Chapter 1103 Dispute
"What happened? Why did the bridge collapse for no reason?"
At this time, it was still under the jurisdiction of Jiuzhou, and Jiang Wan knew that Song Jiuyuan cared about the people of Jiuzhou.
So I didn't rush to ask if I could take a detour, but instead expressed my doubts.
"I took a closer look and found that the bridge had many problems with its workmanship. It's very likely that it was not built firmly in the first place."
Song Jiuyuan's face darkened, "Plus today several people started struggling and scrambled to cross the bridge.
So many carriages were on the bridge at the same time that it collapsed."
Jiang Wan was silent. A few horse-drawn carriages were indeed very heavy in ancient times, so it was normal for problems to arise.
Muxiang and Ruoshui, who had received the news, had also jumped off the carriage.
"Master, can we take a detour?"
Ruoshui was lying on the window of Jiang Wan and the others' carriage. She was a person with no mercy at all.
I just wanted to avoid delaying their journey.
"I just looked at the map. If we want to take a detour, we'll have to walk more than fifty miles."
Song Jiuyuan frowned slightly, then looked at Jiang Wan, "Wan Wan, I'll go take care of these things.
It's lunch time now, you guys should have lunch first."
"Okay."
Jiang Wan gave Muxiang a look, and she and Ruoshui immediately became obedient, not daring to say anything despite their anger.
They moved the carriage to the side. Song Jiuyuan certainly wasn't the type to deal with such a trivial matter as a dispute.
He wanted to investigate the officials who were responsible for building the bridge.
"Master, what are we going to have for lunch?"
Ruoshui licked her face. Ever since she ate her master's food, she missed it terribly every day.
"Didn't you prepare rations?"
Jiang Wan glanced at the fully loaded carriage at the back, which contained food prepared by Mu Xiang and Gan Ze.
"Yes, I have prepared it. Master, I will make whatever you want to eat."
Muxiang has always been well-behaved in front of Jiang Wan, so Jiang Wan couldn't bear to let them fire alone.
She took a pack of hot pot ingredients and said, "Let's make hot pot. It's cold, so blanch some food to keep you warm."
"I'll help."
Ruoshui's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and she helped Muxiang pick and wash vegetables skillfully.
Gan Ze went to pick up some firewood to make a fire, and everyone was busy and happy.
Although it was cold, it was noon and the sun was still shining warmly above.
Jiang Wan simply carried both children out of the car and placed them in the cradles that had been prepared long ago.
The cradle is covered with thick quilts, so the children won’t feel cold and can also bask in the sun.
She didn't help much, occasionally rocking the cradle to soothe the two bored children.
After a while, Muxiang boiled the hot pot base, and Ruoshui washed the vegetables. She almost swallowed her saliva when she smelled the fragrance.
"Master, we can start eating now."
Ruoshui's greedy look was very interesting, but Jiang Wan glanced at Song Jiuyuan not far away.
"Master, I'm going to call Master Dad!"
Gan Ze trotted over, and soon Song Jiuyuan followed him back.
Several people sat around the big pot. Muxiang first put some meatballs and then some fresh meat.
Song Jiuyuan was not in a hurry to eat, but took Jiang Wan's feelings into consideration.
The delicious food they were eating filled the air, and the two parties arguing over there finally stopped.
Only then did Jiang Wan notice that the two parties in the dispute were led by a young girl and a young boy respectively.
The servants behind them seemed to have had a small fight.
"Aren't they hungry?"
Muxiang's mouth was full of oil while Ruoshui was also eating the soaked tofu contentedly, "I don't bother with them.
We just need to eat and drink well, this fruit wine is really delicious."
"Where did you get the wine?"
Jiang Wan frowned slightly. She only asked them to get the ingredients, but she didn't expect Ruoshui to do something else as well.
"Master, when you asked me to get the meatballs just now, I took them as well."
Ruoshui chuckled, "Master, don't worry, I won't drink too much, it won't cause any trouble."
Jiang Wan: ...
"drunk."
Song Jiuyuan curled his lips in annoyance, making Ruoshui furious.
"Song Jiuyuan, don't think that everything will be fine just because you married my master. I still remember the bad things you did back then!"
Song Jiuyuan: ...
Apart from her parents and Wanwan, she was the first one who dared to be so mean to him.
He was so angry that he tightened his grip on the chopsticks. Jiang Wan gently touched his elbow.
“I want to eat vegetables.”
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Song Jiuyuan quickly put away the anger on his face, and the speed at which he changed his expression was simply amazing.
The atmosphere became lively again. Muxiang and Ganze did not drink any wine, but Ruoshui drank a small bottle alone.
The rest was given to Song Si and Song Wu.
Since there weren't many people around and there was no distinction between master and servant, the two of them just buried their heads in eating in silence.
There aren't many opportunities to eat this.
Just when they were enjoying their meal, the teams that had been arguing just now stopped tacitly.
"I'm hungry. I'll talk to you after I'm full!"
The boy, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, waved his hands, and squatted there holding his stomach, waiting for the servant to prepare food.
The girl across from him snorted, "Okay, let's talk it out after we're full."
The girl also brought dry food with her people.
They were cooking next to Jiang Wan and her friends, and their hotpot was much more delicious than Jiang Wan's.
The girl's exquisite snacks and dry food seemed to become extremely boring.
"I don't want to eat dry food. Give me something hot."
The girl irritably ordered her personal maid, and the maid quickly started collecting firewood with the servants to prepare food for her master.
They were all passers-by, so Jiang Wan didn't care much. She didn't have a big appetite and finished her meal quickly.
She smelled like hot pot and wanted to go into the space to wash up when she had time.
After dinner, Ruoshui and Muxiang worked together to wash the pots and pans, while Ganze was responsible for cleaning the fire.
"How long will this take to handle?"
Jiang Wan raised her eyes to look at Song Jiuyuan, who was rocking the cradle with gentle features, without any trace of the domineering look from before.
This guy actually also likes to compete with Ruoshui.
"Soon, as long as we find out, we can hand it over to our subordinates. Don't worry, it won't delay us for too long."
Song Jiuyuan didn't want to stay here any longer, as he still remembered what Jiang Wan was thinking about.
Just when Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard Mu Xiang's sharp voice.
"What are you doing?!!"
"Why are you so fierce? I didn't mean it."
A familiar girl's voice was heard, and Jiang Wan saw that the girl who had been arguing with others was now standing opposite Mu Xiang.
Muxiang and Ruoshui were washing pots and pans by the stream, and the girl Shengduo happened to go over there.
I don’t know why the two sides started arguing.
"You keep an eye on the kids. I'll go over and take a look."
Jiang Wan had a bad feeling, and Mu Xiang was not a person with such a bad temper.
When she trotted over, Sheng Duo and Mu Xiang were already almost able to do it.
"You obviously did it on purpose, that's too much!"
“I don’t know you, so it’s all an accident if I intentionally break your things.
How much is this pot? I can compensate you for it!"
It turned out that Sheng Duo accidentally bumped into the pot in Muxiang's hand while jogging over, and the pot fell to the ground.
There happened to be some stones on the ground, so the pot was smashed right through!
