Chapter 58 58. Hair tie

She came late, the Meng School was over, Yu An had finished his exams, the Imperial College had closed its doors again, and apparently all the students had left.

Yun Yao went home a little disappointed and saw Yu An cooking hard.

"You're back." Yu An said, wiping the ashes from his face.

He is not very good at cooking, but at most he can cook food. Today is his first time trying to stir-fry.

Yun Yao glanced at the fried shredded potatoes on the table and said in surprise: "It looks good."

Little Aqing was tinkering with his gadgets. When he heard Yun Yao's voice, he ran out and hugged Yun Yao's legs.

"Sister, you smell so good." Little Aqing said, wiggling her nose.

Yun Yao's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yu An's expression change and he also moved closer to Yun Yao.

He still had a little heat from the stove, so he lowered his head and gently smelled the side of Yun Yao's face.

Yunyao could hear his breathing clearly, and the sudden two short breaths were a bit cute.

Yu An's face darkened, his eyes turned into bottomless pits, and he said coldly: "Where have you been?"

Yun Yao told everything that happened today, without hiding anything.

Yu An stopped asking, but his expression did not soften at all. He prepared three sets of bowls and chopsticks, and occasionally looked at Yun Yao with cold eyes.

Little Aqing didn't understand so much. He only knew that his sister went out to make money, and that she smelled good today.

Cold sweat broke out on Yun Yao's back, and he carefully took a mouthful of shredded potatoes. I have to say that this plate of fried shredded potatoes looked really good.

The potato shreds are even in thickness, golden in color, and look delicious.

Anyway, as a qualified partner, going to that kind of place is really worrying, so Yunyao decided to behave better.

Let’s start with a CD to express our recognition for his cooking skills.

She put the shredded potatoes into her mouth and tasted them carefully. Just when she was about to praise them, she paused.

Her whole body trembled, her apple muscles twitched, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She forced herself to swallow them and said, "Mr., it's so delicious."

Little A-Qing was dumbfounded. She didn't expect her brother-in-law's cooking skills to be so good, which moved her sister to tears.

So he rushed forward with chopsticks and took a big mouthful. Before Yun Yao could stop him, he stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wow!" Little Aqing squirted out, tears streaming down his face. He kept sticking out his tongue and said vaguely: "It's so spicy, so spicy."

Yu An looked at the two of them blankly, and when he saw this, he also wanted to try a bite. Just as he was about to pick it up, his chopsticks were stopped by Yun Yao's chopsticks.

She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said seriously: "This dish is so delicious. I can't even eat it for myself, so don't eat it."

As she said that, she pulled the plate directly towards her and hit the bowl with a crisp sound.

Little Aqing looked at his sister in disbelief. His tongue was still hanging out. He quickly ran to the kitchen to find some water.

After a while, the stove made a crackling sound.

Yun Yao and Yu An looked for the sound and saw little Aqing knocking over an iron basin and spilling shredded potatoes on the floor.

Potato shreds have strange shapes, some are thick and some are thin, some are long and some are short.

Little Aqing said in a panic: "I didn't mean it."

"It's okay," Yun Yao quickly poured a large bowl of water for little A-Qing, which was too spicy for the child.

Seeing little Aqing drinking water aside, Yun Yao glanced at Yu An cautiously.

She pursed her lips and whispered: "Mr. sir, have you used all the potatoes at home for practice?"

Yu An also noticed something was wrong at this moment and nodded with an unusual expression.

Yun Yao turned his head to the side like a rusty machine, with his back to Yu An. His expression was about to cry, but his voice sounded like he was coaxing a child: "Even if they look very similar, you can't use ginger shreds instead of potatoes."

Silk."

Yu An was silent and squeezed out a "Hmm."

In the end, the incident ended with Yunyao cooking again.

Early the next morning, Yun Yao knocked on Yu An's door.

At this time, Yu An had already gotten up and was reading a book. When he saw Yun Yao coming in, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Yun Yao said coyly: "I have to go to that place today."

"I know." Yu An interrupted her and turned his head to the side, not looking at her.

His heart felt heavy and inexplicably sour.

Unexpectedly, Yun Yao stepped forward, grabbed a corner of Yu An's hair tie, and pulled it off.

Suddenly, Yu An's hair poured down like ink, with a few strands hanging down in curves on his neck, adding a bit of otherworldly flavor.

Yu An was stunned and saw Yun Yao with a smile in his eyes, wrapping the hair tie around his arm.

She shed both ends of the hair tie, stretched out her arms in front of Yu An, and said, "Tie a knot for me. With this, others will know that I am married."

Yu An's ears turned red, he raised his hands and gently tied a knot for Yun Yao.

Yun Yao looked at Yu An's masterpiece with admiration and rolled up his sleeves, making the hair tie more obvious.

She hugged Yu An's head and kissed her, then turned around to make breakfast.

"Wait a minute," Yu An called Yun Yao, stood up and took her arm.

Under Yun Yao's confused eyes, he put down her sleeves and said, "That's enough."

When she holds her arm up, others can see her arm.

After sending the two scholars at home to class, Yun Yao went to Qingfeng Pavilion.

Unlike last time, this time the guests were no longer a large group of people, and Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

An elderly man in brocade clothes walked forward and immediately became polite when he saw the two flying geese on Yunyao's mask.

He approached Yunyao and whispered: "Master Hua Lian is in the innermost room on the third floor. Other guests don't know. Please go up quietly."

Yun Yao twitched the corner of his mouth and silently went up as he said.

It was quiet on the third floor. Yun Yao knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Yun Yao came in and saw no one at first sight. He only heard the sound of fabric rubbing from behind the screen.

Hua Lian had just finished taking a shower and walked out from behind the screen in baggy clothes. He was not wearing a mask and his hair was wet and hanging behind him, like the legendary shark who used his singing to seduce people's hearts.

He took out a mahogany sign with complicated patterns from next to the pillow and hung it gently outside the door.

Yunyao asked doubtfully: "What is that?"

Hua Lian smiled calmly and said, "Tell others not to disturb."

"Oh." Yun Yao scratched his head and didn't think much about it.

The necessary pens and papers have already been prepared on the table. Although Hua Lian is not well-dressed, she does things neatly.

The two of them calculated the best performance time, the number of performers, and the number of performers. They also found a good craftsman's shop in Kyoto to make props.

We also discussed a series of miscellaneous issues such as clothing styles, invitations, seating arrangements, etc.

Yun Yao talked about almost all the problems she had encountered and could think of.

Finally, she collapsed on the chair tiredly and said: "I have agreed in advance that if our business is concluded, I will only be responsible for writing scripts from now on."

"Okay." Hua Lian smiled charmingly, with a hint of endearment in her eyes.
