Chapter 134 Liu Yiyi

Ye Jiayao asked anxiously: "Then, besides the doctor, has anyone else entered my room?"

Jiang Yue said, "It's just me and my mother. My mother is so distressed to see you like this. When I was sick, she was not so nervous. She sat by the bed, wiping her tears and muttering for a long time."

Uh...it turns out to be Aunt Jiang.

"By the way, Sister Yaoyao, you must be hungry! My mother has some millet porridge cooking. I'll go get it for you."

Ye Jiayao nodded and touched her stomach: "I am a little hungry. I will make ice cream later after eating."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Ice cream, my brother and I have already made it. I made it according to your recipe."

"Really?" Ye Jiayao was a little surprised. In fact, she had already taught Jiang Yue how to do it, but she didn't expect her to be so self-conscious.

"However, I'm not sure whether it will taste good. The quantity is the same as in the previous few days." Jiang Yue was a little unconfident. After all, it was the first time she completed it without Sister Yaoyao's supervision.

Ye Jiayao encouraged, "Have confidence in yourself. You can do it. In a few days, when I have more free time, I will teach you how to cook. When I open a restaurant in the future, you can be my manager."

She had this plan in mind a long time ago. If she wanted to open a restaurant, she had to have someone she could trust. Jiang Yue was an ideal candidate and had a talent for cooking.

She has always believed that no matter what job one does, success is a gift from God and requires talent and hard work.

"Really?" Jiang Yue was delighted.

"Of course it's true. Have I ever gone back on my word?" Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Jiang Yue said happily: "I'll go get some millet porridge and crack two eggs into it."

"Hey... No, people with a cold can't eat eggs."

"Huh? Why?"

This question is difficult to explain. It is best to consume less high-protein when you have a cold.

"I don't know either. I heard it from a doctor." Ye Jiayao said.

After eating her fill, she continued to sleep until dawn. Ye Jiayao got up and found her best clothes, the moon-white silk robe. She was going to meet the most beautiful courtesan among courtesans, Liu Yiyi, so she had to dress up nicely.

Before I even left the house, Xiao Jing came to report.

"Yaoyao, are you feeling better?" Xiao Jing had two panda eyes and a face full of anxiety and worry.

Ye Jiayao spread her hands: "I'm fine! Hey? What's wrong with your eyes? It looks like you haven't slept for three days."

Xiao Jing covered his eyes and said guiltily: "It's all because of me that you got sick."

"Speaking of this, I have to have a good talk with you. You said you are a landlubber, and you dare to jump into the water to save people? If I am not a good swimmer, even I would be dragged under the water and drowned." Ye Jiayao told him seriously that she was really scared by him the night before. If he had an accident, would she still be alive? Wash your neck and wait for others to chop it off.

Xiao Jing said softly: "I was also in a hurry at the moment."

"You are so anxious, next time before you do something, think about whether you can do it or not."

"I know, don't be so fierce!" Xiao Jing looked at Ye Jiayao with aggrieved eyes. Only he could stand such a fierce woman.

"Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm leaving now and it's time for you to go to the Ministry of War." Ye Jiayao called Jiang Li and prepared to go out.

"Yaoyao, are you going to see Liu Yiyi tonight? I have rented a houseboat this time and I will take you to see her." Xiao Jing said flatteringly.

Uh... this question...

Ye Jiayao pulled Xiao Jing aside and whispered, "Are you still saying those weird things?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly shook her head and said she would not tell him for the time being. She was forced to jump into the river last night. She would tell him next time when she had the chance.

"Okay, wait until I finish work." Ye Jiayao patted his shoulder.

The scene tonight was even more lively than the night before. It was simply a hunting and beauty extravaganza. Almost all the noble sons and playboys from wealthy families in Jinling City were present.

Because Ye Jiayao finished work late, by the time she arrived, the pleasure boat could only circle around the periphery.

"Then I can't see it, right?" Ye Jiayao craned her neck to look around.

Xiao Jing said, "It's okay, I'll ask the boat in front to make way."

"Boatman, raise the lanterns of Prince Helian's Palace and ask the boats in front to make way." Xiao Jing said loudly.

Yaoyao wants to watch the fun, so I have to let him have a good time no matter what. Today I’m going to be arrogant for once.

Sure enough, when they saw the lanterns of Prince Helian's Palace, the boats in front made way.

The pleasure boat sang loudly as it approached the water platform.

I only heard someone shouting: "Xiao Jing..."

Ye Jiayao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xia Chunfeng waving at them on a boat. Looking more closely, Zhao Qixuan, whom she hadn't seen for many days, was also there. Damn, this guy finally died!

Xiao Jing pretended not to hear and hid.

"Hey, what are you doing? Chunfeng is calling you!" Ye Jiayao looked at Xiaojing who was hiding behind the curtain in confusion.

"Come in quickly, don't let them see us." Xiao Jing pulled her.

"Why? Do you owe Chunfeng money? Are you afraid that he will ask you for the debt?"

"No, no, I'll tell you later." "What's the point of hiding? The big lantern is still hanging!" Ye Jiayao pointed at the lantern hanging high in front of the houseboat.

"Put it down, put it down quickly." Xiao Jing shouted.

Unfortunately, the environment here is very noisy and the boatman can't hear it at all.

Ye Jiayao leaned out to look: "Forget it, stop hiding, they are coming."

