The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.
Chapter 172 Hot Pot and Drunk
In the evening, hot pot was cooked in the house and divided into three tables.
Jiang Shian and his group sat at one table, the shadow guards sat at another table, and the other servants who were still in the mansion sat at another table.
The dipping sauce and the base of the pot are both prepared by Jiang Shi'an.
In order to eat this hot pot, Jiang Shian specially used butter to make a spicy hot pot base, and there is also a tomato hot pot base suitable for people who can't eat spicy food.
Before winter came, he asked Butler Qian to go to the blacksmith shop to make the pot.
The blueprint he drew himself was not difficult, and the blacksmith made it and delivered it to your house in three days. Today was the first time he started working on it.
"When the soup boils, you can add the side dishes. You can eat for a while. The pot is full of stewed beef. Just put the tofu and coriander in and blanch them. Don't cook them for too long, or they will taste bad..."
Everyone nodded and started to eat.
"Try this. I didn't know potatoes could be so delicious."
"The tofu is also good, tender and smooth. And this, what is it called?"
"Beef balls, I don't even know that."
Two jars of wine delivered in the afternoon were also opened.
Everyone went from table to table, temporarily putting aside their status concerns, toasting each other and chatting.
Jiang Shian also drank several cups. The wine made from this fruit had a light taste, sour and sweet, which was quite good.
He went to the table where the servants were sitting and listened to everyone talking about the gossip in the city during that time.
The servants pass on news the fastest and know the most.
Jiang Shian even learned about Jiang Xian's current situation from them.
Jiang Xian's life in prison could be said to be worse than death. His legs were completely broken from being beaten with sticks, and his lower body was paralyzed. Without Jiang Boyuan, no one sent money to the yamen anymore, and the guards no longer cared about his life or death. Now he was waiting to die in prison.
His friends were less seriously injured, as they had elders at home and someone brought them medicine after they were beaten. They stayed in the hospital for about half a month before being taken away.
At this time, the whole family has moved to other places to do business.
However, the suffering they have endured in these days is enough to teach this group of people a lesson, and they will certainly not dare to act so arrogantly in the future.
"The scholar from the Li family just came back from the capital. I heard that not only did he not get a good score in the exam, but he also forced his fiancée who was waiting for him at home to jump into the river and commit suicide."
"real or fake?"
"My aunt next door saw it with her own eyes. She went to the river to wash clothes and saw a body floating on the river. She reported it to the police and found out it was that young lady. This scholar is really a piece of shit. He was able to enter the capital with the money of the young lady's family. He didn't pass the exam and didn't know how to make progress. He started to linger in the world of women. He heard that the woman outside was pregnant, so he asked him to kick his fiancée out..."
Jiang Shian listened to people's gossip while blanching beef, his ears perked up.
This is so exciting.
Jiang Shian thought of a woman he knew who was in a similar situation, and asked curiously, "Hongguo, have you heard about how the prefect's wife is doing now?"
When the maid named Hongguo heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw that it was the young master of the mansion. She blushed and quickly replied, "She is doing well. I have heard other sisters mention her before. She seems to be living in a farm outside the city. When the family was searched, I heard that the adults left her a sum of money, which is enough for her to spend her old age in peace."
Jiang Shian nodded and glanced at Ji Yinghuai behind him. There was no doubt that it was the other party who did it.
He looked at the people at the table who were originally talking lively but now a little awkward, and said in a gentle tone: "Why are you all so awkward? There is no difference in status today. Keep talking. I really like to hear this."
Several maids and servants looked at each other. In fact, they were not very afraid of the masters who were in charge of the mansion now. They were not the second masters in the past, who had strange tempers and often got angry and beat and scolded the servants.
These two masters have very good tempers, and the tasks they assign to them are relatively easy.
They all knew that it was the young master who suggested that they get together for dinner tonight.
Everyone's feelings for each other deepened, and they no longer cared about anything else. They started chatting and gossiping.
