Incense in the courtyard
Chapter 127 Incense in the courtyard
After half an hour.
Ke'er served a plate of dishes, placed them on the table, and served Jiangnan with a bowl of steaming rice.
Every movement is extremely skillful and meticulous.
Even the most picky master can hardly find anything wrong with it.
After doing all this, Ke'er stood at the door with his hands down, motionless, like an exquisite doll.
Jiang Nan frowned.
Many of his thoughts still maintain the habits of his previous life.
For example, he was never used to being served.
Just like when I ate Haidilao in my previous life, the service boy watched them eat.
With embarrassment, he almost picked out three rooms and one living room with his toes.
So, Jiang Nan greeted: "Ke'er, you also take a pair of bowls and chopsticks, let's eat together."
Ke'er at the door was stunned, shook his head lightly and said, "Master...it's not polite, if it spreads out, it will ruin your face."
Indeed, in the hierarchical dynasty of Daxia, it was taboo for servants to dine with their masters.
Once known by other people in Xungui's circle, they will definitely be laughed at as a dog.
But Jiangnan is not so particular.
"Then it's fine if you don't spread the word."
Jiang Nan waved his hand, "This way—if you have guests at home, you can rest first; if it's just me, then we can have dinner together."
"what do you think?"
Ke'er trembled all over.
Not surprised by Jiangnan's decision.
But as a master, he actually asked what he meant.
"Thank you sir."
Ke'er hesitated for a moment, and finally trotted all the way to the kitchen to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and carefully sat opposite Jiangnan.
The latter showed a satisfied look.
"Ker, I know you have learned a lot of rules from the Ministry of Rites, but just listen to me in this courtyard and don't think too much."
"Yes, Ke'er remembered." Ke'er looked at Jiangnan and replied in a low voice.
Jiang Nan smiled, picked up a chopstick to roast the meat, and put it in his mouth.
After a while, a look of extreme satisfaction appeared.
This seemingly ordinary piece of roasted pork is fat but not greasy, refreshing and springy, and the mouth... Forget it, it's delicious.
As for Ke'er, after taking a bite cautiously, his face showed a look of incomparable surprise.
It's like I've never eaten such delicious food.
Jiangnan: "?"
Isn't this your own dish?
Facing Jiangnan's surprised expression, Ke'er blushed and explained: "Master, when Ke'er was in the Ministry of Rites, he was not allowed to eat the dishes he cooked."
At this time, a group of dark green figures slowly floated out of Jiangnan's room with a smell.
The sleepy-eyed green radish dangled and landed on the dining table with a clack.
A thin tree vine protruded from behind her, rolled up a peanut, stuffed it into her mouth, and her cheeks suddenly bulged like a hamster.
Jiang Nan looked at her helplessly.
Recently, Qingluo seems to have spent too long with the green lantern breath that she exudes, so her divine power has gradually increased, and she seems to be entering a higher realm.
Because of this, the little tree god, who was always lively and active, became extremely lethargic, usually sleeping except for eating.
Live like the second senior brother.
The sudden appearance of Qingluo obviously startled Ke'er, and she became vigilant.
After all, it is also the maid's job to clean up cockroaches and rats.
But this little thing looks too human-like, and she is a bit difficult to start with.
Seeing this, Jiang Nan explained: "This is Qingluo, it belongs to me... Just treat it like a kitten or puppy."
Kerr nodded.
A mark of this faint green unknown creature was stamped on the little brain - the master's pet.
Not long after dinner, Ke'er took the dishes and went to the dining room.
Jiang Nan let out a long sigh of relief.
It's been a long time since he had a meal like this.
Although traveling all over the world allowed him to master a lot of supernatural powers, he also lost a lot of ordinary people's fun.
"Master..."
The full-fledged green radish dangled on the table, her nose twitching uncontrollably,
"Have you also developed voters in the capital? Why is there a faint smell of incense in the yard..."
Jiangnan: "?"
He naturally has no voters in the capital.
But Qingluo said so, of course it has a purpose.
But now in the yard, there are only two people, Jiang Nan and Ke'er.
Could it be... that girl developed faith in herself during her short contact?
Good guy, didn't you just eat a meal?
impossible?
Just when Jiang Nan was thinking a lot, a clear voice echoed in his ears.
"Jiangnan, come to Fuqing Pavilion."
That was the sound of Daxiuyi.
Jiang Nan didn't dare to neglect, stood up and walked out, letting Qing Luo look after the house by the way.
Fuqing Pavilion is in the Xiuyi Mansion next door, and in less than a moment, Jiangnan stepped into the attic.
Daxiuyi is sitting in front of the desk.
"Daxiuyi, why call Jiangnan?" Jiangnan saluted respectfully.
Da Xiuyi raised his head and asked, "Are you still used to living in these two days?"
Jiang Nan nodded: "You have arranged everything meticulously, so you are naturally very used to it."
"That's good." Da Xiuyi nodded in satisfaction,
"I asked you to come here this time to tell you that tomorrow I will set off with His Majesty to attend the All-Alliance Council in the Tianji Pavilion."
Jiang Nan's eyes narrowed.
He is aware of this All-Alliance Council.
Back then when he was on the ship, Da Xiuyi mentioned it when he talked about Tianji Pavilion.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this meeting is the meeting with the highest standard in Shangyuan.
It was presided over by Venerable Master Ten Fang of Tianji Pavilion, and the participants included leaders of many human forces.
Once a year, at the end of the year.
It can be said that every meeting has dominated the next development of humanity in Shangyuan World.
And some wrangling.
When Emperor Daxia went, Daxiuyi would naturally follow.
Avoid some unlikely surprises.
But... what does this have to do with me, Jiangnan?
"Your Majesty once suggested that you go too." Daxiuyi kept on talking without surprise as soon as he uttered it.
Jiang Nan was stunned, "Why?"
"Because you have a three-year agreement with the Golden Winged Roc. If you go, the two bald donkeys in the Western Regions will definitely look very exciting because of the agreement to back away."
Jiang Nan slowly put out a question mark.
Murder?
The emperor is too doggy, right?
Is this what people do?
Didn't you push yourself to the point of the knife?
"Just kidding."
Da Xiuyi looked at Jiangnan's face, and laughed: "Your Majesty is just joking, and it's not to the point of breaking face with the Western Regions yet."
Jiang Nan's face darkened.
You don't have such an annoying mentality in your embroidered clothes, do you?
"Then what do you want to say?"
Daxiuyi put away his joke, and said seriously: "Jiangnan, this time I leave the capital with His Majesty, the open and secret battles in the capital will definitely become fierce. I just hope that you will proceed with caution in everything."
Jiangnan suddenly realized.
Daxiuyi said it euphemistically, but the meaning was very obvious.
——I'm leaving, please be quiet and don't cause trouble.
Jiang Nan immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry about Daxiuyi, I will definitely keep this matter in mind!"
Daxiuyi sighed.
He still knows Jiangnan better.
Naturally know his temper.
This is a demon king who is not afraid of anything.
It can be seen from the fact that Jiangnan dared to be tough with Kongxuan Arhat when he was at the sixth and seventh ranks.
This kind of temperament can be mixed in the rivers and lakes, but in the capital, where the forces are intertwined and the rules are extremely complicated, it is easy to get caught.
What he said was just a precautionary measure.
As for how much Jiangnan listened to... that's another story.
