"The food my mother gave me was so good that I couldn't bear to eat it alone. I asked the kitchen to cook it and gave it to the old lady to eat. I even told her that my mother personally prepared the tonic for me. The old lady was very happy when she found out. , I really want to see you."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her heart was almost frightened, and she hurriedly pulled Jiang Lai to speak urgently.
"Who asked you to give the medicine to others! And to the old lady, did you take your mother's words to heart?"
Jiang Lai looked innocent.
"Isn't it that good things should be taken out and enjoyed together? I am not living well in the General's Mansion, so I have to find ways to curry favor. Don't worry, mother, I will definitely come back to you again if the old lady eats it and it is effective."
Mrs. Zhao's face turned pale with fright.
That's not a good thing. If you put it together, it's a life-threatening talisman. If young Jiang Lai eats it, his body will be weak and his face will be sallow and it will be difficult to sleep. If the old man eats it, something big will happen!
This damn girl even said that the things were given by her!
If something happens to the old lady of the General's Mansion, she won't be able to escape her involvement!
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pulled Jiang Lai.
"The old man can't stand these things, so you can keep them for yourself next time, remember? It's all my mother's hard work!"
Jiang Lai looked at her and nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, my daughter will definitely feel my mother's hard work."
After a while, the prime minister of the day also sent someone to deliver birthday gifts, which gave the general's mansion a lot of face, especially the old lady, whose smile had not stopped since she got up in the morning.
On the other side, Jiang Yu, who had already taken a seat, raised her eyes and looked around, and asked Xu Ruling beside her in a low voice.
"Why isn't your general here?"
In this situation, shouldn’t the son be the busiest?
Fortunately for Tie Yi, he has not shown his face since morning.
"The general went out this morning and said that he was summoned by his majesty. Sister Yu, you don't know something. The general has made a great contribution when he returns to the capital this time. Your majesty thinks highly of the general and summons him alone every now and then.
At this birthday banquet, I heard that His Majesty will also send birthday gifts. "
Your Majesty sends you a birthday gift.
Jiang Yu didn't expect that His Majesty would value Tie Yi so much. He was obviously just a commoner, and he rose to the rank of General and was rewarded with thousands of acres of land. Now he was even rewarded.
The situation in the DPRK is unpredictable, and the civil administration headed by the Prime Minister has been suppressed. It seems that His Majesty intends to promote Tie Yi, who has just entered Beijing and has no background, to suppress the civil servants who have controlled the government and the public for decades.
If this is really the case, and if Tie Yi takes action, Dali Temple, which is investigating corruption and bribery in the Hou Mansion, will definitely let the Hou Mansion go for Tie Yi's sake.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Lai seems to have married a very important person.
"The general has arrived——!!"
There was a loud chant outside the courtyard, and many officials sitting in the seats had already stood up to greet him.
Everyone looked at this upstart in the court, the popular man beside His Majesty, the young general who opened up vast territories for the country.
A man in an indigo robe strode into the courtyard where the banquet was held. His hair was tied in a silver hairpin, revealing his strong and handsome face. He had light wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows flying into his temples, and every line of his facial features was like a steep mountain. As hard and cold, the thin lips are indeed a light pink, slightly pursed in a very serious look.
The body under the robe is tall and strong. With one step of his long legs, he is two or three steps ahead of others. His aura is overwhelming and powerful, giving people the feeling that he is like a strong wolf king in the wilderness. The gangsterism and fierceness are intertwined together. Don't dare to look him in the eyes.
Everyone was looking at him, including Jiang Yu.
She originally wanted to just glance at him, but as soon as her eyes fell on Tie Yi, it was difficult to look away immediately.
It was completely different from the rumors. Although the man in front of him was too tall and strong, his face was extremely handsome, and his strong and powerful look gave people full intimidation.
Just by looking at such a man, you can tell how powerful he is when he sweeps away thousands of troops on the battlefield. He is really an excellent man with no faults.
Jiang Yu silently looked away.
It's a pity that such a good son, who protects his family and country through life and death, married someone like Jiang Lai.
Xu Ruling stood up directly and walked to Tie Yi.
"General, the old lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Please take a seat."
The main seat was reserved for the old lady. The minister sat on the left hand side of the old lady, and the seat on the right was empty. Xu Ruling sat next to the empty seat, reserved specifically for Tie Yi.
The man stepped forward, and Xu Ruling followed him. Before he reached the seat, he stopped and looked at Jiang Lai, who was sitting on the side seat. Next to her was Mrs. Zhao.
Xu Ruling explained upon seeing this.
"Madam and mother haven't seen each other for a long time, so they sit together to facilitate conversation. General, please go over and sit down."
Tie Yi directly bent down and asked Jiang Lai in a low voice.
"Why don't you go sit in front?"
The man's voice was mellow and deep, and Jiang Lai's ears were numb. She subconsciously thought of his breathing when he was holding back the night before. She, who had always been perverted, wanted to touch his muscles now.
She thought so and did so. She put her hand on Tie Yi's arm. It was very strong and matched well with his waist.
"My mother is here. I'm going to sit down here. Come over and sit down and don't keep everyone waiting."
Tie Yi looked deeply at Jiang Lai several times, and finally followed him to the old lady's side.
There were several tables set up in the yard, and a stage was set up in front of it. During the opera, the actors on the stage would cooperate in presenting birthday gifts.
This troupe was found by Chun Yue, and the singing was so good that the old lady was fascinated by it.
Jiang Lai, who was concentrating on eating, silently put down his chopsticks after hearing what Little Pudding said in his ear, and looked up at the troupe in front of him.
"You think there's something wrong with this opera singer?"
Little Pudding is not sure either.
"Well, these two people said the word "assassination" when they were changing clothes in the back. The sound was too loud and I'm not sure. You should pay attention."
Jiang Lai held his chin up and sang Mu Guiying's expedition. There was indeed something wrong with Mu Guiying holding a spear in front of him. The head of the spear was so heavy that it didn't look like a fake. The spear in his hand should be a real one.
The closest ones to her were the old lady and Tie Yi. It was impossible for Tie Yi to assassinate the people around him. Tie Yi could break the spear with one hand.
Looking at the guests around him, Jiang Lai finally set his sights on Mrs. Shangshu.
She is the lady with the highest position and the highest official position here, and there is an old lady between her and Tie Yi.
And looking at the distance, it’s just right.
"There are indeed assassins, and more than one."
"You're going to be in trouble. The troupe was hired by your subordinates. Now it's full of assassins. Even if the assassination fails, you'll have to take the blame."
Jiang Lai sighed.
I can't even eat anything to stay alive.
"Aren't you going to tell Tie Yi? There are guards all around, and these people are not enough for him to handle the pot all by himself."
There was a flash of interest in Jiang Lai's eyes, and he said something disapproving.
"Tell him that there won't be any shows soon? Only by messing up will the good show come on, you know?"
