Seeing Jiang Yixi act like this, Jiang Yiyan was not happy. This silver was more than all of her own dowry combined, taking advantage of their eldest house. She, Jiang Yishi, didn’t say thank you to her mother and big brother for their hard work, and she even thanked the old madam alone.

With the old and new hatred combined, she said regardless, “Jiang Yishi, do you really think you’re worth that much silver? My mother has been busy for you for several months,not even a thank you ……”

“Words girl!” The old lady drank, “How to talk to sister? You’re so old, you can’t speak without thinking.”

Jiang YiYan aggravated straight twisted her handkerchief, “Originally it is, I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Mrs. Jiang sighed, pretending to scold Jiang YiYan, “Don’t say too much. I am a great-uncle mother, helping my niece should be. As long as she’s happy and doesn’t complain about me, how dare you say ‘thank you’.”

Jiang Yishi smiled but not laughed, “Third sister is too anxious, I haven’t even finished speaking, you’re like a firecracker, bursting into flames. Great-uncle Mother’s ‘good’, I have always remembered it in my heart, and I don’t dare to forget it for a moment. As for how much silver I’m worth, Third Sister first valued herself before valuing others.”

Jiang YiYan’s eyes glared again, “What did you say? But to marry a blind man, what’s the big deal.”

Jiang Yishi sneered, “Then I wish Third Sister to find someone who isn’t deaf or blind and has arms and legs.”

Jiang Yirou let out a giggle and hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief in fear, and the Third Mistress glared at her.

Jiang Yiyan angry to talk back, the old lady waved her hand and drank, “again noisy, grounded, the girl family is not chaste and virtuous, sisterhood and harmony, like what words.” And asked Jiang Jin sideways, “How is the furniture done?”

Jiang Jin said the progress of making furniture and other things, finally the topic to one side.

Returning to the scorched courtyard after dinner, Jiang Yishi looked at the deed and pursed her lips for a while. Some people’s greed knew no bounds, so it wasn’t her fault.

This time, let the eldest Mrs. Jiang pay back the retribution she didn’t suffer in her past life, along with the debt she owed in this life.

Jiang Yishi put pen to paper and wrote a letter, handing it to Shui Ling along with the deed, and whispering a few more words in her ear. Shui Ling picked up Hua Hua, out of the burning courtyard to the back garden.

The letter was addressed to Meng Zhong, telling Jiang Da to go directly to the Meng family home tomorrow, where the old master would be staying for the next few days.

This kind of small matter does not need to trouble the old master, Meng Zhong is the small head of those few soldiers, he can do it.

On the seventh day of the third month, a powerful piece of news was spreading inside and outside the imperial court in the capital.

Meng Zhimo’s eyes were actually cured.

Not to mention how Meng’s family rejoiced, even the Emperor was so pleased that he sent an order for Meng’s grandchildren to come to the palace for an all-night talk.

Of course, there was another rumor going around. Meng Shizi is not blind, but also quite a holy heart, looks heroic, Jiang family orphan girl picked up a great bargain ……

On the evening of the eighth day of the month, Uncle Jiang went down to the Yamen to bring back another message, “The Holy Spirit said that Meng Shizi is like the old Duke Meng, both civil and military, and in the battlefield with numerous achievements, he was appointed as a general of the five regiments of battalions……. Haha, twenty-one year old general of the battalion, or the general of the five regiments of battalions, the old Duke Meng is the first person, Zheng Ji Zheng general is the second person, Meng Shizi is the third person, the second person, Meng is the third person. second person, and Meng Shizi is the third person.”

The Five Regiment Battalion, the toughest unit of the Jin and Dynasty, was composed of 50,000 elites drawn from various military battalions in preparation for emergency calls in times of war. Divided into five battalions, each battalion a senator general, led by the chief military officer, the same as the imperial forest army, bypassing the governor’s office under the direct management of the emperor and the Ministry of War to deploy. …

Elder Meng had once been the Chief Military Officer of the Five Regiment Battalion.

