Chapter 182 This is not giving me face
Almost all posts sent out received feedback.

Sure enough, if you add the words "Ye Taifu", no one will deny you face.

The couple were very happy, Chu Baikui smiled broadly, and Zhao Yuan also beamed with joy, and then she said casually: "Master Marquis, what if Chu Nanning doesn't agree?"

Chu Baikui's expression became cold: "I will handle it!"

He went to Fushou Hall to see the old lady.

The old lady was expressionless at his arrival.

Chu Baikui saluted with a smile on his face and said: "Greetings to mother! How is mother?"

The old lady looked at the sun outside.

Chu Baikui understood that this meant that since dawn and dusk were the time of reckoning, it should not be this time.

He didn't care and said with a smile: "Mother, our Anyuan Hou Mansion is becoming less and less famous in the capital. My son has been deeply reflecting on this during this period, and then he understood a truth."

The old lady looked at him and said nothing.

But Chu Baikui was thick-skinned, so he directly continued the conversation: "That's because our Hou Mansion is too low-key. You see, we have hardly held any banquets in so many years."

"It was also at Nan Ning's return banquet, when he saw the crowd of guests, that my son understood a truth. In fact, in the eyes of the nobles and nobles in the capital, our Anyuan Hou Mansion is not bad at all, otherwise, it would not be the same at that time. There will be so many guests coming, don’t you think?”

The old lady sneered, why were so many guests coming at that time? Was it because of the Anyuan Hou Mansion?Is it because Nan Ning is good?Because Nan Ning is the niece recognized and valued by Taifu Ye and his wife, and because of Nan Ning's own connections, the people from Prince Chi and the Duke of Wei all came here because of Nan Ning.

Really put gold on your face.

Chu Baikui didn't care about the old lady's face and eyes, and continued: "So, it is wrong for our Hou Mansion to be so low-key for so many years. In two days, Yuanyuan is going to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Although it is a small one this time, The banquet is also attended by young people, but it is necessary for Xiong Fei to make more friends with Nan Ning and Yun'er! Mother, what do you think?"

"I've never had any control over the affairs of the house. It's fine as long as you think so. Why do you need to ask my opinion?"

Chu Baikui smiled broadly: "If mother doesn't object, can mother attend the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet the day after tomorrow?"

"Didn't you say that all the people you invited were young people?"

"Young people should also be polite. Mother, you are of higher rank. If you come forward, they will respect you!"

"No need!" the old lady said calmly: "I have made an appointment to go to Nanshan Temple to offer incense the day after tomorrow!"

Chu Baikui said with a pity on his face: "Really? That's a coincidence. I also wanted to tell my mother right away that I wanted her to have fun with everyone that day. I didn't expect that my mother had already made arrangements!"

The old lady didn't answer.

Chu Baikui continued: "The mother goes to worship the Buddha alone, and the son is worried. Originally, the mother should accompany the Buddha when she worships the Buddha, but the banquet has been decided, and the son cannot leave. Well, you and Nan Ning can chat, why not Will Nan Ning accompany you the day after tomorrow?"

The old lady felt like she had a mirror in her mind. She glanced over and said, "Isn't it a banquet? Isn't it a way for young people to make more friends together? Nan Ning has just arrived in the capital, doesn't he need it more?"

"Making friends is important, but filial piety is also important. Mother, how can your son feel at ease when you go to worship Buddha alone? If your son lets Yuanyuan and Yun'er accompany you, you will probably not be happy with it, so you have to let Nan Ning go. But mother can also feel at ease. , In the future, the Anyuan Hou Mansion will try to hold a banquet every one or two months, so that Nan Ning will have many opportunities to make friends, so there is no need to rush at this moment!"

The old lady looked at him without speaking.

Chu Baikui was able to withstand the scrutinizing gaze all the time. He was also very shameless.

The old lady said: "Okay!"

Chu Baikui smiled and said: "Then it's settled, I'll go tell Nan Ning!"

Looking at his hurried away figure, the old lady's eyes were filled with coldness. Aunt Yu also shook her head: "Old madam, you and the eldest lady have already made an appointment to go to Nanshan Temple the day after tomorrow. If he wants to do nothing, the eldest lady will also I won’t stay, yet I still behave like this.”

The old lady sneered: "He has always used any means to achieve his goals and is good at disguising. No matter what he does, it is not surprising."

As expected, Chu Baikui went to find Chu Nanning, but Chu Nanning was not in Mingxia Garden, which made Chu Baikui grit his teeth with anger. This wild girl would be homeless from time to time, if not for the sake of Taifu Ye. , he would have beaten her to death long ago if she had such a daughter who did not follow her nurturing rules.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Chu Nanning was worried that Mrs. Pei would live alone. She was old and had suffered a lot. She was afraid that she would not be healthy, so she returned to Jinkuifang. Every few days, she They will all keep safe for Mrs. Pei.

