Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 79 The Old Eunuch

I don't like Xie Beijing's arrogant attitude, but he has the capital to be arrogant and domineering.

Shen Yan could only endure his displeasure, waiting for Xie Beijing to make mistakes in the future, and use Yushi's impeachment to teach Xie Beijing a lesson.

Eunuch Zhou praised the emperor for his wisdom, and said with a smile: "The tiger that made a mistake must be the one raised by Miss Fourth. The tiger that grew up in the mountains is ignorant and has no respect for people. After hurting someone, it is Miss Fourth's fault."

Without mentioning the matter of the tiger, Shen Yan asked Zhao Pingce how the two were doing, "I asked them to guard the Beast Garden, get in touch with each other and build a good relationship, and we will work together for me in the future."

Eunuch Zhou shook his head and said that Jiang Chenqi was too aloof and did not pay attention to Zhao Huwei's initiative.

Hearing this news, Shen Yan was in a good mood for some reason.

Jiang Chenqi was also in a good mood, sitting under the tree and tasting the sauced donkey meat that Master Hou asked the dark guard to send, "Donkey meat tastes good, where did the dark guard buy the sauced donkey meat, next time I'm greedy, I'll buy a few catties to make it Food and drink."

The hidden guard not only brought sauced donkey meat, but also two jars of fine wine as ordered by Lord Hou.The fine wine collected by the Hou Mansion tastes better than the fine wine prepared by Zhao Pingce.

Xie Jinghuai smiled triumphantly. You can't buy such delicious sauced donkey meat in the capital, "The cook of the Hou Mansion made it. This cook is from the north and is good at cooking with sauce. I also think the sauced donkey meat is delicious, and the taste is similar to Commander Jiang. Commander Jiang, you have a taste of the fine wine, and I will accompany you for a few drinks."

Raising the wine glass to clink with Lord Hou, Jiang Chenqi can drink a lot, after drinking two glasses of fine wine, she will not drink more, "The taste is not as good as the monkey wine. I have to thank the fourth lady for mentioning the monkey wine. Thanks to her, I drank the famous monkey wine." wine."

I don't know how the wild monkeys in the mountains pick wild fruits to make wine. Could it be that they have mastered the way of making fruit wine and passed it down from generation to generation.

Jiang Chenqi was amused by this thought, and felt that she was thinking too much.

The fine wine he collected was not as good as the monkey wine prepared by his little aunt. Xie Jinghuai felt a little unhappy, "I drank the monkey wine before, but it was not as good as the fine wine I collected. My fine wine was aged. This kind of wine is good Stuff, the longer it is left, the more mellow it will be."

Jiang Chenqi was thoughtful, remembering the mellow taste of the monkey wine, and said with a smile: "The wine that the monkey gave to the fourth lady should not be brewed last year. It must not be younger. It tastes more mellow than this fine wine. The monkeys are very smart , know how to use monkey wine to make a deal, offering monkey wine will not make you hungry in winter, this is a good deal.”

Those monkeys have human nature, their eyes don't look like animals at all, and they don't understand anything.

The group of monkeys in the monkey garden played and played around without any pursuit, and they were pure monkeys with clear eyes.

Do the monkeys on the mountain know how to store monkey wine? Xie Jinghuai didn't know this, so he didn't dare to go back to the Marquis Mansion to taste the fine wine, "Let's go back to the grocery store as soon as we leave the Beast Park, and we will feel safe staying by Senior Zhao's side."

When to leave the emperor has the final say, Jiang Chenqi persuaded the insecure Hou Ye to go back first, "I can't guess what the fourth lady is thinking, maybe she will break into the beast garden again, your disguise can't escape her sharp eyes last time Senior Zhao made a move Only then did Miss Fourth leave, now that Senior Zhao is not here, you and I are no match for Miss Fourth."

Unwilling to leave Jiang Chenqi's side, Xie Jinghuai thought that people like Commander Jiang were afraid of stalking.He doesn't want to lose face, and he wants to pester Jiang Chenqi, pursuing what face his sweetheart wants.

