I Became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 299
Chapter 299 As it should be
“Master Ji, have a taste?” Ji Zhao smiled and handed him the plate of fried locusts.
Ji Tingan waved his hand subconsciously to refuse, but just sniffing the fragrance, he was eager to try again.
“Really… Really edible?”
“Eatable.” Ji Zhao smiled firmly, “If your lord refuses to set an example and try it, I’m afraid the folks in Dingyuan County won’t try it lightly, right?”
Ji Tingan’s eyes flickered when he heard this, and after a while, his eyes were filled with determination.
Finally, he simply closed his eyes, picked up a fried locust and handed it to his mouth!
Different from imagination, this fried locust is delicious and crispy, and it is full of aroma after one bite?
The weirdest thing is, he actually feels that he still has more to say?
“What do you think, my lord?” Looking at the expression on his face, Ji Zhao already got the answer.
“Very good!”
Ji Tingan was overjoyed, he really never thought that Ji Zhao’s cooking skills were so superb that even the notorious locust could be made into a delicious delicacy by her!
“My lord, I have written down the method of cooking locusts,” Ji Zhao generously gave the ‘secret recipe’, and then put forward some very valuable suggestions for cooking locusts.
Ji Tingan kept nodding his head, and didn’t express a word of emotion until he saw off the couple.
“If Ji Atao is a man, he will be loyal to the emperor and patriotic in the future, and will devote himself to the court!”
Zhubai standing behind him nodded silently, Mrs. Shen is indeed extraordinary.
She is kind and has a good disposition, which makes people want to get close to her.
“However, my lord, it may not be easy to persuade everyone to eat locusts.” Zhubai said with some worry.
“It’s okay, wait for me to send a letter to the lord, I believe the lord will have a way to solve this matter.” Ji Tingan said firmly, “Compared with other counties, our Dingyuan County is the least affected by the disaster, and I believe it has caused a lot of trouble. Some people with ulterior motives have noticed.”
“Before, the prince specially ordered me to find a way to approach Shen Yao quietly, but now I think his wife is more interesting.” Ji Tingan lowered his head and rubbed the koi water ring jade pendant on his waist, thoughtfully “Zhubai, what do you think will happen if I send Ji Atao’s portrait to Kyoto?”
“My lord still doubts Mrs. Shen’s life experience?” Zhu Bai was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand his lord’s thoughts.
“Well, Ji Atao is not a native of Shiliu Village, not to mention she looks very much like my aunt.” Ji Tingan thought about it carefully, and finally decided to quietly draw a portrait of Ji Zhao and send it to In the hands of the eldest aunt, after all, to him, the eldest aunt has the grace of rebuilding.
The locust plague is finally over, and the people in Dingyuan County also ushered in a hearty heavy rain at the end of July.
The heavy rain lasted for a whole day and night, and did not stop until dawn on the first day of August.
The crystal clear dewdrops are rolling on the emerald green banana leaves, naughty and lovely.
The air after the rain is extraordinarily fresh.
The sleepy Ji Zhao, the bed beside him was already cold.
She sat up from the bed in a trance, and after yawning, she was finally fully awake.
Squeak—
The moment the door was pushed open, Shen Yao gathered up the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, flicked the raindrops outside the eaves, then turned and walked into the house.
In his arms, there are two budding hibiscus flowers.
“Zhao Zhao, are you awake?” Shen Yao smiled at her, then found a clean bottle, and inserted the two lotus plants into it.
The fragrance of hibiscus adds beauty to the room.
“You got up so early, just to pick lotus?”
“Well,” Shen Yao walked to her side with a smile, then raised his hand and tapped the tip of her nose, “Have you forgotten what you said last night?”
“Last night?” Ji Zhao blushed when he heard this word.
It wasn’t until they became a de facto couple that she discovered how energetic Shen Yao was.
Every time he had a married life, if she hadn’t cried and begged for mercy, he would never have stopped.
But this feeling is a sweet burden.
“Zhao Zhao, why did your face become so hot all of a sudden? Huh?” Shen Yao stroked her chin, his soft tone was filled with a slight smile, the meaning of which was self-evident.
“Ahem… hot? I don’t think so!” Ji Zhao silently moved his hand away, blinking his eyes pretending to be blank, “Last night… what did I say last night?”
“You said that the food you’ve eaten the past few days has been greasy, and you want to drink a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.” Shen Yao pinched her nose helplessly, and said softly.
“So you went to pick lotus pods early in the morning?” Ji Zhao was surprised but also very moved.
“Yes!” Shen Yao nodded lightly, “I have already sent the picked lotus pods to the kitchen. Mother said that she will call us when the white fungus and lotus seed soup is cooked.”
“Shen Yao, why are you so nice!” Ji Zhao rushed into his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and looked up at him for a moment, those watery almond eyes were as bright as stars.
“Fool!” Shen Yao lowered his head against her brow, and said softly, “You are my wife, and I treat you well, as it should be.”
The smile in Ji Zhao’s eyes deepened, and he couldn’t bear to let go of him.
“Zhao Zhao, I don’t mind letting you sleep a little longer, huh?” Shen Yao looked at her with raised eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, the deep meaning in it was self-evident.
At this moment, Ji Zhao, like a frightened little rabbit, hastily let go.
“I’ll go to the kitchen to see if Mom needs my help!”
After finishing speaking, she hurried out—
After all, if she runs slowly, she will definitely not be able to get out of bed before lunch today.
Half an hour later.
When Ji Zhao returned to the room with the cooked white fungus and lotus seed soup, Shen Yao was seriously reading a book.
“Shen Yao, let’s eat lotus seed soup first?” Ji Zhao smiled, and handed the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup to him, “In two days, shouldn’t it be time for us to leave for Fucheng?”
The autumn of the Dajing Dynasty generally began in mid-August, and when the autumn ended, it happened to be the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus was in full bloom, so there was a list of Guibang.
And Qiuwei has another name, which is the rural examination.
Shen Yao was already a child student seven years ago, but unfortunately failed in the exam four years ago.
If Master Fan had not explained the truth to Shen Yao before his death, he would not have believed that his grades had been changed in advance.
“Well,” after finishing the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, Shen Yao nodded slightly, “If there is no accident, we should leave in two days.”
“Then I should pack my luggage in advance!”
“A Tao?” Shen Yao suddenly called out.
“Um?”
“If I fail this time…”
“Shen Yao,” Ji Zhao walked around the table and walked to his side, and said with serious eyes, “Whether you can win or not, as far as I am concerned, you are just my Ji Zhao’s husband, no matter what kind of person you are Identity, do you understand?”
