Tianxuan's words stumped Hong Xiaoduo. Yes, no matter what, she was going to someone's house for a banquet and to be a guest. It wouldn't be appropriate to go empty-handed!
Upon seeing Hong Xiaoduo's reaction, Tianxuan understood that she really hadn't considered this issue.
"Oh well, I only agreed to go because I get along well with that Mr. Jiang. What gift do you suggest I bring?"
Their family is very wealthy. If I buy something cheap, they will still laugh at me. If I buy something expensive, there's no need. It's better not to bring anything at all.
"Let them laugh at me for being stingy, let them find fault with me all they want. We don't plan to settle here long-term, so we don't need them to build a good reputation for us." After saying that, he picked up the bamboo basket full of ingredients and walked forward.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "Give me the jar too."
"I can carry you," Tianxuan said stubbornly.
"Oh dear, I know you're capable, but I'm afraid you might accidentally break the jar, and then we'll have to spend money to buy a new one." After saying that, he took the milk jar without further ado, and didn't even bother to let Tianxuan carry the bamboo basket he was carrying.
Tianxuan loosened his grip and immediately felt lighter. He straightened the bamboo basket on his back and obediently followed behind. He knew that what she meant by being afraid of breaking the jar was that she was worried about him.
If the seven of them accidentally break a dish or something, she would always say things like, "May you have peace and safety every year," or "Out with the old, in with the new." She didn't mind spending money, as long as the seven of them weren't hurt.
"Otherwise, why don't you take one of the braised ducks we made ourselves? Let Master Jiang have a taste?" Tianxuan suggested after thinking for a moment.
"No need. If I go, he'll probably come to visit us sometime, and we can cook for him then. Whether he'll even eat it if we take it to his house is another matter. If there are many wicked people in his household who might try something funny with it, that would be really troublesome." Hong Xiaoduo refused again with great certainty.
After walking a few steps, Hong Xiaoduo said to the child who had come to her side, "Tianxuan, don't be so generous. Don't think that just because we have a lot of braised duck and we didn't spend any money to buy it, it's made from wild duck. It's real wild food. We're getting a little tired of it now. If we store it properly, it can last for half a year or so. When we get to some remote place on the road, we can take it to satisfy our cravings."
On their way back to the courtyard, the two of them, one big and one small, were recognized by several groups of people. Although they didn't say hello, they all gave her a thumbs up, showing their admiration.
It wasn't that I admired her kung fu skills, but that she taught that scoundrel Yang Laowu a lesson.
At the Jiang residence, seeing the master personally go to the kitchen to give instructions, Madam Pang finally believed how much the master valued the person who had disciplined her son.
Over the years, the master has only stepped into the kitchen a handful of times.
Cheng'er secretly told her last night that his father had developed feelings for that young woman.
At that time, Ponzi still did not believe it.
In all the years since she entered the Jiang family, the master has never taken another woman besides her, not even the maids who serve him.
The master's heart always belonged only to his wife.
To this end, Madam Pang specially arranged for a pretty and well-built maid to seduce the master when he was drunk, because Madam Pang did not believe that there were truly affectionate men in the world.
As it turned out, the girl not only failed to get what she wanted, but also angered the master, who wanted to sell her off. When the girl was about to confess, Madam Pang quickly stepped forward and said that she had arranged it herself because she had not conceived since entering the mansion and had not been able to give the master a son or daughter, so she felt guilty.
The maid was not sold. The master told her that whether or not she had many children was all predestined, and she should not think too much about it.
After that incident, her heart was finally at ease. Even though she was still a concubine, she was the only mistress of the household, so it wasn't much different from being a second wife.
I never expected that after so many years, Cheng'er would be in his mid-twenties and he would actually have this idea?
Moreover, she was the woman who bullied Cheng'er.
Could it be that the young lady's appearance is very similar to that of the deceased lady?
This was the first time Pang's mind had been so chaotic. She told herself to stay calm; the man would be entering the manor at noon, and she would see what was going on...
