Chapter 159 The General Became the Biggest Victim

I'm afraid that if you push too hard, it will be counterproductive, so that you can push your heart on Her Royal Highness, so that people can't even refuse!
As long as that brat in her family has half the tricks, how could she fall to the point where she would come out to snatch her daughter-in-law at a young age?

Under such circumstances, Mrs. Xiao's mentality gradually became difficult to maintain when she looked at the handsome young man who was doing good and good manners.

After a few cold dishes were put on the table, the main course was served soon.

"The river prawns look quite fresh—"

Shaoyan smiled and picked up a shrimp and put it on the plate in front of him. When he was about to peel it, Heng Yu seemed to say casually: "Cuihuai, help peel the shrimp, don't let Shaoyan get his hands dirty."

Cui Huai replied "Yes", and picked up a clean wet cloth to wipe her hands.

The boy paused slightly for the hand that was stretched out to peel the prawns, and nodded with a smile when he took it back: "Alright, then it will be hard work."

Seeing this, Pei Wushuang blinked, and lightly poked Gu Tingnan who was beside him, with a teasing smile in his eyes——A Heng specially asked the envoy to peel the prawns for Mr. Shaoyan!
Gu Tingnan glanced at her, smiled and shook his head slightly.

Where is the maid to peel the shrimp for Mr. Shaoyan?

This is obviously not to give Mr. Shaoyan the opportunity to peel the shrimp for her——

Wushuang, a girl whose mind is full of love and love, is still too superficial to see things.

Under the sign of Mrs. Xiao's eyes, Chunjuan also cleaned her hands.

For a while, the female envoys peeled the shrimp and the cloth.

At the table for entertaining guests, there is no need to follow the rules of eating without talking, and because Gu Tingnan and Pei Wushuang are there, talking and laughing is quite lively.

Mrs. Xiao always had a smile on her face, but under the smile was a heart that was getting more and more anxious.

"Ah Heng, try these spring rolls!" Unwilling to sit still, Mrs. Xiao took a spring roll and sent it to Heng's jade plate, and said with a smile, "The stuffing made of spring bamboo shoots is delicious and refreshing."

"Thank you, Auntie." Heng Yu picked up and took a bite. The outer skin was fried just right, and the inside was filled with spring bamboo shoots, diced eggs, shredded fungus and carrots, which was fresh but not greasy.

"It's time to eat spring bamboo shoots." Shaoyan put a piece of fish meat that had been picked out into a Hengyu bowl, and said in a warm voice: "At this time in the past, we always eat noodles with bamboo shoots. After returning to Beijing, I happened to be able to pick spring bamboo shoots and make you a bowl of Guijia noodles."

Cui Huai casually smiled and said, "Mr. Shaoyan's bamboo shoot noodles, the girl must be panicked."

"Mr. Shaoyan also knows how to make pasta?" Mrs. Xiao hurriedly answered the question.

"It's all about doing something random, it's just that His Highness and A Heng are willing to eat a few bites." The young man said modestly.

Mrs. Xiao smiled unabated, and said: "Coincidentally, that kid in my family can cook some pasta, such as Hanamaki pancakes, Yangchun noodles, stewed noodles, and he can barely cook so many kinds!"

"?" Wang Jingyong looked at his wife in astonishment.

Shao Yan was quite surprised: "Emissary Xiao still has such skills?"

"It can't be called a craft." Mrs. Xiao shook her head, and said very nonchalantly: "It's just a march and a battle, the conditions are inevitably more difficult, and as time goes on, everything will be more or less good... ..."

Wang Jingyong: "...!"

But this one really won't!

And, Hanamaki, Shaobing, Yangchun Noodles, Braised Noodles?

Madam wants the general to be proficient in too many tricks!
"Xiao Jie is busy with military affairs, yet he has such a meticulous side, it is really extraordinary." Shaoyan exclaimed sincerely.

Hengyu was inevitably shocked too.

There are so many surprises in Xiao Hou, is it something she doesn't know?
The people at the table discussed for a long time about Xiaohou's pasta making skills.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao talked more and more, she enjoyed the hard-won high ground, and even suggested to Hengyu: "When you arrive in Beijing, you will not be idle. There is no rush to drive around these few days. Let's taste the scenery tomorrow morning. craftsmanship!"

Deputy General Wang could already hear the toes in his boots gripping the ground tightly.

It's hard to believe that there are people in the world who are better and stronger than him!
And it is the strength of good others!

Just as he was sitting on pins and needles for his general's situation, Gu Tingnan beside him changed the topic: "It's not too late, so do you want to go around later?"

Wang Jingyong gave her a rare look of gratitude.

"Ah Heng must have been tired from walking. When I came here just now, I saw there was a music hall across the street, and I could faintly hear the sound of Qin and Zither in harmony. How about sitting down and listening to the music after dinner?" Shaoyan suggested.

When Hengyu was in the capital, she loved to hang out at the music workshop, and this proposal was obviously to please her.

But at this time, he said: "You seldom travel far. You must be tired all the way here. It's better to go back to the post house to rest earlier. Those who listen to the music and don't listen to the music are only for entertainment in their free time. Really If you want to hear it, it won’t be too late when you return to Beijing.”

Shaoyan smiled and nodded: "Alright."

Mrs. Xiao, who had just had a headache and hadn't calmed down, took a sip of tea when she heard the words, and said: "Qin, music, I have always been ignorant...Jing Shi has studied music theory a little bit, and he can be regarded as a good player." Where is the piano?"

Wang Jingyong's eyelashes trembled.

