Chapter 72 Warmth
Jiang Lisheng heard that the chef in the City Lord's Mansion was very good, and he was very much looking forward to it, and looked eager to try it.
After hearing this, Shan Gao started to pull her skirt. She ignored him, but he pulled hard.
Jiang Lisheng turned around and glared at it.
The mountain goat opened its eyes wide and looked at her pitifully. It couldn't speak, but it told her clearly that it wanted to eat too.
Mrs. Pei only then discovered the mountain jelly and was very surprised, "My dear niece, is this the pig you raised...?"
Is it a pig? It looks like one, but it looks different. It's very strange.
Jiang Lisheng hummed, "This is the pig I raised. This pig is different from ordinary pigs. It is greedy. I heard that the chef in your house is good, so it wants to eat."
"Oh, it can actually understand human language?" Mrs. Pei looked surprised.
When Shan Gao saw that his master paid attention to him and spoke for him, he nodded quickly, hummed, and wagged his tail to act coquettishly towards Mrs. Pei.
Madam Pei exclaimed, "This pig has actually become intelligent. It's really smart and cute." She asked Jiang Lisheng, "Being greedy isn't a problem. Who doesn't have a mouth and crave delicious food? How should I feed it? Should it be on the table, too?"
"It won't be on the table. Why would a pig be on the table? Just give it a basin." Jiang Lisheng said with disdain, "A bigger basin."
Seeing Madam Pei looking at her, she scratched her head embarrassedly, "Maybe I'll have to trouble your kitchen to make more food. It can eat a lot." She thought for a moment and added, "I guess it will need enough food for four or five big men."
"That's easy." Madam Pei agreed with a smile, and then instructed someone, "Go to the kitchen quickly and ask the cook to make more. My niece has a pet pig that also needs to eat."
A person dressed as a maid answered "yes" crisply and left immediately.
City Lord Pei and Madam Pei welcomed the two into the banquet hall, where skillful servants made tea and poured water and placed fruits and snacks on the table.
Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "My dear niece, eat something first."
Jiang Lisheng's eyes lit up, he nodded, and reached out to pinch the pastry.
Wei Qinglan slapped her hand away and said, "Wash your hands."
Jiang Lisheng looked at his white fingertips and said, "They're not dirty."
Wei Qinglan looked at her without saying anything.
Jiang Lisheng could only stand up and pulled him aside, "You have to wash too."
Let’s wash together.
Wei Qinglan didn't want to eat and felt that he didn't need to wash his hands, but she pulled him to stand up and he had no choice but to wash with her.
Mrs. Pei found it funny, thinking that there were two children, quite interesting. She wondered which branch of the Yun family they belonged to. She looked at her son, thinking that even if he was from a side branch, it would not matter, as he was still a member of the Yun family. The Pei family today was not as good as the Yun family, so she should not be picky. It was good enough to continue the friendship.
After washing his hands, Jiang Lisheng began to eat the snacks seriously. The snacks melted in the mouth, very soft and delicious. There were sweet, salty, sesame, red bean, rose and osmanthus flavors.
Jiang Lisheng was satisfied with the food, but she didn't forget Wei Qinglan. Every time she took a piece, she broke half of it and stuffed it into his mouth. Wei Qinglan had no choice but to take it. He didn't like to indulge in food, but Jiang Lisheng led him to eat. She ate so deliciously that he didn't say no. After a while, he ate a lot with her.
Shan Gao looked at them with envy and squatted at the door, but he knew that he had no share in the snacks and could only watch pitifully.
"Aunt, the snacks in your house are so delicious, better than any food I've ever bought." Jiang Lisheng took the time to praise his host.
Madam Pei smiled kindly, "I specially invited a dim sum chef from Jiangnan. My mother-in-law was born in Jiangnan and she likes this kind of food. If you like it, please eat more, my niece."
Jiang Lisheng nodded repeatedly. She would not be polite. Since she was already here, she would let Senior Brother Yun repay the favor in the future! She gave Senior Brother Yun spiritual stones as compensation. Anyway, she had a lot of spiritual stones now, so she didn't feel bad at all.
