Chapter 26 - Quiet before counterattack
Pei Cheng was discouraged and did not continue to haunt Jiang Yanzhi. He dropped the sentence: “You read on” and went straight to the low couch.
Jiang Rongzhi glanced at Pei Cheng sitting opposite him, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Yanzhi’s direction, only to see that the little guy’s line of sight still followed Pei Cheng’s eyes. Pei Cheng lowered his eyes, his eyes full of deep thought.
If things are what he thinks, then the East Courtyard will be lively in the future.
Pei Cheng sat dejected on the low couch, not paying attention to the pitiful line of sight behind him, not to mention Jiang Rong’s strange expression.
It didn’t take long before the door knocked again outside the house. After getting permission from the house, Donglai came in with four maids carrying hot meals and waited for the meals to be put on the round table before flashing away.
Donglai stood at the round table and waited for the three masters to eat.
Jiang Rinzhi generally didn’t like having too many people watching beside him when he was eating, so when he usually eats, only Donglai is waiting at the table.
But Donglai was a little too busy to serve three masters at the same time, so it didn’t take long for Sanxi to come in and follow him.
When Jiang Yanzhi saw Sanxi coming in, he held the chopsticks tightly and almost poked the chopsticks into the soup.
Jiang Rinzhi first traced Jiang Yanzhi’s eccentricity into his eyes without any traces. Then he glanced at Sanxi, who was not so different. It seemed that Jiang Yanzhi had a reason for these two days of eccentricity.
Pei Cheng was in a bad mood, and he couldn’t eat anything if he ate anything. He wiped the corner of his mouth, took the medicine soup Sanxi passed, frowned, and sipped it out.
His condition has been repeated over the past few days, and has not completely improved, so he can only continue to take medicine.
Jiang Yanzhi eats a little bit slow and eats less, and puts down the chopsticks without eating two. Jiang Yanzhi put his hands on his knees and looked at Pei Cheng without blinking, with some obvious expectations in his eyes.
Pei Cheng wiped the corners of Jiang Yanzhi’s mouth with a clean cloth towel, picked up the soup bowl that Jiang Yanzhi hadn’t moved, and said seriously: “Why didn’t you eat anything? Open your mouth and drink the soup.”
I do n’t know if it ’s really full or fake. In short, when Pei Cheng scooped up a spoonful of soup and delivered it to Jiang Yanzhi ’s mouth, Jiang Yanzhi opened his mouth obediently and sipped it out. A bowl of soup.
Jiang Rongzhi had already put down the tableware and chopsticks. After Jiang Yan knew that all the soup was finished, he said: “Let’s go out together later, he should have never seen the Lantern Festival.”
“He” in Jiang Rin’s mouth refers to Jiang Yanzhi.
Pei Cheng put down the soup bowl and nodded. Jiang Rongzhi was right. Jiang Yanzhi, who had never been out of the door of the Dalian partial courtyard since childhood, had never seen the so-called Lantern Festival.
After a long meal, after a short rest, the three of them would go out to see the lantern.
But when the three had not yet reached the door, he saw Uncle Jiang’s personal little buddy walking in and said respectfully, “Second lord, second **** lady, wise master, good.”
Jiang Rongzhi frowned, “What’s the matter?”
The little man bowed to his waist and said, “The uncle and the young lady will also go out to see the lantern. The uncle orders the villain to find the second grandfather and go to the lotus pavilion to see the lantern.
The Lantern Festival in Hwaseong City is no less than the lively New Year, so generally at this time, no matter whether it is the ordinary people who are making money every day, or the rich gentry and nobles who own the high-gate mansion with 100 acres of fields, or the officials of Yamen Master, basically go to see the lantern on the night of the Lantern Festival.
Therefore, it is not difficult to explain why Uncle Jiang, who stays in the shop all day and night, will have this leisurely accompaniment to accompany his wife and children to see the lantern.
