Chapter 174: The gentle Mrs. Cao

Jiang Chengjia said nothing, frowned slightly, and kept listening carefully to Cao's words with his ears.

"You have been together for more than half a year and more than April. Even if you have misunderstandings, you can explain it clearly. Unlike me who have been separated from him for more than ten years, the mother and son even feel that it is difficult to overcome even when they talk to each other." Cao said lightly.

"Aluo, I just hope you can understand his pain as a disciple... talk to him more... Maybe you don't have to hide all your private investigations, so you can explain it clearly with Zhaoer. Less unresolved misunderstandings and more trust between each other, maybe this will help you persuade him to let go of his inner demons." Cao said solemnly.

Jiang Chengjia was a little surprised and did not expect that Cao knew that she had a detailed investigation with the foreign government in private. But when she thought about it, she felt that this matter was actually easy to explain. Cao Xiu was not a person who turned a deaf ear to external affairs. When she was young, she was a famous talented woman in Longxi. She came to Chang'an and Luoyang. She was delicate and intelligent. Even if she was now imprisoned in this small wall house due to illness, relying on the old couple Ji Xianzhi and Biyun, she would probably have an insight into the political situation inside and outside the government.

The fact that she was the head of the Water Pavilion Pavilion was known to everyone in the Great Wei Dynasty, so it was not that difficult for Cao to guess that she had a private interview.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is very willing to spread it out with Junhou as you said, and the two of them advance and retreat together. But Junhou may not be willing to listen to me... Until today, he may still think that I am the wife of a political enemy... No matter what I do... I may block his way in the future. My daughter-in-law wants to persuade him, but Junhou doesn't want to listen." Jiang Chengjia sighed slightly and said helplessly.

She hadn't thought about what Cao said, and felt that maybe she would spread the matter out of the way... the situation would be completely different.

Today she finally made up her mind to resolve the misunderstanding with him, and made it clear to him, and quietly participate in these things he was starting to do, and slowly approach him.

But... I heard Ji Xianzhi tell Qianshan that the king and the prince could not go to the appointment. The courage and confidence in his heart plummeted.

Jiang Chengjia lowered her head and didn't speak.

Cao raised his lips slightly and smiled, "This is not simple? If Aluo really had this idea... his mother is willing to help you. The two of them will get twice the result with half the effort."

She raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Cao in a daze. At this moment, she didn't know what to say to express her gratitude.

Cao comforted her with understanding: "You and I are family members, so there is no need to express gratitude."

Jiang Chengjia nodded and raised a smile at her.

Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the next thing. At this moment, Biyun happened to walk in with Qianshan and Xiaocui with food boxes.

The three servants walked around the screen and lie inwards, and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sitting on the couch talking and laughing at the moment, getting along very well. So they all smiled with relief.

"Hey...Madam...Don't joke with the girl anymore. You haven't eaten anything in the morning. You must be hungry now... The girl prepared a lot of tea and meals. Come and have a look. It's guaranteed to make your appetite!" Biyun said to Cao with a smile, holding two food boxes in her hand and placed them on the small table beside her. She quickly dragged out two cushions and spread them on the ground. She moved the small tables for meals to the middle, and then ordered Qianshan and Xiaocui to place food.

Mrs. Cao let go of Jiang Chengjia's slender hand that had been pinching her palm, slowly stood up and smiled, "I can smell the fragrance from afar... I'm already salivating without your reminder."

She walked to the cushion, sat down slowly, waved to Jiang Chengjia, "A Luo was also... tired all morning, probably not having a bite of hot food, and I was punished to stand in the yard for more than half an hour. I must be extremely hungry now. Come and eat quickly."

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said obediently: "Okay."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat opposite the mat, Qianshan and Biyun added bowls and chopsticks to each other and served some meals for them.

Before she started eating, Cao suddenly stopped chopsticks and ordered Biyun: "Go to the Nanyang Pavilion next door, invite Jun'er, and take advantage of lunch... I have something to say to her."

Biyun was stunned. Looking at Cao's serious expression, she didn't react. After a while, she said, "Here."

Then he hurriedly walked out the door.

Qianshan and Xiao Cui stood aside and looked at each other, wondering what Mrs. Cao was going to do.

Jiang Chengjia saw that Cao put down his chopsticks, so he naturally did not dare to move. He sat there properly, blinking his eyes, and felt that he could not understand Cao's thoughts.

After a while, Biyun hurried back from outside, but Li Xiangjun was not seen behind her.

Cao frowned and said, "Where is Jun'er?"

Biyun hesitated and said, "I went to Nanyang Pavilion. The maid from Nanyang Pavilion said... Miss Jun went to Laifu Restaurant to make an appointment..."