If you make up your mind, you can eat without any worry.
After tasting all the flavors of the snacks, Jiang Lisheng stopped talking, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and picked up the tea to drink.
When the two of them stopped eating, City Lord Pei looked at Wei Qinglan and asked, "Nephew, where did you two come from? The world is a bit chaotic. Since you dare to travel alone without any followers, nephew, you must have some skills, right?"
Wei Qinglan nodded, "Coming from the direction of Yichuan, uncle is right, he has some kung fu skills."
"From Yichuan, that is the jurisdiction of Luoyang. Luoyang is relatively stable now. Does your niece know some Kung Fu?" City Lord Pei looked at Jiang Lisheng again. He felt that the brother and sister did not look alike. They must have one taking after the father and the other after the mother. However, the girl's personality was quite cute and unrestrained. She did not look so squeamish.
Jiang Lisheng nodded and said shamelessly, "I know a little bit, but not as good as my brother."
City Lord Pei said with a smile, "It's a rare visit for you guys, so stay in the mansion for a few more days and let Rong Ge'er learn from you. His Kung Fu is not bad. But since he has not traveled far, his experience is definitely not as good as yours. You young people can chat with each other, so chat more."
Wei Qinglan refused, "If it weren't for my uncle, aunt, and brother Pei's invitation, we wouldn't have planned to come over. We have already made an appointment with a friend, and we're afraid that he's waiting anxiously."
Upon hearing this, City Lord Pei immediately said, "Then please invite your friends to stay with you. My dear nephew, please don't be polite. Our two families are old friends. No matter what you say, you must stay for a few more days."
Mrs. Pei nodded. "Yes, you can't leave. You can stay for a few more days. I have always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately I was injured when giving birth to Rong Ge, and I have never been pregnant again. I only have Rong Ge as my child. I am very weak. Now that you are here, you must let us show our hospitality."
She held Jiang Lisheng's hand and said, "Stay for a few more days. The old lady has gone to burn incense. If she knew that someone from the Yun family was coming, she would be very happy. When Rong'er's grandfather was still alive, this old lady would go to the Yun family with Rong'er's grandfather every few years. At that time, our family still lived in Pingjiang, which was relatively close to Yunshan City, and the Yun family would also visit Pingjiang. Later, Rong'er's grandfather passed away, and my master came to Hexin City for a job. The distance is too far, so we can no longer visit each other."
She sighed, "The old lady keeps talking about it, but she is old, the master has official duties and can't leave, and Rong'er has joined the army and is in charge of military duties. He is also busy all year round. I am free, but my mother and I are both women, and we dare not go out for long journeys casually. The old lady has been in poor health recently and is always worried about you. I wanted to write a letter recently to see if the Yun family sent someone, or to let Rong'er take off his military duties and go to the Yun family. Unexpectedly, you are here."
She said sincerely, "If there is nothing urgent, please stay for a few more days. I am asking you to do this."
Jiang Lisheng looked at Wei Qinglan. Was it urgent to meet up with Senior Brother Chen? After all, they didn't rush all the way. They came from Kushan and stopped and walked a lot. Especially today, they entered the mortal city just to satisfy her greed. Anyway, she was not in a hurry to find the entrance to the secret realm.
Wei Qinglan didn't expect this to happen. If she had known, she wouldn't have used the Yun family's identity. Now that she has been invited by such a kind person, it would be difficult for her to refuse stubbornly.
He met Jiang Lisheng's inquiring gaze, paused, and could only say: "Let's send a message to our friend to see if he is anxious. If he is, we can only go to find him. But if we leave, we will also send a message to our family and ask them to send someone to see the old lady as soon as possible."
Since he used the identity of a member of the Yun family, he had to take responsibility. He could only send a message to Senior Brother Yun to inform him of the situation and let Senior Brother Yun contact the Yun family.
Darlings, monthly tickets, eh?
