Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Under the guidance of the steward in the Hall of Rebirth, Wu Ye walked into Hutao's house.

This house has two entrances, is slightly spacious, and is kept quite neatly. Fish-scale tiles, cypress purlins, and large green bricks produced by Heiyan Factory are used for the courtyard walls and floor. The brick joints are clear, straight, and well-proportioned, just like the layout of Liyue Harbor City, giving it a neat and neat beauty that is pleasing to the eye.

There is also a 6 to 7-meter-tall plum tree in the courtyard. Although it is still April, one look at the well-spread branches bearing purple-red fruits tells you that the flowers will bloom in winter.

Looking at this elegant courtyard, the corners of Wu Ye's mouth turned up unexpectedly. He could already imagine that when he was free in February next year, he would spread out a blanket in the yard, with the corners of the blanket pressed with peach blossom stuffing. Hutao would bring out the almond tofu he had made, and pour a spoonful of thick osmanthus syrup on it. How pleasant it is to eat and enjoy plum blossoms!

"Wu Ye?! Why are you here!"

When Hu Tao was writing and looking through the account books of the Hall of Purity in her room, she heard footsteps outside the door. She felt suspicious. People in the hall would usually come to her house unless something important happened, so she put down what she was doing. Opening the door and looking at the person, his eyes lit up and he rushed forward in surprise.

"Hey, could you please stop hanging on me like a sloth?"

Wu Ye had no choice but to hold the rushing Hu Tao with both hands to prevent her from falling.

"No~ and what is a sloth? Is it as cute as me?"

Hu Tao buried her head in Wu Ye's neck and asked coquettishly.

"Well, that's definitely not the case. Taobao is the cutest in the world."

"Humph, that's for sure, you know what's going on! So why are you free to come to the hall today? Have you finished your book?"

"I've finished writing it. I'll go to Yamoxuan in the morning and submit it, and I'll get a generous royalties. Do you want to guess how many Moras there are?"

Wu Ye carried Hutao into the room, put her down, then took out the cloth bag containing Maura and raised it, "Crash", this was the sound of Maura colliding with each other.

"Hehe, I don't guess~ Anyway, you take good care of me."

Hu Tao said with a smile.

"Feed you? Well, I can certainly afford it, but if I bring the entire Purity Hall with me, I'm afraid even if I'm sold, I won't be able to pay the monthly salary of the hundreds of employees in the Purity Hall."

Wu Ye said thoughtfully.

"Idiot! Why do you think so much?"

Hu Tao gently gave Wu Ye a chestnut, then put his hands on his waist and said seriously:

"Under the wise leadership of our hall master, the Gossip Hall is naturally prospering, especially since Zhongli has become much more at ease recently. There are no bills he owes. It seems that my hall master has taught well."

"In short, the Hall of Rebirth is running very well, and I don't have to worry about funds, so..."

When Hu Tao said this, her pink neck drooped and she looked at her toes with emotion.

"Huh? Why did you stop talking all of a sudden? So what?"

Wu Ye took Hu Tao's nervous little hand, gently took her into his arms, and asked in a low voice.

"Then...then you can't tell others."

"Haha, I definitely won't, don't worry."

Wu Ye laughed softly.

"Even after I marry you, I will take care of the Palace of Death. It won't be a burden to you. You can just support me alone."

"Mua~"

Hu Tao spoke quickly against Wu Ye's ear, and then kissed Wu Ye after finishing speaking, then quickly got away, dodged and sprinted, and appeared outside the room in a flash.

"Hey! What's the difference between you and running away after taking advantage?"

"Slightly slightly slightly, I want you to take care of it!"

Hu Tao's answer came from outside the house. Wu Ye touched his face and then smiled unconsciously.

......

On the bustling street, Hu Tao held Wu Ye's arm, and the two walked slowly.

"Do you think immortals like to drink?"

Wu Ye suddenly asked.

"Hmm~ Let me think about it...I don't know."

Hutao puffed up his face, thought for a while, and replied in frustration.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just thinking about what kind of meeting gift I should give to the immortal when I'm going to Mount Ouzang tomorrow."

"Would you like some tea?"

"Bringing tea?"

"Yeah, because I think Zhongli usually likes to drink tea."

"You mean..."

"Look at how young Zhongli is, but his personality is like that of an old antique. He knows everything but doesn't care about anything. He also knows many immortals. Do you think he will...? Hee hee... ugh , forget it, let him go. So, you are right to send tea!"

"I see!"

"Hmm, do you have tea prepared in your yard? If not, I will go back to the hall and get it for you!"

"your?"

"Zhongli's!"

Hu Tao replied confidently, which made Wu Ye couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I have some, so I don't want to be your guest."

