Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

The two walked side by side. Jiang Zhi didn't say a word. Ye Jintang was so embarrassed that he could only make small talk.

"Why didn't I see Muchuan today?"

"He had other things to do, so I didn't call him when I came out."

"Oh."

The two fell silent again.

Ye Jintang felt inexplicably uncomfortable and wanted to find a topic to talk about, but he didn't know what to say.

"Was it cold when the Sixth Miss came?"

"It's quite cold. Sitting in the carriage without moving feels like sitting in an ice cellar."

"Next time you go out, you can put a charcoal stove in the carriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhi saw the carriage that Ye Jintang was riding in. It was parked side by side with his carriage, but it was two sizes smaller.

He was a third-rank official from the Censorate, so the carriage he was equipped with was naturally extraordinary.

Ye Jintang was just an unpopular little orphan, so naturally she could not compare with him. As for using a charcoal stove in the carriage, probably no one would tell her about it.

"It's quite cold on the way back. Miss Six, would you mind riding in the carriage with me?"

Jiang Zhi asked if it was okay, but he had already blocked Ye Jintang's way to her carriage. If she dared to move slightly to the side, she would bump into Jiang Zhi.

Lechuan was a man with sharp eyes. He trotted over and lifted the curtain of Jiang Zhi's carriage.

The moment the cotton curtain was lifted, a wave of hot air hit his face, and Ye Jintang's slight reluctance instantly disappeared.

The difference between men and women is just a passing cloud. She doesn't want to go back and be frozen all the way.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Jiang."

Jiang Zhi's carriage was very big. Ye Jintang and the three little girls sat on one side, Jiang Zhi sat on the other side, and there was a charcoal stove in the middle.

The carriage started to move slowly, and the three little girls sat upright, not daring to even look at Jiang Zhi.

"Give."

Suddenly Jiang Zhi handed over a food box.

"The maid who serves me likes to put some snacks and dried fruits in my carriage. It will take a while to get back to the capital. You can take some and eat them to satisfy your hunger."

"Thank you, Master Jiang."

Ye Jintang took the lunch box and opened it. He saw that it was divided into many compartments like a sunflower, and each compartment contained a snack.

There are dried fruits, snacks, and even hard candies.

The hard candy looked a bit like a product from the 80s, the only difference was that there were various carvings in the middle.

Maltose is a rare commodity in Tianqin State, and only wealthy families can afford it.

Ye Jintang picked up a piece of candy carved with a small red flower and put it in his mouth. It was soft and not particularly sweet, but it had a rich flavor and was quite delicious.

She handed the food boxes to Luzhu and Liuli, asking them to take some to eat as well.

The two were young to begin with, and seeing that there was something delicious, they didn't hesitate for a moment, and then they picked up the dried fruits and ate them.

It is very pleasant to sit by the warm stove and eat sweet candies and dried fruits.

But after a cup of tea, the three little girls finally became lively and no longer as reserved as before.

But their voices were still a little low, and they didn't dare to talk to Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi, who was sitting opposite him, did not say a word. He picked up a military book and read it slowly while leaning against the soft pillow.

"Girl, try this. It's frosted on the outside and has a peanut in it. It tastes sweet and fragrant."

Luzhu put a candy bean to Ye Jintang's lips.

"It's so sweet."

"This white frost bean is the signature dish of Guquanzhai. It is very expensive at one tael of silver per pound."

"If you like it, we can go to Guquanzhai to buy some when we get back."

"It would be a waste for a servant to eat it, it's better to leave it for you, young lady."

"It's okay. You are my maid, so you can still eat a few candies."

The three of them kept whispering to each other, discussing which snack was delicious.

Jiang Zhi, who had been reading a book, had no idea what was written in the book.

All his thoughts were on Ye Jintang.

If, if he was really just the Left Deputy Censor of the Censorate, how great it would be.

No matter what, he would try his best to make Ye Jintang his wife.

Unfortunately, his last name is Jiang, and he is a man without a future.

Even if he was lucky enough to live in the fiefdom, how could the delicate Ye Jintang survive in the harsh living environment of Ningchuanzhou?

Although he knew that he couldn't like the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but pay attention to her every move.

Jiang Zhi smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought he would never be attracted to any woman in his life, but he didn't know when he fell in love with Ye Jintang at first sight and could never forget her.

The bitterness and sweetness in his heart were emotions that Jiang Zhi had never felt before.

He tried hard to suppress all the hopes in his heart and silently comforted himself that as long as he could see her from a distance, he would be content.

For a moment, Jiang Zhi hoped that the carriage would go slower and slower.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one, and before you know it, it disappears from your fingertips.

Soon the carriage stopped in an alley.

"Master, this place is only across an alley from the Marquis of Danyang's residence. Miss Ye can change carriages here and return in less than a cup of tea."

Lechuan, who was driving, reminded Jiang Zhi in a low voice.

Jiang Zhi put down the military book in his hand, which he had not even finished reading a page of, got off the carriage first, and then let Ye Jintang get off.

"Thank you, Lord Jiang, for sending me back."

"Sixth Miss, you really like to say thank you."

"It's windy outside, Sixth Miss, stop being polite to me and get on the carriage and go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

"When you get back, remember to drink a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea to get rid of the coldness in your body."

As he spoke, Jiang Zhi took out a new food box and handed it to Ye Jintang.

This food box is much bigger than the previous one and has four layers.

Looking at the style of the box, Ye Jintang knew without hesitation that it contained dried fruit snacks.

"I have already eaten a lot of Lord Jiang's food in the carriage just now. How can I have the nerve to take another portion when I leave?"

"There are some snacks in there that girls like to eat. I'm a grown man and I don't like them. You can just take them back and eat them."

Jiang Zhi didn't allow Ye Jintang to refuse and directly stuffed the food box into her hands.

Carrying the heavy food box, Ye Jintang had no choice but to accept it.

Occasionally, people would pass by in the alley, and it was really inappropriate for the two of them to stand in front of the carriage and talk.

So Ye Jintang exchanged a few words of greeting, got on the carriage and left quickly.

Looking at the back of the carriage going away, Jiang Zhi clenched his fists secretly.

They should not meet again in the future. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and do something to hurt Ye Jintang.

After standing in the north wind for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhi finally got back on the carriage and disappeared into the alley.

As soon as Ye Jintang returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she immediately went to Old Madam Ye to tell her that she was back.

In the end, she still didn't see Old Madam Ye.

"Sixth Miss, please go back. The old lady is still ill. Your clothes are not suitable for meeting the old lady."

Ye Jintang looked apologetic, but she was very happy in her heart. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

"Then Madam Sun, please say hello to my grandmother on my behalf. I will go back to my own courtyard first."
