Chapter 379: The neglected princess
Chapter 379 The princess who was left out in the cold
"I said I shouldn't bring her to Luyan Port, and my cousin insisted."
Ji Wanying was a little dissatisfied and complained to Ji Cen'an: "Look at her arrogant and rude appearance, she is so disrespectful to Chang Lao and Nie Lao, it's really unlucky."
Ji Cen'an stared at the dark old faces at the door, and with a bitter face, he whispered to Ji Wanying, "How can you blame me? His father is a general who leads all kinds of soldiers from all over the country, and his mother is the queen mother's sister." , if Concubine Yue Guifei hadn't agreed, I wouldn't be willing to bring her here."
After finishing speaking, she hurried to comfort Chu Nanzhi: "Sister-in-law, don't be as knowledgeable as Princess Yuanxi, she was pampered by her father and brother since she was a child."
Chu Nanzhi also had a helpless wry smile.
She is too lazy to argue with these noble ladies in Beijing, wishing to stay away from them.
As long as she doesn't come to interfere with her clean life, she doesn't want to talk to her at all.
But suddenly thinking of what her teacher's mother Ji Huazhen said when she entered the door, coupled with what she saw, she gradually realized that the days to come would not be so simple.
Chang Yanjue knew that this girl might be full of confusion at this moment, so she glanced at Nie Huai'an and said to Ji Cen'an in a calm voice, "Cen'an, hurry up to Haining County and help Jin Xiao calm down. Bandits come back earlier, and save his lady from worrying all day long."
"Yes."
Ji Cen'an responded respectfully, and then looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much, my little brother will definitely bring Brother Jinxiao back safe and sound."
Chu Nanzhi listened, and then smiled with relief: "Then thank you, Commander."
Ji Cen'an didn't dare to delay any longer, bid farewell to everyone, strode out of Changfu, and hurried to the camp outside the city.
Watching Ji Cen'an leave, Chang Yanjue looked at his spooky female disciple with a smile, and asked in a teasing tone: "Now are you more at ease?"
With five thousand troops from the imperial court rushing to help, Chu Nanzhi was naturally relieved. Lin Jinxiao must be back soon.
She was happy from the bottom of her heart, nodded her head in high spirits, and immediately said to the elders: "Today, I wanted to take the two teachers to the humble house for a reunion, and cook some newly developed dishes to honor the elders. I never thought that the west of the city would be under martial law."
"If you have this kind of heart, I will be satisfied with you, Mr. Nie. Now you are the wife of the defense envoy. Soon"
At this point, Chang Yanjue suddenly stopped, and sighed meaningfully: "I am afraid that you, Mr. Nie, and I will not have such good luck in the future."
Nie Huai'an swallowed reminiscently, and pretended to be reserved: "Da Zhi, don't worry about these little things."
Chu Nanzhi heard the two people's tone quite sad, as if she intended to divide them, she hurriedly replied: "What are the two elders talking about, just now the teacher and mother said, one day is a teacher and a life is a father, I Even if you become the wife of an official family, you are still a disciple of the elders, and it is only natural to honor the elders."
Chu Nanxiang noticed that the second elder always felt that the elder sister's status had become more noble now, and he didn't want to bother her, so he took the initiative to ask Ying: "If the second elder and Aunt Ji don't give up, let the younger sister cook some side dishes for the elder sister today Happy Holidays."
"Hey, Da Zhi, could it be that you have passed on all your skills to your second girl?"
Nie Huai'an said suspiciously with a smile on his face.
Chu Nanzhi nodded: "It's not that the students are boasting, sister She has studied hard for the 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 Huai'an looked at Chu Nanxiang happily, and said jokingly: "Second girl, if you can tame us two old fellows like your eldest sister today, then your Chu family's restaurant will be indispensable every day in the future." of."
"The little girl is naturally looking forward to it every day."
As soon as Chu Nanxiang's smiling voice fell, Ji Huazhen reprimanded the second elder angrily: "You two old things, Nan Zhi and the second girl are here as guests at the house today, and you still want to make them go, I can't I can't agree."
"Maybe it's okay, let's do it."
Chu Nanxiang waved his hands quickly.
Chu Nanzhi also said: "If the teacher doesn't mind, let us sisters handle the family banquet today. The teacher and the elders have treated me and my humble husband with great kindness. We have nothing to repay, so we can cook a few whole dishes The two teachers are very happy."
"You girl can really talk."
Ji Huazhen sincerely liked the two sisters.
Although they are all girls from the countryside, they are polite and reasonable, and they know how to comfort others. They are much more lovable than those so-called noble girls.
I don't know who was gossiping in the past, saying that these daughters of the Chu family are of no character or virtue.
She pulled the two sisters happily: "Since that's the case, then I will go to the kitchen to cook in person today, and I will help your sisters with the cooks, and let them learn Nanzhi's cooking skills by the way."
Ji Wanying watched from the sidelines with a sore heart. Speaking of herself, she was the old couple's niece and mother's apple of the eye. They were much more affectionate to the sister-in-law in front of them than to themselves.
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 that famous cousin earlier.
But since she came, she will be safe, and she can't let her down. She quickly got up and volunteered: "Auntie, then I will go to help."
"Oh, Wanying, you're making more trouble than following along."
Ji Huazhen waved her hand and said: "Auntie cleaned up the room for you, you have been exhausted all the way, go back to the house to rest."
Originally, she was concerned about her noble status and felt pity for her, but Ji Wanying became jealous.
She bowed to everyone in dismay, and then led the two maids straight out of the living room.
Ji Huazhen didn't notice anything unusual, and carelessly pulled sister Chu Nanzhi to go out, Chang Yanjue quickly waved: "Nan Zhi, you don't want to go, let your teacher and the second girl take care of it, I and You, Mr. Nie, have something else to tell you."
Chu Nanzhi stopped in her tracks, pursed her lips and looked at Ji Huazhen with a slight smile: "Master, take your sister-in-law there first, and I'll go find you later."
After finishing speaking, he gave Chu Nanxiang another word of advice, and then sat back in the hall again, ready to listen to the teachings of the two elders.
Chang Yanjue ordered the maid and Sang Qi to lead the four little treasures to eat cakes in the gazebo in the courtyard, and waited until only Yin Liuxuan and Chu Nanzhi were left in the living room. The story begins:
"Nan Zhi, I heard that you had a fight with Da Lang a few days ago, what happened?"
"That is to say, there was a little conflict, which made the two elders worry."
Chu Nanzhi thought about it and replied: "I mentioned this matter to my teacher when I just entered the door."
"That's good, that's good."
Chang Yanjue nodded with satisfaction: "Husband and wife are supposed to share weal and woe. It is really not wise for you and Da Lang to help each other for so many years and leave him at this time."
Nie Huai'an still has some concerns in his heart, after all, this girl is too smart, if he doesn't ask her about the details, he won't dare to mention many things to her.
For him to be able to make peace with Li Shu, in his opinion, the problem may still come from his favorite student. After all, He Li Shu depends on Lin Jinxiao in the end.
His eyes wandered back and forth between Chang Yanjue and Chu Nanzhi's master and apprentice, and he asked slowly: "Da Zhi, if you have any difficulties in your heart, you must say it, is it because of the girl Yan Ning or something? Because the Lin clan caused a rift between you and your wife?"
