Chapter 125 – Family Matters
The sedan chair carried Jiang Yishi directly to the main courtyard, not only Xie and Zheng Jingjing were there, Zheng Yu was also there, while Zheng Tingting was not.
Zheng Yu is wearing civilian clothes today, the whole person’s temperament has calmed down a lot, but still has a sense of oppression, at a glance it is a military general’s origin.
Zheng Jingjing was so pleased with herself that she went over and pulled Jiang Yishi’s hand and said, ”Jiang second sister, my big brother is back. How is it? Handsome, right? I’m not bragging, right?”
Her words amused the crowd.
Zheng Yu laughed, “Little sister praised me this well.”
“Big brother was originally this good.”
Jiang Yishi has always liked the family atmosphere of the Zheng family, the family merging …… more accurately, the first branch merging.
Xie greeted Jiang Yishi and sat down, smiling, “I heard Yu’er say that you had already met the day before yesterday, and he even went to your family’s manor for dinner.”
Jiang Yishi smiled and nodded.
After a few jokes, Zheng Jingjing and Jiang Yishi went to the side room together.
Jiang Yishi put silver needles on her and listened to the little girl say what gifts big brother had brought her and how he complimented her on her good looks. She also asked Jiang Yishi to take a closer look at her eyes, “Aren’t my eyes better? Big brother didn’t even see that I had an eye disease, and said that I’m the handsome little lady that is rarely found.”
Jiang Yishi looked at the little girl’s eyes very carefully again, they were indeed better again, and could not be seen at all without paying attention. She laughed, “It’s only that little bit of a blemish, one or two more acupuncture sessions and it’ll be cured.”
The sound of mother and son talking in the hall room was very low, but Jiang Yishi’s ears were good and vaguely heard some of it. It seemed like the Grand Princess was so angry that she cried a few times because Zheng Yu had returned while her own son still hadn’t. Although He didn’t show unhappiness, she was even more drained. Zheng Tingting has been accompanying them, and Xie has asked Zheng Yu to go back tomorrow to enlighten the Grand Princess ……
“Your uncle over there really doesn …… t believe me.”
Zheng Yu said, “Mother, there really isn t, I won t lie to you. Both Uncle Grandma and Uncle Grandpa asked, and I said the same thing.”
Xie shook her head in disbelief, “You don’t help him hide it. If that happens, you can be sorry ……”
“I’m telling the truth, uncle didn’t do anything to apologize …… for.”
There are a few words they barely spoke, simply can not hear. Connecting the front and back, Jiang Yishi guessed that the front should be “woman” or “family”, and the back should be “He’s” or “Auntie Jiang Yishi guessed that the front should be “woman” or “family”.
Jiang Yishi didn’t want to think too much about other people’s domestic affairs, and put those words behind her.
After the acupuncture, Jiang Yishi excused herself and said she would come back for acupuncture on the seventh day of April.
At this time, it was already late, Xie could not stay. She sent Jiang Yishi a small box of gifts that Zheng Yu brought back from Anxi, as well as two fragrant steak chickens.
She also said, “The Grand Princess has not been well in recent times, and her mood is not too good, she likes to eat the rose crystal cake you made …….”
Jiang Yishi said, “Good, I’ll make some tomorrow and send them over.”
Getting on the carriage, Jiang Yishi opened the small box, which contained several pieces of silk scarves and fabrics from the Tianzhu. The silk scarves were transparent and light, the fabric was thick, colorful, beautiful patterns, and very exotic. Two handfuls of thread incense, the aroma is rich and long, is a little stuffy.
Jiang Yishi very much like those pieces of fabric, strong and good-looking, better than the Hu people store sold. Thinking about going to the Meng Mansion in the future, make cushions or pillows.
Back to the Jiangfu is already sunset.
Jiang Yishi back to the burning courtyard after washing, let Shui Ling take the fragrant steak chicken and a handful of incense, a silk scarf to go to the Ruyi Hall.
