After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 73

Away from their wives and children, these low-level officials only make such a trip to earn a living.

If the news about drinking and eating with prisoners of the imperial court reaches the higher authorities, it is difficult to guarantee that this small official position will be lost, and the iron rice bowl will be lost.

Ruan He's consideration was reasonable. Li Jiang also fell silent after hearing this, but Lao Jiu thought it was nothing. It was such a big deal that they saved him. What happened to having a meal?

He gave another word or two of persuasion, "Why don't you just sneak over there and don't let anyone see you?"

When Mu Yunxiao came over, he also listened to what they said completely. His expression was calm, which naturally supported Ruan He's consideration.

"Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness. Our family appreciates it."

Li Jiang nodded slightly and said nothing more. Lao Jiu sighed regretfully and could only follow the leader and turn around and leave.

When Ruan He was about to turn around and return to the cabin, his wrist was gently held. He raised his eyes in confusion and met Mu Yunxiao's dark, guilty gaze.

"It was me who caused you to become a guilty person and have many inconveniences."

A low hoarse voice came with a sigh.

His wife is smart and has a certain ruthlessness, and her brain is much more active than ordinary people. If she hadn't married him, her life would definitely be much better than it is now.

After hearing this, Ruan He couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head, and pulled him back to the cabin without saying anything more.

Not long after the two of them walked back to the cabin, there was another deep knock on the door outside.

The sound of Wang Xiaoer's low voice came through the wooden door panel.

"Brother Mu, open the door, I have something important to see you!"

At this time, it was dark, and the officials were gathered on the deck to prepare a fish feast. The sound of drinking and shouting was so loud that it could be heard in their ears from a distance.

If Wang Xiaoer doesn't join everyone to drink and eat fish, what is he doing here again?
Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He looked at each other in tacit understanding, and Mu Yunxiao stood up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Xiaoer stood outside happily. He must have taken a few sips of wine, his face turned red and he burped.

"Brother Mu."

Wang Xiaoer bared his teeth and smiled, his eyes darting around flexibly. It could be seen that he was still awake. He held a large bamboo basket in his arms and quietly pushed the door open and put it into the room.

"I've already taken care of this important matter, brother, I'm leaving!"

Wang Xiaoer pointedly patted the big bamboo basket on the ground, said nothing, scratched his head and walked away happily.

Ruan He vaguely understood something, closed the cabin door silently, picked up the big bamboo basket and put it on the table.

As soon as the floral cloth covering the top was lifted, the fresh aroma mixed with various dishes and banquets immediately wafted out and filled the entire cabin.

There are multiple small bowls neatly placed in the big bamboo basket, and each bowl contains fresh fish prepared in different ways. It is ready for stir-frying, cooking and roasting!
Mrs. Mutai was sitting aside and resting. She also saw Wang Xiaoer sneaking over to deliver the meal and sighed softly.

"Xiao'er, this person is worth making friends with."

Wang Xiaoer is smart and not rigid, and he also remembers kindness. He can get along well with all the officials. Just being an escort official here is really an underachievement.

It's a pity that they are no longer the high-ranking Yongning Houfu family members before, otherwise they would definitely try their best to promote him.

Before Mrs. Mutai had time to sigh, several juniors at the other end had already invited her grandmother to come over for a late-night snack.

The fragrant dishes were all full of flavor, light, salty, sour and spicy. A dozen small bowls filled the not-so-large square table.

The whole family sat around the table, enjoying themselves listening to the lively drinking and shouting of the officials outside.Mu Yuanyuan's big round eyes widened, her small mouth chewed on the fish fillets that Mrs. Mu Tai had just picked up for her, she exclaimed exaggeratedly, and mumbled in a milky voice: "Grandma picked this one." Delicious!"

The little guy's mouth is full of oil after eating, and his big eyes are blinking brightly, which is very cute.

A childish saying made Mrs. Mutai smile happily, and she gave her precious granddaughter several pieces of fish fillets.

"If the round ones are delicious, eat more. Grandma will pick them up for you."

Ruan He turned his eyes and saw Mu Yunxiao eating silently beside her. She felt a little teasing in her mind for no reason.

She pushed lightly, snorted softly, her clear eyes flashed with cunning, and asked deliberately: "How does it compare to my craftsmanship?"

It tastes so delicious!

She didn't believe that the spicy grilled fish she carefully cooked would be inferior to that of the rough men in the official department!
"Madam's craftsmanship is naturally superior."

Mu Yunxiao didn't expect that Madam would suddenly "offend". He was slightly startled, smiled lowly, and responded in a good-natured manner.

Ruan He glanced at him, but said nothing more and continued to enjoy his delicious supper.

Not to mention, the dishes cooked by the old men on the official mission are also very fragrant, and everything is delicious.

Maybe it’s because I’m used to eating brown-noodle steamed buns, and the raw materials for these dishes are fresh, fat fish with delicious meat. Each dish is cooked to suit your appetite and leaves a fragrant aroma in your mouth.

Mu Yuanyuan was a well-behaved and lovable little girl. She blinked her big, smart eyes, and looked at several elders who couldn't help teasing her.

After a while, the little guy's bowl was filled with fish slices. She giggled with joy and thanked her sweetly like smearing honey on her mouth.

"Thank you grandma!"

"Thank you mom!"

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

"Why don't you thank me, brother?" Mu Yunchao deliberately made things difficult for the little guy, staring at her and asking back.

He also picked up food for this little guy. How could he recognize his grandmother and sister-in-law?
"Thank you, brother!" Mu Yuanyuan, this little guy, is very clever and immediately coaxes people without any ambiguity.

A sweet and childish voice made Mu Yunchao happy, and he couldn't help but pinch her little face.

Mu Yuanyuan giggled, with a pair of sweet little pear dimples appearing next to her round little face. Her silver bell-like laughter floated in the room, and the whole family, who had suffered so much in exile, had no reason to laugh. Relaxed.

The family was having a good meal when someone knocked on the big wooden door of the cabin again!

"Open the door! Open the door!"

The banging on the door was accompanied by a rough male voice, filled with anger and impatience.

It was a completely unfamiliar voice.

Through the irritable tone of voice, it is also obvious that the visitor is not kind.

Several people at the dinner table looked at each other in confusion. Mu Yunxiao frowned slightly, stood up and walked to open the door.

As soon as the wooden door opened, a man and a woman stood one behind the other outside. They looked like a couple. They should be ordinary people taking the boat.

The man standing in front had a fierce and irritable expression, with veins popping out on his forehead. He looked unkindly through the crack in the door at the fragrant vegetable feast on the table, and he became even more angry for no reason.