This time, she brought a lot of medicinal materials suitable for warming and tonic. These are not to be eaten directly, but must be added to the meal to make a medicinal diet.

Mrs. Pei has been in a very complicated mood these past two days.

So much so that when I saw Chu Nanning, I felt a little guilty.

Chu Nanning handed the medicinal materials to Ziye, along with a piece of paper full of words, which was the medicinal diet list for this month.

Medicinal food does not need to be eaten every day, only once every two or three days, but you must be careful when cooking it.

There are only a few people in Mallow Square, and there is only one kitchen. Ziye knows cooking skills, is literate, and is careful in doing things. This is the person Chu Nanning specially picked.

The old lady said: "Ning'er, my body and bones are very good, why do I need to do these things? It's so troublesome!"

Chu Nanning smiled and said: "It's not troublesome. The weather is getting colder and colder. In another month, it might snow. Taking supplements in autumn and winter is also a way to maintain health. Don't be careless! Besides, what can these purple leaves do? Very good, grandma, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

Today, Chu Nanning cooked the food herself and said she would make her grandmother's favorite dishes.

Looking at her figure in the kitchen, Mrs. Pei sighed in her heart again.

what a boy.

Ting'an is also a good boy.

Now that Ting'an's identity is different, if Ting'an is really serious and can make Ning'er happy with him, everyone will be happy. But she also knows a little bit about Ning'er's temperament. In her heart, this child has ignored Ting'an's behavior in recent years. Asking, there must be resentment in his heart.

These can only be solved by themselves.

Butler Jiang Song came quickly.

He saluted and said, "Old madam, Mr. Jing is here!"

Shang Jingyu would come over every other day. He was unassuming and polite, and the servants in the house also liked him very much.

The old lady's expression froze.

Thinking back to a few days ago, she had indeed wanted to see if he and Ning'er were destined to be together, but since Ting'an was fine, she couldn't think so.Regardless of whether Ting'an and Ning'er can resolve their knot in the end, at this juncture, there can't be one more person who can cause trouble.

She said: "Please come in!"

Shang Jingyu, who was tall and elegant, appeared in the courtyard gracefully. He bowed to the old lady and asked: "Old man, your complexion is a little bad today, but are you feeling unwell?"

The old lady's complexion was not bad, but what was bad was her mood.

She smiled and said: "As I get older, I will inevitably have some headaches and fever, but it doesn't matter."

Jiang Yu hurriedly handed over the gift bag in his hand.

"What gifts do you bring every time you come here? It's too expensive for this kid!" "It's just some snacks, not worth mentioning!"

After Shang Jingyu finished speaking, he suddenly smelled a fragrance. He was slightly surprised: "What's so fragrant?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Ning'er is in the kitchen. I don't know what she is cooking. The aroma is wafting far away!" She smelled it several times just now.

Shang Jingyu said: "Is Miss Ning here too?"

The old lady's smile faded a bit and she said, "Well, this child is filial and came to see me!"

Shang Jingyu was keenly aware of the slightly complicated look in the old lady's eyes. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Was it his imagination or something?The old lady looked at him as if she were looking at her grandson-in-law before, but why does she look at him so distantly today?Is it like looking at a nephew?

Before he could figure it out, Chu Nanning had already come out of the kitchen.

Seeing Shang Jingyu, she was also startled: "Are you here too?"

"The old man and I are very destined. Spring is still early, and I don't like to drink and have fun with others, so I came to see the old man!" Shang Jingyu answered very naturally.

Chu Nanning: "..."

It was really hard for her to accept such lies when she was so calm and composed.

The old lady didn't know, so she answered naturally: "Spring is approaching, so we still have to study with peace of mind and strive for a title on the gold list!"

Shang Jingyu said: "What the old man said is that ten years of hard work are just for Chunwei's instant fame!"

The old lady was optimistic and said: "You kid looks like a learned man when it comes to your conversation. You will definitely become famous in one day!"

Chu Nanning turned her head, lowered the corners of her curled lips, and said, "The dishes are ready. Fortunately, we have cooked a lot today. Even Mr. Jing will have enough to eat!"

The old lady: "..."

She didn't want to keep Mr. Jing for dinner today.

But I also thought that Mr. Jing was also a good boy, and he came with gifts. It would be rude if he didn't even leave any real food.

Shang Jingyu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect to have such a good reputation today, but I'm sorry to bother you!"

