Huo dieying buries her face in a bowl and takes a big mouthful of rice.

Lin Nanpu, dressed in black, comes to the dining room with housekeeper Yang. He sees Huo dieying eating with her head down. Yang Xuechen is putting a chopstick of vegetables into her bowl.

”Eat slowly. Don't just eat rice. Eat more vegetables.”

”Cough, cough!” Huo Dieyi cleared his throat, patted his chest and said with a smile, ”thank you, general.”

Yang Xuechen patted Huo dieying's head, discontented nuzui: ”concubine, we are husband and wife, thank you, thank you more.”

Huo dieying laughs foolishly and says, ”I don't know why you are so attentive. If I don't say thank you, can I ask you to bring me more dishes?”?

Lin Nanpu naturally sat on the table and said to housekeeper Yang, ”Uncle Yang, please help me with a pair of bowls and chopsticks. I haven't had breakfast yet.”

”Master Lin, just a moment.” Housekeeper Yang went out of the dining room with a smile.

Yang Xuechen took chopsticks and knocked on the edge of the bowl: ”will you eat this, Lin Nanpu, you are still so cheeky!”

Lin Nanpu said with a gentle smile: ”well, I'm just so cheeky. Do you want to cry for a while? Maybe I won't eat as soon as I feel soft.”

”Take ten taels of silver. How can you say that you also help my father run the Yang family's business. You are much richer than me, a dandy boy!” Yang Xuechen finished and asked Lin Nanpu for money.

Lin Nanpu lowered his head, took out a ding of silver from his arms and put it on Yang Xuechen's hand.

Yang Xuechen also does not refuse, took silver, handed in Yang housekeeper.

A maid came over with a dish, brought up a few dishes, put them in front of Lin Nanpu one by one, and then backed out.

”It's really my favorite home cooked dish.” Lin Nanpu finished, rolled up his sleeves and took a big bite. He didn't pay any attention to Huo dieying.

Huo dieying was going to pretend to be dumb and blind, but she didn't pay attention to Lin Nanpu. She was always worried that he would do something out of the ordinary. But what's the matter with Yang Xuechen? Do you charge for a meal?

Lin Nanpu seemed to see Huo dieying's doubts and explained with a smile: ”dieying, Yang Xuechen and I are brothers who grew up together. We have a close relationship. We never see each other. You'd better get used to it in the future.”

”Ha ha, it's very good. I'm ready to eat. I'm going to work in Baohetang. Eat well!”

Huo dieying finished, put down the bowl and left the dining room in a hurry.

Yang Xuechen looked at Lin Nanpu, who was eating, and asked: ”after eating, I'll leave as soon as possible. I can't come to people who are close to me often. The emperor will be suspicious.”

”I don't know what the emperor thinks, but if you let dieying go out every day, don't you worry that the emperor will kill her?” Lin Nanpu finished the last mouthful of soup and asked.

”In what capacity are you questioning the general? Huo dieying's old lover? I'm sorry. It's my father who married her to Ben Jiang. I didn't bear your anger. Even if my father came to ask me, I would answer him like this. ”

Yang Xuechen stood up, patted Lin Nanpu on the shoulder, and said with a smile, ”we are brothers growing up together. We are too familiar with each other, so we don't play that hypocritical game.”
