At the end of the New Year’s Eve, Meng Ruimo’s family dressed up in a joyful manner, and also gave Hua Hua a beautiful red dress, and went to Fu’an Hall with gifts to honor their elders.

The men first went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to their ancestors, and even Cun Ge’er, who was a few months old, was carried in by Meng Ruimo.

The whole family played happily in Fu An Hall for the whole day and had a reunion dinner.

Meng Ruyu still did not come, the kitchen made a table of noodles and sent it to his yard. The old lady cherished her third grandson, and also picked a few dishes he loved to eat and had them sent to him.

In the evening, the men went to the front yard to observe the New Year’s Eve, and only after midnight did Meng Zhimo return to the Floating Life Residence.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Elder Duke Meng, Elder Duke Cheng, and Meng Ruimo went to the palace to pay their respects to the Emperor. The Elder Duke brings the young Meng Ruimo to see the world, making Third Lady Meng very happy.

Jiang Yishi was pregnant and couldn’t go to the palace, so the only female member of the Meng family who was qualified to pay New Year’s greetings to the Empress Dowager was the old lady. She was old enough to bring a junior to serve her. Meng Lan had already been betrothed and brought Meng Frost with her this time.

The third house’s son and daughter all went to the palace to pay their respects, while their own children and grandchildren didn’t take advantage of the light, making the second madam very angry. She quietly whined to the Second Master, and was rebuked a few more times by the Second Master.

“What a woman’s opinion, can’t you have a bigger pattern? Now that father is personally tutoring his two sons, they are also getting better and better. In the future, they don’t need to be brought up by others, and will be recruited by the saint since ……”

The second master led Meng Yuyan at home to receive the New Year’s guests, Meng Ruyue on behalf of the Chengguo Gongfu go to other people’s homes to pay New Year’s greetings.

At the end of the sixth hour, Jiang Xun came to the Meng family to pay New Year’s greetings. After saying a few words to the second master and his son, he said goodbye and left, he had to go to another house.

The woman in the outer courtyard came to tell Jiang Yishi that the second uncle came on behalf of the Jiang family to pay tribute to the New Year.

Jiang Yishi is a bit puzzled, in the past years is the eldest son Jiang Jin on behalf of the Jiang family to pay tribute, I do not know what happened this year.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yishi returned to her mother’s home with her son. This time, Hua Hua didn’t whisk away, it didn’t like the old Jiang family, and ran to Fu An Tang to find the old couple to play.

In front of the gate of Wu Xiang Bo’s residence, only Jiang Xun stood to welcome the guests.

Jiang Xun went up to see the salute and smiled, “See the second brother-in-law, see the second sister.”

After seeing the salute, he anxiously carried little CunCun over.

Little CunCun was wearing a red, wearing a tiger hat. The little guy also recognizes uncle, hugging uncle and kissing hard.

Jiang Xun is extremely pleased, “the little nephew more and more like me.” And whispered, “Zhou lost his footing a few days ago and fell off a cliff and died. Big brother and third brother, Jiang Yiyan went to Qing Shi Nunnery to do the funeral, today has not returned.”

Jiang Xun especially hated the fact that Jiang Yiyan treated his sister badly and never called her third sister.

Zhou died?

It was really heavenly justice and retribution.

Jiang Yishi laughed in spite of her image and said the word “deserved” in her heart.

According to reason, Zhou has been repudiated, but also out of the house, the children and grandchildren of the Jiang family can not care about her. But the children are willing to go to fulfill a filial piety, there is no excuse.

A few people came to Ruyi Hall, the old lady and uncle Jiang, Jiang third master in, Jiang Yi Hui has led the man son to.

Third Mistress Jiang and Great Grandmother Jiang returned to their respective maiden homes with their children, and Great Mistress Jiang returned to her maiden home with her concubine daughter Jiang Yishan.

Grand Master Jiang and Grand Master Jiang didn’t go to Yue’s house because they wanted to talk to Meng Zhimo more to bring the two families closer.

Her birth mother had just died, and Jiang Yi Hui was dressed plainly and didn’t look well. She had to go back to her mother’s house today, and it was her in-laws who insisted that she come, so the Guo family wanted to seize every opportunity to build a relationship with Meng Ruimo.

