Chapter 332 – They Intend to
Zheng Tingting beamed, “It’s not like we’re going right away, it’s always two or three years later. Alas, I don’t want big brother to go either.”
Jiang Yishi relaxed, Li Zhenbao still had time. If he catches up with Zheng Yu and has to go to the border, it depends on what little Jumbo does.
Zheng Ji let Zheng Yu go back, there should be some kind of plan.
At this time, a figure appeared in their sight.
In the rain and mist, a young man with a brown-colored oil-paper umbrella walked through the gate and turned onto the west veranda.
The young man was long and thin, with sword brows and starry eyes, wearing a basalt colored cross-necked arrow-sleeved robe, the autumn wind blew the hem of his coat, making it even more elegant and handsome.
It was Jiang Xun.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “The wine and food were just sent to the outer courtyard, why did he come here.”
Zheng Tingting blushed and lowered her eyes, embarrassed to look at the young man who had arrived in a flutter. But her eyes raised uncontrollably to look, and then hurriedly lowered.
Before the person entered the house, his voice was heard.
“Sister, brother-in-law they have something important to discuss, I came to you for dinner.”
Only after entering did he see that Zheng Tingting was also here.
The young girl was tall and beautiful, just like a fairy. It made his eyes immediately brighten up, shining like the stars in the night sky.
He hurriedly lowered his eyelids, cupped his fists and smiled, “Eldest Miss Zheng.”
Zheng Tingting’s face turned even redder, a rare bit of shyness. Ying Ying bent her knees and smiled, “Second Prince Jiang.”
Even if Jiang Xun’s bright light was fleeting, Jiang Yishi captured it.
This younger brother had ideas.
Looking at Zheng Tingting’s shyness again, Jiang Yishi was a little surprised.
Both of these children seemed to be interested.
Jiang Yishi hadn’t thought about what would happen between them at all before.
There was a huge difference in their lineage, but because there was Jiang Yishi in the middle, it wasn’t impossible. But with Zheng Ji and Hu’s entanglements, could the Zheng family be willing?
Other than He, the Zheng family currently did not know that Jiang Xun’s mother was the Hu who was entangled with Zheng Ji. But if they want to recruit Jiang Xun as a son-in-law, they will definitely pay attention to his external family.
Jiang Yixi’s greatest fear was that if the Zheng family knew that her mother was a Hu Clan, would they associate her and Meng Yin’er’s appearance with Zheng Ji.
She was in a difficult position.
Her intention was to hope that this pair of young children would have their hearts in the right place. But reason made her reluctant for them to poke that windowpaper because they were not allowed to be together, and the Zheng family would not agree if they knew the truth. At the same time, there was the possibility of exposing her relationship with Zheng Ji.
If she made a move to stop it, was she not beating her lovebirds with the same stick as Grand Princess Yichang?
Jiang Xun didn’t notice her sister’s colorful face and said to Zheng Tingting, “Why didn’t Brother Zheng come?”
Zheng Tingting laughed, “On duty in the palace. We are going to Zhaomingan to see the treasures tomorrow.”
Jiang Xun laughed, “When I finish the fall exam, I’ll go with Big Brother Zheng to see Sheriff Jumbo.”
“Good, I’ll go with sister-in-law Meng.”
Cun Cun’s loud voice came from inside, “Uncle, come and see sister, sister Jun.”
Jiang Xun laughed, “I’ll go see my niece.”
He lifted the soft curtain and walked to the east side house.
Cun Cun and Hua Hua’s excited cries came from the house.
“Uncle.”
“Meow.”
Then came the cries of the two little girls.
“Uncle Jiang.”
“Second brother Jiang.”
Jiang Yishi and Zheng Tingting followed them in.
Jiang Xun had already picked up Little Tone.
His posture of holding the little tyke was particularly standard, and little Yin’er grinned at him, her eyes all bent with laughter.
He looked up and smiled at Jiang Yishi, “Yinyi looks more like me.”
