Jiang Yan saw him staring over there, feeling a bit embarrassed.
If she said in front of the owner of the courtyard that there was a ghost there, then her harmonious neighborhood relationship with the Protectorate would probably come to an end.
She was just trying to find an excuse to talk about it, but Qiu Kui, who was hiding in the kitchen, thought that she was so frightened by Feng Shuo's anger that she couldn't speak. Fearing that Feng Shuo would be angry with her, Qiu Kui swallowed her saliva and mustered up the courage to answer for her: "Next door... pomegranates keep falling, it might be haunted!"
Haunted
Is he a ghost
Feng Shuo’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Jiang Yan saw that he looked unhappy and thought that he was unhappy about his yard being said to be haunted, so he changed the subject awkwardly: "Well... maybe the feng shui of the shop I bought is not good."
After saying that, Jiang Yanyi fell silent. What was she talking about
Feng Shuo discovered that she always had the ability to get rid of all the anger he felt.
He didn't want to continue the topic of ghosts and asked with a look of disgust, holding the jar of pickled vegetables: "Where are you moving to?"
In Jiang Yanyi's opinion, he was so angry that he didn't want to talk at all, but even so he still remembered to help her move the sauerkraut jar. This general was quite decent in his conduct.
She quickly led him to the kitchen: "Just move it into the kitchen."
There are already quite a few jars and cans placed under the chopping board in the kitchen, all of which are Jiang Yanyi's masterpieces of the past few days.
She has tinkered with a lot of things, such as soybean paste, fermented black beans, and pickled radish.
She made sauerkraut this morning and the pickled garlic she planned to make in the afternoon is still soaking in a wooden basin in the yard. She also plans to grind tofu and make a jar of fermented bean curd tomorrow.
After Feng Shuo placed the sauerkraut jar under the chopping board, Jiang Yanyi quickly covered it with a lid to prevent dust from falling into the jar.
She squatted down and pushed the sauerkraut jar with her hand, intending to move it to the side so that when she finished making the jar of pickled garlic, she could squeeze it under the chopping board.
But when she used all her strength to push the jar of pickled cabbage just a little bit, Jiang Yanyi began to doubt her life. Feng Shuo could lift the jar with one hand as easily as a bowl, but why was it so heavy for her...
Is this the difference in strength between men and women
She continued to push the sauerkraut jar to the side, and this time it moved easily. Looking up, she saw Feng Shuo extending a hand to help her move it.
Jiang Yanyi inexplicably read a sense of arrogance from the condescending look in his eyes as if to say "just let me know if you need help".
Tsk, she suddenly felt that this great general’s temperament was quite like that of a Persian cat.
She smiled gracefully: "Thank you, General."
Feng Shuo was dazzled by her smile and turned away uncomfortably.
When Jiang Yanyi stood up, she suddenly heard the word "be careful". She raised her head and almost hit the edge of the chopping board faster. Fortunately, Feng Shuo reached out in time to block it for her.
The chopping board is a bit low. A few days ago, when Jiang Yanyi squatted down to put something down and stood up, her head was hit several times on the edge of the chopping board. She grimaced in pain every time, but she still didn't learn her lesson the next time she put something down.
This time, the top of his head hit Feng Shuo's broad palm, but it didn't hurt.
Their eyes met. His narrow and long eyes were half-closed, with a faint light flashing in his eyes that others could not detect. She tilted her head, her pair of autumn eyes were full of confusion.
His dark sleeves hung down, and Jiang Yanyi could smell a clean scent of soapberry.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was subtly ambiguous.
Jiang Yanyi was the first to come back to her senses. She said "thank you" and was about to stand up, but Feng Shuo held her shoulder with his other hand.
Jiang Yanyi remained in this frozen position, with a look of confusion on his face: "General?"
Feng Shuo stared at her without blinking, his eyes deep and deep. His throat moved, and he seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to ask this question: "What do you think of me?"
