Chapter 401 Why do you say one hundred yuan?
"What is stinky tofu? Is it edible?" Naya asked curiously. They didn't have this thing in Simon.

Xiao Jing likes this, but because it is too smelly, those self-proclaimed noblemen usually don't eat it, and if they do, they eat it secretly. Chunyu Ge is a person who will gag at the smell of this stench. He actually holds a bag of stinky tofu and looks like he is afraid that someone will snatch it away. Isn't this too strange?
"Stinky tofu is a snack. It smells bad but tastes good. As long as you dare to try it, I guarantee you will fall in love with it. However, most people dare not eat it and are deterred from trying it." Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"Ah... then I'll try it." Naya has always been bold, and when she heard about this challenging food, her interest suddenly increased.

Xia Chunyu said without hesitation: "No."

Naya felt embarrassed. She didn't expect Chunyu to refuse so bluntly. It was so embarrassing.

"Brother Chunyu, you are too stingy! Isn't it just a few pieces of stinky tofu?" Xiao Jing became more and more certain that there was something wrong here.

Chunyu is not a stingy person. Even if it is a rare treasure, he will give it to Naya as long as she asks. But he is reluctant to give a few pieces of stinky tofu. There is no doubt that Chunyu is in a hurry to buy stinky tofu. Who else can make Chunyu buy stinky tofu as if he is going to put out a fire? Who else can make Chunyu hold stinky tofu like a treasure?

There is no one else except Yaoyao.

Chunfeng touched his nose and looked at his second brother sympathetically: "Second brother, just tell me, you can't hide it anymore."

Xia Chunyu said angrily, "This is what your sister Yaoyao wanted to eat. She is pregnant and can't eat anything. She finally remembered to eat stinky tofu."

Xiao Jing and Naya were speechless and stunned for a long time before they came to their senses. They asked in unison: "Sister Yaoyao is pregnant?"

"Jinxuan is pregnant?"

"Don't tell anyone. She is suffering from severe morning sickness. She can't stand any smell. She hasn't eaten for several days. She is hanging on to life by the mouthful of water." Xia Chunyu said.

Xiao Jing danced with joy: "Oh, I'm going to be an uncle, that's great, this... this is a great joy! I have to go and congratulate her right away."

Naya nodded hurriedly: "It turns out that she was hiding at home because of morning sickness. I almost ran to Yangzhou to find her."

Xia Chunyu took a step forward to block Xiao Jing's way: "If you want to congratulate her, you should take a shower and change clothes before coming. You can't have any fragrance on your body, and you are not allowed to wear clothes that have been fumigated with fragrance, and you can't eat food with spices. Her nose is more sensitive than anyone else's now, and she will vomit when she smells something."

Xiao Jing was stunned: "There is such a thing?"

Xia Chunyu said in distress: "Haven't you noticed that I've lost weight recently? I eat vegetables, tofu and white rice every day. I don't even eat meat. What do you think?"

Chunfeng proved to his second brother: "It's true. No one in our family dares to use incense now. Even rouge and powder can't be used. That's why I kept it a secret from you. I thought I would tell everyone after my second sister-in-law's reaction is not so strong."

When Naya heard that she couldn't even use rouge and powder, she couldn't help but touch her face, smell her own fragrance, and said, "Forget it, I'll come to see her tomorrow."

Since the conversation had already been opened, Chunyu was not polite: "I have to send food to Yaoyao first, otherwise it will be unpalatable when it gets cold. It's pitiful that she hasn't had a good meal in more than ten days..."

After walking two steps, he turned back and said solemnly: "Remember, don't tell anyone, otherwise this and that will come to you and you will have to deal with them on your own."

Xiao Jing nodded with a smile: "I understand, I will definitely not tell you."

It's so great, Yaoyao is finally pregnant. She has taken so many medicines, and everyone has been looking forward to it for so long. The ancestors have been chanting sutras and praying for her in front of the Bodhisattva every day. Now, her wish has finally come true. If the ancestors knew this good news, they would definitely be so happy.

However, in order to let Yaoyao recuperate, let’s keep it a secret for now!
Ye Jiayao leaned weakly on the couch, listening to the noise outside, swallowing her saliva. Where on earth did this guy go? Did you know that your son is almost starving to death?
Qiao Xi was also standing at the door looking out, hoping with great anticipation that the prince would soon return.

"Yao Yao, Yaoyao..."

Suddenly Chunyu's shout was heard outside.

Qiao Xi said happily: "My Lord, you are finally back."

"You must be waiting impatiently. Hurry up! It's still hot!" Xia Chunyu hurriedly handed the stinky tofu to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi brought it to the Second Young Madam.

Ye Jiayao complained: "Why did you take so long?"

Xia Chunyu wiped his sweat, partly because he was in a hurry and partly because Xiaojing had just made him anxious.

"I went there at an unlucky time. The old man's stinky tofu was sold out, so I went to his house to get it and fried it ready. Thanks to Xiaojing's horse, otherwise, it wouldn't have arrived by now."

So that’s what it is. Ye Jiayao felt relieved. It wasn’t that Chunyu was complaining, but that the stinky tofu was sold out.

As soon as the paper package was opened, the unique aroma of stinky tofu wafted out. Ye Jiayao took a deep breath. It smelled so good...