The family was waiting for her to come back for dinner.
The chicken is a great addition to the menu, the incense is distributed to the old lady and the three elders of the first and third houses, and the silk scarf is given to the old lady alone.
I heard that the thread incense is from the Dharma Kingdom, or Zheng Yu brought back, the old lady and Jiang Bozhi, the third lady are very like. The Hu people store also sells thread incense, they make it cheaper here, if it comes directly from there, it will be ridiculously expensive.
After returning to the Scorch House, Jiang Yishi gave Jiang Yirou a silk scarf. Instructing, “Use it after you get married.”
There are also two silk scarves that Jiang Yishi just isn’t willing to send to the big house.
Jiang Yirou was extremely fond of it and laughed, “I know, I’m not stupid. I’ll make another pair of shoes for second brother.”
The little girl didn’t look like she was cheeky all day, but she was very calculating in her heart. She knows that Jiang Yishi is the most relieved Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun than Jiang Yishi is still attached, full of good sister a. Jiang Yishi smiled and said, “I know, I’m not stupid, I’ll make a pair of shoes for the second brother.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “No need, Xun son has shoes.”
Jiang Yirou said, “Second brother grows fast, and especially waste shoes ……”
Indeed as Jiang Yirou thought, she made shoes for Jiang Xun than for Jiang Yishi to make Jiang Yishi happy. Jiang Yishi also often let the maid make shoes for Jiang Xun, that child is really too waste shoes.
The next day, Jiang Yishi got up early. The sunrise in the east is just hanging on the roof, the mist has not yet dispersed, the morning breeze blowing on the face cool, moist.
Jiang Yishi took Shui Ling and Shui Xiang, who were carrying flower pots, to dig in the garden, the soil here was better than elsewhere. Hua Hua followed at her feet, running with joy, it hoped that its master would quickly plant the tomatoes.
After digging up the soil and taking it back to the Scorched Courtyard, Jiang Yishi sprinkled a seed in one of the pots. And quietly with a toothpick dipped a little tears water in the flower sprinkles, shaking evenly poured in the flower pots.
After breakfast, Jiang Yishi again with water perfume water spirit to make rose crystal cake. When it was done at noon, she asked Shui Ling to send four food boxes to the Zheng Mansion, and then sent four pieces each to the masters of the mansion.
Although both the Grand Princess and Zheng Tingting had invited Jiang Yishi to play at the Grand Princess’s residence, Jiang Yishi was still reluctant to get too close to that high and mighty princess. This kind of attentiveness, let the people of the Zheng Mansion offer it.
Since then, Jiang Yishi every day to look at the planting of tomato pots three, four times, flowers are most of the time squatting in front of the flower pots to see, one person and one cat hope that the tomato seeds quickly seedlings.
In the middle of the night on the third day of April, Jiang Yishi was still sleeping soundly when she heard Hua Hua suddenly meowing in the yard.
“The tomatoes are sprouting, the tomatoes are sprouting …….”
Its yelling woke up everyone in the Scorch Courtyard and the next door Hua Courtyard. But because it was Flower, everyone wouldn’t blame it. It only muttered a few words and covered its head with the quilt to continue sleeping.
Jiang Yishi monkeyed around and put on his clothes and ran out.
At this time, the sky was still not yet bright, and the stars were blinking in the sky.
Under the starlight, I saw two flower pots with seedlings. Not grass, but seedlings, tender green tender green, in the night wind blowing under the trembling slightly shaking.
Jiang Yishi was also excited, for so many days of hope.
One person and one cat happy enough, Jiang Yishi only holding flowers into the house to rest.
Three days later, Wu You Gui came to the scorching courtyard, said this morning tomato seedling, his parents hurriedly let her over to report to the girl. One plant grew in each of the two pots, two plants grew in each of the two pots, and only two seeds did not germinate.
When he heard that both seeds here had sprouted, and three days earlier, he laughed and said, “My parents have always said that the girl knows how to raise flowers, and it’s true.”
