Around those who had just heard Shang Xiaohu's words, some gasped, while others gloated and waited to watch the fun!

Is this because he is addicted to free meals and doesn't want to keep coming here so shamelessly, so he wants to become that person's brother-in-law so that he can come here to free meals with a clear conscience in the future?

After Shang Xiaohu said this, he looked at Xue Wenyu's frightening reaction and didn't bother to look at other people's expressions.

I was thinking, there shouldn't be anything wrong with what I just said, is it necessary to have such an exaggerated reaction?

"It's just a joke. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Why are you so serious?" Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, Shang Xiaohu thought about the consequence of offending this person, which would be that he would not be able to eat with him anymore, so he quickly spoke again.

After saying that, he simply stopped looking at Xue Wenyu's face and reached out for the sweet and sour fish.

I took a big piece and only by eating more could I comfort my hurt heart.

After eating a piece of fish, he still felt uncomfortable. He reached out and grabbed the tea salt in front of him. He wanted to pour out the tea in it, but suddenly he thought of something and brought it to his mouth and drank it.

Then, he reached out and grabbed the wine jug beside him, poured himself a glass of salty wine, drank it in one gulp, and poured another glass of salty wine.

Several people at the same table looked at him together; "Xiao Hu, you have to go to court later, right?" Old Man Tao felt that if he didn't speak up to remind them, the wine jug would at most be able to pour out two tablespoons of salt.

He also has to go to court with Brother Hui later, but no one will say anything if he drinks.

Of course, if it’s not enough, you can just ask someone to go to the wine cellar and get another pot.

However, the rule in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is that no matter who you are, once you sit down to eat, you don't need to be served by others.

He could go and get the wine himself, but going back and forth would waste time. Was he going to let Brother Hui go to court first because he was too drunk?

Shang Xiaohu was stunned when he heard this. Yes, how could he have forgotten this?

I looked at Brother Hui, feeling extremely remorseful. What was going on? I just said I was joking, so why was I so angry?

"Your Majesty, how about I take a sick leave this afternoon?" Shang Xiaohu tentatively discussed with Brother Hui.

Brother Hui felt very sympathetic towards Shang Xiaohu's actions just now.

Outsiders cannot understand the meaning of this big family centered around the mother.

However, if you have been in contact with this place, especially many times, you can't help but want to join this big family.

Therefore, Brother Hui understands why Shang Xiaohu behaved like this.

Brother Hui knew very well how Shang Jia and Shang Xiaohu treated him.

Brother Hui personally has no objection to Shang Xiaohu wanting to become a member of this big family. However, if his father does not nod, Brother Hui will never speak up to help Shang Xiaohu.

You must never make another relative unhappy just because you want to have another relative.

"General Shang has never asked for leave, it's approved." Brother Hui said.

What else can I do? Should I put Shang Xiaohu in a difficult position? I can't do it, and I can't bear it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Hey." Shang Xiaohu didn't expect Brother Hui to agree, and he smiled happily.

After his request for leave was granted, Shang Xiaohu reached out and picked up the wine jug, but instead of pouring wine for himself, he respectfully filled Old Man Tao's glass.

Then, he picked up the small bowl and served the rice.

Xue Wenyu held the wine and salt and looked at Shang Xiaohu speechlessly.

When has he ever been chased away by someone for free food? He is so greedy that he wants more!

Xue Wenyu felt that there was nothing wrong with his attitude just now. If he opened this door today, he would have no idea how many brothers-in-law he would need in the future!

My teeth hurt just thinking about it!

"Thank you for your hard work today. Eat more. The weather is nice and cool now. Why don't you take me hunting someday? We can make pork hotpot, crispy roasted rabbit, roasted rabbit, and by the way, I suddenly remembered that when the weather is cooler, we can make cured rabbit. Then, the spicy fried cured rabbit meat will be delicious." Mu Yingbao hurried to coax her man, otherwise the atmosphere at the dinner table would still be tense. The purpose of a dinner party is to create a happy atmosphere!

Xue Wenyu knew what his wife meant, so he immediately smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, someone else spoke first.

"Sister-in-law, leave it to me. Some of my men are experts at hunting rabbits. When it's cooler, I'll ask them to hunt more and send them to me." Shang Xiaohu blurted out excitedly. After he finished speaking, he realized something, shrank his neck immediately, and quickly moved his gaze back to the food on the table.

Xue Wenyu, who had just been flattered by his wife, gnashed his teeth at the boy who didn't dislike him at first, but was lowering his head to pick up food and shoveling rice into his mouth. Good, very good, it seems that he will order them to keep a closer eye on the door of the Yangxin Palace in the future. Mu Yingbao, Old Man Tao and Brother Hui watched this scene and couldn't help but hold back their laughter. Xue Wenyu and Shang Xiaohu, these two men, are both brave men who led troops to fight bravely on the battlefield, but in private, they actually have such a childish and cute side! Apart from the interlude, the atmosphere in the whole courtyard is very good.

Because it was noon, everyone did not eat and chat for more than an hour like they usually did during dinner.

When they had almost finished eating, they all stood up and, with a clear division of labor, cleaned up the dishes and carried the tables and chairs to the warehouse and put them away.

Brother Hui went back to his room, changed into his dragon robe, said hello to Mu Yingbao and the others, and then went to court with Old Man Tao. Although Shang Xiaohu had asked for leave and didn't have to go to court, he didn't dare to stay. He said hello to Mu Yingbao and the others, and left with the subordinate who brought the rabbit. "General, bring your subordinates with you next time."

"You're dreaming. I don't even know if I can get in next time, so why would I bring you along?"

Mu Yingbao and the other person did not hear this conversation outside the palace gate.

Chef Hua has entered the kitchen and started preparing dishes for another table. He will relieve the on-duty shift once the meal is ready.

After Xue Wenyu and the other man finished their meal, they headed for the small garden and took a stroll. Then Mu Yingbao came back to take a nap.

"While it doesn't rain these few days, we should ask Nanzhu and the others to quickly collect some osmanthus flowers to make wine, and we should also dry more of them and keep them." Mu Yingbao said as he smelled the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the wind.

Osmanthus flowers need to be steamed and then dried in the sun.

You can add some when eating Yuanxiao, and you can also make osmanthus sachets and osmanthus cakes. It has many uses.

"There are many osmanthus trees in the Imperial Garden, and we don't have enough manpower. Tell Tuzi and the others to find someone who can do the work meticulously to help." Xue Wenyu offered advice.

He didn't feel at all that it was inappropriate to use those subordinates for such a trivial matter as picking osmanthus flowers.

"Imperial Garden? Not good." Mu Yingbao said this, but he didn't look like he felt it was bad.

"Not good?" Xue Wenyu looked at her with a smile.

Don't think he doesn't know that she has actually been thinking about the osmanthus flowers in the imperial garden for a long time.

Now that I think about it, it’s not good? It feels inappropriate?

He didn't feel at all that it was inappropriate to use those subordinates for such a trivial matter as picking osmanthus flowers.

"Imperial Garden? Not good." Mu Yingbao said this, but he didn't look like he felt it was bad.

"Not good?" Xue Wenyu looked at her with a smile.

Don't think he doesn't know that she has actually been thinking about the osmanthus flowers in the imperial garden for a long time.

Now that I think about it, it’s not good? It feels inappropriate?

Regardless of whether ghosts would believe this, Xue Wenyu didn't believe it anyway.

But, what's the problem with this?

Xue Wenyu was still concerned about what his wife was thinking at the moment. It seemed that she still had no intention of telling him...
