"Yingying, this dish..." Ye Shuhua frowned. These dishes were so bitter that it was really hard to swallow...

Song Ruoxi said without raising her head: "Don't eat or sleep."

Ye Shuhua pursed her lips, and the chopsticks in her hand were unsteady on the dishes. She gritted her teeth and picked up a piece of roast duck meat with sauce and put it in her mouth. It was still bitter. Seeing that Song Ruoxi was eating chicken, she stretched out the chopsticks. Before she could hold them, she was opened by Song Ruoxi's chopsticks.

"You don't have any food, so why do you want to snatch my food?" Song Ruoxi swallowed the rice in his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

"These dishes are so bitter." Ye Shuhua looked at the plate of chestnut chicken with a full range of color and flavor.

Xiangduo and Mint, who were serving the side, smirking with their lips. The dishes cooked with yellow lotus water are not bitter?

"Tering hardship is practicing. Didn't you drink the bitter tea you just now?" Song Ruoxi ignored his longing eyes.

"Yingying." Ye Shuhua pretended to be pitiful.

"Eat quickly." Song Ruoxi turned his head away and had a firm attitude.

Seeing Song Ruoxi's attitude, Ye Shuhua knew that it would be impossible not to eat it, so he had to pick up a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth. He didn't chew it, so he swallowed it hard. However, the duck meat was a little larger, and he almost choked.

Song Ruoxi served a bowl of soup and handed it to him, and said considerately: "Drink a little soup quickly and swallow it, don't choke."

Ye Shuhua took the bowl, took a big sip, and spit out with a "wow", his face wrinkled, "This... what kind of soup is this?"

"This is a new dish, Huanglian Pigeon Soup, is it delicious?" Song Ruoxi asked seriously.

"Huanglian Pigeon Soup?" Ye Shuhua came to his senses, "Does Huanglian be all put in these dishes?"

"Hmm." Song Ruoxi answered correctly, adding a ten-thousand expression.

Ye Shuhua asked in confusion: "Why do you need to put yellow lotus into the dish?"

"Huanglian is good. Huanglian can clear the mind and improve eyesight, relieve fire and detoxify, and also improve practice."

"Why don't you eat?" Ye Shuhua was not fooled.

"I don't need it. My heart is clear and my eyes are clear, and I have no fire or poison. I have good practice."

Ye Shuhua looked at her with questioning eyes, "No, it must be something. To be honest, why should you give me bitter vegetables?"

"Why?" Song Ruoxi narrowed his eyes, "You, slowly think about the reason while eating bitter vegetables."

"Yingying, what did I do wrong? Tell me, I'll change it." Ye Shuhua put down his chopsticks, his mouth was bitter, and he had no appetite at all.

Song Ruoxi said with a stern face: "I asked you to think about where you were wrong. If you refuse, will you still change it?"

Ye Shuhua thought for a while and asked tentatively: "I ate these bitter vegetables, will you not be angry?"

"Are you bargaining with me?" Song Ruoxi stared at him with a bad look.

Ye Shuhua shook his head quickly, not daring to say more, and honestly ate bitter vegetables to think about problems. Under Song Ruoxi's gaze, he ate half a plate of roast duck meat, one-third of the stewed mushrooms, two stewed cabbage rolls, one-bowl of pigeon soup, and three bowls of rice.

After dinner, Xiangduo and Mint served hot tea and retreated. Ye Shuhua opened the lid of the cup in fear and smelled it. It was not the bitter tea I had drunk before. After two sips, he pressed down the bitter taste of his mouth.

"Have you figured it out?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"Are you angry that I went to see Sister Ping?" Ye Shuhua thought that this day, except for seeing Ping'er in Xiyuan in the morning, he had been dealing with city affairs in Wenlan Pavilion. This is the only thing that might make Song Ruoxi angry.

Although the idiot was not too stupid and knew that the problem was, Song Ruoxi became even more angry. He reached out and twisted the flesh on his waist and said, "I'm not angry that you go to see her, but that you believe in those loopholes and go to see her."

"Yingying, I didn't believe that I went to see Sister Ping when I didn't believe that I went to see Sister Ping when I didn't believe that I went to see Sister Ping when I didn't believe that I went to see Sister Ping when I did." Ye Shuhua's speech speed increased a lot in an instant.

"I don't believe you're still going to see her. Have you missed her for so long? Cardamom came to stop you, and he just gave you a legitimate opportunity!" Song Ruoxi's men tried their best, and they were very excited to twist the piece of meat off.

Ye Shuhua was so painful that he blew up and held Song Ruoxi's hand, "No, I used to want to know why Sister Ping slandered your reputation."

"You went over and found that she slandered my reputation, why didn't you punish her?" Song Ruoxi did not use any more force, but did not let go.

"Miss Ping is young, and she speaks without any conscience. I have asked Madam Cui to teach her the rules." Ye Shuhua said righteously.

Song Ruoxi was very dissatisfied and asked: "I have always asked Madam Cui to teach her the rules before. What kind of punishment do you think are you?"

Ye Shu is choking with Chinese words.

Song Ruoxi snorted coldly, let go of his hand, and asked, "Do you know why she deceived you by slandering my reputation?"

"She doesn't want to learn the rules and wants to use me to escape the teachings of Madam Cui." Ye Shuhua was very annoyed and was used.

"It's that simple?"

Ye Shuhua asked in surprise: "There are other reasons?"

Song Ruoxi pondered for a moment, and felt that it was better not to make it clear about Ping'er's admiration for him. Her eyes turned slightly and said, "You don't need to know the reason. Remember, as long as it is a girl's house, no matter what reason they use, you are not allowed to see them alone."

