C111 (1/2)
To Jiang Wan's surprise, the meal lasted for almost an hour, and the sky darkened completely.
And most of the delicious food on the table had only been lightly tasted by them, which made Jiang Wan's heart ache for no reason.
She stood up, a little reluctant to part with her, but her eyes never left the food that was almost the same as before.
”What's wrong?” Xiao Rui smiled at her and said, ”Are you not done yet?”
”I just suddenly thought of a few words,” Jiang Wan shook her head and looked at the food on the table, ”Zhu Men stinks of wine and meat, and has frozen to death along the way …”
Hearing that, Xiao Rui couldn't help but laugh: ”Are you going to freeze to death? Don't forget, it's the third day. ”
Jiang Wan, who felt that she had been ridiculed, glared at Xiao Rui. She hugged Xiao Rui tightly and smiled: ”Since my wife doesn't like to waste food, then let's get the kitchen to make a new menu tomorrow … ”Previously, there was no mistress in the house and the matters of the Inner Academy were handled by the Outer Academy. Now that you have married into the Inner Academy, it is better that you decide on the matters of the Inner Academy in the future …”
Was he trying to get the abbot to give him something?
Jiang Wan was also stunned for a moment, and didn't answer Xiao Rui's question.
When she thought about how she was just a servant at home, it was likely that her mother had never taught her how to manage a household, so she said softly: ”You don't have to be afraid, our Jin family has had accounts with other official families all these years, if we were to encounter any problems, it would not be disrespectful as long as we follow the books of the past years.” ”As for the affairs in the manor, it's even easier now. The stewards and mothers are all old now, so they usually don't need to mention anything to know what to do. When the time comes, I'll find you a maid who knows how to settle debts …”
Listening to Xiao Rui's chattering, Jiang Wan felt an indescribable sense of security. This man really did think of everything for her.
”Why are you so good to me?” Jiang Wan couldn't help but tug at Xiao Rui's clothes and ask.
Xiao Rui lowered her head, looking at her with a serious expression and said softly: ”Because you are worth it!”
With just one sentence, Jiang Wan's heart thumped wildly.
She lowered her eyes but dug her fingers deep into her dress: ”Do you know, sometimes … I really have an illusion... Do you think we've known each other in our previous lives... ”That's why it's so compatible in this life …”
She didn't have the courage to admit that she had been reborn. She didn't want to be looked down upon by Xiao Rui as a monster, but there were some things in her heart that made her unhappy, so she chose to speak in a slightly more tactful manner.
”Is that so?” Xiao Rui greeted Jiang Wan with a smile, ”I thought I was the only one who felt this way …” Ever since I met you in the Plum Garden of the crown prince's residence, it seems like I've met a person I haven't seen in a long time. I can't help but want to meet you … ”
The two of them spoke softly along the way, slowly and leisurely walking along the veranda back to the main house of the Spring Flower Courtyard.
The front of the house was like a bamboo garden of the Jin King's Manor. A big red lantern hung high up, illuminating the entire area around the porch with a red light.
Xia Yi, who was guarding outside the room, saw the commotion and shouted, ”The Crown Prince and Madam are back!” Then, with a bit of hesitation, he lifted the bamboo curtain.
Xiao Rui glanced at her strangely, but didn't say anything to help her block the bamboo curtain, allowing Jiang Wan, who was behind her, to enter the house.
As soon as Jiang Wan entered the room, she saw Clove, who had been squatting on the floor, jump up and down like a frightened little deer.
