Chapter 79 Old Eunuch

I don't like Xie Beijing's arrogant attitude, but he has the capital to be arrogant and domineering.

Shen Yan could only endure his displeasure, wait for Xie Beijing to make mistakes in the future, and use the censor's impeachment to teach Xie Beijing a lesson.

Eunuch Zhou praised the emperor's sage and said with a smile: "The tiger that made the mistake must be the one raised by the fourth lady. The tiger that grew up in the mountains is ignorant and has no respect for people. If it hurts someone, it is the fault of the fourth lady."

Ignoring the matter of the tiger, Shen Yan asked Zhao Pingce how the two of them were doing, "I asked them to guard the beast park, have more contacts and build a good relationship, and work together for me in the future."

Eunuch Zhou shook his head and said that Jiang Chenqi was too arrogant and ignored Zhao Weiwei's proactive advances.

After hearing the news, Shen Yan was in a good mood for some reason.

Jiang Chenqi was also in a good mood. She sat under a tree and tasted the sauced donkey meat that the Marquis asked the secret guard to send. "Donkey meat tastes good. Where did the secret guard buy the sauced donkey meat? Next time I'm greedy, I'll buy a few kilograms to make it." Food and drinks.”

The secret guard not only brought sauced donkey meat, but also brought two jars of fine wine as ordered by the Marquis. The fine wine collected by the Hou Mansion tasted better than the fine wine prepared by Zhao Pingce.

Xie Jinghuai smiled proudly. You can't buy such delicious sauced donkey meat in the capital. "It was made by the chef of the Hou Mansion. This cook is from the north and is good at cooking with sauces. I also think the sauced donkey meat is delicious and has a similar taste to Commander Jiang." Commander Jiang, let you try the wine, and I will drink a few glasses with you."

Raising her glass to clink with the Marquis, Jiang Chenqi could drink enough. She drank two glasses of wine without drinking any more. "It doesn't taste as good as monkey wine. When it comes to monkey wine, I have to thank Miss Fourth. Thanks to her, I drank the famous monkey wine." Erjiu."

I wonder how the wild monkeys in the mountains pick wild fruits and make wine. Could it be that they have mastered the method of brewing fruit wine and passed it down from generation to generation.

Jiang Chenqi was amused by this idea and felt that she had thought too much.

The wine he collected was not as good as the monkey wine prepared by his aunt. Xie Jinghuai felt a little unhappy, "I have drunk monkey wine, but it is not as good as the wine I collected. My wine is old. Wine like this is good." Things become more mellow the longer they are kept."

Jiang Chenqi was thoughtful, remembering the mellow taste of monkey wine, and said with a smile: "The wine monkey gave to Miss Fourth was probably not brewed last year. It must be of a good vintage and has a mellower taste than this wine. The monkeys are very smart. , know how to trade with monkey wine, and if you offer monkey wine, you won’t go hungry in the winter, it’s a good deal.”

Those monkeys have human nature, their eyes look nothing like them, and they are animals that don’t understand anything.

The group of monkeys in the monkey park are playing around and have no pursuits. With their clear eyes, they look like simple monkeys.

Do the monkeys on the mountain know how to store monkey wine? Xie Jinghuai didn't know this, so he didn't dare to go back to the Marquis Mansion to taste the wine. "Let's go back to the grocery store as soon as possible after leaving the Beast Park. We feel safe staying with Senior Zhao."

The emperor has the final say when to leave. Jiang Chenqi persuaded the insecure Mr. Hou to go back first, "I can't guess what the fourth lady is thinking. Maybe she will break into the beast garden again. Your disguise can't escape her dazzling eyes. Last time, Senior Zhao took action." I just asked the Fourth Miss to leave, but now that Senior Zhao is gone, you and I together are no match for the Fourth Miss."

Not wanting to leave Jiang Chenqi's side, Xie Jinghuai believed that people like Commander Jiang were afraid of being stalked. He risked his life to lose face, and also wanted to pester Jiang Chenqi to pursue his sweetheart.