Jiang Shian listened with great interest, nodding and agreeing with a sentence or two from time to time.
It wasn't until his collar was grabbed from behind that Jiang Shian turned around to look.
Ji Yinghuai lowered his eyes and looked at him, with no warmth in his eyes.
"Didn't you say you would drink with me?"
Jiang Shian pulled Ji Yinghuai's hand away: "I saw you and big brother were drinking happily and didn't want to disturb you, why did you come here?"
"Heh, why doesn't our young master want to see me?" Ji Yinghuai glanced at him coldly.
If he didn't come over soon, he would have to get together with the maids.
Are you so happy?
He was sitting far away and could see Jiang Shian laughing so hard that his teeth were showing.
Jiang Shian: “…”
This sour taste is so familiar. Why is this man jealous?
Jiang Shian rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Although the servants were not afraid of the two masters in the mansion, the cold aura of Master Ji, especially when his eyes swept across you, could inevitably make people feel intimidated.
Seeing the two people arguing, they took a few steps back holding the bowls in their hands.
Jiang Shian also noticed it and pulled Ji Yinghuai's sleeve and walked back to the table.
"Why are you so jealous? I just said a few more words to them."
"Is it necessary to get so close to each other when talking? Our faces are almost touching. Why don't I see you being so intimate with me?" Ji Yinghuai continued to accuse in a sour tone.
Jiang Shian gritted his teeth and said, "I am a boy and they are girls. What are you worried about? They just told me some gossip. If you want to know, I will tell you one by one tonight."
"Is it really just that? You are always the one who picks on others, and you are so slow..." Ji Yinghuai looked at Jiang Shian suspiciously and continued to mutter to himself.
In the past, he believed everything Jiang Shian said, but after what happened at noon, he had a better understanding of why Jiang Shian was attractive.
Jiang Shian has no other intentions towards those people, but those people may not be the same, so he still has to take precautions.
Ji Yinghuai felt that his decision was correct, and he was more certain that he should be more careful about people with bad intentions in the future.
Jiang Shian looked at Ji Yinghuai's face uncertainly.
There was something wrong with Ji Yinghuai's state, and there was a gleam of sourness in his tone.
It’s not like Ji Yinghuai hasn’t been jealous before, but this man always looked calm and wouldn’t show it too obviously. But tonight…
He reached out and poked Ji Yinghuai's face, but the man didn't react much and looked at him with a dazed look.
Oh my god, Jiang Shian widened his eyes in horror.
This guy must be drunk.
It was the first time he saw Ji Yinghuai drunk.
Not to mention he's a bit cute, he won't act crazy when drunk, whatever he's thinking is shown on his face, his tone is a bit silly, he just says whatever he's thinking, which is frank and cute.
Jiang Wenjing had already moved to the table next to Yingwei and his friends when the two were talking in a flirtatious manner. Given the atmosphere between the two, he was a bit of an eyesore here.
Ji Yinghuai reached out and held Jiang Shian's fingers before he could retract them.
Then he pulled Jiang Shian's hand and poked his face again, saying seriously, "Why are you looking at others? Look at me."
"Ji Er, I didn't expect you to be like this when you were drunk." Jiang Shian let Ji Yinghuai pull his hand and poke him everywhere. Looking at the man's somewhat childish behavior, his face was full of smiles.
He was also a little confused. His elder brother was not drunk yet, so how come Ji Yinghuai, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, got drunk so quickly today?
The shadow guards sitting nearby were also puzzled. As the commander-in-chief, he could not get drunk to pass out when celebrating a victory at the border, in case of any emergency, it would cause trouble.
But their master had been drinking for half the night, consuming jar after jar of liquor, and apart from a slight drunkenness on his face, he did not look dull at all.
Jiang Wenjing held up five fingers to them: "Two jars of fifty-year-old wine, we must drink them together."
No wonder, if he drinks like this, even a Golden Immortal would get drunk.
