Chapter 127: Seeking But Not Being Able
Jiang Yishi led the little girl under the window and looked closely at her eyes.
In the big moist eyes, the two eyeballs were set in the center of the eyes like black jewels, round and bright.
Jiang Yishi said in surprise, “Ya, it’s really healed, such beautiful eyes.”
Zheng Jingjing smiled as her eyes curved and hurriedly stared round again, afraid that others would not see her eyes.
It amused Jiang Yishi and Zheng Tingting greatly.
The two clear and crisp laughs traveled to the east side of the house, like a ray of sunshine through the hazy sky all of a sudden.
The Grand Princess said, “What a beautiful voice, it’s a pity that this kind of laughter is rare in the mansion.”
Jiang Yishi was led in by the two sisters and bowed to the Grand Princess and He and Xie.
The old lady’s spirit was wilted, leaning angrily against the beauty couch. He was also visibly haggard, her smile not reaching the bottom of her eyes.
Xie took Jiang Yishi’s hand and smiled, “Thank you, my Jingjing’s eye disease is finally cured. When you get married, I will accompany a dowry.”
The family’s thank-you gifts were all ready, but Xie remembered that Jiang Yishi was an orphaned daughter, and both Old Madam Jiang and Uncle Jiang had a bad reputation. If more gifts were sent to the Jiang family, there was no telling how much would be left in the little girl’s hands. I decided to add makeup, add makeup Jiang family will not withhold.
Jiang Yishi red face, not good to answer, bring the rose crystal cake and tonic soup out. Crystal cake this time to eat, tonic soup to take to the kitchen simmering.
The Grand Princess took a bite of the crystal cake and said, “This snack is handsome and delicious, even more fragrant than the Imperial Household Cuisine.”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Grandfather Meng said I have a destiny with flowers and food ……”
The Grand Princess also looked up and down Jiang Yishi, enviously said, “or daughter is good, obedient, sweet, gentle and soft, how to see are comfortable. And then hand more clever, sweet mouth more, will raise flowers, will make food, aiyo, elders are enjoying the blessings.”
He also laughed, “Yes, it is said that a daughter is her mother’s little coat. Alas!”
She really wanted to have another daughter. But ……
The Grand Princess also sighed a few times. Her own belly was not competitive, and He’s belly was not competitive either, both generations of women had only one only son. Of course, even more exasperating is that son, run out of home, daughter-in-law want to give birth also can not be born ah.
Tingting lived in the Princess’s residence most of the time and was close to them. But Xie’s arrival, the two mothers and daughters, although the behavior is not intimate, but also deliberately keep a distance, but that kind of unconsciously revealed tacit understanding can not be hidden. No matter when, pro-life is pro-life.
At the midday meal, the men had a table and the women had a table. Because there is Jiang Yishi as an outsider, there is also a screen in the middle.
Two cans of tonic soup were served at one table, and everyone said it was extremely tasty. Xie and the others saw that several old people liked it, so they didn’t drink more, leaving them to continue drinking at night.
After the meal, a few old people and the not-so-healthy He wanted to take a lunch break, Xie rested in the compartment, and Zheng Tingting invited Jiang Yishi and Zheng Jingjing to her own courtyard here.
Since Jiang Yishi had come, she gave Zheng Jingjing acupuncture one more time, one last time.
When Zheng Jingjing went to rest after the acupuncture, Zheng Tingting spoke about her depression.
Big brother had been placed in the imperial forest army as a fourth grade lieutenant general, which was supposed to be a great joy. But because of big brother’s marriage, mother and father have been exasperated again in the past few days, and mother has even cried. Said like big brother as big as a descendant, others are having a baby, he even daughter-in-law do not want to find ……
Zheng Yu’s relatives Jiang Yishi is not good to talk too much, only quietly listen.
At the end, she said, “Vice Commander Zheng and Mrs. Zheng are so nice and didn’t force big brother Zheng to marry a girl he didn’t like.”
Zheng Tingting shook her head and said, “Forced. When my brother was pushed, he scared them that if he dared to take the liberty of settling for a marriage he didn’t want, he would run off to the border just like Uncle Ji. My parents then didn’t dare to push.”
Jiang Yishi thought of the words she heard that day in the Zheng Mansion, and it turned out that Zheng Ji was unwilling to return home because he didn’t like the marriage that his mother had forced him to ……
She also understood why He’s eyes were as calm as a nun’s because there were no more expectations.
However, Jiang Yishi felt that He’s calmness should be a strong suppression of emotions. If she was really calm without any expectations, she wouldn’t have become sick with worry.
Jiang Yishi was even more curious about Zheng Ji, not realizing that the famous general was still trapped by love. Thinking that he was a sad character who couldn’t get what he wanted and had to slip away. He is also a sad character, not allowed to love her husband, can only be alone in the room.
There are too many couples in the world who don’t get along with each other, but they still make do. Like them this extreme, seems to be only in the book.
Jiang Yishi also asked, “General Zheng’s favorite girl married? If she’s married, he won’t be too upset when he dies.”
Zheng Tingting said, “It seems to be dead, that’s why Uncle Ji is so angry.”
Before, she wasn’t too clear about these things about the elders, or after Zheng Yu came back, Xie had a conflict with her son and was so angry that she cried to her husband when she said something about the old story, which she heard.
Jiang Yishi lamented, “To be able to make Great General Zheng so long-suffering, she must be a good girl with a difference. It’s a pity.”
She thought of her mother Hu, people have been dead for many years, Jiang Chen still thinks about her unwillingness to remarry ……
Zheng Tingting said, “I don’t know if it’s good or not. However, when auntie was angry with Uncle Ji, she would scold her and call her a ‘vixen’……”
Zheng Tingting was self-conscious that she had said something she shouldn’t have, and awkwardly laughed dryly a few times. Glancing at Jiang Yishi, she laughed again, “My elder brother also said that not every descendant his age has given birth to a child, look at Brother Meng, he’s twenty-one this year, and he’s only talking about his daughter-in-law.”
Jiang Yishi also laughed.
The two of them played until the beginning of Shen Hour, Jiang Yishi went to Millennium Hall to say goodbye to a few elders.
The Grand Princess was obviously in better spirits than in the morning.
Sister Xia, who served her, laughed and said, “The tonic soup sent by Miss Jiang really works, look at the Eldest Princess, she didn’t cry out a word about chest tightness in the middle of the day.”
The recipe for the tonic soup was said by Old Divine Doctor Shen in his previous life. At that time, the soup was a vegetarian soup, and the old doctor said that it would be better if he added some sea cucumber and pork belly. Because he wanted to send Li Zhenbao, this time he still made vegetarian soup.
The most tonic in tonic soup was not the ingredients in the soup, but the processed salt and sugar, but drinking more of this tonic soup was definitely beneficial.
Jiang Yishi could tell that Grandma Xia wanted the recipe for the tonic soup. Laughing, she said, “This recipe is something I met an old woman who told me when I was copying scriptures and vegetarianism for my father in the temple last year. I will write it down for grandma. Also, adding some sea cucumber and pork belly to it would be better, and I didn’t add those two because I wanted to send it to Prefect Zhenbao.”
The Grand Princess was very satisfied and took Jiang Yishi’s hand and instructed, “Come and keep this palace company when you have nothing else to do, Little Miss Jiang is just like Ting Ting, she’s handsome and intelligent through and through.”
Also returned a ginseng and the Princess House kitchen made four boxes of snacks.
Jiang Yishi returned to Jiang Mansion, it was already sunset in the west.
The Jiang family master was already sitting in Ruyi Hall, waiting for Uncle Jiang to come back for dinner.
