Jiang Segu glanced sideways at Gu Songhan.
Gu Songhan felt extremely uncomfortable and quickly explained, "I ordered this because my godfather told me that Dalang likes it! I didn't expect Yunniang to like it too. It seems that you two are truly destined for each other! Dalang, please give Yunniang a slice to try!"
That'll shut her up!
This Yunniang was rather unruly in the manor. He could let it go for the sake of his godfather, but she still wanted to stir up trouble after leaving the manor. If she angered the young lady, he wouldn't be so ruthless as to take drastic measures!
Gu Songhan's gaze toward Yunniang carried a sharp and cold warning.
Yunniang pretended not to see anything and laughed confidently, "Yunniang knows that Uncle Gu is worried that Yunniang will go hungry. Yunniang knows how good Uncle Gu is to Yunniang!"
As she spoke, she first picked up a piece of braised meat and gave it to Old Master Rong. "Although Yunniang is from a small place, she knows that elders should eat first! Grandfather, please have pity on your granddaughter-in-law and have a bite first!"
Her coquettish and silly words made Old Man Rong laugh heartily.
After Uncle Rong finished eating the braised pork, Yunniang picked up a piece of crystal pork skin jelly for Gu Songhan. "Uncle Gu, try this. Don't underestimate this humble cold dish. To make it so clear, smooth, and not mushy, you need a good hand!"
Jiang Segu glanced at Gu Songhan, then picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of crystal pork skin jelly.
Finally, he smiled brightly and said, "No wonder Young Master Rong likes it; the taste is indeed quite good."
Rong Dian immediately perked up and almost blurted out "Auntie," but thankfully he stopped himself in time. "You like it too, Miss Jiang? Actually, I'm the best at making this dish! If you'd like, Miss Jiang, why don't you come over sometime and I'll make it for you!"
"Young Master Rong can actually cook?"
Rong Dian's face beamed with pride. "That's right! My skills are inherited from my maternal grandmother, who used to be the cook in the biggest restaurant in the county."
"Young Master Rong's culinary skills must be superb. I will definitely pay a visit to him another day!"
Gu Songhan's expression had become much colder and more somber.
Looking at the crystal pork skin jelly on the plate, I felt increasingly annoyed.
Seeing this, Yunniang's eyes flickered, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them, and she said softly, "Actually, my cooking skills are not bad either. Uncle Gu likes to eat my crab shell pastry and my steamed buns. If Miss Jiang comes, I will make some for her to try!"
Jiang Segu smiled and said okay.
Gu Songhan felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in his side and a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Yunniang's smile grew even brighter, and every now and then, under the pretext of serving food to Old Man Rong, she would also serve food to Gu Songhan!
After several attempts, Qiaohe finally figured out the trick!
When Yunniang stood up again and moved closer to Gu Songhan, Qiaohe stepped forward to stop her.
“Young lady, I see you’ve been so busy serving food to Master Rong and Young Master Gu that you haven’t eaten much yourself. I feel really bad standing here like this.”
Tianxiangju is considered one of the top restaurants in the capital. Since you've come all this way, why not sit down and have a good meal?
As he spoke, he pushed Yunniang's shoulder, trying to press her back into her seat.
Yunniang said no, "Serving elders their meals is what I should do!"
"Serving the masters their meals is my duty as a maid! Now, with you acting like this, it makes me look like I'm being lazy and cunning! When we get back, my mistress will definitely not let me off the hook!"
Besides, every time the young lady serves food to Young Master Gu, she has to get up and walk over. The space here is small, and with your round figure, you inevitably end up rubbing against him. Even though you're family, there's still a difference between men and women!
How dare they try to steal our daughter's husband? They don't even know if they're qualified!
Yunniang never expected that the inconspicuous little maid who had been standing to the side would embarrass her so easily with just one sentence!
She said awkwardly, "You must be mistaken! The gap is so big, how could I possibly touch Uncle Gu!"
"Is that so, Young Master Gu? What do you think?"
Gu Songhan quickly replied, "Yunniang, sit down and eat. You are your godfather's granddaughter-in-law, not a maid. You don't need to serve meals!"
There is no distinction between men and women in the military camp, and when they spar, it is common for one to dominate the other.
So Old Man Rong didn't think anything was wrong, but after hearing what Gu Songhan said, he chimed in, "That's right, we're all family, there's no need to make such a fuss about meals!"
Yunniang reluctantly sat back down in her seat.
She had just sat down when Gu Songhan was scooping up some yellow vegetables.
After scooping it out, he placed it in front of Jiang Segu. "Try this. This is something you can't find in the capital! After I ordered, I went to the kitchen with the waiter and asked the chef to make it for you. It's a specialty from our hometown."
Jiang Segu originally wanted to find an excuse to refuse to eat, but when she heard Gu Songhan say that he had specially asked the chef to make it for her, she reluctantly picked up the bowl and took a bite.
But just that one bite made her unable to put down the spoon.
The smooth texture of the eggs and the fresh aroma of the shrimp and ham were all tempting to her taste buds.
Seeing that she enjoyed the food, Gu Songhan added, "I can make this myself. I'll cook it for you next time, and you can see whether the chef at Tianxiangju is better or my cooking is better!"
Jiang Segu felt completely relieved by his words, and his eyes curved into crescent moons. "Okay!"
When Gu Songhan saw that she finally smiled at him, he smiled back like a fool.
Old Master Rong knew what Gu Songhan was thinking, and he was also delighted to see this.
Rong Dian didn't know what his grandfather was laughing at, but he knew he couldn't go wrong by laughing along, so he grinned as well.
Yunniang, who had been smiling, suddenly stopped smiling and stared at Jiang Segu with eyes like piercing needles.
Qiaohe rolled her eyes at her, then looked at Gu Songhan, thinking that this son-in-law was quite reasonable...
