Chapter 412 Family Banquet
As for Qin Fang, he survived because Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng fought to the death to protect him, and the people arranged by Jiang Aonan arrived in time, but he was seriously injured.
Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng were resolute.
"Master Qin!"
Qin Fang waved his hands, covering the wound on his waist: "I can hold on!"
After that, he said to the visitor, "Brother, please help treat their injuries. I will go change my clothes first."
The man nodded silently.
Qin Fang returned to his room, used the water in the room to wash and bandage himself, then took out his official uniform and put it on, then he forced himself to go downstairs.
Jiang Aonan's men protected him and did not leave until they reached the outside of the city.
The officials waiting there were shocked when they saw him and Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng behind him.
Qin Fang was covered by his official uniform, so his wounds could not be seen. However, Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng bandaged their wounds directly on top of their clothes, so they looked very embarrassed.
Qin let go of the horse.
"Master Qin, what are you doing..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Fang fell straight down.
"Master Qin!"
Soon Jiang Zhongren heard about Qin Fang's fainting.
"Dad, Qin Fang is like this, do you think we need it?"
Jiang Zhongren waved his hand: "No need."
After frowning slightly, he said, "Well, go write a letter to Master Song and tell him about Fang'er's situation. He will know what to do."
Jiang Aonan nodded.
Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan slept soundly and did not wake up until the evening.
When the two woke up, the servants brought them hot water. They quickly washed up and came to the hall.
I saw that the lights were on in the hall. Old Master Jiang was holding Xiaoxiao in his arms and couldn't let go of her, while my aunt, He Mengwan and another noble lady were talking beside them.
Jiang Ruonan and Li Yan'er were chasing and playing in the hall.
Jiang Aonan and Jiang Zhongren sat nearby and chatted intermittently.
Jiang Weinan brought Xie Jiaojiao forward.
"Grandpa, aunt, uncle, aunt, second aunt, we are late."
Xie Jiaojiao bowed slightly to everyone.
He Mengwan hurriedly helped her up.
"We are all family, there is no need to be so restrained by so many false formalities."
The woman next to her nodded: "That's right! I heard from your second uncle that you are usually so carefree. Just be yourself in front of our family."
Jiang Weinan was about to introduce him, but He Mengwan took over.
"Jiaojiao, this is your second aunt. She is busy during the day and only has time to come over at night."
"Hello, second aunt."
He Wanying smiled and held her hand: "Okay, okay, I've wanted to meet your niece-in-law for a long time, and today I finally get to see her!" As she said that, she took off a hairpin from her head and put it on Xie Jiaojiao's head.
"Just consider it as my meeting gift to Jiaojiao."
My aunt snorted, "It's your fault! Who told you to come so late?"
He Wanying shook her handkerchief and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I will drink two glasses of wine as punishment later."
"That's pretty much it."
Everyone laughed again.
Xie Jiaojiao had thought that everyone in such a family must be serious, but she never thought that they would be so harmonious and friendly.
Old Master Jiang has spoken.
"Okay, let's eat. The kids must be hungry."
At this time Li Hean strode over.
"Luckily I'm not too late."
Li Yan'er immediately jumped up and took his hand: "Dad, you're finally here!"
Li Hean looked at her lovingly.
Jiang Weinan and Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly called out, "Hello, second uncle."
Li Hean smiled and nodded: "I should have come during the day, but I was busy at home and couldn't get away, so I came late."
After saying this, he went to pay his respects to Old Master Jiang and Aunt Jiang.
The aunt quickly helped him up: "It's good that you are here, please take a seat."
It was a very enjoyable family dinner. Xie Jiaojiao didn't say much and was just listening to them.
Although Jiang Zhongren was the prime minister, he never mentioned court affairs in front of his family. He looked peaceful and had a good relationship with He Mengwan. Others didn't notice it, but Xie Jiaojiao noticed it. From time to time, he would pick up some dishes for He Mengwan and remind her not to just drink.
Li He'an and He Wanying also had a very good relationship, as can be seen from the daughter they raised, Li Yan'er. Li He'an only had one daughter, Li Yan'er, but he never thought of taking a concubine.
At the entire dinner table, Li Yan'er and Jiang Ruonan were the most noisy, and the adults just let them do as they pleased. It was obvious that they were used to being spoiled.
Seeing that the two were arguing again, the aunt said lovingly, "You two little naughty boys, today is your cousin's and cousin's wife's welcoming banquet, you two should stop making trouble."
The two of them snorted and turned their heads away.
Everyone laughed again.
A charcoal fire was lit in the house at night.
The aunt pulled Xie Jiaojiao and said, "I heard that you invented mahjong?"
Um, this was not invented by her.
"You invented it, so you can play it, right? Now that we've finished our meal, you can play mahjong with us to help digest the food."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at Jiang Weinan, and Li Yan'er looked over.
"Cousin, just play with grandma. If I say I play with them, they will think I am not a good player."
Just like that, Xie Jiaojiao sat at the mahjong table.
After Jiang Zhongren finished eating, he said hello to everyone and went to the study with Jiang Aonan and Li Hean.
"Don't pay attention to them father and son. They have things they want to do. All we have to do is not cause them trouble." The aunt said as she played cards.
After hearing her words, Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but look at her.
He Mengwan and He Wanying both nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Old Master Jiang was still holding Xiaoxiao tightly.
"Grandpa, my daughter, please let me hold her."
"Go away, I haven't hugged you enough."
Jiang Weinan leaned over and said, "Grandpa, isn't my daughter pretty?"
When he asked this, Old Master Jiang's eyes became red again.
"She's beautiful, really beautiful. Her nickname is Xiaoxiao. What's her full name?"
Jiang Weinan looked at Xiaoxiao, who was showing off her fangs and claws, and said with a smile: "Call me Wuyou, Jiang Wuyou."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, okay, this name is good, and the meaning is good too. I hope our Wuyou will have a smooth and worry-free life."
After a while, Li Yan'er and Jiang Ruonan were hungry again and asked the cook to prepare some barbecue.
"These two little naughty monkeys said that they had eaten this barbecue at your house, and they wanted to make it again in two days to satisfy their cravings."
He Mengwan nodded and looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "I don't know where you get so many ideas."
Xie Jiaojiao replied: "I was just bored and thinking about it randomly."
After that, he shouted, "Eight barrels."
"Oh no, it's a mistake!" the aunt shouted with a smile.
Ho Wan-ying joked, "My niece-in-law is really good at playing. You've won so many times tonight."
"It's my aunt who knows how to beat me." Xie Jiaojiao said.
"My granddaughter-in-law is the one who knows how to talk."