Jiang Yanyi was a little dazed, but the hand pressing on his shoulder was quite strong, and there seemed to be a smell of blood
She tilted her head and found blood on Feng Shuo's hand.
She was horrified and said, "Your hand is bleeding!"
He just used this hand to move the sauerkraut jar. Could it be that the old wound on his hand was broken
Feng Shuo ignored her and put one hand on her shoulder. With a somewhat paranoid look on his face, he continued to ask her, "What do you think of me?"
Since she couldn't understand his hint, he would just ask directly.
Jiang Yanyi was confused for a while, but finally she reacted. Feng Shuo kept asking her these questions for no apparent reason. Wasn't it just because he was doubting himself after a breakup and wanted to find a sense of identity
She said quickly: "I think you are great, General! You are both civil and military, wise and brave, benevolent, resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and you love your soldiers like your own sons..."
She was stuck for a moment, and couldn't think of any good words, so she continued: "He is such a great person!"
Feng Shuo joined the army when he was fifteen years old. He dealt with men and learned about the matters between men and women from the dirty talk of the soldiers.
What impressed him most was that one of his subordinates married a good woman named Hua Niang. When others asked her why she married such a rough man, Hua Niang just said shyly, "The general is a good man."
In his opinion, saying that someone is a good person just means that he likes him.
Now hearing Jiang Yanyi say that he thinks he is a super good person, doesn't that mean he likes him very much
Feng Shuo's gloomy eyes finally showed a little light, his ears turned red, and he seemed a little unsure, "Really?"
Look how injured this child is. Jiang Yanyi suddenly felt a little sympathy for the general.
She nodded vigorously: "Really."
She looked at the hand that was still on her shoulder and said cautiously, "Um... can I get up now?"
My legs feel a little numb after squatting for a long time.
Hearing this, Feng Shuo withdrew his hand from Jiang Yanyi's shoulder as if he was scalded. He didn't look directly into Jiang Yanyi's eyes, but always glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. His beautiful eyes were full of light.
Jiang Yanyi stood up with the help of the chopping board. He staggered because his legs were numb, and Feng Shuo held his arm again.
He suddenly came so close that Jiang Yanyi felt particularly uncomfortable and quickly stepped aside: "Thank you."
The redness on Feng Shuo's ears slowly spread to his neck. He coughed lightly and said, "You don't have to thank me anymore in the future."
Jiang Yanyi was thinking that what he said was a bit strange, but then he heard him say, "If you need to move the jar of pickled cabbage in the future, come next door and call me."
She moved a sauerkraut jar and ran to the next door to ask the general for help. Jiang Yanyi was not very sleepy in broad daylight and did not have such daydreams.
She thought Feng Shuo was just being polite. Her eyes dropped to her shoulder, and when she saw the bloodstain on it, she subconsciously frowned.
The clothes are quite thick. In ancient times when there were no washing machines and clothes could only be dried naturally, it was quite troublesome to wash thick clothes.
Feng Shuo saw it and immediately said, "I'll buy you a new one."
Jiang Yanyi quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you can wear it after washing it."
She glanced at Feng Shuo's bleeding hand. The flesh on his palm was bloody and looked painful. Thinking that he had torn the wound while helping her move things, Jiang Yanyi suddenly felt guilty.
She pointed at Feng Shuo's hand and said hesitantly: "Well... how about I bandage it for you?"
Although it was impossible for the general to ask her for medical expenses after the battle, looking at him, he definitely didn't look like someone who would take such a "minor injury" seriously.
These ancient people did not know how terrible tetanus was.
The shadow that tetanus brought to Jiang Yanyi was not her past real life, but the fact that she followed a TV series with true feelings back then. The supporting actor in the drama was good in every way, and was simply a gentle and domineering boss. Unfortunately, he was later killed by the screenwriter, and the cause of death was tetanus infection from a minor wound!
