Chapter 298 – Nephew Turned Son-in-Law
Before dinner, Zheng Ji excused himself from the house on the pretext that a friend had an appointment.
He didn’t dare to appear in front of his family until his emotions had calmed down. He had to be quiet again to think about how to recognize with Shiji ……
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Yu and Zheng Tingting came to Floating Life Residence.
Yesterday, they let someone send a letter to Jiang Yishi, today they will go to Zhaoming nunnery to visit Li Zhenbao, and they will come to Fusheng residence to get some things for Li Zhenbao.
Jiang Yishi woke up at c.m. and led Shui Zhu and a few maids to make four vegetarian dishes and a can of tonic soup. The ingredients had of course all been specially treated, even if Hua Hua had said it was useless for Little Jumbo’s condition, it would still increase her physique.
Sister Wu had gone back to Huzhuang for vacation the day before yesterday, and Hua Hua also wanted the countryside and Li Zhenbao, so she followed her up and went back together.
The little one also made a promise before leaving, only in Huzhuang and Mengjiazhuang, Zhaomingan three places to play, resolutely do not enter the mountains.
When the Zheng siblings arrived, the last pot of dim sum had not yet been cooked.
Jiang Yishi knew that it would be good to bring so many things for Li Zhenbao to be able to eat two pieces, but she just wanted to bring more to see which flavor she liked.
Meng Zhimo and Zheng Yu sat in the hall room to talk, while Jiang Yishi and Zheng Tingting went to the side room to talk.
Jiang Yishi was more concerned about He’s movements and led the little girl to say quite a few things she wanted to know.
Zheng Ji and He’s relationship is still distant, Zheng Ji is resting in the main hall side room at night. The rhetoric is to honor his mother who is not in good health, and it is not good for others to persuade him more.
He’s even more silent and gloomy, rarely going out of her own yard ……
“Alas, Auntie is pitiful, Uncle Ji is also suffering. My father and my mother were talking about this privately the other day, and it just so happened that I heard it.”
Zheng Tingting’s voice was even smaller, “My father said that when Uncle Ji was in love with the daughter of a minor official, Uncle Grandma firmly disagreed, saying that the door was not right for the family. Uncle Ji begged Grandma and Grandpa on his knees and said that if he didn’t agree to the marriage, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life, but Grandma still refused to agree to it.
“Uncle Ji is afraid of grandmother to hide to find him a marriage, deliberately let people to have him have a favorite girl and quarrel with the mother of the matter spread, thinking that know the family will not be willing to marry their daughters to him. My father even helped spread the word and was beaten up by my grandfather.
“Uncle grandmother first looked at three other girls, but they all refused, knowing Zheng Ji’s intentions. Then she looked at the He family’s daughter, and the He family, which had begun to fall into disrepair by then, was very willing to take the marriage.
“Because the woman has married, Uncle Ji also married aunt. The marriage was not a good relationship, and he didn’t go home every day. Not two years that woman died, Uncle Ji even more sad, ran out to guard the border. Alas, if I were that woman and had a man who was so devoted to me, it would have been worth it to die early.”
After saying this, she blushed.
Jiang Yishi is not good to take this, silent.
He is indeed poor, but that is her family know Zheng like another person to sell her.
Zheng Ji later also bitter, but the matter is he incurred, in the case of his mother still do not agree with the marriage, how can do that kind of thing with the girl.
There is also Yichang Grand Princess, son so like a woman, but no soft hearted stick to lovebirds, harming the son and two women ……
Zheng Tingting added, “Although Auntie didn’t get Uncle Ji’s heart, but the He family got a lot of benefits with this noble marriage, including sons and daughters becoming officials and asking for money …… Luckily, Auntie gave birth to a son, and Uncle Grandmother was satisfied, and she had a place in the house, or else it would have been even worse. ”
In the hall room, Meng Ruimo joked about Zheng Yu, “You go to Zhaomingan more and more often. Is it ……”
Didn’t say the latter words, raised his eyebrows towards him, very ambiguous look.
Zheng Yu waved his big hand and said, “What are you thinking about. That little ninny, not to mention now is still a nun, is to return to secularism, is also a little bit. We are so many years apart, how is it possible. I went to see her because I felt that it wasn’t easy for the little ninny, and simply sympathized with her, wanting to give her some encouragement.”
Meng Zhimo said, “She is fifteen years old this year, in the mundane world she should have reached maturity and married, where is she small?”
Zheng Yu froze, “She’s fifteen? In my impression, she is still a twelve year old little girl, dry and thin, dare to say anything, powerful.”
Meng Zhimo said, “Can it be that only you grow older and others don’t? Countess Zhenbao is very good, tough, strong, although her mouth is unforgiving, but her heart is soft and kind. You don’t be stupid and just know how to look, in case you are snatched away by someone else, it’s too late to cry ……”
Zheng Yu was very unconvinced, pointing to his nose and mouth hard, “I cry for her? What a joke. That’s just a little bitty ……”
Zheng siblings took away the things, and asked them to tell Li Zhenbao, wait until the weather is warmer, Jiang Yixi’s fetus sat firmly, several people about to go together to see her.
At this time, the granny in the outer courtyard sent a letter in, it was from Zheng Ji.
He said he had something to discuss and invited Meng Zhimo to his compound for a drink.
Meng Ruimo showed the letter to Jiang Yixi and said, “Going to the courtyard instead of the restaurant should be about that. I’d better go and tell him clearly what you want.”
Jiang Yishi nodded.
Meng Zhimo got dressed and asked again before leaving the house, “Do I really say that?”
Jiang Yishi said, “Of course, this is my mother’s dying wish.”
“He offered to see you and didn’t see?”
“No.”
Meng Zhimo saw that Jiang Yishi’s expression was firm, without a hint of wanting to change her mind, and walked out the door.
CunCun saw that his father had left without him, so he deflated his little mouth to cry again.
Jiang Yishi sat on the bed and took her son into her arms.
Not long after, Huang Xin arrived, and little CunCun happily played with his cousin again.
Jiang Yishi sat aside to think.
The Zheng Family Residence was a three-story mansion, small and exquisite.
This is Zheng Ji’s private property, only a room of subordinates to take care of. He is not in the capital all year round, and his subordinates who come to the capital to do business will live here.
Zheng Shou directly brought Meng Ruimo to the outer study.
Meng Zhimo felt that Zheng Shou’s gaze at him was very meaningful and more respectful.
Meng Zhimo walked into the side room and saw Zheng Ji sitting behind the book case.
Zheng Ji’s hard five had a bit of softness and a hint of embarrassment.
He pointed to the chair on one side, “Ruimo, sit.”
Zheng Shou poured tea and exited the house, closing the door again.
Meng Rimo looked at Zheng Ji, waiting for him to speak first.
Zheng Ji blushed slightly and changed his sitting position.
The original world friend and nephew had now become in-laws and son-in-law.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly had a daughter and a son-in-law sitting in front of him, or a familiar nephew plus subordinate.
Zheng Ji was a little embarrassed to have that kind of thing with Shiji’s mother before he had Shiji. It’s always a bit difficult to talk to his son-in-law about that kind of thing.
However, looking at Meng Zhimo’s appearance, he seemed to have guessed why he was looking for him.
Zheng Ji cleared his throat and said in a calm manner, ”You and Shiji are both smart children, you should guess what I’m looking for you for. I, I’m sorry for Shiji’s mother, and I’m also sorry for Shiji.”
