Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 260 The Atmosphere at the Table

"How can I do this? I've already troubled you, Governor. This is too expensive." Feng Yang refused without a second thought.

"..." Gu Xiao didn't move

Wen Jiu hurriedly said, "Take it. The Dugong also gave it to the child. Don't underestimate this jade pendant. The Dugong has always worn it. At least he has been wearing it when I saw him."

"You are really considerate." Gu Xiao smiled and handed it to Feng Yang. Feng Yang glanced at Wen Jiu, who nodded. She reached out to take it and said, "When he gives birth to a child, I will definitely send an invitation to your house."

"No way, you got my jade pendant and you still want to blackmail me?" Gu Xiao joked and glanced at Master Xu. It seemed that he had been absent-minded since he heard about his identity.

"Mr. Xu has been absent-minded since I came in. Is there something wrong?" Gu Xiao's ability to observe and listen to all directions is something that no one can match.

"You are joking, sir. I am just a commoner and I dare not interrupt you." Master Xu stood up and replied. It turned out that the princess was pregnant. No wonder the two of them were whispering to each other that day.

"You don't have to be so reserved. You were invited by them, so you must have eaten together often. Just treat it as usual. All men will have a drink. Lord Su said that the fish and shrimp fry in the pond have been released, the trap worms have been solved, and the rice seedlings have been planted. Let's treat this as a celebration banquet. It's just a coincidence that I came here." Gu Xiao said a series of words.

Wen Jiu looked at Su Jinyu. She didn't know what Gu Xiao was thinking. It seemed that Master Xu was easy to get into trouble when he was drunk. He couldn't be forced to drink by others now. She had to stand up, and her elder brother, the county magistrate, couldn't stand up.

"Master Du, he is not good at drinking. He will lose his composure when he is drunk. It is better not to ruin our atmosphere. I will just drink it." Wen Jiu watched as the waiters lined up and came in one by one.

"You? He lost his temper? Are you feeling better?" Gu Xiao was confused. If Xiao Jue didn't come, his wife would probably run away. This vixen was really good at seducing people.

"My body has become stronger after coming here and working out in the fields,"

"The governor is coming to my territory today, so I must let Zhao An accompany him to have a good drink." Feng Yang patted the county horse.

"Yes"

“That’s a good feeling.”

Su Jinyu, Su Jinmu, and Master Xu all looked at Wen Jiu. One of the first two was very dissatisfied, but didn't dare to get angry. Su Jinyu roughly understood, while the latter set off fireworks in his heart, crackling and making a lot of noise.

She actually protected him!!!

Gu Xiao glanced at the warm wine and raised his glass to her. He looked down at Master Xu and raised his glass happily with everyone else. Seeing this, Su Jinmu felt extremely relieved!

After the last dish was served, there was dessert and the iced drinks were steaming cold. It felt like attending a fairy banquet in heaven, with fairy mist all around!

Gu Xiao had seen all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but what he saw today broadened his horizons once again. The ingredients of the dishes could be said to be quite standard, not too expensive, nor the cheapest, but the taste of the dishes he made could shock your taste buds, and the style was comparable to the exquisiteness of those in the palace.

"Master, you must try this abalone rice, it's rich and fragrant." Su Jinyu pointed to the cups in front of them.

Gu Xiao opened it upon hearing this. Inside was a cut abalone and a large sea cucumber.

Seeing that he was a little surprised, Wen Jiu mixed the soup for him with a spoon and handed it to him, "Master Du, try it and see how it tastes."

Gu Xiao took it and tasted it. "Not bad, delicious."

Then Bai Zhixuanling behind Wenjiu was already peeling a lot of shrimps beside the table, and Wenjiu also took them over and said, "You can also try this Dugong. Regardless of the lobster, I think it tastes better if you peel it yourself. The shrimp head is the most flavorful."

"Hmm, it tastes good. Okay, I'll try it myself." After saying that, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, rolled up the long sleeves of his outer shirt, and the inner sleeves were wrapped with gold-plated satin. It can be seen that he is a person who pays great attention to clothing!

"It's really fun, but it's very prickly. It would be nice if I could take it back." Gu Xiao was a little disappointed

"It's ok. They seem to have ice, so we can drink it cold. It shouldn't be a big problem for the governor to speed up and get to the capital," Wen Jiu suggested.

Gu Xiao had an idea when he heard her say that, and quickly asked someone to bring a few more. It would be difficult for him to carry more.

Wen Jiu originally thought that once the dock was ready for the next few days, the ship would be able to pass through. The waterway is much better and more convenient. There is an ice cellar on the boat, so I can bring some seafood back for my family to taste, as well as Keke, Yichen, and Shuangshuang. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

At this time Xuan Ling came over and spoke in his ear. Wenjiu gestured for her to wait until they got home to talk, and then turned around.

"What's the matter?" asked Mr. Xu

"It's nothing, it's just that a cat got into the house and broke a jade pendant I liked, so I came here to report it." Wen Jiu smiled and seemed to be responding to Master Xu, but in fact he was answering everyone.

"Go tell them to clean it up and leave the cat alone."

"Yes"

"What a coincidence! When you return to Beijing, I will give you a piece of fine purple jade," Gu Xiao said generously.

"Then I'm not polite" Wen Jiu thought it was a polite remark

Su Jinyu didn't believe Wen Jiu's words at all, but she didn't expose them.

As the cups were exchanged, the county horse's face was flushed with wine. Fengyang was also anxious, but he couldn't say anything. Su Jinyu had a good alcohol tolerance and remained calm until now. Su Jinmu had an even greater tolerance and had already used a teacup to drink! He also drank a little warm wine, but didn't dare to drink more! He was afraid of being exposed.

At this time, Master Xu held her wine glass and said, "Don't drink it, or you'll have a headache the next day."

Wen Jiu was about to speak when he was interrupted by Gu Xiao's chuckle, "I remember the county lady's husband is Prince Xiao! Mr. Xu should not do such a thing as meddling in other people's business."

"What the governor said is true. I am also concerned about the county lady. After all, the county lady's reputation in Ganzhou County is greater than heaven," Mr. Xu stood up and bowed.

"No one can be so powerful, not to mention the emperor, Mr. Xu should also be careful with his words." If the first reminder was not intentional, the second one was definitely intentional. But his words made sense and no one could argue with him. What's more, Su Jinyu's brothers didn't stop him from going, so they thought about him?

The reason why Su Jinyu didn't stop her was that she knew Jiu'er would never act recklessly when it came to important matters, so she let her do what she wanted. Now she had no idea why Dongchang came here, and she couldn't offend him.

Mr. Xu was a little angry because he was targeted by him. "Although what the governor said makes sense, I dare not agree with it. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he can't save us. In our eyes, he is a county magistrate who does practical things, and a county lady or princess who donates. I am not talented, I am just a donor of grain and money." He was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh? Isn't that an order from the Emperor?" Gu Xiao seemed to have to look at him.

"Who knows?"

"Master Xu, please sit down." Wen Jiu didn't want the two to continue arguing. After all, their status was too different...
