Chapter 240 Comparison
"Sir, what kind of banquet do you think County Lady Yinghua will host next time?"
In the carriage, Qin Jun looked at Mo Zhishan beside him.
To be honest, he had just finished the banquet and he had already started thinking about what to eat next.
Mo Zhishan: "That depends on what ingredients County Master Yinghua has."
Or rather, it depends on what else His Majesty will reward.
Qin Jun nodded: "County Lady Yinghua's cooking skills are really amazing. I am always shocked every time I eat the meal she prepares."
In fact, not only the food in the Chen Mansion, but also the food in Yipinlou and the Food Street are novel and delicious. It makes people look forward to other delicacies related to Yinghua County Master.
Mo Zhishan just smiled and said nothing.
Shen Huazheng is not only an excellent cook, she is also very good at other things.
She is not an ordinary woman. Now even Emperor Jingning has begun to think about making an exception and allowing her to serve as an official in the court.
…
Jiang Jinrong stayed outside for a few days and finally returned home.
After all, no matter what, Xiao Han is still his wife in public, so he has to go home even if he wants to escape.
Jiang Jinrong finally came home, and Xiao Han was overjoyed.
She prepared a table full of dishes and asked Jiang Yirou to find Jiang Can, hoping that the whole family would have a meal together.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Can did not come back with Jiang Yirou as usual.
Although Xiao Han felt it was strange, she did not investigate further.
Her heart and eyes are now filled with Jiang Jinrong, and she can't care about anything else.
"Master must have been busy with work recently and hasn't had a good meal. Come, try this roasted lamb."
Xiao Han smiled and used chopsticks to pick up a piece of mutton for Jiang Jinrong and scooped a bowl of soup for him.
Jiang Ran: "Dad, Mom is so happy to know that you are coming home for dinner today. Many of the dishes here were made by my mom. She has been busy in the kitchen for a long time."
Jiang Jinrong looked at Xiao Han, his eyes changed, and he seemed a little touched.
He also reached out and picked up a piece of food for Xiao Han.
"You seem to have lost some weight, so you should eat more."
This was the first time in this period of time that Jiang Jinrong spoke to Xiao Han in a gentle voice.
Little Han moved her lips, tears flickered in her eyes, and she looked flattered.
Jiang Jinrong felt a little uncomfortable. When he proposed to Xiao Han, he had put his heart into it.
"I won't be so busy in the next few days. I will stay in the mansion with you and won't go anywhere else."
Xiao Han was a little surprised: "Really?"
Jiang Jinrong couldn't help but laugh: "How could this be false?"
Then he looked at Jiang Ran again: "After dinner, go to the study with Dad and show him your homework from the past few days."
Jiang Ran: "Okay, I'll get it after I finish eating. Dad, I've been studying very hard recently and have completed the homework assigned by the teacher. If you don't believe me, ask mom."
Xiao Han hurriedly said, "Xiao Ran has been very serious during this period, and has not missed a single thing that the teacher has taught."
Jiang Jinrong's smile deepened: "Xiao Ran has grown up and become sensible."
Jiang Ran was very proud: "Dad, the teacher also praised me."
"Show that article to Dad later."
"good."
"Okay, eat quickly. The food is getting cold."
Mrs. Han was happy when she saw her husband and son getting along well with each other.
As long as Jiang Jinrong is willing to come back, there is still room for improvement.
As for the women outside...
A gleam of viciousness flashed across the eyes of Xiao Han, the woman who was kept outside by Jiang Jinrong.
They dare to grab everything without considering whether they are lucky enough to enjoy it.
Jiang Yirou buried her head in eating her meal without saying a word.
Today, as usual, she quickly left the house to find Jiang Can and expressed her mother's feelings to him.
Strangely, Jiang Can, who never said no to Jiang Yirou, rejected her for the first time.
Jiang Can's tone was still as gentle as before. He said that he was busy and couldn't go back to have dinner with them.
He also told Jiang Yirou to be careful on her way back.
But for some reason, Jiang Yirou noticed something different, which made her feel uneasy.
Jiang Can's expression when he spoke reminded her of someone - Xie Yanqing
She had met Xie Yanqing when she was very young.
At that time, Xiao Han had just been welcomed into the family by Jiang Jinrong.
From a very young age, Xiao Han told Jiang Yirou to please Jiang Jinrong. Only when Jiang Jinrong liked her would the three of them, mother and son, have a good life.
Every time at this time, Xiao Han would use Jiang Yining as a negative example.
