Chapter 428 Drunk

Why is Wen Jianjia obsessed with being Xie Xin's concubine?

In addition to Xie Xin being a talented general and a promising general, it is also because of her current situation.

Her situation is actually not much better than Fan Yanran's.After the death of Zhou Dynasty, the Wen family was also defeated.

Wen's father and her brother both passed away successively.

Now, she and her mother are the only ones left in the Wen family.

The only thing she is better than Fan Yanran is that she has a cousin with a bright future, Xie Xin.

Xie Xin's mother both died of illness when she was in exile, and now Xie Xin has no elders in his family.

As Xie Xin's biological aunt, her mother is a rare relative in this world.In addition, her mother also tried to help the Xie family when they were in exile.There are only two people left in the Wen family now, and Xie Xin feels a little more pity for them.

Wen Jianjia's mother, the eldest Sun, offered to help manage the mansion on the grounds that Xie Xin's family had no elders and there was no one in charge of the general's mansion.

Xie Xin is often in the military camp and really has no time to manage the mansion.In addition, he was grateful for the kindness of the Changsun family back then, so he temporarily handed over the mansion to the Changsun family to take care of it.

Little did he know that because of his momentary pity, the two of them became more greedy and had many thoughts that they shouldn't have.

At first, the Changsun family just planned to give their daughter to Xie Xin as a concubine after Lu Zhixi came over.

But Wen Jianjia is no longer satisfied with just being a concubine.She hopes to monopolize Xie Xin, become Xie Xin's wife, and become the true master of the general's mansion.

The desire to become Xie Xin's upright wife and the true master of the General's Mansion wrapped around her like a vine, making all the blood in her body burn.

After scolding Lu Zhixi, Wen Jianjia held Fan Jianjia's hand in a flattering manner, and asked for help weakly and pitifully: "Sister Fan, what should I do now? She is not fooled at all."

Fan Jianjia's initial idea was to have Wen Jianjia deliberately come to Lu Zhixi to talk about her past with Xie Xin, so that Lu Zhixi would conflict with her, thus leaving an impression on Xie Xin that he was jealous and could not tolerate others, and then implemented the subsequent plan. .

Then the fault will be placed entirely on Lu Zhixi.

But she didn't expect that Lu Zhixi would be fooled by her.This resulted in their subsequent plans being unable to be implemented smoothly.

Fan Yanran was also a little surprised.

Although she was a few years younger than Lu Zhixi and the two had never known each other, she knew Lu Zhixi well when they were in the capital.

In her impression, Lu Zhixi was an arrogant and willful girl with no brains.

With her temperament, after hearing what happened between Wen Jianjia and Xie Xin, she would be furious on the spot and come up to slap Wen Jianjia.

But her reaction was not at all what she expected.Does she not care about Xie Xin at all, or has her temper changed?

Fan Yanran couldn't decide for the moment, she frowned and said, "Let me think about it first."

Wen Jianjia immediately smiled brightly and said softly: "Sister Fan, don't worry, I'll order tea and we'll think about it while we eat."

With that said, she rang the bell and called the waiter to come and order.Looking at the price of the refreshments, her heart ached.

But she thought that when she became the general's wife, she would no longer have to worry about this small amount of money, and she felt that the money spent now was worth it.

She was cruel and ordered some of the teahouse's best refreshments.

When the refreshments were served, Fan Yanran's eyes flashed with sadness.She often ate refreshments like this before the Fan family was defeated.

But now, if it weren't for Wen Jianjia's treat, she would definitely not be able to afford it.She took a lotus-shaped pastry, held it in her hand and tasted it carefully: "This tea cake is so elegantly made."

Wen Jianjia is now so focused on becoming a real general's wife that she can't think about having tea.But seeing Fan Yanran eating happily, she also took a piece and said with a smile: "As long as Sister Wen, I will often invite Sister Wen to eat in the future."

"No need." She spoke too bluntly, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across Fan Yanran's face.

Wen Jianjia was preoccupied with thinking about what she had eaten and quickly gave herself some advice, but did not pay attention to her subtle expression.

In order for Fan Yanran to help her wholeheartedly, she talked about the generals who were close to Xie Xin.He hinted to Fan Yanran that after she marries Xie Xin, he would act as a matchmaker for her and let her marry him.

Fan Yanran, the military general Wen Jianjia was talking about, had also heard of it and knew that he was an upstart in the dynasty.Although his current status is not as good as Xie Xin's, he is still a promising general.

In her current situation, she would never be able to get into such a marriage.

After finishing a plate of tea, she had already made a decision in her mind.She leaned close to Wen Jianjia's ear and whispered.

Wen Jianjia's eyes flashed with viciousness and determination.

In the tavern, the waiter quickly brought out the Shenxianzui side dishes ordered by Mu Yufeng.

Shenxian Zui is served in a palm-sized wine bottle and placed on a white porcelain plate.The waiter held a bright white porcelain plate with one hand and served the wine in such an elegant manner that Mu Yufeng couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, 100 taels of silver for a pot of wine, that's all." Dalin is a rough man, he can't appreciate the elegance, and all his attention is on the wine at the moment.

He really wanted to see what this divine drunkenness was and how it dared to be sold at such an expensive price.

100 taels of silver, in Dayao, is enough for ordinary officials to spend for a year.

In Lingnan, you can only buy a bottle of wine.

How is this different from robbery?

Were people at that time all idiots?It's so expensive, but no one is making a fuss.

Although Mu Yufeng didn't have as many inner dramas as Dalin, he still wanted to see what was different about the wine in this tavern, and how dare he sell it at such an expensive price.

He picked up the wine bottle and planned to pour a glass to taste first.

As soon as I opened the wine cork, a strong aroma of wine wafted out from the bottle.

The aroma of wine was completely different from what he smelled on the first floor.It was more fragrant and unique than the wine he had just smelled on the first floor.

As the most noble prince of Dayao, he has seen many good wines, but in so many years, he has never smelled any wine that smells so fragrant.

Even before he drank, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. No wonder the wine in this tavern was so expensive. The quality was indeed worth it.

With this thought in mind, he took a sip from the wine glass. This sip almost made him forget the purpose of his trip, and he was completely intoxicated by the aroma of the wine.

Dalin held the honeysuckle tea and stared longingly at his prince's wine glass, hoping that the prince would reward him with a sip.

But Mu Yufeng, who was always generous to his subordinates, completely forgot about him this time.

Seeing him drinking two or three glasses of wine intoxicatedly, the bottle of wine was about to be bottomed out soon. Dalin quickly pushed the fish skin peanuts on the table and reminded him: "Master, drinking too much will harm your health. Eat some first." Food to go with the wine.”

But it was too late for him to remind him at this time. Mu Yufeng praised "Good wine!" with blurred eyes, and then leaned on the table with a "clang".
