The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1948

Chapter 1948: Chapter 971: Godfather (Second Update) (Part 2)

Chang Ying’s age is not much younger than Princess Xinyang, and Chang Ling and Chang Yun are also in their thirties.

They look very young, exuding a sense of justice and chivalry that rivals any man in the Jianghu.

Gu Jiao felt as if she had encountered the Seven Fairy Maidens from reality, each possessing unique charm and stunning beauty, all highly skilled in martial arts and exceptionally talented.

Chang Jing continued the introduction, "Xiao Hen, the young lord of Zhaodu, and Gu Jiao, the commander of Hei Fengqi, they are married."

Generally, when introducing women, one would mention which family a young lady belongs to if she’s unmarried, or whose wife she is if she’s married.

Chang Jing didn’t do that.

He remembered what Princess Xinyang and Aunt Yujin once said, that every woman should first be recognized as herself, and then as someone’s wife.

At night, the six brothers-in-law also came over.

The Chang household has a good family culture, with the seven daughters being hearty and straightforward, and even the brothers-in-law are not the type to scheme against one another, making their interactions carefree.

The dinner was the island’s highest standard of hospitality—a full fish banquet.

The main ingredients included sea fish, shrimp, and crabs caught by the fishermen. The cooking methods were not as complex as the full fish banquets from Gu Jiao’s previous life. They focused on grilled fish, pickling, brewing soup, and fresh seafood, preserving the original taste and freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent.

Geng Wuxiu couldn’t stop eating.

He was like a little chubby squirrel devouring its food, "I never knew fish could be eaten raw, and it’s not fishy at all!"

"The marinated crab is even tastier," said Chang Jing.

Initially, Geng Wuxiu was hesitant to try it, but the sashimi gave him great confidence. He took a piece of crab soaked in the red oily spicy sauce, shut his eyes, and took a big bite!

The translucent crab meat mixed with salty, tender, and juicy crab roe exploded in his mouth, stimulating all his taste buds.

The crab chunks were deodorized with wine and marinated with a secret sauce, perfectly balancing saltiness with a spicy and sweet flavor.

Aaah!

Delicious!

Liao Chen really couldn’t get used to raw food, which was a rare moment of agreement with Taoist priest Qingfeng in terms of taste.

Gu Jiao tried a little of everything; her favorite was the fish soup, as it was very fresh.

Gu Jiao originally thought that Xiao Hen, having grown up in Zhan Country, would be unaccustomed to the raw dishes on the table. To her surprise, he seemed even more used to it than Long Yi.

After the meal, Chang Jing escorted Liao Chen, Taoist priest Qingfeng, and Geng Wuxiu to the courtyard prepared for them to rest, while Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen stayed behind to discuss their purpose for the visit with Chang Kun.

"The first island master may be an old acquaintance of mine. I want to go and see him," Gu Jiao said rather subtly.

When the first island master passed away, Gu Jiao hadn’t been born, so by age, it was impossible for them to have interacted. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

But Chang Kun had witnessed too many incredible things with the first island master, and he dared not use common logic to deduce anything related to him.

Chang Kun said, "May I ask presumptuously, are you and he... from the same place?"

He knew that the first island master came from a Different World, and since Gu Jiao mentioned she knew him from before, she might also be from another world.

"Yes," Gu Jiao frankly admitted.

Her straightforwardness surprised Chang Kun for a moment.

Chang Kun smiled and said, "Honestly, I’ve always been curious about your story, and the first island master’s too."
