Chapter 388 The Cannon Fodder of the General’s Mansion (10)

Xu Ruling was so miserable that she almost fainted with hatred. What made her even more angry was the things that she had secretly purchased a long time ago. The longevity chrysanthemums imported from Nanhai cost ten taels of silver per pot, and she purchased more than a thousand. I plan to put up the entire General's Mansion to celebrate his birthday with hundreds of flowers.

She had prepared all the food, lanterns and other miscellaneous things inside and outside and hid them in the warehouse at the back. What to do now? All are unusable.

Other things are okay and can be stored for a few days. The longevity chrysanthemum can only bloom for three days, and will wither after the last day of blooming. The ten thousand taels of silver flowers have gone out and now they can't even be displayed!

What now?

She had already spent most of the money in the General's Mansion's account. She had thought that she would be able to fill the internal affairs accounting room by collecting gifts from the birthday banquet. She could also be considered as a credit, and she completely stopped Jiang Lai's idea of ​​taking over the internal affairs office in the future.

Now that the money has been spent, the general will definitely not allow the acceptance of gifts. What should we do with these shortfalls?

——

"Some people can't sleep all night."

Jiang Lai leisurely leaned on the beauty to comb his hair. The original owner's black hair had not been taken care of very much, and it was very dry and frizzy. However, after Jiang Lai's careful nourishment during this period, the originally dry and dull hair now looked as if it were dry and frizzy. Smooth and soft like satin.

Draped on the shoulders, it was as thick as a waterfall, making the pampered face in front of her look even more beautiful and charming.

"Go down, come back later tomorrow. I want to sleep more."

Chunyue nodded obediently and retreated. When she closed the door and went out, she suddenly saw an extraordinarily tall figure standing outside the courtyard door. She was so scared that she almost screamed, but fortunately the figure walked out of the shadows in the next second. .

It turned out to be a general. No wonder, she thought it was a bear.

"This slave has met the general."

"Where's Madam?"

"Madam has just finished taking a bath and hasn't rested yet."

After saying that, Chunyue quickly ran out of the yard and closed the door of the yard.

Tie Yi has not been back for more than half a month. When he opened the door, the rabbit fur blanket at the door turned into a deerskin blanket. He stepped in again, and before his feet even touched the ground, he heard a soft voice of anger coming from inside.

"The general has to take off his shoes before he can come in."

Tie Yi frowned, where could there be so many rules?

But he still pulled back, took off his boots and threw them outside the door.

The room was very bright, there were candles everywhere, and it was very warm. When I walked in, I found a charcoal stove in the corner. There was no open flame in the stove, just some charcoal that was about to burn out. There was also a basin of water on top of it for steaming. The room was damp and warm.

This woman actually knows how to enjoy it.

Jiang Lai was lying on his side on the sofa and reading a book. When he saw Tie Yi coming, he yawned faintly.

"You are finally back. Do you want to prepare some hot water for a bath?"

Tie Yi took off his outer cloak, and his strong and tall body was extremely oppressive in this slightly small space. Only when Jiang Lai focused his eyes on his face could he ignore his terrifying figure.

After not seeing him for a few days, the stubble on his face had grown again, and he looked more like a gangster, with a deep light in his narrow eyes.

"You know I'll be back today."

"Of course, the day after tomorrow is my mother's birthday. If I don't come back tonight, wouldn't it be too late tomorrow night?"

Tie Yi is a filial person. Even if he doesn't want to see her, he will definitely come back to see his mother.

The man looked at Jiang Lai, slowly walked up and sat on the chair in front of Jiang Lai, where Chun Yue sat, making it easier to comb her hair.

Now that Tie Yi was sitting here, a large black mass completely blocked Jiang Lai's slumped body. The light couldn't shine in, so Jiang Lai frowned dissatisfiedly in the dim shadow and stretched out his hand to push him.

"You blocked my light."

Her hands were slender and soft, as smooth as white tofu. When she stroked them, a warm and fragrant wind could not help but penetrate into Tie Yi's nose.

Somehow, Tie Yi grabbed her wrist.

Thin, too thin, smooth and tender, it felt softer than tofu. Tie Yi didn't dare to use any strength at all, for fear that he would break the arm accidentally.

Jiang Lai took advantage of the situation and moved his butt directly from the soft top to Tie Yi's legs, and wrapped his arms around his neck.

Tie Yi sat, his body tense, and his heart felt like a fire was burning, and it was unbearably hot.

"My mother is celebrating her birthday the next day. I have prepared dozens of pots of longevity chrysanthemums to be placed in the yard. I have also invited a troupe to perform operas and decorate them with lanterns and pendants. Although I cannot be too extravagant and wasteful, it is my mother after all. On her sixtieth birthday, I still have to give the old lady some face.”

Tie Yi nodded.

He originally thought that Jiang Laikou was not a meticulous person, but he didn't expect that he also had a delicate and exquisite mind. He thought thoughtfully and comprehensively, and he was indeed able to handle things better than he expected.

Jiang Lai leaned on his chest and continued to talk.

"I know that when you first entered the court, many pairs of eyes were staring at you. The same is true for Your Majesty. After glory, there will be punishment. I don't expect you to have much power. I just need to keep the family safe. I have servants to call me when I go out. Just take the carriage with you, got it?”

After being in court for so many days, Tie Yi never expected that the first person to understand his difficulties would be his wife, a newbie.

He didn't have any expectations, as long as she stayed in the house and didn't cause trouble. He didn't expect that she could think of so much and help him do so much.

"And, I..."

"Have you always talked so much?"

Jiang Lai raised his head, saw Tie Yi's blazing eyes, and felt that his whole body was tense and stiff. He was a little scared, but he wanted to try it because he was desperate.

Life is all about eating, drinking and having fun. Jiang Lai never treats himself badly and rarely tolerates it, so after a moment of mental preparation, he knelt down and sat on his lap, his upper body just enough to look down at Tie Yi's face.

She likes this feeling of seeing everything clearly, taking in everything in a man's eyes.

"General, I ran away once during the wedding night. You shouldn't leave me alone this time, right?"

The man held his head high, his angular jawline was tense, his Adam's apple rolled violently twice, and his dark eyes were horribly dark, suppressing the beast that was about to wake up.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

His voice was hoarse, his throat was tight, and his chest shook, making Jiang Lai giggle.

The woman's smile seemed to be provocative, and Tie Yi could tell. Not only was Jiang Lai not afraid of him, he could even play with him in the palm of his hand.

That's enough, then he doesn't have to endure it anymore.

The bed was too small and collapsed once in the middle.

In a daze, Jiang Lai felt that he was being held in a pair of arms, his whole body pressed against his blazing chest, and wrapped in a cloak full of his scent. After opening the door, he strode to the main courtyard.

The maids and servants along the way only saw the general striding into his yard with his upper body naked and holding someone in his arms, followed by the door closing with a "bang". (End of chapter)
