Chapter 34 Purchasing New Year's Goods
Jiang Xian just quietly glanced at it for a few moments, and then put the letter on the table. only said coldly: "In the future, don't accept these things of unknown origin." ”
The housekeeper rarely saw Jiang Xian with this look on his face, no matter what happened on weekdays, the second son would always be humble and polite, and he didn't have any master's frame when he treated the people.
"Yes." The housekeeper saw that Jiang Xian's face was not good, so he hurriedly retreated.
Jiang Xian grabbed the bag of medicinal herbs and walked quickly to the gate of Jiang Mansion, he looked around, but did not see the person he had guessed.
He wasn't sure if it was the man who sent it himself.
"Jiang Xian, Jiang Xian, this time is different from the past, you are no longer people on the same road, it doesn't matter for a long time, how can people come here in person?" Jiang Xian smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned around and entered the mansion again.
It wasn't until Jiang Xian entered the door that the man who had been hiding in the corner outside the door appeared silently.
The man stood at the door for a long time before leaving silently.
When Guan Jiyu woke up, he was already on the sun.
She stretched, and after so long she was finally able to put her mind at ease and get a good night's sleep, she suddenly felt refreshed.
Remembering that he came back too late last night, and before he could give Jiang Qing a pillar of incense, he hurriedly freshened up and walked from Qing'anju to the mansion.
As soon as he walked to the door of the ancestral hall, Guan Jiyu saw that Jiang Yingnian was already inside.
I don't know when he came, Guan Jiyu stepped forward, lit incense and worshipped, and then retreated and knelt side by side with Jiang Yingnian.
She didn't say anything, and now that the revenge has been avenged, Jiang Qing's spirit in the sky has finally been able to rest in peace.
The eldest prince is in the sky, and he will definitely be able to see all this.
"Tomorrow night is Chinese New Year's Eve, so fast." Jiang Yingnian said such a sentence coldly.
Guan Jiyu thought that he was saying to Jiang Qing's spiritual position, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and Jiang Yingnian turned his head to her again and said: "I thought that the battle of Lonely Phong would definitely drag on until the end of the year, but I didn't expect it to end so quickly, and we can still spend this New Year at home." ”
"It's not a bad deal." Guan Jiyu remembered that every New Year in previous years, Jiang Qing would instruct his subordinates to purchase good things in advance, no matter what the house was like, in short, it would definitely make everyone in the Qingzi Camp have a lively New Year, and the food could also satisfy everyone, with chicken, duck, fish and meat.
This is the first year without Jiang Qing, she came back here, even if the big guys are there, she always feels that something is missing from the entire Jiang Mansion, and it no longer makes her feel as steady as before.
"How so?" Jiang Yingnian was surprised: "The New Year is going to have a New Year, the second brother is not feeling well, and I can only come to Zhang Luo to prepare for the New Year." ”
He stood up and said, "You have to help me, I can't get it alone." The eldest brother is gone, and we have to run the Jiang Mansion in a decent way, otherwise he will be disappointed. ”
This is one of the few conscientious things that Jiang Yingnian has said.
Guan Jiyu was actually moved by this sentence, no, she was more relieved than moved.
The last time I worshipped Jiang Qing with Jiang Yingnian in this ancestral hall, the two of them were very uneasy. At that time, what she was most worried about was that the eldest prince was gone, what should the entire Jiang Mansion do?
But in fact, Jiang Yingnian grew up at the fastest speed. Perhaps because of the loss of Jiang Qing, the wing that has always protected him, he has no choice but to force himself to grow up and force himself to face all the things in front of him that he needs to worry about.
"Okay." Guan Jiyu had no reason to refuse his invitation.
After that, the two called Han Xu together, and quickly went to the street to start buying New Year's goods.
Whether it is a shop or a small stall or a hawker on the street, all of them know the people of Jiangfu, especially when they see the little boy of Jiangfu personally leading people to the street to buy things, they greet them warmly.
"Yo! Isn't this the little prince of Jiangfu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you went to the northern border to fight, so you will return to our Nanqin so soon?! ”
"Jiang Gongzi, come and see the fish, the freshly killed fish is guaranteed to be fresh!"
"Jiang Gongzi, do you want the hot buns that just came out of the oven? Let's have a try! ”
Jiang Yingnian was greeted by Nanqin's kind voices, and he was in an extremely comfortable mood, and he accepted everything he greeted, whether he needed it or not.
Soon Han Xu couldn't help but say loudly: "Childe, are you trying to empty the entire street?" Almost. ”
Jiang Yingnian looked back and saw that Han Xu was full of big bags and small bags of things in his hands, carrying them on his shoulders and carrying them in his arms, which looked very hard!
Guan Jiyu was not idle in his hands, seeing that it was really difficult for Han Xu to walk with so many things, he hurriedly went to share some more, and said: "This is the first time that your son-in-law is in charge, and he is still on the rise, don't you let him buy enough, can't he reflect his identity as the master of the house?" ”
Guan Jiyu said well, the whole day of procurement failed to satisfy Jiang Yingnian, and on the next day's Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Yingnian shouted early in the morning that it was time to go to the street.
"Childe, yesterday we were shopping on South Street, which street do you want to go to today?"
Han Xu had a normal face, and in the face of Jiang Yingnian, he remembered that it was an uncontrolled consumption, and he had long been accustomed to it.
