790: Chapter 515 790: Chapter 515 Xuanyuan Mengting’s call didn’t seem to stump the maids at all.
A maid entered from outside, carrying a tray with two glasses of milk in her hands.
She placed them on the table, told the miss and son-in-law to enjoy their meal slowly, and then bowed and retreated.
“Honey, here’s the milk you wanted!”
Xuanyuan Mengting smiled and winked at Jiang Tang.
Such a small request was nothing for her maids.
Jiang Tang hadn’t forgotten that maids also had storage bags.
“Indeed, a grand family acts generously, but what I want is not milk!” Jiang Tang pretended to complain again.
“Humph, having something to eat and drink is already good.
Keep being picky, and watch out for my maids turning their backs on you!” Xuanyuan Mengting pretended to be angry as she drank her milk on her own.
If my lovely wife is so gentle and kind, how come her maids are so fierce?
This isn’t a good sign; we can’t let them lead my big wife astray.”
The words of Jiang Tang were overheard by the maids and boys standing in the courtyard.
Since Xuanyuan Mengting said they were fierce and the son-in-law complained about them, it left them anxiously hopping from one foot to the other.
They felt that the young miss shouldn’t show her temper in front of the son-in-law, let alone blacken their name in the process.
Xuanyuan Mengting had fallen in love and wasn’t thinking too deeply about these things.
She was pondering how to act coquettishly, how to make the man in front of her care about her a bit more, not only throwing tantrums but also employing some clever tricks.
Her usual gentle demeanor was quite different from this one, like having a dual personality.
Jiang Tang treated the beauty’s whims as her joking around, adding color to their life.
He found silent coexistence boring.
Not everyone is perfect, and if someone tries too hard to be perfect, they will eventually slip up one day.
Xuanyuan Mengting’s typical gentleness and demureness should have some innocence and liveliness, which might make her happier.
Jiang Tang enjoyed the company of the beautiful woman before him, taking his turn to serve her, showing a different kind of care and tenderness than when she served him.
Xuanyuan Mengting was very fond of Jiang Tang as he was now, taking meticulous care of her.
Perhaps in the future, he would show the same attention to other women, but at this moment, she didn’t want to think about that; she just wanted him to stay with her longer.
She treasured every minute and every second.
These wonderful moments belonged to just the two of them, forever precious.
“Miss, son-in-law, someone is looking for you outside.
The Family Head summons you.”
Right after they finished their intimate breakfast, time still moved on, and they had to go!
The maid came in to report.
“Let’s go, they’re all waiting!” Xuanyuan Mengting said with a smile.
Jiang Tang let out a light sigh and said, “Ah, my time is being occupied again.
Wife, will you feel sorry for me?”
I will supervise your every move.
If you’re not honest and attentive, I might smack the palm of your hand!” Xuanyuan Mengting joked.
“Alas, no one understands my feelings at this moment, how sad it is to have our world for two disturbed!”
Jiang Tang feigned a sigh, but he wasn’t entirely joking; he was truly reluctant to give up the romantic times spent alone together.
“Then it’s up to you.
If you quickly teach them, won’t we have time for lunch and dinner together?”
Xuanyuan Mengting chatted with Jiang Tang as they walked, implying that if he didn’t teach diligently, they might not be able to have private lunches or dinners together.
“Oh, how efficient I am!
Just observe their work, point out their mistakes and give them a secret manual, right?”
Jiang Tang’s suggestion seemed already half thought out.
“Good idea, go for it!” Xuanyuan Mengting said, clapping and encouraging him.
At this moment, they had reached the conference hall, where the Family Head and several Elders were present.
Jiang Tang and Xuanyuan Mengting bowed in respect due to the younger generation.
Upon seeing Jiang Tang’s arrival, they all stood up and warmly said, “Let’s go.
Today, we old folks have some free time to take a look around and see how our son-in-law does as a mentor.”
As Elders and the Family Head of the clan, they hoped the clan members would become more capable.
Going to watch was also a chance for them to learn.
After all, they had been young once and had learned various skills too, just not mastered them or specialized in these particular fields.
Being able to learn better techniques was beneficial for them.
It could enhance their abilities and allow them to create useful items for themselves during their free time.
Jiang Tang and Xuanyuan Mengting, accompanied by the Elders, visited the various halls of the Mission Hall.
The first stop was Alchemy.
Jiang Tang had previously taught them advanced techniques, but the pill yield and quality were still not up to the mark.
In a furnace of pills, the yield was low, and it was improbable that every batch would consist entirely of high-tier pills.
Compared to before, when herbs were wasted and most pills produced were of low or middle grade, with only a few high-grade ones, the abilities of the people in the Mission Hall had greatly improved.
However, the clan was still not completely satisfied with this result since these people had learned under the tutelage of a top-notch Alchemist.
Now with such a skilled teacher here, they wanted to improve even faster with Jiang Tang’s help.
Jiang Tang stood aside, watching them practice alchemy.
The flames here were not of the high-grade Fire Spirit, and items refined by such flames could vary in quality due to the inability to control the source of fire properly, resulting in inconsistent pill yield and quality.
