Chapter 151: Goals
The dinner was naturally hosted by Shen Tong, the host, to wash the dust for Mu Jingzhao, and the dishes were naturally sumptuous, and all kinds of delicacies were placed on a full table.
It stands to reason that this is the duty of a courtier, but now, Mu Jingzhao and his entourage have seen the bleak scene of the homeless people not having enough to eat on the road, and this table full of delicacies actually seems quite ironic.
Rao is a table full of food, no matter how rich it is, it also makes people lose their taste.
At the dinner, Shen Tong worked hard to show his sleek posture in officialdom, talking and laughing heartily with a wine cup, and the whole table was filled with his exaggerated laughter.
And Mu Jingzhao, the object of his catering, I don't know if he is not interested because of what he sees in the daytime, even in the face of this table full of delicacies, he doesn't move his chopsticks much.
It's just that he was occasionally called by Shen Tong, so he hooked his lips slightly, picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the rest of the time was silent.
The embarrassing atmosphere at the table didn't seem to affect Liu Jinfu on the side at all, she was still dressed in red, sitting indifferently, burying her head in the food in front of her.
Her whole person is amazing, and the people around her are not at all like people in the same world, coupled with her extraordinary bearing and indifferent expression, Rao is Shen Tong, who has always been sleek and shrewd, is a little discouraged, and only occasionally talks to her tentatively, and after seeing that she has repeatedly failed to react, she has to give up.
Jiang Ning has never liked such a scene, for fear that he would be caught by Lord Shen to greet him, so he could only stuff things into his mouth one by one to prove that his mouth was not empty.
Shen Tong turned his head to her a few times, and was frightened by her mouthful of food, and originally thought that he should say a few words out of politeness, but when he thought of it, Jiang Ning had never been a person who could get on the table.
If she had accidentally squirted the food in her mouth as she spoke, the elaborate dinner would have been ruined, and she would have to give up at the thought of it.
In the whole banquet, the worst thing was Shen Qingrong, who was also physically and mentally exhausted because of the rush for several days, and it was not easy to get a vacancy, so she wanted to take a good rest and have a safe dinner.
Unexpectedly, a table of people who have their own hearts and have never liked to give face, actually made Shen Tong, who was originally like a fish in water in interpersonal relationships, touch several soft nails one after another.
Shen Tong, who was bored but had to make the gesture of the master, had no choice but to remember that he could only pull his daughter to sing and maintain the appearance of decency.
At the end of a banquet, the father and daughter's faces were about to stiffen, but they couldn't soothe the atmosphere at the dinner for half a minute.
At the end of the dinner, Shen Tong pulled Shen Qingrong to talk about homely things, Liu Jinfu was still sitting in his position without any intention of leaving, Mu Jingzhao glanced at Jiang Ning on his side, Jiang Ning at this moment, because of the uncontrolled diet at the dinner, the whole person was paralyzed.
Fortunately, she was dressed loosely, otherwise, it is estimated that others would think that she was not pregnant with a dragon fetus for several months.
"Go for a walk with me." Mu Jingzhao gently bumped Jiang Ning with his elbow.
"I'm not going." Almost without thinking about it, she opened her mouth to refuse, there were no outsiders at this table for a long time, so Jiang Ning's actions became more and more unscrupulous, she lazily touched her round belly, and her eyes narrowed.
Mu Jingzhao, who was already depressed in his heart, was rejected by her mercilessly, and he was also a little irritable in his heart, if he changed to the past, it was estimated that he would go with her.
"Just go for a walk in the garden and eat and drink."
When she heard that this was the case, she didn't want to go, "If you don't go, my stomach is so supportive, it's so uncomfortable." ”
"It's much better to go out for a walk."
Jiang Ning rarely saw Mu Jingzhao's words so stubborn, her half-closed eyes finally widened a little, and at the moment when she raised her eyes, her eyes unconsciously saw Liu Jinfu on the side.
At this moment, she didn't continue to eat, but just sat upright with such an indifferent expression, as if she didn't realize what was going on here.
Could it be that the concubine didn't leave because she ate too much? Jiang Ning thought casually.
She carefully recalled the picture of eating not long ago, but she didn't notice that Liu Jinfu had eaten a lot.
Is it because she has something else?
Her gaze slowly moved to Mu Jingzhao's extraordinarily firm gaze, as if she had found some answers from the abnormality of these two people.
So she nodded slowly, "Okay." ”
Hearing her say this, Mu Jingzhao was also slightly stunned for a moment, but then. His face was replaced by even greater joy, and he immediately got up and walked out with Jiang Ning one after the other.
On a summer night, the air echoed with the sound of insects surging from all directions, the night breeze was light, and the air was filled with a slight aroma of grass and trees.
At this moment, the aroma of plants and trees in the air poured into her nostrils unscrupulously, and even blew away her boredom.
She walked side by side with Mu Jingzhao, walking on the path unhurriedly, without taking anyone with her.
Although this courtyard is not small compared to a normal house, it can be seen at a glance, and it is naturally not as good as the imperial garden in the inner courtyard of the palace.
Mu Jingzhao walked out a few steps before slowly standing still, and Jiang Ning also stopped with his movements.
"I want to know what you think about this rebellion."
Jiang Ning was slightly stunned, what Mu Jingzhao said was completely beyond her expectations, she was just a gangster on the street, an outsider to the royal nobles, even if she wanted to discuss this matter with others, she really couldn't take her turn.
But then, she also understood that this is her hometown after all, and in terms of familiarity, I am afraid that no one in her peers can compare to herself.
"It's a little strange, according to Commander Lin, those who committed the crime don't seem to deliberately want to create chaos in the whole city, but rather like they are taking revenge."
Mu Jingzhao bowed slightly, expressing his agreement with her statement.
With such a targeted action, it seems that only the act of revenge can be justified.
If you are just greedy for money, you probably don't need to make such a big move and put everyone in danger.
This style of behavior seems to have deliberately created an atmosphere of terror that would plunge all his enemies into fear.
And his enemies are the rich.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, it was already dark, and Mu Jingzhao couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but he could vaguely feel that the contours of her face had changed.
"Our goal is too big."
Jiang Ning's voice was very low, but he paused for words, and his words were quite heavy.
Mu Jingzhao was slightly stunned, and instantly understood the seriousness of the matter.
If the purpose of those people is to all the rich, then their goal at this time is not too great, so that they have already revealed their wealth at the edge of the city, and entered the city and lived in such a luxurious house.
Such an act is tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger.