Jiang Yishi had already heard Meng’s grandchildren quietly discussing two days ago, and what they wanted most was to go to the five regiments. Before Meng Ruimo’s eye injury, he was a fourth-ranking general, and he thought that if he went to the Fifth Regiment Camp, he would be lucky to be given a third-ranking guerrilla general. I don’t know what the emperor’s considerations, not only let him go to the fifth regiment camp, but also gave him the position of general.

This news made all the Jiang family members happy, except for Mrs. Jiang and Jiang YiYan. After all, the Jiang family’s son-in-law had made a fortune, and the Jiang family could also take advantage of the light.

Grand Madam Jiang’s face became even more ugly.

From yesterday, when she heard that Meng Jimo’s eyes had gotten better, she had been restless. Today, when she heard that Meng Jimo had been transferred to the Fifth Regiment Battalion as a general, she was even more scared.

Jiang Yishi’s remaining light saw the appearance of the eldest Mrs. Jiang, and she was secretly happy in her heart, she still knows that she’s afraid.

After the meal, everyone accompanied the old lady to joke around for a while and went back to their respective houses.

Just out of Ruyi Hall, the first lady called Jiang Yishi to stop, laughing, “Shiyi girl, the steward who bought the land came to find me today, as if there is some kind of dispute over the land in Tangzhou, you give me the deed, I’ll let him go to get things done.”

This is to re-do the deed, or sell the land and re-buy it? Where would it be that easy.

Jiang Yishi laughed, “The deed is not in my hands right now.”

Mrs. Jiang was puzzled, “Not in your hands, what do you mean?”

“My brother and I set up a tablet for my parents in Huzhuang. I had someone take the deed to my parents’ tablet two days ago to offer it for ten days, so that my parents can see how good my great-uncle has been to me. When it’s due to be brought back, I’ll give it to Great-Uncle Mother.”

Mrs. Jiang anxiously said, “Why do you need to make an offering for ten days, making an offering for three days is only enough. We can’t delay the big event.”

Jiang Mashie said with a straight face, “I’ve already said I’ll pay for ten days, so I can’t go back on my word. No matter what, nothing is more important than my father and mother’s spirits. It’s already been three days, in another seven days, I’ll let people bring it back.”

Jiang Da-Madame was unable to do so, and could only say, “Remember, when you get it back, hurry up and hand it over to me.”

Jiang Yishi crisply agreed, “Good.”

Grand Madam Jiang was distracted and walked towards the main courtyard. Secretly said, still have to let people go to Hu Zhuang to find a way to get the deed, this matter can not be delayed, the faster the better ……

Suddenly a civet cat ran out of the grass on the left side of the tunnel and instantly leapt into the right

A second to remember [].

The right side of the grass.

Great Mrs. Jiang was startled and snapped, “Where did that ugly cat come from, drive it out.”

A maid said, “It seems to be the second girl’s cat, called Flower.”

Of course, Great Lady Jiang knew it was the ugly cat called Flower. Without another word, she hurried forward.

After returning to the main courtyard, she gave a few words to a granny so and so, “Tell Chen Er to hurry out once the city gates open tomorrow.”

The granny hurriedly left.

Flowers can suffer other anger, the only thing that can not suffer is that it is ugly, it cried all the way back to the burning courtyard.

Shui Qing was waiting for Flower at the entrance of the courtyard. The moonlight is bright, saw it running over from there, scolded, “more and more wild, the sky is dark and still not home …… ah, why are you crying?”

The cat actually cried and was in tears!

Shui Qing was so surprised that she hurriedly picked up Hua Hua and ran towards the house.

“Girl, girl, Flower Flower is crying, the fur on her face is wet.”

Jiang Yishi hurriedly carried Hua Hua over and asked, “Hua Hua, what’s wrong with you? Who bullied you?”

Hua Hua buried her little head in Jiang Yishi’s chest and meowed as she cried, “Grandma Jiang scolded me for being ugly, where am I ugly, where am I ugly ……”
