Chapter 120 Jiang Caiwei Exposed
"Mom!" As soon as the donkey cart stopped, Lu Tiantian rushed over, "I miss you so much, please don't leave, okay?"
As the little girl spoke, her eyes began to turn red. Jiang Tangtang felt so distressed that she immediately picked her up and said, "Can we go to the shop in the city together later?"
"Is the shop ready?" Su came out wearing an apron and looked at Jiang Tangtang with a smile.
"It's done. I bought some groceries and we'll invite Manager Xia and his family over for dinner. You can come with me to the city later. The shop will open tomorrow!"
While Jiang Tangtang was holding Lu Tiantian, Guo Yu had already taken the things out of the car.
After receiving two thousand taels of silver from Jiuxia Shop, Jiang Tangtang now has more money and is more willing to spend money on things.
The things were moved down and piled up like a small mountain.
"Why did you buy so many things? Are those shrimps?" Su was surprised when she saw them. "What are you buying these precious things for?"
In the past, in the capital, shrimps were offered to the palace. Prominent families could buy some, but the price...it was more like eating silver than eating shrimp.
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said, "Mom, it's not expensive. Have you forgotten where we are? We're not far from the sea. Look, these shrimps were just caught not long ago and are still alive!"
Su looked at the shrimp, which was even fresher than the ones she had paid a lot of money for before, and was very happy. "This is really true! I'll go to the Xia family, you take a rest."
"Mom, let me go. I haven't been back for a few days, so I'll go to the wasteland to take a look." Jiang Tangtang wanted to seize the opportunity to water the vegetables in the wasteland with some spiritual spring water.
"Okay, you go and I'll clean the shrimps." Although shrimps are a precious delicacy in the capital, Su, as a former marquis' wife, knows how to eat them.
Jiang Tangtang didn't bother to be polite with her. She took Lu Tiantian's hand and was about to walk towards the wasteland. She saw Lu Jingcheng and Lu Jingheng looking at them. She smiled and waved, "Do you want to go?"
Lu Jingcheng nodded reservedly and followed with small steps.
Seeing that his brothers had followed, Lu Jingheng quickly grabbed his slingshot and chased after them.
On the way, Jiang Tangtang asked the little ones what they did when she was not at home.
Lu Tiantian said in a baby voice, "Uncle teaches us kung fu in the morning. After breakfast, we read with him. After waking up from a nap, we listen to Grandpa Xue tell stories."
Jiang Tangtang raised an eyebrow. These little guys had a pretty full schedule! But didn't Xue Banxian say he was going to pick disciples? He was telling stories to them every day?
"What stories did Grandpa Xue tell you? Were they good?"
"That sounds nice!" Lu Tiantian said happily, "Mom, when I grow up, I want to be a doctor and a hero who heals illnesses and saves lives."
Jiang Tangtang looked at the two brothers, "What about you two? What do you think?"
Lu Jingcheng frowned like a little adult, "When I grow up, I want to be like daddy."
That's rejection.
Lu Jingheng has always been his brother's follower, so needless to say, he obviously has no intention of becoming a doctor.
Jiang Tangtang was not surprised by this result.
As they were talking, they soon arrived at the Xia family. Jiang Tangtang explained their purpose. When Wang Lachun heard that the Lu family was celebrating the opening of their shop, he did not refuse. After congratulating them repeatedly, he packed up a bunch of gifts and went to the Lu family.
After Jiang Tangtang invited the Xia family, she took the children and continued to the wasteland.
The rocky wasteland outside the woods has been cleared, and He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui have also planted the vegetable seeds that were sown earlier.
Some vegetables that are not in season grow slowly, but the cabbage grows particularly well.
Jiang Tangtang was picking cabbages in the field with a few children when Chen came in. She glanced at the children in the field and winked at Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang guessed she had something to tell him, so he asked He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui to take the child home first, and then went to a secluded forest to talk with Chen. "What's the matter?"
Chen looked around like a thief and whispered, "Your cousin is colluding with someone outside."
"Who is it?" Jiang Tangtang frowned.
"I don't know about that." Chen shook her head. "Two nights ago, I woke up and saw her sneaking under a tree and tying a message barrel to a pigeon. The pigeon later flew away, and I don't know who she was communicating with."
Jiang Tangtang asked for a while and found that she didn't know anything else, so she gave her two taels of silver and told her to continue to secretly keep an eye on Jiang Caiwei and tell her if she had anything.
On the way back, Jiang Tangtang was a little absent-minded, and kept wondering who Jiang Caiwei was contacting.
