Chapter 80 What should I do if the general is too nice to me?

[Xiao Yu is right. I don’t have to pay for it myself. It’s just that I have to feed one more person and spend more money. There are not many people who are as good at budgeting as me. Xie Jing should praise me.]

“…” I’m not that poor. I don’t need you to be so budgeting.

Xie Jing glanced at Xiao Yu and saw that he was chewing on the lamb chops. He was eating more deliciously than Xiao Yu, without any restraint of a guest.

"Why is the young master becoming more and more unruly?"

Xiao Yu ate the lamb chops and said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Xie say that martial artists are most annoyed by red tape, and not being particular about details is the truth."

"..." Xie Jing: "I didn't say that."

Xiao Yu paused while chewing and looked at Xie Jing in disbelief, "Brother Xie, I heard you say it myself."

Xie Jing said: "I didn't ask you to be casual."

Xiao Yu: "..." Xie Jing is really hypocritical!

Jiang Youning ate the lamb chops and secretly glanced at Xie Jing. It was hard to tell whether he was angry from his expressionless handsome face.

He drank three glasses of wine in a row, maybe because of the pressure, just like when his elder brother was urged to get married.

Xiao Yu saw Xie Jing drinking, and looked at the wine on the table, picked it up and poured himself a glass. Eating barbecue and drinking is perfect.

Xie Jing saw it but didn't stop him. When he got drunk, he threw him into the carriage and asked Leng Xiao to send him back.

At this time, the aroma of roasted lamb spread throughout the general's mansion.

The old lady was reciting Buddhist scriptures. When she smelled the fragrance, her brows wrinkled. Last time, the rabbit was also roasted so fragrant.

"Isn't it just roasted lamb? Why is it so fragrant?"

Rong's mother glanced outside and was also puzzled. "Maybe it's because of the wind. The fragrance is far away."

The old lady has been fasting and chanting for a year. This time, she was distracted by the roasted lamb.

Du Huilan smelled the fragrance on the way to the study with ginseng tea. It felt even more fragrant than last time.

"Caiyue, do you know where the fragrance is coming from?"

Caiyue raised her head and sniffed the direction of the fragrance in confusion, "Miss, it seems to be coming from Lingxi Courtyard."

Du Huilan's eyes flashed with disdain, "This is a general's mansion, not a restaurant. It's either roasted rabbit or roasted lamb, and the old lady is still fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures." Caiyue

said schadenfreudely, "Miss, the old lady is fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and the lady kills people at every turn. One day, the old lady will be unhappy."

"How could the old lady like a girl like Jiang Youning?"

Du Huilan retracted her gaze and came to the study with ginseng tea. Seeing that the light was not on in the study, she knew that Xie Jing was not in it.

She looked at the guard beside her, "Where is the general now?"

The guard said, "The general went to the old lady."

Du Huilan smiled slightly when she heard this. The old lady has always liked her. If she goes there, won't she have a chance?

She went to Jingyouyuan again. When she entered, she found that Xie Jingdao was not in the room.

After talking, she learned that Xie Jingdao was called away by Jiang Youning.

Jiang Youning must have known that the old lady wanted Xie Jing to come to her room, so she deliberately called Xie Jing away. How scheming!

Nan Mianmian walked out of the yard smelling the fragrance and looked towards Lingxi Courtyard, "What is Jiang Youning roasting again?"

Xiuhe reminded, "Miss, do you want to go and take a look? The general is also in Lingxi Courtyard."

When Nan Mianmian heard that the general was also there, she immediately became energetic, "Let's go and take a look."

Nan Mianmian swung her handkerchief and walked into Lingxi Courtyard. She saw a bonfire not far from the big tree. There were several people sitting around the bonfire.

The fragrance was even better than outside.

Nan Mianmian walked over and found that the young master of Prince Jing's family was also there. She bowed and said, "General, Madam, young master."

Xie Jing raised his head and looked at Nan Mianmian, "What are you doing here?"

Nan Mianmian looked at the roasted lamb on the table. It was golden and crispy under the bonfire and looked delicious.

"I came here because of the smell, but I didn't expect it was in the Madam's yard."

She looked at the roasted lamb again, "This lamb is roasted well, I want to try it too."

Xie Jing ordered, "Chun Tao, cut a piece for the Third Madam."

Although Chun Tao didn't like Nan Mian Mian, she had to listen to Jun's words. She took a knife and cut a piece and put it on the plate, and then put it in front of Nan Mian Mian.

"Third Madam."

Nan Mian Mian sat down in front of Xiao Yu, and without being polite, she picked up the chopsticks and put the roasted lamb into her mouth. She wanted to say how delicious the lamb was, and Jun and Xiao Yu were eating it so happily.

Xiao Yu glanced at Nan Mianmian quickly, "Nan Mianmian, how does it feel to be the third wife?"

Nan Mianmian rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu, what a joke!

"Of course I'm happy to marry the general."

Xiao Yu smiled, "That's right, if I were a woman, I would want to marry a hero like Brother Xie." Nan Mianmian

: "..." You did it on purpose, right?

Xie Jing: "..." Fortunately, you are a man.

Jiang Youning: "..." I seem to have discovered something incredible.

After Nan Mianmian took a bite of the roasted lamb, she was surprised to find that the roasted lamb was delicious. She couldn't help but eat several mouthfuls and was reluctant to stop.

No wonder the general and Xiao Yu both like it so much.

Nan Mianmian was attracted by the roasted lamb and forgot the purpose of coming to Lingxi Courtyard.

When she finished eating and returned to her courtyard, she remembered, "Why did I only remember to eat? I should talk more with Jiangjun, maybe there will be a chance to consummate the marriage."

She turned her head and looked at Xiuhe, "Why didn't you remind me?"

Xiuhe said she was very aggrieved, "Miss, I did remind you, but you just lowered your head to eat, I reminded you several times."

Nan Mianmian: "..." Did I?

*

Xiao Yu ate and drank enough, patted her butt and left.

Jiang Youning was also full, she touched her belly with a satisfied look.

When Xie Jing looked over, she saw a scene. Her pretty little face was red from the fire. She would always have such a satisfied expression after eating.

"Come in. It's windy outside."

"Okay!" Jiang Youning stood up and followed Xie Jing with a cheerful step.

When they entered the house, it was indeed warmer than outside.

This afternoon, Xie Jing ordered people to put a cotton curtain at the door and light a charcoal fire in the house, just to prevent her from getting cold.

"Does it still hurt?"

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, then she realized what Xie Jing was asking. She smiled, "I'm much better now. The medicine prescribed by Doctor Wen is very effective."

Xie Jing nodded, "Wen Xianyu's medical skills are indeed good." He changed the subject, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Jiang Youning was stunned. She was afraid that she had forgotten about the medicine.

"It's time for dinner today. Can you take it tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow you have tomorrow's medicine to take." Xie Jing said and ordered, "Chun Tao, go and boil the medicine."

"I'll go right away." Chun Tao ran out, fearing that the general would be angry if she was a step slower.

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "I know the general is doing this for my own good."

"That's good to know."

Xie Jing had just finished speaking when he heard Jiang Youning say, "But I can't afford this kind of goodness. The medicine is too bitter. It hurts my teeth, stomach, and heart."
