Chapter 167 Keep Your Distance
After recognizing their relatives, the two sat down and began to chat.

Qian Hongxian talked about the old lady wanting to take back her right to cook, and then talked about Ji Nanjin asking her to cook instead of Zhang Guanshi. Zhang Guanshi thought for a while and said: "My son is doing this to protect you, so you should obey first." According to his arrangement, during this time, I can cook for the prince with peace of mind."

Qian Hongxian frowned, and said reluctantly, "What about the adoptive father?" If she really went to cook for Ji Nanjin, wouldn't it appear that she had ulterior motives for recognizing Zhang Guanshi?It was as if she was taking advantage of her by identifying her relatives. Qian Hongxian didn't want others to think so, let alone Guanshi Zhang misunderstood her because of this.After thinking for a while, he said, "Otherwise I will go to beg the prince, or you will continue to be in charge of the prince's meals, and I will help you from the side, and we will cook for the prince together, so no one will say anything?"

Guanshi Zhang naturally understood what she meant, and also knew her concerns. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about the foster father, the foster father is fine. You can just cook for the eldest son with peace of mind. The foster father also happened to take advantage of this It's time to take a rest. And the death day of your adoptive mother is coming soon, so the adoptive father can go back to pay respects to them."

Qian Hongxian knew that the other party said this to comfort him, and was moved in his heart, and now he was more determined to return the job of cooking for Ji Nanjin to the other party, but he was not in a hurry to tell the other party, so he changed the topic and said : "When does foster father plan to return to his hometown? At that time, Hongxian will go with you to burn incense and kowtow to foster mother, so that she will know that Hongxian will take care of you in the future, and she will feel at ease down here."

Zhang Guanshi felt relieved, smiled at her and said: "There is no rush to kowtow to your adoptive mother. There will be more opportunities in the future. The most urgent thing is to take good care of the meal of the prince. Among those people, the prince Dudu picked you, it shows that the prince still values ​​you very much, you must not let the prince down."

Qian Hongxian nodded, still wanting to fight for it again: "I know. But the purpose of the prince's bringing me back is to cook for the old lady. Now that the old lady's body is recovering well, it's useless for me to stay in the mansion What's more. Besides, it doesn't take much time to go to offer incense to the step-mother, at worst, wait until you come back and continue to serve the son's meal."

But Guanshi Zhang frowned, looked at Qian Hongxian with a faint worry and said: "Cooking for the old lady is only one aspect, I always feel that the son has other purposes for going to Linxiang City to choose a cook this time."

Qian Hongxian also felt that it was a bit unreasonable for the other party to go all the way to choose a cook, but during this period of time, she didn't find anything wrong except asking her to cook for the old lady, so she gradually stopped thinking about it. this matter.Hearing Guanshi Zhang's words now, he couldn't help becoming nervous and said, "Uh? What's the purpose?"

"I don't know about that either." Guanshi Zhang shook his head and said, "Anyway, you should be more careful when you stay in the mansion in the future, and be more careful. But the prince should not harm you."

Qian Hongxian twitched her lips, thinking it was hard to say this.After all, the person who brought her back was Ji Nanjin, and if she really wanted to use her for something, it would undoubtedly be the other party.

But what would you use her for?In addition to her cooking skills, she also knows a little bit of medical skills. Before she came to the capital, the other party probably didn't know about her medical skills.

That can only be aimed at her cooking skills.

But what can this do?

Seeing her appearance, Guanshi Zhang couldn't help but said: "Don't think too much, maybe it's just my own guesswork. Maybe the son is really just for the old lady."

Since it is possible, it means that there are still other possibilities.

Qian Hongxian couldn't think of anything at once, but felt a little uneasy for no reason.

At this time, I couldn't help thinking of some things that I hadn't figured out before, so I asked Zhang Guanshi: "I heard from the prince before that it was because the old lady had a poor appetite and missed the dishes of Linxiang City, so she ran to Linxiang City came to choose the cook for the old lady. But, isn’t the old lady a princess? Isn’t the princess supposed to grow up in the capital, so why would she miss the dishes of Linxiang City? Also, what about the Ji Mansion in Linxiang City? The same thing?" This question has been on her mind for a long time, but she has never been able to find anyone to ask it, and now there is finally someone who can answer it for her.

Zhang Guanshi explained: "The old lady married out. The ancestral home of Mrs. Ji was in Linxiang City. She lived there for a long time. Later, King An became an official, made many military exploits, and was awarded the title of knight. I moved back to the capital city. Moreover, I heard that the old lady was in poor health since she was a child, and she spent a long time in Linxiang City to recuperate before she was taken back to the capital city. She and Mrs. Ji met at that time, and they can be regarded as Childhood sweetheart. However, Mrs. Ji died early, and it is not easy for the old lady to take care of the prince alone. I heard that she once swore before the Lord Buddha that as long as the prince can grow up safely and make a difference, she is willing to eat vegetarian food for the rest of her life to fulfill her vow .”

"So that's how it is." At this moment, Qian Hongxian still admired the other party.In this day and age, it is really not easy for a woman to raise a child alone.Although the other party is a princess, she married out and doesn't even have a mansion of her own, which shows that she is not very favored.

What's more, since the husband died early, life must be very difficult in the in-law's house.

However, it also reflects from the side that the old lady is not simple.

She raised such an excellent son as Wang An by herself, and sent her only son to the battlefield with her own hands. This kind of will and heart are beyond the reach of many women.

It's no wonder that she was just walking with Ji Nanjin, and the other party could withdraw her right to cook without a sound.

This method, as well as insight and courage, Qian Hongxian had to say a word of admiration.At the same time, I also made up my mind that I must be more careful when facing the old lady in the future, and never hang around in front of the old lady unless necessary.In order not to accidentally offend the other party again, and end up not even knowing how he died.

Of course, keep a distance from Ji Nanjin.She hadn't forgotten that it all started because of the other party.
