Chapter 30: Serve The Food
Xiao Qiao waited on the porch, and she saw Wei Shao return. She went down the steps to welcome him and said, Husband must be hungry. Dinner is ready. Just wait for you to come back and have dinner together. After saying this, she secretly looked at his face.
Wei Shao stopped walking and looked at Xiao Qiao.
He had been called by his mother. He knew she had thrown the potato to Mrs. Xu against his wishes. Xiao Qiao was a little scared after all. While she waited for him to have dinner, she also figured out how to respond. She saw him looking at her. His eyes were dark, and his face was like deep water. She didnt make a sound and waited for him to ask her again.
Lets eat.
Unexpectedly, he said such a simple sentence. After saying that, he lifted his feet and went toward the dining room. As he walked passed, Xiao Qiaos face felt a breeze sweep out of him.
Xiao Qiao was surprised and froze in place. Seeing him walking quickly, he stepped up the steps, and she hurriedly caught up with his figure.
These days, Wei Shao does not come very often to eat dinner. Including this time, they only ate three or four times together.
To be precise, it was Xiao Qiao served him three or four times.
The table was set on a couch, and Wei Shao sat on it. Xiao Qiao, a woman, was not as noble as he was, so she sat on her knees at the bottom of the table to serve him. When he finished eating, she could eat.
The previous times, he was eating quickly and rarely asked her to do anything. This job is not tiring.
Xiao Qiao pressed her hips on her heels in a standard sitting position.
Wei Shao was born with the right amount of muscles and bones. He is a natural clothing frame. Right now, he is sitting on the couch. Dressed in tight clothes, with wide sleeve swings along both sides of the shoulders, to match his calm demeanor. Even when he stretches his chopsticks to hold the food, he looks so smooth, like a man who came out of an ancient book that exudes elegant charm. Only he is a real person.
Xiao Qiao looked twice and then withdrew her gaze. Suddenly, she heard Wei Shao say, Lets have dinner together.
Xiao Qiao was dumbfounded and looked at him. She saw he was looking at her with a pleasant face. She refused.
It is fine. If I ask you to join me, you can join me.
He had already ordered someone to add a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Qiao found this sudden invitation from him suspicious, especially after returning from the east house. But since he was so kind, she couldnt refuse. She thought there would be no problem with the meal. After bowing and thanking him, she took two steps forward and sat down.
No words were spoken.
Xiao Qiao silently finished eating a bowl of rice.
It was her usual amount of rice.
She raised her eyes and saw Wei Shao had also finished eating. His hands were propped up on his legs, and he smiled. As if he had been watching her eat.
Xiao Qiao swallowed the last bite of food in her mouth and set her chopsticks on the chopstick holder. She was about to ask someone to bring water to serve him to rinse his mouth when Wei Shao said, Add another bowl of rice for the lady.
Xiao Qiao shook her head, Thank you, husband. Im already full.
I saw that you only ate a few bites. How can you be full? Wei Shao said.
It is indeed enough. Thats all I eat normally. Xiao Qiao explained.
Thats because you eat too little normally! Wei Shao looked up and down at her figure, showing a hint of disgust, it has been some time since you came to my home, but you seem thinner than before. Those who dont know will think my Wei family meals cant satisfy you. Eat a bowl again.
Xiao Qiao felt like he was lying with his eyes open.
At her age, her body is nourished enough. Her body is developing. She feels it herself. Last years underwear was tightened. The band was uncomfortable and replaced with a new one.
But the servant has brought the rice.
Against Wei Shaos concerned gaze, Xiao Qiao bowed her head and tried to finish the second bowl of rice.
The second bowl went down, and her stomach was already full to her chest. Xiao Qiao resisted the urge to burp and put down her chopsticks.
Add another bowl for the Lady.
Wei Shaos voice sounded again.
Xiao Qiao shook her head vigorously. I really cant eat anymore!
Wei Shao, a young Han man, had trained a powerful cavalry that was equal to the Xiongnu. In frontal combat, the Xiongnu gained no advantage over him. On the contrary, he recaptured the area of Yunzhong and Shuofang, which had already entered the Xiongnu territory. He forced the Xiongnu to retreat hundreds of miles north to herd their sheep and horses.
