After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband
Chapter 81 Delicious

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Delicious

Achoo!

Su Jin sneezed again.

She rubbed her nose, tears almost streaming down.

From the time she arrived in the backyard to when she returned to the bamboo house.

In such a short distance, she had already sneezed four times.

Xingxing looked at her worriedly, "Miss, did you catch a cold? Should we get a doctor to come to the mansion to take a look?"

The Hidden Guard shot Xingxing a sidelong glance.

This maid must be worried silly.

The Eldest Young Madam has such excellent medical skills that she can even administer acupuncture to detoxify the Eldest Young Master. Is there really a need for a doctor for a mere cold?

"It’s nothing," Su Jin shook her head.

"Must be someone bad-mouthing me behind my back," she said.

"...."

"Badly stung and still have the energy to curse Miss, the Emperor is so wise, next time we won’t hold back," Xingxing said fiercely.

"...."

Xie Jingchen rubbed his forehead.

The entire army was wiped out, not even knowing how many reinforcements were injured.

And like this—

Was holding back?

He had nothing to say, so he turned to go back to the bamboo house.

Su Jin called after him, "Don’t go yet, the feud between me and Princess Shouning is getting bigger and bigger, you have to teach me the whip."

Xie Jingchen turned and said, "If Princess Shouning still has the strength at this moment, she should be practicing with a slingshot."

Su Jin felt overwhelmed.

So, she not only has to learn the whip but also practice with a slingshot?

Princess Shouning was on her heels.

If she doesn’t want to be bullied, she has to work hard too.

"You don’t need to worry too much, Princess Shouning won’t have a chance to leave the palace for a little while," Xie Jingchen comforted her.

"If she dares to come, our Duke Mansion is not a place she can come and go as she likes. Once she’s here, she shouldn’t think of leaving," Xingxing said fiercely.

"...."

The Hidden Guard seemed to momentarily see Marquis Dongxiang speaking from Xingxing’s face, "Is our Qingyun Mountain a place you think you can come and go as you like? Once here, you might as well not leave!"

Not just the words, even the demeanor was quite similar.

Hidden Guard, "...."

Seeing Xie Jingchen return to the house, the Hidden Guard silently followed but didn’t succeed.

Su Jin called him over.

"Your Eldest Young Master has taken a medicinal bath and needs to rest, come here, I’ll teach you how to concoct golden sore medicine," Su Jin said.

"...."

Resigned, the Hidden Guard followed Su Jin into the bamboo house.

Zilan Garden.

After returning to her room, Xie Jinyu furiously smashed the teacups on the table as a way to vent her anger.

Even after smashing two teacups, she still felt it wasn’t enough.

She picked up a third teacup and threw it.

A crash resounded throughout.

A maid came in, leaping to avoid the broken teacup fragments.

Once things quieted, the maid approached, "Calm down, Miss, I have some good news to share with you."

"What good news could there be?!" Xie Jinyu gritted her teeth.

The maid approached and said, "Miss, don’t forget the Eldest Young Madam loves to eat pig intestines. This matter has already spread around. Guess what everyone is saying about the Eldest Young Madam behind her back?"

"How is it spreading?" Xie Jinyu asked.

"It’s being talked about quite harshly, I can hardly bring myself to say it and sully Miss’s ears," the maid laughed.

"Just say it!" Xie Jinyu urged.

"Everyone is saying the Eldest Young Madam came from a bandit background, and even after becoming the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion, she can’t shake off her rustic nature. Leaving all the delicacies untouched, she prefers to eat pig intestines that even the poor disdain, saying maybe her head is filled with...."

"Filled with what?"

"Filled with cow dung."

"...."

Understanding it, Xie Jinyu laughed so hard she was bent over.

The maid, seeing her laugh, said, "At first, I didn’t know what cow dung was. They explained it to me, and then I understood."

"I heard the big kitchen cooked pig intestines for the Eldest Young Madam," the maid chuckled.

"Tell the big kitchen, tonight I want to have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, sweet and sour carp, steamed camels hump, abalone with pearl vegetables, hibiscus eggs, and goose gizzard and palm stew. Not a single dish can be missing!" Xie Jinyu demanded.

The little maid went to the big kitchen, where they were cleaning pig intestines.

You could smell it from afar.

Really don’t know how the Eldest Young Madam can swallow it.

The steward of the big kitchen, Mrs. Li, said, "Is there something that the young lady wants to eat?"

The maid reported the dishes, and Mrs. Li said, "Everything else is fine, but there’s no camel hump in the mansion."

"If there’s none, buy some. The young lady is in a bad mood, you know her temper if she doesn’t get to eat it," the little maid said.

"Yes, I’ll send someone right away to buy it," Mrs. Li replied.

After the little maid left.

Mrs. Li looked at the pig intestines, unsure of what to say.

The Eldest Young Madam eats too plainly.

The young lady eats too lavishly.

Both are demanding to serve.

Once the pig intestines were cleaned, the old maid removed the cloth covering her nose and said, "All cleaned."

"Send it to the Agarwood Pavilion," Mrs. Li waved her hand.

The old maid took the pig intestines to the Agarwood Pavilion and ended up bringing them back as they were.