She said that Jiang Yining just didn't act like a girl, and every time she spoke it was like lighting firecrackers, which was why Jiang Jinrong didn't like her.
Jiang Yirou felt a little annoyed by Xiao Han's repeated instructions.
But she had to do it.
If we say that Xiao Han has been comparing herself with her elder sister, Jiang Yining's mother, all her life.
Then Jiang Yirou has been comparing herself with Jiang Yining.
She also hopes to live in the sunshine like Jiang Yining, and to easily possess so many things that others envy, just like her.
Noble birth and status, huge wealth, and the love of so many people.
Those things that Jiang Yining looked down upon are very likely what Xiao Han and her two children are longing for.
When she was born, she stood at a high point that others only dreamed of, looking down at the people below.
Xiao Han told her that as a woman, she should make use of her weak side to attract the love of men.
Jiang Yirou did as she was told.
Sure enough, not only Jiang Jinrong liked her, but even Jiang Can and Jiang Huai also treated her as their beloved sister.
He even treated her better than Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yirou finally understood why Xiao Han would rather bear the infamy and ridicule and risk everything to snatch her elder sister's husband.
Because this feeling is really good.
She also wanted to take away everything from Jiang Yining.
It’s a pity that Jiang Yining is different from her mother. She is protected by Princess Yi’an and the royal family, so it’s not so easy to steal her things.
Because Princess Yi'an did not recognize the existence of their family of three. Although she was also Jiang Jinrong's daughter, she was a joke in the eyes of those truly powerful people.
As a man, Jiang Ran's situation is better.
Jiang Jinrong attaches great importance to his youngest son.
The teacher who taught Jiang Ran was carefully selected by Jiang Jinrong, and even the academy that Jiang Ran is attending now was arranged by him through someone else.
Xiao Han was even more obedient to Jiang Ran and would basically satisfy any of his requests.
Although they had no influence with the royal family and the Marquis Wenxin's Mansion was unwilling to pay attention to them, Jiang Ran still received the unreserved love of Jiang Jinrong and Xiao Han.
There were always some children of minor officials and merchants who came to please him and flatter him everywhere.
But Jiang Yirou is different. She has to fight for what she wants on her own.
This is the case with the love between the brothers Jiang Jinrong and Jiang Can and Jiang Huai, and the same goes for other things.
Although she has received the attention and favor of her father and brother, Jiang Yirou still wants more.
She wants everything Jiang Yining has.
Including Xie Yanqing who has always been following Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yirou tried every way to get close to Xie Yanqing, but unfortunately all failed.
As expected of someone who could play with Jiang Yining, Xie Yanqing’s eyes were on her forehead, so she couldn’t see her at all.
I learned that Xie Yanqing was going to leave the capital and follow General Xie to the northwest.
Jiang Yirou stopped Xie Yanqing on the road he had to pass and decided to make a final attempt.
This time everything went smoothly and she was brought in front of Xie Yanqing.
Jiang Yirou was very excited to be able to see Xie Yanqing up close.
She had prepared a set of excuses in advance and planned to take this opportunity to express her feelings to Xie Yanqing.
Maybe Xie Yanqing is too outstanding, or maybe there is too much attention paid to him.
I don’t know when it started, but Jiang Yirou found that she seemed to have developed different feelings for him without realizing it.
Just when Jiang Yirou was gathering up her courage and was about to say the words she had rehearsed countless times, she was suddenly frightened by Xie Yanqing's terrifying look and took several steps back.
There was no tenderness in Xie Yanqing's eyes as she had imagined, only disgust.
Not only that, he also drew out a long sword that was shining with cold light.
Jiang Yirou was so frightened that she gasped and tears came out.
Xiao Han once told Jiang Yirou that as long as she lowered her eyes pitifully and squeezed out a few tears, she could make a man soften his heart.
Jiang Yirou used this trick to slowly shift the Jiang Can brothers' preference for Jiang Yining to her.
But Xie Yanqing just looked at Jiang Yirou coldly, saying that he was not a fool like Jiang Can and Jiang Huai, and asked her not to use those tricks that were not worthy of being shown on the stage.
He also warned Jiang Yirou fiercely to stay away from Jiang Yining in the future, otherwise she should not blame him for being rude.
It was also at that moment that all of Jiang Yirou's special feelings for Xie Yanqing disappeared.
She still envied Jiang Yining, but she understood that some things could not be obtained no matter how hard you tried.
