Chapter 26: Really Good at Eating
Jiang Xinyu has one advantage: no matter how sad she is, it will not stop her from eating, and she can even turn her sadness and anger into appetite.
Plus, thinking that this might be my last meal, I ate a bit too much without realizing it.
By the time she reacted, the first table of dishes had already been served. Seeing the maid staring in amazement, she simply gave up and ordered another table with a wave of her hand.
Too many lice don't itch, too much debt doesn't worry, that's how it is anyway.
If I eat enough and my supernatural powers recover successfully, I might still be able to fight. Even if not, I'll just die of hunger.
When Xiao Yuan walked in, the third table of dishes had just been served. Jiang Xinyu was gnawing on an eight-treasure pork elbow.
Seeing Xiao Yuan, he was stunned for a moment, but then bit his elbow hard.
"My husband has returned from court. If you haven't eaten yet, you can have something to eat."
Jiang Xinyu originally thought that someone like Xiao Yuan would most likely dislike her and scold her for being rude, or turn around and walk away in disgust at the way she ate.
Unexpectedly, the other party just frowned and took the spare bowl and chopsticks to start eating, which made her feel like she had punched cotton.
It shouldn't be like that.
Aren't people like the Dongchang Supervisor and the Great Eunuch all obsessive-compulsive?
It's normal for him to be frivolous, pretentious, bad-tempered, and abnormal. How come this is different from what I imagined?
Seeing the Taotie sitting opposite him in a daze, Xiao Yuan laughed in his heart. It would be nice to marry such a thing to keep the house in good condition. It would be quite interesting.
I just have to tell the kitchen later.
From now on, she will only be provided with one meal, and if she wants to eat extra food, she can buy it with her dowry money.
Didn't she always say that she didn't feel at a disadvantage because she had too much dowry? If she ate like this, she would still feel quite at a disadvantage.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't figure out Xiao Yuan's pulse and didn't dare to provoke him. She ate in silence while her eyes rolled around, thinking about the topic.
Xiao Yuan ate the dishes in front of him elegantly. It was not until he had finished two bowls of rice and asked for tea to rinse his mouth that Jiang Xinyu spoke.
"Husband, are you full? Would you like some more?"
Seeing Xiao Yuan shaking his head, Jiang Xinyu was immediately delighted, "Then I won't be polite. I didn't dare to take the food from your side because I was afraid you wouldn't be full."
After Jiang Xinyu finished speaking, the chopsticks were dancing away, and the dishes on the table were visibly decreasing rapidly, which made Xiao Yuan marvel at it.
It is true that seeing is believing.
I just don't know how her not-so-bulky belly can hold so many things.
The meals at the Governor's Mansion are mostly exquisite and not very large in quantity, but there are many varieties.
The three tables of banquets put together would fill up a large wooden basin. Not to mention a girl, even a strong man who specializes in external martial arts in the bandits would probably need two meals to finish it.
There are more and more mysteries surrounding this woman. It seems that he will have something to play with in the future.
Jiang Xinyu didn't care whether Xiao Yuan was watching a monkey show or a food show, what he ate was real.
Jiang Xinyu finally asked people to clear the table only after all the dishes were eaten up, including the soup which was soaked up by two bowls of rice. Unfortunately, her supernatural power did not recover so quickly. She clenched her hand which still had not much strength, and felt frustrated.
Thinking of what the woman said last night, saying with all her might that he was a hundred times better than Zhao Chengye, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt ill-humored. Seeing that she finally put down her chopsticks, he sneered.
"You eat so much, did you die of hunger in your previous life and be reincarnated as a ghost?
With the amount of food you eat, you wouldn't be marrying me because you're afraid that the Ningguo Mansion can't afford to support you, right?
After all, his family is notoriously poor in the aristocratic circles.”
"How is that possible? If his family can't support me, I still have dowry.
With my body, I would definitely live to death if no one deliberately harmed me."
"Oh, in that case, let's go."
"Where to go"
Jiang Xinyu suddenly had a bad feeling, "Could it be that the emperor's judgment has come down? That meal just now was my beheading meal.
Damn, you really sold me out, eunuch
Are you still not human?
I really wanted to spend my life with you. I used all my wisdom to marry you, but you reported me.
Just wait for me, I won’t…”
Jiang Xinyu was shouting when Xiao Yuan suddenly grabbed her ear and then pinched her waist hard, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Tsk, you eat so much but you haven't gained any weight, when did that bastard report you?
Beheading rice, have you ever seen such a luxurious beheading rice?
How dare you scold me? You spent more than ten taels of silver on one meal of mine, which is enough to support an entire family of farmers for a year.
Since your ears are useless, I will squeeze them off for you. You are a person who only listens to others."
Jiang Xinyu immediately realized that she had misunderstood and quickly spoke nice words to beg for forgiveness.
Maybe it was because of the words "I want to spend my whole life with you" that pleased Xiao Yuan, Jiang Xinyu's ear was finally saved, but it was a little bigger than the other one, obviously swollen from being pinched.
However, knowing that Xiao Yuan would really take action, she did not dare to scold him anymore. She just kept complaining in her heart that she was unlucky to marry a domestic violence man.
Xiao Yuan glanced at her and snorted, "You are so stupid and think too much. Don't worry, no one wants your life.
The emperor has smoothed things over, and the twists and turns are all fate, and no one will hold on to the marriage exchange anymore."
Jiang Xinyu widened her eyes in disbelief, "Really?
Ah...husband, you are so great, I really love you."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and rushed towards Xiao Yuan, wanting to kiss him, but a big hand pressed against her forehead, making it impossible for her to move.
Xiao Yuan snorted in disdain, "After all, you are using the title of my wife.
It's fine if you behave like a lunatic in front of outsiders, but if you embarrass me by acting crazy, don't blame me for asking the most strict nanny in the palace to teach you etiquette again."
Jiang Xinyu, who was still struggling, quickly stood at attention.
"I understand, my husband.
Don't worry, my husband.
No problem, my husband.
I promise not to embarrass you in public.
Um, can I ask where you're taking me?"
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Don't you always brag about how much dowry you have?
Now that you are here, your dowry naturally cannot be given to the Zhao family for free.
It would be a good opportunity to send the Li family's broken things to them as well.
By the way, let's take a look at what kind of beauty Li Mingyue is that can make Prince Zhao so eager to enter the bridal chamber."
Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but twitch her lips. This bastard was really narrow-minded.
Everyone has their own preferences for radishes and cabbages. It's not that you have to be angry if someone just doesn't like yours.
You were born in the wrong era. If you lived in modern times, this wouldn't be a big deal.
Forget about the fourth beloved woman and male bottom, with your looks, you can be snatched away even if you are as pretty as calcium.
She had seen people posting on the internet about purifying themselves on purpose, but they didn't feel inferior at all.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yuan was born in this era and his thinking was narrow.
Some women would be broken-hearted if they gave up and didn't want to marry him, and they would still be resentful even if he married such a beautiful woman.
Tsk, it's just a change of dowry. It's all on file with the government and it won't make any difference.
Why don't you just let the housekeeper do it? Why bother running to the door in such a hurry?
