After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 9

After cleaning up, his mood gradually calmed down. At this moment, a voice called out from outside the door. Ye Yunzhou walked forward and opened the door. Looking closely, it was Ye Yi holding a bowl of porridge and a few buns.

As Ye Yi placed the meal on the table, he said, "Sir, these buns are steamed really well. Look, they are so white and tender, just like a little girl's face."

Ye Yunzhou was slightly startled, his eyes first falling blankly on the white and tender buns. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he was in a trance for a moment.

He thought of that woman with skin as white as cream, her black and shiny hair falling like a waterfall, her watery eyes staring at him without blinking, her red lips slightly parted, leaning close to his lips, and whispering softly, "Husband."

This was the first time he had such a dream in all these years, which made him feel both excited and ashamed.

Ye Yi turned around and saw that his master had an unnatural expression on his face. He asked with some confusion: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Yunzhou collected his thoughts and waved his hand, "Nothing, let's eat."

On the busy streets, the cries of vendors echoed one after another. "Hot pancakes, hot pancakes!"

"Tanghulu! Delicious sweet and sour Tanghulu!"

Luo Shuiyao walked in front. She went to the east to look at the stall selling hairpins, took out a sandalwood peach blossom hairpin and gestured with it on her head. Then she walked forward and saw a stall selling sugar paintings.

Seeing the man's skillful technique, he created a sugar painting in just a few strokes, and her eyes were filled with admiration. Sugar painting is an intangible cultural heritage in modern times, and she didn't expect to see a real sugar painting with her own eyes.

This man's craftsmanship is much better than that of the so-called sugar painting masters of today. It is truly a lost secret skill.

Du Juan, who was behind him, was panting and carrying a few bags. She shouted, "Miss, please wait for me."

She really didn't know that her young lady was so lively and active. When she asked her to prepare some things in the morning, the young lady ran around everywhere, and her energy was even greater than that of men.

Luo Shuiyao turned around and saw her like this, and couldn't help but laugh: "You really need to exercise well, your body is too weak. Come, carry that for me."

Dujuan quickly stepped back and said, "How can that be possible? You are a lady, how can you carry things for a servant?"

Seeing her like this, Luo Shuiyao rolled her eyes helplessly.

But seeing Du Juan's resolute attitude and strong refusal, she gave up. "Then how about this? You go ahead and put your things down, and I'll wait here for you. There are still some things we haven't bought yet, and you really can't carry them anymore."

Du Juan hesitated. "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate, Miss. How can I leave you here alone?"

Seeing her like this, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but sigh softly and pushed her shoulders forward, "Go quickly, go, don't worry, I'm such a grown-up, what could go wrong?"

Watching Du Juan's receding figure, Luo Shuiyao could only shake her head helplessly. She knew she couldn't change the times; all she could do was adapt to them.

Luo Shuiyao stood still, looking around. She had promised Du Juan that she would wait for her return, so she didn't dare to go far.

She saw a wonton stall in front of her and walked towards it. Unexpectedly, after a few steps, she saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, wait, sir!"

Luo Shuiyao ran forward, and the figure in front stopped and slowly turned around when he heard the sound.

Indeed, the man in front was the young man who had saved her last night. Luo Shuiyao trotted a few steps, then quickly stepped forward, looked at him and said, "Young Master, what a coincidence, I actually see you again. You saved me yesterday, and I haven't yet repaid you. Here are some wontons, I'll treat you to some. I wonder if you had breakfast this morning?"

Ye Yunzhou's mouth twitched. This woman was truly...! Whose life-saving grace could be repaid with a bowl of wontons for 5 wen?

However, seeing the woman in front of him staring at him with her deer-like eyes, he felt a slight stir in his heart, and nodded, saying, "No."

The woman's eyes lit up a little more, and she said excitedly, "That's great. I'll treat you to some wontons. Let's go."

As she spoke, she walked forward quickly.

Ye Yunzhou turned around, glanced at Ye Yi obscurely, and followed Luo Shuiyao to the wonton stall. Behind her, Ye Yi touched his nose and muttered helplessly: "Young Master, this is really... Oh, how can you value beauty over your subordinates?"

The two walked to the wonton stall and found a place to sit. The proprietress came forward and asked them what kind of wontons they wanted. Luo Shuiyao said, "I want a bowl of chicken sauce wontons." She turned around and looked at Ye Yunzhou again. "What about you?"

Ye Yunzhou nodded slightly and said, "Same as you." Luo Shuiyao turned to look at the proprietress and said, "Two bowls of chicken sauce wontons, then. Thank you."

While they were ordering, the proprietress kept glancing at Luo Shuiyao's face. Now, as she watched the proprietress walk forward, looking back every few steps, Luo Shuiyao muttered softly, "This proprietress is quite lustful!"

Ye Yunzhou had very good hearing, so he naturally heard her muttering. He couldn't help but laugh to himself. It was rare to see such a narcissistic girl.

Soon, the proprietress came over with two bowls of steaming chicken wontons. She smiled and said, "Enjoy your meal, both of you."

"Thank you," Luo Shuiyao replied with a smile.

"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons," a new customer from the next table called her. The proprietress waved at her and went back to work.

Luo Shuiyao could already smell the aroma of the chicken wontons and couldn't wait to have a taste. She reached for her chopsticks but accidentally knocked them to the ground.

She bent down to pick it up from under the table. When she looked up, she caught sight of the jade pendant hanging around the waist of the man opposite her and froze in place for a moment.

The man was wearing a jade pendant made of black jade around his waist. The jade pendant was translucent and lustrous, with intricate and exquisite patterns carved in the middle, and the word "Zhou" engraved in the middle.

Luo Shuiyao remembered that the original novel had described that the eldest son and the second son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery both had such a jade pendant.
