Chapter 121: Congratulate Me
Flower was not happy and meowed, “I’m going to the Meng family home.”
Regardless of whether Elder Meng was in the Meng family home or not, as long as it went there, it would be treated as a guest by the underlings, with good food and drink, and whatever it wanted to catch.
It also used its paw to signal Wu Youfu to lead the mother goat and her two children to go with it.
Now, the subordinates of the Scorch House and the Sovereign House can probably understand Flower’s “paw gesture”, Wu Youfu laughed and drove the three sheep to go with it to Mengjiazhuang.
After eating the morning meal, Jiang Yishi listened to He’s and Shuizhu’s reports on what food the kitchen had prepared. They were mainly preparing for Li Zhenbao tomorrow, and there was very little meat, all of which was eaten today.
Jiang Yishi thought that Meng Zhimo would probably come for dinner, and asked Shui Zhu to go to town to buy some meat and vegetables. The good wine manor left a few jars.
In the morning, Jiang Yishi picked up flowers and plants in the yard. Some of the flowers need to be divided into plants, and in June they will take some of them to the Meng Family’s Shizi courtyard, and also leave some here.
At the beginning of Shen Hour Meng Lianshan rode his horse to the Sovereign’s Courtyard and brought two jars of good wine.
“Reporting to Second Miss Jiang, the Shizi Master will bring a guest at 5 o’clock, he asked Second Miss Jiang to prepare some more dishes for the wine.”
Jiang Yishi asked, “Which guest?”
Meng Lianshan laughed, “Young General Zheng.”
“It wouldn’t be Zheng Yu, would it?”
Meng Lianshan was incredulous, “How did Second Miss Jiang know that it was Little General Zheng who was Zheng Yu, Second Miss Jiang is also too smart.”
Jiang Yishi smiled, not realizing that it was really Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu’s name was like a thunderclap, the Zheng family had been looking forward to his return, the Zheng sisters had been promising to introduce their brother to Jiang Yishi, but it turned out that they themselves had seen him earlier than them.
Shui Ling wasn’t happy that Meng Lianshan only realized that her own girl was intelligent, rolling her eyes and saying, ”Big brother Lianshan has come to Huzhuang so many times before realizing that my girl is intelligent ah. Even if you didn’t see it, Sister Shui Xiang didn’t say anything?”
Meng Lianshan hurriedly explained, “I know that the second girl Jiang is smart, I don’t know that it’s so smart ……”
Jiang Yishi greeted Shui Ling and went to the kitchen, leaving the busy Shui Xiang to pour tea for Meng Lianshan.
Zheng Yu had to bring at least one of her own soldiers, and there were more than two more big appetites.
She looked at the prepared dishes, marinated chicken, marinated ribs, marinated elbows, marinated livers, marinated dried beans, wrapped pot meat, sweet and sour pork, Longjing shrimp, duck soup with shredded duck, and a few vegetarian dishes.
Jiang Yishi added a few more dishes, and the portion size had to be increased.
Arranged the kitchen, Jiang Yishi and commanded the water beads and water spirit to pick up the west room, take out a few good ornaments on.
After cleaning up, Jiang Yishi went to the upper room to change clothes and make up.
Not long after, the sound of horses’ hooves and voices could be heard from outside the courtyard.
Jiang Yishi greeted the door and saw two young generals enter the hanging flower gate.
Both of them were dressed in military uniforms, equally tall and short, fat and thin, all of them were imposing and handsome. One was Meng Zhimo, and the other was the thunderous Zheng Yu.
Only, Zheng Yu’s skin color was a bit darker than Meng Ruimo’s, with a bit more heroic. Meng Zimo’s features were a bit more delicate than Zheng Yu’s, adding a bit more handsome.
Jiang Yishi curtsied and blessed herself, smiling, “Big Brother Meng, General Zheng.”
Meng and Zheng came in front of Jiang Yishi, Meng Zhimo introduced again, “Shishi, this is my good brother Zheng Yu, just call her big brother Zheng.”
Zheng Yu gave Jiang Yishi a cupped fist and smiled, “Miss Jiang, excuse me.”
His smile was very bright. This was again different from Meng Zhimo, who would rarely smile so brightly. This might have something to do with the upbringing, the Zheng family was amicable, while Meng Ruimo’s upbringing in the Meng family had many more vicissitudes.
