Chapter 242: Three Birds with One Stone
He Jingjing hadn't eaten Zhao's cooking for a long time.
A few days after I walked through by myself, I was in charge of cooking at home.
Although the food cooked by the Zhao family is not bad, it is much better than that in the barracks, but it is still a little unsightly in front of He Jingjing, who is used to eating his own craft.
Now when he heard that the Zhao family was going to cook for him, He Jingjing was still happy in his heart.
The love of his father and mother that He Jingjing did not feel in this life was made up for in the body of the He family's father and mother.
I haven't eaten Zhao's food for a long time, and I still miss it very much.
Sometimes, human feelings are as simple as that.
What is the taste of home? Mother's food, father's dry tobacco, although the taste may not be good, but the familiar taste can suddenly pull you back to that simple era.
How enjoyable it is for yourself not to get involved in these disputes in the imperial court!
"Got it, I'll go prepare food for my mother later that night. He Jingjing nodded.
"You don't need to prepare the food, I'll just go with Huahua. You have a good talk to Mrs. Zhong here. He Xiaoxiao hurriedly said to He Jingjing.
Now He Jingjing is under house arrest in the prefect's yamen, although she eats and drinks well every day, and her life is very leisurely.
But he is still "in prison", which sounds uncomfortable, and He Xiaoxiao also feels that he has grown up and can't let He Jingjing worry anymore.
I should also share some of these chores at home.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good meal today. ”
After casually talking to He Jingjing about some things, He Xiaoxiao left.
In He Xiaoxiao's opinion, talking with the old witch of the Zhong family, her eldest sister must be unwilling in her heart.
If it is really allowed to let Mrs. Zhong stay in front of the eldest sister for so long, the eldest sister must be very irritable, and it will not be good if she is calculated by the scheming old woman again.
So He Xiaoxiao felt that she should say a few more words to her eldest sister, so that her eldest sister felt that she was not fighting alone.
Looking at He Xiaoxiao's departing back, the corners of He Jingjing's mouth were dyed with a happy smile.
No matter how dark the front is, there are still people who love you!
"Old lady, you can also taste the green plum soup at home, you can't just eat your lotus crisp. With that, He Jingjing got up, took a teacup, and poured a cup of green plum soup that He Xiaoxiao had just sent to Mrs. Zhong.
"My old lady won't drink it, this soup is specially sent to the county lord. ”
Why couldn't Mrs. Zhong hear the meaning of He Xiaoxiao's words just now?
However, Mrs. Zhong can also understand, after all, no one is born into a wealthy family.
After becoming the teaching and learning grandmother of Concubine Yan, the Zhong family gradually developed, and in the early years, I also saw a lot of warmth and coldness.
Mrs. Zhong felt that He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao's position was not wrong, what was wrong was their life experience and the way of the world.
Who isn't planning for the future of their own family?
"Since the old lady doesn't drink it, then I'll drink it myself. He Jingjing also understood what Mrs. Zhong meant.
Just now, He Xiaoxiao was clearly targeting Mrs. Zhong, but now that she cares about Mrs. Zhong, she can be regarded as respecting Mrs. Zhong and giving her a step down.
He Jingjing drank the green plum soup under the gaze of Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhong had no intention of speaking.
He Jingjing also knew that whoever spoke first at this time would lose.
The two of them just sat and drank tea, and neither of them was willing to be left behind.
Mrs. Zhong didn't realize one thing, from the moment she took the initiative to come to He Jingjing, the active and passive position in the conversation was already doomed.
He Jingjing has her own arrangements, so she doesn't necessarily need Mrs. Zhong's help, so she naturally sits still.
After a long time, Mrs. Zhong finally spoke.
"It's not a secret, Concubine Yan can know the life experience of the county lord, and deal with the county lord, and I have a reason. ”
He Jingjing's hand holding the teacup froze.
Is this old lady Zhong still an Infernal Affairs?
"What do you mean?" He Jingjing looked at Old Lady Zhong's eyes with a little more guard.
Mrs. Zhong smiled bitterly and told about this incident.
It turned out that when Mrs. Zhong first found out that He Jingjing was likely to be the orphan of the prince of the previous dynasty, she connived at Zhong Liang to deal with He Jingjing.
At that time, in Mrs. Zhong's opinion, He Jingjing, a powerless and powerless rural village girl, wanted to kill a very simple matter.
However, Zhong Liang didn't want to kill He Jingjing at that time, he just wanted to teach her a lesson, and then Ye Haixuan continued to help He Jingjing, and invited the prefect to support him three times and twice.
Later, Mrs. Zhong learned that the prefect and He Jingjing had known each other for a long time, and even accepted He Jingjing as her goddaughter.
Mrs. Zhong finally couldn't sit still, and took Zhong Liang to apologize to He Jingjing, but unfortunately He Jingjing couldn't swallow this breath, because the person sent by Zhong Liang really hurt the family.
did not accept Mrs. Zhong's apology, and Mrs. Zhong was afraid that He Jingjing would retaliate against Zhong Liang in the future, so she entered the capital overnight.
"So I was the one you told Concubine Yan?" He Jingjing said as she looked at Old Lady Zhong.
No wonder Concubine Yan knew her identity in advance in the palace, and there were so many moths along the way, this old lady Zhong really made a great contribution.
"After I saw that it was impossible to get rid of you, I immediately went to Beijing to report this matter to Concubine Yan Niangniang and persuaded her to deal with you. ”
"Persuasion?"
What does this mean is that Concubine Yan didn't plan to deal with her uncertain identity?
He Jingjing looked at Mrs. Zhong's eyes became sharper and sharper, this Mrs. Zhong is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"There is no way to do it, I also have to plan for the future of the Zhong family, and I hope that the county lord Haihan. Mrs. Zhong sincerely apologized to He Jingjing.
"Haihan?" He Jingjing felt a little funny.
Do these long-term high-ranking people have this stinky problem, and if they slap and give a date, they feel that others will not be guilty of the past?
"Old lady, with all due respect, what is your reason and position for continuing to sit down here?" He Jingjing said unceremoniously to Mrs. Zhong.
Although Mrs. Zhong has cultivated very thickly, this matter is still because of her, and now she betrayed Concubine Yan to make a living for herself, and this matter itself is already looked down upon.
"The old man has realized how foolish his ideas were, and this time I came with full sincerity to explain the situation to the county lord. ”
He Jingjing felt that she wanted to laugh, and with full sincerity, she kept playing psychological warfare with herself, she was really not afraid of this?
