The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 402 Assassination
Jiang Xi seemed to know what the male escort was thinking, "You'll know when we get back."
After returning to the Song Mansion, Jiang Xi went to the kitchen, where the cook had just cut the meat and washed the vegetables.
Jiang Xi simply said to them: "This is fine. Keep the skewers you cut. You won't need them for now."
After Manager Song gave instructions to the kitchen, he went out to do some work. The first thing he did when he returned to the mansion was to go to the kitchen to see how everyone was doing.
It turned out that the kitchen received a notice from Jiang Li and would stop doing barbecue and start doing barbecue instead.
Manager Song didn't have anything important to do at the moment, so he went to find Jiang Xi to see if she had encountered any difficulties.
Jiang Xi and his men were trying to put the iron sheet on a copper basin, which would then contain charcoal.
The steward found Jiang Xi and asked directly: "What is the difference between barbecue and BBQ?"
"The barbecue does not come into direct contact with the charcoal fire. The skewers can be grilled directly on the charcoal fire."
After Jiang Xi finished explaining, he murmured to himself, "It would be better if we had a stone slab. It would taste better if we baked it directly on the stone slab."
It might be too late to find the stone slab at this time, but after listening to Jiang Xi's words, Manager Song kept it in mind.
Right now everyone is busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival moon-viewing event in the evening.
It’s just that Mrs. Song took a little too long to attend the banquet this time.
After Jiang Xi finished his work, he remembered something and asked Manager Song.
Manager Song slapped his head and said that it was true. Normally, when the Madam went to attend a banquet, she should be back by this time.
He couldn't take care of Jiang Xi's work anymore, so he took his servants to find Madam Song.
Manager Song found Mrs. Song and found that something had indeed happened.
Song Zhaocheng attended the banquet with his wife. Steward Song went to look for them and met their carriage on the way.
Jiang Xi was waiting in the mansion, feeling a little worried, but she was unfamiliar with the capital and there was nothing she could do to help.
Considering that Prime Minister Song has such a high status and position, nothing should go wrong.
He walked to the front door to greet the two of them.
Since Song Yunting is not around, Jiang Xi should take care of his parents for him.
What's more, Mrs. Song is so good to her.
Jiang Xi was waiting at the door, and when he came out, he had asked the kitchen to prepare Tremella soup.
The capital is in the north, with distinct four seasons. It’s fine during the day, but it gets a bit chilly at night.
Jiang Xi didn't have to wait long before he saw two carriages with the Song Mansion logo coming towards them.
Song Zhaocheng got off the carriage first, turned around and helped his wife.
Both of them were people who had seen the world. Jiang Xi took two steps forward and carefully looked at the expressions on their faces, but couldn't make out anything.
So he asked directly, "Uncle, Aunt, did you have a good time outside today? The backyard has been prepared for watching the moon tonight."
Although the couple did not show their emotions on the surface, Jiang Xi still noticed that there was something subtle about the aura around them.
It felt like he had just exploded, and even his sleeves still had some residual power.
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "It's okay. I encountered a small problem and it has been resolved."
Then he said, "Wait until we change our clothes."
Manager Song fell behind and had already learned the whole story from the servants who were accompanying him.
I whispered a few words of comfort to her when passing by.
Song Zhaocheng and his wife were invited to attend the banquet by the Rongguo Mansion, which was the prince's maternal family and the queen's maiden family.
Even Song Zhaocheng has to give him some face.
But who would have thought that when the banquet was nearing its end, a group of assassins suddenly appeared.
The target of the assassination was Duke Rong.
Duke Rong was fine, but there were still casualties at the banquet.
Song Zhaocheng escaped the disaster and stayed to wait for things to be dealt with before returning.
Everyone was quite puzzled by this incident.
Since most of the people at the banquet were civil servants, how could they be killed in public by their enemies?
The captured assassin was naturally investigated by the Dali Temple, and Song Zhaocheng and his wife returned.
Jiang Xi listened to Manager Song's brief explanation.
When they arrived at the main hall, Song Zhaocheng and his wife had already taken the sweet soup brought by the maid and calmed themselves down.
Jiang Xi stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you and your wife okay? Are you not injured?"
After drinking the sweet soup, Song Zhaocheng went back to the house to change his clothes.
Mrs. Song stayed and comforted Jiang Xi, "It's okay, the government is still investigating the details!"
Mrs. Song also knew a thing or two about the affairs of the court. On the way back, she and Prime Minister Song only made some speculations, but could not come to a conclusion, so she did not tell Jiang Xi in detail.
"I heard from Manager Song that you have prepared food in the backyard for viewing the moon tonight?"
Mrs. Song asked.
Jiang Xi nodded and said sympathetically, "But you and the adults have just been through such a thing today. I wonder if you two elders need to rest early?"
"It's just as well if we eat it another day."
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "No, it's not a big problem."
The couple have supported each other for twenty years and have experienced all kinds of ups and downs. Their lives will not be affected by such a small matter.
Seeing that Mrs. Song didn't seem to be being polite, the two finished their conversation.
Mrs. Song went back to the house to change her clothes, while Jiang Xi went to the back garden to continue arranging people to get ready.
Jiang Xi did not tell Jiang Youli and Zhao about what Song Zhaocheng and Mrs. Song had encountered outside.
Knowing that his family wouldn't be able to help much even if he told them, he just reminded them that it was a bit chaotic outside and that they shouldn't go out casually in the next few days.
As evening approached, the Song family in the mansion had to worship their ancestors first, and only after the worship would they start to have dinner.
Since everyone knew Jiang Xi had prepared food, they had a simpler dinner.
After finishing all the work and washing up, they all went to the back garden one after another.
Song Zhaocheng and Mrs. Song heard the noisy sounds before they arrived.
There are servants in the mansion, so Jiang Xi and others don't need to do the barbecue themselves.
But they didn't know how to use it, so Jiang Xi stood aside and gave orders.
This barbecue is much easier to control than grilling, and there is no need to worry about it getting burnt.
I briefly explained it to the two maids and they understood.
The courtyard is very large, with flowers and plants, a pond and a lawn beside the pond.
Jiang Xi and his friends placed their things by the pond, preparing to enjoy the moon by the pond.
There was originally a stone table and several stone benches by the pond. In order to place the food, the servants moved a square table over.
The moonlight was bright, and Jiang Xi and his team only had two lanterns.
When Song Zhaocheng and his wife came over, the Jiang family members were busy with their own things. Jiang Youli was chatting with Zhao, Jiang Xi was telling the servants to wait for Prime Minister Song and his wife to come and start grilling the meat, and Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu were holding branches broken off the tree and trying to catch fish in the pond.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Song Zhaocheng and his wife both had smiles in their eyes.