Chu Nanning was free and easy, and her soul came from the later generations. She didn't care about eating at the same table.

With an elder like the old lady here, even if Shang Jingyu is a young man, it is not considered rude.

On the table, there are seven dishes and one soup, all delicious and fragrant.

Shang Jingyu's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that Chu Nanning's personal cooking would be so rich in content.

When he started to move his chopsticks, he was even more surprised.

It's not that he hasn't eaten good food, on the contrary, he has eaten too much, delicacies from mountains and seas, exquisite royal dishes, and he never gets tired of fine food and fine food.What's more, because of his experience with Qianfan, his tongue is very sharp.

As soon as the chopsticks entered his mouth, he was amazed.

With the same ingredients, her cooking was no worse than that of the imperial chef, and even tasted a bit more delicious. This cooking skill was amazing!
But as far as he knew, his niece was also very capable in business, and she seemed to have medical skills.He also... also knows martial arts. He will never forget the scene that day in that dark alley where several gangsters were piled into a pile.

Therefore, this little niece is not simple!

His chopsticks couldn't help but speed up.

After eating several chopsticks in a row, his mouth was slightly bulging after eating. When he looked up and saw the old lady's slightly surprised eyes, he realized that he seemed to have grabbed it a little too much?

He swallowed the food in his mouth and said with emotion: "I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. Over the years, I have been diligent in reading and studying, so that I don't know the taste of food. Today it seems that my sense of taste has awakened. Miss Ning's The cooking skills are amazing!”

As he said that, he put down his chopsticks and held his hand to Chu Nanning!

Although she knew he was joking, Chu Nanning still turned sideways.

The old lady felt very distressed when she heard this.

Studying is also very hard. Look, how serious you must be when studying until you don’t know how to eat. No wonder you won the exam. No wonder you came to the capital with confidence to prepare for the Spring Festival!
She took a chopstick of fish meat into Shang Jing's bowl with serving chopsticks and said kindly: "You are a good boy who is eager to learn and make progress. Ning'er's cooking is delicious, but she is busy, so I don't eat it often. You are also today It’s a treat, come on, eat more, you’re welcome!”

"Thank you, old man!" Shang Jingyu smiled warmly and said, "Thank you, Miss Ning!"

Chu Nanning: "..."

This man was addicted to acting, and there was an imperial chef cooking in the palace. He praised the few home-cooked dishes he made, and he was so absorbed in eating that he acted out his status as a civil servant who came to Beijing to take the exam.

But wouldn’t his conscience be disturbed if he deceived his grandmother like this?
Chu Nanning rolled her eyes at Shang Jingyu where the old lady didn't see him.

After receiving her eye roll, Shang Jingyu just smiled and continued eating quickly and gracefully.

After the meal, he said goodbye in a sensible manner.

During today's trip, I unexpectedly got to be a gourmet and made a lot of money.However, the old man's attitude changed slightly. Maybe it was because he came too often, or something else happened. If he stayed, it would be annoying, so of course he just wiped his mouth and left.

This time, the old lady did not ask Chu Nanning to see him off, but asked Jiang Song to see him off.

After walking out of the door, Shang Jingyu looked at Jiang Yu: "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Yu was puzzled: "Master, if you are given a meal, of course your subordinates will also have a bite to eat!"

Shang Jingyu said: "What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Yu was even more surprised that his master still cared about what he was eating?He wrenched his fingers: "Hot kidneys, live fish fillets, tofu and jerky..."

He said five things in one breath, and then he saw the smile on his master's face getting stronger.

Shang Jingyu said: "What you eat is not as good as what I eat!"

Jiang Yu was confused: "You are the master. Isn't it normal for them to entertain guests and eat better?"

Not only did the food taste better, but it was also cooked by my niece, which was even more delicious than what the imperial chef made.

Jiang Yu was keenly aware of his master's intention to show off. He couldn't help but curl his lips. Today's master was a little childish.Could it be that by pretending to be a scholar going to Beijing to take the exam, the master will act like an ordinary scholar who has never seen the world?
Shang Jingyu didn't know what Jiang Yu was complaining about in his heart. He got on the carriage and asked Jiang Yu: "What happened in the past two days?"

"No!" Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, "One thing is true. The Anyuan Marquis Mansion is holding a banquet again. You said it's already winter, but what they are hosting is a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. The chrysanthemums now... How many varieties are left?”

"Chrysanthemum appreciation feast, why didn't I hear about it?"

"In a small area, it seems that not many people have been invited. There are almost no people with your status, Master. The one with the highest status may be General Xia!"

"You have invited Xia Chixiao but not me? This is not giving me face! Jiang Yu, get a post for me!"