Jiang Yishi gave Zheng Yu another curtsy and called out, “Big brother Zheng.”
Zheng Yu pulled out an oil paper bag from his pocket and smiled, “This is the red fruit seed that my uncle honored the old Duke of China with, it came from outside the country. It is said that the fruits that come out are round and bright red, extremely pretty, and can also be eaten.
“Miss Jiang is the future granddaughter-in-law of the old Duke, I heard that she is extremely good at handling flowers and plants, so I took it upon myself to forward these seeds to Miss Jiang, and the red fruits that Miss Jiang planted will then honor the old Duke.”
He was also unable to do so. He had brought quite a few gifts for his mother’s sister and other female relatives, and his uncle had also brought quite a few, but it was not good for him to send female things to the unfamiliar Miss Jiang, and it was not good for him to send gifts for men to send to girls. Today to come as a guest, it is not good to be empty-handed, so he sent these seeds, anyway, they are all family.
Jiang Yishi very much like the triangular flower over the extra, heard that this red fruit can eat and ornamental, extremely like.
She took it and thanked her, saying that as soon as it turned out, she would honor the Old Grand Duke with a pot.
Seeing an old acquaintance, Jojo was so excited that she jumped and screamed in the cage, “There is a beautiful woman in the north, absolutely worldly and independent. There is a good man in the north, absolutely worldly and independent …….”
Repeatedly said these two sentences, not to say anything else.
Zheng Yu saw Jojo long ago and walked over with a smile.
“Little thing, still remembering these two lines of poetry.”
Meng Zhimo snickered, “You didn’t teach all those love poems, did you, Little General Zheng is iron-blooded and soft-hearted.”
Zheng Yu laughed, “I only taught these two lines, the rest were taught by General Zhao and General Li. The little thing is just too noisy, my uncle couldn’t, and couldn’t give it to others, so he gave it to the old princes to relieve their boredom.”
A few people teased Jojo for a while longer, and entered the west wing of the hall.
Meng Ruimo and Zheng Yu were sitting on both sides of the eight immortal table, Meng Ruimo pointed to the chair next to himself and laughed, “Little General Zheng is my good brother, shi shi also sit.”
Shui Xiang came in to make tea, and Shui Ling brought in two more plates of the Hu Yuan’s homemade snacks. The two soldiers were invited to the east wing by Wu Dabo to drink tea and chat.
Zheng Yu laughed, “I heard Brother Meng say that Second Miss Jiang is curing her little sister’s eye disease.”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Yes, Jingjing’s eyes are much better. I play extremely well with Tingting and Jingjing, they and Mrs. Zheng have been looking forward to Big Brother Zheng.”
At this time, it was noisy outside again.
Faintly, they heard the voice of Sister Wu calling out “Sheriff Master”.
Jiang Yishi was stunned, didn’t Li Zhenbao come tomorrow, why did she come first today?
Li Zhen Bao didn’t wait for Sister Wu to tell her that she had a guest, she already walked quickly into the inner courtyard.
Although she was wearing the nun’s plain clothes, she didn’t wear a monk’s hat on her head. In the sedan chair she had tied the front of her hair in a pill head and used a hairpin to tie it up, with the back of her hair hanging down naturally. This hairstyle she had also worn in her previous life, only the hairpin had replaced the rubber band.
She saw Jiang Yishi standing at the entrance of the west room, and quickly walked up and laughed quietly, “Jiang Er Sister, congratulate me, I’ve come to Yue Xin.”
The voice wasn’t loud enough that people a little far away definitely couldn’t hear it, but Meng Zhimo and Zheng Yu in the west wing could definitely hear it. Then came the sound of two people choking on their tea and coughing.
Li Zhenbao heard a man’s voice in the room, and when she inclined her head to look, there was actually Meng Ruimo and a man she didn’t recognize sitting inside, looking at her with their jaws agape.
Jiang Yishi was so bashful that her face was red, she was embarrassed to turn around and look at them.
Li Zhenbao was also embarrassed, and said to Meng Zhimo with a giggle, “Brother Meng is here, you guys sit down.” Pulling Jiang Yishi to the upper room.