This statement Zheng Tingting expressed her disapproval, “Where does Yin’er look like Second Prince Jiang, they all say she looks like me.”
Jiang Xun froze. He felt that this statement was too ridiculous, Little Tone Er didn’t even have a corner relative with the Zheng Mansion, how could she be like him.
But the girl said so, he couldn’t say it wasn’t like him, and smiled without saying anything.
Little CunCun stood on the bed, deflating her mouth and said, “Sister is most like even, like CunCun.”
Jiang Yishi digressed, “The food is here.”
A table was set up in the west side of the house, Jiang Xun and Little Cunxian ate there. A table was set up on the bed in the east side house, Jiang Yishi and the others ate here.
After the meal, the light rain that had been falling for two days finally stopped.
A seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky, and the clear sky was as blue as if it had been washed. Raindrops were still falling on the eaves, branches and leaves, and the maids had already swept the fallen leaves and puddles from the ground.
Zheng Tingting took her leave to return to the house.
Jiang Yishi escorted her out the door and stood under the porch to watch her leave.
In the west side of the house, Jiang Xun stood at the window and looked out. That tall and slender figure walked farther and farther away, came to the courtyard gate, then looked back with a smile, turned around and disappeared behind the courtyard gate.
That smile was like a blooming flower, making Jiang Xun’s heart beat faster and it was hard to hide the throbbing.
I don’t know when my sister had come to his side and coughed lightly.
Only then did Jiang Xun wake up from the center of his contemplation and couldn’t help but blush.
Now was not the time to discuss this matter, Jiang Yishi herself did not know what to do, nor was she willing to distract Jiang Xun before the Autumn Examination.
Jiang Yishi pulled Jiang Xun to sit down and asked him about his health and the food situation at home. Jiang family can not help him a little favor, as long as the food to get good, do not let people give him more trouble on it.
Jiang Xun, Jiang Yishi took Cun Cun and Hua Hua went to Fu An Hall. Now that the weather is cold, the freshly minted Yinyi won’t go out of Fu An Residence. The old lady, unlike the old master, was far less interested in Meng Yin’er than she was in her grandchildren.
The women and children had already arrived, and the crowd accompanied the old lady as she joked and laughed. Only Liu was like a dullard, sitting there without saying a word.
As long as the old master is not in the old lady, Liu will not talk much. If the old master is there, Liu’s words will be more.
The men came from the outer courtyard, their faces were not very good.
The old lady asked, “What happened?”
Meng Zhimo said, “News came from over there, yesterday King Wen cut a piece of meat to make soup and had it sent to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to drink it, and the Empress Dowager’s illness actually got better by half today. The emperor is very happy, think it is the king of Wen great filial piety moved heaven. Not only did he lift his ban early, but he also promoted the County King to Prince.”
Because Li Zhenbao’s condition was more serious than in previous years, the Empress Dowager was sad and had been crying out for a headache, and today the headache was suddenly gone.
Meng family members all hated King Wen, this really wasn’t good news.
Meng Yue’s head hung even lower.
The old lady said, “It should be that the imperial physician cured the empress dowager’s illness in time for King Wen to cut the meat yesterday to make soup.”
The old master said, “You also said it was a ‘coincidence’.”
Jiang Yishi realized. It must be that in his previous life, when the Empress Dowager’s illness got better today, King Wen rushed to “cut meat to beg his grandmother” yesterday.
Being reborn once again, the confused king wasn’t confused anymore.
Even up to now, King Ping’s party’s importance to King Wen is not as high as King Ying’s. King Ying and the Zhao family have been immersed in the imperial court for many years. King Ying and the Zhao family have been immersed in the imperial court for decades, and even if Zhao Hu was deposed and King Ying and Zhao Shufei lost their holy favor, their party is not to be underestimated.
On the other hand, King Wen, apart from the fact that he had collected some strange people in the past two years, he was still far worse than King Ying in terms of qi.
What King Ping did not want to see was King Wen defecting to King Ying.