She asked Ge Shuanniang to monitor them not only because she hated her, but also because she wanted to report their whereabouts to others?
She was lost in thought and didn't notice that the road had been softened by the rain a few days ago. She accidentally stepped on a piece of unstable road surface and was about to fall down the slope. Jiang Tangtang subconsciously closed her eyes and sighed inwardly that she was unlucky.
But the imagined pain did not come, instead I was embraced by a strong chest.
Smelling a familiar scent, she opened her eyes dazedly.
Lu Shiyan's overly handsome face was right above her.
Jiang Tangtang swallowed: "Why are you back?"
The way they were positioned, Lu Shiyan could clearly see her swallowing movements, and seeing her rosy lips, he suddenly felt a little hot.
He let go of her uncomfortably and said, "The camp has issued a mission to send me to lead troops to suppress pirates, so I came back first."
Jiang Tangtang was instantly distracted by the fact that he was actually sent to suppress pirates, and didn't notice his discomfort.
She asked in confusion, "Why would they send you to lead the troops?"
Lu Shiyan saw her worry and said calmly, "This has been in my plan for a long time, don't worry. It's just that I can't be with you during the New Year. I'm afraid you might have too many thoughts, so I came back early."
Hearing that this was already part of his plan, Jiang Tangtang didn't bother to think about it anymore and instead asked, "How long will you be staying this time?"
Lu Shiyan said, "I won't be able to stay long. I'll be leaving soon."
Hearing that he was leaving soon, Jiang Tangtang said, "The shop is ready. I plan to open it tomorrow. I've invited Manager Xia and his family to come and liven things up. How about you eat before you leave?"
Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, his Adam's apple sliding slightly, "Okay!"
Jiang Tangtang nodded: "Then let's go home first!"
The two of them went home together. Jiang Tangtang thought about what Chen said again and hesitated whether to tell Lu Shiyan. Then she heard Lu Shiyan say, "What were you thinking about just now? Is there something on your mind? If there is anything, you can tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."
Jiang Tangtang originally thought that since he has so many things to do, why not leave him alone with Jiang Caiwei's affairs!
But since he asked like that, he didn't hesitate any longer. So he told Lu Shiyan what Chen had said to her today.
"Who do you think she's in contact with?"
It was strange that Jiang Caiwei was seriously injured at the time and was pushed off the cliff by her, but she was still alive and arrived in Yazhou before them. Later, she bribed Ge Shuanniang with money to secretly keep an eye on them, and now she is using carrier pigeons to secretly transmit messages to the outside world. It is really weird everywhere.
Lu Shiyan's eyes were slightly deep, but he didn't say anything. He was secretly thinking in his heart about who might be in contact with Jiang Caiwei.
After waiting for a while and not hearing his answer, Jiang Tangtang asked again: "What should we do now?"
In the past, Jiang Caiwei asked Ge Shuanniang to stare at them. Although she felt disgusted, she didn't feel as disgusted as she does now.
"Pretend you don't know about this for now, and let Second Aunt be more careful." Lu Shiyan said and then comforted her: "Don't be afraid, leave this matter to me, you just continue to do what you like."
After they returned home, Lu Shiyan went out first. Jiang Tangtang guessed that he was going to arrange to catch the person behind Jiang Caiwei.
She is not good at this, so she doesn't ask too many questions and focuses on what she is good at.
The shrimp Su has been cleaned.
Jiang Tangtang thought that shrimp were delicious no matter how they were cooked. However, she was craving spicy shrimp the most, so she cut up some more vegetables, stir-fried some spices, and started making the spicy shrimp.
She had already found an opportunity to take out the chili peppers, so there was no need to hide them now, so she just put them in the pot openly.
The Lu family has now become accustomed to the fact that she can always get all kinds of strange things, and no one finds it strange.
However, considering that everyone can’t handle spicy food, Jiang Tangtang didn’t use too much chili pepper.
In addition to buying a lot of shrimp today, she also bought a lot of dried fish. After the spicy shrimp were fried, Jiang Tangtang began to boil the spices to make spicy dried fish.
Fish and shrimp are naturally delicious, not to mention Jiang Tangtang used extravagant ingredients. The aroma drifted through the window to the whole village, making every household sniff hard, eager to come to the Lu family for a big meal.
Some people even sighed in their hearts, no wonder the steward of General Song's family offered such a high price just to invite Jiang to be a cook in their home.
It's okay to spend a little money to eat such delicious food every day. It's not like General Song's family is short of money.
