The Man Who Raised a husband Through Ancient Times

Chapter 26

　Zhao Xiaoyu entered the study with an absent-minded look.

　"What's wrong? You look so bad?" Yuanye asked.

　"Oh...it's nothing. Brother Yu said you were looking for me?"

　Yuan Ye glanced out the door, "He hasn't come over yet?"

　"No, what's wrong?"

　Yuan Ye stood up and crossed Zhao Xiaoyu, half-length towards the door. After looking outside, he heard the sound of a wooden bucket drawing water from the well. He closed the door, turned around and took the person into his arms.

　"We haven't seen each other for so long, you don't miss me?"

　Zhao Xiaoyu stiffened for a moment, then relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was just his imagination and Yuan Ye still liked him.

　Zhao Xiaoyu put her head on him and gently stroked the clothes on his chest with her fingers. After walking in the wilderness for so long, he naturally missed him.

　"Huh? Why don't you say anything?" Yuanye pushed him away a little and carefully observed his expression, "What's wrong? You've been very worried today."

　Zhao Xiaoyu blinked, "Nothing, just, I miss you too much. You did."

　Yuan Ye smiled and tapped his head lightly with his index finger. "I'm getting more and more stupid."

　"I made a lot of clothes for you in Fucheng. They will look good on you!" Yuan Ye thought. I thought, "I'd better give you the simple ones first. Let's wear the nice ones after we get married. Come here, let's sort out the account of selling braised pork first. It's been more than two months, how much money have you earned?" That's enough. Wait a few days for me to prepare some things and go to your house to propose marriage."

　Hearing what Yuanye said, Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't be happy and said in a low voice, "Let's wait a few more months. We still don't have enough money. It's far away."

　Yuanye was stunned, "Why? Is the braised pork business bad? I heard your brother said it was sold out every day..."

　"Well... we borrowed some more when you left." Zhao Xiaoyu glanced at Yuanye secretly, took out the account book and pointed it out to him page by page, "I borrowed it twice in June, with, um... three taels and two hundred coins, and once in July, with two taels."

　Hearing this, Yuanye felt furious, "Your brother gambled money again?!"

　Yuanye's voice was a little harsh, and Zhao Xiaoyu was startled, "No, no! My brother has never gambled money again. This money was used to buy clothes, shoes, and quilts for Brother Yu. Don't be angry, Brother Yu didn't bring anything, and we had no money, so I had to borrow some from the account. , we borrowed it..." His voice became lower and lower as he spoke, for fear that the wilderness would be angry. He has never used the one hundred taels that Yuanye gave him. All they used were the silver from selling braised pork.

　Zhao Xiaoyu looked like he had done something wrong. No matter how big the fire was in the wilderness, he would not be able to get out. He hugged the person into his arms and said, "You know who he is! Just buy it for him." People who buy this or that don’t even know they were deceived.”

　Zhao Xiaoyu opened his mouth and wanted to say that Brother Yu didn’t deceive them. But Yuanye was different in his mind. He was very smart and knew everything. Zhao Xiaoyu only heard his own voice and asked, "Why do you say that? Wasn't Brother Yu sold by his father and his mother?"

　"It's not that simple. Do you think he grew up in the village and was used to farm work? It doesn't look like him at all, right? I think he might be..." Yuanye lowered his voice and whispered his suspicions in his ear.