Meng Ruimo and the others greeted the old lady.

The old lady was much more polished than before, the clothes she wore were palace satin, and the jewelry she wore was made by the Ministry of the Interior, all of which were sent by Jiang Yishi.

Because of Jiang Chen, Jiang Yishi hadn’t been stingy with the old lady financially, but emotionally she wasn’t close by any means.

The old lady stretched out her hand to the little Cun Cun in Mother Huang’s arms and laughed exaggeratedly, “Ai yu yu, my heavy grandchildren’s grandchildren, they’re so handsome, they’re the same as their granddaughters-in-law.”

Her words caused Meng Zhimo to frown lightly.

Mother Huang took Little CunCun into her arms.

Little CunCun didn’t recognize life, but he didn’t like this old lady, mainly disliking her sharp voice. He didn’t cry, grunting and blocking the old lady’s closeness with one small hand.

The old lady felt that the child didn’t cry which meant he liked her, and was so happy that her face was full of chrysanthemums that she stuck the big red envelope she had prepared into CunCun’s arms.

“My obedient heavy grandson, Great Grandmother had prepared the big red packet for you long ago, just waiting for you to come.”

The old lady was snobbish. In the past, she had held Guo Zi Fei up to the heavens, but now she only had Meng Zhimo in her eyes. Moreover, Guo Jie is not Jiang Yi Hui’s biological son, little Cun Cun only has Jiang family blood, to give little Cun Cun is one hundred taels of silver checks, to give Guo Jie is six silver peanuts, and do not pay much attention to him.

The old lady’s attitude shames Jiang Yi Hui and annoys Guo Zi Fei, but she doesn’t dare to show it.

Meng Zhimo is pestered by several men about the situation in the court.

Jiang Yi Hui could see that Cun Cun disliked the old madam and said to mama Huang, “Carry Cun Cun’er over here, don’t tire the old madam.”

She put up her spirits to chat with the old lady and Jiang Yi Hui, and Jiang Xun carried his little nephew over to nurture his feelings.

Little Guo Jie took Cun Cun’s little hand and called him “cousin”. CunCun also liked this little cousin and smiled at him.

Guo Jie has been with Jiang Yi Hui for so long that he already sees her as his own mother and feels that Cun Cun is his cousin. As for Old Mrs. Jiang’s differential treatment, he couldn’t see it yet.

Seeing that cool little face that resembled Zhao Yuan Cheng, Jiang Yi Hui’s emotions towards this child were more complicated. Both feeling that the child was not guilty, but also unwilling to let Cun Cun get close to him.

His own father and mother were not good, and Guo Zi Fei was out of tune, but hopefully Jiang Yi Hui could teach him to be virtuous and be a good boy.

After Zhao Hu left the capital, Zhao Yuancheng also left, rumored to have gone to some military camp for training. Without that big dude in the capital, there is less trouble for many good women.

Noble Consort Zhao and King Ying had kept a particularly low profile during this period of time, plotting a comeback. In their minds, King Ping and Consort Qu De were punished to go to the imperial tomb can come back, they are still in the palace.

After the mid-morning meal, a few men went to the outer study to talk, and Jiang Yixi’s siblings and little Cun Cun went to the Scorched Courtyard.

The two siblings were laughing and joking when Jiang Jin suddenly barged in.

He was wearing plain clothes with a white rope tied around his waist, and looked at Jiang Yishi with an angry face.

Jiang Xun was busy getting up and blocking in front of Jiang Yishi, saying with a deep face, “Big brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Yishi was also puzzled. She sat without moving and asked with a cold face, “Did I offend you?”

Jiang Jin trembled his lips and drank at Shui Ling, “Get out.”

Shui Ling rolled her eyes and stood still, why should this girl listen to you.

Jiang Yishi was curious as to why Jiang Jin was treating her this way and rushed at Shui Ling, “You go out.”

Shui Ling knew that second uncle was much more powerful than Jiang Jin, but still reminded, “Second uncle, don’t let anyone hurt my great grandmother.”

Jiang Xun said for her to hear and for Jiang Jin to hear, “No matter who it is, they can’t touch a single finger of my sister.”