The pleasure boats came closer and put up a wooden plank. Xia Chunfeng, Zhao Qixuan and others walked towards this side as if they were walking on flat ground.

Xiao Jing sighed unhappily, and Ye Jiayao looked at him suspiciously: "You must have done something bad."

"Xiao Jing, you are so mean. You lied to me and said there was no boat. What is this?" Xia Chunfeng asked as soon as he got on the boat.

"Luckily, Lao Zhao got a boat, otherwise I would have been able to just watch from the shore."

Xiao Jing hesitated and said, "I didn't have it originally, but I got it at the last minute."

Humph, can’t I just live alone?

Ye Jiayao suddenly realized, that's how it is! This little brat is quite cunning.

The bruises on Zhao Qixuan's face had faded, and he had regained his elegant demeanor. He bowed to Ye Jiayao and said, "Li Yao, I wanted to come with you, but Xiao Jing said you were sick. Are you feeling better now?"

"In my opinion, Yaoyao is not sick at all. Xiaojing, you are so unfair!" Xia Chunfeng said with a wicked smile.

Xiao Jing blushed slightly and said in a bluffing tone, "She is sick. If you don't believe me, ask her."

Xiao Jing didn't lie about this. Ye Jiayao said, "It's just a cold. I sweated a lot last night. It's fine now."

Xia Chunfeng teased Xiao Jing for a while before he gave up. The two of them didn't leave and sat down to drink tea.

The topic returned to the Oiran election.

"Qixuan, which courtesan do you think will win this year?" Xia Chunfeng asked.

Zhao Qixuan waved his fan and said, "Of course, since Liu Yiyi is out canvassing for votes, it's natural that Miss Xiao from Zuichunfang has a greater chance of winning the first place."

"I think so too. I just looked around and this year's most beautiful flower is at best a morning glory. Liu Yiyi is the stunningly beautiful peony." Xia Chunfeng said.

Xiao Jing really wanted to interrupt, but he felt that it was better to act relatively ignorant in front of Yao Yao, so he did not express his opinion and just sat aside like a good child, listening without saying anything.

"Of course. I haven't seen a girl more beautiful and talented than Liu Yiyi in many years." Zhao Qixuan gave a very high evaluation.

Xiao Jing looked down on him. Liu Yiyi is pretty, but my Yaoyao wouldn't be much less beautiful when she dresses up. Bah, bah, bah, how can Liu Yiyi compare to my Yaoyao? My Yaoyao is the one with unparalleled cooking skills and the most beautiful girl in the world.

Xiao Jing glanced at Ye Jiayao who was listening attentively, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, his heart filled with joy.

Feeling Xiao Jing's strange gaze, Ye Jiayao glanced at him calmly, and Xiao Jing lowered his head to drink tea. The more sneaky he was, the more uncomfortable Ye Jiayao felt.

"Is she really that beautiful?" Ye Jiayao asked sourly.

Zhao Qixuan searched for a moment and organized his words: "How should I put it? It's not just about beauty, but that kind of temperament. What is meant by "coming out of the mud without being stained"? I think this sentence is most suitable for her."

It’s not that Ye Jiayao looks down on women who make a living by selling smiles. These women often have miserable life stories and are forced to do so. But when she thinks of that stupid donkey spending huge amounts of money, she dislikes Liu Yiyi in every way.

"That's right. A woman who can catch Xia Chunyu's eye must not be a simple commodity." Ye Jiayao's tone became even more sour.

But she doesn't think so.

Xia Chunfeng said awkwardly: "You heard about this too?"

Ye Jiayao sneered: "This is a story that will be passed down through the ages in Jinling City. It's hard not to know it!"

Zhao Qixuan laughed loudly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women, and Chunyu brother is no exception."

I spit on you, beauty, Ye Jiayao said disdainfully: "If you like her so much, why don't you help her redeem herself? Are you willing to let her continue to sell her smiles?"

Zhao Qixuan glanced at Xia Chunfeng and said, "Then you have to ask Brother Chunfeng."

Xia Chunfeng murmured, "How should I know? I haven't heard my brother mention this either."

Xiao Jing said faintly: "I guess your mother won't agree either."

"That's right. No matter how good Liu Yiyi is, it would be bad if she was brought back home. It would damage her reputation," said Xia Chunfeng.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but despise him again. Men are all heartless. When they are affectionate with you, they will say all the nice things, but they will forget them the moment they turn around. No matter how much a woman likes you, it is not as important as your own reputation and future.

This is the case with Liu Yiyi, is it the same for her as well?

He said that day that he would marry her, and she took it seriously at the time. But now thinking about it, how credible can these words be?

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd, and someone shouted loudly: "Miss Liu, Miss Liu..."

Even Xia Chunfeng and Zhao Qixuan stood up and said excitedly: "Liu Yiyi is here."

Ye Jiayao leaned over to look and saw a pleasure boat approaching slowly. The ethereal sound of a piano drifted in the night breeze, as if all the noise was washed away by the sound of the piano. The surroundings became quiet, and every pair of eyes looking at the pleasure boat became particularly hot.

Ye Jiayao was stunned. The sound of the zither was beautiful and very graceful. When she listened carefully, there seemed to be a hint of sadness hidden in it. Ye Jiayao was also full of curiosity and expectation. What did this woman, who was described by Zhao Qixuan as having the appearance of a peony and the temperament of a lotus, look like?
