Chapter 313 I'm here for a free meal

Nan Jiao was stunned. She had never thought that Xue Miaoyin would tell her all this, and she made no secret of her love for Zhan Beiheng, and frankly said that she had let it go.

"Why?"

"Because you are very special, different from all the noble ladies I know, even though we have only known each other for a few days and have not had much interaction." Xue Miaoyin said with clear eyes.

After all, the first time she met her, she felt that she was a special woman.

Nan Jiao smiled and said, "The first time I saw you, I could tell you liked Zhan Beiheng."

Xue Miaoyin felt more relieved after hearing this. "You can tell that I like him, which means he knows that sometimes no response is the best response."

Speaking of the latter, she felt bitter.

In fact, she had known for a long time that her cousin didn't like her, but she didn't let herself go. She still had a glimmer of hope and felt that she had hope.

But after seeing how good and special her cousin was to Jiang Nanjiao, she realized that he was capable of love, but his love was only for one person.

"As for him, I guess you can't tell." Nan Jiao thought for a moment and said, Zhan Beiheng doesn't care at all whether other girls like him or not.

After all, to him, they were all irrelevant.

"It's better this way, let him never know." There was a relaxed smile on Xue Miaoyin's delicate face. She could let herself go from now on.

"With your carefree attitude, you will meet a man who is right for you." Nan Jiao wished her well from the bottom of her heart. Fortunately, she did not deliberately try to compete for him.

Because she won't give in at all.

She was bound to lose.

"Thank you. I believe so too." Xue Miaoyin said with a smile. At this moment, she was extremely glad that she didn't dwell on it too much.

Otherwise, she would probably lose too.

"Come to the palace often in the future, you are welcome." Nan Jiao smiled friendly, she felt that they could be friends, and she could see that she had really let it go.

Instead of saying this to her in a false manner.

"As long as my cousin's wife doesn't mind me disturbing her." Xue Miaoyin was a little moved. She thought that even if she was honest, she would still keep her distance from her.

After all, she liked her cousin.

"No." Nan Jiao had a sincere smile on her face. If it was a scheming woman like Jiang Zhiyan, she would definitely not welcome it.

"Okay, I'm going home. You go in and keep Yoyobaoer company." Xue Miaoyin said and turned away, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

Danqing bowed and immediately followed his lady.

Nan Jiao looked at the backs of the master and servant. A girl like Xue Miaoyin who was so carefree and not obsessed with trivial matters would definitely find her own happiness.

…

Time flies.

New Year's Eve.

After breakfast, Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng took the children to the general's mansion. The mansion was bustling with lights and decorations everywhere, and it was full of joy.

Jiang Yao and the old lady were so happy when they saw Yoyobaoer that they immediately took them to get candies and other things.

Nan Jiao took Mu Yuanyuan to the kitchen

They were still responsible for preparing lunch, planning to make a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Early in the morning, Mu Yuanyuan asked the kitchen to buy fresh ingredients.

Arrived in the kitchen.

Nan Jiao and Mu Yuanyuan began to prepare. Since there were many dishes, they had to make them in advance.

Fortunately, the nanny and maid in the kitchen had already washed the vegetables, so they just had to cook them.

In the yard.

Zhan Beiheng, Jiang Chi and others were drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion.

Afterwards, Master Yan brought over two jars of wine, which he brewed himself and had treasured for several years. When Jiang Yao found out that it was good wine, he was extremely happy.

I plan to have a few drinks with Mr. Yan at noon, after all, he hasn't been back for the New Year for four years.

Found a real daughter-in-law again.

There are no other irrelevant people in the mansion, so this New Year has special significance.

It was almost noon.

The general's mansion was filled with alluring aromas. The servants couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They hadn't expected that the dishes cooked by the lady and Princess Jin were so delicious.

After finishing everything.

Nan Jiao asked the servants to bring the dishes to the dining room and set them out one by one. Of course, she also left a portion for all the servants. After all, it was New Year's Day and it was a rare opportunity.

Everyone looked at the dishes on the table with their eyes wide open.

They had never seen it before.

Nan Jiao had never done this for them before.

Mu Yuanyuan had never done this before. When she first came to this world, she was afraid that others would find out that she was an alien, so she didn't dare to reveal anything about China.

The daughter is braver and more resourceful than she is.

She used what she learned in her previous life to thrive in this world. One has to admit that she is better than her.

At this time, Butler Zhou came in hurriedly.

"Old General, the emperor is here." Butler Zhou reported quickly. He was shocked when he saw him just now. He didn't expect that the old man would come.

Jiang Yao immediately stood up and walked outside.

Since the retired emperor came to visit, he naturally had to go to greet him. Regarding the Mu family's matter this time, the royal family only allowed them to seize the mineral vein, which was already very lenient.

He was very grateful in his heart.

As soon as I came out of the dining room, I saw the retired emperor walking in in ordinary clothes, followed by Li De.

"This old minister has met the Emperor." Jiang Yao bowed quickly.

Other members of the Jiang family also came out and saluted.

"My grandson has met my great grandfather." Zhan Beiheng said.

"The granddaughter-in-law has met the emperor grandfather." Nan Jiao said with a smile. She didn't expect that the old man would come, but he was indeed in for a treat this time.

After all, it was the first time for her and her mother to prepare Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner.

Most people want to eat it, but they can’t.

"Yoyo has met my great-great grandfather."

"Bao'er has met the great-grandfather."

Yoyo and Baoer bowed as they saluted. Today, both of them were wearing festive red clothes, looking cute and adorable.

The emperor quickly waved his hands and said solemnly: "Don't be so reserved, and don't treat me as the emperor. Just treat me as an ordinary old man. I'm here to eat for free."

He left the palace secretly and did not let anyone else know that he had come to the general's mansion.

If it gets out.

Someone might be gossiping.

Of course, even if someone says something, he will just turn a deaf ear to it and do whatever he wants.

"The Emperor, please come in." Jiang Yao stretched out his hand to signal him to go first.

The retired emperor wanted to reprimand him and tell him not to do that, but thinking about Jiang Yao's personality, he would definitely follow the etiquette between the monarch and his subject, so he had to leave first.

Don’t forget to hold Yoyo in your left hand and Baoer in your right hand.

When he saw the dishes on the table, his eyes were full of surprise and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Old Jiang, who made this table of dishes? Is your chef so amazing?"

It has good color, aroma and taste.

He is much better than Chef Lu. He has to be invited to the palace.

Jiang Yao's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this was done by Nan Jiao and her mother together. I was also quite surprised."

The Emperor looked at Nan Jiao and asked in surprise, "Did you and your daughter do this?"

"Your Majesty, Nan Jiao is the one who cooks, and I help her." Mu Yuanyuan smiled calmly. They had discussed this before.

She still doesn't reveal what she knows about China.

"How do you know how to cook these dishes? I heard that Qianji Pavilion is yours, and there are many novel things in it." The retired emperor looked sharp and inquiring.

What's in her head? Why does she know so much that others don't?
