and return, she will have to borrow the small kitchen of Yingzhuyuan, if this head is not opened today, it will be difficult later.

“Besides, I cooked it for four people, so if you guys don’t eat it, the rest will go to waste! These seafood are the ones that the fishermen risk their lives to go out and catch and come back, so it’s only fair to them if you eat it properly.”

A four-person portion? Xiao Bei was shocked, there could actually be a share for him? He’s a subordinate ……

Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo and didn’t know what he was thinking, it seemed like he wanted to refute Wei Ruo but didn’t say anything.

After a few moments, choosing to compromise, he got up and cleared away the books, ink and paper from the tabletop, vacating the stone table.

Xiu Mei immediately put the pot on the table, and seeing the layer of bright red oil on it, Wei Jin also frowned.

Then Wei Ruo set out the bowls and dishes, “My secret dipping sauce, second brother must try it.”

The main ingredient of the dipping sauce is her secret soy sauce with a little bit of scallion and a little bit of garlic paste, which is sweet and flavorful and just right for dipping seafood.

Wei Jin Yi looked at the small plate in front of him that held something unknown, and his frown tightened.

Seeing that Wei Jin Yi was hesitant to move his chopsticks, Wei Ruo used clean chopsticks to clip a piece of fish out, put it into the plate in front of Wei Jin Yi, wrapped it in the dipping sauce, and then asked Wei Jin Yi to taste it.

“Try it, Ergo, it’s really good, I won’t lie to you.”

Under Wei Ruo’s repeated urging and expectant gaze, Wei Jin Yi, who was trying to cope with Wei Ruo, finally moved his chopsticks.

After chucking a small piece and placing it in his mouth, he took two tentative, slow chews.

A moment later Wei Jin also suddenly coughed violently.

Wei Ruo hurriedly poured water, “Slowly slowly, drink some water.”

Wei Jin also drank a cup of water, his coughing hadn’t stopped yet, Wei Ruo helped pat his back again.

It was only after a few more moments that Wei Jin Yi slowed down.

His face became flushed from coughing, and two reddish haze fell on his fair skin, looking a little more energetic.

Wei Jin also put down her chopsticks, “You guys eat.”

This …… awkward ah ……

“Why don’t you try it again? Choking just now should just be an accident, you’ll realize how wonderful it is if you try it a few more times.”

“No need.” Wei Jin also sternly refused, this time with a very firm attitude, without any room for maneuver.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Wei Jin also didn’t say much and directly got up and went back to the house expressionlessly, leaving Wei Ruo, Xiu Mei and Xiao Bei behind.

Xiao Bei explained to Wei Ruo with an embarrassed look on her face, “Missy, don’t mind, my young master, he usually eats a light diet and can’t eat a lot of food.”

“It’s my fault for being ill-considered, next time I’ll get him something else delicious.” Wei Ruo said.

There’s a next time, huh? Kohoku’s eyes widened.

In the end it was Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei who ate most of the pot, ate until they were too full to eat, and had no choice but to have some left over.

Wei Ru touched his stomach, leaving Xiu Mei to clean up the mess after the meal, he went back to listen to the Pine Court, took a roll of Zhang over to the pile of ink, paper and inkstones in Wei Jin Yi.

After Wei Ruo went back, Wei Jin also came out from the room again, put the books, ink, paper and inkstone back to the stone table, and read and wrote again.

After everything was put back on the stone table, Wei Jin also saw a roll of paper inside that didn’t belong to him.

When unfolded, the cold white smooth and delicate paper was distinctly different from the other papers on Wei Jin Yi’s desk.

“Where did this paper come from?”

“Oh, this seems to have been brought over by Missy, she said it was a reparation for you.”

“This is the paper of the Four Treasures.” Wei Jin Yi’s eyes became deeper as he looked at the paper.

“Four Treasures? Isn’t that the same paper that Master had given the young master before? I remember the master said it was given to him by a colleague, only ten sheets of paper in total, and gave you and the young master five sheets each. I also heard that the young master used it and thought it was particularly good, so he wanted to ask someone to buy it, but the Four Treasures is in Huzhou Prefecture, so it’s too far away to buy it. Then how did the eldest young miss have this paper?” Xiao Bei was astonished.