His name was well known in the Xiongnu royal court. Mention this name, from the monarch, the kings, until the people. No one is without a trace of scorn.
But unlike the Prince of Tuqi, Left King Xian Wu Wei, who vowed to be the enemy of Wei Shao, King Rizhu did not have a strong hatred for this Han rival.
Perhaps it was because of the former royal concubine from the Wei family. Huyan Lie could only make such a statement.
He had already finished what he needed to do on this trip, but he didnt expect to meet this group of people sent by the Left King Xian on his way back. After learning of the provocative intentions of the Left King Xian, Huyen Lie immediately intercepted, but Mo Che would not listen, and the two sides clashed.
Huyan Lie has always been the Xiongnu top-ranked of Thousand Cavalry Commander, with a lot of battle achievements, but on that day, he was alone with injuries. Eventually, he was defeated and captured. Mo Che wanted to take him back to the Left King Xian and thought it would be an embarrassment for King Rizhu, so he tied him up and took him to Shanggu. After the robbery, he forced him to go with him. Unexpectedly, they were chased by Wei Shaos cavalry and the two sides fought. He became a prisoner along with Mo Ches men.
In his life, he has killed countless people. He has killed his own people to fight for power, seize the land, and killed the Han people, Wusun people, and Hoge people
Dying was not a big deal. But to die like this, he is really not willing to.
Huyan Lie knew that Wei Shaos soldiers were already carrying out the orders. Various voices mingled as the captives in front of him fell one by one. Soon it would be his turn.
He took a deep breath and was about to make one last struggle when someone behind him stomped on his body, and then a voice he knew rang out: This Xiongnu has a grudge against me. I will kill him with my own hands.
Wei Yan spoke to the lieutenant who had been ordered to carry out the execution order.
When Wei Yan gave his voice, the lieutenant obeyed and handed the man over.
Wei Yan dragged the motionless Huyan Lie to the edge of the Sangan River. No one was near. He used the tip of his knife to pick open the rope that bound Huyan Lie.
Huyan Lie was grateful. He struggled and kneeled towards him: Young master, what happened in the upper valley, was done by Left King Xian
Go back.
Wei Yan did not hear it out. He turned around and left in stride.
Wei Shao returned on the fifth night after he left.
Mrs. Xu was very happy and met Wei Yan, Wei Shao, and his entourage. After being reassured and seeing they were exhausted, she ordered each of the brothers to rest early.
When Wei Shao returned to the west house, it was already dark.
Xiao Qiao met him outside the door of the west house.
He had not taken off his iron armor. As he stood there, the servant took off his armor and looked at Xiao Qiao with two eyes.
Xiao Qiao hesitated but went to him and lifted her hand to help him remove his armor.
When the servants saw this, they retreated.
They were close enough to each other. As she untied his armor, she smelled a dried odor of mixed dust and blood on his body, which was rushing to her nose.
She felt as if there were two gazes above her head. Raising her eyes, she saw he was looking at her with his head bowed.
Xiao Qiaos two rows of eyelashes fluttered a bit. She bit her lips and lowered her eyes. After holding her breath, she finally helped him untie the heavy armor and step back without making a sound.
Wei Shao unloaded his armor on the ground and left with a middle coat stained with dust and blood. After looking at Xiao Qiao, who had already left him, he turned around and went into the bathing room. When he came out, he changed into loose clothes with sleeves fluttering. His black hair was secured with a jade hairpin on top of his head. His posture was elegant and different from his previous appearance when he just came back.
Husband, do you want to eat?
Xiao Qiao asked him.
Wei Shao touched his stomach. He nodded his head and turned to go to the dining room. Xiao Qiao followed up to serve. When she reached the door, she saw Old Jiang from the east house coming. With a respectful look, she bowed and said the madam had prepared a meal on her side and asked the Master to come and eat.
The Madam is concerned about the Master. She cooked it herself. She hopes the Master will come.
Wei Shao hesitated and turned his head to look at Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao said, Since Mother-in-law has prepared a meal Husband should go over. I am fine here.
Wei Shao said nothing and stepped towards the east house.
