C270 Candle at night

Sun Jiayao entered the character very quickly. She treated this place like the newbie village in the game, while Chang Bubai and the others were NPCs. She had already started to enjoy the treatment of a queen.

Of course there were good wine and good dishes. Other than Steward Zheng, they had already instructed their servants to prepare some, while Chang Bubai had prepared even more.

Originally, their family had planned to prepare a concubine for their second son, Chang Wei. The reputable people in the village had all been invited to come, and the food and wine were all already prepared.

Very quickly, the feast was set up in the pavilion, but the only people qualified to sit and enjoy it were Jiang Xiaobai, Sun Jiayao, Chang Wei and the first wife.

The rest of them were spectators. They could only stand a dozen meters away, holding torches and looking at the scene with reverence.

After tormenting himself for an entire day, Jiang Xiaobai was so hungry that his heart was practically on his back. As such, when the dishes came onto the table, they were immediately swept away by the wind.

Sun Jiayao was more or less the same. In order to protest against her mother's forced marriage, she had already been on a hunger strike for three days.

This had been tough for the First Madam and Chang Wei. They lived in an era where they paid great attention to table etiquette.

Chang Wei was still a little away from becoming deputy sect leader. Although he did not know that he had already become a deputy sect leader, he had already been modified by the Portal of Space-time and naturally felt a sense of intimacy with Jiang Xiaobai. Although he did not dare to do so, he did not feel particularly awkward either.

But the first wife was in pain, she had always been a pampered person and had never seen anyone at the table before. They were all gentle and elegant, with a focus on chewing and swallowing slowly and elegance, and when she saw Jiang Xiaobai grab a chicken leg, she was so surprised that she almost fainted.

Was this a deity? Was this an expert? Even the carriage driver at home wouldn't be like this.

Fortunately, the process of torture was not very long. Jiang Xiaobai and Sun Jiayao only used ten minutes to eat seventy to eighty percent of it. Their speed slowed down and they also became much more refined.

"Madam, please don't laugh at me. I'm really hungry. I haven't eaten anything in a day!" Jiang Xiaobai put down the chicken leg and used a wet towel to wipe his hands, then said: "You guys can pack up and return to Yi Zhou tomorrow, the old man is waiting over there."

"Master Bao, this humble woman was just about to say something." The first wife said cautiously: "Jin Soldier has occupied Yi Zhou City, killed Golden Man, killed Song People, how can Song Jin and Han Yue let this go? They will definitely send their army to kill him, and his Yi Zhou will become a chaotic battlefield, it's not safe!"

This was also what Jiang Xiaobai was worried about, and asked: "Are the Song Kingdom going to send out troops?"

The first wife looked at Chang Wei and said, "Today is Young Master Chang's day of celebration in Japan, but his brother Lord Douyuhou is unable to come back to congratulate him. I heard from Chang Mesial Length that they are preparing for war. "

Chang Wei said: "Master, my brother received an order to transport food for the army, so he cannot come back."

Looks like there really is going to be a war.

Jiang Xiaobai asked: "Your brother wants the normal soldiers to attack Yi Zhou?"

"What my brother is leading is Xiang Army, how can he have the qualifications to enter the battle and kill the enemy?" Chang Wei said: "I heard that the one leading the troops this time is a general surnamed Li, who will lead ten thousand Forbidden Army stationed at the Bao Zhou to annihilate the bandits."

"Ten thousand people and their Forbidden Army?" Jiang Xiaobai was shocked.

Just where did a small Baozhou City get ten thousand Forbidden Army? To use ten thousand people to attack a Yi Zhou City which only had a few hundred people defending, wasn't that making a big fuss out of nothing?

Chang Wei said: "The Bao Zhou is from the border city, if it was used to defend the Liaoren from the south, there would be many soldiers. A year ago, our Great Song combined with our Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom, and our army will head north to attack Youzhou. If we failed and come back, we have already been stationed here for close to a year. "

So that's how it is, Jiang Xiaobai asked: "Do you know when they will send out their troops?"

Chang Wei replied, "How would a small figure like me know about military matters. However, from what my brother said, the masters in the city haven't even prepared a starting fee, so I estimate that it will be a few more days before we set out. "

"Starting fee?" This was the first time Jiang Xiaobai had heard of this term.

Chang Wei said: "Master has lived in the Celestial Realm for a long time, so he does not understand the rules of the mortal world. The soldiers of my Song Kingdom are different from the Liaoren Golden Man.

Jiang Xiaobai was deeply moved. No wonder his Song Jun was so low, to not fight without paying. Was he really a soldier?

However, this was a good thing for Jiang Xiaobai. The longer they drag it out, the more sufficient the preparations for Yi Zhou City would be.

It would be best if they could never get the money, otherwise Jiang Xiaobai would not have to meet with the Song Jun soldiers.

Looking at the First Wife's meaning, she was unwilling to return to the Yi Zhou at the moment. She was truly afraid of war.

It was fine if he didn't want to, but he could send someone to deliver a letter to the Yi Zhou as long as he didn't let Wei Qiuyue worry.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Xiaobai called and Steward Zheng over and chatted for a while.

Seeing the nervous expressions of these two old fellows, Jiang Xiaobai was sure that they had already treated him and Sun Jiayao as gods, and didn't dare to take revenge on the First Madam and the others anymore.

This was for the best. Jiang Xiaobai ordered outsider Zheng and Chang Bubai to quickly prepare a room filled with money to treat the Madam and her servants well.

It was for the best, Jiang Xiaobai ordered Chang Wei to stop at the pergola every day at noon for the time it takes to burn an incense.

As for what it was, Jiang Xiaobai didn't say. However, Chang Wei was so excited that he nearly knelt down and kowtowed.

He had come back from the dead, the pockmarks on his face had mysteriously disappeared, and his lame leg was rapidly recovering. This was fate!

Waiting here for the call of a deity was the fortune of more than ten generations of people!

In the end, at around ten in the night, Jiang Xiaobai dragged the extremely unwilling Sun Jiayao through two or three doors, and returned to the living room.

Just as he landed, Jiang Xiaobai noticed the abnormality.

It was a quiet time, but there was a red light shining from the north side of the main bedroom. A woman's weeping could be heard.

Jiang Xiaobai was startled: "Who is it?"

However, Sun Jiayao frowned and said in disgust, "Ignore her. She must have thought I was dead and couldn't earn any betrothal gift money, so she's sad. "

"Is that your mother?"

Jiang Xiaobai knew that Sun Jiayao and her daughter were mutually dependent on each other. Their house had been set on fire during the day, so her mother was not present.

That's not right, right?

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and walked towards his bedroom.

With the help of the dim light, Jiang Xiaobai saw an old, grizzled haired woman kneeling on the ground, facing the distorted anti-theft window in front of him. She was mumbling something uncontrollably.

In front of the old woman, three candles were lit, and beside the candles, there were fruit cakes. It was obvious that they were paying their respects to the dead.

"Jiayao ah, Mom was wrong. Mom shouldn't have forced you!" The old woman kept kowtowing to the windowsill, her hair in disarray.

Sun Jiayao also came to the door of the bedroom, and said coldly: "Now that you know you're wrong, why did you insist on marrying that old man back then?"

"Jia Yao!" The old woman turned around, her expression one of ecstasy as she opened her arms and pounced on Leylin, "My daughter, we have finally met in hell!"

"Drip, drip …" The moment the old lady's arm was raised, Jiang Xiaobai was shocked to see that fresh blood was continuously flowing out.

"This is bad!"
