How terrifying is a ruthless emperor who only cares about the world? Jiang Fan only felt cold in his heart. Death was too heavy to bear.
"Get up, I'm going to hurt you this time."
"I dare not, my slave. Master, forgive me."
Jiang Fan touched his nose: "Look at the situation, why don't you just follow me first and look for opportunities later. Don't be a slave to a maid. From now on, I will call you Yanzi, and you will call me Young Master like everyone else. alright."
Gu Beiyan's face was blank: "I obey the Lord's order."
After only a few bites, he felt that the venison feast in front of him was tasteless. It was not because of his poor craftsmanship, but because Jiang Fan felt awkward.
Suddenly, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Call me the chef!"
Gu Beiyan performed her duties as a maid very competently, and soon she brought a middle-aged man forward.
Seeing the middle-aged man approaching with his head bowed, Jiang Fan immediately became cheerful.
"Uncle Ma, Uncle Ma, have you brought any wine?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He looked up in disbelief and saw a familiar young man sitting on his head, smiling happily.
"...Jiang...Jiang Xiaolang?"
When the empress summoned her, Linjiang Pavilion did not dare to refuse. She only heard that she wanted to cook for a great man. As the chef of Linjiang Pavilion, Ma Sanshan hurried over overnight. Just listening to the names of the dishes ordered, Ma Sanshan felt a little sweaty in his heart. Many of the eating methods were almost unheard of. Fortunately, he had Jiang Xiaolang's guidance, otherwise he would have thought of it. Will make a fool of himself. Even so, he was still worried that if he met a person like Jiang Xiaolang, whether the food he cooked would satisfy the nobleman.
After all, even though Linjiang Pavilion is known as the eighth in the world, it is still just a restaurant. Faced with being summoned by the empress in person, he cannot help but feel uneasy.
Never in my dreams did I expect that the so-called big shot was actually Jiang Xiaolang.
"Uncle Ma, it's me. Come on, come on, Uncle Ma, I'm weak, come here quickly."
Ma Sanshan didn't dare to move rashly and looked around. But he heard Gu Beiyan say: "Master calls you, just come forward."
Ma Sanshan walked up to him with some confusion, and was pulled by Jiang Fan to sit down: "Uncle Ma, how are you doing lately?"
"Okay, okay...Xiao Lang, how do you..."
"We'll talk about it later, let me drink some first." Jiang Fan suddenly reached out and pulled off the wine bottle from his waist, pulled out the lid, put it to his nose and took a deep sniff: "Oh, I guessed it right, Uncle Ma Sure enough, he is drunk. But I am so greedy."
After that, he filled the bowls for Ma Sanshan and himself: "Come on, Uncle Ma, have a bowl first!"
He raised his head and drank about two ounces of wine.
This was a head of wine. Jiang Fan had never drank like this before. After one bowl, a blush immediately appeared on his delicate face.
"It's comfortable..." After a long sigh, Jiang Fancai seemed to have regained his soul.
Ma Sanshan was still in a daze, and Jiang Fan couldn't help but yelled at him to drink.
Ma Sanshan could only pick up the cup and take a sip.
Jiang Fan was immediately dissatisfied: "Uncle Ma! What's going on? You're not doing this before when you're drinking. We can't forget the rules when drinking."
Ma Sanshan didn't know what to do, so he raised his head and drank it.
"That's right. I know how much Uncle Ma can drink. Let's have a good drink today. Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." He gave Ma Sanshan a few chopsticks and ate them himself. It was very delicious.
Ma Sanshan asked in confusion: "Xiao Lang, why are you in... the palace?"
Since arriving in Yangdu for three days, Ma Sanshan has never touched a spoon. Ma Sanshan was very puzzled. Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Xiaolang while cooking today. And this Jiang Xiaolang was in the Empress's palace, and the maids beside him were all above the Grand Master. Ma Sanshan was quite worried.
"Uncle Ma, it's okay. Just eat and drink. We'll talk about the messy things later. Anyway, don't worry, I'm living a good life. Come on, have another drink."
This is the Qin Palace after all, and Ma Sanshan has always been very reserved. Jiang Fan couldn't help but frown, and then kicked everyone out. Only Gu Beiyan refused to leave. The reason was that the empress had an explanation and would not leave.
Depressed, Jiang Fan simply said: "Except for this, you will obey everything I tell you?"
Gu Beiyan just said: "This servant belongs to the master."
"Okay, then you sit down and drink together!" Jiang Fan couldn't help but pull her to sit down.
After a few glasses of wine, Ma Sanshan gradually relaxed a little. Chatting with Jiang Fan about Linjiang Pavilion.
"Now Linjiang Pavilion is ranked eighth in the world, and there is a high probability that it will be promoted next year. Everyone is very happy."
"That's good. How's my sister Pei doing lately? Speaking of which, I'm thankful for her help in Paradise City."
Uncle Ma smiled naively: "Pavilion Master, Xiaoqing, Xiaohe, and Mr. Chai are all fine. We all miss you."
Jiang Fan raised his head to drink and sighed: "It was still a happy fishing day."
Although Ma Sanshan is simple and honest, he knows what can and cannot be said. He just picks some common things to chat about.
"Thanks to Xiaolang, Linjiang Pavilion's business is booming now. The master of the pavilion has saved a lot of money for Xiaolang."
Jiang Fan laughed loudly: "Sister Pei always cares about me so much, but it's really useless for me to ask for money."
"Why is it useless?" Ma Sanshan said sternly: "The young man has already reached adulthood. In the future, he will need money to get a wife and have children. The master of the pavilion has been thinking about finding a noble lady for the young man."
"A noble lady? Don't make trouble, don't make trouble. Why would a fisherman like me marry a noble lady? It's better to find a village girl and a fisherman's wife. She's a good match."
"That's not possible. Xiaolang is extremely talented and writes well, but he is not worthy of it..."
With the acquaintance, Jiang Fan was in a good mood, and before he knew it, the meal had already been finished. Gu Beiyan had already slipped under the table when he frequently persuaded him to drink and was not allowed to use his zhenqi to resolve it. Only Jiang Fan and Ma Sanshan became more and more excited as they chatted until their glasses were dry. In the end, they got carried away and even clasped their hands and sang loudly, singing Linjiang Immortal.
But it's a happy encounter over a pot of wine...
After Ma Sanshan finished the meal, he was going back to Linjiang Pavilion. It was rare for Jiang Fan to get together with old acquaintances. When he got excited after drinking, the two of them even started fistfighting. It stands to reason that Jiang Fan was naughty and Ma Sanshan was no match, so he could drink first. Most of them were Mr. Jiang.
Before I knew it, I stayed up all night.
When Jiang Fan woke up, Jiang Fan felt like he had a splitting headache. Apparently he hadn't eaten much in the past ten days and suddenly overeated, which made his body unable to bear it.
He rubbed his brows and tried to get up, but felt something pressing on his body. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Gu Beiyan. This leader of the Dragon Eagle Guard must have been very self-disciplined and would never drink. As a result, he was so drunk that he fell unconscious without taking off his clothes. , just lying on Jiang Fan's body and sleeping soundly. She was not so cold when she was sleeping. On the contrary, there was a bubble at the corner of her mouth, which made her look quite cute.
Last night, someone dragged me to bed in confusion, and then I felt something hit me hard on the stomach. I guess it was Commander Gu. It was probably because he dragged Jiang Fan to bed that he felt dizzy and fell there. .
I thought about teasing her, but decided against it to avoid embarrassment.