"I'm worried if I don't look at you. Zhao Pingce wants to convince you to be his sister-in-law. Don't listen to his sweet words. The Zhao family is a big family with many rules. It's not easy to marry Commander Zhao. If you want to marry, choose a family with few rules and easy to get along with.

"

For example, their Xie family is pretty good. If you marry in, you can become the hostess of the Marquis Mansion. There are no complicated rules and a lot of trouble.

Telling the Marquis not to worry, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "There is no point in getting married. I have an official position and a salary. Now I have a shop and run a small business. Why marry and ask for trouble? Marquis, you are a man and you don't think it is troublesome to get married. I think

It is not necessary to get married, you can live a comfortable life alone. A woman as powerful as Miss Fourth does not need to marry to be a good wife and mother."

Why did Jiang Chenqi mention her little aunt again? She must not learn from her little aunt and imitate her arrogance and unreasonableness.

Xie Jinghuai became depressed and looked forward to his little aunt leaving the capital. It would be great to go sightseeing in other places and not to continue to influence Jiang Chenqi's thoughts.

After a peaceful sleep, Jiang Chenqi got up early and left the small courtyard for a walk. She happened to meet an old eunuch who was sweeping the floor. Seeing the gray hair on his temples, she felt sympathy. She cut off her family ties and entered the palace to serve the royal family. She spent her old age doing odd jobs in the beast garden. This life is really hard.

Taking out half a pack of donkey meat with sauce from her sleeve, Jiang Chenqi said with a smile: "The weather has gotten cooler recently, so wear thicker clothes in the morning. Yesterday, I was greedy and ordered my entourage to buy donkey meat. This is the leftover meat. If you don't mind, take it.

Get off."

She didn't know how the old eunuch who did odd jobs in the Beast Park was treated. Seeing that he was thin, Jiang Chenqi guessed that the food here was not good.

The old eunuch raised his head, revealing a face full of vicissitudes of life. He waved his hands and refused to accept the sauced donkey meat. He said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Commander Jiang, for your kindness. I am a low-class person and I don't deserve to accept your food. I'll eat it later."

You won’t be hungry after breakfast.”

Asking the old man to be polite, Jiang Chenqi stuffed the donkey meat into his arms, "It's a bit greasy after eating too much donkey meat. Just take what I gave you."

After sending the donkey meat out, Jiang Chenqi continued walking with her hands behind her back until she came to the place where the birds were perching.

Looking at the birds standing by the stream catching fish, Jiang Chenqi felt that they were very diligent, even more diligent than the fat cat raised by the fat aunt next door.

Xie Jinghuai found Jiang Chenqi and asked Commander Jiang how he slept at night. "The beast park is very quiet. I didn't hear the rooster crow in the morning. I'm really not used to it. When I lived in Xicheng District, the rooster crowed before dawn. At first,

I’m not used to it. I wish I could find those ignorant roosters and kill them to make chicken soup.”

Jiang Chenqi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that privately Marquis Mingying was a bit childish, "Don't get in trouble with the big roosters. It's their nature to crow. Just like these birds that get up early to catch fish, many animals cannot resist their nature."

A group of red-crowned cranes flew over and hovered over the creek, attracting Jiang Chenqi's attention.

"The red-crowned crane, like the white crane, is an elegant flying bird, and is more pleasing to the eye than the chirping sparrows. There are not many sparrows in the Beast Park, but there are many sparrows in Xicheng District, and you can hear their chirping every day."

The quiet red-crowned crane is naturally more lovable than the sparrow. Xie Jinghuai said with a smile: "My aunt is willing to raise red-crowned cranes. This kind of flying bird is so charming. It is eye-catching to put it in the backyard. I have to raise two tigers. Fortunately, the Hou Mansion is not like other birds."

People come and go, otherwise no one would come to visit us."

The old eunuch who was sweeping the floor in the distance was sweeping the fallen leaves tremblingly, his ears twitching slightly as he glanced at Xie Jinghuai out of the corner of his eye.

Unaware of the scrutinizing eyes, Xie Jinghuai chatted with Jiang Chenqi.
