"I told her that she should not be brought to Luyan Port, but my cousin refused to listen."
Ji Wanying complained to Ji Cen'an with some dissatisfaction: "Look at her arrogance and rudeness. She is so disrespectful to Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie. It's really unlucky."
Ji Cen'an looked at the dark old faces at the door. With a bitter look on his face, he scolded Ji Wanying in a low voice: "How can you blame me? His father is a general, leading troops from all over the country, and his mother is the sister of the Queen Mother.
, If Concubine Yue hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have been willing to bring her here."
After saying that, he quickly went to comfort Chu Nanzhi: "Sister-in-law, don't be like Princess Yuanxi. She has been pampered by her father and brother since she was a child."
Chu Nanzhi also had a helpless smile.
She didn't bother to argue with these noble ladies in the capital, she wished she could stay far away from them.
As long as she doesn't interfere with her pure life, she won't bother with it at all.
But suddenly she thought of what her mistress Ji Huazhen said when she entered the house, and what she saw, she gradually realized that the days to come would not be so simple.
Chang Yanjue knew that this girl was probably pretending to be confused at this time, so she looked at each other with Nie Huai'an and said to Ji Cen'an in a warm voice: "Cen'an, you should rush to Haining County to help Jin Xiao calm down."
If the bandits come back earlier, this wife will not have to worry all day long."
"yes."
Ji Cen'an responded respectfully, then looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, I will definitely bring Brother Jinxiao back safe and sound."
After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi smiled relievedly and said, "Thank you very much, Commander."
Ji Cen'an did not dare to delay any longer. He said goodbye to everyone and strode out of Chang's Mansion, and hurried to the garrison camp outside the city.
Watching Ji Cen'an leave, Chang Yanjue looked at his ghostly female protégé with a smile and asked in a teasing tone: "Are you feeling more at ease now?"
With five thousand troops from the imperial court coming to help, Chu Nanzhi naturally felt relieved. It would not take long for Lin Jinxiao to come back.
She was happy from the bottom of her heart, nodded energetically, and immediately said to the two elders: "Today, I wanted to take the two teachers to the humble residence to get together, and to prepare some newly developed dishes to honor the two elders. I never thought that the city west was under martial law."
"I and you, Mr. Nie, are satisfied that you have this kind of heart. Now you will be the wife of the defense ambassador. Soon."
At this point, Chang Yanjue suddenly paused and sighed meaningfully: "I'm afraid you and I, Mr. Nie, won't have this good fortune in the future."
Nie Huaian swallowed his saliva with great nostalgia, and pretended to be reserved: "Da Zhi, don't worry about these little things."
Chu Nanzhi heard the two people's voices quite sad, as if she wanted to make them angry, so she quickly replied: "What are you talking about? The teacher's wife just said that once a teacher is always a father, I
Even if you become an official's wife, you are still the disciple of the two elders, and it is natural to be filial to the two elders."
Chu Nanxiang noticed that the second elder felt that the eldest sister had become more noble now and did not want to trouble her, so he took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "If the second elder and Aunt Ji don't give up, let me make some side dishes for the elders today for the elders to celebrate."
Have a festive season."
"Hey, Da Zhi, could it be that you passed on all your skills to these two girls in your family?"
Nie Huaian said suspiciously with a smile on his face.
Chu Nanzhi nodded: "It's not a student's boast, my roommate has worked hard these past few months, and she can indeed cook a few special dishes."
"Then let's try it?"
Nie Huaian looked at Chang Yanjue.
"Well, try it."
Chang Yanjue nodded happily.
Nie Huaian looked at Chu Nanxiang happily and said with a humorous expression: "Second girl, if you can subdue us two old guys like your eldest sister today, then your Chu family's restaurant will be indispensable every day without us.
of."
"The little girl is naturally looking forward to it every day."
As soon as Chu Nanxiang finished speaking with a smile, Ji Huazhen scolded the two elders angrily: "You two old people, Nan Zhi and Er Yatou are here as guests today. You still want to order them, I can't
Can't agree."
"It doesn't matter what happens."
Chu Nanxiang waved his hand quickly.
Chu Nanzhi also said: "If my wife doesn't mind, let us sisters handle the family banquet today. My wife and my elders have been so kind to me and my husband. We have nothing to repay, so we can only cook a few whole dishes for us."
The two teachers are very happy."
"You girl really know how to talk."
Ji Huazhen developed a sincere love for these two sisters.
Although they are all girls from the countryside, they must be polite and sensible, and know how to comfort others. They are much more lovable than those so-called noble girls.
I don’t know who was talking nonsense in the past, saying that these daughters of the Chu family have no moral character.
She happily grabbed the two sisters: "If that's the case, then I will go to the kitchen to take care of it myself today, and work with the cooks to help your sisters, and by the way, let them all learn from Nan Zhi's cooking skills."
Ji Wanying watched with sadness in her heart. After all, she was considered the niece of this old couple and the apple of her mother's eye. They were much more considerate to the sister-in-law in front of them than they were to herself.
If I had known this, I might as well have gone to Tong'an Village with Tang Yuanxi or followed my cousin to Haining County to meet the famous cousin earlier.
But since she had come, she could not be at a disadvantage. She quickly stood up and volunteered: "Aunt, then I will go over and help."
"Oh, Wanying, you're just going to cause trouble."
Ji Huazhen waved her hand and said: "My aunt has cleaned up your room for you. You have been tired from traveling all the way. Go back to the house and rest first."
Originally he was concerned about her noble status and had pity for her, but it made Ji Wanying jealous.
She bowed to everyone in frustration, and then led the two maids straight out of the living room.
Ji Huazhen didn't notice anything strange, and she pulled Sister Chu Nanzhi carelessly to go out. Chang Yanjue quickly waved her hand: "Nan Zhi, please don't go now, let your wife and second girl take care of it, me and
Mr. Nie, I still have something to tell you."
Chu Nanzhi stopped, pursed her lips and looked at Ji Huazhen with a slight smile: "Teacher, please take your sister-in-law and go there first. I will go over to find you later."
After saying this, he warned Chu Nanxiang again, and then sat back in the hall, ready to listen to the teachings of the two elders.
Chang Yanjue asked the maid and Sang Qi to lead the four little treasures to the pavilion in the courtyard to eat cakes. When only two descendants, Yin Liuxuan and Chu Nanzhi, were left in the living room, he finally relaxed and spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
Things started to unfold:
"Nan Zhi, I heard that you and Dalang had a breakup a few days ago. What's going on?"
"It's just a little conflict that made the two elders worried."
Chu Nanzhi replied thoughtfully: "I mentioned this to my wife when I came in."
"That's good, that's good."
Chang Yanjue nodded happily: "Husband and wife should share weal and woe. You and Dalang have been in the same boat for so many years and it is really not a wise move to leave him now."
Nie Huai'an was still a little worried. After all, this girl was too smart. If she didn't ask clearly about the details, he wouldn't dare to mention many things to her.
In his opinion, the problem that could lead to He Li's troubles was probably his favorite protégé. After all, He Li Shu ultimately relied on Lin Jinxiao.
His eyes wandered back and forth between Chang Yanjue and Chu Nanzhi, master and apprentice, and he slowly asked: "Da Zhi, if you have any difficulties in your heart, you must tell me. Is it because of the girl Yan Ning or because of the girl Yan Ning?"
Is it because the Lin clan created a rift between you and your wife?"