Cao said in confusion: "She has no relatives and friends in Linhe, and...he has just passed the chaos, what appointment did she go to?"

Biyun's face froze, subconsciously glanced at Jiang's side, and hesitated for a while and said, "It's... the friend surnamed Zhou of the male king set up a banquet outside... The male king specially invited Miss Jun to go..."

When Jiang Chengjia heard this, his expression of Pingruochang trembled slightly, and the teacup that was pinching in the palm of his hand became tighter.

Seeing that her fingers holding the teacup turned white, Cao said to Biyun with a calm expression: "Since she has gone out to make an appointment... then let her go."

"A Luo... let's have a meal." Mrs. Cao said gently to Jiang Chengjia, who was thinking about something and was terrified.

The girl opposite looked a little ugly and soon woke up from Cao's call.

She smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay... I'll serve a bowl of tea porridge for my mother. I have developed other methods for this porridge... Introducing a cool medicinal herb... It helps to reduce fire and remove humidity, and has some benefits for your illness. Today, this fat and tender white pigeon is also marinated with the steamed green tea you like to drink, with enough salt and fine sugar. In addition to marinating the pigeon meat, the daughter-in-law also applied special seasonings from her hometown inside and outside it to ensure that the meat is tender and not roasted by high heat. When it was released, she applied a layer of honey, wrapped the bamboo leaves and placed it in the steamer for a long time, and then took it out and fryed it in the oil pan. The skin is crispy and the taste is even more delicious. Try it."

Jiang Chengjia tore off a piece of tender meat from the golden pigeon with a dark yellow color that was slightly ripe and the green and green juice unique to the tea handle, and placed it in Cao's bowl.

Mrs. Cao looked at her kindly, picked up the chopsticks and put the pigeon meat into her mouth, and felt a strong tea fragrance and honey. The sweet smell of the juice was melted into her mouth. She didn't feel the meat was sweet and greasy, and she felt refreshing.

She ate with relish and praised Jiang's craftsmanship, "I really don't know how Aluo's craftsmanship... has been so exquisite? She actually made this ordinary stewed pigeon meat so delicious."

Seeing that she was happy to eat, Jiang Chengjia also said happily: "It's good if my mother is happy."

"And this shiba cake is a recipe brought back by my brother from the North. This soup cake is also very delicious. The noodles are made by me rubbing them with my own hands, and the sauce on them is also specially made... My mother tried it, it is very appetizing."

She kept picking up the dishes for Cao's family, and her smile on her face was very sweet.

Cao only looked at her with a pair of loving eyes. Seeing her having sex for herself so much, she smiled without saying a word. She loved this little girl a little more.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily finished their meals and chatted for a long time before Mrs. Cao was willing to let Jiang Chengjia go out of the South Courtyard.

On the way back to the North Courtyard, Qianshan chattered and said to Jiang Chengjia that Mrs. Cao's good things were endless.

In the south courtyard, Biyun put away the dishes and chopsticks, and exchanged them for a slaughter to clean them. She turned around and saw Cao slowly put down her loving face, and her expression became a little serious.

"Today... Did Zhaoer make any agreement with Aluo? But he broke the appointment? I saw Aluo knowing that Jun'er's expression was very wrong after leaving the mansion."

Biyun slowly stepped forward, loosened her muscles and bones for Cao, rubbed her shoulders and said, "It's true that this is true. I heard from Lao Ji... Today, the male king was supposed to come to the South Courtyard to accompany you for dinner... It was because there was an emergency official business outside... I was so happy to have an appointment."

However, Cao sneered at Ning Nanyou's reason: "Since he couldn't do something... how could he agree to A Luo? She had hope and disappointed. Why did she say that she was in business? Zuo Dan went to mess with his friends again. Maybe Zhou Yuanmo called the King of Wuhu to hold a banquet in the restaurant. Maybe it might not be necessary."

Her words hit the point and she guessed very accurately.

Biyun secretly muttered in her heart: It is indeed a mother and son who are in love with each other. The wife knows exactly what the male king wants to do.

"Zhao'er is also a bastard!" Cao sighed, "It's fine if he goes out, but he wants to invite Jun'er too. This is clearly a joke for everyone in the mansion to see A Luo."

The beautiful woman in front of her was very angry. Biyun hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her: "Miss, don't be angry either... The male guy may be really busy with official business, and he had to find Miss Jun."

Cao glared at her and said, "You can protect this bastard! I have been protecting you since I was a child! I don't think he has grown much! He has never felt grateful!"

Biyun lamented: "Miss...it's a bit mean... The man treats my family well... and he personally invites Mr. Que'er, why is that bad?"

Mrs. Cao didn't speak or listen to advice.

Silence for a long time.
