Chapter 41 Love Yes, Not Much at the Moment
The saying that love makes people blind and lowers their intelligence is indeed theoretically based. Everyone from kings and nobles to peddlers and hawkers are not immune to this.
Xiao Yuan would never admit that he was moved, but his actions were unconsciously giving in.
But he soon made a comeback.
As the sky darkened, dinner was delivered from the kitchen.
The housekeeper of the Governor's Mansion was indeed capable. After knowing that his wife had an unusual appetite, he urgently allocated more funds to the kitchen.
It is better to be prepared. We dare not let the situation happen again where the governor comes back with no food to eat.
Because I don't know my wife's limit, I prepare the ingredients according to the amount for four tables. Anyway, the weather is not hot yet, so even if I can't eat it tonight, I can have breakfast tomorrow.
After a few more adjustments, you will definitely be able to figure out the master's mealtime routine before the weather gets hot.
Jiang Xinyu was so obsessed with food that she didn't even care about Xiao Yuan when she saw the food on the table.
He sat at the table holding chopsticks with his eyes shining, his mind moving back and forth with the servant's hands as she served the rice, as if he was afraid that if he lost his focus, his rice would run away.
Xiao Yuan looked at her with a breath held in his throat, and even thought viciously that if he overturned the table now, the girl would surely cry out of anger.
In fact, Governor Xiao is still thinking conservatively. She will not only cry but also curse your ancestors. As for whether she will fight with you to the death, it depends on whether she is already blinded by anger at that time.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan was just thinking about it. Seeing Jiang Xinyu squinting her eyes happily while eating, he also felt hungry, so he simply sat down and ate with her.
Although Jiang Xinyu is greedy, she is not too picky about food. Moreover, this food originally belonged to someone else. In her busy schedule, she even took the time to pick up a piece of food for Xiao Yuan.
But it was just one bite of the chopsticks, as the Governor's wife was too busy to spare any time.
Jiang Xinyu didn't eat roughly, but her speed was so fast that it was dazzling.
The little cherry mouth kept chewing like a little rabbit, and the food was reduced layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye. Except for the fish and vegetable in front of Xiao Yuan, there was basically nothing left.
The maids were experienced as well, and they cleared the empty plates down while continuing to put more up.
Xiao Yuan only ate a bowl of rice and drank half a bowl of soup and was full. Then he watched Jiang Xinyu eat with interest.
No matter how many times he saw this scene, he always found it very novel, as if his little glutton's stomach was a bottomless pit.
He had read all the information about Jiang Xinyu, and the guard even bribed some old servants of the Jiang family to ask them questions.
His wife had never eaten so much since she was a child, and her appetite only increased dramatically two days before the wedding.
Could it be that you were just pretending before?
How is that possible? You can pretend for a while but not forever. How can someone who only eats a lot when he is full endure eating cat food day after day for more than ten years?
If I really started dieting, my body would not be able to bear it.
But although this girl is not fat, she is not the type of weak and frail person. He really can't think of a reasonable explanation.
In the past, Xiao Yuan was always very quiet when he ate. He would not eat many of the dishes on the table and would finish in two cups of tea at most.
As soon as I arrived at Jiang Xinyu's place, it was extremely lively. There were four maids standing beside her, one was in charge of serving rice, one was in charge of serving soup, one was in charge of emptying the bowls, and one was in charge of placing new dishes.
Moreover, her manner of dining is different from those of the wives of wealthy families. Everyone has their own duties and no one can be missing, otherwise they really can't keep up.
Jiang Xinyu was also helpless.
The small agate bowl for rice was not even as big as her fist and she could finish it in two or three mouthfuls. The soup bowl was not much bigger either and she basically drank it all in one gulp.
If she had to go back and forth to serve soup and rice by herself, she would be exhausted to death. I estimate that half the calories of the rice on the table would be consumed.
Let's just make do with it for now, she has to give some suggestions to the kitchen tomorrow.
Why use a bowl? It would be better to just give her a big basin.
There is no need to be so troublesome about the dishes. It is annoying to see plates of food on the left and right.
She now wants both quantity and quality but doesn't want fancy things. As long as the food tastes good, she's willing to put it all together in a big basket.
Jiang Xinyu spent nearly half an hour on this meal. When the maid brought the last dish, cold sweat broke out on her face.
The kitchen prepared more than 60 dishes for four tables, but now there is not a single dish left.
What if my wife wants to eat more? Should I bring a few more plates of snacks to serve her?
My goodness, are their wives really human?
Could it be that he was possessed by some wild goblin or monster?
Jiang Xinyu was a little anxious when she was eating at the first table. After finishing the meal, she was not so hungry anymore and her speed slowed down. She even had the leisure to chat with Xiao Yuan while eating.
Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping, be careful not to bite your tongue."
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes, "Can you wait for me to order? I think it's a bit embarrassing for you to watch me eat. Find a topic to talk about. If you are afraid that I will bite my tongue, then you can talk and I will listen.
How boring it is to sit here like this.
By the way, what do you like to eat the most?
I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it for you every day.
Or I can just try to learn it. Although I have never done it before, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Anyway, I have nothing to do at home.
But let me make this clear first, forget about making clothes. The only difference between my paws and pig's trotters is that they look thinner. I can't make clothes with them.
At most I can embroider a purse and a belt for you, nothing more.
You don’t want to see my fingers pierced into honeycombs, do you? ”
Xiao Yuan threw a handkerchief at him in disgust, "Wipe the sauce from the corner of your mouth.
What the zajia said was indeed true. He was not good at anything and nothing was left over.
Fortunately, your dowry was quite generous, otherwise you would be poor sooner or later if you eat like this."
Jiang Xinyu immediately got the key words, "What does this have to do with my dowry? Didn't we agree that you would provide meals?
Don't get mad at me. I'm not joking about what I said this afternoon.
Either provide food or sleep with me, choose whichever you want. If you want to starve me of both, I will hang myself at your door."
Xiao Yuan threw the teacup heavily on the table, scaring the maid who was serving the rice so much that she didn't dare to move. Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Jiang Xinyu suddenly softened her voice.
"Husband, I was wrong, please don't be angry."
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath.
Forget it. Even though this girl doesn't understand his pain, she still has some sincerity towards him.
He just couldn't bear to be cruel to a woman who looked at him with love and was willing to kiss him, a stinky eunuch.
Jiang Xinyu was delighted to see Xiao Yuan's calm expression. She no longer dared to say anything and just focused on eating.
This time she really knew she was wrong, and next time she would never make Xiao Yuan angry during meals.
Haha, what if this guy overturns the table?
After all, he is your parent who provides you with food and clothing. If you want to have an argument, wait until you have eaten your fill, and then try to coax him into a good mood before the next meal comes.
Xiao Yuan thought that his young wife had really grown sensible, but in fact she didn't worry at all whether he was angry or not.
Compared with her husband, the woman was obviously more worried about not being able to eat sweet and sour pork ribs and four-happiness meatballs.
There is love, but not much.
