Chapter 251: Is It Better Than Me
Mrs. Shang was a little apprehensive, she had also seen the world, but she was the highest lady of the county order, not to mention the eldest princess, the biggest official she had ever seen was a prefect, of course, she was afraid that the etiquette would not be careful, which would cause the eldest princess to be dissatisfied.
Zelan gently held her wrist and said with a smile, "Madame, don't be nervous, the eldest princess's mansion doesn't want to kowtow."
In fact, most mansions only have this requirement for major scenes, otherwise it would be too wasteful to kneel around on everything you usually do.
Mrs. Shang let out a dry "hey", and then she didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Jiang Baohui smiled and took the initiative to speak: "Mrs. Shang, right? Ling Bao mentioned you to me, saying that you treat her very well, and every time you go to your mansion, you must always prepare food for her."
Ling Bao nodded: "Yes, yes, I never ate pastries at that time, it was so delicious. When I leave, Mrs. Shang always asks the kitchen to prepare some more for me to take away."
For her at that time, she had never eaten anything so delicious.
After Jiang Baohui heard what she said, she was distressed and sad, and said to Mrs. Shang gratefully, "Thank you so much for taking care of her."
Mrs. Shang hurriedly stood up and said, "Where, it's just a few pieces of pastry."
"Courtesy is light and affection is heavy." Jiang Baohui said seriously, not to mention, for Lingbao at that time, it was not light at all.
Later, she heard from the children that the family was very poor, and even the porridge and rice were eaten with shells, so in this case, how could there be extra money to eat pastries?
Ling Bao nodded in agreement, and was pulled by Shang Jingxian's sleeve, so he leaned over to listen, Shang Jingxian whispered, "Look at my eldest brother, does it look like a piece of wood?"
Lingbao looked up and saw Shang Yuan sitting on the opposite side, motionless, as if he had a knife around his neck.
When a maidservant girl served tea, Shang Yuan was flattered, took it with trepidation, thanked him in a low voice, and then sat upright again.
"......" Ling Bao looked tired, thought for a while, and asked, "Mother, where is the big brother?"
Jiang Baohui didn't know, after all, Cheng Yun had also grown up, and he had his own things to do, so it was impossible to tell her everything.
Zelan bowed and said, "Uncle should be at Mr. Gao's."
Lingbao said, "Go and call it. The eldest brother and the eldest brother are friends, so he should entertain them."
That's the reason, Jiang Baohui nodded, and Zelan arranged for someone to inform Cheng Yun.
Shang Yuan hurriedly said, "Since Brother Cheng is busy, there is no need to disturb him."
After speaking, he paused, and felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to call Cheng Yun and Brother Cheng now......
Hey, I suddenly understood my sister's mood just now.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ling Bao comforted, "This is what a big brother should do."
Soon, Cheng Yun came, and smiled and said, "Brother Shang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
The two of them played each other, which was very good.
Not to mention, after Cheng Yun came, Shang Yuan was really much more relaxed.
Cheng Yun said to Jiang Baohui and took Shang Yuan to his yard.
Shang Yuan sighed, "The eldest princess is really powerful......
Cheng Yun smiled and didn't speak.
In fact, Jiang Baohui is quite approachable, but after all, she is in a high position and has a noble temperament.
On the other side, Lingbao was asking Shang Jingxian how they came here.
After asking, she found that Shang Jingxian was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't help but be even more curious.
Mrs. Shang smiled and said, "Since Lingbao you left, Jingxian can't do anything, and often asks me if you still have a chance to meet......
At this time, because of various reasons in the identity journey, there are so many that you will never see them again in a lifetime.
Not to mention them, they are brothers, and after stepping into the official career, they are assigned to two places, and they may not see each other for more than ten years, which is also a common thing.
"Then Mrs. Shang, did you bring them to the capital?" Lingbao asked curiously.
That's right.
Mrs. Shang saw that her daughter was depressed all day long, and she couldn't find a better playmate, and Shang Yuan was also going to go to the official career in the future, so she thought about simply taking him to see the world, so as not to be mentally unstable when she took the exam in the future, so she packed up her things and embarked on the journey to Beijing.
Hearing this, Jiang Baohui's face was slightly moved.
Just because her daughter misses her friends, she has the idea of traveling a long distance and puts it into action, but she is a mother who loves her children.
Especially her daughter's missing friend is still Lingbao, and she has been separated for so long and still can't forget it, doesn't this just show that Lingbao is likable!
This strange and inexplicably smooth logic made Jiang Baohui have a good impression of Mrs. Shang.
Ling Bao was moved to take Shang Jingxian's hand and said, "Sister Shang, thank you for liking me so much!"
Shang Jingxian is still a little shy, after all, she is introverted nowadays, but no one puts the word "like" on her lips like Lingbao.
Then she whispered embarrassedly, "So, then you are in the capital, have you made good friends?"
Ling Bao seemed to feel something, blinked his eyes, looked at Shang Jingxian and didn't speak, this question ......
Shang Jingxian thought that her silence was acquiescence, and she was a little sad for a while, and asked Ai Ai, "Did you hand it over?" Who is it? Isn't it good? Is it better than me and you? How did you meet......
And so it was!
"Sister Shang, have you eaten the taste?" Ling Bao asked with a grin.
Shang Jingxian stopped talking suddenly, and half-lowered her head in some shame, then raised her head again, and said expectantly, "You haven't answered me yet......
Ling Bao laughed and explained, "I haven't made any friends, I'm busy studying and practicing medicine, how can I have time."
Shang Jingxian was happy: "Really?"
When Lingbao said it was true, her face changed again, and she said angrily, "Then you just deliberately watched my joke?"
"Where? I'm just going to confirm my suspicions."
Ling Bao smiled, thinking in his heart, he didn't expect Sister Shang to drink vinegar.
Then he told her about his three days of free medical treatment in the village, proving that he really didn't have time to make other friends, and Shang Jingxian was amazed when she heard it, and she only felt that Lingbao was very persevering, and she admired it for a while.
The playful laughter of the two children reached the ears of Jiang Baohui, who was talking to the monk's wife, and she turned her head to look at it and smiled with satisfaction.
Speaking of which, not counting Xie Wuxian, this is still Lingbao's first friend of the same age.
Jiang Baohui asked with concern, "Have you found a place to live?" If not, you might as well stay here."
Mrs. Shang: "How does this work? We'll just go find a place to stay."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Baohui didn't say much, she could see that they were still a little uncomfortable facing her.
But she still arranged for someone to help, after all, Mrs. Shang was from outside, in case she was deceived.
Mrs. Shang saluted: "Thank you, eldest princess."
Ling Bao left their family for a light meal.
At the dinner table, the Shang family was secretly shocked, it was worthy of the eldest princess's mansion, and there were many dishes that they had never seen or heard of!
This is really a misunderstanding, because those dishes are recipes copied by Ling Bao from space, and they can't be seen anywhere else in the capital!
