Chapter 549 - 283 Bringing in Reinforcements_1
The dinner was a mutton soup pot, warm and cold-dispelling. The broth in the pot was snow-white and bubbling, with sheep bones and meat stewed inside, emitting a thick fragrance. Several dishes were laid out on the table, including white vegetables, radishes, glass noodles, potatoes, and two dishes of spicy sauce for dipping.
This made Qian Yixiu, who had just come inside from outdoors, unable to help herself from sniffing a few times. Sister Gong, who was attending to her, reminded her again, "Miss."
Qian Yixiu quickly straightened up, took off her shoes, and seated herself with proper posture beside the table. She sat on the left side of the kang table, while Qian Sangui sat on the inside. The two had just picked up their bowls and were about to eat, when a servant came to report, "General Liang has arrived."
Qian Sangui and Qian Yixiu exchanged glances, and Qian Sangui said helplessly, "Guests are always welcome, please invite him in."
Since the man was a Third-ranking officer and his father was Manjiang’s superior, Qian Sangui did not want to offend him. But Qian Sangui’s health was not good, and he couldn’t possibly go to the hall to receive him.
Liang Jinzhao came with a roe deer, saying he hunted it in the mountains. He glanced at the snow-white soup pot and laughed, "This is lucky, wanting mutton and finding it here."
Neither the father nor daughter had intended to invite him to eat, but hearing him say that, Qian Sangui had to say, "It’s a humble meal in the countryside, General Liang, please try it if you don’t mind."
Liang Jinzhao hurriedly replied, "I don’t mind, I don’t mind," and then took off his shoes, crossed his legs, and sat down opposite Qian Yixiu. He added, "Mmm, fragrant, it would be even better with some wine."
Qian Sangui had to instruct Su Siwu to bring the wine.
