Chapter 121: Scruples
Hearing this, Old Lady Zhong glanced up at Zhong Liang, and then sighed.
"Grandma has not yet decided on this matter, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, and it is no good if you know more. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Liang was angry, and turned his head away to stop looking at Mrs. Zhong.
In Zhong Liang's opinion, Mrs. Zhong is old, and every prefect has begun to have scruples, and now she actually wants to let herself come to the door to apologize to He Jingjing, and He Jingjing refused.
How can I endure such a shame!
Just as Zhong Liang was brewing a plan to take revenge on He Jingjing, Old Lady Zhong spoke up again.
"I'm going to go to the palace, I don't think He Jingjing's matter is so simple. Old Lady Zhong continued: "During the days I left, you should rest and recuperate at home, don't go to He Jingjing for trouble, otherwise I'm afraid even I won't be able to help you then." ”
Zhong Liang still didn't pay attention to Mrs. Zhong's words.
What is He Jingjing's identity, Zhong Liang feels that he knows it very well. At the beginning, I just watched He Jingjing set up a stall in the countryside, and watched He Jingjing climb Ye Haixuan step by step and move to the city.
It can be said that He Jingjing's family history is indispensable to witness Zhong Liang.
Now that the emperor has ordered the confiscation of all He Jingjing's property, He Jingjing has nothing now, what can he fight with himself?
Behind him is just Ye Haixuan, a prefect.
The prefect is high and the emperor is far away, and if he wants to ask for help, he will inevitably have to toss. And Ye Haixuan himself didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Did you listen to what I said?" Old Lady Zhong saw Zhong Liang's eyes rolling and turning, knowing what the hell Zhong Liang was doing again, she asked again with great anxiety.
"Listen to it, grandma, you can go with confidence!" Zhong Liang suddenly said with a smile on his face to Mrs. Zhong.
What kind of person Zhong Liang is, Mrs. Zhong couldn't be clearer, so before leaving, Mrs. Zhong instructed her family that she must take care of the young master, and she must not take half a step out of Zhongfu.
After He Jingjing's property was confiscated, she stayed at home with peace of mind, studied the recipes every day, lived a leisurely life, and then made some pastries to sell on the street, and her life was still passable.
But He Jingjing's heart has always been relieved about the cooking competition.
According to the prefect, this cooking competition is a must-go for himself, and he must get a very good ranking, otherwise he will still die.
He Jingjing didn't dare to say these words to his family, lest the Zhao family, He Dayou, and He Xiaoxiao worry about it.
His two younger sisters are at the age of flowers, and they should have dressed up carefree and played on the street, but they were worried about their own affairs three times and twice.
He Jingjing didn't want something like that to happen again.
So in this cooking competition, He Jingjing was going to find an excuse to sneak out without telling her family.
"He Jingjing, are you at home?" He Jingjing was washing beans when she heard someone calling her name at the door.
"Who?" He Jingjing put down the work in her hand, and then came to the door to open the door.
"Ye Gongzi, why are you here?" He Jingjing felt a little strange when she saw that it was Ye Haixuan.
"It's not just him, I'm here too. He Jingjing opened the door wider, and the prefect stood behind Ye Haixuan.
"What day is it today, why are you here?" He Jingjing hurriedly greeted the smiling face and brought the two to the house.
"It's not time to eat yet, I'm preparing the dishes, you can have some fruit snacks first. He Jingjing hurriedly brewed a pot of chrysanthemum tea that she had sun-dried, and then served the pea yellow and mung bean cake she had made.
"What is this?" the prefect tasted the pea yellow, and his eyes lit up. This little thing that doesn't look good, the taste is so exquisite.
The rustling texture blooms in the mouth, and the sweetness is just right, which is very satisfying.
"It's called pea yellow, it's a kind of snack made with yellow peas, godfather, if you like it for a while, I'll decorate it for you when you leave. He Jingjing explained to the prefect with a smile.
"And mine?" Ye Haixuan was not happy when he heard it, He Jingjing deliberately left himself behind.
"You, forget it, you live so close to each other, you want to eat and buy it with money. He Jingjing scolded Ye Haixuan with a smile, and then left to continue washing vegetables.
"Jingjing, who came just now?" Zhao felt a little tired today, and after taking a nap for an afternoon, he heard someone knocking on the door in a daze.
"It's the prefect and Ye Gongzi who are here, and now they are sitting in the hall eating snacks. He Jingjing explained to Zhao.
Zhao also felt very strange in his heart, this is not a New Year's Day, how can a busy person like the prefect come?
But strange is strange, the prefect is now He Jingjing's life-saving benefactor, and the Zhao family is still very happy about their arrival, and hurriedly followed He Jingjing to wash the vegetables together.
He Jingjing originally only planned to fry two dishes today and then make a soup, but when the prefect came, He Jingjing killed a chicken and made it into Fuliji roast chicken.
"This roast chicken is so delicious, it's definitely the best I've ever tasted!" the prefect sighed after eating a piece of chicken.
He Jingjing smiled and said nothing, hearing that her daughter's craftsmanship was praised by the prefect, Zhao and He Dayou also pursed their lips and smiled.
"I think with your craftsmanship, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the imperial dining room, so I'm relieved. As soon as the prefect's words came out, except for Ye Haixuan and the prefect, everyone's faces changed.
Zhao and He Dayou even hung their chopsticks and suddenly lost their appetite for eating.
"What imperial dining room did you just say?" Zhao asked the prefect in a trembling voice.
"Didn't Jingjing tell you?" The prefect was a little surprised by the attitude of the He family, and then looked at He Jingjing, who was frowning and embarrassed, and suddenly understood.
Feelings: He Jingjing, this has not been explained to the family.
The prefect knew that He Jingjing was a person with ideas, and he didn't tell his family that he was afraid that his family would worry, so the prefect kept a part of it, and told He Jingjing about participating in the cooking competition, and the part that the emperor did not completely pardon was retained.
"In other words, His Majesty the Emperor asked Jingjing to participate in this competition by name?" Zhao asked in a trembling voice again.
"Yes, that's a great grace. "The prefect is a little strange, this is a great thing in the eyes of others, why is the attitude of the He family so strange.
Also feeling strange were He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan.
"Jingjing, I don't agree with you going to the game. Zhao's attitude suddenly became very resolute and said to He Jingjing.
