"Master He, Mrs. He is so polite."
Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "I can barely be called a cook. It is my blessing to have diners who like the food I cook, and I am very happy in my heart. "
"Mrs. He doesn't dislike my craftsmanship. She is willing to visit me often and is willing to support my business here. She helps me drive Xiaji to Fucheng. I am very grateful in my heart. "
"Logically speaking, I should really thank Mrs. He, so I feel guilty for keeping these things."
Xia Mingyue continued, "But I don't want to hide it from He. Young Master, I love cooking, and I am very interested in these cookbooks, so I am very willing to keep these cookbooks. As for the others, I hope Master He will not blame me for refusing.”

The surprise on He Lingyun's face flashed over, and the smile on his face became stronger, "I understand Madam Xia, I know Madam Xia doesn't like these things, let alone lack them, but I also say something honest in front of Madam Xia. "
"In this case, there is no need to be so distant and polite between Madam Xia and the He family. Secondly, to be honest with Madam Xia, this matter was specially told by my father and mother. If it can't be done well, , I'm afraid that when I go back, I won't even be able to enter the house, so Mrs. Xia can just take pity on me and do a good deed."
He Lingyun joked and bowed again.
Having reached this point, Xia Mingyue could only nod her head after thinking, "Since Mr. He said this, I will accept it shamelessly."
"Thank you, Mr. He, Mrs. He for your kindness, and thank you, Mr. He." Xia Mingyue was blessed with another blessing in a very proper manner.
"Ms. Xia, you're welcome..."
After chatting for a while, He Lingyun stood up and left.
Xia Mingyue sent him off and watched him get on the carriage and drive to the entrance of the alley.
When the carriage turned to the street, Fan Jinglan in the carriage almost raised her lips to the sky, "Why did you only stay for a while and then came out?"
"Then I still need to stay. How long?" He Lingyun touched his nose.
"Mrs. Xia can make the ancestors happy, and she is a noble person to you. It's just a matter of not offering the person as a sacrifice. How can she do it if she is so cold?"
Fan Jinglan's face was full of disdain. , "And those things, given so little and so shabby, your parents are really good at it. Is it possible that your parents are worried about this summer?" Madam is a person who wants to pursue glory and wealth. She wants to test a few things first, so as not to give too much at once, which will only feed the other party's appetite. In the future, everything will be related to your He family? "
"In my opinion, it would be most appropriate for you to put your heart into your stomach earlier. If this Lady Xia really means it, Many, I am afraid that I have already noticed something from the ancestors' usual behavior and reaped the benefits. Why wait until now and remain silent? Taking myself seriously, being on guard against this and worrying about that all the time, I just feel that I have everything on my own, and whenever someone appears around me, I must first Let’s see how the other person is thinking and whether he is decent before making other plans.”
“Aren’t you tired of thinking about things like this? There are so many troubles. This person closed his eyes. Just keep your temper right, that’s all. If you’re worried about this or afraid of that, it’s better to eat two more bowls of rice!”
Fan Jinglan's temperament had nothing to do with her name. Now when she spoke, her words became more and more like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, crackling, which made He Lingyun speechless and made his brain hurt.
After a while, he rubbed both sides of his forehead and said, "It's not as unbearable as you said. It has been very difficult for the family to get to where it is today. If we can't prevent the slightest change and nip it in the bud, wouldn't it be Isn’t it right?”
“So, it’s one thing for the people around you to have good eyesight and good temper. It’s better to be cleaner...” “You’ve said that good eyesight has good temperament, so that means it’s better. They have very similar temperaments."
Fan Jinglan interrupted He Lingyun, "Since they are very similar, it means they are on the same page. If the other party really has full intentions and has impure thoughts. , then it means that you are also such a person, and you can be regarded as the same kind of raccoon dog. If so, what else do you need to do? ”
"They are all just crows, but they still have to compare themselves to see who is black and who is darker? Again, there must be too much salt in the daily meals!"
He Lingyun, "... ”
There seems to be some truth in what you said?
It can’t be said, it can’t be said at all!
He Lingyun was complaining in his heart and hurriedly changed the topic, "Grandma mentioned that Madam Xia was a food franchisee and preferred to take care of people from poor families. She also assisted the magistrate of Jinqiu County to build workshops and resettle refugees. Great credit.”
"My father has truthfully reported this matter to the emperor. Later, even the queen also knew about it. She bluntly said that Madam Xia is a model of virtue and virtue for women, so she specially commended her, and the queen personally wrote an inscription as a gift."
“The ceremony officials who came to deliver rewards were almost the same as us. We set off from the capital at the same time, and I estimate that we can almost reach Jinqiu County in these two days, which is not an insult to Madam Xia.”
“But I remember that you mentioned your ancestors a few days after the New Year. The whole family is very happy to write a letter home. ”
Fan Jinglan glanced sideways at He Lingyun, "My ancestor rarely wrote back, and you were so proud at that time. I think that was the last time my ancestor wrote back recently, and it was also when he mentioned Lady Xia. ”
“And since it is the ancestor who has spoken. , several He adults did not dare to neglect it, and they probably informed the emperor immediately. It was already halfway through April, and it was already three and a half months before the Chinese New Year. The rewards had just arrived in Jinqiu County. This efficiency in doing things It’s a bit too low.”
He Lingyun, "!!!"
With a slight cough, He Lingyun defended, "The emperor has many things to do every day, and things are prioritized, so it is inevitable that this will happen."
Fan Jinglan said, "It doesn't matter what the reason is. , this low efficiency is easy to be criticized, it is really harmful to the emperor’s majesty and reputation, and needs to be improved.”
How dare you say it!
He Lingyun couldn't help but complain, "It's useless to tell me this. I'm afraid I have to tell the emperor."
"I just have to tell the emperor." Fan Jinglan squinted her eyes again, with an expression like "who do you think you are?" "Of course it is useless to tell you. After I return to Beijing, if I have the chance, I will definitely tell the emperor Let’s talk about this.”
He Lingyun, “!”
You really dare to talk about it?
But if you think about it carefully, it’s really possible.
As a result, the emperor has great favor for the Fan family. Fan Jinglan has been raised like a princess since she was a child. She is often looked after by the queen mother. Even the queen, who has no children, is also fond of Fan Jinglan. The apple of your eye.
Although Fan Jinglan was never named a princess, she enjoyed treatment beyond that of a princess.
It is precisely because of this that Fan Jinglan can speak without any scruples. (End of this chapter)
