Chapter 35 A good wife?
Soon, a few more dishes were brought up from the kitchen.
The chef who was cooking was just standing there staring.
These dishes are all his specialties, and he wants to see what he can come up with this time!
He heard someone in the kitchen suggest that he could add some mushrooms to his dish, so he came over to see who it was.
The recipes for many of these dishes are passed down from his ancestors.
He also wanted to know whether he was just nitpicking or whether he really had extraordinary abilities.
It's no wonder that the master got angry since he challenged the master's ancestral recipe right from the start.
Although there were many people watching in front of her, Nangong Yue's character was unmatched by ordinary people.
After so many years of chanting sutras and reciting Buddha's name in the temple, he finally developed this untainted character.
He was now concentrating on the dishes in front of him.
Pu Qiongzhi specifically instructed the master to prepare some vegetarian food and food that is soothing to the spleen and stomach.
The dish of Ophiopogon japonicus porridge in front of me can relieve nausea. It is served with garlic and plum as a side dish, which is refreshing and appetizing. There are also some Tongshen cakes on the side, which are perfect for warming the stomach.
Nangong Yue did not mind the bland and shabby porridge and side dishes. She still sniffed the food and tasted them one by one.
"Delicious!" He ate it all up in one gulp and couldn't help burping.
Seeing his visibly bulging belly, Pu Qiongzhi rejected his impulse to have another bowl without hesitation.
"Fourth Uncle, no matter how delicious the food is, you can't rush to finish it in one day." Pu Qiongzhi advised.
Nangong Yue nodded obediently, "Sister-in-law is right. Such good food can't be eaten every day."
Hearing his praise, the master beside him almost grinned to his ears.
These few small dishes could not show his true level at all. I didn't expect that this guy could not find any mistakes at all.
It seems that he has some real skills. He will try adding mushrooms to the soup.
…
It is a lively occasion when my fourth brother comes home.
Nangong Hua has no time to take care of these things recently.
In his previous life, when he was working for the Ninth Prince, he accidentally discovered that old man Pei Hancai... had a concubine in his house outside the capital.
It was extremely secretive at the time. He was still tracking some things and accidentally came across that place.
He only felt it was ironic at the time. He didn't expect that the old man was still thinking about having a son at such an old age.
Now that I think about it, his son should be three years old.
To deal with Pei Wanqing, one naturally has to strike at her most vulnerable spot.
In her previous life, Pei Wanqing probably didn't know until her death that her father had another successor. Naturally, the honor and disgrace would not be placed on her alone.
Nangong Hua collected evidence and spread rumors outside.
The lady proclaimed that she was the daughter of destiny, and he mentioned in passing that she was also the most talented woman in Kyoto.
In order to praise Pei Wanqing's heroic act of saving the country and the people, everyone copied and recited her story one by one.
Nangong Hua looked at this and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
As long as Pei Wanqing's reputation spreads, she will naturally fall hard if she climbs high... There will be times when she will complain endlessly.
…
Recently, there was another person who was unhappy because Pei Wanqing was given the title of Princess Jiaoyang County.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is so cheerful and happy! The good day is approaching! Please be sure to treat us to a wedding banquet when the time comes!"
"Having such a virtuous wife, His Highness the Ninth Prince will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
"Prime Minister Pei's son-in-law is undoubtedly a rare talent. His Highness the Ninth Prince is truly blessed with great fortune and will surely have a promising future!"
“…”
Gongsun Huaili has been hearing this kind of talk so much lately that his ears are almost callused.
Everyone believed that he would definitely marry Pei Wanqing, but on what basis?!
This time, it was Pei Wanqing who strongly encouraged her to go to Lin'an to take over this shipping company.
She said that it would be very useful to subdue the shipping industry, but where would the use be?
Not only did he fall into the trap of the villains during this trip, but he was also caught in the center of the plague and almost died in Jiangnan!
If it weren't for the foundation he had built in the capital over the years, he probably wouldn't have been able to return to Kyoto!
But, using your own cards in such a place is really cowardly!
This incident alone had made him extremely angry, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left Lin'an, Pei Wanqing handed him a prescription for treating the plague.
If Pei Wanqing had not received any prior information about this matter, he would never believe it until his death!
But since Pei Wanqing had the news, she still tried to harm him and even claimed to be deeply in love with him...
It was ridiculous! All he saw in her eyes was calculation!
Now the rumors are spreading outside that he, the Ninth Prince, is afraid of death and loves life, yet he is destined to be loved by beautiful women!
Isn't this just using his name to build a raft for herself?
Even so, you still want him to marry her?
Oh, does she deserve it?
I can’t say she’s a good wife, but it’s good enough that she doesn’t plot against him!
As expected, he is of Pei family blood, just as vicious and cunning!
Princess Jiaoyang, it’s such a waste to give her this title!
In the same comparison, Qiongzhi is much more genuine than her.
In times of crisis, even after writing a suicide note, he was still willing to risk his life to save his men...
How could such a pure and beautiful woman not be his?
Thinking of the recent rumors outside, Gongsun Huaili found it even more ridiculous.
The so-called girl of destiny was just a fabrication by the Pei family to elevate Pei Wanqing's status and deceive people.
At a time like this, she is still so aggressive. Isn't she waiting for others to plot against her?
If I marry her, I will be noticed by my brothers and become the target of public criticism!
Now he still has too little capital in his hands, so he can't be the first to stand out at this time!
When he thought of this, Gongsun Huaili's face darkened.
Originally, he wanted to keep a position of concubine for Pei Wanqing, so as not to let her down.
Now it seems that Gongsun Huaili cannot marry this girl of destiny!
I can only stay away from it...
After making up his mind, Gongsun Huaili knew he had to take action.
After all, although he didn't want to marry, he couldn't resist Pei Wanqing's insistence on marrying her.
By then, there is no guarantee that Prime Minister Pei will not force him. If he can't afford to provoke him, can he not just avoid him?
…
Pu Qiongzhi heard about Pei Wanqing's poems on the streets.
"What a coincidence, our doll is also made." Pu Qiongzhi smiled.
Yan'er was a little excited, "Madam, are you saying...we are going to make money again?"
"That's right. Go post a message, I want to hold a poetry reading!" Pu Qiongzhi smiled meaningfully.
Nangong Hua walked in from outside and saw her writing the visiting card in such a leisurely manner.
"My husband is here? If you have nothing to do, please help me write." Pu Qiongzhi said.
Nangong Hua naturally agreed. After taking a look at the content of the post, he asked, "Madam, do you want to hold... a poetry reading?"
He paused on these two words intentionally. Pu Qiongzhi looked up and looked at him, and everything was said without words.
"The date is set at this time, on the eve of the audition. Everyone is very nervous and just needs to get together and relax." Nangong Huaduo said.
