Chapter 269: The Messy In-laws
Lost the war?
Then Fengze...
Jiang Fenghu's eyes widened, and he stood up from the ground.
"Two ladies, what exactly is the camp you just said the Imperial Master brought over? Please explain it clearly!" He asked the door in a hurry.
The two women were old, and they couldn't remember the details. They just thought about it and waved their hands.
"It seems to be something, but it's just three words."
"Well, if we lose, we lose. Who cares about that? I'm just afraid that Changbai City can't be defended, and the Northern Frontier will come to attack us!"
Seeing the two of them sighing, Jiang Fenghu's face turned pale, and he fell back on the stool with a bang.
His legs went weak, "Mom... so it should be the Liaodong Camp."
After all, the imperial master's personal army is called the Black Armor Army, and Changbai City is full of border troops, and there are no famous barracks.
Only the Liaodong Camp led by their family Fengze has about a few hundred people. I'm afraid it will be bad if it is really sent to fight in the front...
Feng froze, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Jiang Fengnian's eyes also reddened, and he said hoarsely, "The Northern Pirates hate us to the core. Once our soldiers are captured, they will most likely never come back."
Xiao Fengmiao grinned, spitting out a large mouthful of elbow meat, and was about to cry.
"Oh, Third Brother, I want Third Brother!"
Fortunately, Feng was still stable. After calming down, she clapped her hands and stuffed the meat and crying back into his mouth.
"Nothing has happened yet. It might just be a rumor. It's not time to cry!" Feng was very calm and believed that as long as the concubine was there, Fengze would not suffer a great disaster.
Li Qiqiao was not panicked. After thinking about it, she said, "Fengze was kidnapped in the street before, but he was able to jump back alive and well. Isn't this a blessing from heaven? Don't believe everything you hear." "Besides, there is Nuobao.
With this little lucky star in our family, we will not suffer any great disaster. At least that's what I think." Li Qiqiao said seriously.
When Jiang Fengnian thought of his family and Nuobao, the pillar of stability, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Fenghu was no longer so nervous, and his expression finally eased.
Although men are taller, when faced with life-and-death matters, sometimes, no woman can resist.
Feng patted everyone on the shoulder and deliberately said, "Okay, it's time to eat and drink. Mother gave you two hundred coins as a gift. If you don't eat, our family will suffer a big loss."
It really works to mention money. When
Xiao Fengmiao heard that it was two hundred coins,
he wiped his tears and grabbed the chopsticks, ready to fight Zhu Elbow for three hundred rounds!
Sun Chunxue's belly was almost full-term, and she was not satisfied with anything, so she also ate the plate of bacon in front of her.
In the courtyard, most of the people were from Xishan Village. When they heard that the war was lost, they just sighed and didn't pay much attention to the Jiang family.
But Li Qiqiao's stepmother Cai, who had been leaning against the door frame to pick her teeth, had been secretly staring at the Jiang family's table.
Seeing their changing expressions, Cai guessed that the ones who fell into the trap of the foreign enemy were most likely Fengze's Liaodong Camp.
Her face changed immediately, and she hurriedly pulled Li Lao over, panting anxiously.
Originally, the Li family didn't have much contact with the Jiang family. The reason why they went to invite them this time was not only to show off that they had a good relative, but also to collect more gifts from the Jiang family.
After all, Xianquanju was well-known, so Cai thought that the Jiang family would give at least three or five taels of silver. She waited happily for a long time, but she only got two hundred coins.
Cai twisted her waist and pinched Li Lao.
"Look at the good daughter you gave birth to. If she doesn't help her parents, she will be fine. Now I'm afraid that even her brother-in-law, who is the commander, will be in trouble. All our plans will be ruined!"
It turned out that a few days ago, Cai heard that Liaodongying was recruiting partners. She thought it was a good job, so she wanted to send her son to take over the job, so she wanted to interact more with the Jiang family.
Even if the gift money was not enough, she still gave an extra big elbow for her son.
Now, once Jiang Fengze died, this plan would naturally fail. Cai didn't get any advantage at all, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the pork elbow she served to the Jiang family.
Old Man Li saw what Cai was thinking, sighed, and was about to remind her not to make trouble.
After all, his family didn't suffer any loss, and the worst that could happen was to find another way out for his son.
Who knew that Cai couldn't get angry, so she simply pushed his arm away, walked to the Jiang family's table, and took away the plate of greasy pork elbow.
The Jiang family members stopped eating with their chopsticks and looked at her in confusion.
The host came over to clear the dishes halfway through the meal. What did this mean?
Sun Chunxue was really too much. She thought Cai was worried that the elbow meat was cold and wanted to put it back in the pot.
So she simply picked up another plate and said with a smile, "Auntie, if you want to heat up the food for us, then this pork with chili peppers has been cleaned up, so please heat it up as well."
Cai was worried about the pork elbow and wanted to take it and leave.
But Sun Chunxue still "made trouble", and she couldn't help but frown and snorted unhappily, "What food should I heat up for you? Otherwise, the whole table will have to be redone! Your family only gave a gift money, and seven people came to eat. Even if I really take this pork elbow to heat it up, you are still embarrassed not to eat it!"
This sudden attack made Sun Chunxue stunned.
Feng's face darkened and she frowned at Cai.
"My dear, what are you talking about? Didn't your family invite us to your home and look forward to our family's support? Why did you smile so hard when you came in, and now you complain that there are too many people? You were born in the year of the monkey, right? You
can get angry at any time?" Li Qiqiao had long disliked her stepmother, and she was not used to her faults.
She stood up and said, "What's wrong with seven people coming? Others give a gift of ten or twenty coins at most, and there can be three or four people coming from one family. My family gave you a full two hundred coins, which is acceptable no matter where you put it. How can you be so rude to pick on gifts!"
This is true.
In Xishan Village, when a child's full-month celebration comes, most people in the same village give five or ten coins.
Those who can give twenty coins are considered a big favor.
Feng took out two hundred coins only for Li Qiqiao's sake, but she never thought that Cai would have the nerve to complain that it was too little.
At this time, the villagers in the yard couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that Cai was really unreasonable.
The head of Xishan Village was even more unhappy. He stood up and shouted, "Cai, what's wrong with you? We are all here to celebrate your grandson. Don't ruin your own place!"
Cai originally wanted to take a dish and leave, but who would have thought that she would lose face instead.
Her face turned red. She was so angry that she simply took her anger out on the Jiang family.
"If it was just for a little gift money, why would it be like this? My family is not that kind of stingy." Cai pouted her thick lips. "
It's true. The Jiang family doesn't deserve to eat such delicious food!"
Cai raised her voice in grievance, "Do you know that the one who lost the battle in Changbai City was the third son of the Jiang family! Once Changbai City is lost, then our Yuncheng will be in trouble. The third son of their family is going to hurt us badly. Why can't I say anything about his family!"
