Niu Li was so frightened that she almost died.
Therefore, she did not show up on the day when Niu Jiashi and others were executed.
Fengzhu Mansion.
Ji Mansion.
When Mrs. Ji San heard that Xu Mingsong was leaving, she was surprised and a little reluctant. After all, she was used to the food cooked by Xu Mingsong, and if she changed the chef, she might not be used to it.
So she decided to go in person and try to retain the chef.
She did not ask the housekeeper to summon him first, but planned to meet Xu Mingsong in person to show her sincerity.
So, when she asked the housekeeper to take her to Xu Mingsong's residence, Xu Mingsong was shocked to hear that Mrs. Ji San was coming to visit!
He doesn't want to see it.
But what can he do? Since Mrs. Ji San has come, how can he not see her?
So, he could only lower his head and come out to meet Mrs. Ji San.
"Are you Chef Xu who has been in charge of the kitchen in our Ji Mansion for more than ten years?" This was the first time that Mrs. Ji San met Xu Mingsong, and she was extremely polite to him.
"Yes." Xu Mingsong was a little nervous.
"I heard from the housekeeper that you want to quit your job?" asked Mrs. Ji San.
"Yes." Xu Mingsong didn't dare to raise his head.
"Why do you want to leave?"
"Well, I've been away for too long and I miss my hometown a lot, so I want to go back."
"I can give you double the wages, how about that?"
"Thank you, ma'am, but no need. I have made up my mind."
"three times!"
Xu Mingsong shook his head.
“Four times!”
Xu Mingsong still shook his head.
“Five times!”
Still shaking his head.
“…”
Seeing that he was determined and unshakable, Madam Ji San sighed and said, "Since you insist on leaving, I won't make things difficult for you. Considering your hard work in the Ji Mansion over the years and your excellent cooking, which is very much to my liking, I plan to give you a reward of one hundred taels of silver."
Xu Mingsong hurriedly said, "Thank you, Madam!"
Mrs. Ji nodded and looked at him. Seeing that he kept his head down, she couldn't help but ask, "Chef Xu, why do you keep your head down?"
Xu Mingsong said nervously: "I, I'm just a cook in the Ji Mansion. I know the hierarchy, so..."
Madam Ji San waved her hand, interrupting him and saying, "Raise your head. You have been in the Ji Mansion for more than ten years, and I have never seen you look like this before."
However, Xu Mingsong did not dare to look up.
The housekeeper next to him frowned and said, "Xu Mingsong, Madam asked you to look up, why are you still standing there?"
Mrs. Ji San thought that he had never seen her before and was afraid of her, so he didn't dare to look up. She persuaded him to raise his head and look.
Under pressure, Xu Mingsong could only raise his head, but soon, he lowered it again.
However, after just one glance, Mrs. Ji San inexplicably felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't explain why, so she didn't think much about it, and then said, "Well, I'll remember you. You wait here, I'll go back and have someone send you the reward silver."
Having said that, he left.
Xu Mingsong was sweating profusely.
I'm really afraid that Mrs. Ji San will recognize me.
It seems that after receiving the one hundred taels of silver, I have to leave quickly.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say what will happen next.
He was extremely nervous at this moment.
However, seeing that Mrs. Ji San did not mention the problem with his appearance, he couldn't help but feel lucky, thinking that he lowered his head too quickly and Mrs. Ji San might not have seen it clearly.
But, she said, she remembered him?
So, did you see it clearly, or didn’t you?
For a moment, he was also very nervous about this issue.
As soon as Mrs. Ji San returned to her residence, she heard the sound of children making noise outside.
"Come on, Daddy will take you to see Grandma and let Grandma give you candy!" San'er's silly laughter came from outside.
Mrs. Ji San sat in the house, waiting for San'er to bring the two grandsons over. She hadn't seen her grandsons for some time and missed them very much.
Although she disliked Yuan Xiao'e very much, these two grandsons were, after all, the blood of the Ji family.
Therefore, she treated these two grandsons equally with her other grandsons.
soon.
Ji Wufei came in from outside with his two sons.
Seeing them, Mrs. Ji San smiled brightly, took out the candies she had prepared, gave them to them, and even teased them. Ji Wufei, who was standing next to them, said, "Mom, I want some candy too!"
Mrs. Ji San felt a little helpless, so she also gave him a candy.
Although my son is in his thirties, his temperament is... almost like that of a three-year-old child.
Mrs. Ji San stroked her two grandsons' heads and asked them questions. Then, Xu Mingsong's face suddenly flashed through her mind...
That familiar look...
Then, her eyes fell on the faces of her two grandsons and she studied them carefully...
Actually, the more I look at it, the more similar it is!!!
Her expression suddenly became solemn!!!
Then, she glanced at her fat son and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "Do you often come into contact with Chef Xu from our Ji Mansion?"
She had heard of this matter before.
"Yes!" Ji Wufei had no idea what his mother was thinking. "Xiao'e loves the food he cooks the most, so I often ask him to cook for her and then send it to her."
He also chattered about some things related to Xu Mingsong.
To put it simply, he often saw Xu Mingsong and Xiao E also often saw him.
Well, they see each other quite often.
The more Mrs. Ji San listened, the more shocked she became!
The expression on his face is getting worse and worse!
"Mom, why are you so pale?" Ji Wufei noticed that his mother's face was getting paler and paler. He was confused and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