Jiang Yanyi was nearly mad with anger on the spot, that male supporting role was as fierce as a tyrant!
Died of tetanus? Could it be any less rude
Now seeing the wound on Feng Shuo's hand, she was afraid that this great general also died of tetanus in the original book.
After all, this great general never appeared in the original book and only lived in the mouths of others.
It was only in the later part of the book that it was mentioned that "the King of Liaonan died", but the book did not specify how he died, so Jiang Yanyi had no idea.
Feng Shuo had no idea that he had already died of tetanus once in Jiang Yanyi's heart. He just felt that the little cook was concerned about him.
He raised the corner of his lips and said, "Okay."
Jiang Yanyi bought the medicine and gauze the day after he settled here.
If conditions permit, prepare a "medical kit". This is a life habit that Jiang Yanyi developed in her previous life. However, what she prepared the most at that time were cold medicines and digestive tablets.
Jiang Yanyi led Feng Shuo to sit outside in the yard, cleaned the wound on his hand, sprinkled some hemostatic powder on it, and bandaged it with gauze while muttering, "There are so many things that are not satisfactory in life, but as long as you are still alive, everything is possible."
She was comforting him tactfully, telling him that even if he was hurt by the girl he liked, he didn't need to treat himself like this.
Feng Shuo thought she was talking about his mother. The condition of the Grand Concubine was no secret. His originally relaxed mood became even more heavy when he thought of his mother. He said, "Is it painful that you cannot recognize your loved ones when they are still alive?"
Jiang Yanyi suddenly paused in tying the gauze, his heart skipping a beat. He, he, he... he knew his identity
When did he know
Could it be that Lu Linyuan, that bastard, told the secret
Jiang Yanyi's heart was beating like a drum. She glanced at Feng Shuo and saw that he looked calm, as if he was not angry because she had lied about her identity. He had even been kind enough to help her move the jar of pickled cabbage. She felt a little relieved and said slowly, "It is hard, but there is no other way now. However, I believe that things will get better after all this."
"When things get dark, there's light at the end of the tunnel..." Feng Shuo silently recited these four words, and suddenly he laughed out loud: "What a light at the end of the tunnel!"
Jiang Yanyi was frightened by his laughter. He was about to explain that he had no choice but to lie to him. Before he could finish his words, Feng Shuo shouted, "Bring some wine!"
There is a saying that goes, "Let's drink and sing, how short is life! It is like the morning dew, and the past days are full of suffering."
In the past, Feng Shuo wanted to drink because he was upset, but today he wanted to drink because he was happy.
After he shouted that, Jiang Yanyi froze in place and said indifferently, "The inn... has not prepared any wine yet."
Thinking that he had the upper hand in someone else's hands, Jiang Yanyi was like a cat with its neck pinched, looking cowardly no matter how he looked at it.
Feng Shuo also noticed this. He couldn't figure out how he had scared the young cook. After thinking for a moment, he felt that the young cook might be afraid that he would spend his time in debauchery.
He coughed dryly: "Nothing, I don't drink often."
Why is this conversation getting weirder
Jiang Yanyi felt that something was wrong, but the panic of her identity being exposed occupied most of her mind, so she didn't think about it too much.
Seeing that Feng Shuo didn't seem to want to blame her, she asked reluctantly, "You don't blame me?"
Feng Shuo thought she was talking about controlling her drinking. He felt that this little cook was usually capable and straightforward, but when it came to love matters, she was very timid and cute.
He smiled and said, "I'm not that unreasonable person, why should I blame you?"
She doesn't like him drinking outside, so he should stop drinking in the future.
Jiang Yanyi looked confused after hearing this.
Is today's general so reasonable
This attitude doesn't seem like the way he treats a guilty person who has deceived him for so long and forged the household registration.
Although he and the emperor don't get along, his nominal concubine is still the emperor's favorite concubine, and his stupid father is now favored by the emperor. From his point of view, he is like a spy planted by the emperor...
