Su Jian glanced at Magistrate Cao with a heavy look. She disliked him very much. If he wanted to take credit for entertaining Eunuch Lin, he should go to the county government office to entertain him himself! This is the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion is hers, and the food is hers.
What she did was to use her favor as a treat, but it also depends on whether she will agree to it or not.
Su Jian saluted Eunuch Lin. Although she was extremely dissatisfied, she had to do a good job on her face: "The general gave instructions early in the morning to make more meals that Eunuch Lin would find delicious. But in the countryside, there are also
It’s nothing special, I hope Mr. Lin doesn’t dislike it.”
Zhan Zhan looked at Su Jian, he didn't give any orders.
"You're welcome, madam." Eunuch Lin nodded to Su Jian. Su Jian's attitude made him feel that he was respected.
Su Jian clapped her hands, and a dozen servants took off the lids covering the dishes in their hands. They placed the dishes on the table in an orderly manner and announced the names of the dishes. After placing the dishes, they left in an orderly manner.
leave.
Inside the house, the aroma of vegetables is strong.
Squirrel mandarin fish, Wensi tofu, boiled cabbage, lion head, boiled chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, kung pao chicken, braised chicken legs, pickles and radish strips, red date cake, plus a plate of fresh fruits
On the table.
Eunuch Lin looked at the food on the table silently. He had heard before that the servants in the General's Mansion were starving to death, so he stayed at the General's Mansion to eat. He was actually mentally prepared, thinking that the General's Mansion would not be able to prepare anything good.
Dishes.
but……
this……
Eunuch Lin looked at the dishes on the table intently. They were all delicious and delicious. Although they were not as good as palace banquets, they were completely comparable to the banquets of ordinary ministers.
At this moment, Eunuch Lin was completely sure that the General's Mansion had truly taken him into consideration by preparing such sumptuous dishes for him.
Zhan Zhan looked at the dishes on the table and fell into deep thought. He couldn't help but look at Su Jian again. He had been back for several days. Although the food in the big kitchen was better than before, there had never been such exquisite dishes.
Eunuch Lin was very satisfied, and his eyes were fixed on the squirrel mandarin fish. Cutting the fish into squirrel-like shapes was a test of knife skills, and the soup on it looked attractive in color. And the Wensi tofu...it was like hair.
Bai Xian, is it really tofu? By the way, this tofu is a rare thing, even in the palace, it is not often eaten, but the general's palace has tofu and even uses it to entertain him...
"The general and his wife are interested." At this moment, Eunuch Lin completely let go of his prejudice against the general's mansion. When he moved his eyes, he glanced at Magistrate Cao with a gloomy look. When he saw Zhan Zhan, he regained his amiable expression.
Smile. He must have misunderstood Zhan Zhan. Zhan Zhan must be cold-faced and warm-hearted. He doesn't look down on eunuchs like them. Doesn't this mean... he values him very much!
At that time, Su Jian did not expect that the appearance of Wensi Tofu would invisibly resolve a disaster.
"Eunuch Lin, in the countryside, there is no good wine to entertain. This is the mulberry wine we made ourselves. Please taste it."
When Eunuch Lin saw Su Jian, his Majesty's personal second-grade wife personally helped him pour wine, and he also heard that these dishes were all made by Su Jian himself. This completely treated him as a distinguished guest. For a moment,
Eunuch Lin was extremely satisfied.
Originally he was just thinking about it, but after he took a sip of the mulberry wine, his eyes suddenly brightened up. The mulberry wine was not harsh on the throat, it was sweet, and it was very delicious. He took another sip of the squirrel mandarin fish... and immediately let out a hum.
He couldn't think about anything else, he just wanted to concentrate on eating food and drinking wine.
County Magistrate Cao snorted coldly when he saw Su Jian standing aside and taking care of Eunuch Lin while Eunuch Lin looked satisfied. He thought he was already a pleaser, but Su Jian was even more powerful.
Zhan Zhan also looked at Su Jian thoughtfully. Su Jian showed no enthusiasm for him as the male master. He was even trying to make things difficult and intimidating. But for a eunuch who was not a man... he cooked the food and poured the wine himself...
Looking at his cup again, it was still empty. But Eunuch Lin drank several cups in a row.