Wu Ye smiled and touched Hu Tao's head.

"Let's go, it's almost noon, let's go eat Zhongyuan offal, and then buy some vegetables and go back. You can eat at my house in the evening."

"Wow! That means there will be a big dinner tonight! Is Grandpa Wu Yong preparing to see you off?"

"Haha, really? I feel like this is obviously a wedding banquet, specially prepared for his grandson-in-law."

"Ah Wu Ye! Don't tease me!"

Hu Tao picked up Wu Ye's wrist and took a bite without any pain or itching.

......

"Xiao Tao, you can just sit and rest in the living room. The smell of oil smoke in the kitchen is too strong, so Xiaoye and I can just stay in the kitchen."

Wu Yong reminded.

"No, grandpa, I don't care. I want to cook with Wu Ye."

Hutao smiled sweetly and responded.

"That's okay! Then old man, I'll go out and get some drinks and come back. Let Xiaoye cook tonight."

After saying that, Wu Yong left without looking back, leaving a final sentence,

"Today's young people are too bored."

"Xiao Nizi, did you hear that? Grandpa couldn't help but complain."

Wu Ye scraped Hu Tao's little nose with his fingers wet with water.

"I don't care~ I just want to watch you cook! Hehe, I can sneak some food by the way."

"Okay, then help me wash those ingredients. I will make you stir-fried pork slices, crystal shrimp, animal meat mint rolls and crab roe tofu tonight. The crystal shrimp I make is excellent, but I didn't have any money before. Opportunity display, have you eaten it?"

"No, I haven't eaten what you made."

Hu Tao replied seriously.

"Hehe, just give me a try. Crystal shrimp, also known as shrimp dumplings, is wrapped in a transparent thin skin. After steaming, take a bite. The outer skin of the shrimp dumplings is smooth and smooth. Just bite it. Broken, exuding the aroma of shrimp. The fillings of shrimp dumplings are delicate and soft, tender and juicy, the shrimp meat is delicious, with a slightly salty taste, and the texture is rich and elastic. Shrimp dumplings are what I often ordered when drinking morning tea in my previous life Yes, but it’s too expensive. Later I learned how to do it myself, isn’t it awesome?”

"Yeah! You're the best!"

Hu Tao swallowed, her eyes lit up, and she nodded in approval. In fact, she didn't understand the meaning of novel words such as "drinking morning tea" in Wu Ye's mouth. She only knew that the person she liked had to make delicious food for her, and that was enough.

......

After dinner, on the way back to Shengtang.

"Hiccup~"

Hu Tao couldn't help but burp. She quickly covered her mouth and secretly looked at Wu Ye, who was lowering his head in thought.

"What's the matter? Are you too full?"

Wu Ye noticed something strange about Hu Tao and asked with concern.

"Well, it's all because the food you cooked was so delicious, I was full."

Hu Tao blushed and argued.

"Hey, can you blame me for this? It's because you can't control your mouth."

"Hmph, I don't care, hiccup~ It's your problem, you have to be responsible to the end!"

Hu Tao said righteously.

"How should I be held responsible?"

Wu Ye plays with taste.

"I don't know! Anyway, you have to be responsible!"

"Is this responsible?"

Wu Ye pulled Hu Tao and sat down on the side of the path, then stretched out his hand and gently stroked Hu Tao's round belly.

"Woooo~ Wu Ye, don't be like this. This is doing bad things openly on the street! But why do you feel so comfortable doing bad things?"

Hu Tao blushed and leaned on Wu Ye's shoulder, covering her face with her hands, not daring to let others see her appearance.

"Don't be afraid. Few people pass by this road at night, not to mention there are no street lights around, so no one will notice that we are doing bad things."

Wu Ye chuckled, then leaned forward and kissed Hu Tao's forehead.

"Really...really?"

"I kid you not."

"Then keep touching..."

"Cough cough!"

An untimely cough sounded, followed by the sound of footsteps. Hutao looked up at the person and exclaimed:

"Zhongli?!"

"Ugh! You stinky Wu Ye, you are lying!"

Hu Tao's face turned as red as a ripe persimmon, and then she hammered Wu Ye with her small hand. She didn't know whether it was because of grievance or shyness, but she left quickly without looking back, leaving only Wu Ye and Zhong Li staring at each other.

......

"Well, um, I think Lord Rock King has a lot of people, so he won't be the same as me because of this matter, right?"

Wu Ye said like green tea.

"We will arrive at the north gate before midnight tomorrow morning. We will not wait if we exceed the time limit."

After finishing speaking, Zhongli's golden light flashed and disappeared from the spot.
