Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 812 Miss Ji’s smile is so pretty
Several people entered and came forward to salute. The old lady greeted with a smile, "Sit down, sit down, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home. Our family doesn't have so many rules... I thought you might have to I wanted to sleep a little longer, so I ordered the dining room to serve dinner later. I didn’t expect you to wake up so early. Are you hungry?”

Everyone shook their heads and said they were not hungry. Chen Qi did not expect to meet Ji Wuyan here. She was very nervous while holding Shen Luoxin's arm. However, because the elders were worried about losing etiquette, she replied cautiously and then hurriedly said It's quite funny to shrink back. The old lady was also a little surprised. She took a look at the little girl, tilted her head and asked Ji Wuyan in a low voice, "Are you hiding?"

Ji Wuyan touched his nose and said nothing. He just said "hmm" in a low voice, looking a bit defeated.

The old lady found it interesting. This little girl has been a good person since she was a child. She is sweet-tongued and can coax people. All men, women and children like her. It is rare to see a little girl who avoids her like a snake and a scorpion... It seems that she is really timid. . Although he wanted to pull her over to say a few words, looking at the other person's appearance, he was worried about scaring him out, so he had to give up and told the maid behind him, "Go and ask the dining room how the dinner is going. If it's ready, prepare it." Let’s have dinner.”

Hearing this, Ji Wuyan also turned sideways and told Zi Qiu, "Go and see if Mr. Chen is awake. He is already a very old man, but he still imitates young people who stay up late without sleeping. When he comes back, he will arrange a maid for him and just keep an eye on him." Eat and sleep.”

Ziqiu agreed with a smile, walked to the door and almost bumped into Shangguan Chu who was about to enter. With the smile still on his face, he hurriedly saluted and ran away.

When the old lady saw it, she felt strange, "Why did you come back so early today? The sun has not yet set, but you are back... Could it be that you have a dog nose? I know there will be a banquet in our courtyard tonight." Food, come by the smell?”

"No." Shangguan Chu responded with a smile, "I was discussing business in Dongshi. As we chatted, I felt hungry and my stomach was growling. I guess I missed the dishes cooked by Grandma Wang... yo , Aunt Wang, isn’t this the piece of cloud brocade silk that I only have in my shop? How did it get into your arms?”

The old lady looked back at Grandma Wang and sneered secretly, this boy has such a sharp eye! The things in his shop were so valuable. Who knew they were in the hands of the owner? It was just to give Grandma Wang a chance to "show off" the new fabrics. Xiao Ning has been good at coaxing people since she was a child, and she probably learned from this kid. She has sharp eyes, a sweet mouth, and a flexible mind. How can she not be lovable?
Sure enough, Grandma Wang's eyes lit up, and she held the Yunjin silk with a smile and almost handed it to Shangguan Chu, "Girl gave it to me! Old lady, I have lived for so long, and I have never used such comfortable materials... Girl It's true, old lady, I am just a servant. I should take care of the masters. It's just my duty. How can I accept such a heavy gift? Besides, the old lady is not willing to wear clothes made of such good materials. Yeah! Oh no, I can’t bear to make clothes..."

Chen Qi held Shen Luoxin's arm, unknowingly put her head in, looked at the fabric in Grandma Wang's hand and asked Shen Luoxin softly, "Sister Shen, is that material... very expensive?"

Shen Luoxin nodded and said nothing. She just smiled and persuaded Grandma Wang, "Wuyan has never treated you as a servant. You are her family and her elder. Giving an elder a piece of cloth is a sign of your heart." ”

Although Chen Qi still wanted to ask how expensive it was, with the elders present, she couldn't keep whispering and it would be rude. She only took a look at Ji Wuyan, who was quietly sitting next to the old lady and drinking tea with low eyebrows. She was smiling, and that smile was soft, gentle, and strangely beautiful that she had never seen before.

Chen Yinuo also nodded in agreement and praised in a serious way, "Miss Ji is indeed one of the rare pure and kind people." He praised it sincerely, but Chen Qi was dumbfounded when he heard it, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears. Ji Wuyan ? The purest and most good? How can a person who is the most pure and kind allow his subordinates to commit crimes with a smile like that? horrible!

Grandma Wang held the fabric and smiled like a flower. While laughing, she praised Ji Wuyan and said that since the girl was a little old, she had treated her, an old woman, with so many good things and delicious food. Anyone who has fun will think that there is a Grandma Wang in the house who also likes it! If the maid hadn't come to say that dinner was ready and we could start dinner, the old lady doubted that this old guy could talk all night. Even if there weren't so many things to talk about, she would still be able to point out nonsense.

This old guy...does he usually skimp on her food and clothing? And "I have never used such comfortable materials in all my life"... Yun Jinsi gave it to her herself, but she was reluctant to use it and was worried that it would break if left for a long time, so she made it for Xiao Ning herself, stitch by stitch. For clothes, I was probably too embarrassed to do them during the day, so I had to wait until I had a break to do them in the dark.

So when it was not dark at that time, I always rested early, just to give her more time to make clothes. But after resting for a long time, the old guy suspected whether he was sick again, so he called Mr. Chen. Feeling the pulse is a good way to mobilize troops and mobilize people.

From then on, the old lady did not dare to give any good things to this old man. She left everything to Xiao Ning. Even if Xiao Ning could not use it, she was reluctant to use it herself. Therefore, the old lady only had one He generously gave her a monthly allowance, which has increased several times over the years. However, the old man usually saves money and has few places to spend money. Instead, he often buys things for his children out of his own pocket.

Therefore, to Grandma Wang, it didn't matter whether the brocade silk was valuable or not. What she held in her arms and displayed happily was just the children's feelings for her. Whether the children gave her a piece of precious cloud brocade silk or a random bamboo dragonfly bought from a roadside stall, it meant the same thing to her.

The old lady shook her head repeatedly and reminded helplessly, "Okay, okay, you all know that the little girl gave you a piece of satin. I will find someone to make you clothes someday to save you from poking out a pair of eyes in the dark. Put it away first. , eat, eat, everyone is hungry.”

Grandma Wang was as happy as Maitreya Buddha, saying "Yes, yes, yes" repeatedly. After answering, she quietly reminded Ji Wuyan, with an expression as if she was offering a treasure, "Girl, there are butterfly shrimps that you like tonight. I'll see you later." I told the maid to put it on the table in front of you, so you can eat more." His voice was low, but just enough for most people to hear.

Extremely childish - the old lady shook her head repeatedly. This old man was like this in his early years. The little girl was like her own granddaughter.

Ji Wuyan was obviously used to it. While holding Grandma Wang's arm and walking inside, he asked cheerfully, "Mother Wang made it herself? Then I have to eat more, and no one can steal it from me!" "

Chen Qi followed behind, looking at the old man and the young man with a strange expression.