She had been hiding her identity before, firstly because she was afraid that the emperor's men would find her and kill her again. Secondly, she was afraid that the general would not believe her at all. After all, people in their position were much more cunning than ordinary people, and would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.
Feng Shuo didn't know that Jiang Yanyi's mind was almost a mess. He was depressed before and didn't feel hungry. Now he was full of joy and felt his stomach was empty. He asked, "Is there anything I can eat?"
Jiang Yanyi temporarily calmed down his confused mind and said, "Yes, I'll get it for you right away."
Jiang Yanyi returned to the kitchen. She had stewed a pig's trotter an hour ago. Now she could poke into the pig's skin with chopsticks, and the bones and meat could be separated with just a light touch.
Because the pig's trotters were fried before stewing and then stewed in the marinade for an hour, the pig skin was bright red. She used the hind legs of the pig, which, although less lean than the front legs, is more conducive to long-term stewing and the meat does not fall apart.
Jiang Yanyi found the large bowl that he had used to serve rice to Feng Shuo last time, filled half a bowl with rice, then chopped off half a pig's trotter and put it on the rice. He then scooped a few spoonfuls of the broth from the braised pig's trotter into the rice before bringing it to Feng Shuo.
Feng Shuo originally just wanted to have some, but when he saw the bowl of pork trotter rice in front of him, which was half pork trotter and half rice, and smelled the rich meaty aroma, he couldn't help but feel hungry.
The pork elbow meat is soft and tender, fat but not greasy, the meat next to the pig bone is tender and gelatinous, the tendons are soft and elastic, and the taste is very rich.
Pick up a piece of rice with chopsticks, the rice grains are soaked in the soup, and when you put it in your mouth, there is a mellow meaty aroma.
After finishing a bowl of rice, he actually felt a little unsatisfied. However, thinking about how he almost ate up all the rice in the pot last time, leaving not enough for the two of them, Feng Shuo did not ask for more rice this time.
He put down the bowl and put his hand into his sleeve pocket. Jiang Yanyi thought she was going to take the silver and said quickly, "The general has been kind to me. I will never take your meal money again!"
Feng Shuo didn't like her awe and restraint towards him, so he frowned and said, "You don't have to be so restrained in front of me."
She is so timid. If she happens to encounter his mother getting angry, she will be so scared.
He was planning to take the money so that the little cook could live a better life.
But he was in a hurry to leave and only took a few taels of silver with him. Feng Shuo changed his mind and felt that giving her silver was too insincere and it seemed that he didn't care. He would have to go to the market to buy her some gifts later!
When he thought about buying gifts, Feng Shuo couldn't sit still: "I'm going out for a while and will bring you something later."
When he reached the door of the store, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and looked at Jiang Yanyi and said seriously, "I will help you find your fiancé Chen Ergou. Once you find him, you can cancel the engagement with him."
Jiang Yanyi:
Chen Ergou
So he didn't even realize his true identity
So what were those things he said before
What the hell is breaking off an engagement
She asked confusedly: "What happened to Ergou?"
Could it be that Feng Shuo had found a man named Chen Ergou who might be her fabricated fiancé? He found out that he was already married and had children, so he felt sorry for her
Feng Shuo looked at her blank eyes, his face was about to darken, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he frowned and said, "Since you think I'm good, don't think about others."
After a pause, he added: "I will take care of these trivial matters for you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Yanyi stared at his back in a daze.
No... Why are things getting weirder and weirder
Jiang Yanyi carefully recalled the conversation between the two just now, and suddenly his eyes widened in horror. This, this, this... Is this the legendary best way to get over a breakup, which is to enter into the next relationship as quickly as possible
The author has something to say: Jiang Yanyi (confused): Although I was present throughout the whole process, I really don’t know what happened and how things turned out like this
Don't panic~ I'll reveal my identity in the next chapter, there will be two more chapters today~