For the first time in more than ten days, I felt like I had a good appetite.

"Give it to me quickly..." Ye Jiayao became impatient.

Qiao Xi quickly filled the plate and handed over the chopsticks.

Ye Jiayao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. She found that the skin was crispy, the inside was tender, and the fragrance was overflowing. It was so delicious, it was simply the most delicious delicacy in the world!

Xia Chunyu and Qiao Xi both looked at her nervously, ready to catch her spittoon if she vomited. Unexpectedly, Ye Jiayao ate piece after piece, enjoying it very much.

Xia Chunyu's heart was at ease. For the first time, he couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Yaoyao eating. It was not easy!

These days, seeing Yaoyao unable to eat, sleep well, and vomiting at every turn, his heart ached! He wished he could take her place in the suffering, but he couldn't. This feeling of anxiety and helplessness could drive a person crazy.

He even thought that if it continued like this, he might as well not have the child.

"Yaoyao, is it delicious?" Xia Chunyu asked cautiously.

Ye Jiayao nodded while eating and said vaguely: "It's delicious. I want to eat this."

Xia Chunyu said happily: "That's good, I have already made an agreement with the old man selling stinky tofu, and asked him to send a hundred yuan every day."

Ye Jiayao's eyes widened. One hundred yuan a day? She was a pig. How could she eat so much?
I immediately felt full and couldn't eat any more.

Ye Jiayao put down the bowl and looked at him resentfully: "Why did you say one hundred yuan? Why?"

Xia Chunyu was puzzled: "What's the matter? It's rare to find something you want to eat, so of course the more the better."

Ye Jiayao wanted to cry but had no tears: "But when I heard the price of one hundred yuan, I suddenly didn't want to eat it anymore."

Xia Chunyu opened his mouth, but found that he had lost the ability to speak. He really didn't know what to say. It was bad enough that a pregnant woman had a weird taste, but why couldn't she even speak nonsense?

How can I get through this?

Xia Chunyu quickly tried to remedy the situation: "Then should I ask him to send ten dollars?"

"No, I have no appetite anymore. I don't want to eat anymore." Ye Jiayao said in a crying voice.

"Come on, just pretend I didn't say that, okay?"

"No, I've heard it, and your son has heard it too. He said he doesn't want it anymore." Ye Jiayao fell weakly on the pillow, touching her stomach, looking up at the sky, feeling miserable. She was going to have nothing to eat again...

Xia Chunyu was so anxious that he was sweating all over. He really wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he talk so much?

Qiao Xi also looked at the prince with resentment. Why was he reporting on this? He made the Second Young Lady unable to eat.

However, a few pieces of stinky tofu still opened the door to Ye Jiayao's appetite. Stinky winter melon, stinky Chinese cabbage, stinky shrimp paste, moldy tofu... In short, they were all things that smelled stinky. In fact, what Ye Jiayao wanted to eat the most was durian, but unfortunately Huai Song didn't have it, and no one had ever heard of this fruit. Ye Jiayao was so greedy that her saliva kept watering, but she could only bear it.

Xia Chunyu was speechless about Ye Jiayao's peculiar taste. Every time he saw her eating with relish, he would say with confidence that when your son wanted to eat, he wanted to pull this bad boy out of his mother's belly and beat him up.

You little bastard, it’s not enough to torment your mother, you also want to torment your father. Your mother is not going to vomit, so your father is going to vomit, do you know that?

Mrs. You was also worried. Eating these things every day would not provide enough nutrition. I have never seen a pregnant woman like to eat such smelly food. My grandson, why don't you know how to enjoy yourself? There are so many delicious foods in the world. Hey... It really makes people speechless.

Forget it, after this period is over, I must give her unborn grandson some good nourishment.

Ever since she knew Ye Jiayao was pregnant, Naya came over every now and then, remembering three things she was not allowed to do: no burning incense, no putting on rouge or powder, and no talking about food.

Ye Jiayao welcomed Naya very much, because Naya was envious of her making small clothes and so on, and she also clamored to learn needlework. In Simon, women did not care about needlework, as long as they could do rough sewing. She had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had never touched needlework. She saw the small clothes and so on were so cute, and she heard that the women here liked to embroider purses and sachets for their loved ones to express their love, so she became interested and vowed to embroider a sachet for Helian Xuan before he came back.

The two of them did needlework together. Firstly, they had company and someone to talk to, so the days passed faster. Secondly, Naya's needlework was actually worse than hers.

This is human nature. Once you feel that someone is worse off than you, you will feel balanced when you have someone to compare yourself with.

Ye Jiayao herself is a half-baked person, but she still teaches Naya. One teaches seriously, and the other learns humbly, and they both enjoy it.

"Jinxuan, what do you think of my embroidered mandarin duck?"

"Are you a mandarin duck? I thought you were a duck!"

"Naya, look at the lotus I embroidered..."

"This is too rough. It doesn't look like a lotus at all. It looks more like a lotus leaf..."

So, the two of them dismantled it and started over again in frustration.

It made Qiao Xi and the others laugh so hard that their bellies hurt.

After seeing Naya's needlework, Xia Chunyu no longer dared to laugh at Yaoyao. Well, there is always someone better than you. His wife is at least better than Helian Xuan's, so he should be content.