The general plays the piano?

He has been with the general all these years, and he has never seen the general and that thing appear together!

"Master Hou is good at piano?" Heng Yu asked subconsciously.

But as soon as I asked, I already had the answer in my heart.

Ever since she met him, she only knew that he wore armor and a sword, and had a great reputation, and he had established the image of a general inside and out, but she subconsciously ignored one thing——

The eldest son of Shu Guogong's mansion, the former noble son of the capital, the art of elegance will never be left behind.

"This is not my aunt's boasting." Mrs. Xiao talked about this, she was quite confident, and the corners of her eyes stretched out with a smile: "I will ask him to play it for you to listen to later!"

As he spoke, he gradually raised his head again: "Just playing the piano is boring, and let him dance the sword for us to see!"

A picture appeared in his mind uncontrollably, and Wang Jingyong's pupils trembled slightly.

Is the general a singer and dancer?

The general's sword is good, but it's for killing people!

Why did it suddenly become a flattery?

How did it get down to this...

Hearing his wife's eloquent voice and looking at the table of food, Vice General Wang felt a little heavy.

If he continues to eat like this, he will really be afraid that the general will not be able to bear it...

Who would have thought that the general was the biggest victim of this meal tonight even though he was not present?
Vice-General Wang stood in a dignified state, only to see a lion's head picked up by a chopstick and put into his bowl.

He couldn't really come back to his senses for a while, and without thinking about it, he subconsciously swallowed two mouthfuls.

After chewing to the end, he was bewildered for a moment before turning his head to look at the people around him.

Why did she serve him vegetables?
No matter what kind of diligence--

"I'm in a daze because of patronizing, why, don't you worry that the silly dog ​​is in the posthouse by himself?" Gu Tingnan asked in a low voice.

Wang Jingyong chewed it twice more, swallowed the last bite, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

I heard her confess in a low voice: "Go back later and bring some bones to it, and this duck..."

Wang Jingyong frowned unbearably, lowered his voice and said, "It can only drink milk now! How can you—"

When the word "mother" came to his lips, he swallowed it back.

That said, this is an irresponsible woman!

As with humans, so with dogs!
What else did you say to leave the father and keep the son, and it's up to her to raise him well?
Vice-General Wang was inexplicably angry and turned his head away.

Gu Tingnan looked at him, puzzled and asked: "How can I be... what? I've finished my sentence."

"...You know it yourself." Wang Jingyong frowned, muttered, stuffed two pieces of braised beef into his mouth, and stopped talking.

Gu Tingnan stared at his side face, which was stuffed with flesh, but the resolute lines were still visible, and couldn't help laughing.

It seems a bit human.

She just said, there is no puppy in this world who is not warm, even if it is a piece of iron.

……

"General, Ma'am and Master Ji are back." Jin Sui Shiyi reported to Xiao Mu.

Sitting cross-legged behind the desk, Xiao Mu, who was dealing with official duties, didn't look up, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Got it."

"That Mr. Shaoyan came back together?" Yin Hai, who was guarding outside, took the opportunity to follow in and asked.

"Yes, after that, this person and Painter Ji talked alone in the front yard for half an hour." Eleven replied.

Xiao Mu's wrist froze, the nib of the pen stopped, and a ball of ink was stained.

"Speak alone..." Yin Hai repeated, nodded understandingly and said, "It's also appropriate to meet again to reminisce about the old days."

If you ask him, half an hour is even shorter.

And choosing to speak in the front yard, it can be seen that there is a sense of avoidance, and there is a sense of propriety invisibly.

But these... Naturally, there is no need to say them at all.

Yin Hai looked at the young couple with a slight smile, and said with emotion: "My childhood sweetheart is recognized by the world, and it is really enviable..."

"Recognized by the world?" Xiao Mu still didn't raise his head, and said indifferently: "The world's ignorance is nothing more than what the world says. It's really absurd to spread rumors."

Yin Hai still smiled: "But the rumors have been spread for a long time, and it may come true..."

Xiao Mu raised his eyebrows with a little disdain: "She didn't mean it, so how can it be true."

Yin Hai understood.

Oh, the reason why the co-author can still sit still is here!
Now that he knows this root, if he doesn't pull it out, is it justified?

"Humans are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? If you don't care for a while, can you keep it for a lifetime?" Yin Hai sighed: "As the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of being entangled with her husband. What is even more valuable is a piece of sincerity and perseverance, who can say that water can’t wear stones?"

Xiao Mu raised his eyes and looked at him: "According to this, the girl from the Pei family can wait until she wears water through a rock?"

Yin Hai smiled slightly, but quickly returned to normal: "I am a Buddhist, how can I be compared? Master Ji is in the mundane world, and he is nostalgic for the mundane world, so he cannot escape the law of the mundane world—"

Very well, they started stabbing him in reverse, and it seems that this root has been pulled out at least halfway.

Just as Yin Hai was about to speak again, he heard a knock on the door.

"General—"

"Come in."

With Xiao Mu's permission, Wang Jingyong pushed the door open, saluted, and said in a complicated tone: "Madam, please come over."

"What can mother say?" Xiao Mu asked vigilantly.

After all... It is very possible to deliberately call him over and scold him to vent his anger.

Wang Jingyong: "Madam went to the kitchen to wait for the general."

Xiao Mu frowned in confusion: "The kitchen?"

There is no shortage of knives to cut people when traveling in the Dingbei Hou Mansion. No matter how angry my mother is, she will not go to the kitchen to get it?

　Goodnight everybody!
