Sensing that someone was looking at her, Shangguan Wan looked over and realized that it was a handsome young Langjun.
Liyun secretly nodded his head, expressing his satisfaction. Such vigilance was not bad. Shangguan Wan was secretly puzzled.
Shangguan Wan and Jiang Nongqin had already eaten a little. Initially, they thought that they should not eat too much, but when the roast meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside was dipped in various spices, the aroma of the food tempted their taste buds. Their mouths kept salivating … Uh, actually, they were not that full …
Thinking of this, they did not care about being reserved anymore. They roasted and ate when they wanted to.
"Brother Lanting … No, I'm calling you lord now … These days are so comfortable …"
Shangguan Wan's diet had always been a combination of meat and vegetables. She rarely only ate meat like she did now. She thought that she would get sick of the taste after eating a few more mouthfuls, but after eating two plates of sliced meat with those strange sauces, she could have eaten more if her stomach was not big enough.
"Eat your roast meat. So much can't stop your mouth."
Jiang Pengji carefully flipped the meat slices on the roast plate. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and her cold voice carried some affection.
Shangguan Wan sighed and said, "It's not worth it to grow up …"
Jiang Pengji glanced at her from the corner of her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Shangguan Wan said, "If I was still the same age, my lord would not have complained that I ate too much. I'm afraid you would have coaxed me to eat more."
Jiang Pengji sighed and used clean chopsticks to add half a plate of meat.
She said helplessly, "My kindness was treated as ill-intent. It's not good to eat too much meat, lest it accumulates in the stomach and becomes difficult to digest. You, on the other hand, misunderstood that my heart ached for the roast meat. You're really heartless. Here, I've roasted it for you … "
Looking at the interaction between Shangguan Wan and Jiang Pengji, Qiguan Rang raised his eyebrows slightly and exchanged glances with Xu Ke. They looked like they were watching a good show.
"Lovers … It's good to be young …"
Qiguan Rang lowered his voice and teased. Xu Ke responded with an expression that said, "We both know."
Logically speaking, his lord was already 16 years old this year. However, other than his first fiancée, the current Madam Feng Jin, Wei Jingxian, he had never heard of his lord having any other female confidantes.
Their lord was still young, so they were not very anxious. Moreover, their lord was so protective of the fairer sex. Why would he worry about not being popular with women?
On this matter, the two of them had the same idea. A man should first establish his career, and there was no hurry to get married.
Speaking of marriage, Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang were secretly worried about the relationship between Feng Jin and their lord.
Feng Jin was the current husband of the lord's ex-fiancée. Was it really okay for the two of them to be together?
The facts proved that Feng Jin was truly a benevolent gentleman. He was open-minded and did not care about those rumors.
Even at last year's New Year's banquet, he was generous enough to bring his wife and children along.
Now that Shangguan Wan, who had a close relationship with their lord, had appeared, they felt that … something good might be around the corner.
In fact, when Qiguan Rang was sighing with emotion, Wei Ci's hand that was holding the cup trembled and the wine spilled out.
Feng Jin looked even more conflicted.
It was really difficult. He guarded a secret that only a few people knew about and watched as his teammates let their imaginations run wild, but he could not explain it.
"Let them speculate. It won't come true anyway." Wei Ci took out a greenish-gray handkerchief and calmly wiped the wine on his hand.
If his lord was attentive to a man, he could gossip, but he was not worried about Shangguan Wan.
When Feng Jin heard Wei Ci's words, his lips curled into a smile. "I think so too."
The two of them looked at each other with tacit understanding and raised their cups to drink.
Wei Ci's body was still weak, so the wine he drank was nourishing medicinal wine. After being unanimously approved by several physicians, it could slowly drive away the cold.
"Jingxian is also in Xiangyang. Changsheng, who was born last year, can talk and walk now. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Shangguan Wan's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"Of course I have to go. I haven't seen Sister Jingxian for a long time."
When they saw Wei Jingxian, the two of them naturally sighed and talked to each other about their encounters over the years.
When she learned that Shangguan Wan finally got rid of Madam Zhang, Wei Jingxian could not help but feel happy for her.
In the previous letter, Shangguan Wan told Wei Jingxian that she was going to marry a dead man. The man's betrothal gift also came with a copy of the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women. Her future mother-in-law even humiliated her in public, asking Shangguan Wan to study the Four Self-accomplishment Classics for Women and curb her dirty habits before marriage … At that time, Wei Jingxian felt extremely angry.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Shangguan family and was born into a noble aristocratic family. How could she tolerate being humiliated and belittled by such a shrew?
However, every family had their own difficulties. At that time, Wei Jingxian was still with Feng Jin as a hostage in Shangjing and could not even protect herself.
The only thing she could do was to comfort Shangguan Wan. She could not really help her.
Wei Jingxian hugged Changsheng. "It's all right now. I don't have to worry anymore."
Shangguan Wan sighed. "Yes, she used to be Shangguan Wan of the Shangguan family. Now, Shangguan Wan is just Shangguan Wan."
"Aunt …"
Recently, Changsheng liked to remember people. Whenever she caught one, she would repeat it over and over again.
Shangguan Wan looked at Changsheng and could not help but have a bold idea.
"Is Sister Jingxian taking care of little Changsheng at home now?"
Wei Jingxian was stunned. "Yes, Changsheng is still young and doesn't like to stick to wet nurses or maids …"
Changsheng was young and had a bad temper. The servants really could not control her, so she could only raise her by her side.
"Sister Jingxian, have you ever thought of finding a job?"
Wei Jingxian was stumped by the question. She looked at Shangguan Wan in confusion.
"Wan 'er, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Shangguan Wan could not tell why. She just felt that Wei Jingxian was also familiar with the classics and historical collections in her boudoir and knew the morals of saints. In terms of talent, she was not as talented as someone like Feng Jin, but she was much better than those illiterate fools.
It was just that it was too much of a waste to be trapped in a small inner courtyard.
Because of her own experience, Shangguan Wan always lacked a sense of security.
In the past, she felt that it was enough for a noble lady of an aristocratic family to fulfill her responsibilities. Now, she felt that such a life was a little dangerous.
She deliberated for a while and told her the truth. Wei Jingxian did not show an angry expression. Instead, she seemed to be thinking about it.
Wei Jingxian sighed. "Everyone has their own way of living … Changsheng is still young. I can't stop worrying about her."
At night, before the couple went to bed, Wei Jingxian told Feng Jin about this.
Feng Jin was about to take off his clothes, but he stopped halfway and said, "When Changsheng is a little older, you can give it a try."
Wei Jingxian was surprised. It was as if she did not know her husband.
