Chapter 71: I stole your favor and your capable general again
"Your master is fine for now."
Jiang Wan looked at Pan Hongyan who had an anxious look on his face, and Pan Hongyan happily clasped his fists to Jiang Wan.
"I was short-sighted before. Thank you, Madam Song!"
"You are welcome!"
Jiang Wan nodded slightly, and when Pan Hongyan lifted the curtain to communicate with the people inside, she quietly left, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.
"Are you okay?"
Song Jiuyuan saw her coming back, first glanced her up and down worriedly, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"They are not wolves, tigers or leopards. Why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Wan was a little amused and helpless. She didn't expect that Song Jiuyuan would worry about her one day. It was really like the sun rising in the west.
Song Jiuyuan didn't expect that she could still laugh, so he pulled her to his side and whispered in her ear:
"That person should be the old master."
His magnetic voice gently penetrated into my ears, and the heat from his voice passed through like an electric current.
Jiang Wan felt a current running through her body, and her body went numb. She subconsciously said:
"What is a Taifu?"
She regretted it right after she asked, and quickly made amends: "I mean, how do you know he is the old master?"
Although this was a bit of a late fix, fortunately Song Jiuyuan did not hold on to it. Instead, he glanced at the carriage not far away and explained to Jiang Wan in a low voice:
"There are special marks on the old master's carriage. I have seen them several times."
The old tutor used to be the emperor's teacher, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he gradually became estranged from him.
Not long after, the Grand Tutor retired on the pretext of being too old. Now, very few ministers in Dafeng have ever seen the old Grand Tutor.
"So it was him."
Jiang Wan sighed, recalling the plot of the original book. It seemed that the old tutor would be the Sixth Prince's aide in the future.
But now…
Jiang Wan curled her lips slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Sixth Prince. Your kindness and capable general have been taken away by me again."
It's really an unexpected result!
"Brother and sister-in-law, what are you two whispering about?"
Song Jiuli blinked at them curiously, and even Song Jiuchi and Madam Song looked at them.
"nothing."
Song Jiuyuan turned his face away uncomfortably, feeling as if there was something fishy going on.
Fortunately, Ren Bang came over at this time and handed a package to Jiang Wan, "This is a thank-you gift from the gentleman just now."
"Thanks."
Jiang Wan was not polite either. This was a thank you gift for saving the man, so it was only natural for her to accept it.
But she never expected that when she opened the package, her titanium eyes would almost be blinded by the light.
Wow, this old tutor is really generous, giving her a package of gold!
Jiang Wan closed the package almost subconsciously. Fortunately, she was quick and only her family members and Ren Bang who were nearby saw it.
Jiang Wan took out a gold ingot and gave it to Ren Bang, her tone full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Brother Ren, for the introduction."
“You’re welcome!”
Ren Bang left with the gold. Jiang Wan quickly stuffed the package into the backpack. Madam Chen smiled and changed the subject.
"Ms. Song, you are really amazing. You are a role model for us girls to learn from."
"It's just OK."
Although Jiang Wan was being modest, the corners of her mouth that were curled up wildly made everyone laugh and cry.
While they were chatting, a gorgeous carriage was parked not far away.
Soon Ren Bang asked everyone to continue on their way. To Jiang Wan's surprise, the carriage seemed to be going the same way as them.
Perhaps because the old man was not feeling well, they were not walking fast and were some distance away from Jiang Wan and his group of pedestrians.
"Are they following us like Mr. Lin did?"
Song Jiuli is a foul-mouthed person who always speaks without restraint. Madam Song couldn't help but give her a cold look.
"Say less."
"I just said it casually."
Song Jiuli pursed her lips but didn't dare say anything more, for fear that Jiang Wan would be angry. In fact, Jiang Wan was not angry.
“Whether it was Master Lin or that old gentleman, I have done my duty and treated their illnesses diligently.
As for the rest, it is their own business and has nothing to do with us. Maybe they are just on the same path?"
"Your sister-in-law is right, Li'er, our identities are different now, and we can't say whatever we want like before.
Be careful or someone will punish you, do you understand?"
Madam Song advised earnestly that if they were exiles, even if they were not wearing criminal shackles, when they were in the wilderness, perhaps even ordinary people would look down on them.
Not to mention those young masters from aristocratic families or people in official circles.
"I see."
Song Jiuli responded hesitantly, and didn't say anything more. He just walked silently.
Fortunately, she had a cheerful personality and her emotions came and went quickly. After a while, she was chasing Jiang Wan again.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you pick it."
"Okay, like dandelions, they can actually be a herb, and these are all useful, let's pick more."
Jiang Wan's eyes curved with a smile, unaware that her lively figure had been seen by the people in the two carriages behind her along the way.
But even if she knew, Jiang Wan wouldn't care about it.
During the lunch break, Jiang Wan taught Song Jiuli how to make soup with chanterelles.
During the meal, Jiang Wan also caught a pheasant and added some wolfberries. It smelled delicious and aroused everyone's appetite.
The Chen family members next to them were also eating chanterelles today, which were just picked by Chen Wenhao. Mrs. Chen was full of gratitude to Jiang Wan.
Because she understood that she released Wen Haocai to help them, otherwise they would not have this opportunity.
"Madam, please drink some soup."
Chen Ce carefully filled a bowl of soup and whispered to Chen Niangzi, "When the official trusts me a little more, I will go and hunt some wild game for you."
In fact, Chen Ce knows how to hunt, otherwise he would not be able to protect his mother and daughter when they were in danger.
But not everyone can receive the favor of the officials, so he cannot come and go freely.
"good."
Madam Chen nodded with emotion and patted Chen Wenhao's head, "Wenhao, you must remember Aunt Wan's kindness."
"Don't worry, mom. I'll remember it."
Chen Wenhao nodded like a little adult, making the couple laugh and cry.
Jiang Wan and the others’ soup needs to be cooked more slowly. After all, it contains chicken, and it tastes better only when it is stewed until it is soft.
As a result, just as Song Jiuli opened the pot, Pan Hongyan walked straight towards her with his long legs.
"Can you sell us this pot of soup?"
Ever since Jiang Wan saved the old gentleman, his attitude towards Jiang Wan has changed a lot.
Looking at this pot of milky white broth with wolfberries floating in it, it looks very healthy and suitable for adults.
Everyone: ...
“But this is our lunch.”
Song Jiuli muttered something, but didn't dare to make a decision. Instead, she looked at Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan first filled a bowl of soup for Song Jiuyuan and added some chicken, then said to Pan Hongyan:
"You can't finish such a big pot by yourself, how about we sell you half?"
"That's okay too!"
Pan Hongyan walked back and got their pot, holding a box in his hand.
"This is food for adults. Let's eat it in exchange."
The adults said that they had taken their food and it would be inconvenient for them to travel hungry.