Jiang Yingnian said without thinking: "West Street, West Street!" Let's just say that there is something missing, I have been back for a few days, and Pinxianglou has not been able to take care of it! ”
Guan Jiyu was puzzled: "Didn't you go?" I remember that two days ago, didn't you say that you were going to Pinxiang Building early in the morning to eat freshly baked jujube paste cookies? Why didn't you go? ”
"Isn't that your fault?" Jiang Yingnian looked very resentful, and said: "I originally wanted to ask you to go with me, what am I going to do if you don't go?" ”
Guan Jiyu was speechless for a while, she still wanted to go back to him, why didn't she call Han Xu to go with her?
But after thinking about it, Han Xu doesn't like these sweet and greasy things on weekdays, not only Han Xu, but the entire Jiang Mansion, including Qingzi Camp, except for her and Jiang Yingnian, there are few people who are obsessed with sweets at all!
It was just the two of them who were reading it.
"Okay, good, the third son taught me a lesson, then we will go to Pinxiang Building on West Street today!"
As soon as Boss Zheng of Pinxiang Building saw Jiang Yingnian coming into the store, he hurriedly greeted him in person: "Jiang Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you need to come here in person, what do you want to eat directly, I will directly ask someone to send you to the house!" ”
Jiang Yingnian smiled and said, "Boss Zheng is too polite, I have nothing to do today, so I want to come to your store to eat something." ”
Boss Zheng was flattering again, standing on the side and accompanying Jiang Yingnian to finish ordering things, and then retreated.
The refreshments were also served quickly, Jiang Yingnian ordered all the new flavors introduced by Boss Zheng that he had not tasted, Guan Jiyu looked at the table full of all kinds of dim sum, frowned and said, "Where can I finish eating this?" ”
Jiang Yingnian didn't care if she could finish eating it or not, she picked up a piece of flower-shaped cake and took a big bite, and said, "Well, it's red bean paste, I don't know what else is in it, it tastes weird and fresh." ”
While eating, he also urged Han Xu not to just drink tea, and eat quickly!
"You taste me!" Jiang Yingnian went on to eat the second piece of dim sum, a big man, eating a piece of dim sum was so cheerful! He said to Guan Jiyu: "Look at its shape, it's a leaf-shaped cake, but you can never guess what kind of stuffing is in it!" ”
Guan Jiyu was willing to eat what he had bitten, looking at his outstretched hand holding the missing snack, frowning and dodging.
"Hey! Taste it! Jiang Yingnian saw her dodging, so she simply broke off a small piece directly and forcibly stuffed it into her mouth.
Fortunately, the piece he broke off was not the place he had just bitten, so Guan Jiyu endured his rude behavior and chewed and swallowed.
Han Xu looked at this scene coldly, took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Childe, you have become so clingy now." ”
"Poof!" Guan Jiyu didn't expect the expressionless Han Xu to say such a thing, and she was so shocked that she couldn't help but squirt out what she had just bitten into her mouth all at once.
The dim sum crumbs in Guan Jiyu's mouth sprayed Jiang Yingnian's body, and he didn't care at all and said, "You eat slowly." As he spoke, he poured water into Guan Jiyu's teacup.
This scene made Han Xu even more unbelievable, he couldn't believe that their son-in-law could stand others squirting something in his mouth, and he could still not care at all as if he hadn't seen it?!
And most importantly, he turned out! Pour water for Guan Jiyu to drink?
The last time the three of them were together, Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu were still arguing, but now they can get along so harmoniously.
Han Xu silently took another sip of tea and asked, "Childe, when you were at the border, did Ji Yu save your life?"
"No, what's wrong?" Jiang Yingnian picked up the cup and took a big sip of water, patted his chest, and said, "You really can't eat more of this thing, and I'm a little tired of eating too much." ”
"Nothing." A hint of clarity flashed on Han Xu's face, and he didn't say anything more.
After wandering outside for another half a day, the three of them walked back.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion, he saw that the housekeeper was holding a letter in his hand, and as soon as he saw Guan Jiyu, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The letter sent from the capital is to the girl." ”
"From the capital?" Jiang Yingnian snatched the letter first, and said a little excitedly: "Who?" It can't be a letter from Brother Helan, right? Or is there something going on with the Six Kings' Mansion looking for us-"
As he spoke, he opened the envelope, and as soon as he glanced at the two lines, his face sank, and there was no longer the pleasure in his eyes, but instead he was cold and indifferent.
Jiang Yingnian didn't continue to read the letter, but just threw it to Guan Jiyu casually and said coldly: "It's a letter for you." ”
Guan Jiyu was confused by his sudden change of expression, so she picked up the letter and read it, and every word on the letter, caught off guard, turned into a torrent in her heart:
Miss Guan, I haven't seen you for a long time since I said goodbye to Beixin last time.
When I heard that the war in the north had been won, I was also happy for you. It coincided with the approaching New Year, and there were also relatives and friends of the girl in Nanqin, so it was inconvenient to invite the girl to come to the capital immediately. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival in Beijing will be very lively.
Xiang Lincheng.
Guan Jiyu closed the letter after reading it, standing in place for a long time and couldn't calm down, she reached out and touched her face, and what she touched was a hot one.
"Come and help." Jiang Yingnian called her in front.
He raised the New Year's goods in his hand, and his face had already hidden the unhappiness just now.
"Even if you want to go to the capital to make an appointment, it's also a Lantern Festival, and there is still some time." Jiang Yingnian smiled helplessly and said, "Don't forget what you promised me, and prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together." ”
