Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 771: Food and remedies

It can be seen that what Jiang said is true.

The carriage had just stopped at the gate of Duke Ning's Mansion, and before the curtains could be opened, a woman's voice came from far and near, and she could hear the urgency, "You're finally back! I'm almost dying of anxiety, please wait and see. No matter how long I wait, I don’t see the answer. I’m afraid that my mother is looking for someone. You also know that I am a round person who can’t lie. But what will happen if the secret is revealed..."

The car curtain was opened, and the light and clean light after the rain hit the eyelids. The sound outside the car door suddenly stopped. The dumbfounded second lady, who had the curtain pulled open, looked at the man in the carriage who smiled and nodded at her, and was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly took a deep breath and looked at the sky and the ground but not at the inside of the car. After a while, he yelled at the driver in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me that Ji Wuyan was here?"

Ji Wuyan touched his nose and said nothing. On the side, Mrs. Jiang also clenched the oil paper bag tightly unnaturally. The coachman who was scolded defended in a low voice, "I want to say it, but you didn't give me this time..." He rushed over at such a speed that no one else would have had time to tell you!

After the second lady hurriedly spoke, she suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to address the other party by her first and last name. At this moment, she could only smile and say hello to Gu Zuojie, "Ha! No salt! Why don't you say anything when you come to eat?" , I didn’t prepare in advance... I’m so embarrassed!” After saying that, he touched his nose and earlobes, and then he hurriedly stepped back to give up his position as if he suddenly realized something, and greeted warmly, “Come on, come on down. !”

It's just that his expression is still unnatural, and it's a bit like trying to make up for the situation after a desperate situation.

It can be seen that the second lady in front is indeed a person who can't lie better than herself. Ji Wuyan raised his eyebrows and smiled. He got up and got out of the car, explaining with a smile, "I met Sister Jiang in the restaurant, so I licked my face and came over to eat... I eat less, so there is no need to prepare it for me." After saying that, he smiled, his smile was quite meaningful, and he already understood in his heart - he needed to go out without telling Aunt Ning, and it was at this time, probably for some home remedies for seeking a child, just now The so-called "old friend" Yue Mo was recommended by the second lady.

Such a profound expression made the second lady at a loss. She frequently turned to Mrs. Jiang for help with her eyes, and conveyed the message with winks: You should say something! What to do now? Why does this little girl look like she knows something? It is always hard to talk about finding a remedy for a child, no matter whether it succeeds or not. Farewell is to a girl who has not yet left the court...

Ms. Jiang was also helpless, as the second child was indeed not very smart at times. At this moment, Ji Wuyan didn't say anything, but she looked like she had a guilty conscience. Pian Ji Wuyan is also a ghostly spirit, very smart and astute, and the second child is as transparent to her, and a single look in her eyes can reveal too many thoughts and secrets. She turned around and ordered the maid behind her to run to the old lady's yard. She patted Ji Wuyan's shoulder and led him inside, "Hurry in, don't stand outside and say hello, it's very cold. It's still early, let's get some food." I have enough time to add some dishes to the room, so I can ask someone to go over and tell my mother that she has been thinking about you these past two days. She said that she didn’t see you when she went to Ji’s house to meet the elders of Ji’s family that day. She heard that you were busy, so she I always feel distressed.”

Ji Wuyan knew what happened that day. At that time, he spent the whole night interrogating the fifth elder. He didn't go to bed until dawn, and slept until lunch time before getting up. Afterwards, he heard that Aunt Ning was coming. Naturally, he didn't See. She had been sleeping in bed all morning, but in the other person's impression, she was a busy person who had to go out before dawn and didn't return home until night... No matter how thick-skinned Ji Wuyan was, she still couldn't bear it. He snorted and smiled, saying, "I'm not busy, I'm just sorry I missed it."

Although it is true, it sounds more like humility with a sense of distance.

The second lady also echoed, "Yes! We were still talking about this at dinner last night. Mother said that my brother-in-law has been taking care of His Majesty in the palace recently and he leaves early and comes home late. Otherwise, I can call you. Let's come back together to have a meal and talk. Mother will definitely be very happy to see you today... Let's go, let's go, it's still a while before dinner, how about... I'll go to mother's place later, let's go first In my courtyard? I have milk today. I saw you like to drink it last time. How about you come and sit in my place?" Ji Wuyan naturally would not refuse, and happily accepted it and followed the second lady there.

Mrs. Jiang thought for a while and followed her. She only asked the maid next to the second lady to take the oil paper bag she brought back to her room. The maid was a confidant of the second lady, so she naturally knew more. She pursed her lips and nodded. After saying yes, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, madam," and left quickly holding the oil paper bag.

In front, the Second Madam held Ji Wuyan's arm and was chatting about household matters, "My brother-in-law didn't come back for dinner yesterday. You are here today. I think he will come back."

"I didn't tell him..." Ji Wuyan lowered his head and kicked the pebbles, smiling carelessly, "It turned out that he went out on the spur of the moment, and he followed Sister Jiang by chance."

Mrs. Jiang also laughed when she heard this, "You didn't even know that she actually went to that restaurant to eat, and the food had already been ordered. Fortunately, I stopped her in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been eaten by those unpalatable dishes like you. Defrauded dozens of dollars of money?"

"Ah?" The second lady was also surprised, "You have been in Yanjing City for so many months, and you don't even know about that restaurant that is famous for being terrible and expensive?"

"Hmm...I really don't know." Ji Wuyan smiled good-naturedly, "Before, if I went out on the street, most of them would go to Fengchenju to eat at home, or follow Luo Xin, so I don't need to choose a restaurant by myself...Today It’s rare, so I went in because there were so many people.” Because I felt guilty for lying, I even subconsciously picked a restaurant I had never been to before, instead of thinking about it, I found the worst one.

Hearing this, the second lady burst into laughter and said that she had been deceived in this way before. She said with relief, "Fortunately, it's fate. It happened that my mother was talking about you, so you came... If you have time in the future, you can also Don’t go to that Laoshizi restaurant, come to our house to eat!”

Mrs. Jiang also said that this is very good, "Even if my family is having a meal together, we won't be polite to you, so don't be polite. If you want to eat, you can come directly. You don't have to ask the maid to make an extra trip, and we won't even bother you." These few mouthfuls of rice are not enough...it’s just a matter of extra pairs of chopsticks.”

Ji Wuyan naturally nodded his head in approval and smiled in a gentle and well-behaved way.