"No one knows how to cook it in Agarwood Pavilion," the old maid said.

"Go ask the Eldest Young Madam’s maid if she knows how," Mrs. Li said.

In the small side courtyard, Su Jin was teaching a maid to knead shoulders.

Xingxing watched closely from the side, while a little maid came forward and called her twice.

Xingxing didn’t hear.

The little maid took the courage to tug her sleeve gently and cautiously said, "Mrs. Xu from the big kitchen is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Xingxing pointed at herself.

The little maid nodded.

Xingxing went out.

Just outside the courtyard, Mrs. Xu came up and Xingxing blinked, "Looking for me?"

"No one in the main kitchen can cook pig intestines, afraid it won’t suit the Eldest Young Madam’s taste, came specially to ask," Mrs. Xu said gently.

"I thought you were looking for me for something else, so that’s it, I can teach you," Xingxing said.

Xingxing hadn’t cooked before but had seen it many times.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu said, "It’s not that hard."

"It’s not easy at all. If not cooked properly, the taste can be very different, you must put your heart into it," Xingxing said.

"Yes, yes."

After teaching the maids, Su Jin returned to the backyard to continue being busy.

This kept her busy until the hour to have dinner.

A young maid went to the backyard to invite Xie Jingchen.

Without any messages from the Hidden Guard, Xie Jingchen came personally and said, "It’s time for dinner."

Xingxing said, "There’s a nice dish tonight."

Su Jin smiled faintly, "What nice dish?"

"It’s the dish the young lady likes most, the servants specially instructed the kitchen to make it," Xingxing teased.

She was genuinely curious to see it.

Su Jin put down what she was doing and returned to the house with Xie Jingchen to eat.

There were six dishes and a soup on the table.

Su Jin glanced at it and said, "Haven’t we had these dishes before?"

Xingxing frowned, "How come?"

"It shouldn’t be!" she said.

Su Jin sat down, smiled, "If not, it’s okay, what dish did you prepare for me?"

"Braised pig intestines."

"...."

Cough, cough!

Xie Jingchen choked on his throat.

Su Jin’s smile froze on her face.

She patted her forehead and said, "You went to the main kitchen to scold people in the morning, and then asked for pig intestines for me?"

"Yes," Xingxing nodded.

"...."

This maid’s reasoning is somewhat touching.

Xingxing had ample justification.

And Su Jin couldn’t refute it.

"I know pig intestines can’t compare with pork head meat, more like a laughing stock, the servant specially told the main kitchen to cook it," Xingxing said.

"...."

"The young lady can’t go a lifetime without eating her favorite dish."

"...."

"After they’ve had their fill of laughing behind our backs, I’ll tell them the Emperor had pig intestines at our Qingyun Mountain and said it was delicious; it’ll surely leave them speechless," Xingxing said proudly.

"...."

"But I don’t know why the dish didn’t get served."

"...."

Xie Jingchen held his forehead, "The Emperor really ate pig intestines?"

Isn’t that impossible?

But in Qingyun Mountain, there’s nothing impossible.

Xingxing told Su Jin and Xie Jingchen about the Emperor eating pig intestines.

This is how it happened.

Su Jin saved the Emperor and took them to Qingyun Mountain.

Marquis Dongxiang chatted with the Emperor for a while, close to lunchtime.

The accompanying ministers wanted to take their leave, but Marquis Dongxiang invited them to stay for a meal.

The accompanying minister said, "What the Emperor eats must be refined, and Qingyun Mountain probably can’t prepare that, it’s better to eat after going down the mountain."

Marquis Dongxiang slapped the table and said angrily, "Is this looking down on our Feihu Village?"

Then, the Emperor stayed to have a simple meal.

Marquis Dongxiang used pig intestines to entertain the Emperor.

To make it refined, Mrs. Tang specially instructed the cook to slice the pig intestines thinly and even garnished it with a flower.

The Emperor had never seen this dish, tasted it, found it quite good, and asked, "Is this dish unique to your Qingyun Mountain?"

Marquis Dongxiang said, "That’s pig intestines."

The Emperor, "...."

At that moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

The Emperor silently took another piece, "Not bad in taste, you all try it."

This "you all" referred to the ministers accompanying the Emperor.

When the Emperor speaks, it’s like an imperial edict.

How dare they not eat?

Each with an indescribable expression ate the pig intestines and said, "Delicious."

"Really delicious?" the Emperor asked.

"Really delicious."

"You like it so much, then finish it," the Emperor smiled.

"...."

The meal was harmonious.

The ministers couldn’t stop praising the pig intestines.

However, once away from the table, all the ministers vomited.

Su Jin, "...."

Xie Jingchen, "...."

Xie Jingchen held his forehead.

This maid is indeed clever, just a little too bold, using the Emperor as a stepping stone.

"Don’t speak of the Emperor eating pig intestines openly," Xie Jingchen advised.

"But if not said, people will laugh at the young lady behind her back," Xingxing said.

"What’s more important, the Emperor’s face or your young lady’s face?" Xie Jingchen asked.

"Of course, my young lady’s face is more important," Xingxing said.

"...."
