Chapter 146 It's Huangmao
Chapter 146 It's Huangmao
"Is it Mr. Jiang?"
A male voice with a hint of surprise came into Jiang Xun's ears, and it sounded somewhat familiar.
Jiang Xun turned around and saw Thomas standing behind him with a smile on his face and a big bag of vegetables in his hand.
"Oh, it's Huangmao... No, it's Thomas."
Jiang Xun also greeted him.
Thomas heard this and continued.
"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang still remembered me. It's such an honor!"
"My memory is not that bad."
Jiang Xun just treated the other party's words as a courtesy.
However, he seemed to have misunderstood the butler's intention. What he just said did not seem to be a courtesy, but rather a genuine happiness that Jiang Xun remembered him.
"Mr. Jiang, are you waiting for someone?"
Thomas saw Jiang Xun sitting alone on a chair with a little dragon stuffed animal on his shoulder, and thought he was waiting for someone.
"Waiting for someone? That's not wrong, but the main thing is to wait for time."
Thomas was a little confused by Jiang Xun's words, so he simply gave up thinking about it and asked directly, "So, Mr. Jiang, do you have any plans for dinner?"
Jiang Xun waved his hand and was about to say that he had just had a big meal not long ago, but Thomas said first: "If you don't mind, Mr. Jiang, please come back to Mulou Teahouse with me. It's a good opportunity for you to taste my cooking skills. It can also be regarded as my small thanks for saving my life last time."
Jiang Xun really wanted to refuse, but Thomas's enthusiasm made him feel embarrassed for a moment. He was not an immortal and still had a lot of human touch. Facing someone's kind invitation, he couldn't refuse decisively.
Finally I agreed, since the agreed time was midnight, which was still early.
Seeing that Jiang Xun agreed, Thomas decisively led the way, and Jiang Xun followed slowly behind him.
The Mulou Teahouse is located in Inazuma Castle, so it didn't take too much time for the two of them to get there on foot.
Bell~
After the door was opened, the sound of crisp wind chimes was heard, indicating that someone was coming in.
Kamisato Ayaka usually chooses to rest here after finishing a day's work. Dealing with people from those big families is very tiring, and she needs to pay attention to her image at all times.
But now that I'm back here, I can relax a little, and my tense nerves relax at once.
Kamisato Ayaka sat casually in front of the table, picked up the hot tea that had been placed on the table a long time ago and sipped it slowly. This was prepared for her by Thomas in advance. As a retainer and housekeeper of the Kamisato family, this kind of thing could be said to be a piece of cake for her.
But why are there two cups of tea on the table?
Kamisato Ayaka looked up with some confusion, and there seemed to be someone sitting in front of her. The worst thing was that she only noticed it now!
"Good evening, Ms. Kamisato."
Jiang Xun greeted Kamisato Ayaka. Being a casual and natural person at ordinary times, he naturally did not think that there was anything wrong with the other party's actions just now.
However, for Kamisato Ayaka, it is a different story.
"Mr. Jiang...Mr. Jiang Xun?!"
When Kamisato Ayaka saw who was coming, she immediately knelt up straight, changed her lazy attitude, and spoke seriously.
"I'm sorry to have shown you my bad side."
It is obvious that Miss Linghua attaches great importance to her image in front of Jiang Xun. This is not an emotional aspect, but a respect, just like her attitude towards General Lei Dian.
Her face was a little red at this moment, as if she was ashamed of her behavior just now.
Jiang Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's behavior just now. Instead, the other party's serious look made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"You don't have to be so respectful to me. I'm not General Lei Dian. We don't have a superior-subordinate relationship."
Jiang Xun said seriously.
Perhaps she sensed the seriousness in Jiang Xun's tone, and after some consideration, Kamisato Ayaka finally relaxed.
"Then, I am being rude."
"Well, don't take it so seriously. I'm not used to that."
After emphasizing his attitude once again, Jiang Xun stopped talking and drank his tea quietly.
Tea has a light fragrance and is very comfortable to drink. It can effectively relieve people's fatigue.
I have to say, she is worthy of being a housekeeper, she is really thoughtful.
"When did Mr. Jiang Xun come to Inazuma?"
After a moment of silence, Kamisato Ayaka took the initiative to talk. Although she took Jiang Xun's words to heart, the good upbringing she received since childhood prevented her from leaving the guests aside, so she began to look for topics to talk about.
After Jiang Xun took a sip of tea, he started chatting with the other party. When they talked about the latest novel, Kamisato Ayaka frowned, obviously she had also heard about this matter.
However, since I had a lot of things on hand, and this matter seemed to be beyond the ability of the society, I didn't spend much time on it.
However, from Linghua's point of view, it is obvious that she has spent a lot of time privately to understand this matter.
"You mean, this spell is real?"
Jiang Xun nodded.
The spell was real, but he just didn't understand it.
When Kamisato Ayaka saw Jiang Xun nod, she lowered her head and began to think, as if she was thinking about how to deal with this matter and whether she should report it to General Lei Dian.
"You don't have to worry too much. The Eightfold Divine Son has already intervened in this matter."
"Yae Miyaji...?"
After hearing the name of Yae Kamiko, Kamisato Ayaka felt relieved. Since the mysterious chief priest had already come forward to deal with it, it was naturally not her turn to worry. After all, even if she was worried, there was not much the community magistrate could do in this matter.
......
"Then may I ask Mr. Jiang Xun what do you think about this matter?"
"It's nothing more than some evil spirits causing trouble. The truth will be revealed tonight."
Jiang Xun answered casually.
"tonight?"
Miss Kamisato caught the key words and repeated them with some curiosity.
Jiang Xun simply told her about this matter, including the plan for tonight.
"Mr. Jiang Xun, I have a request."
"Well, if you have something to say, just tell me. You're welcome."
"Can I join in on the action tonight?"
Kamisato Ayaka asked in a firm tone.
Jiang Xun was stunned when he heard this, and was a little surprised why the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family would be interested in this matter. Wouldn't it be better to just let someone else do it?
But after all, he is not Kamisato Ayaka, and he doesn't understand what is going on in her little head.
"If you want to come, I have no objection."
Jiang Xun replied.
Since Jiang Xun was willing to share this matter with her, there was naturally no reason to stop her from wanting to know more.
And even if he didn't agree, Princess Egret, who cared about the people's sentiments, would probably find some time to investigate it secretly herself. Instead of doing that, it would be better to take her with him.
"I am grateful and disrespectful to you, little lady!"
At this time, Kamisato Ayaka did not refer to herself as "I" but "this little girl", which seems to have made her position clear.
"So the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family is also curious about these mysterious things?"
Jiang Xun joked.
Upon hearing this, Miss Linghua looked a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but in the end she said nothing. In the end she could only lower her head slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
It seems that there is some curiosity involved.
