Chapter 156: Catch the ducks on the shelves
It was quiet all around. Jing Ning looked at the atmosphere and was tense for a while, and he didn't dare to say more. Zheng Anyan kept his head down and kept silent, the old lady's hand tightened slightly, as if she was angry, grabbed the tea cup next to her hand and threw it down.
"Bang!"
The teacup fell to the ground, broken and scattered, but fortunately, except for the water that soaked the robe, it did not hurt Zheng Anyan in the slightest. Jing Ning looked at his heart and sighed, his eyes glanced at the old lady from the teacup on the ground, as if he had decided something, and picked the palm of his hand.
"Grandmother is old, so she really shouldn't be so busy with family affairs." Jing Ning slowly walked in the direction of the old lady, trying her best to use a calm tone to relieve the extremely tense atmosphere.
The old lady's eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she felt Jing Ning's approval of her decision, closed her eyes, and nodded.
Zheng Anyan didn't look at Jing Ning, but obviously straightened his back a lot after hearing Jing Ning's words. Jing Ning also noticed Zheng Anyan's small movements, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It would be nice if I could find someone like my father.
"But Jing Ning is not a child anymore."
As soon as these words came out, let alone the old lady, Zheng Anyan's eyes widened, and he looked at Jing Ning with a confused expression, his eyes full of exploration.
Jing Ning consciously ignored these, smiled slightly, and leaned to the old lady's side, "If grandmother believes in Jing Ning, she might as well hand over the right to prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to Jing Ning." ”
Give it to Jing Ning?
The old lady was stunned. I didn't expect Jing Ning to say such a thing, it seems that in her eyes, Jing Ning is still that child who doesn't know the world.
"Jing Ning doesn't want to joke, this is not a trivial matter." The old lady actually couldn't sit still, she was a bargaining chip to persecute Zheng Anyan, but now she is like persecuting her own granddaughter.
"Grandmother, rest assured, Jing Ning will satisfy you, grandmother." Jing Ning smiled slightly, and said it just right, so that the old lady couldn't refute anything.
If she refutes it again, I'm afraid she will have a stigma of being greedy for power and refusing to let go.
"Jing Ning...?" Zheng Anyan asked with a hesitant face, as if he was afraid that he would burden his daughter, but he was afraid that Jing Ning would shirk it, and he would be embarrassed by the old lady again.
Jing Ning gave Zheng Anyan a slightly calm look, then looked at the old lady, and said, "Jing Ning really wants to share the burden for her grandmother, and her grandmother has to give Jing Ning a face." Jing Ning said, and pouted, looking aggrieved.
The old lady looked at Jing Ning's appearance, and her heart immediately softened, and her face was kind, "Okay, okay, if you want to try, try it." ”
After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and added, "If you can't do it, your family won't blame you." ”
With the permission of the old lady, Jing Ning also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was really afraid that the old lady would reject her like this!
In the middle of her thoughts, she glanced at Zheng Anyan again, nodded, and walked quickly to the old lady's side, "Thank you, grandmother!" Please also ask your grandmother to believe in Jing Ning, Jing Ning will not let her grandmother down! ”
"Okay, you little girl!" The old lady poked Jing Ning's forehead with her fingers, her eyes full of love. Jing Ning smiled, talked to the old lady, and then retired.
Zheng Anyan saw Jing Ning leaving, and he also wanted to leave. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he was stopped by the old lady, "An Yan..."
Zheng Anyan heard the old lady's voice, and his steps stopped instantly, but he didn't look back.
"Don't blame your mother, I'm really thinking about the Zheng family." Her eyes slowly drooped, "Our Zheng family can't be without a queen..."
Zheng Anyan didn't dare to look back at the old lady, maybe it was because she was suddenly too old, or maybe it was the obsession in his heart that he refused to let go.
"Jing Ning, she still has to get married after all..."
Zheng Anyan finally relented, took a big step, and walked out of the old lady's house.
Some things have been experienced for a lifetime, and some people have decided that they can never be changed.
Jing Ning looked at the sky in a daze, and was full of emotion for a while.
There is such a thing as a family banquet, and it is not that I have not prepared it in my previous life. Remembering the nervousness of preparing for the feast for the first time, her head hung down again, and her sadness flashed away. It's all over, and now this family banquet is her first time!
She seemed to perk up a lot and patted herself on the cheek.
This family banquet, for her, is really a duck on the shelf. If it weren't for the siege for her father, she wouldn't have taken it over.
It is a great joy to do this well, and if it is not done well, it will definitely make people chew their tongues. Especially that the Li family mother and daughter are still living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is not the master who can stop.
Jing Ning felt that her head hurt.
But I really thought about it seriously, and I remember that there was an imperial chef in the palace who could make soup and meals with medicinal herbs, what was it called...?
She dragged her head with one hand, trying hard, but she couldn't think of anything.
"Who's coming..."
"Miss? What are you talking about? Wen Xing on the side looked at Jing Ning's appearance, and felt that Jing Ning was regretting what he had just done, so he comforted, "Miss, don't worry too much, the old lady will definitely not blame Miss." ”
Jing Ning listened, Chong Wenxing smiled, but did not say much. It's really a stone to shoot herself in the foot, maybe this girl will think so, right?
Although the resources around her now are not as good as in her previous life, she still has some background in cooking. Even if you decide to do so, it's hard to go back.
Jing Ning stood up suddenly, startling the person beside him, and didn't dare to make any sound.
Isn't Miss stupid?
Wen Xing was thinking about it, Jing Ning suddenly walked forward, she hurried out, she didn't dare to stop following Jing Ning's steps, for fear that her young lady would do something impulsively, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"Wen Xing! Listen to me, help me buy some herbs. ”
Jing Ning's heart beat a little hard, after all, this was the first time she had cooked since she was reborn.
If it's done, her face will still be bright, but if she can't sit well... I'm afraid that it will not only hit my own face, but also Zheng Anyan's face.
She looked at the busy people and sighed in her heart.
I hope I can pass it safely...
She doesn't want to get any appreciation, she just wants to be able to satisfy everyone and hold a successful family banquet.
"The old lady really asked Zheng Jingning to prepare a family banquet?" Lee's eyebrows were twisted together, which could have been left untouched.
This Zheng Jingning must have done it on purpose!
But... It's not bad... Li Ziyue's eyes rolled slightly, and she smiled with a sly face.
"Mother, don't panic, I don't believe she can make a flower at the family banquet." Li Ziyue said, very confident, sure that Zheng Jingning must not do well, with a smile on her face.
"Maybe she can change the old lady's opinion of her!" She suddenly felt a little excited, and she was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. If the old lady has a bias towards Jing Ning, it will be really happy!
What does Zheng Jingning, who made a mess of the family banquet, look like?
She was looking forward to it.
