Chapter 258 is a caring one

  The next day, Ji Zhao went to the back kitchen of the restaurant early in the morning to get busy.

  At the beginning of the hour, she put the cooked ginseng and black-bone chicken soup in a food box, packed it up, and rushed towards Mafu.

  Yesterday she promised Shen Yao that she would visit the magistrate's wife, Mrs. Hou, early this morning.

  Shen Yao explained to her the relationship between the characters of the Ma family last night, and only then did Ji Zhao understand what the breakthrough point Shen Yao said was.

   Mrs. Ma has lived alone for many years, and she has only one son, Magistrate Ma, under her knees;

  The county magistrate of Kema is not a long-term lover. In order to pursue his official career, he abandoned his poor wife and turned around to marry Shangfeng's daughter, who is now the county magistrate's wife, Hou Shi.

As for the domineering young master Ma, although he is remembered under the name of the Hou family, his biological mother was a peasant woman married by the county magistrate in the countryside in the early years. It is a pity that she was unlucky and gave birth to Ma Tianxiang. But he died within a year.

  If Ma Tianxiang was involved in this game against Shen Dalang, then Hou's is a good breakthrough point.

   "A Tao, it's not that I want to hit you," You Er looked at the excited Ji Zhao, and said with some worry, "This county magistrate's wife is a reclusive person, and she never likes to communicate with others."

"Second Brother You, in order to save Big Brother, I have to give it a try!" Ji Zhao sighed softly, "When I went to Ma's house to cook, Mrs. Ma once praised the delicious double skin milk I made. So even if there is only a slight chance, I will try it!"

   "It's a pity that Second Brother Ma accompanied the old lady back to Fucheng first," You Er said regretfully, "If not, the chances of us meeting Madam Ma would be higher."

  In addition to a cup of ginseng black chicken soup, Ji Zhao also brought a painting made by Shen Yao.

  At the beginning of Si Shi, You Er accompanied Ji Zhao to Ma Mansion;

"The things have already been handed in, but it's hard to say whether Mrs. Ma is willing to see us." You Er looked at Ji Zhao with a calm face, and sighed softly, "A Tao, don't have too much hope. .”

   "Second Brother You, I believe Mrs. Ma will be willing to see me." Ji Zhao raised his eyes slowly and smiled firmly.

   At that time.

  Hou, who was kneeling and reciting Buddhist scriptures in the small Buddhist hall in the backyard, saw the chicken soup and paintings brought in by Ji Zhao, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, with mixed emotions in his eyes.

   "Ma'am, do you want to see her?" Lian Xin, the little girl who was serving by Hou Shi's side, asked in a low voice.

"Ginseng black-bone chicken soup nourishes qi and nourishes blood. Before I got married, my favorite drink was the black-bone chicken soup stewed by my mother." With the support of Lian Xin, Hou stood up slowly, and his eyes were a little more sincere. With a smile, "Miss Ji is really caring."

   "As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, this servant thinks that Miss Ji must have something to ask for!" Lian Xin said convincingly, "But this servant thinks this painting is a bit weird."

  The picture on that painting is exactly the picture of a hundred sons in bloom, but everyone in Dingyuan County knows that the county magistrate's wife has been married for many years and has never been pregnant.

   "Please invite Miss Ji in." Hou chuckled.

  It was more than half an hour later, Ji Zhao was finally invited into the Ma residence.

  She was brought to the flower hall by a little maid, and after a while, someone served tea.

  The weather today is very bright, and Ji Zhao has been waiting outside for more than half an hour, and his mouth is really dry.

   After taking a sip of the tea, a look of amazement quickly flashed across her eyes.

  Looking down at the stamen floating on the surface of the tea, Ji Zhao raised his lips silently.

  Original sweet-scented osmanthus stamens soaked in honey are added to the originally bitter green tea, which not only covers the astringency of the green tea, but also improves the taste of the whole cup of tea to a higher level. The sweet taste is endless aftertaste.

   I have to admit that this design is ingenious.

  While Ji Zhao was savoring the cup of tea, Hou arrived late.

   "I've seen Madam," Ji Zhao quickly stood up, slightly bent his knees, and saluted respectfully.

  The county magistrate's wife is exactly what Ji Zhao imagined, wearing a dark gray brocade robe embroidered with blessings, which makes her complexion ugly. Although her facial features are correct, she doesn't hide her haggard eyes.

   "Get up." Hou smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "The ginseng and black-bone chicken soup that Miss Ji brought in just now tastes very good."

"The most important thing is that you like it, Madam." Ji Zhao smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "When the women were lucky enough to come to the mansion to serve the old lady's birthday banquet, they wanted to visit her, but that day Mrs. I was too busy, and the woman had been busy in the kitchen all day, and the smell of oily smoke on her body was too heavy, so I didn't visit Madam."

  "Miss Ji," Hou smiled slightly, but there was a bit of piercing light in his seemingly gentle eyes, "If you have something to say, you might as well just say it."

   "Madam, please forgive A Tao for asking boldly." Ji Zhao mustered up his courage and asked softly, "When Madam married the county magistrate, did she know that he was married?"

   "Presumptuous!" The servant girl standing behind Hou yelled angrily, "Who gave you the guts to speak to Madam in such a tone?"

   Hou looked at the maid behind her, smiled and shook her head.

  Then looked at Ji Zhao again, and asked softly, "I heard that Miss Ji is married? Husband is still a scholar? Don't Miss Ji feel that your question just now has offended others?"

"Ma'am, A Tao didn't want to offend you." Ji Zhao said sincerely, "It's just that A Tao is in some trouble now and wants to ask Madam for help. The trouble A Tao encountered is related to Mr. Ma. "

"A Tao knows that Mr. Ma is not Madam's legitimate son, so A Tao wants to make a deal with Madam." Ji Zhao clenched his fists, looked her in the eyes, and said softly, "Does Madam want to have her own child? "

  Hou suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the original gentle smile disappeared instantly.

   "Miss Ji, some things can't be said indiscriminately!"

   "Ma'am, why don't you try it, how do you know you can't do it?"

  Ji Zhao met Hou Shi's piercing eyes without fear.

the other side.

  Shen Kee Pastry.

  Looking at the drunken Young Master Ma in front of him, Feng Chunyan shrank her neck and kept backing away—

   "Master Ma, Shen Ji is not open today..." Feng Chunyan clenched her fists nervously, and said in a low voice, "If you want to buy pastries, come back in a few days?"

"What is this young master here for, don't you know?" Ma Tianxiang, who was already drunk, suddenly smiled, but that cheap smile coupled with his pockmarked face full of pimples is really disgusting …

Ma Tianxiang approached step by step, held up the folding fan in his hand, raised her chin, and sneered, "It's such a good time, don't spoil my young master's interest! As long as you cooperate obediently, your brother-in-law, and Shen Ji , will be safe and sound! Do you understand?"