Zhan Zhan handed the empty cup to Su Jian. He refused to admit that he felt uncomfortable eating. He was just thirsty.
Seeing this, Su Jian subconsciously poured a glass of wine for Zhan Zhan. When Zhan Zhan drank it, she suddenly thought that she had already taken care of Eunuch Lin for him. Wouldn't it be a bit aggrieved to take care of Zhan Zhan again?
After Zhan Zhan finished drinking, he raised his glass again and signaled to Su Jian.
Su Jian looked at Zhan Zhan and squinted her eyes, but she couldn't stop it. This man didn't know how to give up when he was ready. Just when he was about to speak, he only heard:
"The relationship between the general and his wife is so good. Their harmonious harmony makes others envious. If your majesty knew about it, he would definitely be happy." Eunuch Lin saw their interaction in his eyes.
Su Jian was stunned, yes! Your Majesty! She almost forgot that in front of Eunuch Lin, she and Zhan Zhan were a loving couple. She looked at Zhan Zhan, suddenly smiled, and helped him pour wine.
Seeing this, Eunuch Lin became more and more satisfied and continued to drink and eat.
Zhan Zhan, on the other hand, was stunned. After a few days since he came back, this was the first time Su Jian smiled at him, and she didn't look at him with any hostility or wariness in her eyes.
After the meal, Su Jian ordered people to take Eunuch Lin back to the yard after he had eaten and drank. She was going back to her yard to have a good rest. After a busy day, the most important thing was that she took a meal off. She was so tired.
, exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Madam, why don't you send Eunuch Lin back in person?"
It was the voice of Magistrate Cao.
Su Jian looked at Magistrate Cao. This man really couldn't read his eyes. Eunuch Lin had already left, but he was still there: "Do you want me to personally escort you back to the county magistrate, or do you want our general to escort you?"
"
Su Jian knew that Magistrate Cao didn't mean this. He probably wanted to use this to ridicule her, but she wouldn't give him the chance. She was also a person with a special mission now, and she personally helped Eunuch Lin cook and entertained her.
He ate, and for a person who was highly valued by the emperor but had no rank, she had already given him enough face. If he were more enthusiastic, he would be able to pass it, make people happy, and maybe even make him feel the same.
I feel that she is trying to please him.
"Escort the magistrate?" Zhan Zhan looked at Magistrate Cao with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Su Jian looked at Zhan Zhan. He didn't talk much all night, but he spent a lot of time drinking and eating meat. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly saw Zhan Zhan looking at Magistrate Cao with cold eyes.
.
Magistrate Cao avoided Zhan Zhan's gaze. The General's Mansion was now different from the past, and he did not dare to be too presumptuous. He began to regret it in his heart. He knew that it was inappropriate to speak at the moment, but he still couldn't hold it back. Although he was a junior official, he just came to the door.
The guest was just a little mulberry wine. Everyone drank it, but he didn’t!
There are also dishes on the table. When he picks up his chopsticks, Eunuch Lin will look at him, which makes him afraid to eat more.
"The general and his wife have offended me. How dare I trouble the general to escort me? I will resign now."
Zhan Zhan ignored Magistrate Cao and only looked at Su Jian. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not. When Magistrate Cao was about to step out of the living room door, he spoke.
"The General's Mansion is your world. If you meet someone you don't like, just fight him out. There is no need to worry."
Magistrate Cao's expression changed and his steps paused, but he did not dare to say anything after all, and only accelerated his pace to leave. He felt even more regretful. Before, he had always thought that Zhan Zhan would not come back, even if it was difficult,
However, he was kind-hearted and just made things difficult for the General's Mansion in private. On the surface, he didn't do anything. But Su Jian had resolved the situation very well in the past two years. He kept thinking that when the news of Zhan Zhan's death was completely clear, he would take action again, but he didn't want to hesitate.
Later, Zhan Zhan came back with military exploits.
Now, he doesn't dare to act rashly.
Su Jian looked at Zhan Zhan in surprise. She called him out without hesitation? He must be joking. But Su Jian liked such jokes. At least her behavior was affirmed and supported, and Magistrate Cao must have felt reassured after hearing this.
plug.
Magistrate Cao was heartbroken, but she was happy.