"I didn't go to see Sister Ping alone. I took Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Anzi, Ziwen and Ziwu with me." Ye Shuhua defended.

"Even if they are brought with them, you can't see them. If they have anything to do, please let them come to me. Women will talk to women better. What do you know, a man, don't mix things up, do you know?" Song Ruoxi sets the code of action for him and strangles the source to death. No matter how troublesome those women are, they will not cause trouble.

"I understand." Ye Shuhua came to her with a flattering smile on her face, "Then are you not angry now?"

Song Ruoxi raised his head, turned around and left.

Ye Shuhua reached out and grabbed her, "Yingying, you gave me so much hardship just now. Now it's okay. You should always give me some sweetness for me to taste."

Song Ruoxi turned sideways, threw a charming look at him, and said coquettishly: "Husband, I feel uncomfortable today and can't serve you. Just bear it!"

Ye Shuhua was hooked by her charming eyes and was moved. He hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her lips, rubbed her intimately, and sucked slowly and long. However, Song Ruoxi was inconvenient, so Ye Shuhua started a fire by herself, so she could only put out the fire by herself. She soaked in the bath for half an hour, and then crawled out.

Song Ruoxi leaned against the head of the bed and smiled wickedly: "You seem to need to relieve the fire. Why not continue to eat the dishes made by Huanglian tomorrow?"

"I'm not afraid of the bitterness and sweetness." Ye Shuhua threw her nightgown on the hanger, blew out the candlelight, lifted the quilt to the bed, hugged Song Ruoxi in her arms, covered her with the quilt, and warned her, "Sleep well, don't tease me again."

Song Ruoxi spat lightly and said, "Who teased you? You are not determined enough, so you forced me to kiss me and even turned around."

Ye Shuhua's face was slightly red. In terms of words, he could not say that she was so he just closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning, the couple still went to Danning House to pay tribute to the Lord of Zhaoping County. After the formulaic greetings and chats, Ye Fan took Ye Shuhua away, and the father and son walked side by side.

"I heard yesterday that Yuxian asked her maid to go to the Good Doctors Bureau to receive half a pound of Huanglian. What's the use of her asking for Huanglian?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Ye Shuhua said with a bitter look: "Cooking tea with yellow lotus, boiling duck with yellow lotus, stewing mushrooms with yellow lotus, filling cabbage with yellow lotus, pork ribs with yellow lotus, pigeon soup."

Ye Fan felt bitter in his mouth as he heard it, "Is this all for you to eat?"

Ye Shuhua nodded.

"Why?" Ye Fanren asked with a smile.

"Huanglian can clear the mind and improve eyesight, relieve fire and detoxify, and improve practice." Ye Shuhua dared not say that Song Ruoxi was intentional to rectify, for fear that Ye Fan would blame her, so he added, "I like to eat Huanglian, and it won't be very bitter if I eat it."

"Puff, cough cough." Ye Fan laughed out loud, and then coughed twice in a concealment, and said seriously: "This woman is too jealous, it's not a good thing."

"Yingying's work is reasonable and intentional." Ye Shuhua didn't think that there was anything wrong with Song Ruoxi's efforts to endure hardship.

Ye Fan glanced at Ye Shuhua, and said, his son had been caught and he was newly married again. Let them go first and then talk about it later.

On the other hand, the Zhaoping County Lord was also asking Song Ruoxi about the half-pound of yellow lotus. When he learned that he had made a meal of yellow lotus vegetables for Ye Shuhua to eat, the Zhaoping County Lord couldn't help laughing and pointed at Song Ruoxi and said, "You are so arrogant and slutty girl, you are so good at teasing people!"

"I won't know how to do it in the future." Song Ruoxi sighed inwardly. Without any privacy, things that are big in sesame will spread.

The Zhaoping County Lord smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Shuhua should suffer some hardships so as not to be deceived."

Song Ruoxi was surprised, "Don't your mother feel sorry for her son?"

"Mom is not old and confused. You have to take care of your boudoir fun. Besides, you are a person of sensibility, so I don't feel sorry for that brat." County Lord Zhaoping smiled.

Song Ruoxi relaxed, hugged the arm of the county lord Zhaoping, and said coquettishly: "Mother is the best!"

The Zhaoping County Lord was very helpful in his intimate behavior towards Song Ruoxi, and gently patted her cheek.

Three days later, it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Yefan sealed the seal. Unless a sudden war or a major disaster occurs, the seal will not be opened by the fifth day of the first lunar month, and all city affairs will be suspended.

Although Ye Shuhua was empty, he was unable to be with Song Ruoxi every day. As the newly appointed young lady, Song Ruoxi had to follow the Zhaoping County Lord to learn how to prepare for the New Year's New Year's banquet and the New Year's banquet for the New Year, and he had no time to pay attention to him. He had to go to Hanjing Hall to copy the scriptures quietly. After copying, he was sent to Amitabha Temple outside the city.

On the 24th day of the 12th lunar month, during the Chinese New Year, all the four gardens were decorated with lights. The two families of Ye Xiaoan and Ye Xiaoshun who moved to the Duke's Mansion entered the city early in the morning.

During the New Year, we have to worship the Kitchen God. We follow the custom of men not worshiping the moon and women not worshiping the kitchen. Women do not need to go to worship the sacrifices, and drink tea, chat and play cards in the side hall of Qiushuang Hall.

Mrs. Li, who was confined, did not attend. Ping'er, who had been studying the rules for half a month, sat honestly beside her. Dou Zi and Pea Dou. Her confidant maid, Cardamom, had been demoted to the washing department to wash clothes. Cui Xing asked the Lord Zhaoping County and Song Ruoxi respectively for the punishment. Zhaoping County Lord Zhaoping decided that Song Ruoxi had no objection.
