Chapter 64 Still Xiao He is the most obedient

  Yun Jia's governor-general has been in charge of Shanxi and Hebei provinces for many years. Not only is there a marshal's mansion in the capital city of Yanjing, but also in Datong, Zhending, and Jimen, although on a slightly smaller scale. This place, Tancheng, is on the front line against Liao, so naturally, there is one here too. Yun Zheng and his family are currently living here.

  Yun Cong returned to his own small courtyard, and Xiao He was already waiting for him at the table. On the table were seven exquisite dishes, following Yun Cong's usual habit of three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes, and one soup.

  Yun Cong's previous life was a Hunanese, but the Yun Mansion usually eats Lu cuisine every day, so he doesn't recognize these dishes. However, the dishes in front of him are all colorful and fragrant, although the taste is still unknown, it must be good.

  "Hah! Xiao He, you're still the most considerate one. As soon as I knew that Young Master has returned, all the dishes are already prepared. Nuo, tell me, what's all this?" Yun Zheng chuckled and sat down without hesitation, picking up his chopsticks to gesture at the table and ask.

  Yun Cong didn't know that ever since Xiao He accompanied Yun Lan and Ning Wanting to Tan Prefecture, every time they had a meal, they would prepare dishes according to Yun Cong's preferences. Now, Yun Cong just happened to arrive in time for this meal. However, she didn't intentionally try to curry favor with Yun Cong, but rather cleverly picked up a piece of sea cucumber and smiled: "Young Master, why are you interested in these things today? Hmm, the three savory dishes are scallion-burned sea cucumber, steamed Gobi fish, and Dezhou-style braised chicken. The three vegetarian dishes are first-class tofu, fragrant mushroom vegetable heart, and pulled lotus seeds. As for the soup, it's just black carp egg soup."

  Yun Cong let out an "oh" and tossed the small piece of sea cucumber into his mouth, chewing it for a couple of beats before discovering that it indeed tasted great, involuntarily blurting out: "Mmm, not bad, this tastes good."

  He had only casually complimented her, but Xia He suddenly beamed with joy upon hearing it and hastily asked: "Really? Young Master, do you really like this dish?"

  "Huh? Yeah, I love to eat... what's up?" Yun Cheng was a bit dazed and didn't understand why he should be excited.

  He had no idea that although Yun Cong was excellent in many ways, he also had some of the same bad habits as most young nobles. For example, he wouldn't care what dishes his servants prepared for him, and since no one would dare to slack off on serving him, he would never "go out of his way" to praise a particular dish as delicious!

  "Master never said he liked any dish before... Can I make this scallion-braised sea cucumber for Master again tomorrow?" Xiaohua asked with a full face of expectation.

  "Oh…… haha, okay." He took another bite of the steamed fish with ginger and lotus seeds, then smiled and said: "Actually, these are all quite delicious. In the future, don't go to too much trouble either, just do whatever is convenient, Young Master doesn't have that many demands after all."

  He was naturally good-natured, but unexpectedly Xiao He hurriedly shook his head: "How can that be? Confucius said 'Food is not rejected because of its fineness, and meat is not rejected because of its delicacy', also saying 'If it's not the right time, don't eat. If it's not cut correctly, don't eat. If you can't get the right sauce, don't eat'... These are all rules for noble families. Young Master, your status is honorable, and I'm afraid that if my skills are too poor, I'll ruin your reputation. Every day, I go to learn from the head chefs in the mansion, how could I possibly say 'do whatever is convenient'? If others find out, I'd be ashamed to death!"

  Yun Cong's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared blankly for a moment before suddenly pulling Xiao He's hand: "Come on, come over here, don't stand there."

  Xiao He naturally wouldn't dare, where would she dare sit alongside Yun Zheng? She was so anxious that her face turned red. It wasn't until then that Yun Zheng realized he still hadn't truly understood this world; the class gap between people was actually this huge!

  "Sit down, this is an order!" Yun Zheng's temper flared up, and even the word "order" slipped out.

  Xiao He was really in a difficult situation. Sit down, it's not polite, don't sit down, it's equivalent to not listening to Young Master's orders, still impolite. Yun Zheng saw her still hesitating, used a clever trick, easily pulled her over and pressed her onto the chair beside him, intentionally putting on a stern face: "How is it now, even Young Master's words are no longer effective?"

  "No, no, Master, I didn't mean it that way...I'm afraid of being seen and talked about..." Xiaohua hastily explained.

  "What nonsense are you talking about?" Yun Zheng glared, speaking in a serious tone: "I'm tired, Ben Shao Ye wants Xiao He to feed me, what's wrong with that? Who dares to disagree? You're Ben Shao Ye's personal... uh." He originally wanted to say personal maid, but felt some resistance in his heart and forcibly swallowed the word "maid" back down.

  Xiao He's face turned bright red with embarrassment as she realized she had to feed Yun Zheng herself, and she became flustered and refused to speak. Yun Zheng chuckled and didn't continue speaking, but instead looked at her with a gaze full of "deep meaning".

  Xiao He's heart was struggling, to be honest, in a wealthy and influential family like this, a maid is basically just an accessory to the master. For someone of Yun Zheng's status, not only would she have no right to refuse being asked to serve food, but even if he wanted her to accompany him to bed at any time, she wouldn't have the power to say no. Of course, she also couldn't refuse. To put it bluntly, even if Yun Zheng were to beat her to death in a fit of rage, nothing would happen - not even outsiders would dare say anything against Yun Zheng. After all, you're just someone who was sold to them, so they can do whatever they want with you!

  However, Xia He wasn't worried about offending Yun Zheng. At least in the past few years of following Yun Zheng, although he was cold to his subordinates, he never had a bad temper. And this time after Young Master returned from Luoyang, he was even nicer to him than before, and there was no sign that he would be unfavorable to him. So her hesitation was partly because of shyness, and the other part was because she was afraid of being seen by Old Master and Madame.

  As the saying goes, "the arm cannot twist the thigh", and naturally, the maid cannot be more stubborn than the young master. Under Yun Zheng's encouraging and tempting gaze, Xiao He finally blushed and picked up his chopsticks, carefully picking a small piece of fragrant mushroom and handing it to Yun Zheng's mouth.

  Yun Cong was extremely pleased in his heart, almost laughing out loud. However, he finally endured it, with an appreciative and enjoyable expression, praising: "Still my obedient little He is the most obedient, unlike..." He said half a sentence, hurriedly holding back, swallowing the remaining words "some people are so difficult to serve" into his belly.

  Xiao He originally was a clever girl, although guessing what Yun Zheng would say in the second half of his sentence, she didn't show any curiosity at all, and continued to gently feed Yun Zheng.

  Every time Xiaohuo brought the dishes, Yunzheng would stare at her small white hands with a pair of wide eyes, as if they were the dishes themselves. At first, Xiaohuo didn't notice, but later she gradually felt Yunzheng's gaze always falling on her hands, and couldn't help but blush. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became more ambiguous.

  Yun Zheng was thinking of what method to use to get closer, when he suddenly heard a sly voice outside calling out softly: "Young Master, Young Master! Are you there? I'm Yun Yi!"

  Yun Cong's face turned red with rage, "How come every time I flirt with Xiao He there's someone causing trouble! Gnashing his teeth in anger, under Xiao He's sly smile, he let out a furious hum: "What are you yelling about! Ben Shao is still eating! Wait for me outside!"