"I'm worried if I don't look at you. Zhao Pingce wants to persuade you to be his sister-in-law. Don't listen to his sweet words. The Zhao family is a big family with many rules. It is not easy to marry Commander Zhao. If you want to marry, choose a family with few rules and easy to get along with. "

For example, their Xie family is good, they can be the hostess of the Marquis Mansion when they marry in, and there are no complicated rules, which saves a lot of trouble.

Let Hou Ye not have to worry, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "It's meaningless to get married. I have an official position and a salary, and now I have a shop with a small business, so why bother to marry and ask for trouble. You are a man, Hou Ye, so you don't think getting married is troublesome, I think There is no need to get married, one can live a chic life. A woman as powerful as Fourth Miss doesn't need to marry to be a good wife and mother."

Why did Jiang Chenqi bring up her little aunt again, she must not be like her, learn how arrogant and unreasonable she is.

Xie Jinghuai became depressed, looking forward to his little aunt leaving the capital.It would be great to go to other places to visit mountains and rivers, don't continue to influence Jiang Chenqi's thoughts.

After a sound sleep, Jiang Chenqi got up early and left the small courtyard for a walk, and ran into an old eunuch sweeping the floor.Seeing the other party's gray temples, I feel sympathy, cutting off family ties and entering the palace to serve the royal family, and doing chores in the beast garden in old age, this life is really hard.

Taking out half a bag of sauced donkey meat from her sleeve, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "The weather has become cold recently, so I should wear thicker clothes in the morning. Yesterday I was greedy and ordered my followers to buy donkey meat. This is the leftover meat. If you don't mind, take it away." Come down."

I don't know how the old eunuch who does chores in the Beast Park is treated, but seeing the other person's thin body, Jiang Chenqi guesses that the food here is not good.

The old eunuch raised his head, showing a face full of vicissitudes, waved his hands and refused to accept the donkey meat, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Commander Jiang for your kindness, this old slave is not worthy of accepting your things, eat it later You won't be hungry for breakfast."

Telling the old man to be polite, Jiang Chenqi stuffed the sauced donkey meat into the opponent's arms, "It's a bit greasy after eating too much sauced donkey meat, just accept what's given to you."

After sending out the sauced donkey meat, Jiang Chenqi continued to walk with her hands behind her back, until she came to the place where the birds inhabited.

Looking at the flying birds standing by the stream catching fish, Jiang Chenqi felt that they were very diligent, even more diligent than the fat cat raised by the fat aunt next door.

Xie Jinghuai found Jiang Chenqi and asked Commander Jiang how he was sleeping at night, "The Beast Garden is very quiet. I didn't hear the rooster crowing in the morning. I'm not used to it. When I lived in Xicheng District, the rooster crowed before dawn. I'm not used to it, I wish I could find those ignorant roosters and kill them to make chicken soup."

Jiang Chenqi pursed her lips and laughed, feeling that Ming Yinghou was a bit childish in private, "Don't mess with big roosters, crowing is their nature. Just like these flying birds get up early to catch fish, many animals cannot resist their instincts."

A group of red-crowned cranes flew over and hovered over the creek, attracting Jiang Chenqi's attention.

"Red-crowned cranes, like white cranes, are elegant birds, more pleasing than chirping sparrows. There are not many sparrows in the beast garden, but there are many sparrows in Xicheng District, and you can hear them chirping every day."

The quiet red-crowned cranes are naturally more pleasing than sparrows. Xie Jinghuai said with a smile: "Little aunt is willing to raise red-crowned cranes. This kind of flying bird is so charming, and it looks good in the backyard. If you have to raise two tigers, it's a good thing the Hou Mansion doesn't share with other people." People come and go, if not, no one will visit the door as a guest."

The old eunuch who was sweeping the floor with his head bowed in the distance, tremblingly sweeping the fallen leaves, his ears trembling slightly looked at Xie Jinghuai from the corner of his eye.

Xie Jinghuai chatted with Jiang Chenqi without noticing the scrutinizing gaze.
