Chapter 234: Old Lady Zhong's Request

"Old Madam Zhong, what does this mean?" He Jingjing was a little incomprehensible.

When Mrs. Zhong came to her house to apologize to herself, she brought a lot of servants, why did she come over for a tea today and let them all step down?

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this old lady's gourd.

After those people left, Mrs. Zhong's face became a little unsightly.

"I found the county lord so abruptly, and the old body will accompany you. "Mrs. Zhong's attitude makes people can't fault it, and she can't say anything to blame.

"The old lady is serious, and it is natural for the younger generation to come to visit the seniors. He Jingjing's face did not fall at all.

I've been here for so long, and I've seen a lot of bends in officialdom, He Jingjing feels that courtesy and mutual respect are very important survival rules.

And thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, this is vividly reflected in He Jingjing.

Although He Jingjing's status is suddenly higher than that of Mrs. Zhong now, no one can say for sure that in the next second, the old lady will move out again, and a relative who will not be able to do anything will press He Jingjing.

He Jingjing felt that it was necessary to abide by the following of these potential rules of interaction.

"These are the pastries that Concubine Yan brought over from the palace for the old man to eat, I don't know if they meet the appetite of the county lord. Mrs. Zhong pointed to the delicately shaped pastries on the table and said to He Jingjing.

He Jingjing took a piece of three fresh lotus cakes and put them in her mouth, it was crispy!

Even if the shape is good-looking, just take a bite and drop the slag, there are several layers inside, the outside is crispy and the inside is very chewy, and the layer on the surface is also caramelized, what kind of fairy delicacy is this!

Chinese pastry is really broad and profound, He Jingjing is good at cooking, and her research on pastry is not as detailed as the dishes.

This level of pastry He Jingjing still can't make it to herself.

It seems that I will strengthen the practice of this pastry in the future!

"How?" Seeing He Jingjing take one bite after another, Mrs. Zhong asked He Jingjing with a smile.

"Very tasty. "He Jingjing didn't eat at noon, she was hungry in her stomach, this lotus crisp is not greasy and full, and the taste is very good, He Jingjing is very satisfied.

"It's good that the county lord likes it, there are a lot of old people here, and it's a waste if you can't finish eating, and I will ask the county lord to bring some back to the family to taste after a while." ”

Seeing that He Jingjing really liked it, Mrs. Zhong was also very happy. After all, this time I invited He Jingjing to come to the house to talk, and if she didn't make her happy to eat, it would be too much of a failure.

"After eating this pastry, I must be a little tired. The county lord tasted these three herbal teas again. As she spoke, Mrs. Zhong pointed to the cup in front of He Jingjing again.

Just now, He Jingjing only drank the warm tea poured by the maids, ignoring this inconspicuous cup.

"This is the ancestral three-course tea of my house, which the county lord can't drink in other places. ”

He Jingjing picked up the cup and looked at it, the color of this tea was not special, and the taste was very fragrant.

"This thing is called Sandao Tea?" He Jingjing was a little curious about the name of this tea.

"Yes, although there is only one cup, it is called three teas, as for why, the county lord will know as soon as he drinks it. Mrs. Zhong nodded, picked up her own teacup, took a sip of three teas, and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong was drinking so happily, He Jingjing also began to be curious about the taste of these three teas.

The moment the tea is entered, what I feel is a faint tea fragrance with a faint floral fragrance, which is not strong, followed by a faint sweetness that fills the mouth, and after the tea is swallowed in the stomach, the back of the tongue is faintly astringent.

Isn't this an improved version of Vita Lemon Tea? The taste is not so heavy, and it is a great way to relieve greasy and heat down!

He Jingjing's eyes lit up after drinking, this Zhong family will really enjoy it, three teas, three flavors of tea, interesting.

"This tea is really very good, three flavors and three teas. He Jingjing praised the three teas sincerely.

Drinking tea and eating snacks again, Mrs. Zhong didn't say a word about the purpose of calling herself over, and He Jingjing became more and more a little breathless.

"This tea has also been drunk, and the lotus cake has also been eaten, thank the old lady for her hospitality, and the next time the junior will make a snack and send you some, I will say goodbye today." He Jingjing was ready to retreat and remind Mrs. Zhong that it was time to get down to business.

Seeing that He Jingjing really wanted to leave, Mrs. Zhong was really a little anxious.

"The county lord is slow. Old Mrs. Zhong got up and came to He Jingjing's side.

"The partition wall has ears. Mrs. Zhong whispered a few words to He Jingjing, and He Jingjing instantly understood.

Today, it was Concubine Yan's maid who came to call herself, and Mrs. Zhong obviously had the intention of currying favor with herself, and these servants were really not worry-free.

Mrs. Zhong pulled He Jingjing to sit on the soft collapse together, and the two began to talk in a whisper.

"This time I came to the county lord mainly to remind the county lord of one thing. Old Lady Zhong took He Jingjing's hand and whispered to He Jingjing.

"What?"

"Be careful of Concubine Yan Niangniang and Yan Ruyu, as well as that Cai Shishi. The old lady did not change her face, and said the names of these people with a smile, He Jingjing followed the gaze of the old lady Zhong and turned back, and sure enough, she saw a figure eavesdropping and peeking in the corner of the wall.

"Mrs. Zhong's three-course tea is really delicious, I don't know if I can eat and drink more in the future?" He Jingjing said to Mrs. Zhong in a loud voice.

After finishing speaking, he whispered, "Why?"

Old Madam Zhong shook her head, and she didn't want to reveal the specific reason to He Jingjing.

It's just a reminder to He Jingjing, so as not to be invisibly calculated in the future.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong was reluctant to say more, He Jingjing did not continue to ask.

Mrs. Zhong can remind herself at this time that she has already sold a great favor to herself, and maybe she also has her difficulties.

"Why did the old lady take the risk of telling me this?" He Jingjing was very puzzled by this.

The two have no relationship, let alone a deep relationship. From Mrs. Zhong's standpoint, there is no need to tell yourself this at all.

"The old body only wants the county lord to promise me one thing. Old Lady Zhong sighed, looked at He Jingjing with a sad face and said.

"You said, as long as it's not a hurtful thing, I'll do my best. He Jingjing nodded.

"I hope the county lord will not pursue my young grandson's stupid deeds in the future. Adults don't remember villains, let him go. ”

He Jingjing immediately understood that Mrs. Zhong was looking for a way to live for Zhong Liang! Looking at this kind face of Mrs. Zhong, He Jingjing's heart was still very shocked.
